    Because I Can 11:00 am-

    Well I was going to write a brief bit mentioning that January 31st was the second anniversary of this website, and just didn’t out of laziness. I think it’s kind of funny that this page has made it to two years old. I was out of work last year for the first anniversary of the site. My readership has went up and my frequency of putting up something new has gone down. So I am going to try to put up something more often. I got the forth part of Management Memoirs that I’m stuck on right now, writers block can suck sometimes. Once again I make an offer to anyone out there (be it I know you or not) to write something if you have something you want to say. My old History Teacher told me I should give social commentary a shot, yet I just can’t make up my mind what social commentary is. So if you happen to surf by and you want to be heard send me an e-mail or sign the GuestBook or even toss it in the message board.

    The one other bit of news that is worth mentioning is I have a new Spider coming on board to write some stuff. I have known the guy for a long time so he should put up some interesting material. Spider was a pen name I used to write some rather offensive bits with out having anyone think it was me. It worked for a while. But some people are smart and figured out my so called writing style. Ok only one person that I know of actually figured it out (Hi Pete!). Any way the new Spider has his own password to the server and his own set of tools so he has pretty much free reign to do what he wants. But I trust him with my baby. Hopefully Spider will have something up later today.

    Well it’s been a whole year since my friends the Isley’s became parents. Last year this time wasn’t much of a happy occasion. But today is different. A year ago the kid came fighting into this world. Now she has to fight off all of the people that love to come over and see her. That is the kind of change for the better that I like to see. Anyway the kid has made turn a little more mellow maybe. I don’t even try to play the tough guy around her any more. I couldn’t even if I wanted to now. I am just a big softy I guess. So I say Happy Birthday Elaine.

    On the bad side of this event, I would like to say that a years time has came way too fast. That pace of time has sped up again. In no time we will be celebrating her 16th birthday. That is the only thing I can say is bad about my friends having kids. Lets see in 15 years it will be? 2015 right? Ok in 2015 I’m going to be…. Oh shit I’ll be forty-three.

    I talked to a few of the ladies at work who have just entered the wonderful realm of personnel computing who had a few questions. Now I don’t claim to be a super genius when it comes to this pc stuff. I have been around. So I put up this page that covers how to add pages to your favorites and how to surf to other sites. Now these may seem like a stupid thing to have to show people. But it isn’t. For someone just starting out these are some pretty important questions. So those of you who are already web-savvy can just skip it.

    Now another thing I was telling these ladies about is the AOL Instant Messenger program. It can be downloaded here. This nifty little program lets you talk to other Instant Messenger users or even those people who are actual AOL users. So if you want to be able to IM like all of those AOL fools grab this guy.

    And because I’m feeling nice here’s a link of the day I borrowed from Blue’s News. The link of the day is a place called The Guide To Being L33T. You have to go and read it to really get it. Of course the newbies won’t get it. Sorry.

    They Lived Mostly Happily Ever After 10:38 pm-

    I just finished watching the Story Of Us a Rob Reiner movie starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Phiffer. Now the trailer for this flick kind of gave the impression that there was going to be a unhappy ending. Seeing that I know how Hollywood works I expected a 30/70 chance of a bad ending. I got to say that I was actually pulling for the unhappy ending. Why you may ask? I guess I am kind of sick of the always cheerful ending in some movies. To me that mentality just does not seem to be rational.

    To explicate a little further. You take your average guy or gal (or dude and dudette if that is your particular vernacular) most of the time life isn’t a happy ending. Not that a persons life can equal a two hour movie, there is many ups and downs. I just wish that the movies reflected more of a normal house hold. Why is it that in the movie the people are always rich. There jobs are always real cool. In the movie Bruce was a writer. His wife played by the lovely Michelle Phiffer made the crossword puzzles in the papers. To me that does not reflect what might be the target audience of this movie.

    My oldman in his time has been a janitor, a truck driver, and has had lot of other unglamorous jobs. Same goes for my mother. We never lived in real fancy house or went to real fancy restaurants. All in all everything was pretty average. And hey I’m cool with that. I like average. It not as bad as bellow average and it’s not as good as above average. It’s right there in the middle. I would like to see more movie that capture that kind of feeling.

    Now I’m not saying I don’t like a happy ending in movies. Going to the movies is escapism and should definitely give one a chance to escape. Otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of the movie going experience. Here is what I’m proposing. This of course would put more work in it for the people who make the movies, but who cares that’s why they make all that money. I want movies to come in two flavors, a happy ending and then the unhappy ending. So depending on mood a person could watch the ending that they were really in the frame of mind for.

    Take Casablanca for example. There is a flick that has an unhappy ending. Rick lets the love of his life fly off with some asshole politician. And all poor Rick gets is some French guy to be friends with. Bummer. This is where my alternate ending policy would really kick in. I love watching Casablanca when I’m in a bad mood. But how about when I’m especially chipper and want to see a happy ending for poor Bogart? Damn it if it wouldn’t be cool to see the dame get off of the plane to go running into Rick’s arms. Yeah! That would be cool.
