what would ever make you think of that.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Yikes. Your friend needs to take better care of her pets. :?

Yeesh. To me, letting that happen is almost the equivalent of actively abusing a pet.

So net still out. I'll have to go back and read what I missed after I get the net back. I'm afraid if I do I'll see some harry guy in NYC with shorts that show his butt line or something. Who would ever post such a thing?

So Tuesday an interesting opportunity opened up for me. I qualify for an internship at the Royal Shakespear Academy in london England working on the Globe theatre. Really awesome right?! Wrong... I don't have the five grand needed. :( shot down.

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Went to kindergarten orientation for my daughter last night. I can't imagine whatever happened so quickly to the little peanut I held in the hospital, who I could hold in the crook of my arm and who could sleep comfortably on my upper torso with room to spare.

Sorry to sound maudlin, but those of you with kids will understand me perfectly.

But yeah, about her going to London area, remember, she's shy, and doesn't like alcohol, basically, Big Ben is where she wants to go... :wink:


And I feel like crap today, I think too much, I swear, if I didn't think about things I would be a perfectly happy person, but then I go and think about my life, and realize it sucks... :bangwall:
Well my name is Ben and I work in London, if that's any help? :)

What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I know how you feel man, my daughter started grade one yesterday. Her mom got her hair all straightened for her, looked like a little lady.

That's what happens when you feed them. Unfortunately if you don't . . .

Yeah, for orientation mine had to wear a particular dress, do her her just so, even put on some stuff from her Sleeping BeuatyTM make-up kit. She then proceeded to go to orientation then tell me about all the boys in her class. I suppose I have about 8 or 9 years to check into New Jersey's handgun licensing laws.

Well the last few days have been kind of bleh all around. My fiance's grandma died on Sunday, very suddenly, had a heart attack out of nowhere. She was 81 and in decent health, her only real problem was her eye sight. She was very much the archtype of the kindly old lady. Accepted me as family right away, got me a christmas present even though I'd only been dating her grandaughter a few months at the time. She was always so nice to me, and to everyone.

She's gone to rest now. She was lucky though, she went quickly with little pain, but she lasted long enough for the immediate family to get to the hosptial and say their good-byes.










































...and I'm sure I just flunked my Trig test the other day. Doesn't quite measure up to other events, but it doesn't help anything.
