Things Are Lookin' Up... -4/6/02

Hey all! TEKK is back once again with an update. First, a follow up on TEKK'S face. Well, it got better. TEKK is certainly pleased about this, to say the least. A little bit of redness remains, but is slowly fading. So the medicine was indeed a success. TEKK can actually put up some pics of himself on the site now! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!

Well now, on to more ineresting things. TEKK is happy to report that he found a new girlfriend recently! Her name is Heidi and she is really great. TEKK has quite a bit in common with her and so far everything has been going great. TEKK will have a pic of her up on the Friends page by the time you read this. It wasn't a very easy road that lead the two of us to each other but we persevered and came through happier than before. Can't ask for much more than that, now can ya?

Heidi and TEKK share a love of movies and music (even though she hates TEKK'S favorite band Static-X...grr). She is a big fan of Marilyn Monroe and she likes ALL kinds of music including some of TEKK'S favorite stuff.....80's music!!! Sweeeeet. TEKK may not be sure of a lot of things in this world but if there is one thing that TEKK can rest assured on it is that he and Heidi will be together for a loooong time to come. TEKK loves ya baby!

Now on to a completely different and yet totally serious subject. As many of you may know TEKK still has yet to find a job. One thing though....TEKK has this feeling that this drought will soon be coming to an end. Don't ask TEKK how he knows. It's just a feeling. It may be that when other things in your life start to go good the rest decides to fall in line as well. TEKK likes to think so! Besides, if TEKK doesn't find a job by May 1st, he will once again be looking for a new place to live. But somehow TEKK is not worried. Things will work out. TEKK is sure of it.

And just a little reminder to all of you who have been there for TEKK when things weren't looking up, TEKK WILL NOT forget about you when you need someone. TEKK will be there for you. As for those who turned away when all TEKK needed was a hand up.....someday when you are the one who needs help or encouragement or just to know that there is someone there who cares.........who knows, TEKK just might turn and walk the other way. Maybe TEKK will, maybe he won't.........just something to think about.

So Far So......So -2/25/02

What's up FOLKS? Welcome to the ALL NEW and REDESIGNED KnowYourRoleAndShutYourMouth.com!  It has been a hectic time for TEKK just getting the site back online (bout a week of down time). After some troubles getting the site a new host and such, all was resolved and the new look was finally finished.  Hopefully the beginning of a new era for TEKK and KnowYourRoleAndShutYourMouth.com.  Well, TEKK has plenty to rant about this episode, so let's just get right to it.

First and foremost on TEKK'S mind today is the pain that yours truly is in at the moment. As some of TEKK'S friends have most assuredly noticed over the last year, TEKK has been struggling with a slowly worsening case of what TEKK can only describe as a form of "acne". TEKK says it that way cause he is not certain that acne is what it really is for sure. For this reason TEKK has refrained from putting up any new pictures of himself on the site, which is a shame considering all the different "looks" TEKK has sported this year.  Anyway, having gotten to the point where it was effecting his social life and self confidence (not to mention website), TEKK broke down and bought an acne treatment called Proactiv. Now TEKK was pretty excited to say the least, about receiving this medicine for his face. Trust TEKK when he says that that it is not only embarrassing it is also pretty painful to have such a facial deformity (OK, so facial deformity may be an exaggeration, but hey, it sure feels like that's what it is).

So, eager to dull the pain and resume a normal social life, TEKK proceeded to applying the medicine and actually began to feel good about things for once. Ha ha. Oh, how cruel life can be. Show you a glimmer of hope and then rain on your parade. Bastard that it is. So, obviously the worst thing that could happen did, and TEKK'S face got worse. Much worse. TEKK looks like he was in a car accident. TEKK doesn't fault the medicine though. It just seems that TEKK has a different problem than he thought, and a trip to the dermatologist may be in order. Grrr.

Well, it's not ALL bad news this time around though. TEKK has been able to get some work as of late, albeit temporary. Pier 1 Imports is once again paying TEKK for his services, so TEKK will have a good 2 weeks of pay under his belt.....woo hoo. Must.... get...real....job....

TEKK was also lucky enough to recently participate in a long running tradition amongst his friends that, by some strange means (he he he), TEKK had not participated in before. FOOTBALL! Now by no stretch of the imagination is TEKK a great practitioner of the devilish game of "FOOSBALL", but he has seen enough movies about the subject to feel confident in his abilities to "Whoop that ass!".  And boy did he ever!  TEKK had all the girls on the opposing team so angry at him for his (natural) defensive ability, that they were going to extremes to divert his attention.  Heather actually thought that by flashing  (o \/ o)  TEKK, she might somehow draw his attention away from the swarming defense of her teammates.  HA!  Sorry Heather....if you'll remember, TEKK has seen it all before (and has some of it on video...).  Ha ha ha.  Seriously though we all had a lot of fun and were also lucky enough to have Jensen's new girlfriend Rosie join the game.  Pretty sweeeeet.  Even though TEKK'S team lost !?! it was still a very fun day.  More are requested!  Nay, DEMANDED!

