Things to see.

Okay, I used The Houston Chronicle's Custom Comic Page to build my own page of comics I think have "a bit of a twist" in them, if you know what I mean... Okay, that pun sucked. Anyway, the comics on the page are Beetle Baily, Ballard Street, Better Half, Bizzaro, Close To Home, Dilbert, Garfield, Heathcliff, Lockhorns, Mutts, Pardon My Planet, Speed Bump and Strange Brew. You're welcome.

Hmm, I should add that to my sidebar....

My Usual Self-Questionnaire.
What's playing? Collective Soul - Blame
What was the last TV show or movie you watched? I haven't watched tv since yesterday after work, even when I was bored out of my mind last evening.
Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? Not fit to post here, but know that I was thoroughly impressed.
What was the last thing you threw away? $80.00 I gave to my brother.
How am I feeling? Why? I found out it wasn't the pedals on my bike that are bent... it's the crank shafts! So having that in the back of my mind is kind of pissing me off, but otherwise.... I'm doing okay. I'm just letting it slide. For now, but when it gets warm (it's cold today!) it's really gonna bug me cuz I'LL WANNA GO MOUNTAIN BIKING!

After I incoherently signed up for more Bravenet services in a drunken stupor... I'm left with three more services I have no idea what to do with except keep and integrate into my website here. I already have one person in my webring (he fell for it! who's next?) with hopefully more to come. Are you bravenet enough to sign up?

I also just spent the past half hour spreading this bravenet virus around my pages, adding to my sidebar and my two "About" pages here at Twisted. And I keep getting more ideas of what to do... I gotta write some of this down... later all!

Justwaitafreakinminutehere... I wanna thank Spring for linking me =D
I will reciprocate in a more appropriate manner in due time. I promise.

What was the last TV show or movie you watched? The Simpsons.
What was the last thing you complained about? I was at a staff meeting this morning... so... I can't talk about it.
Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? I told a coworker "thanks for reading my mind." She literally took the words right out of my mouth and spewed forth the dragon.
What was the last thing you threw away? Hmm... I dunno.
How am I feeling? Why? Okey dokey smokey, You?

My buddy just told me this... we have had a bunch of bottles of beer already.

This guy in college or university or somewhere, in the US, came up with his thesis for his degree... He wanted to determined exactly what americans knew about canadians. One of the people he asked was one of his school's professors. I think he was a PHD and a bunch of other stuff.

His answer?

"Bad weather, good beer, live in igloos."

I take exception to his last answer, but otherwise it's all good!

These days I'm trying to decide which websites I regularly visit to add to my sidebar. I haven't gone to blografitti, halfbakery or gangsta name generator that much lately... I think I may add a subheading called "Stuff to do" for items like blografitti and gangsta name generator.

Hey.... (Pt. 2)

Well I was right about it being a bad day. I gotta say I'm sorry for taking out some of my bad mood at my nieces. I was more strict with them earlier than I should have been. They had a long day at school too and I'm sure they were exhausted just like I was.

Anyway, my bad mood. I got in trouble today at work for not doing something. I was too busy to do it because I was overloaded with my own work. He didn't do his work completely anyway so I didn't take notice of what he really wanted done. And get this, I got in trouble by the guy who's supposed to fix those kinds of problems. The other side of the fence isn't fun, is it? Big shot.

I hope he doesn't go politicing over this... that's just low. I'll have to defend myself if he does.

{POST EDIT} I got this from Pebbles' blog.

I want everyone who reads this to ask me 3 questions, no more no less.

Ask me anything you want and I will answer.

Then I want you to go to your bloggers, copy and paste this allowing your friends (including myself) to ask you anything. Could be fun!

SUBJECT CHANGE!

I was commenting on a post over at anishaboy and the subject of an Ojibway blogger webring came up... Now... I'm kinda a mix of a few things (ojibway/cree/scottish) and anishaboy made a joke about calling it the O-ring (bad, huh?) I added Cree for OC-ring and then he said we should look for a Cherokee and a Kiowa.

C O C K ring. This guy's funny...

Hmm.

The notion of a native blogger webring is a pretty good idea. But this is the most work I'm gonna do for that idea... I'm too lazy. And I'll probably end up with a buttload of K-Netters anyway.

