Well, got up this mornin' for work, 5:30, get in the shower, it works for about 3 minutes. Stops working.

Go out to the pumphouse, Full of water up to the top. :^(

Once the hour is semi decent, Im gonna call my plumber father in law, but Im pretty sure Im going to have to buy another pump, set that bad boy up outside the house and pump the water out of it...I really dont see any other solution.

Sigh.

2009-03-21T08:45:00.000-07:00

check this out:

Magic Pen 2

I think its fun.

2009-02-24T13:44:00.000-08:00

Well,

I dont update enough. I know.

I know because I rolled my car the other day, and you guys havent even heard.

It was Saturday.

I was driving to work 6:10 am. Doing about 50 in a 55 because it had snowed the night before and I thought I was going slow enough.

man was I wrong.

I started to kinda drift to the center and so I corrected to the right, only I guess too far because I started to slide on snow and it looked like I was going off the road.

I pulled it out of that and then I was pointing in the exact opposite direction, but the car keeps going down the highway sideways like I hadnt done anything at all. I was still sliding on snow.

Then came a slight bend in the road. I hit the plough line going sideways and the car left the ground, it landed on the top once and then it flipped again back onto the tires and stopped there. Somehow in the whole exchange the drivers side window got smashed. I assume when the roof hit the ground. I unbuckled my seat belt and fumbled with the door handle and couldnt work it. I climbed out of the smashed window. Led Zepplin's Houses of the Holy was on the radio(I only can pick up a crappy classic rock station where I live).

I had a few minor cuts on my hands from the drivers side window breaking and my neck hurt like I was on rollercoasters all day but otherwise I seemed ok.

hows that for news?

Delirium of Disorder

Delirium of Disorder
Life is the sieve through which my anarchy strains,
Resolving itself into works.
Chaos is the score upon which reality is written,
The timeless, swirling gyroscopic horde.

Delirium

Delirium

of disorder

Yeah! I am just an atom in an ectoplasmic sea
Without direction or a reason to exist.
The anechoic nebula rotating in my brain
Is persuading me, contritely, to persist.

Delirium of disorder

Hi guys.

I started a new job yesterday.

Seems pretty laid back and the pay is nice.

Not really anything to say.

Have a great day!

2009-01-16T10:09:00.001-08:00

well, all I got is bad news.

hopefully will have some good news soon.

I know I need it.

Hey Leslie

2008-11-05T18:15:00.001-08:00

Butchie is apparently going to die, if I dont update.

Im just not very enthused.

2008-10-20T11:17:00.000-07:00

Yeah, Im still alive over here.

Still sick tho, with a big kink in my neck to boot.

Its really bringing me down.

I have to go do fish water changes and tackle some yardwork before the snow flies.

Hope everyone else s well.

2008-10-15T09:36:00.001-07:00

Well, Im even sicker now than I was before.

Hopefully its darkest before the dawn.

Have some computer work scheduled for 2morrow night.

UGHUGHGUHGUHGUHGUHGUH

2008-10-13T08:30:00.000-07:00

I think I have a cold.

Im abnorally tired, sore throat and stuffy nose.

I watched that "The Ruins" Movie, it was very slow and boring, I came away from it thinking it bit off little shop of horrors.

2008-10-10T11:16:00.000-07:00

nothing interesting to report.

Now on with the non interesting stuff:

Fish water changes are done.

I had a ham sandwich.

and its bacon cheeseburgers for dinner.

Also, my medication was halfed.

woo hoo!

2008-10-09T16:41:00.002-07:00

I posted but blogger errored out.

It was about fattening up chipmunks I have in my back yard.

I need to do fish water change now.

2008-10-07T12:28:00.000-07:00

Well, I spent the morning LOSING magic games to my good friend and X neighbor Jake, I really should quit playing with that guy. I always lose, although last time we played I trounced him so I shouldnt feel so bad about it.

Also I had a dead fish this morning, and by dead I mean swimming upside down and looking like it was about to die.