TEKK has a few well wishes to give out this time around as well.  First of all, TEKK would like to wish Melissa well on her move to Madison, WI.  TEKK knows that she is not looking forward to it, but wants to remind her that it is for the best and that TEKK will not forget about her.  TEKK would also like to wish Christina well on her recent move from TEKK'S neighborhood.  It will suck not having ya in the neighborhood. TEKK is sure he will see less of you, but is happy for you nonetheless!  Well, that's aboot it for today......Later!

P.S.- TEKK just loves Beth's new hairdo!  Short pink and wavy is IN (specially with the matching shoes and undies!) and it is SEXY!  Grrr Baby!

P.P.S.- What does everyone think of TEKK'S choice for a tattoo?  It is the symbol at the top of the page, the logo for TEKK'S favorite band Static-X (Wayne Static has the coolest hair!).  Some day soon it will be forever etched upon TEKK'S upper arm.  Sweeeeet....

HAPPY NEW YEAR! -1/16/02

Hello everyone. TEKK hopes that you all have had a good start to the year 2002. TEKK has been in a better mood than usual so far this year....probably because he is certain that this year could never be as bad as last year was, so it has to be a better year at least. TEKK is certainly off to a good start considering he has partied every weekend for the last month! It all started with New Years Eve.....

TEKK had an AWESOME New Years Eve party at his humble abode. Kinda a last minute thing that came together very nicely. Everyone had fun and TEKK has the video footage to prove it! Beth insisted that we make a movie, so that occupied most of our time. The only one who may not have had the best time was Mark, who after a few too many scenes of acting with a bad British accent, decided to drown himself in alcohol of all flavors.....whew, boy was he messed up! At least he didn't miss the bucket and barf on TEKK'S leather throne. Needless to say he ended up going home. Eventually, everyone just sorta passed out. When TEKK woke up the next morning he had a few people in his bed with him....hoo boy. Hahaha.

Next up, was Kelly and Heather's "Wine and Cheese" Party......or "Made-Up Excuse to Have a Party" Party, as TEKK likes to call it. ;o) Anyway, this little shindig ended up being a very good time for TEKK and most everyone else involved. We played a few drinking games and watched Paul play Final Fantasy X for a little while. The drinks were all excellent except for this one bottle that tasted like complete ASS! Ass and a half, even. Ugh, it was AWEFUL! Anyway, half-way through the evening a (drunken)few of us decided to go to the bar and dance. Now this was definitely not a good idea....most of us were way too drunk to be moving around in a car. We did have a designated driver and all but that car ride just about made TEKK hwarf up his liver.....Yikes. Anyway, the bar was a fun time and even though TEKK still felt nauseous every once in a while, he survived until last call. The rest of the night was spent back at the appartment just chillin' and talkin' some deep stuff with Stephanie. Pretty cool stuff. She has a lot more going on in her head than people give her credit for, that's for sure. By the way, Laura's presence was sorely missed....TEKK feels bad that she can't let loose as often as TEKK is sure she would like to. So much responsibility is a shitty thing when you are still so young.....

Well now, on to this past weekend. Wow. Kelly calls TEKK up and wants to know if TEKK is up for hanging out with her and Stephanie and getting wasted on all that leftover wine from the previous party. What a dumb question. Of course TEKK will drink and be merry! So they pick TEKK up and we proceed to getting snookered, smashed, bowled over and blasted. We succeed quite admirably. Later on Paul gets home from work and joins us in watching some of TEKK'S "famous" home videos. Then we get the call.........Todd Jensen is coming over with his WOMAN! Hell has frozen over! The world is ending! JENSEN HAS A GIRLFRIEND!!!! Hoo boy....and yikes.

So Jensen and his woman arrive. All TEKK has to say is....good job Todd! You found yourself a keeper.......now don't screw it up. Hahaha. Well, anyway, after Jensen and Rosie left, Kelly and Steph sat around with TEKK, drinking and just talking about how messed up everything has been this past year. Good conversation can't be beat sometimes. Being drunk doesn't hurt either. ;o) Well' this went on until about 9 am, when we decided it was time to pass out. TEKK and Kelly ended up passed out in Heather's bed (sorry 'bout the sheets Heather....hehehe)until about noon when Kelly got up to watch the Packers game with Mark and Paul. Needless to say TEKK stayed in bed for that one (Go Bears!). After all was said and done, TEKK didn't end up back home until 8 pm! It was a lot of fun though. TEKK hopes to keep his streak of fun weekends going by having a good time this weekend too. Well, until next time....

P.S.- Did ya check out the sweeeeeet poster for Star Wars: Episode II- Attack Of The Clones at the top of the page? Definitely cool. Thanx to Laura for the hook-up.

UPDATE -11/15/01

Hello Everyone. Sorry, not really a new Tantrum just an update. TEKK is just trying out a new look for the site. Also, from now on the site will be known as KnowYourRoleAndShutYourMouth.com, instead of TEKK'S World. So, yes I guess TEKK'S World is officially dead. Long live KYRASYM.com! Drop TEKK a line and tell him what you think of it (so far....). It is still very much a work in progress so most of the other pages aren't quite finished yet. The theme is gonna be art. Each page will have its own unique peice of artwork for the background picture. TEKK's gonna mix it up a little and see what happens! Well, until next time.......

