Wait ! Don't Flush That Toilet !!

I do not know about y'all, but I thought the toilet was exit only. It has two uses, to dispose of RANCID FECES and to grip when you have had just a little too much HUNCH PUNCH, but in this great big world of ours, some restaurant owners have taken a new angle on the toilet. I am not talking about using for bathing, I'm talkin bout : SOUP IS SERVED .... if you do not believe me, then check this out !!!

I came across an ineresting site today.. it is called Hobopoet, run by AJ Hoge, his site chronicles his life living in a car, living all over the world and how he did it... his site included a link to Whywork.org , a very interesting site that contained this quote :

"Material wealth is not an indicator of one's success on this earth; happiness is, at least for me. Don't get me wrong, I love money. I adore it and all the things it can attain, but not at the expense of my soul. I believe true fulfillment can only come by being brutally honest with yourself, and staying true to oneself. Being forced to wake up each morning at an un-godly hour and mindlessly conform to a society which is suffering from acute brain atrophy is certainly not the path to self-fulfillment. There has to be a better way. Do I have the answer? No, but at least I have recognized the problem, and surely that is the first step towards rectification.

Craig Mannelli"

My question is this- I read the article and agreed with many points that Craig was making. Am I alone in my thoughts ? Does one get a more fulfilling life he actually does not fall into the trap of the 40 hour work week ? Can you obtain more happiness by doing many different things in your life and not be trapped ? I have seen all to many people tell me that I wish I could've done this or gone to that place... well why don't you ? It's never to late !! Ian

Drop everything and run while you can... looks like the Patriot Act was extended for 10 more years !!! Whoopee !! That is dandy. More of our civil liberties are slowly being eroded away because like they say.... a few bad apples spoil the bunch. When will America wake up and put down their starbucks. I am talking about the youth, we must be ready to stand up and act out against these attrocities. More on this later....

Birthday Gift Idea #1

This is the phone that I must have.... so if you would like to donate 2 cents or even $5 dollars to the fund, I would greatly appreaciate it. I will set up an area on my site where users can donate money to my paypal account. Or you can spread the message around to all your friends. My birthday is a month away on the 26th of August.. so instead of getting shitfaced this weekend, please support the Ian needs a modern phone fund. If you can't find that phone in the USA ...then this old thing will do !! HOLLA.... Throw Your Diamonds Up ------->!!DIAMONDS FOREVER !!

What ever happend to Ricki Lake ?

