So apparently according to the auto-renewal ding on my credit card via godaddy...this here site or some semblance of it is 1 year old.

What can I say...my little boyz all growns up....yada yada.

Now back to regularly scheduled complaining.

Dear Diary:

"Today my Fibromyalgia really flaired up...."
it really got in the way of my liberal boomer socio-economic stereotypes. I wasn't able to paint in my gigantic studio, turning into the whole foods market in my prius was really tough on my joints....I could hardly even write my checks to the Barack Obama!

No offense to all the folks who are actually afflicted with this condition, but that f*ckin Lyrica commercial is a real disservice to them. What do I have to do to get a freakin flying humanoid insect voiced by an overly stereotypical spanish person?

Sometimes the smallest things can brighten your day: today it was this adwords ad resting neatly above my spam inbox. Might have been there always but today I noticed it and it almost brought a tear to my eye!

Today I got a unsolicited piece of direct mail today from an Internet Corportaion Listing Service. My wife checks the snail mail and she yelled out "honey you got a bill for your website".....a bill whaaa??? I thought godaddy never sends physical mail. My senses were peaked, keenly I opened up the envelope to a rather "bill-like" letter...the front looked like an invoice for $35.00. The line item: Annual Listing (march 15th, 2008- march 15th, 2008)

"Please make checks payable to the Internet Corporation Listing Service....Do not send cash"

Who is this ICLS...are they the new sheriff of the webernet; sent to quell the rebellion? Sadly no, they are simply a somewhat unethical business that charges you $35.00 for submitting your domain or website on "14 Major" Search Engines.

Folks, here's a little tip: submitting your website on the Search Engines is free....free as in beer.

Trend setting Tots!
WTF???

The only trend setting tots that I know about are the truffle oil ones at Bulldog N.E.

Meta- blog about your blogging techinique (I know...lame and trite)

A new site I built to promote my brother and his wifes art. They are both wicked good artists, he has been drawing, robots and monsters for as long as I can remember. He is in the process of having some of his favorites screen printed up on high quality T-shirts at a local joint, eventually you'll be able to buy them over there in addition to limited edition reproductions and original art from both of them.

Have a look, its pretty cool if I do say so myself. I just wanted to let you all know that it would be really kickass if you checked it out and if you want to be like the cool kids, get on board.

Best Polka Album
(Vocal or Instrumental.)

* Polka's Revenge
Brave Combo
[DenTone]

* Bulletproof Polkas
John Gora & Gorale
[Sunshine Diversified Ent.]

* Polka Freak Out
Bubba Hernandez & Alex Meixner
[Moon Zero Bird Records]

* Dueling Polkas
Walter Ostanek And His Band & Brian Sklar And The Western
[Sunshine (Polkamania)]

* Come Share The Wine
Jimmy Sturr And His Orchestra
[Rounder]

Sadly I was rooting for Polka Freak Out...that whole Meixner family can Polka like nobodys business.

On a positive note: The Distant Future from the Conchords won the best comedy album....so we got that going for us....which is nice.

It sort of says:
"Here, I don't care enough about you to know what would actually make you happy....does this animatronic stuffed animal do it?
Yeah I didn't think so either, but it was worth a shot."

Why not throw in some chocolates, a scented candle and some bath salts while your at it.

Pirates were so hot last year.

Obviously pirates are still fairly strong but look at the uptick in Vikings, they are set to make a big push.

With the coming arrival of Segas "Battle of Asgaard" the Vikings time is now. Soon the horde will be arriving and all the weasely little pirates will be screaming for parlay.

I know about the national talk like a pirate day and have heard of pirate bar crawls. Are Viking drinking explorations the next big thing in themed binges?

I hate Super Tuesday

Can you hear the sarcasm in my voice. F*ckin politics, I don't give two shits, whats the difference anyways. I am sad to admit that I would trade this polito-news bullshit for shit ass reality TV anyday.

Oh well at least its good for some chart/map porn god knows I can't get enough of that lately.
