It looks like myspace is winning this war.

MSO

2006-07-12T01:50:14Z

If anyone has MSOffice 2003 installed and only uses it on one computer I would like to request being the second 'puter.

Or I am looking for an old version of MSOffice so I can use my upgrade.

on beauty

2006-07-11T17:04:47Z

This might seem like a strange post... but what the heck..

There is something magical about attractive women. Women of beauty do something to the men who behold them. Not even neccessary to have a relationship with those you see or even speak to them. Women have an amazing amount of power over men. Indeed kindoms have been built and destroyed for beautiful women.

Over the past week or so i have seen a few remarkably comely women.
Maybe its because I am getting older or something that hieghtens my appreciation... maybe Im just more of a pig than I used to be.
I think being in a secure, loving relationship adds to something like what i have been feeling about this. I don't need to chase these women, or feel intimidated about speaking with them.

I am by no means a great catch.. or a remarkably handsome guy by any stretch of the imagination. i have no crate to stand on to judge beauty. But I know what makes my breathe shallow... what appeals to me personally.

i would like to thank all the lovely people for revealing or hiding with tantalization what they have in store. Even people not meeting the social standard of beauty.... have the same affect.

What exactly is it inside of a human being that causes that..... feeling... somewhere between the heart, brain and groin when they see another that appeals to them? What causes that?
hrmm..

PS3

2006-07-10T16:17:33Z

It looks like PS3 will release November 17 2006

I need to start saving now!

this week

2006-07-07T18:56:54Z

this has been such a good week. so many wonderful and beautiful friends have emerged from the woodworks to make contact with me.

Finances are awful... but the more important things are good. Next week a 5 days weekend!

a short thought on porn

2006-07-06T15:48:44Z

I was just scrolling through one of my usual naughty products ordering sites. (Gotta keep the little woman's toes curled)

There were a few comments on a particular movie from some guys... Im assuming Metro-sexual-married types about the plot line, and story line in a porn. Let me clue some folks in to the truth of men and porn.
We DON'T LIKE the story lines! We don't want theplot, we want the theme..... like school girls, like pirates, like clown aliens..... we don't want the story...

Some men say they want the story, you know why? They want the women they are talking to or married to to watch Porn of some type! If they have to endure a story line to reach that goal... then so be it. They are the same guys who say they buy hustler for the articles.

Some guys are lucky, myself included.... have a lady that admits the truth... If your going to watch porn.... Git R Done! and don't bother with story lines... thats what regular movies are for. porn is for watching folks humping... or whatever the fetish or theme is.

So ladies.... next time your guy says bleh.. porn... theres no story line or plot! He is either turning gay, or he wants to have sex with you... preferably watching a porn in the background to get things started.

There is one exception....

Watching porn at a party. This is where you want funny porn. porn with such outlandish themes that its kind of like watching a cartoon. This is where some story line is marginally ok because it gives you time to mix drinks and make farting noises.

;) Keepin' it real

Did anyone ever have one of those friends that is just so..... delicious that it makes you shiver when you look at them.
heh... pretty cool ya?

maybe, maybe not.... but even so, I am so happy to have my friends, even if the list is short.

my dads PC

2006-06-26T19:06:46Z

Some time ago my dad bought himself a PC. Or his wife got one for him. I still don't think he knows why.

I am not sure I have ever seen such a waste of technology. He won't buy Inet access.... too much money, and he doesn't really understand its uses. His computer hangs out in the corner, occasionally playing some CD's I burn for hiim or he buys. I think there is one Cabelas big game hunter game on there he plays on a rare occasion. And scrolling screen saver pix of my daughter.

Thats all the computer does.
It has a pretty easy life that old PC.....

I wish I had more time to show him all that could be done with it... but I just don't.

Maybe some video professor CD's are in order for the old man for X-mas.

When it comes to mechanical enginuity he is a genius. Bird and other animal behavior.... outstanding! Farming technology.... he's got it down. How to grow anything at all!
How to turn a mower reel... who knows how to do that? My dad...

give him a computer or video game... and his eyes kind of glaze over. They focus on my daughter playing them and not at all whats happening on the screen.
*sigh*

a great guy.. but a techno dummy

hehehe

finding the income streams

2006-06-23T17:42:31Z

Finding effective income streams without big investment is tough.

Maybe it isn't for those better educated... I don't know what to do.

