I like this song.

Today I went and bought a new fish tank for Austin, as promised and two new friends for him. His freinds names are:

- Coco (cause he is black and the other two are gold)
- Jesus (in recognition of Austin’s returning of life)

Cool huh? I will just go take a photo of the new fish tank, be right back…

Back. Woops, now I have to start this post again with the picture in it, be right back…

Okay, here is the picture:

Pretty cool huh?

Just think, in the moments it took you to read those to “be right back” statements ten minutes actually passed in Mitch-time. Pretty crazy when you think about it.

Well instead of boring you guys out I am going to go to bed and call it a night. Hope you enjoy my fishes.

Hot girls make Mitch dumb

My little brother was looking for a new pair of shoes, so I was designated driver. We drove down to Gyro Clothing (the local clothing store for surf style clothing) and we went in. We had been there for about five minutes and “THE HOTTEST GIRL IN THE WORLD” walked in. This girl was so hot, that, if you aren’t properly prepared and you looked at her, your eyes will bleed from the dynamic of her hotness! So what did good old Mitch do? He looked, he kept looking, she looked back and smiled wantonly and he continued looking as if in a coma. She quickly looked away and the window of opportune was gone!

Not that I care, I don’t consider myself “on the market” or “looking” but if I was, man what a joke. I felt as though every possible drop of coolness, of which I am severely lacking anyway, was sucked from my body and I just sat staring at this goddess of sex appeal. She really was a killer, I am not lying.

After I walked out I commented to my little brother on how incredibly hot she was, he informed me that she was 16 so now I have to find someone to confess to. I feel a little perverted, but more amused by how I handled the situation. The worst part is, that’s the story of my home town; the only pretty girls in the entire population are either 16-18 years old (which is too young for me) or have 6 kids. But like I said, I am not phased, I don’t consider myself on the market and I am not looking for romance. So if you are reading this, don’t think I am looking for a buxom young wench to do my bidding, I’m not.

Here I sit…

Here I sit with a bottle of Heineken in hand, nothing in my mind and the prospect of a blog entry before I go to bed. I figure I would do what I always do and just let it flow, but usually by this time I would have an idea of what I was going to write about, but tonight I’ve got nothing. Beer number three and I have something to share. Feedback? Enjoy…

She pulled closed the shutters and stopped the rain falling on his face. She caressed the beads of water from his nose and eyes and drew her finger across his lips wetting them. She kissed him softly and he smiled subconsciously.

“Loving you is bliss,” she whispered even though he was asleep and clearly couldn’t respond. It didn’t matter, she meant just that, it was bliss and she knew it.

She protected him while he slept, just as he protected her whenever they were awake. He was strong like a rock and there was nothing he couldn’t do for her, except show her his feelings. He loved her and she guessed it, but she never knew how much.

A year later and he is all alone. The rain falls on his face as he sleeps and there is no one there to wipe his brow. There is no one there to love him and protect him when he is asleep and no longer strong.

Austin Lives

Okay, well remember I reported that my gold fish, Austin, was dead? He’s not. That’s right, just like Jesus Christ; he has come back from the dead. Some time over the last few days he has come back to life. He has been struggling, but now he is swimming around and looking fine. Man, I am pretty happy about that. I felt a little guilty having killed him so I am going to take extra special care of him from now on. :-)

Okay, so I had a pretty bad day and I need to complain. I have made reading this entry optional so if you click the Continue reading “Bad then worse, good then bad, good then bad” button be prepared for me to have a good long whinge about my bad sucky sucky sucky bad day!

Three stories, with very original titles; “Bad then worse”, “good then bad” and “good then bad”. Pretty cool huh? Nope, I know, but I needed to get this out of my system. :-(

The death of Austin

As of 1104 hours my pet goldfish, Austin, is deceased. I have been a negligent owner and didn’t clean his tank. I have decided that I might get another fish, but if I do I will be putting him in a tank with a filter so that the water is kept nice and clean when I am too lazy to empty it out and change it.

I will write a better blog entry tonight, until then, enjoy my favorite Austin memory; the one where he swam around.

Disappointed and happy all at once…

Man, what a bad/good day.

First off, the bad. I got back two assignments today. One was 100% and the other was only 40%! AHH! If you know me well you would know that this is only my second mark all semester that is less than 100% and man, 40% is NOT good! I won’t go on about it, so read on for the good.

Today was possibly one of the grandest days in my existence – well, for at least the last week or so. Today I woke up and realized I had money. Enough money to finish my Star Trek collection! Yay! That means I finally have the entire series of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I don’t know if you are a trek geek like myself, but I love Star Trek. So much is my love that I have now bought 7 box sets, each valued at $190 (I’ll do the math for you, that comes to $1,330). You damn skippy baby! I know that is a lot of money, but hey, who cares, it makes me happy. No mum, it’s not your money so you can get mad at me – hahaha.

In other news – yes, my Star Trek love deepens - work on my Star Trek Information Database has recommenced. As of now I will be researching and writing all the data myself. I won’t be visiting any other websites to get a hand; I will be putting in the hard yards. Why? Because I enjoy it! I am honestly not doing it for anyone’s benefit except my own. As soon as I finish the new design I will post a URL to the weblog and allow my readers a sneak peak. Until then, keep it real homies!

More fun then a Barrel o’ Monkeys v1.0

Welcome to my first Friday Report, “More fun then a Barrel o’ Monkeys”. Why did I choose this title? Well because Barrel o’ Monkeys are hell fun, for one, and two; I was going to call it “More fun then a Fun-Sized Mars Bar” but we have already established how lame those things are.