To My Friends... - 10/14/01

Hello Everyone. I wanted to write all of you today and tell you that I appreciate all of your friendship and that I am so glad that I have had good friends to talk to when things in my life have not gone well(this past year.........). I guess some of you may have heard already about my incident last night. For those of you who have not, I suppose I should elaborate a bit. Yesterday was not a particularly good day for me for a few reasons. First, my new girl friend and I were having some troubles and she decided to end our relationship. For good reason too, she told me the same thing that I have been told by friends and former girl friends alike, that I do not seem to put forth any effort to come see them, call them or even write e-mails to them and that they feel they are giving their all and I give nothing in return. An argument that I cannot quarrel with. So to all of my friends whom I have made feel that they are not important to me, I wish to take this opportunity to apologize to you all. You are all important to me for different reasons and I cherish my association with all of you.

Now, with that said I will continue with my horrible night. After Melissa and I had finished our talk, she left and I came back inside to a waiting visitor, my mother. She proceeded to tell me of my inability be a responsible human being and that she and my father would no longer allow me to stay in the house that they pay for. This I cannot quarrel with as well. I have admittedly been in a horrible funk for the last 8 months, after the loss of my jobs at both MC Sports and UPS and my failed relationships with former girl friends. I know that in reality I have tried to get another job countless times, to no success. I have not had ONE place even return with a phone call. And all of my inquiries were met with "Sorry, we just aren't looking for people at the moment.". So while I understand my parents anger at me I still felt that it was miss guided, for I was still trying my best to deal with everything that has come my way. So, at this point I just completely broke down into a massive blubbering mess and begged God to take me away from all of my problems.........he apparently wasn't listening. So I tried to take matters into my own hands and proceeded to the kitchen for the largest knife I could find. I'm still not sure at this point whether I was serious in my threat to slit my own wrists. I have always believed myself to be to much of a coward to attempt to kill myself. It appears as if I was correct. When my mother saw my intentions, she called the police. During all of this, Melissa came back and kinda walked into the middle of something that she should not have seen. For that I also apologize. It was not my intention to hurt anyone else, mentally or physically, and I know I scared her at least. When the police arrived I gave up my foolish behavior and went quietly. Being taken away in handcuffs from your home is a very surreal experience to say the least..........especially with my neighbors sitting in their driveway in lawn chairs gawking at me like I'm Hannibal "The Cannibal" or something. The policeman who escorted me to the hospital was surprisingly very nice to me and treated me with respect. For that I am grateful. Well anyway, four doctors later, some help line phone #'s, and an extravagant bill (that I cannot pay......) and they sent me home. They told me I was "Normal". Why do I not feel "Normal"? Is this something a "Normal" person does on a Friday night? Who the hell knows........

Anyway, I am now in a precarious position. No job, no $, no girl friend, no car, no home and no dignity to speak of. And it's only gonna get worse from here on, until I get back on my feet. A side effect of all of this is that my web site will no longer be updated (until further notice), it's just not that important and I will most likely not have access to any of my belongings, including my computer. I know that most of you will have no way to contact me anymore so I will try to let you all know how I am doing from time to time. I am still not sure where I will end up. It might be at a shelter or in the park in a tent, who knows. I am scared but I am positive that I am destined for better things in this world and will try to do my best.
THANK YOU ALL FOR LISTENING AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU ALL SOON. TAKE CARE.

The preceding was originally an e-mail that TEKK sent to all of his closest friends after the events that took place on Sept. 28. A few items to update on this situation..... First of all TEKK still has a place to live, but has had to sell his soul to his parents in return. Secondly, Melissa and TEKK have also patched things up again, so we are once again together(for now.....TEKK will find a way to ruin it like he always does....). And lastly, on the job front, lets just say TEKK has one set up but it is not something he will be enjoying in the least. So that is where TEKK is, as of today, but as always things can change, so who knows what awful fate awaits TEKK as the future draws near. TEKK shall hope for the best and will embrace the end if it comes.

