I haven't been doing any thinking, part-time or otherwise, just taxes and getting screwed by an unnamed tax preparer and other fun stuff. I did happen to revisit a favorite blog, and read what is now one of my favorite posts of hers. So, since I don't have anything to write just yet, head on over to Avenue F and read about Frankie's trip to Paris.I know, pretty weak to pimp rather than provide

I don't make a lot of money, but I don't have a lot of bills either, you might say I live beneath my means. I don't eat the crackers shaped like fish; I eat the crackers shaped like squares, although I could easily afford the fish. Not braggin'; just sayin', again. Since I have always been the kind of person that would rather pay for something outright than get it on credit, I'm not really

Victor was pronounced brain dead this morning and they plan to remove him from life support ... well, about now I think. I guess I should mention that I haven't referred to Victor before and it is an alias but the picture is of him. His cousin Isabel is a coworker and friend, I've mentioned her before, that's not really important. What happened was, sometime around 11 or so on Monday Isabel got a

I somehow watched a full hour of Power Rangers Mystic Force this morning. I'm not sure what caused this, I didn't plan it, but I've been sick and also on painkillers from my dentist, so I think I kind of zoned out. I'm actually pretty sure, it was about 20 after the hour when I realized it had come on after whatever else I was watching and I hadn't done anything about it. Not that I have

I'm getting old. So are you, so STFU, this is not free-for-all, it's a sensitive, endearing self-examination that really suffers when I can hear you mocking me. As I was saying; I'm getting old. I'm pushing 40, in the sense that I will be 40 in just under 3 years. In the more real sense of people only having the ammunition that you hand them, I will start telling people I'm 40 in 5, maybe 8

I have seen a lot of television over the years, so I would never have predicted that I would be watching as little at this point in my life as I currently do. Then again, I never would have guessed that the greatest advantage of Internet access for me would be banking and bill-paying, but here we are. Oh, I enjoy perusing the oddities offered up by cretin and genius alike, and of course the

Okay people, just a few things we all need to remember during these hectic days of the holiday season. Winter is a wonderful time, the chill in the air keeps us all indoors crowded together more than any other part of the year. Add in the shopping and we are closer together than I personally am at all comfortable with; so we need to go over a few basic concepts that hold our fragile society

It's been about 15-16 years, since I was in one of the two usual age brackets for strip club attendees, but I've been. There are just the two main demographics at the strip club, your results may vary. The first time I ever went to a strip club was the second I turned 18, with my friend Mikey whom is a

Racial supremacists usually don't bother me very much, they only get press on slow news days and even then the liberal media usually manages to show them as the misguided misanthropes that they are, in spite of allowing them the publicity so shamelessly for ratings.

I fully realize that sweepstakes and instant winnings are tried-and-true marketing schemes that aren't likely to end anytime soon . The underlying theme of our society is instant gratification, more so with every passing day, so the idea of something free NOW just gets more and more appealing. Not that it ever wasn't appealing, but the sense of entitlement that we have instilled in our young

What is the deal with motel/hotel towels? It's such a cliché that people steal them -- who would want them? I suppose once upon a time they were very nice, and probably still are in better hotels than I stayed at; but from the abrasive drying I did over the last 10 days I'd say the hotels have figured out a way around all the thievery. First of all, they are like burlap; only scratchier.

The contradiction is rather obvious; most people are aware of what sheep most people are, and want to believe

All is usually quite well in Blisstown, the realm ofignorance, protected from what we don't know about those we careabout, those we tolerate, those we restrain ourselves with nearlysuper-human strength from grabbing by the neck and .... Those are theeasiest to deal with, the ones we despise; you rarely learn anythingnew that

Globe scoops YMT, Orpah not gay

2005-10-06T17:38:00.000-04:00

I have long suspected Orpah and her best bud Gail King are a lesbian couple, and had even partially written out a piece about it, shelved it for a while, then the Globe comes out with their version, which pretty much tells me I was way off. They have awebsite, but the story isn't there, they want you to buy the rag, and I think it was a week old when I saw it at the market. I didn't buy it

Reunion Entertains One

2005-10-02T21:14:00.000-04:00

Back to television, not that we ever leave it for long here at YMT, TV is what keeps the thinking part-time. Reunion is on FOX, and is one of those shows that makes me glad to live in a time that canceled series end up on DVD. I say that because FOX has decided to place this show on Thursday night opposite the NBC bad hair show and whatever blockbuster not-fully-boring show that CBS has on.

Does my saying it make it true?

2005-09-27T22:48:00.000-04:00

Well, of course not, silly bear! Now, if the question is, does my saying it mean that it is true, then the answer is yes. I make a point of not making statements of fact that I am not sure about. But we aren't really talking about me, we're talking about folks that say whatever comes off the top of their head and if it happens to be incredibly far off base surreal not factual, well, so be it.