So what is the Friday Report?
My FR is where I will list some fun websites, fun movies, fun snacks and anything else fun I might find including jokes and things. Every friday I will make a report about fun stuff to cheer up the readers and myself. My postings won’t always be happy, just as my life won’t always be happy, so I will spend at least one day every week posting some fun stuff to cheer everyone up.

Well this is my first post and for the next 3 or 4 weeks I will probably just split them up with all my favorite websites from the past years. I have a lot so I won’t put them all into one post.

Okay, anyone who knows me will have heard me mention this one. Homestar Runner is, in my opinion, one of the funniest websites on the Internet. It�s hard to say what sort of age-group it is designed for, but it is hilarious! Every Monday there is a new Strongbad Email, in which Strongbad answers an email. He is supposed to be a cool guy, but after a few emails you realize he is a little bit lame, but funny all the same. There are a heap of cartoons, character profiles, all sorts of funny stuff. If you visit, give it a chance it might not be for you at first but it will definitely grow on you. Just so you don�t miss out, here are some of my favorites:

Control Alt Delete is one heck of a hilarious comic. Basically to get the basic idea of this one, just go to the character profiles page and read. I haven�t been reading this one for very long, but I think it�s pretty funny.

Well this blog entry is already longer than I wanted it to be. For now, you will just have to enjoy those two websites. If you have a suggestion for the next Friday Report, feel free to contact me.

Saving old entries

Okay, I couldn’t resist and had to save a few entries out of my weblog before that thing happened. I saved the entries “About Cars” and “Singing in the Rain”. Another of the things I couldn’t resist saving is this joke, enjoy…

“You can paint my porch - how much do you charge?” he asked.

The girl thought for a moment: “How’s about $50?”

The man duly agreed and informed his new employee that the paint and ladders she needed were in the garage, and let her get on with it. An uncomfortably short time later, the doorbell rang.

“I’ve finished!” beamed the blonde girl proudly, “that’ll be $50, please!”
“You’ve finished already?” asked the man, utterly astounded at the girls efficiency.

“Of course,” answered the blonde. “I even gave it two coats, just to be sure!”

Impressed the man gave her a crisp $50 bill.

“Oh and by the way, silly,” the blond added, “that’s not a porch, and it�s a Ferrari…”

How cute is my dog?

This is my dog, “Shadow”, being very cute. About 3 months ago we bought him a little bed, between him jumping on it like a trampoline and chewing it up, there is little more than a frame and a hesham bag only half attached. Regardless I think it’s pretty cute when he still tries to sleep in it even though he is really just lying on the ground. Enlarge the picture for a better look.

Fun-sized Mars Bars and no sleep…

What the heck is so “fun” about a fun-sized Mars Bar? Let’s go through the stages of consuming a fun-sized Mars Bar.

  1. Decide you want a snack
  2. Find a “fun”-sized mars bar
  3. Take one bite and it’s gone
  4. Disappointment when you eat another 6

Am I missing something here?!?! Is there some hidden fun in eating 6 of those crappy little things rather than one normal one? Seriously, I don’t think they are all they are cracked up to be. They should be called “Small Mars Bars” or “Bite-Sized Mars” or “Treats Sure to Disappoint”!

Anyway, I haven’t been sleeping very well lately, due to the fact that recent stress levels have climbed to an all time high and that I am spending way too much time at my computer. For example; this is my 4th blog entry today - that’s just sad. It has gotten to the point that at certain times of the day I am so physically exhausted that I can’t sleep. It hurts being so tired you can’t sleep, I mean it physically hurts.

I also decided today that if I can make 50 consecutive days of blogging I will move my weblog onto my other server and put it on google and various weblogging communities. Should be interesting to get some traffic and hopefully some comments to my posts. Scary part is that puts a lot of pressure on me to be “Mr. Cool Writer Guy” and to be all fun and interesting. I’m sure I’ll manage, I’m going to try and get some sleep, so until tomorrow, adios!

Do I touch my stomach too often?

One of my little idiosyncrasies is that I play with my stomach. I dunno why, it’s just sort of my comfort zone and it feels nice or something. Well anyway, I think I might do it a little too much, considering one of my little brothers friends drew a sketch of me today, and well, you can click on it and see for yourself…

The gears of the mind�

Last night I had the best idea for the new design I have been working on. I really like the idea of gears working and turning together in animations, I think they just look so cool. So that is sort of going to take on a part in the theme. Mine are going to be called mind gears, as in, thinking and stuff. I have made “link to” graphics, which are tiny graphics people can download and put on their website to link to your website, for both my weblog and colonparenthesis. I�d love it if anyone who reads this could have a quick look and post some comments to this blog entry if you like/dislike them. Anyway, they include the gear the same as the header for this page. I think the gear looks cool. I got the idea from the movabletype logo, but mine isn�t quite as cool as theirs.

I have also began work on animated “mind gears” and if you want to have a look and leave some comments on this post that would be cool! So go and look!

Lord of the Rings Blooper

I was watching The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers the other day and noticed a bit of a blooper. In the scene that the Riders of Rohan come over the field and surround Legolas, Gimli and Aragorn, just after they give the horses to them Eomyr gets on his horse in preparation to ride off. Well if you watch closely, just as he gets up his sword begins falling from its sheath and actually completely falls out before they ride off. Well I took a little screen shot just before it falls out. Enjoy the pic!