What's Love Got To Do With It? - 8/2/01

After much hard work and experiments with new ideas and the Like, TEKK has finally returned with one of the most anticipated Tantrums he has ever written. Why all this new found interest in TEKK'S World? Who knows.......could be the flashy new look, the spiffy new music, or TEKK'S favorite reason.......the giant head of TEKK on the main page! Seriously though folks this site is truly starting to amaze TEKK more and more every day. While not epic in proportion to other sites, TEKK is very proud of what he has accomplished with his site(now if only TEKK could land a job doing this......or a job at all for that matter), and hopes that it will continue to be THE place on the internet where TEKK and his friends and family can come together to have a good time. Well let's go over what's new real quick, shall we? OK, first off the Tantrum has its own page, separate from the main splash page(mostly for loading reasons), and you can access it by clicking on the TEKK'S World logo(Duh!). Also, the splash page has a direct link to a new feature to TEKK'S World.....the WEBCAM! By clicking the pic of TEKK'S huge melon, one will be taken directly to the webcam. That's right, you too can come witness the splendor that is TEKK, LIVE and in MOTION! Or something..... Once it has loaded(providing TEKK is online), you can then resize the window and put it off to the side and continue to surf the site or chat with TEKK........whatever the case may be. Another addition to the site is the GUESTBOOK....SIGN IT ALREADY! Gee wasn't that simple.... Also, the FRIENDS page has had quite a large update performed upon it, and it's for the better! New pics(clickable to go to their respective sites.......if available)and comments on some of TEKK'S friends that were left out before(not maliciously of course), plus TEKK has taken it upon himself to give everyone their very own brand new, shined up.......Latin Name. It is certainly fitting, in TEKK'S view, that such an interesting buch of animals be given their own scientific names. And by the way if you don't happen to like your new name..........TOUGH.....TEKK doesn't mean to offend anyone but, if you can't laugh at your own excentricities then TEKK pitys you, PUNY MORTAL! And lastly, regarding site news anyway, TEKK is calling out the fans of TEKK'S World to send in their pick for TEKK'S TOP 5 MP3z of the month. You can request any song you like.....and IF TEKK picks yours as one of the top 5 then he will track it down(if TEKK doesn't already have it)and make it available for download. The more unique and original ones will obviously get the first look, so think about it for a minute why don'tcha! You will also get your name in BIG, BOLD letters anlong with your pick if it is chosen for the top 5(so everyone will know who it was that was looking for that Milli Vanilli song...hehehe). Allrightythen, on to the real meat of this Tantrum.....

It seems that that for the past few months TEKK and his friends have had but one nemesis in this world.........a little thing called LOVE. So TEKK thinks it appropriate to shed some light on the subject from his own unique perspective and experiences. In the 23 years that TEKK has been upon this Earth he has only truly experienced true love with a few people. And TEKK ain't talkin' bout lovin your mama or your brother or junk like that(if ya don't, ya have no reason to read the rest of this Tantrum, so run away and hide under a rock.......you should be ashamed!). TEKK is talking L-O-V-E, the one thing that can make or break a relationship between a man and a woman(or any combination of the 2 you happen to choose) without so much as a warning. Unfortunately it happens to be one of those instances where you're damned if ya do and damned if ya don't. Here's an example........you start dating a new person and after a while you come to realize that you are in love with them. What do you do? 1) Tell them. Yeah sure, then what? Won't that scare them off if they think its too early? (Here's a question for ya.....when is it TOO EARLY to have someone LOVE YOU and think you're the greatest thing thats ever happened to them? Answer: NEVER JACKASS!! Loooooser! Move On!) Were they even looking for that in a relationship?(By the way, TEKK doesn't understand that......isn't that the reason you get into a relationship with someone in the first place?) 2) Keep it to yourself. Then you will be miserable, and it will definitly be noticable. You will probably end up spilling it during an arguement about why you are in such a foul mood anyway. The answer is uncertain.........you be the judge.

Well, this Tantrum is just taking forever to finish(TEKK keeps adding new stuff......) so TEKK will put up some more of this issue next week to kinda spread it out a bit.........cool? Cool.

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! - 6/9/01

HOLY HELL!! What happened to this place?! HA HA! Well, TEKK'S WORLD has undergone a major overhaul and this is only the beginning. Along with the new "matrix-ish" design, TEKK has added a new right-click menu to each page that offers a few cool tools(say that 3 times fast...), plus a host of new Dynamic HTML scripts that are just plain sweeeet to look at! TEKK has come up with a few ideas to keep ya comin' back to check out the site on a regular basis.....mostly because TEKK is having a hard time getting around to typin' out a new Tantrum more often than he already does(life interferes...). Sooner or later(read: after TEKK finds a suitable FREE host) TEKK will be offering his entire music(mp3) collection for download. This is just one of a few ideas that TEKK will be implementing in the near future, so stay tuned!!

Anywho, life continues to be a constant challenge for yours truly. TEKK just recently lost his job(of 3 years) at UPS. Make no bones about it, it was TEKK's fault that he was fired....BUT....BUT...it was because TEKK decided to stand up for himself and not get pushed into doing something he thought was not fair. In the end though it really makes no difference what the reason really was.....TEKK was still fired and is still without a steady paycheck. TEKK wants to make it clear that he really misses everyone at UPS and holds no grudges against anyone(no, not even Kali)......except....Kathy Sack(aka The Emperor) and John Devine(aka Lord Vader). TEKK swears to his God that if he EVER sees one of you two JACKASSES out on the street he will smack the taste out of EACH of your mealy mouths. And you can take that to the bank. AND if TEKK happens to be in his car when he sees ya...... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHahAHAaHahaahhAa....GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!! But seriously folks...

Hey! TEKK would like to congratulate Beth on her newborn baby boy! Ethan Joseph Edge was born on Sunday at about 8:00 p.m.. He was 8lb. 7oz. and 20 in. long. TEKK had the opportunity to visit Beth and Ethan at the hospital and was fortunate enough to get to hold Ethan for about an hour. He was an angel the whole time and didn't cry once(to TEKK'S surprise!). He seems to be one of the lucky few babys that don't have any problems after the fact, which is a really good thing :o). Here's to a long healthy life!

Well, TEKK finally bleached his hair as you can see in the picture above. TEKK really likes it, and no matter what Jessica says, TEKK plans on keeping it that way! So there! HA! Speaking of Jessica, things are still going well for us and despite the fact that(for the moment) TEKK is a jobless bum, she hasn't run screaming for the door......yet!

