- Many exciting things have happened in the porn industry. Yep. At least one. I don't know of any examples, but considering it's an industry where people figured out how to get paid to have sex, I'm sure there must be some pretty good stories. =)

- I tend to wonder about extra-terrestrial life quite a bit. I think it's a fascinating subject. I can talk about that and Mars for much longer than anyone wants me to. I read somewhere that the British believe they have recently proven the existence of antimatter and claim that this helps their theoretical warp engine ideas. Read about their tragic attempts to break the sound barrier and consider this new idea again. >:) Assuming British Airways succeeds in adding intergalactic routes to their flight plans and assuming that we succeed in finding another planet with life forms on it, let's think about that for a minute. What if the life forms there are not as advanced (HA!) as we are? What if the most advanced life form on that planet is comparable to a bear sized dog? How long would it take before somebody has one stuffed and mounted in their living room? It has to be the most exotic hunting expedition imaginable. I put the question to Slappy while at work and he said the answer is simple. Add the time it takes for news of the discovery to reach America to the time it takes for a two way trip and I'll have my answer. Considerably faster than I thought it would be, but he's probably right. And here I thought -I- was the most cynical person in the store. I laughed when he said that he can't wait to get one for himself. We're such a violent species. Now imagine the consequence if there turns out to be a species equally or more advanced than us who lives underground on that planet and knows of our hunting trips to their planet. Now imagine if the subterranean culture is discovered by Steve Irwin. Fun food for thought.

- Mormons are funny. They deserve cell phones. I love my cell phone. I don't get a lot of calls on it (because I neglect my friends) but it allows me to do my job easier and it's great for killing time calling random people while driving to Atlanta to visit Voyn. It also has a wonderful memo feature so I can leave myself notes that I forget about for weeks on end. Just like Post-It notes! It comes in really handy when I remember or think about something nifty while driving and I don't need to try to scrawl a note on the bills I keep scattered in the back seat for convenient neglect. I was recording a memo while driving up a really steep and curvy hill when I saw some Mormons. You know the ones I'm talking about. You always see them dressed up in ties and starched clothing while riding their bikes around town. Today they were flew by me down the hill either racing each other (how cute!) or trying to escape the crazed driver of the Mercedes that was hot on their tails. I couldn't help but laugh at either prospect. The second possibility is pretty straight-forward but the first one made me smirk as I thought about it longer. They've always seemed so reserved (repressed?) and calm so seeing the pair of them hunched down over the handlebars trying to go faster in hopes of beating the other seemed contrary to what I expected. What next? If they're starting to get rowdy we might start hearing of them turning up at monster truck rallies. Maybe not, but wouldn't that be amusing?

- It's official. I'm old(er). This happened a few days ago, but I've been trying to remember the actual number for a while and actively trying not to succeed. Crap. Gotta go to work now. The puppy is doing well. It's becoming less and less der Sheisspanzer. That's a good thing. Fucker is growing faster than kudzu. I thought it was going to be a nice small lap-dog like the people at the shelter said, but it's obviously not going to be. My father got me tbe best birthday card. You'll have to see it to appreciate it. It involves a SWAT team.

- Life seems infinitely more precious when you don't believe in an afterlife.

- Quick overview: I bought a puppy on Tuesday. Brought it home on Wednesday. Discovered that my digital camera has dead batteries Wednesday night. I goof off on EQ for the next several days between working, sleeping, and playing with the stll un-named puppy. I've gotta do something about that. He's really cute and although they said he was a lab mix, it looks like the dominant mix is pit-bull since those are his markings. I was going to put up a poll to see what people thought his name should be (mind you I never give a pet a name that makes sense so the choices would be things like DotCom, Shagnasty, Happy Scrappy Hero Pup, Optimus Pr0n, etc. Oh, someone asked me for my autograph today. He said that my driving style was quite memorable. I wasn't as pleased when he told me that I owed him money. Drat! And I was all excited that this month all the speeding tickets that are on my record were going to fall off since it's been three years. Just when I was about to have a clean driving record for the first time since I was 15...