Let me tell you about last weekend. !!! Friday Went to Fabolous, I mean Famous Pub like we seem to be doing way more often than I like to acknowledge. The usual crew was there. Joe, Alex, Justin, Matt Rey, Jasmine, Trey, Myself, and a new recruit, named Jonathon. The night started off with me driving. It was my turn unfortunately, which meant less to drink, but it also meant less $ spent on beer and chicken wings. When we got there, I saw Drew Turner and Beau Billington, and Patsy Horne. Time had been well to 2 out of 3. If you can guess the old maid, then I will buy you a non-alcoholic beer. Someone really let themselves go. But they seem to have an interesting job !! I was then challenged to play pool from Norwood and Lil Joe. My partner was my trusty sidekick Alex. We were going to kick some Paleskin Ass !! Turns out, we lost, but in the 2nd game I was holding my own. I knocked all the balls in. With the exception of the 8 Ball. Ever wonder why it is called the 8 Ball ? So did I. So I sent my investigative journalist down to uncover the story. I am afraid to report that you are not going to like what you see. The origins of the 8 Ball. I told you that you were not going to like it. It is like finding a family of trolls in your belly button. The night got better though. It got better with the magical power of dance. Not Michael Flatly dance, but good old fashioned Kid N Play dance. The rhythm was in the air, the feet were tapping, and the guys were on the floor. But where were the ladies ? That is a good question. That is always a good question when we get on the dance floor. The ladies did show up and were oh so impressed with Alex's impression of the worm or centipide or the legless lizard. Whatever it was, Jasmine & I were speechless. Joe did not back it up as much as he did in the past, I guess he got his quota in for the month of July. What about yours truly ? Yes kiddies, I got up there and did my best "run overed squirrel impression" . To all the ladies out there, I was taught by Mr. Patrick Swayze himself. All it takes is determination. We then sat around, drank some more, and heard about Matt Rey & Justin drooling over some waitress. This girl was good, but not that good looking. She was all over every guy in the place. I am sure she walked away with quite a few tips and phone numbers that night. I just have one thing to say to the guys who fell for it -- oh well, they're guys, better luck next time. Saturday Saturday was pretty repetitive. Got up, went to the gym drunk, sweated out salty buckets of Miller Lite & Vodka w/lime and felt pretty weak afterwards. I then did not do much. I think I watched some Nip/Tuck (my favorite new show) I can identify with Christian Troy so much. I think I got the right character. One thing I have noticed is that there are no brothers, asians, or mexicans in southern Florida. I wonder if this is true. Who is gonna pick my oranges. Speaking of oranges, I heard an interview of NPR the other day about these huge buses that come to Atlanta to recruit African American homeless people and offer them jobs and hot food, in exchange that they come down to florida to work. Many accept the job, but once they do they are forced to keep working. They orange farm owners make the ex-homeless people pay for the gas, the bus ride and the food that they used to bait them in with in the first place. The report also mentioned that many of the ex-homeless orange pickers were paid in drugs and alcohol. I know of a couple of people who wouldn't even need a resume to land that job. Saturday Continued Sorry about that, my mind wandered. Let's see, the plan was to go see Weezer at the free 99x concert down town at 5 points. Like clock work , it rained AGAIN !! This rain is starting to get ridiculus. We still went downtown and met up with Nasty's sister - Little Ricky. We used to call her that because I thought she looked like a minature version of Ricki Lake. She used to hate that !! It really is true that I make up a nickname for everyone. Well we got there and there was no BOOZ, nothing, nada. My eyes got real sad looking. I have that down to a science. I stuck out my hand and said, please sir, may I have some more ? No I didn't. I was very upset. But I heard that relief was on the way. Allison's neighbor was kind enough to offer us some of his beer. He had some of everything. Then more guest showed up and we had more beer. All I kept thinking was the Dione Warwick song - That's what friends are for . It was so beautiful. Before I knew it, I had kicked back a couple of beers and was off to my old perverted ways of turning into one of the Nasty Boys Yes that is right, the Nasty Boys. I do not know when it started, but it is a part of my every day struggle to survive. Call it a perverted case of Terret's syndrome. Well we then drank some more and attempted to watch a boxing match. Got bored quickly. Here's a hint Jeffry- get some freakin volume. So lame, so lame. Joe & I proceeded to head down stairs when Joe got the bright idea that I steal some beer. Sounded good to me. I went and found an unwatched 12 pack and grabbed it with my beady little hands and were off. We rushed off to Nasty's chamber to present our offerings, and he took it the complete opposite way of what we expected. You just can't please some people. We left 4 or 5 beers in his fridge, for our trouble and then returned the beer, to be caught red handed. We told our hostess that we had to give Nasty some beer STAT, so that he would not pass out from dehydration. Clever thinking from Old Ian as usual. Once that was over with, we still were thirsty so we went banging on doors until one opened. We walked into a new condo that was about the same size as Nasty's. Just a little differently laid out. We talked with the host and found out alot about him. He turned out to be a swell guy + his girl was looking good (if that was his girl) About 20 or 30 minutes passed and Alex finally walks in. He joins in the conversation and has some very good input. I think that once I heard him say hmmm. I can't be too sure, I had been drinking from grandpa's medicine cabinet. Time flew and Joe remined us that Marta was dead. Gasp ! I thought as I scratched my head and then rubbed the couch ever so gingerly. "What are we going to do ?" I asked. "Fuck it", Joe replied. Sounded good to me, and I dropped my trousers and had my way with the couch. 3 minutes later I told everyone that seriously y'all are sick peeping toms for watching and that next time you can find me at strokers on lean. We then left and I found myself on the floor. It turns out that non-drunk / non-violent Joe accidently rammed me into a wall, ...again. So I got back up and we left for the second time. We were lucky to have Alex drive us, he is such a good friend. Otherwise he would have to get on his knees and earn his ride home. It is a good thing it was him and not me, because the "Johns" like it when the dome-master has brushed their teeths. The end of the story. If you have any similar stories, please let me know. HOLLA