While TEKK is on the subject of signifigant others, he'd like to point out that two of the most eligible bachelors in the area are no longer available. :o( Sorry ladies but it's true. Jeremy and Andy have finally joined the ranks of the attached and all TEKK can say is.....IT'S ABOUT TIME!!! But seriously, TEKK is really happy for both of them and for their girlfriends, cause TEKK knows they are both great guys and they deserve great girlfriends! Well, it's been a long night and TEKK is ready to fall over so until next time.....ZZZZZZZZZZZ

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! - 4/23/01

Well, well, well........TEKK is back, and it is time(once again) for TEKK'S Tantrums. It sure has been an interesting month! TEKK has a few interesting things to catch the people up on, but first, TEKK would like to thank all of his family and friends for all of their support and interest in seeing The Great Ones' website........without all of you, TEKK would have no reason to be here, simple as that. Anyway, on to the news......

As most of the people know, TEKK has a *very* sensitive nose. Well, last week, TEKK started to notice this funky odor in his apartment. The worst part was that no one else seemed to smell it. TEKK was sure it was something of the dead persuasion(figured it was a mouse) that had crawled under something and keeled over. But TEKK looked under and behind everything with no luck......finally after a few days, the smell had become too strong to miss, and TEKK pinpointed the general direction in which it was coming from. Behind the TV!!! TEKK'S first thought was that maybe something had crawled into the TV and died, but thankfully that was not the case(God forbid...). So the next step was to look through the window above the TV and check in the window well outside.......nothing. So TEKK preceded to tear all of the paneling off of the wall and see if something had died behind it. As soon as TEKK pulled away the paneling he was knocked over by the most horrendous smell...........but still no "dead rotting deer carcass". Finally, TEKK decided to go outside and check out the window well from a different perspective........and was stupefied to discover that there was a giant orange cat lying dead in his window well. TEKK couldn't have seen it from the inside because it was covered with leaves and such. It must have crawled in there, during the rough winter that we had this year, and frozen to death. When spring finally came, and things started to get warmer, he thawed out and made a ruckus! So TEKK'S afternoon consisted of crawling around behind a bush and scoopin' out stinky dead cat from a window well.....UGHHHHH!!!

Well on to more interesting things(to TEKK anyway ; ) ).......I'm certain the people remember the last few editions of TEKK'S Tantrums wherein TEKK mentioned his "favorite booty dancer" and the fact that she never called him. Well, TEKK is happy to report that he saw her again(her name is Jessica, or J for short) after that and she recognized him(by his hat) and came up and talked. Her excuse was that when TEKK gave her his card, she was drunk off her booty and couldn't put a face to the name on the card(now this TEKK could understand....). So instead of calling and making a fool of herself she opted not to call at all, which was probably a wise decision.... ; ). Anyway later in the night, thanx to TEKK'S buddy Andy, she and TEKK went out on the dance floor and "shook some stuff"!!! TEKK once again gave her his card(just in case...), and we talked for a few minutes. TEKK told her that if she didn't call this time it would be "strike two" and you only get three! So TEKK and his buddies took off and did the Perkin's thing like usual. We were literally out doing things all weekend and when TEKK finally settled back down at home he found out that she had called and left a message. Well when we finally got a hold of each other we talked for about an hour and really hit it off. We decided to meet each other at Shooter's that Fri. cause we already had plans to go there anyway with our respective friends. Needless to say we had a great time(other than the whole cut lip thing, which TEKK still says is his fault) and things are still going great! She is a wonderful person and TEKK can't wait to get to know her better. Enough blabbing for this week though, it's wrestling night! See ya next time...

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! - 3/16/01

Well, TEKK has calmed down quite a bit this week, as opposed to last weeks drunken "ALL CAPS" tirade....now, for the aftermath! First off, TEKK'S favorite booty dancer never called him...quite a disapointment, but hey that's life (or maybe just TEKK'S life). Then the following Friday, TEKK'S buddy Jeremy ditched him to go and do something that was definitely less important than getting drunk and having some fun at the bar. Oh well TEKK is starting to get used to all this disappointment, pretty soon TEKK won't even flinch when someone acts like he doesn't exist! Ahh, how good it feels to vent..... TEKK won't even go into the whole "chick-that-cancelled-the-date-and-never-called" story. The whole world doesn't need to know how pathetic TEKK'S life truly is....oh darn, too late! HA!

Time to move on to better things(Yeah, right).... Does anyone believe that it has been exactly 1 year since TEKK started doing his Tantrum column....does anyone care?(gotta play that sympathy card!) As TEKK looked back on the past year while perusing the Tantrum Archive, one thing became blatantly obvious.....the year 2000 really sucked. TEKK remembered being a little kid and thinking to himself that when the year 2000 finally came to pass that life would be so much better. No more bully's that pick on you, no more awful chores to do, no more wishing you were older so that you could do whatever you wanted to. There would be flying cars, robot servants and all your food would be in pill form......what a huge disappointment. Instead of bully's, now you have to deal with your unholy pig of a boss. Instead of chores you get a shitty job that pays dick. Instead of wishing you were older, now you wish you were young again.....oh, how you would do so many things differently if only you could go back. Damn. And where the hell are all the fricken' flying cars... Here's to a better tomorrow....

