I saw a commercial where two kids are too
excited to sleep because they are going to Disneyland the next
day. I could relate as I loved Disneyland. This site showcases
Magic Kingdom’s discontinued rides
and attractions. Equally (if not more) interesting is
this article which showcases the Magic Kingdom’s discontinued park
guests.
While searching out the Disney Death thing, I
came across this morbidity.
I’m sure there’s a very good reason to chronicle all of Hawaii’s
modern-day tragedies, I just can’t think of it right now.
Voodoo is extremely cool, but only when it
happens to others. Pinstruck
allows you to send anonymous voodoo curses. Sure it sounds
funny, but make sure you send a sample curse to yourself first
just to check out how freaky it is. My friend sent one to her
boyfriend’s ex-wife because she found out she was sending him
e-mail. I advised her to curse the bitch, and the e-mails
immediately stopped. Amazing how it works.
Here’s a nice review of Pearl
Harbor.
Here’s the latest news on the Burger
King food tampering case.
So for kicks, I sold Jesse Helms’ soul. It was
fun for a few minutes, but not as much fun as acting like a retard.
No. That is not a picture of me.
I
love this
guy‘s stuff. Check out his desktop wallpaper section.
It’s especially cool if you like orange.
Well
I wanted to get my poster section up today, but I took too long
learning pop-up windows the hard way when they’re actually so
simple. Here’s
my newest addition I bought a few days ago from Squaresville.
Pretty much anything with Man
or Astro-man? on it is going to be cool.
After unpacking and moving
furniture around all day, we rewarded ourselves by going bowling
(even though we’re still not settled). These two guys in the
lane next to us were wearing the exact same
thing: white wife beater tank-top, silver chain, blue nylon
sweatpants that were too big, and greasy hair that I think was
from too much gel but could have been just grease. One had a
moustache, one a goatee. Both were very white. I am
positive they had a tape of Kid Rock in the Camaro they were
driving. We assumed they were from out of town and decided to go
bowling in Atlanta because they were wired on crank. We always
find it fun to associate young, hip-hop, white trash, rednecks
with amphetamines. Every trailer you see that does not actually
lie in
a trailer park is really a meth lab, and we won’t hesitate to
point each and every on them out when driving through the
country. “Look. I bet that’s a meth lab.”
“Totally. Look. That one
over there is definitely a meth lab.”
Five minutes later, “Meth
lab.”
Just a little bit later, a
third guy comes in wearing the same tank-top, but he had a
fondness for gold and denim. Apparently he wasn’t a bowler. At
least he had a bit more color for tank-top season. He came and
left a few times, and on his third exodus, one of the guys
warned him in a shooshed voice, “Don’t do all that shit,
man!”
Assumption confirmed. Don’t do
crank unless you want to end up wearing a wife beater to a
bowling alley. It’s not pretty.
We spent the rest of the time
in the bowling alley bar playing darts on one of those cool dart
boards that keep score for you. This is a godsend if you are
drinking beer by the pitcher. The jukebox forced us to go retro
with Journey and Fleetwood Mac. It was either that or country.
It was a good Memorial Day.
What’s groovin today:
Buy and sell souls in the soulXchange.
I was going to add fun cursor to this site,
cuz I though they were cool. Then I stumbled upon this
forum.
“Great for a
“gag” gift or as a serious collector’s fossil
specimen.” What
could it possibly be?
When the
guys at Fugly.com say they may
have crossed the line, you know it’s bad.
Also, I’m looking for banner exchanges so I
can make The Boss up there disappear. Again, e-mail me. Right
now I’ve got to run to the post office and send off a Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtle action figure that I sold to some dude on
e-bay for $12. Jeez, people will buy anything. Must get haircut
too as I’m looking very…surprised.
So today I came across gigposters.com.
They have a huge collection of concert posters. This may not
excite you, but it certainly gives me a thrill as I am a
(rather new) collector of signed concert posters. The site
doesn’t actually sell the posters, but you can search the
database by band and artist to see what’s out there. You can
then search e-bay, poster dealers, and artist websites to buy
what you want for the lowest price. Why am I saying
“you” when I should be saying “I”? This site
is going to drive me nuts. *Must excise control.*
This has inspired a whole new poster section
for this site which will feature my collection, my future
collection, and a guide to all that is rock posters.
By the way, if anyone knows of a cheap framer
in Atlanta, please let
me know. I’ll give them tons of business.
Jesus
vs. The Aliens got some interesting new mail today.
There’s also something new in Fun with Jesus that’s a real h00t
to do in the office. (I know this first hand).
If
I had a better connection, I could actually watch this.
Okay. Time to stop griping. Obviously, things could be worse.
With
all the damn websites
that are too numerous to even mention, it’s
no wonder!
I
guess the ecstasy dealer didn’t show up as planned?
I’d
rather have a brick, thanks.
Also, I don’t have DSL yet, so I have
to dial up. Do you know how hard it is to go back to dial-up
after using DSL? It’s like Morse fucking code! Grrr!
On the flipside, I got a new web host with no
pop-up ads and a lot more options. This I’m very happy about
since each pop-up add was taking a tiny little chip out of my
soul.
On to things that are more interesting:
So this girl with a web cam was beginning to
be stalked by one of her viewers. Fortunately she happens to be
pretty ballsy and an amateur martial artist, so she doesn’t take
lightly to being stalked. She kept all her e-mails from the
stalker/loser. Check
it out.
Okay, I like to poke fun at religion as much
as the next guy, but this guy is a piece of work. At first I was
actually pretty angered by the site, but after exploring it for
a while, I was impressed by the whole concept…even though it
is not my style. This
guy is really stirring it up. He manages to offend just
about everyone, no matter what they believe.
For more shits and giggles, go
here.
This
is informative.
Here is my friend’s webcam
site.
I bought a T-shirt today from tshirtsthatsuck.com.
Here’s what’s on the front:
Read it out loud. I swear I’m not affiliated with that site
at all, but I should be as I’m going to be doing quite a bit of
shopping from them in the future.
Okay. I’m back from work. This site is
definitely going to be a night gig.
Games section,
though small, is up and running.
Oh the poor PR department at McDonald’s. First this,
then this,
and now they have to deal with this.
While I was tracking down the links, I came across this
article from a guy who thinks McDonald’s Employees
should be armed. “I am a fast food cashier. Fear me.”
That site that had the article about the fries
really has it out for McDonald’s, don’t
they? Fine with me. I only go there in times of
desperation. Tacobell is, of course, fast food of the gods.