The Meat Button

The plan was to go to bed at 12:00 p.m. but that did not work out !! Instead, I got the image of the "meat button" in my head. What is a "meat button" you might ask ? A meat button is something that I found I had from Nasty Dancer. I was born with a soft spot on the back of my head. Or I was put in the travel machine from The Fly, with a jelly fish or possibly a soft shell crab that I was unaware of. When I came out of the machine, I found that I was not so hard headed after all. It doesn't hurt, or bleed on it's own. It really does not do anything special, but everyone at the Northland thinks otherwise. The main culprit/resident sicko NASTY DANCER seems to have plans for the meat button. It is very strange. Nasty says it reminds him of the old tropicana orange juice ads where someone would jab a straw into an orange and suck out the juice. I do not know where he gets these sick ideas from, and I don't want to know. But, if for some reason someone mentions it at the office, all hell breaks loose and very graphic and sexually explicit desires are expressed on my "meat button" ! It is very frightening and the only thing I know to do is retreat into my office and turn the lights off and get in the corner screaming out NO DIRT !! NO DIRT !! over and over while rubbing my chest. That temporarily brings closure to the subject. Sometimes the meat button gets transformed into a "meat nugget" which is even more scary for Old Ian. I really do not know what to do anymore. One thought is, I could get my hair conked and not have to worry about it, because my hair would be a greasy mess, the other thing is to convert to Judaism, so I could wear a yomacah. Is this normal behavior or am I just over worrying... only time will tell !! Until next time kiddies !!! Old Ian

Online business

I recently came across a web store front that seems like a pretty good idea... I am going to see if I can make a go at it... I should have some results up by friday, in the mean time this will have to tide you over !! THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID !!

New Blogs

Hello Kiddies, I know it has been a long time since I updated this blog, and that is because I have been seeing a different blog, a sexier blog, a blog that makes me feel like a man. I made the switch over to typepad. I do have some good news though. I have been accepted into the Bachelor of Interdiscplinary studies at GSU, well that was a while ago, while I was in the application process, I spoke with Yuki Takatori, the head of the Asian studies center, and I told her I was interested in studying abroad. I filled out some applications there, I applied to schools in Japan, Thailand, and China for a year long study abroad with an emphasis on international business. I have been accepted into the University of Bangkok and have decided to take up this opportunity. I can't wait. Props to Professor Takatori, she really came through. Currently things are not going so great at the NORTHLAND. My boss is freaking out more and more and it is starting to eat away at me. I could use a good change of scenery. So I have started to save money for my trip. I should have more than enough by the time January rolls around, cause that is when I am out of here. I am so excited. For part of my coursework, I will be a part time TEFL teacher. Teaching about 15 hours a week. I hope the experience is great. I have been doing alot of research on AJARN- the ultimate Thai Teacher Portal. In Other News... You Can Check out my two new blogs here and here That is all for now. I am trying to set up my blogs so that when one is updated, it will update the other two. Give me time, but for now, bookmark all three. Ta Ta For Now !!