Here's the lyrics to Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven"
Thanks for not suing me!

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on
'cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?
I'll find my way through night and day
'cause I know I just can't stay here in heaven...

Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees
Time can break your heart, have you begging please...begging please

Beyond the door there's peace I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more tears in heaven...

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you feel the same
If I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on

'cause I know I don't belong here in heaven...


Bent pedals
::: posted by Spook at Sunday, April 25, 2004 | |

I just came from a good bike ride. I journey took me past the Ed Ariano Overpass, Travel Information Centre, Umphreville walking trail, a few road detours, Frog Rapids Bridge and all the way back straight home. I had a nice ride except the walking trail was a bit busy so I decided to take several small detours down roads and up trails I knew about to get back to the walking trail. I was travelling down the walking trail quite fast, coming up behind a couple joggers so I turned off the trail into some some grass and before I could slow down I came to a small washed-out deepened ditch. It couldn't have been more than 40 centimetres wide so I jumped over it with my front tire and *THUD* my rear tire hit the far end of the wash-out. The combination of the impact and my bodyweight bent my pedals. I don't think my cranks are bent, but that may be only wishful thinking.

Hmm... wishful thinking.

I wish I could have taken an experience that was more profound than what I got from my bike ride, but I fear that I may have taken away a twisted semi-romantic view. Something like "as I felt the cold wind from the still-frozen lake weave through my dreadlocks I thought to myself 'my butt is getting sore'" is what I most likely would have got, if I were that sort of person. But what do I know? I'm not that much of a romantic.

My Usual Self-Questionnaire.
What's playing? Lacuna Coil - Cold
What was the last TV show or movie you watched? Bulletproof Monk
What was the last thing you complained about? Bent pedals
Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? "Thank you for the compliment, that's very kind of you." I was flirting with a jogger.
What was the last thing you threw away? I don't remember, but I plan on throwing away my friggin' bent pedals when I get new ones.
How am I feeling? Why? I'm warming up finally... It was a cold ride that seemed to have wind in my face at all times. I guess I just rode fast?

Duct tape forever
::: posted by Spook at Saturday, April 24, 2004 | |

Being a Red Green fan, I feel obligated to add a little duct tape culture to my pages, even if this is a first time. Here goes:

Rule Number One: This is a rule that can get you through life. If it ain't stuck and it's supposed to be, duct tape it.

Fastener Fastener: When repairing anything, place the temporarily removed screws, bolts, nuts and washers on a strip ofduct tape so you don't lose them.

Cruise Control I: Wad up a bunch of duct tape and place it under the gas pedal. A little pressure and you're stylin' low-tech!

Cruise Control II: On the long straight-aways tape the steering wheel to the dash, sit back and relax.

Clean Velcro: Do you know that fuzz that gets stuck on velcro strips? You guessed it: duct tape.

But... if you have duct tape, why would you need velcro?

Recipes:
1. 1 Wheel barrow stocked with a 6-pack + 2 bicycles and riders + 1 umbrella + lots of duct tape = human-powered golf cart
2. Magic marker + duct tape = label maker

Cookout Combo: Duct tape the handles of a spatula and a flyswatter together and you'll have the ultimate in cookout insect control.

Treepod: For those camera group shots while you're all out in the woods, duct tape a camera to a tree.

If you're an amateur film-maker and you're making a blair witch-esque file, duct tape a camcorder to your leg... legpod.

Understated Bumper Sticker: Add a strip of tape to the tail-end of your vehicle and it will speak for itself. No slogans needed.

Prank: Duct tape some large bubble wrap to a friend's car tire (preferably front and/or rear passenger side) and when they drive away, they'll wonder what that noise is... or that someone is shooting at them.

My Usual Self-Questionnaire.
What's playing? Ocean's Eleven. Good movie.
What was the last TV show you watched? Watching it.
What was the last thing you complained about? Cold hands from biking out in this windy weather.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron. Dwight Eisenhower, April 16, 1953

This guy was prez while the world fought the nazis. I wonder what he would have to say while we're fighting the al-Queda? I wonder if he knew what "collateral damage" means to us today? I wonder how pissed off he'd be if nazis flew a couple exploding blimps into the Empire State building back then? We'd see a whole different side of him, that's for sure.