Now that the minimum order on www.fly-fishing-flies.com is $200 there are no orders. The Flea Market was fun and made some $$ but not really a lot, its only a summer event.... well there is the race track in the winter, but not really something to support oneself with.

*sigh*

i don't know if i need a better education or what.

east bound and down

2006-06-23T17:08:33Z

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'
Ah we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I'm eastbound, just watch old Bandit run

Keep your foot hard on the pedal
Son, never mind them brakes
Let it all hang out cause we got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta
and there's beer in Texarkana
We'll bring it back no matter what it takes

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'
Ah we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I'm eastbound, just watch old Bandit run

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'
Ah we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there

Old Smokey's got them ears on
He's hot on your trail
And he ain't gonna rest 'til you're in jail
So you've got to dodge him, you've got to duck him
You gotta keep that diesel truckin'
Just put that hammer down and give it hell

Eastbound and down, loaded up and truckin'
Ah we gonna do what they say can't be done
We've got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I'm eastbound, just watch old Bandit run

just say it

2006-06-20T02:28:01Z

Just saying the word SEX... sounds good.

its one of those words that just sounds like it should... a little like what it is. (As a verb)

but when one says... my sex is male. or female. It doesn'tring the same way.

sellin an a fishin'

2006-06-17T02:11:25Z

Tonight I packed up most of the shop... tomorrow I am heading to the cascades flea market to see how I do.

i need to make some money off all this fishin' stuff hanging around.

hit hit hit

2006-06-07T13:49:22Z

Im coming up to 1,000 hits pers day on the fly-fishing-flies.com web site.

The turn over is a bit low though. 80+ unique visitors per day is not too shabby. i now need to explore ways to turn those clicks to customers.

potential good news

2006-06-06T01:36:27Z

Amazon has extended a personal invitation for fly-fishing-flies to sell its products on Amazon.com.

Apparently when Amazon has a staff extend an invite to you its a different deal than when you just sign up for a $30/mo account to sell stuff on their website.
Could be good....maybe

hitty hits

2006-05-26T03:56:21Z

April saw over 24,000 hits to the site and May will exceed that.

Unique Visitors was 1333 and this month will barely peek over that. I am not too happy with Pinetree networks removal of News Servers or their down-time of their news server. This was where I saw a lot of increase traffic and customers.

Marketing

2006-05-21T23:08:09Z

i need an internet marketing person or company that isn't crap. Actually I don't care what type of Marketing..... Or how it works.

I need customers perousing the site and making purchases. I don't know how to make this happen. the budget is small but does exist. I don't know where to look for legit marketing. I don't want to get stuck paying for crap hits that probably aren't even real.

oh my

2006-05-21T03:06:43Z

This cant be good

blood and guts

2006-05-11T13:26:20Z

Over this past week Tonya has brought over SawII and Hostel. Nothing like good horor/gore suspense when your hanging out with your friends.

It seems that www.fly-fishing-flies.com is doing ok

fatigue

2006-05-10T01:44:55Z

I'm not really sure how to beat this but i reagularly find myself in such a state of exhaustion or fatigue in the evenings. I usually end up sleeping for an hour or more after I eat. Try as hard as I can, I just can't seem to force myself into getting up and funtioning until I get a certain amount of rest first.

I am going to give another shot at cutting down or out caffeine and drinking more water. I am hoping that the addition of more water will also help my knees and joints.
*ugh* I'm not sure if theres something wrong or if this is just part of getting old.

auction

2006-05-03T01:17:19Z

I want to find an auction house here in Maine... that doesn't just sell antiques

I dont know where to start.

my hunny

2006-05-02T20:38:52Z

i would like to just pour on how terrific life is with Colleen.

She plays, videos games, likes pron, likes to wear corsetry, Sci-Fi, tall boots, and other naughty things.
Helps lust after hotties and wouldn't mind inviting them to join in our budoir with appropriate (or inappropriate) toys and activities.

She is trustworthy, and has freshly bleached and dyed red hair... sweet!

I really dont know what more I could want... outside of some righteous hottie to join us in our exploits... *snicker*

We bought a bowflex this week! Now we will be hot ourselves!

trying again

2006-04-28T23:21:01Z

Tonight we bought.. or financed a Bowflex....

I hope we can stick with this. Both of us need to buff up a little