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension

This weekend was a bluuurrrr.... Friday Night, worked out, went to South Carolina/Georgia to pick up Sailor Moon. We walked into Moon's church/ excuse for a school and were unpleasantly surprised to see hymn singing at 10:00 on a Friday night, I really do not have it bad after all. There was a creepy guy playing piano, and he looked downright scary. I introduced myself and lurch answered with a non handshake !! It felt so wierd and akward. I also met Roy from St. Croix. He seemed pleasant enough. He did not say much and I guess that is why he was pleasant =). We left the compound and went to the BP. I needed COFFEE. I paid for Joe's coffee. That fool owes me like $10,000 in non discritionary income. I will get paid, oh yes, I will get paid, one way or the other. I know of a good booty, err bounty hunter, named Nasty, there is also Treybein, I guess he can choose the lesser of the 2 evils. Joe did not like his french vanilla capacino. He should have known, we were in the middle of the twilight zone. I digress, my 3/4 coffee 1/4 hot chocolate mix was good. I offered him some, but he refused. The rest of the trip continued as follows.... bla bla bla.. singing Gwen Stefani, bla bla bla, we hate RAZORLIGHT, bla bla, ian is the best person ever !!! We finally got home around 1:00 or 1:30... I went to bed. Saturday- Woke up at 7:30, called the gym and was placed in the 9:30 class. Made some coffee, scratched my butt, and surfed the net and checked email for a little while, then headed to the gym for my regiment. I forgot to wash my previous day's workout garb, so after 20 minutes of working out/cardio, I was a dirty dirty smelly punk. I felt bad for everyone who had to endure the wrath. Oh well, that is what they get. I finished the workout and took a shower. Oh the joy of warm showers !!. Went back to the office and vacummed the whole place. It took about and hour. I then got the call from Treybein, he reminded me that I had previously rsvp'd a lunch with him at Front Page News, where he works. It was all you can eat Crawdad, crayfish, or whatever day for $10.99.... also got a call from Lay-Z & Chi Chi, they tagged along for the trip. Lunch was fun. We drank on some refreshing Sam Addams summer brew, 3 pitchers, and then Chi Chi & Treybein had some mamosa's. In total, I had about 15 crawfish before I got tired of em. It is too much work, for little reward. Also I cut my finger. See what I mean !! We left Front Page News slighty buzzing and went back to Cruella's abode. Everything was good until Cruella found us on his porch. Sorry Cruella, but I was innocent. Anyways... it wasn't my fault. And please next time DO NOT BE SO DRAMATIC... there is a time and place for JOAN CRAWFORD, and 5:00 p.m. is not ONE OF THEM !!!!.....but I regress, one should not hold a grudge. =) Well once we were booted from Treybein & Cruella's place we went back home and put on some classic Battle For The Planet Of The Apes goodness and waited around. It was MATT Rey's day of birth and we had to celebrate. (Actually it was last Tuesday, but who pays attention to the minor details) Matt Rey takes it upon himself to have a generous portion of Jim Bean and coke. I would have suggeseted Diet coke, but that is just me. Also Matt Rey kept swearing that he would not do anything to make himself throw up later on. ALLLRIIGHT was my autoresponse. We parted ways with Lay-Z and headed to Pancho's. The place was jumping, like it always is. I guess it is because the weather was perfect and the patio had cantadores autentico. (Authentic Singers) Justin & I split a pitcher of Heart-Burn inducing frozen Margaritas. First three glasses were ok and then OH NO, it was something awful !!... no one ate their food.. it was not good at all, it was a step down from Purina Dog Food, but the chips were good. Matt Rey thought the waitress was in love with him, and he was right, she loves pets.... just kidding Matt Rey... it's all to the good... we left after an hour and half and were on our way to Famous Pub... it was dark and mysterious like it always is. DJ SuckAss was spinning and as usual there were few on the dance floor.... IT WAS TIME TO PROCURE Matt Rey some refreshments... 9 rounds of drinks, two pool games, 4 air hockey, two failed dance attempts, and Jasmine's BOOTY DANCING , which was unexpected, but welcomed, Matt Rey was a goner. We got home and the guys began to wrestle. Which strangely as it seems, is not that unusual. Matt Rey then puked after all and once he was done, he walked and then fell on the ground, it looked pretty painful, then we gave him his birthday punches, and proceede to pick him up. It was not 3:00 in the morning and enough was enough. Time to go to bed. Sunday- Sailor Moon went to church with us, I took him home, and we parted ways, that was the last I saw of him. At 3:00 I met with my dad and we met my mom aka McMom's, my brother and his girlfriend at Mick's in downtown. Everyone had a good time and we always have good conversations. At 4:30 I was stuffed. I ate a Feta Cheese / Roasted Red Pepper burger that was delicous. At 6:00 I was back home , laying down on the couch. At 6:45 the gang was back at the house and we were on our way to see Batman Begins, but first we had to watch Family guy. Genious, Peter found out he was retarded and they put a "Special Dad" sign in the yard. We laughed, we cried, we knitted sweaters, but it was the time spent together that counted. Batman begins was great, it was an action movie that actually had a story and a reason for the action. Christian Bale is great in everything he's in. Liam Neeson rounds off the cast. But my favorite actor was Michael Cane... even in his old age, he can always turn the audience to his favor and provide comic relief at the most appropriate times. SEE BATMAN.... that is all for now folks... my hand is craming up.... it is hard to just type with one hand... wink wink... See ya lata SUCKA's.. Ian.... aka The Urban Socrates