Tip of the day: Don't waste your time or your long distance dimes calling to borrow money from me if you have ever tried to get me arrested. Simple enough, donchathink? Not too long a story, a few years ago I went out of state with two cousins, a brother and sister. We'll call them Flem and Wheezie. Wheezie (the she) was driving her car, and we went from North Cackalackkee to Geeyorga

What Kind of subject line is 'test'?

Oh, that? I was working through the different functions that are available at blogger, not really expecting to find anything useful, when I came across the post-via-email thing and it seemed a little too simple so I tried it out. It works. It works very well. I may never have to actually visit my blogs ever again, once I get them all their own email addresses set-up. The good part, what is it

2005-09-25T22:34:00.000-04:00

I saw this show on PBS a couple of Saturdays ago, and I just thought to look it up today. There is this strange little show in the morning, it comes on after the economics shows from the late 80s, some sort of "being a good employee in broken English" kind of thing. What I was intrigued by was that one of the bad English employees being helped by helping lady looked and sounded just like

Carson Daly Amuses One

2005-09-19T14:53:00.000-04:00

If you stay up late enough, you're bound to see things you never thought possible. Friday, Sept. 16 Steve Carell was on "Last Call w/ Carson Daly" touting the return of "The Office", and I'm sure the continued success of his movie. Not paying too much attention, I did happen to catch Carell explaining how a scene filmed at a Chili's™ restaurant had to be changed because of Chili's™ MGMT

I get it, he is a dufus. He is surrounded by dufi. I get it. One or two lines had me snickering, and then it was over. Scratch that, after 45 minutes of wondering when the great time was going to begin for me, I snickered once. Then light laughs two more times. Like that other guy said at the other place; it was all character and no plot. I get it, there was a plot. Just not a very interesting

September started pretty much the same as August, hot and humid, nothing extraordinary. Katrina and New Orleans were on most of our minds more than anything else, otherwise nothing extraordinary. I went to work and came home, nothing extraordinary. I usually sit here and read groups, blogs, and scout for nude pics of Walter Brennan, and Thursday night was no different. I got to sleep around

St. James Davis faces new challenges

2005-08-29T21:45:00.000-04:00

After having their pet chimpanzee Moe removed from their care in 1999, St. James and Ladonna Davis began visiting him at the Wildlife Waystation in Lake View Terrace until he was moved to Animal Haven Ranch near Bakersfield in 2004. On March 3rd, while visiting to celebrate Moe's 39th birthday, four other chimpanzees escaped their enclosures and two of them attacked the Davises. Mr. Davis lost

While watching "Malcolm in the Middle" just the other day, I noticed they made use of an old tv fake product, "Oaties" cereal. Something about avoiding eye contact with Lois, Malcolm and Dewey kept dragging the box back and forth across the table to hide. If this makes no sense, there is a point. "Oaties" is a fake product used on tv shows that have enough respect for their art not to sell off

Inspired by recent events and a somewhat friendly reply from an acquaintance, I have been trying to make a habit of updating, which isn't exarkly easy when you only think part-time. As it happens, blogskipping sometimes brings inspiration, and other times you just find things you want to grab and claim as your own. You might, I don't.

A few words on Brother Pat

2005-08-24T20:18:00.000-04:00

I've been asked to say a few words about the recent statement by Pat Robertson. Not the attempted retraction, just the original. As a military strategist, his idea is neither complex nor original, there was a lot of talk of the same such strategic elimination before Operation Desert Storm. Whatever your feelings on the first Gulf War, President Bush the Elder likes a good show as well as

I don't want to bring up anything too controversial, but this amusedme. Tomcruiseisnuts.com reports a story from allheadlinenews.com (wtf,madeup.com was taken?) that the diminutive actor has spawned a new catchphrase, "Jumping the Couch".

As we know, Terri Schiavo has finally found relief from the prison of her severely damaged mind and body. I rarely find joy in a person's death, nor do I at her's; but I am relieved for her and her family. Perhaps her parents can find another cause to rally around. Her husband, having already moved on; perhaps can have a more peaceful life outside of the camera eye. There are a lot of things

That, and use pastels, everyone loves pastels,especially around the time of year the m & m's are in pastels."

I don't particularly care to be there unless I really feel it's necessary; but that's because of all the people and the crowds. The people being rude people, and the crowds being a lot of people, any kind. As you may already know, I don't care much for people as a general rule, but when you get that many in one place; it's never a good idea. Walmart as monopolistic Mom & Pop killer ... nope,

So, I have promised some things, and not done them. Hmm, what a friend. Specifically, a set of corner shelves with the overall shape of a rabbit, cartoon-style; not actual rabbit you understand. That would be a pretty small, less-than-useful set of shelves. I promised them over a year ago, so she (the eventual reciever) has forgotten all about them, but I told Lala that I was going to be working
