so, here's the thing...

yeah... so you know...

I get really bored sometimes. this is probably my fifth time going through the links on the links page. I am considering adding links to people I don't even know just to have something to read/do when I am just sitting in fransont of the computer with an excel spreadsheet open and the browser window open at about 30%. and cougar - I do not have a plethora [of links anyways]

It's funny, because when I am typing an entry, it actually looks like I am doing work beacuse the window is small and seems to fit inside of the cells in excel.

in anycase, it's hard for me to read to go through the day trying to read blogs because no one updates nearly as often. the worst part is - I don't even care if what you have to say is interesting. the fact that I know who you are and are reading something that you wrote is good enough for me.

hell, it's good enough for me if I have a pretend aquaintance with you - "oh, so and so from dadada who commented a year ago wrote something new!" at this point of my boredom - that is exciting!

mostly I just keep checking if jon wrote something because it's usually well presented and interesting. eric doesn't even have his site anymore for some reason - I think someone should tell him. and some people haven't touched their blogs in over a year...

since I am bored, I will tell you why the different links on the links page are bolded or italicized or not... bold means that they updated in the last month - i am bored, so as I read the blogs, I change the format - it's not hard - it actually takes 10 seconds. [tangent] - why is it when we want people to wait just a bit longer we say "two seconds?" like anything that we could possibly do in two seconds will complete the task at hand? and the way we say it also, "twoooo seconds" - it almost takes two seconds to say that![/tangent]... no formatting means that you blogged in the last few months... italicized means that you haven't blogged in over a year - and since italics is harder to read that bold and normal - I figured people will over look the link...

there is no real preference, as the whole thing is in alphabetical order, but I did link all the family whom I know has some type of online presence - in-laws, cousins, in-law cousins, whatever...

btw - alvin got engaged, chris took some pictures and video (protected), and J flew out to see the engagement (eric went too, but I already linked his dead-end link)... connie has house stuff, chrissy busted her hand (again), and probably most exciting is anna is preggers again...

I also just found out that luis has a blog - I haven't seen him in at least a year - I probably would have linked more people, but all this linking is making me tired...

so as I wrap up this post - which took all of two seconds to compose - I remind all of you people to blog and blog often because people like me and like george need something to do.

eyeah, no...

you make me sick...

I would like to think of myself as one who can effectively articulate thoughts into words - in a written and spoken manner. I may not be a colorful or as clever as some people, but dammit, I can get my point across if I so choose. I am also very talented at bs. I can come across like I know what I am talking about, giving you sufficient cause to... back up off me. Regardless of the impression with which I leave you, for the most part, I can deliver. I can get the job done, because I know how to figure stuff out.

now, there are some people who would like to believe that they have this ability. they like to believe that they can talk their way out of a sticky situation. unfortunately, they cannot.

it is not unfortunate that they do not have this ability. It is unfortunate that they sound like an ass when they think they are coming off as intelligent. It bothers me when someone tries to pass off bs on me - but given the quality of bs I can produce, don't think that your second rate caca is going to pass for roses.

these people, have not figured out that the more they say, the more they reveal about what they know (or in most cases, do not know) in fact, they more often than not have diarrhea of the mouth. this ailment is further exacerbated by their defense of their "work" or "thinking", for their defense is not only weak, but arbitrary. Most of the time the arguments contradict themselves and usually go around in circles.

when I am in a patient mood, I sometimes let them argue themselves around until they realize they are wrong, but some of them never get there - they just sit (or stand) there blustering about nothing until I walk away because I get bored or pissed or they are pink in the face...

like strawberry quik...