The Week That Was(n't....)

Hello kiddies, I love saying that. It reminds me of the cryptkeeper who I gew up watching on HBO... sometimes the cryptkeeper would knock on my door in the middle of the night, then he would stand over me and just breath, this ritual continued for intervals of 3 minutes for a total of 21 minutes every night from age 7 through 23... those were trying times for Old Ian... goood stuff.... Quick Re-cap of the week... Saturday...

HobbyLobby

Am I coming in clear ? Can you hear me ? ... I can hear you... Now that we have that settled.. let's proceed... Where have I been for 2 weeks ? I will tell you... I have been here in ClarkGanistan... search for it on google.... to some it is known as Clarkstonia to others... it is simply known as Wonkaland.... The subject of this blog is I need a new hobby... I will tell you what I do now to occupy my time and feel free to enlighten me onto healthy or unhealthy alternatives..

1. Staring at my toenails...... then peeling them off and pouring hotsauce in my gaping toe wounds and then sealing them up with peanut butter and nutella...
2. Shaving my tounge when I run out of toothpaste... cheaper than buying toothpaste... we always keep old hairy razors around the place..
3. Making strange faces for 2 minutes at a time... always 2 minutes .. NEVER 3.. NEVER 3...
4. Shuffle imaginary cards....
5. Do common things around the house like sweeping the floor and then proceeding to turn the act into some type of interpretive dance.... you should really see my dance called sweep the floor.... I think I have latin hips cuz they can shake... that's hot...
6. Coming up with new catch phrases to say whenever anyone says anything... ones from the past have been: That's Hot... That's What She Said.... , YEAH YEAH, Kopfgaleschlagen (german) see Soap Dish...., I pulled my weiner, I love lamp, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and then stop !!.....Hammertime
7. Researching articles in the wall street journal extensively until my eyes twitch and bleed
8. Stretching Out like a dog in the front door , so that when someone opens the door, I get hit in the head, and they scratch my belly and behind my ears...
9. Making lightsabers out of popsicle sticks and cockroaches...
10. Having slumber partys with the filthy cockroaches...
11. Milking the little bitty tits on the disturbingly sexy cockroaches.
12. Take long and hot applesauce baths...
13. Stare at someone with a wierd face until I get them to get uncomfortable... then I pull up my draws.... and then put on my marmalade lotion... strange but true...
14. Last but not least... the one that is begginning to scare me is when I dig a hole in the ground about the size of a ripe cantelope and tie my hands behind my back and stick my head in the fresh hole and reenact "The Lord Of The Dance"

This list you see is quite extensive and very normal for a person of my stature.... You might be asking yourselves if I was raised by a pack of wild donkeys in heat... and I will tell you that no I was not raised by wild donkeys in heat... but my stinky pinky finger was... Oh yeah... Don't whiz on the electric fence...

