I was going to wait to write this article until a bit closer to christmas, but I figured I might as well do it now.        Friday December 20, 2000. I'm pretty sure that was the date, but if I'm wrong it was close to that. Without going into too many details leading up to it, I was going to meet with the Woman I Love at church for what was to be the last time we would meet (we later got back together for a few wee...

       With other people having shared their pictures I shall now give in to peer pressure and share my own. Hopefully they won't be too scary, maybe I should mark it adult content just to be safe First up is an old picture of me taken when I was at RIT in 1996. Here we have me by the front door to our house. This was my room at the time this picture was taken, but is now my brothers. I'm about the cross the finish line having run a half m...

       So I'm reading the paper today while I have lunch and I find two crazy stories.        The first is about a "ghost cane" that sold for $65000 on ebay. Bought by the same company that bought the virgin mary moldy sandwich. The owner of the cane said she was selling it so that her 6 year old son would think that his grandfathers ghost would leave the house with it. Tis just silly, that's what I think.   ...

       So it's been a few days since my last blog (which I felt was a bit weak but thats besides the point) and I'm thinking I should write another (and have had a few people hint that to me as well). I have various ideas, yet none of them are formed enough to share. So instead I'm going to try something different and ramble on about whatever I happen to ramble on about.        I've been worried about Texas Wahine lately...

       A while back I went to a restaurant (Don Pablos I think) and they had something called dogs in a blanket. Was a food idea I hadn't thought of before, and it tastes pretty good. I've made it a few times since, and today that's what I had for lunch. For anyone wondering I'll share how I make this yummy foodstuff.        Ingredints: taco/burito shell (round flat bready thing), cheese (any kind will work, just needs ...

       When I was in high school (yes, time for another high school story) I had some friends (really, I did) and one day when we were talking (as friends tend to do) one of us came up with a silly idea (arn't they all?). I don't remember who, but that's not important, the idea is what's important: We were going to make candy.        So there we were, a half dozen high school kids convinced we were going to make a fortun...

       Here's some insight into how I go about writting the stuff I write, for any of you that might be interested. For me there are two types of blogs: the thought out ahead of time ones, and the reaction/spure of the moment kind.        The thought out ones tend to get written a day (or more) before they get posted. I'll write out my thoughts/feelings on whatever the topic is, save them to a text files and post them wh...

       So my family left for thanksgiving, off to see far away people and such. And I got to stay home, which I consider a good thing. But it's not all rosy here. As they were walking out the door dad mentioned that he had turned the heat down. Makes sense, if they arn't here why should the whole house be kept toasty warm, only room that needs to be warm is mine. So I didn't worry about it...        Well it turns out ...

Today is Thanksgiving, so in the spirit of giving thanks here are some things I am thankful for (in no particular order): That my family loves me. That I have the house to my self until saturday night. That I am in generally good health. That I live in a nation where I am allowed to do more or less whatever I want. That it is snowing. That my computers do what I ask them to. That Draginol made this place called JoeUser.com That there are so many wonderful people here at JoeUser.com ...

       It's girl scout cookie time again (at least in my part of the world). Looks like they turned the lemon cookies of yesteryaer into lemon wedge thingies. Can't say it's an improvement, I liked those lemon cookies, but well, the wedges aren't bad. Otherwise looks like they have the same cookies as last year.        I was looking at the boxes and I got to be thinking. The boxes have these pictures of girls doing var...

       I am making this article so that anyone that might want to get my attention for something that would be off topic elsewhere can do so. It's one of the things joeuser is lacking (unless i can't find it), a way to off topicly communicate with the other bloggers without hijacking a blog in process.        Comments, questions, requests, whatever, toss them in here and I'll see them. Today, tomorrow, next year. Thanks...

       Now that things have quieted down on the political front (I can hope at least) I'm going to share my solution to all the problems we have in America. One simple idea, that if properly implemented, would solver every single problem in this nation. Mind you, not all of them would be solved overnight, but given time all of our problems would go away.        So here's the solution: "Blow all them foreigners to Hell an...
