Guess I forgot to unlock comments.. hehe.. sorry about that. Commenting is enabled once again, so if you got anything to say, um, say it, or something…

Hey.. remember me? Yeah I’m the guy that started A Random Act of Blogging a little more than 3 years ago. Guess what, I’m still alive.

Looks like I haven’t posted in a while, I guess I had lost interest, not sure. I’m not making any promises, but I think I may start pushing this thing along again. First thing on tap. I’m gonna have to redesign. Yup.. this theme has served me well for over a year.. time to scrap it and start anew.

Got any ideas? I don’t, guess I better put on my thinking cap. Stay tuned, you never know what might happen.

Lookie at my new toy. I finally decided to join the rest of society and get an mp3 player. I ended up with this beauty. So far I’ve loaded about a gigabyte worth of music on it and am having a good time with it. My only complaint so far.. is those stupid “ear-bud” headphones everything is coming with these days. I mean really.. how are you supposed to keep those things in your ears. So now I need to go out and get some headphones that will work for me.

Looks like the big IM networks are starting to realize that one IM to rule them all is not going to work and cooperation is going to have to prevail. Its about time.

Now hold your pants on. I don’t want there to be any accidents. After three months (or so) of not posting, I’m throwing something up here. I really do intend on trying to start posting again, but I haven’t been inspired yet. But for now, enjoy the Name Game:

Your Spy Name: Middle name and current street name
Daniel Ridgemont
Your Movie Star Name: Grandfather/grandmother on your mom’s side, your favorite candy
Richard Butterfinger

Don IceCream (hmm.. not convinced of this one)

Apparently I’m upsetting people by not posting. What is better.. to post junk.. or not post at all. I’m sure the jury is still out on that one. But at least I now have something on here newer than January.

Honestly I just haven’t been motivated. But I guess rambling on here is better than dead air right?

!—- Begin Rambling —–
Ok, so it is Spring Break time. Looks like so far the “honey-do” list has the following:

1. Clean garage
2. Paint family room
3. Refinish hot tub (not likely to get accomplished)
4. Clean moss off of roof

Really its not too bad yet. The problem is we’re going to be gone for 4 days of the 7 Spring Break, so we’ll see how successful I am at getting it all done.

Boy its hot in the office today. I’m not looking forward to a Spring/Summer of this. It would be nice if the air conditioning worked.

!—- End Rambling —-

Have a nice day.

1. Stop giving me that pop-up ad for Classmates.com! There’s a reason you don’t talk to people for 25 years. Because you don’t particularly like them! Besides, I already know what the captain of the football team is doing these days: mowing my lawn.
2. Don’t eat anything that’s served to you out a window unless you’re a seagull. People are acting all shocked that a human finger was found in a bowl of Wendy’s chili. Hey, it cost less than a dollar. What did you expect it to contain? Trout? Luckily, it was only a finger! If it was a whole hand, Congress would have voted to keep it alive.
3. Stop saying that teenage boys who have sex with their hot, blonde teachers are permanently damaged. I have a better description for these kids: lucky bast! ards.
4. If you need to shave and you still collect baseball cards, you’re gay. If you’re a kid, the cards are keepsakes of your idols. If you’re a grown man, they’re pictures of men.
5. New Rule: Ladies, leave your eyebrows alone. Here’s how much men care about your eyebrows: do you have two of them? Okay, we’re done. New Rule: There’s no such thing as flavored water. There’s a whole aisle of this crap at the supermarket, water, but without that watery taste.
6. Sorry, but flavored water is called a soft drink. You want flavored water? Pour some scotch over ice and let it melt. That’s your flavored water.
7. Stop f***ing with old people. Target is introducing a redesigned pill bottle that’s square, with a bigger label. And the top is now the bottom. And by the time grandpa figures out how to open it, his ass will be in the morgue. Congratulations, Target, you just solved the Social Security crisis.
8. The more complicated the Starbucks order, the bigger the asshole. If you walk into a Starbucks and order a “decaf grande half-soy, half-low fat, iced vanilla, double-shot, gingerbread cappuccino, extra dry, light ice, with one Sweet-n’-Low and one NutraSweet,” ooh, you’re a huge azzhole.
9. I’m not the cashier! By the time I look up from sliding my card, entering my PIN number, pressing “Enter,” verifying the amount, deciding, no, I don’t want cash back, and pressing “Enter” again, the kid who is supposed to be ringing me up is standing there eating my Almond Joy. Paper, plastic? I don’t have time for that. I’ve just been called to do a cleanup on Aisle Nine!
10. Just because your tattoo has Chinese characters in it doesn’t make you spiritual. It’s right above the crack of your ass. And it translates to “beef with broccoli.” The last time you did anything spiritual, you were praying to God you weren’t pregnant. You’re not spiritual. You’re just high.
11. Competitive eating isn’t a sport. It’s one of the seven deadly sins. ESPN recently televised the US Open of Competitive Eating, because watching those athletes at the poker table was just too damned exciting. What’s next, competitive farting? Oh wait. They’re already doing that. It’s called “The Howard Stern Show.”
12. I don’t need a bigger mega M&M. If I’m extra hungry for M&Ms, I’ll go nuts and eat two.
13. If you’re going to insist on making movies based on crappy, old television shows, then you have to give everyone in the Cineplex a remote so we can see what’s playing on the other screens. Let’s remember the reason something was a television show in the first place is the idea wasn’t good enough to be a movie.
14. No more gift registries. You know, it used to be just for weddings. Now it’s for babies and new homes and graduations from rehab.Picking up the stuff you want and having other people buy it for you isn’t gift giving, it’s the white people version of looting.
15. No more bathroom attendants. After I zip up, some guy is offering me a towel and a mint like I just had sex with George Michael. I can’t even tell if he’s supposed to be there, or just some freak with a fetish. I don’t want to be on your web cam, dude. I just want to wash my hands.
16. When I ask how old your toddler is, I don’t need to know in months. “27 Months.” “He’s two,” will do just fine. He’s not a cheese. And I didn’t care in the first place.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone before Christmas hits. I know I have been around much in the past month or so, maybe the new year will bring a change (maybe not). If you don’t hear from me before that new year arrives Happy New Year also.

Wow has it really been that long since I posted last. Sorry about that. I’ve been so busy keeping up with a forum that I run. We had an explosion of traffic when the game it is based on added us to their fans page. So, needless to say, I’ve been a little pre-occupied with that. Well, I will make my best attempt to not continue to ignore this site, which I’m thinking needs a little re-design.

I’ve had this design for a while now and I think its time for something different. I don’t really have anything in mind though, I guess its time to start doing a little sketching to see what I can come up with.