I pulled it out and put it in the garbage, The story might have been different if it was one of my more favorite ones. But it was just a black neon tetra. Nothing special. I think my one Chinese algae eater mighta hit it in its sleep and made it go all haywire, another incident like this and he'll be going the way of the toilet bowl.

Anyway, have a great day.

2008-10-06T08:58:00.000-07:00

Tonight Im having buttermilk pancakes and suasage.

Ill have to do alittle grocery shopping and maybe Ill buy some peaches for fruit on the side.

It was sweet.

2008-10-03T12:12:00.001-07:00

OK, Im back now, internet was down for a week or so while I moved.

2008-09-24T07:18:00.000-07:00

2008-09-23T12:18:00.000-07:00

Trying to get all the torrenting I can get done in the last few days before computers and internet get moved out to the new place. Im going to take a huge speed hit 10 mbit to 1.5 mbit. UGH! Still halfway decent, I was afraid Id have to use dial up, but appearently that crappy speed dsl is availble, supposedly in 90 to 180 days 7 mbit will be availible tho.

Also Im trying to think of a pumpkin design that I can top my super one with.

Remember this:

2008-09-22T19:11:00.000-07:00

a birdbath.

Heres a nice one, crazy how this stuff works out.

Why do I even CARE?

I guess I dont as much as I used to.

I used to think that once I was not angry all my problems would be over.

Well, for the most part I was right. Everything else is minor by comparison.

Im going to go fishing 2morrow and then I have a bunch of yardwork to do at the new house.

hope everyone has a good weekend.

:^)

2008-09-17T16:41:00.003-07:00

I think I might start a new segment called:

Comments I would leave at monstergirls blog but she wont let me

Todays instalment:

"prolly cause she hates me. But I know I erroneously think everything revolves around me...

Dont delete my comment...This is no sermon.

I liked the song, but not the singer.

I bet the agitator in YOUR washing machine doesnt constantly get stuck.

:^)"

This is mostly in reply to butchies comment.

2008-09-17T16:41:00.002-07:00

I think the wisest thing anyones said to me recently is

"They bring up stuff to scare us"

2008-09-17T16:41:00.001-07:00

who does this remind you of?

2008-09-16T19:56:00.000-07:00

When and if I ever get to heaven if Jesus asks me who I want to save I think Ill reply everyone.

I can hope I have that kind of clout when I get there.

Hello Neighbors,

Today just for Cantopenner We are going to have german class.

Hoden = testicular
Hodensack = scrotum

Ich bin ein Berliner = I am one with the people of Berlin

There are no jelly donuts involved. Contrary to what you may have heard.

The stuff we talk about nowadays I tell you, at risk of sounding redundant, I think most misunderstandings arise from misunderstanding.

Also heres Hallowed be Thy Name, from Iron Maiden:

2008-09-15T16:13:00.001-07:00

2008-09-14T17:47:00.000-07:00

I have started to believe that Gods Court, his kingdom, and subjects are ever growing.

This is good news indeed for anyone wishing to follow him.

I used to believe that Gods kingdom was static, that it was never changing, never growing but never shrinking...After much careful consideration and philosophical debate I came to the conclusion that it is not. And that muchly glorifies his subjugation of the adversary. For he risks his entire kingdom so that we may always be entered into it.

No one would ever be interested in great stories that have never been told. And I cant tell stories anyway when I believe they have no ending.

Some people call me crazy. Im not, some stories really have no ending, you just have to have faith that there is an ending someday, that you will never hear or be part of. And that all things happen for a reason.

I accept that.

And I hope you all do too.

But if not maybe someday you will.

And that makes me laugh.

Hey check out these magic cards(After all Im a GIANT NERD if Im anything),

2008-09-14T10:21:00.000-07:00

Some people goto church.

I went around and talked to some good friends of mine. I came out of it with 2 bags of 'taters and a bag of onions, some pop, and some other misc. stuff I needed for the house.