Well Kiddies, I am officially back from Costa Rica.. I had a pretty fun trip overall.. the weather was great, the surfing was spectacular... except for the "shark bite", and everyone there was truly nice and genuine, something u don't always get back at home.... unfortunately..... The day of the trip, my alarm clock was not working very well and I did not wake up early like I had planned, so I forgot my bathing suit, underwear, ipod charger, and a couple of other important things... oh well.... I did not know any of this though until I landed.... I had to borrow the nugget's bathing suit which was a bit too short... most of the europeans wore bikini's anway... once I got over the shock factor of the heat I immediately jumped into the pool, then I jumped into the beach, then I jumped on the bed, and then I jumped into bed, I did a whole lot of jumping !! I stayed at the resort Barcelo, a very nice "all inclusive" place that had a very good staff, anything you could want, they had, except for ravioli.... so Marmaduke would not have been happy !!, When I got off the plane, my sunglasses broke, that sucked.... and my Ipod was dying... that sucked as well.... most of the women were beautiful.. as long as they were under 26, once they past that age it is all over for them... very very wierd.... I met some FREAKS down there old and young... I also met some very good dancers and a whole lot of people from Georgia.... some from Dallas, some from Atlanta, I even got really good at spanish, I was amazed at how fast it all came back, I got pretty burnt, and did not bring any sun tan or spf lotion, so I improvised and used some hot sauce..... did not work as well as I had envisioned.... I got to participate in a whole lot of the nightly shows and represented Clarkganistan very well... I won 3 t-shirts and a bottle of wine.... I went kayaking, hiking, went on a string-line, water slide, horseback riding, (mental note- next time wear underwear) , and dancing... made some good friends, ate some good and bad food, tried some gasoline (aka GUARO... aka Costa Rican Rum).... went jogging and tore my foot up and my sandals, met a land survey crew, bought new sandals, those also broke... learned the Merengue, and some other latin dance.... I would recomend the Barcelo resort at Playa Langosta anytime to anyone.... at $750 for everything it was a steal.. considering the average costa rican worker makes $0.66 cents a day... I am talkin about the non tourism industry... that is all for now... I',m audi 5000.... peace in the middle east Ian

Always take your bathing suit.. or this will happen to u.... I never thought it would happen to me !!

Going to Costa Rica Tommorow.. got to make time for a FLEA DIP !!

My eyes are starting to twitch from staring at the computer screen all the time... what is worse is that before I was into computers, my eyes would strain from staring at the tv way to close when I was playing los juegos de video (video games)... when will the madness end... it is Friday and I am still recovering from my Jalepenos incident.. I was pleasantly awoken at 3:30 this morning by a painful pulse in my bowels... I ran to the bathroom and ejected as much as I could out where the sun don't shine if you know what I mean.... it really really hurt and I was left all alone on the toilet with a sore bum... the night before I had some nachos at the braves game .. the tickets cost $1 and sent me to the poor house.... I had a great time.. I went with Rebel Rob, Lil Skeethanisburg, Nasty Dancer, and saw Dr. Dan aka Apple Jack (sometimes Doyle), Daniel Loventhal (my financial adviser) and his brother , and I saw Torben Martin and Drew Turner as well... we kicked ass 9-3 and I got to see the "CHOP-House" and sip on some Tomahawk Brew... , Booser , one of the minions I was with almost got into a fight with a "business man" over the fact that Booser commented that he always wanted a Pink T-Shirt, which, the "business man" was wearing, I do not know what he was thinking, maybe a little too much Christopher Lowell, or maybe not, I couldn't really tell, I thought it was Grey, isn't that wierd, guys are not supposed to wear pink, but if you can't really see it, then it doesn't matter, I know in other parts of the world men can wear pink t-shirts, Cam'Ron, the rapper even made a rap song about it, just some minor ranting, pardon me !!!!, The night was great overall until VIOLENT JOE tore up my Official Braves Raincoat, you just can't take some kids anywhere... he always gets so violent when he drinks, I wonder where he gets it, maybe he isn't getting enough fiber, or Fark is pushing him over the edge, I just don't know... I finally got my mom moved in, this was by far the longest move ever, and I have bruises on my body from her massive antiques... the worst part was when a huge armwoir FLEW out the back of my truck on Dekalb Ave, that was exciting, she freaked out and we had a whole bunch of onlookers, quite embarassing to say the least !!! Alex told me that I could not keep my mom's grill that she gave me , because he just got a new charcoal grill for his birthday, he said that his yard was getting too crowded, I bit my lip and said "OK" and kept it at that.... Looks like I will be going to Costa Rica pretty soon... I sure hope they let in freshly shaved girls (Nugget and Julie) both got Brazilian waxes... I told them that I would hold off on getting one for myself.... the thought of some chick pulling off my pants and giving me a fresh shave with her delicate hands, on second thought perhaps I should make an appointment, only time will tell KIDDIES !!! I have been playing alot of Knights of the old Republic II lately and all I have to say is get it !!, the first one was incredible and the second one is shaping up to be a worthy succesor, it was not made by the same company, it was outsourced..... Work has been pretty good all week, no outburst, no clinched fist, or pounding on the desk, or acting like apes, wait a minute, that happens every day by "Nasty Dancer" he got so excited on Thursday when he found out that everyone had left for the day except for me, that he ran into my back office , jumped off the wall, peeped his head in the door and slamed the door shut as hard as he could and then ran off screaming, WHY LITTLE JOEY ? WHY !!!!!! it was very dramatic, worthy of acting in a B movie, with C list starts, keep practicin Nasty, one day you will shine, We have some real pranksters at the office, I am not naming names, but I always find it amusing on what the guys like to purchase off off flea-bay..... on Tuesday it was a But Plug, on Thursday it was a Garfield Dildo.. but the best was yet to come... http://home.elka.pw.edu.pl/~pgrabow1/kolezka.swf?name=Nasty I got a good laugh out of that.... what else.. I signed up for scooba diving as well as flight lessons.... I will keep y'all informed I will update soon BITCHES

