I know I'm weird, but...

Well, it's a funny thing that I do... A long time ago I used to send little thoughts while I sat on the toilet. Lately Travis started them back up. We have officially termed them "Pooisms" And they are our thoughts sent via text messages to those who have the sence of humor to have potty talk. Well, to give you an example of a Pooism, here is one that I wrote not too long ago:

As is sit and think of the glorious day... The beast is being exhumed from my bowels, yes, the same beast that left his stench through burlington coat factory yea... The same beast that putrified the air in Travis' car. Low and behold the beast of my bowels are now laying in the hommage plate to the porcelain gods. Farewell my putrescent friend, I will miss thy stench making abilities... Until next time, fare the well good sir!

Or another one that I sent today was:

Sometimes when the inevitable is coming there are warning signs... Some washing machines will beep as the different parts of the cycle is completed... Other things might include a spike in the economy hints at a recession to follow, the look on someone's face after you have insulted someone dear to them could hint at a fist sammich coming to a face near you...

Today I realized a new warning technique that my body does every now and then. As the morning hiatus comes near, I have been getting warning gas. It is kinda like the timers on a bomb from the movies... It starts off slow, beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... And as it nears, it starts coming faster and faster beep..beep..beep..beep.. Then as the big #2 is coming it goes on red alert! BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP then you know it is a matter of seconds before you have to get to the facilities or have a mess on your hands. As the timer starts ticking down, the warning signs get more and more intense in frequency and smell. And you can usually tell how much time someone has even if they have just walked in the room.

The smell warning is for the benefit of those around the person, though it seems otherwise. It may seem that their body is trying to punish you for being their friend, quite the opposite, their body is telling you, friend, if you want to stay my friend and keep clean in the process the you best give me room and show me to "stinky town"! So, when a friend comes in with a awful smell that could only be produced by something of an evil nature, do what their body is begging you, show them to the toilet.

This has been another POOISM brought to you by Skittles.

Skittles... Taste the Rainbow.

There have been others... and there will be a lot more to come!

Love, Peace, squirt a little smell for the odor of the beast!

Tough weekend...

Wow, this last weekend was a tough one! Yeah, I'm not going to go into great detail, but let's just say it was filled with rejection and heart ache. It was one of those weekends that you would rather have a debilitating sickness or get in a car accident... something other than what you had just been through.

You know, after these types of times, it really makes you appreciate the bland lives we lead. There are people who live everyday of their lives in these situations. I'm glad I only have to experience them every now and again.

One good thing that came from this weekend is that I sold one of my guns :-] That was a good thing.

The Supra is BIZZACK!

Well, after a long year in the shop, the supra is back in the stable! I'm so excited that I get to have it back! It's a new and improved car ;-]

After the whole Discount Tire fiasco (they tried to remote start my car while it was in gear, so the car drove into a ditch... doing about $10,000.00 of damage and then wouldn't own up to the responsibility to fix it). The supra is finally finished with a new single turbo and some other goodies that I upgraded as we needed to replace some things. It was actually cheaper for me to make my car faster that it would have cost me to put my car back to where it was before the "accident". I'm pleased with the results. My car is now making 521whp and about 500ftlbs of torque. It is definitely a fast fast car!

Now, there is still a long laundry list of things to do to the car to have it where I want it, but they are relatively small things in comparison. Some of the things include:

- Replace headlights
- Tweak the tuning
- Fix the stereo
- Bolt the passenger's seat down (apparently that could pose a problem)
- Fix the track on the driver's side window to roll up properly
- Replace the rear diff with a LSD (that's more for the safety aspect of things
- Replace the wheel bearings
- Put new carpet in it
- Put gauges in so I can monitor my engine better
- And a couple of other little things.

Yeah it seems like a long list, but it really is a tiny bit compared to the stuff I have already done to it. I'll have to post a picture in a little bit.

I made a book...

Yes, that's right... I made a book. It's pretty nifty if you ask me, it is a book of all the decent pictures I took when I went to Europe this summer. I wasn't too happy with the amount of pictures that I liked from the trip, but stretching a little bit got me to the point that I filled a small 20 page book with the photos. I ordered it tonight, and it should be here in about 8-10 business days. Now, I'm not saying it's a masterpiece, but I am saying that I am excited about it. I am also working on 1 other book of my own and then 2 more that I'm doing with my family (that will be longer than 20 pages).
How do I make a book you ask? Oh, that's the easy part. Go to www.apple.com and look at the mac section of the website, there you will find a tutorial on how to make a book through their iPhoto application. It's so easy a philanthropist could do it!
I am excited to see how it turns out. We will see if it is worth the $20 a book to have done.