Did you guys ever hear the rolling stones song about me?(quite a trick considering it was on the beggers banquet album in 1968.)

Honestly tho and this is the truth:

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
And I howled at my ma in the driving rain,
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right. Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
I was schooled with a strap right across my back,
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead.
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled.
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head.
But its all right now, in fact, its a gas!
But its all right, Im jumpin jack flash,
Its a gas! gas! gas!

Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash, its a gas
Jumping jack flash

2008-09-12T21:14:00.000-07:00

I decided to post my favorite chicken trucking song today.

If you have never listened to Wolf Creek Pass, dont dismiss it, Give the whole thing a chance.

Its not my favorite sort of music or anything but the lyrics are inspired.

2008-09-11T09:39:00.000-07:00

If you look hard enough all curses become blessings.

:^)

I bet some of you dont believe me, but maybe you should.

Look harder, but only if you want to.

Have a great day!

Id rather be saying spring is sprung but it appears the summer is over.

I feel alittle under the weather today. I think Im coming down with a cold.

And I need to work on some peoples computer today as well.

2008-09-02T05:22:00.001-07:00

2008-08-08T06:07:00.000-07:00

Good day everyone!

Well, its picture Friday. And I wanted to post this picture of me on the Johnstown, PA incline plane.

For those of you who dont know the Johnstown incline plane is a big machine, made to bring people up and down.

Its the steepest vehicular incline plane in the world.

More info here , if you are interested in big machines that bring people up and down.

2008-08-07T06:56:00.000-07:00

Well, I was thinking about this other parable and now it has me scared crapless.

"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys the field. "

I am scared to death of that one.

So much so that I dont think Ill tell anyone what I think it means.

2008-08-05T06:10:00.000-07:00

You know, I go around and tell people what I think is the best news I ever heard, that God is gonna save our sorry butts no matter what. Because its what he wants. Not because its something we need. and people just dont even give a crap.

What is up with that?

I find it very frustrating.

2008-08-04T06:21:00.000-07:00

One week to go before I start my new job. Im starting to get alittle bit nervous and excited about it.

However there is still alot to pack.

And I havent found a place to move it to yet.

I guess worst case scenario I can stay at my mother in laws house and make a 30 minute commute, but I would really much rather have a new house before I start.

So say I prayer that I find something, somewhere thats livable to move into.

And have a good day!

2008-08-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

This songs sums up how I feel most times.

Infinite Dreams

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend
I couldn't hear those screams
Even in my wildest dreams

Suffocation waking in a sweat
Scared to fall asleep again
Incase the dream begins again
Someone chasing and cannot move
Standing rigid a nightmare's statue
What a dream when will it end
And will I transcend?

Restless sleep the minds in turmoil
One nightmare ends another fertile
Getting to me so scared to sleep
But scared to wake now, in too deep

Even though its reached new heights
I rather like the restless nights
It makes me wonder it makes me think
There's more to this I'm on the brink
It's not the fear of what's beyond
It's just that I might not respond
I have an interest almost craving
But would I like to get too far in?

It can't be all coincidence
Too many things are evident
You tell me you're an unbeliever
Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither
But wouldn't you like to know
The truth
Of what's out there to have the proof
And find out just which side
You're on
Where would you end in Heaven or
In Hell?

Help me. Help me to find my true
Self without seeing the future
Save me, save me from torturing
Myself even within my dreams

There's got to be just more to it
Than this
Or tell me why do we exist
I'd like to think that when I die
I'd get a chance another time
And to return and live again
Reincarnate, play the game
Again and again and again

2008-08-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

I wanna know if something is possible.

Last Tuesday I was on my way to lunch when I got the call that I got my new super awesome totally radical job.

Then all the way home and back to work, the wind was blowing in the trees, and when it was the leaves would all move together to produce a clapping sound.

Is it possible that the trees were applauding for me?

I like to think it is.

2008-08-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

My wife took this butterfly picture.

I think she oughta get a job for wild kingdom.