P.S.- Check out these updated pages: Rose, Survey Says, Disclaimer, Arcade(still under construction).

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! - 3/3/01

WOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! OH MAN, TEKK IS STILL ROLLIN' ROLLIN' ROLLIN' FROM LAST NIGHT! TEKK AND JEREMY MET UP WITH AN OLD WORK BUDDY (ALSO NAMED JEREMY!) AT SHOOTERS(A GREAT BAR, IN A BOWLING ALLEY ; ) ). TEKK HAD BEEN DRINKING SINCE ABOUT 6:30PM AND BY THE TIME WE SETTLED IN AT SHOOTERS, TEKK WAS COMPLETELY WASTED....AND STARTED WATCHIN' ALL THE WOMEN ON THE DANCE FLOOR....THERE WAS SO MUCH BOOTY SHAKIN' GOING ON THAT TEKK'S HEAD WAS SPINNIN'! ALL TEKK COULD DO, WAS SIT BACK AND WATCH. OH MAN, YOU HAVE NO IDEA...TEKK HAD BEEN WATCHIN' THIS ONE FINE WOMAN...OH MY GOD, SHE WAS JUST AWESOME.

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! - 12/24/00

It is Christmas Eve as TEKK is writing this.... as you may have noticed. *Be forwarned, TEKK is severely intoxicated at the moment and not responsible for anything that he says(no responsibility...wheee!). It will probably take TEKK forever just to type this little paragraph...

What's that you say? What a horrible way to spend the Eve of our Lord, drunken and toiling away on your computer....Alas, all TEKK can say is.... LETS HAVE ANOTHER! TEKK'S pouring one for himself and one for his homie Jesus Christ....after all it is his 2000th Birthday! Seriously though, it sure does suck getting drunk all by yourself on Christmas. That's why TEKK just figured he would talk to the computer(new, by the way ; ) ) for a while....................TEKK thinks that may have come out wrong....oh well. At least this horrible week has come to an end. To much work, to little sleep, to many bills and a lot of lonlyness adds up to a really crappy holiday. TEKK'S random quote of the moment: "Eggnog...it's eggnoggy!". HA!

Well, on to site related B.S.. For those of you who don't know, you can now reach TEKK'S WORLD at www.KnowYourRoleAndShutYourMouth.com. And no that is not a joke, as TEKK has been asked on a few occasions ; ). Also, the site is now on a different server so hopefully things will run a little faster. Things have gone under a lot of changes with much more to come, so stay tuned and stay sober! HA! Merry X-mas!!

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -10/12/00

FFFFFIIIIIIIIIINNNNAAAALLLLLYYYYY!!!!! THE GREAT ONE HAS COME BACK TO THE WEBSITE! After almost six months away from TEKK'S WORLD, TEKK has finally decided to give all of the millions(and millions) of fans, exactly what they have been asking for! Where has THE GREAT ONE been, you ask? To hell and back, little jabroni's... ........to hell and back.

During TEKK'S abscense from the site, he has been through a flood(close call w/ the TV set), a nasty break-up with Trina, another(short) relationship, a horriffic sunburn(THE PEOPLE have no idea...), a tough time with his parents, and a three-way(TEKK was NOT involved!). This whole six months has really changed a lot of things for TEKK. TEKK no longer has a car or a couch(thanks to Trina), and has to take care of his own finances(It HAS been a while....) now that he no longer shares an income with another person. But THE GREAT ONE has persevered and is making the best of what is left. TEKK owes a lot to his friends, especially Laura, for being there for his candy-ass when "the shit hit the fan", as THE PEOPLE say.

TEKK'S WORLD has received updates to pages that were in need(only a few actually) and a new Tantrum whenever TEKK feels like it.... >; . TEKK is unsure as to what extent his return will mean. A new beginning? A rebirth? A heel turn? >; / Who knows? But one thing is certain, and TEKK believes it to be true, that:

"Long is the way, and hard, that out of hell leads to light." -Milton "Paradise Lost"

P.S.- A special thank you to Lori. Even though I have yet to reply to your E-mail(as of this writing).....it was the best reason I needed to update my page, so you could check it out!

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -4/24/00

Happy Easter (to anyone who cares anymore....)! Speaking of holidays, it has certainly been a good two weeks away from the site! TEKK'S WORLD has not even been looked at by the Great One in at least a week, and TEKK can't really say he missed it much(TEKK doesn't get paid for this!)....but after some time away, TEKK feels rejuvinated! The big rant about the whole stolen credit card B.S. will just have to wait until TEKK gets more info.......now that TEKK has changed banks, they will probably jerk him around even longer! ARRRGGHHH!!! Next subject please.....