got a little machine. You’re the bone machine.” – Pixies
I twisted my ankle doing laundry last night,
and it’s still swollen and hurts. Then I woke up today feeling
like I ate a bucket of jalapenos the night before. Hmm…just
writing about it makes the feeling go away. Heartburn. Burning
sensation.
Okay, now this site will be filled with me
typing the ailments that bug me in hopes that they disappear.
Ankle the size of a homeless lady. Nope. Still hurts.
I redid my Black Planet page a little bit.
Trying to get the page to layout the way you want it to is like
pulling teeth.
They say that site has a huge amount of stickiness. Stickiness
being the actual time that its visitors stay there. Well I’m
pretty sure that their sucky page-making system has a lot to do
with it.
Stickiness. Bah! I’ve got your stickiness
right here!
I love this
site.
One odd thing I did notice was that my online
guestbook is still up and running. I’ll be creating a new one,
but at least I can transfer the old entries over.
Check out this freak.
It’s the pictures of him and his friends that kill me. “Oh,
by the way, our friend is coming over for dinner, and he looks
sort of like a big lizard. Try not to stare.”
…and speaking of things that are green.
It’s fun when you just mash the buttons really
fast and then freeze….and then mash and then freeze. Mash
and freeze.
OK, I have to pack
now. Moving sucks.
Today I added a new Feature page.
Black Planet. I can’t say enough about Black
Planet, and I’m white.
It’s an asset to the internet in so many ways. I was trying to
come up with content ideas for booboowackwack.com I
thought if I started repeating “boo boo wack wack” a
few times, an idea would come. Behold, Black Planet was
the first thing that came into my mind. I’ve already been a
member over there for almost a year, and I was well accepted
into the community. (Everyone is extremely nice) So to give this
site some soul and diversity, I think I’m going to see how it
works as a regular spot on this site. Here’s the
details.
My first was a site called Jesus vs. The
Aliens which was on AOL about three years ago. Alas, it died
from the web when I killed AOL. Well, killed it from my computer
anyway, duh. It’s fun stuff, and miffed a whole lot of
people. Look to see it resurrected with a new look on this
site later.
My second site is The
Sanctum Collective. Unless you are familiar with the
game of Sanctum, it will probably mean nothing to you. If you
like deep strategy games, art, and trading cards, you should give
it a whirl. There’s not a lot of action
on it, but it’s another great
game that should really be a lot bigger than it is. I
like games.
At the moment, this site is an open canvas,
but I can guarantee it will be worth returning to.

| Ok I can’t figure out if the soulXchange site I mentioned the other day is amusing or not. I started messing with it the other day. I’m not, of course, going to sell my own soul. We all saw what happened when Bart Simpson jokingly sold his soul one time, so I’m not even going to consider it. Heh. “Way to breathe, no breath.” |

Almost There |
| Wednesday, May 23rd, 2001 |
| …a week later and I’m finally moved in. I just spent an hour setting my comp up in my new fabulous sunroom only to discover that the phone outlet is nowhere near where I want it to be. Trauma. Also, the computer set-up takes a little too much space in here. Screw it. I’m determined. This room rocks. It also gives me a clear shot of the living room TV. I’m one of those media addicts that has the internet and the TV going at once. It’s sick. |

More Progress |
| Saturday, May 12th, 2001 |
| The new section is coming along. Unfortunately, it was just sitting on my hard drive for a few years, and now there are lots of dead links I have to take care of. If anyone can find a picture of Copernicus’s original solar system drawing, send me the link! Speaking of links, that’s the next section to go up…slowly but surely. |

This is my third serious website. When I say serious, I mean one that didn’t last more than a week and one that didn’t feature vacation pictures. (Were you expecting to find a link to vacation pictures? …mmmaybe later.) |