Im running out of snails again, I had to dip into what Ive been calling "treat snails" this morning, because the ones from the river have gotten so thin in my bait bucket.

Also, I seem to have forgotten to brush my teeth.

Remember the neighbor guy I built/gave a computer for his birthday?

Yesterday I cooked up about 20 crappies he caught/brought over for me.

They were so good! I mean I expected them to be good, but not as good as they were.

We had french fries too. Those were nothing spectacular like the fish was.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

2008-07-30T06:03:00.000-07:00

ok, Big news is in.

I got the super awesome totally radical job I had applied for.

Now my family and I have to move about 1.5 hours northwest of here so I can start working it.

I had a very hard time telling my current employer, I was worried they wouldnt take it so well, but I put in my 2 week notice yesterday and they were so nice about it it made me cry.

Ill miss my friends I made here, but Im also looking forward to getting up there and making new friends.

Its like a bittersweet victory.

:^)

Have a great day! I know I will!

2008-07-29T06:24:00.000-07:00

We had a big power outage last night that knocked out my fishtank filter on the 55 gallon, I had to take it apart and fix it so my fish didnt suffocate. and my wife felt bad because she noticed it wasnt working about an hour after I went to bed. So she got me up at about 1:45 and told me about it and I went downstairs and fixed it, took about an hour. Ugh. I am tired now.

In other news, Im waiting on some big news.

I may or may not let you all(Both of you!) know how it went after I receive it.

We will have to see.

Instead of having a nice day, be kind and try and stay happy.

ba'bye now.

2008-07-28T10:24:00.000-07:00

Well, recent troubles with trolls really rocked my beliefs system.

BUT

I have come to the conclusion that I should just let whatever happens happen. And I shouldnt be so worried about everything all the time.

Gods plan is in action and Ill leave it at that, whatever he has planned for me will happen to me. Anything I do to try and change any outcomes of anything will not change what he has planned.

Thank goodness that I always have the out of putting it all on sweet Jesus. He is the man. And Im thankful too because I cant handle being the man.

And thats that.

2008-07-28T06:03:00.000-07:00

Well I had a pretty rough weekend, quantity 6 12 year old girls and 1 boy at Melissa's birthday party. UGH ROUGH! And loud! It was only actually bad Saturday, while the 12 year old boy was there. All the girls were picking on him, very loudly might I add. And the poor kid, he just took it.

He must be some kind of masochist or something.

Other than that I played alot of video games. And my wife cleaned and packed.

I hope she wasnt packing for nothing.

2008-07-26T08:32:00.000-07:00

2008-07-25T19:29:00.000-07:00

God wants people to be free.

He wants people to be able to choose between right and wrong.

I believe this is self evident.

Therefore one must pursue the highest degree of freedom in any society. Even if some people choose to do bad things. They need to be able to choose them. And also we must strive for the highest degree of moral value, tho we can never attain it, because it is equally evident God wants us to choose that option.

But that doesn't mean I have to listen to them or put up with stuff I shouldn't have to put up with. Because there is nothing WRONG with picking up and leaving and washing your hands of a mess if you at all able to. I for 1 should try and do that more often.

and thats why im here, becoming this guy...

...Um...and also because Im a 204 year old helpful German kobold shapeshifter with a bad temper, I guess.

Hödeken (what can I say, I thought about Spatula and also Mechanical Tomato Slicer but they didn't really have the full robust flavor this name has, nor the obscureness I needed.)

And yeah I like Kobolds anyway. That's a big plus.

which is NOT be be confused with a Troll . BTW that's something else---No relation, entirely different myth system...

Here's a bit of a poem, describing a troll written by Snorri Sturluson (1178 – September 23, 1241)

They call me Troll;
Gnawer of the Moon,
Giant of the Gale-blasts,
Curse of the rain-hall,
Companion of the Sibyl,
Nightroaming hag,
Swallower of the loaf of heaven.
What is a Troll but that?

BTW blogger spellchecker was wrong all OVER this post.
