Cutest Damn Kids in the World

One of my favourite things to do with my kids is just watch them play with their toys. It's so cool to see how they are developing their imagination. You can see that they have little stories and scenarios in their head when they are playing wiu their toys. Lucas drives his toy cars around like they're in a race. Sometimes the crash or go flying but his sound effects and facial expressions are adorable. Amelia will take a stuffed animal or doll and play mommy with it. Today she had a doll wrapped up in a towel. Then she took it to the bathroom, sat it on the toilet and then brought it back and pretended to wash it and wrap it in a towel. The whole time she's talking about what she's doing. "wash wash wash. It's cold! Put your blanket on!". Damn my kids are cute.

You Can't Handle the Truth

If I get an email and then the sender tries to recall it, I read the email anyway and then I open the recall so I'm being all responsible and shit.

Try it Again

I was always interested in having my own website. My ISP even provides webspace and a few years ago I even tried it out for a bit. It was a bit tedious to make web pages and upload them and manage it all the time so I deleted all the stuff and gave up. Now don't get me wrong, I'm no quitter - I refuse to completely quit smoking, right? I'm just looking for an easier way to manage a website. Now, in 2009, I think I have my solution: iWeb. So simple, so pretty. I know, no guy should ever use the word "pretty" unless he's trying to make out with someone, but seriously, iWeb makes pretty pages. Nothing fantastic/incredible/awesome/innovative, but that might be because I don't know what I'm doing yet. I just need the space to post some pictures so it'll never be super-fancy. Check it out.

Too Bad Cuz I Think I Had a Chance

I just have to say that I am 35 years old and I have a crush on Taylor Swift. She's just so damn cute. Too young though. She falls outside the standard "half your age plus 7" rule.

The Great Debate

I'm a geek. I won't go so far as to say I'm a nerd because I don't know enough about nerdy things to be a nerd but I like nerdy things so I'm a geek. Anyway, one of the things I love is my computer. I really love my iMac but I've used Windows for years. The nice thing about Windows is that you can use just about any kind of hardware and there are millions of different little apps you can download over the net (some are bad so don't think it's a good idea to install every pop-up). It's pretty customizable and let's you have quite a bit of control over your computer. The bad thing about Windows is that it tries to support all kinds of hardware and there are millions of different little apps that you can download over the net. This increases the potential for problems and instability and bugginess. Since Windows is great for gaming and a Windows PC is pretty cheap, despite it's downfalls, it's still a good option.

The funny thing about Apple is that all the things we like about Windows PCs aren't there in a Mac. You're stuck with the hardware they give you, not a lot of software (especially games), and it's expensive. However, all these restrictions make for a very stable computer that works like a dream. I like their designs as well. It may not be for everyone, but I like the look of their stuff. What's it worth to you to have a sweet-looking computer that has very few problems?

Happy Halloween

Last night was a perfect night for Halloween. Clear skies, warm weather, scary H1N1 atmosphere... what more could you ask for? Anyway, we didn't end up taking the kids door-to-door because they still don't get it. That's fine with me, I'm a pretty lazy person anyway. The twins were pretty damn cute in their recycled Star Wars costumes. Last night was the very first time ever that I've worn face paint/makeup for halloween. I usually hate having stuff on my face like that.

There Are No Ads

You know what I just found out? I can make money off this blog. Not really off the content of the blog, but basically I can have ads added to my page and when you click on it, I get paid. There's more to it than that but that's kinda what it's about. Sounds great. Sign me up. Click on the ads.

I'm not going to sign up for this. Don't look for ads. I'm not getting paid. I'm just here for my fans.

Probably. Most Likely. For Sure.

A friend of mine told me about this research that showed white people are more reluctant to talk about the differences in people's cultural norms for fear that they may be labelled as racist. People of a visible minority, however, were far more likely to talk about it without that fear. I wouldn't be surprised if this also applied to other forms of prejudism and discrimination. Just saying...

Can't Sleep

There are very few nights when I lay in bed with my eyes wide open. Usually, by the time my head hits the pillow, I'm out for the night within 10 minutes. Tonight, I was laying in bed for over an hour and not once did I even feel the slightest hint of sleep. So I got up and here I am, writing about how I can't sleep. The funny part is that you're reading it.