Well, TEKK told THE PEOPLE about his tickets to WCW Monday NITRO, did anyone see the Great One on TV? Just for the record TEKK was the one holding the signs that read; "Kidman's balls are bigger than Hogan's bald spot!", and "Jensen is a HOMO!". The first sign got TEKK the most attention of the night. First, a WCW Magazine photographer took a picture of TEKK holding the sign, then when "Hulk" Hogan(or Stone Cold Terry Bollea as he will soon be called.....) came down the isle he looked over at TEKK, saw the sign, read the sign, and GAVE TEKK THE MEANEST STARE OF ALL TIME! I SWEAR, IT'S TRUE! It was hilarious! TEKK also got to touch most of the Nitro Girls(TEKK will leave it at that.....)! The best part of the entire night(in TEKK'S not-so-humble opinion), was when Miss Hancock came out during the commercial break and started to STRIP! Of course, before she got too far(or far enough, depending on who you are....), Terry Taylor came out and pulled her off the stage to a HUGE round of BOOOoooooos. Anyway, TEKK'S other sign referred to Mr. P.P. himself, Todd Jensen, and his latent sexual preference for men(or maybe just himself....). Of course there was a reason for taking that sign to Nitro, which was basically an initiation into the most sacred of secret societies: The Hoodlums! But until TEKK is officially a member he must hold his tongue....

If THE PEOPLE haven't noticed yet, there have been quite a few changes made to the site. First, TEKK decided to put the Quick Link Nav. bar at the bottom of EVERY page on the site(for obvious reasons). Second, TEKK jumped a little bit ahead of himself and bought new home theater speakers(they were the last ones, and they don't make them any more, so there!), and the surrounds are up on the Home Theater page for viewing pleasure, but the new towers for the front are still in shipment as TEKK speaks so as soon as they arrive(WEDNESDAY) look for them also! And lastly, TEKK'S Links page now has what he likes to call THE TEKKENIZER! This cool little contraption takes whatever words you type into the text box, and converts them to speech! Finally THE PEOPLE can HEAR the Great One say all of his catch phrases! Three easy steps: 1) type anything you want into the text area(no capital letters!) 2)choose a voice type(TEKK'S voice is default) 3)If any of your words are considered profanity you must check the box appropriately, then click "SAY IT!"! Have Fun! TEKK sure did! Til' next week...

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -4/4/00

Hey! TEKK had better just jump right into things today, before he flips his lid waiting for the UPS guy to deliver The Phantom Menace VHS!(Arrgh...damn you George Lucas!) Let's just hope it's in one piece...even TEKK doesn't trust UPS, and he works for them!

Hmmm....what first.....(give TEKK a damn minute....sheesh!) Ahh, this past sunday was WWF WrestleMania, and TEKK had all of his loyal subjects(friends) in attendance, Jeremy(who wasn't supposed to make it, but did!) and Christina(who arrived late because of work), Laura(she was really quiet though...or maybe TEKK had the volume too high....oops!), Kelly(who HAD to enjoy all the sweaty men in their little tights), Paul(who probably fell asleep!) and of course Todd (who was playing with his "cell phone" (*wink**wink*) every time he saw some T&A....)TEKK hopes that they all had a good time. TEKK damn sure did! It's great to get all your friends together in one place once in a while, even though Mark couldn't make it....alas, maybe next time.....

Anyway, just this past week, TEKK got a new 6-Disc DVD/CD changer for his home theater! It replaces BOTH his 5-Disc CD changer and DVD player, by combining the two components into one! Now TEKK has more room for other stuff(a CD recorder is next on the list, RIGHT TRINA....) in his component cabinet. A picture and description should be up on TEKK'S Home Theater Page by the time THE PEOPLE read this. By the way TEKK has TWO new polls for THE PEOPLE to participate in, on (DUH!) TEKK'S Polls Page, so go already!

Well, next week TEKK will have a big rant about a recent incident that involved the pilfering of his credit card number by, at this time an unknown ASSailent! Let's hope that by this time next week TEKK knows a little more about this CANDY-ASS, so he can verbally LAY THE SMACK DOWN!

Your Role, Know It.
Your Mouth, Shut It.

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -3/28/00

Welcome to the third installment of TEKK'S weekly commentary! First, (this has to be said)TEKK just saw a commercial for the stupidest thing he has ever seen....The Real Living Baby....what the HELL! This thing is basically a freakish puppet that you manipulate using your hands to look like you are holding a living baby....billed as "the next Tickle Me Elmo"! HA!

Now this really pissed TEKK off! This past Sunday evening the Academy Awards were held and by some f***ing retarded twist of fate "THE MATRIX" beat "STAR WARS: EPISODE 1- THE PHANTOM MENACE" for the "best visual effects" Oscar! Hey don't get TEKK wrong, the Matrix is one of his all-time favorite movies, but there is no way in HELL that it could have beaten Episode 1 in the visual FX department! Come on! Star Wars had countless photo-realistic CG (main, and supporting) characters! Jar Jar (how ever annoying THE PEOPLE think he is)was completely believable! As far as TEKK is concerned this is a travesty! TEKK demands a recount!(By the way, TEKK would like to congratulate Kevin Spacey on his Oscar win for "best actor" in "American Beauty", he just so happens to be one of TEKK'S favorite actors and long overdue for an Academy Award!)