Hello all my faithful crackpots who read this rubbish... looks like it is drawing down to another successfully busy week.... On thursday I met with a financial planner... it was a very interesting meeting we talked about my short and long term financial and emotional needs as well as physical assets.. it turned out to be a two and a half hour conversation.. he now knows too much about me and will have to be systemat

ically eleminiated... always got to keep them guessing is the way I live.... I am now in a much better financial situation than I was a year ago... all my debt is PAID OFF !!... since the start of this year all of my spare money has been applied to old credit card debt or other debt that I have accumulated over the years... it helps that I have a good job that pays well... but it has been stressful... I can finally get that huge chip off my shoulder and learn from my past youthful mistakes... I have learned alot about money and a lot about myself by bending down and looking into a miror.... I am starting school to finish my Civil Engineering degree... in June... that is exciting... I will be taking an intro to Civil Engineering, Microstation, and Pre-Cal.. (YuCK) ... and the year has just started.. I should be able to relax when I go to Costa Rica with the Nugget... oh yeah.. I ACTUALLY WORKED LESS THAN 40 Hours this week..... it has been like 6 months since that happened.. should I feel guilty ? maybe maybe not... I have a pretty nice lifestyle and I work hard because of it..... I added it up and since the first of the year because of truck failure , cell phones, credit cards, mortages.. I have had to pay off like $7000 since the first of the year in addition to everything else I do... excluding gym, internt, cell phone, various trips.. not bad... PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND GO BRAVES,,,, I'm AUDI 5000

Quote Of The Day

Seinfeld Quote #111: Raining blows

FRANK: Many Christmases ago, I went to buy a doll for my son. I reached for the last one they had - but so did another man. As I rained blows opon him, I realized there had to be another way!

KRAMER: What happened to the doll?

FRANK: It was destroyed. But out of that, a new holiday was born. "A Festivus for the rest of us!"

KRAMER: That musta been some kind of doll.

FRANK: She was.

I told you RASPUTIN was at the party !!! 

I see some ladies tonight... who are gonna be having my baby.... baby 

Dude... seriously... get your f*ckin hands off the fur....  

Hi Mom !!! 

When bad girls... go good !!!! 

I can't believe it's not butter !!! 

It's Like 2 Monkeys F*cking A Football !!!