"He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool
- avoid him!
He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep
- waken him!
He who knows not and knows that he knows not wants a beating
- beat him!
But he who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man
- know him."

"Sometimes I simply feel that the whole world is a cigarette
and I'm the only ashtray."

You are Ruby! You give a whole new meaning to the

can be bad -to say the least. You offer your
opinion about everything, even when it's not

"Deer Season: Bragging Rights"

Sitting with my wife in a sorry little country bar with a bunch of sorry big rednecks bragging about their deer-hunting skills.

RN1: "I got me a 10-pointer and a doe this year!"

It goes on ad nauseum. Fuck this.

Me: "My wife here has already bagged three deer this season, and she's gunnin' for more."

My tiny 4'10" wife grabs my arm and tells me to shush. No way.

Me: "She doesn't even bother with a hunting license - she just kills them. Gets away with it, too -- our freezer is bursting with venison."

Rednecks look at her. She weighs about 105 lb. She's starting to get into it.

RN2: "Three deer? What does she use? A rifle? That's illegal!"

Me: "No, she kills them with a dart."

Annie snorts beer out of her nostrils and doubles up. She knows where I'm going.

RN3: "You mean like a blow gun? With that poison ... eh ... curry on it?"

Me: "No. Look out the window! See that Dart out there? The '73 Dodge Dart with the bashed-in front?"

Karate - Karate literally means 'open hand.' It is
the art of those who already have the kind of
self-control and dedication that most athletes
have. It is fast-paced and very tournament
oriented, though not the most competetive
style. You can take it at any age and still
acheive, and you will be treated well as long
as you work hard.

Had a tiny Asian woman for a math prof. my freshman year. We spent a lot of time talking about percentages. She had a thick accent.

"If you flip coin, no matter the times, always you had fifty percent chance to get head."

I muttered to the guy in front of me, "Well, if that thought doesn't pick your day up, I don't know what will."

A cop pulled me over.
I was below the limit, driving properly;
using my turn signals and had no broken lights or anything.
Apparantly he had issues with me doing all that
on the sidewalk.

What was the last TV show you watched? Home Improvement. Tim The Toolman Taylor is funny.
What was the last thing you complained about? Is it 4 o'clock yeeeet? Awww...
Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say? A coworker's daughter whose name I cannot remember at the moment, I was thinking about her a few moments ago too... damn.. what was her name? Anyway, I told her she had nice eyes when she was fishing for a comment about her hair. Then as she was walking away I finally added "nice dreads girl." We looked at each other and traded knowing smiles.
What was the last thing you threw away? Gum wrapper with chewed gum in it.
What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited? CKDR.net, I was checking local news earlier.
How am I feeling? Why? My head hurts, I tighted a dreadlock too much (ow =^( ) and so I had to do something about it... I untangled it, but it was weaved in at the bottom with another smaller dreadlock. So in the end, I had completely untangled two dreadlocks to relieve the pressure of the intense pain I was in. It took about 45 minutes to do it. AND THEN!!!! I turned the loose hair into three brand spankin' new dreadlocks. That took another 25 minutes. Damn, my arms were tired and my scalp is still sore. It will probably continue for another day or so.

I think I need to add more or different questions to my questionnaire. What do you think? I'll tell you what you think: you think that would be a good idea because I usually post links anyway and that more questions, especially offbeat ones would be a good idea and a thought-provoking vehicle.

The Current Mood of The Internet: The current mood of the Internet at www.imood.com
(I have no idea how that will look after I've posted it)

I found that at imood.com [Link] They're mood indicators. It's exhausting thinking about how I feel when I post and could very well replace my "How am I feeling? Why?" question on my usual questionnaire. It should put an added little spin on my posting practices. Gotta keep it interesting!

Hmm... after a little more surfing it doesn't seem like I'll be doing that for every post. Ah screw it, I'm not gonna do it.

Right now Dave is: The current mood of dahvied at www.imood.com

I'll just leave that there, heh-heh. When I was trying out the service I put in "curious" then after I figured everything out and realised it wasn't what I wanted, I put the above emoticon in. Another idea crushed. Oh well, the questions are still something to think about and the mood of The Internet is still a nice lil gadget.
