July 28, 2002 - shagadelic
Well, I saw the one and only Goldmember last night at the drive-in. It was pretty good I guess... except for Beyonce being in it. Anyways, it's a brand new week, there's a brand new song, and there's a brand new poll. So check those out.
Besides that, not too much is going on. I see that life is passing a lot of people by these days. They just don't take the time to enjoy it. "May you live all the days of your life." It's sad to say, but not many people do truly "live"... they just go through the motions.

You're eyes are not deceiving you... that is the Joe-man himself with the wild boar he shot. That thing is 145 pounds of pure meat. Oh, and the boar is 255 pounds.

Day of the Day - Parents' Day
U.S. Code says that the fourth Sunday in July is officially Parents' Day, which serves to "recognize, uplift, and support the role of parents in bringing up their children." I bet you didn't know that, did you?
July 29, 2002 - wax on, wax off
I think yesterday must have been movie day or something. I watched Teen Wolf, The Karate Kid, and Orange County. I have to say I was quite disturbed by the drunken binge scene of Mr. Miyagi in The Karate Kid... I must have forgot about that. Anyways, I was thinking a bit about what I said yesterday about life passing people by. I think it's kinda passing me by, too. I really think I need to take action before something amazing slips right out of my hands. That happens way too much these days.

Wow, amazing... I wish I had that action figure. It comes with the "Secrects of Miyagi" Scroll! I guess the true path to karate lies in the purchase of several action figures and learning a new lesson from Mr. Miyagi himself with each one. (Hopefully, the next lesson will be on "Auto-Release"... I've always wanted to do that.)

Short(ened) Poem of the Day: The ways of fate (based on this poem)

Life:
A soul,
Its goal.
The strife.
July 30, 2002 - it's a naval mission, sir
What should I talk about up here? No idea. I don't have much to talk about... Actually, I got a few suggestions for my rambles page, so that's pretty cool. I've been working on those, they should be up tomorrow. Another self-realization today... I'm a very straight forward person. I like when people are honest with me. And when I'm nice to people, it's because I legitimately want to be nice to them, not just because I want to be a nice guy. I guess the majority of my friends are pretty straight forward, too. That's probably why I'm friends with them.

Aww... how cute! This is my cat when it was like one and so was I. We grew up together... I used to kick her and hit her with my blanket. We go way back. Anyways, she was put to sleep yesterday, because she was old and decrepit. Nonetheless, she was a cute cat in her livelihood.

Weirdo Quote of the Day: The Belly Button Lint Collector Man

"Over the last 18 years my navel has accumulated an average of 3.03 milligrams of fluff each day, with little variation between one day and the next. Weighing such small quantities with any accuracy requires a large sample collected over a long period, and I doubt that many people have done this, so its not known whether the volume of fluff generated by my navel is any indication of what is normal." 
July 31, 2002 - 1 cheeseburger = $39.50
Yikes, I was feeling rather awful before I went to sleep last night. I think I'm okay now. I was probably just tired and cranky. Anyways, I went to six flags again last night, and we saw the whale show and stuff. Some elderly woman was kicked out because she brought her own food in. And that's absolutely ridiculous. There's NO reason why people shouldn't be able to bring their own food in, except for the fact that Six Flags wants people to waste their money on their $6 hamburgers and $4 drinks. Ah well. And then last night, Joe and I continued our Tuesday night movie tradition and watched John Q. It was actually pretty good. It makes you think about how money really can cause so much pain. If only people lived in Larry's moneyless world.

That would be Steve-o's season pass to six flags. Look familiar?

Andy Dick Quote of the Day - On Positive Child Reinforcement

"My efforts to say nothing but positive things to my son have become desperate. 'You're the best, smartest, cutest, friendliest baby, you're...telekinetic. You move objects with thought and start fires with your brain.'"
August 1, 2002 - rabbit rabbit
Yesterday was the first day of the 185th Street fair. I'll be there every night for the next few days (except saturday, of course). Sure, the food isn't very good, the music isn't all that great, and the rides suck, but it's still a fun place to hang out... if for nothing else but seeing people you know (and making fun of people you don't). And I'm still rambling away here, I have about five or six more rambles to upload, but I'll upload them all at once when I'm completely done. Aside from that, there's not a lot going on.

Sheesh... I know gas prices were rising, but this is ridiculous!

Lyric of the Day - Tomorrow's Another Day by MXPX

"There's nothing quite like being sure of what's inside your heart."
August 2, 2002 - plumbers are sexy
I went the the fair once again last night, but this time I spent a lot of time with the Paulman. You know, I confuse people a lot... with the things I say and do, I guess. I mean, of course I confuse people; I confuse myself! I really wish I always didn't have these two conflicting sides. One part of me thinks with my heart and only sees the good in people (and I screw myself over as a result of it). The other part thinks with my head and doesn't really see much good (and I'm an asshole as a result of it). There seems to be a constant struggle within myself. Not like anything that upsets me... but I constantly change my mind about very important things. And if you know me, I'm sure you know exactly what I talk about. And speaking of knowing exactly what I'm talking about, Michelle and Chelsea submitted the beautiful poem "URSJ".. named after the infamous conversation with Steve-O.

Why is it the image of the day, you ask? Why the hell not? It's my website, isn't it? I can put up any damn picture I want, even if it's a picture of a guy wearing a plumber shirt listening to some sort of orgasmic music. So bug off.

August 3, 2002 - sock it to the rocket
Guess what I did last night??? I know what you're gonna say... "you probably just went up to the fair again, Ross." Well, screw you, I can do whatever I want. Don't judge me. You don't even know me. Damn. Anyways, after the fair, Joe, Larrold, and I went to my house and watched Memento. Good movie. And right now, Larry and I are chilling listening to Avril Lavigne. She's a sexy hunk of a woman.

This is an image of the first successful rocket launch from Cape Canaveral back in July of 1950. It's called Bumper 2, and it flew 400 kilometers high. It and rockets like it were used to measure attributes like air temperature and cosmic ray impacts. Eight years later, NASA was formed.
 

Word of the Day - sockdologer

Ever hear of the phrase "sock it to 'em!" That's what "sock" is short for. Betcha didn't know that.