Speaking of controversy, this past weekend Eric Bischoff RETURNED as creative director of WCW! As soon as he was back in power he brought VINCE RUSSO BACK to help with the creative side of WCW's on air production and storylines(which have been lacking as of late...). If THE PEOPLE didn't know, Bischoff was the vice president and lead creative honcho in WCW for seven years, in which time he brought WCW to the top of its game with record breaking ratings. But, after a dry spell in WCW, he was given the boot and repaced by Russo(who had left the WWF as head writer to come to WCW). Well, the FIRST thing that Russo said when he took over was that a turnaround in the ratings would be at least six months away, if not longer, no matter what anyone did....but the higher ups were impatient to say the least, and gave him all of two months before replacing him! Needless to say, things didn't fare any better for his replacement(actually much worse)! Now, Bischoff and Russo are by no means friends, but they have decided to work together to make WCW the #1 wrestling federation once again! TEKK believes without a doubt that Russo(who was responsible for the WWF's recent rise to greatness) and Bischoff(who was the mastermind behind one of the greatet wrestling storylines ever, the n.W.o.) will turn WCW upside-down and inside-out! This is great news, especially since TEKK will be attending the April 17th edition of WCW Monday NITRO Live! at the Rockford Metro Centre! THE PEOPLE damn well better be keeping their eyes open for TEKK, who will be sitting right next to the railing on the aisle where the wrestlers come down to the ring! See THE GREAT ONE on TV!

Your Role, Know It.
Your Mouth, Shut It.

TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -3/21/00

Well, well, well, what to rant about FIRST....TEKK will just start by saying that "Hulk" Hogan really needs to f***ing retire or just plain step off the damn pedistal and give someone else(who is most assuredly more deserving) a chance to step up to the next level! Alas, Hogan's ego is so completely inflated that he can't, no, won't let himself see the truth....which is painfully obvious to the rest of the world(for TEKK'S sake HULK, do something about that stupid hair of yours, you look like f***ing Bozo the clown, God rest his soul..). TEKK has watched as this 50-something wrestling legend has all but ruined any chance at going out gracefully. Instead he insists on denying that his old, no move selling, no crowd drawing, egotistic, back-stabbing ass is past his prime! TEKK thinks it's ironic, to the point of hilarity, that his current storyline has taken the turn it did last night on NITRO. SID turns on Hogan in the main event because Hogan kept stealing the spotlight from SID at every turn...isn't it IRONIC....don't cha' think? HA!

Anyway, on to more important things(more important than Pro Wrestling? Alas...it be true...). TEKK was just recently speaking with a good friend(who shall remain nameless), about the recent, and not-so recent actions of her mother. TEKK will call this so-called "mother", Mrs. Jones. Now remember, TEKK has never met Mrs. Jones personally, but that in no way effects TEKK'S decision to NOT give her the benefit of the doubt when it comes to her actions as a parent (TEKK trusts his friend)! It just totally blows TEKK away every time he finds out another immature, selfish or rude thing that she has done or said to one of her own children! Maybe it is just TEKK but, most parents these days have no interest in seeing to the well-being of anyone but themselves. It's almost as if they are only doing the bare minimum when it comes to caring for their own damn children(everyone has seen these jabronies at the grocery store...)! Now, TEKK realizes that the world in general has gotten a lot tougher to live in lately, but this is no excuse for not being there for your own flesh and blood. TEKK knows all about hardships within a family, but has been lucky enough to have a family that no matter what conflict was abound still cared about the well-being of one another, and would never drive one away to make things easier on the rest(although TEKK wished it a few times...hey, who hasn't). And TEKK can guarandamntee you Mrs. Jones, you WILL REAP WHAT YOU SOW. Some day, maybe soon, when you are in need of care or love or companionship, your daughters will not be there.....and no one but YOURSELF will be to blame. You were the one that (basically)forced your daughter to quit college, to get another job, so she could afford to move out and get away from you! When your daughter needed your help to get through the tough time that is college, you sat on your ass and did nothing(but watch TV).... TEKK will have no sympathy for you when you have nothing, and no one to turn to....isn't it ironic.....don't cha' think?

As Usual It Was Your Pleasure- TEKK


TEKK'S TANTRUMS! -3/13/00

Well, the time has come for TEKK to take a more active role in his website. With so many odd occurrances going on around him THE GREAT ONE has felt more and more compelled to speak his mind. It didn't come down to one thing, but a multitude of them actually... So from this point on, TEKK will be verbally LAYING THE SMACK DOWN on all subjects, people, events, etc., that pique his interest, piss him off, or just plain need to be discussed. As always, THE PEOPLE'S opinions don't matter, but can be stated nonetheless through E-mail(or the NEW message board, read on).... For now THE GREAT ONE'S commentary, entitled TEKK'S TANTRUMS, will be up weekly(possibly more soon...), and will be located right here on the HOME PAGE.

TEKK would like also to bring to THE PEOPLE'S attention some of the changes recently made to his site. First off, the QUICK LINKS nav. bar has been relocated to the HOME PAGE to make site navigation much faster, and easier to access than before. Also recently added is, TEKK'S MESSAGE BOARD, where THE PEOPLE can ask THE GREAT ONE questions, comment on the site, or state their opinions on recent editions of the TEKK'S TANTRUMS weekly commentary. And finally, TEKK'S POLLS page is up with interactive polls and surveys, so stop by and try them out already dammit!

As usual it's been your pleasure -TEKK >; \
