1st call 1 case of beer (sam adams) (12 pack bottles)

2nd call 1 case of beer (guiness) (12 pack bottles)

3rd call 2 shots of whiskey a gun and a bullet.

4th call… your on your own.

The holidays are on us once again yes it’s that time of year again in the words of Heidi “To buy crap that no one needs and get crap you don’t want” Well spoken Heidi, as for me this time of year brings out my Politely Correct side… Every time I see a “Happy Holidays” it’s everything I can do to keep my self from going “HAPPY FUCKING HANUKKAH… Prick” Yes I know I’m not Jewish… Yes I know I shouldn’t get worked up about it… And honestly I don’t get that worked up about it. Just enough to elevate my blood pressure slightly more then it already is.

Normally I’m the first to bash being politically correct… and if you’ve been around me for any length time you will know that I tend to really not care about being P.C… There is just something about the holidays that brings it all out of me. In one giant rush. I can’t explain it… it’s almost like a release for me.

I could really have some fun with this if I were atheist. Ohh the possibilities.

Next time on chatting with Tom the religious right… and not just Christians either…

Dammit…. I picked up EVE again…. after I dropped it a month ago… dammit dammit dammit.

Oh I must be bored… two nights in a row… and wouldn’t you know it all about the same damn thing too!

Aren’t you lucky… then again your the one reading this unless you happen to be one of those “Blogspot” surfers who just happen to hit the “next blog button” (if you have not hit the next blog button you will find it at the upper right of your browser and your really should hit it)

Yeah I broke out farcry tonight…. I’m so out of that game right now it’s not even funny… totally diffrent in style you need to have for Doom3. I can only guess that Half-Life will be just as diffrent once I get around to picking it up. Just not real hip on the concept of steam at the moment. I don’t know… something about the possiblity of not being able to play the game in 5 years does not appeal to me.

And of course now your asking when was the last time you played a game that was more then 5 years old? Simple last week I broke out the N64 and went to town. Goldeneye still rocks.

Man it is getting cold in hell… no hell has not frozen over but I had 2 thoughts this morning going to my car….

1. it’s fucking cold

2. It’s cold as fuck

Yes alot of content in my thought process don’t you know.

I really do like blogging like this way more then the old way… I just need to get back to calling it everything but blogging but really what is it?

I don’t know….

Damn

Hi my name is Tom, (name not changed to incriminate the guilty)

and I’m additicated to blogging.

Not just reading other peoples musing or what ever is going on in their lives, but also the whole aspect of creating and writing.

It all started about 4 years ago when I was in college. I was expermenting with various things (among them LINUX and AMD processors) and I started blogging. At first it wasn’t even called blogging it was something else. Then little by little I started to reveal little parts of myself to the world. First it was everynight and I burned out then about once a week and then about once a month or so. Finally I fell into a pattern of about once a week blogging sometimes more very rarely less though. Then slowly over the course of the years I watched as other friends did their blogging. Pretty soon we started to keep up with each other through our blogs and before long before you went over to someone’s house you had to check and make sure they hadn’t updated their blog.

I now find myself reading blogs daily. Whether it be from my friends to the latest talking head on CNN. Blogging is a huge part of my daily routine, I have stopped watching the news I now read all the news I want on the internet. I don’t watch TV I use the computer as my main means of entertainment whether it be a blog or a game. Something about watching BLING BLING IN 2004 on VH-1 just really doesn’t appeal to me.

So again my name is Tom and I’m a blogger for better or worse I’m out here.

Playing Doom3 tonight (good game by the way if you get a chance pick it up and play it… if nothing else it will scare the living daylights out of you 4 or 5 hundred times)

I noticed a few things.

1. Even in a state of total and utter disaster all OSHA laws are obyed on mars.

2. The ammount of ammo you have to use is directly related to how much you waste when you are shooting at enemies.

3. Could it have killed someone to put locks on all of these closetes?

Say the above titel in the vein of Pauly Shore’s the “Weazel” and then you will know how I feel right now.

I have never done drugs…. but I swear I only ever have this light headed and sleepy feeling after Thankgiving and Christmas…. whats more I have the munchies… I know I’m full my stomach feels full. But yet I still eat… just snacking really. Yeah you got to love that Tryptophan high..

As I’m watching TV last night I see a comercial for the new mustang… and the comercial is the Mustang revving it’s engine to about the national anthem. They are showing shots of the interior and the outside. And I actually think to myself.. I would be so patriotic if I bought that car today. Then I snapped back to reality after I took a hit of my super cynical meds. That made me feel better about me but not so great about the car.

So I’m drinking a Guiness and I actually feel physically full from drinking it. It’s really sad. Again with the munchies.

It’s Thanksgiving and everyone and their brother is giving thanks in the their online journal thingies about various and assorted things. I now would like to present to you a partial selection from 1999. This list is entitled the “Hate List” and was done by one B. Hudson. I like to trot this out about once a year or so and just to remind everyone. You can be pissed off, but no one is as pissed off as Bruce.

Now for your reading pleasure… “The Hate List”

That is just the first two pages… it goes on for another 5 pages like that. I don’t want to make everyone to terribly depressed.

Ok all happy Thankgiving and may the “Shwartz” TM be with you tommrow if you are actually going to try and do some shopping.

Woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow on the ground… that was a nice suprise. But I ordered the snow for the week before christmas not the week of thanksgiving. Man I tell you what the people responsible for snow have no concept of a proper delviery time frame these days.

So you know your a geek when…

Your correct someone about how to count… you always start with ZERO not one….

ya know it was cooler in person you just had to have been there.

Enterprise… when did this show actually become watchable? It’s not TNG good by no means… but it is watchable. Actually it’s better then V’yger… not as good as DS9 but it is trying to get to that level.

I gave up Coke (at home) almost a year ago… Do I feel better? No not really… Have I lost weight? No (I replaced coke with BEER!)…. So why not drink coke… simple my caffiene intake is now in half and I’m not as high strung anymore… I use the term high strun with great relativity… compared to a few people at work I still have the speed of a hummingbird and sometimes the mentality of one too.. I need to drink more beer.

/getBEER!

/getBEER!/drink.bin

That right there folks was an attempt at geek humor if you don’t get it don’t worry neither do I.

I am drinking a beer though.

So I’m really liking this blogger thing and I’m serioursly considering on shuttering the other site and going to just this… I don’t know though part of me likes have the anal-retentavie control that I have over the other site. I don’t know it’s a thought and this is much easier for me then the other site…. PLUS I can email blogger to a special super-secret address that only I know (well me and whatever sysadmin looks at my account) For some reason this just seems a bit more cathartic…. much like the orginal semi-journal did way back in 2000… shit I’ve been doing this for 4 years…

/digs up old post…

First post is dated DEC 1, 2000 damn just under two weeks to the semi-journal’s 4th birthday. This was supposed to be a one year experiment. I think it’s safe to say that I have been a bit lax in my cutting off everything.

thinks of everything that has changed in 4 years.

Damn… graduated school, moved from flag, started my career, bought a house, achieved some measure of personal peace after putting the demon known as emily out of my life.

ya know I think I’m going to shutter the other sight… the last post will be Dec 1, 2004 (maybe (hey it’s my site I can do whatever I damn well please)) I enjoy this knowing that 2 (well soon to be a 4 as I send a email to a few people) I don’t like knowing that anyone in my little world can stumble onto my piece of the internet. I like this it’s just the people I want to see it… for better and worse… thick and thin… coke and beer… Star Wars Galaxies and Jump to light speed.

This is me.