Hey Gang, I have got some stuff to tell you.... Friday.... what happened on Friday oh yes..... the move from HELL !!!... here is what happened... I was asked by alex on Monday to help Anna move a couch she payed for in american dollars from the salvation army..... I said OK...... But there is more.... on Friday I met Anna promptly at 5:00.... we chit chatted, I made her a glass of water and we beat the joint.... we talked about music our likes and dislikes and what she thought that growth meant on my chest....... but that is a different story.... anywayz.... we were helped by the salvation minion and he very nicely shoved the couch onto the back of my truck and we were off.... the sky was melancholy, and the mood was somber, the music was Carl Bernoff... it was very intense.... I think anna farted... but I ignored it and kept going.... we had to make it and I had to be at the GYM.... we proceeded to anna's and saw her always pumped up mom.... and pastor mike was present.... oh yeah.... alex's dad and mum were there and they were up to their usual crazy antics......we got on to the topic of detached retinas..... and I told sherwood.... yes that is his ultra cool real name... and I suggested that sherwood attach his on with super glue.... that is what I did..... Back to the story... you can't let me get away from the exciting events.... Alex was supposed to meet us at 5:30 but we had the couch loaded at 5:05... so we left... Alex's dad followed and Alex's Mom RITA... stayed behind to wait for his son who does not have a BLOODY CELL PHONE...... once we got to anna's Pastor Mike was quiet ... all he kept saying was.. What do you want me to do ?... where do you want this to go... he is a man of few words... except for on Sunday where he talk ... all the time..... well we got the couches moved in... Sherwood almost had a heart attack and his retinas were swaying this way and that.... I told him to relax and let me and pastor mike do all the lifting.... well we finally got the couch insider anna's place and then wouldn't you know.... she had something that had to be moved out as well... and wouldn't you know... I had a truck..... stupid truck...... once we were through we waited for alex to show up with is mom because those were the instructions that sherwood gave to rita... sit tight, wait, get in son's car and drive to anna's.... decide on couch... drive home... we waited with akward silence between me , sherwood, joy, mike, anna, and kim her roommate.... alex NEVER showed up... sherwood had already decided he wanted the bloody couch..... we lifted , bent, did the hokey pokey and could not get the couch out the front door.... we were able to folow my advice and turn the couch just the right way and squeeze it out... just like you were squeezing some cheez..... we did the whole process in reverse and I found myself with two couches this time on the way to sherwoods house to unload some stuff.... we got there unloaded the two couches and walked up some very thin stairs... we unloaded two couches and then was told that he had two couches that he wanted to donate at the church... I was like.... MATT DAMON.... we then drove to the church carried both couches down some long hauls to the basement and finally were finished... total time 3 1/2 hours.... oh well..... Saturday... we went to Jen's party and had a good time... the vodka was flowing like water... there were some pretty girls.. some wild russian girls.... and rasputin.. was also present.... he always shows up..... Pictures will follow ..... Sunday was slooowww... man my head hurt... must have been the STOLI.... at church I was no good to anyone... but at least I showed up...... Salandria.... volunteered alex and I to read the focus reading.... I was not having that... I wanted to read every other line but alex wouldn't and I wanted us to jump off the stage and scream out wild stallions.... but he wouldn't..... we read it and I got a standing ovation and the congregation hoisted me on their shoulders... ( I was just kidding about the last part... or was I ?) Monday was kewl..... the highlight of the day was going to see INTERPOL... the lead singer is from New York but I thought he was eurpoean... that would have made him cooler... his voice is different... it gets high... not like Freddie Mercury or Justin Taylor ... but high enough .... the songs list was good... the song list was too short... oh yeah.... I got pulled over by the porkers... some trumped charges of .... expired License... and expired tag... both are culturally biassed and us mexicans do not have to take this shit.......

This is my new mascot... I wonder if it comes in Rumplemint ? 

I can't wait for Tim Burton's Remake Of Willy Wonka !! 

Why X Marks The Gender

Well my little kiddies, what is shaking ? This week has been LONG AND FAST... oh yeah.... It is Thursday and I have already racked up 60+ Hours of working... it started on Saturday, it drug itself out ALL FREAKIN DAY Sunday, and it resurfaced as a lesion on Wednesday... the work got done , the crisis was solved , and I found myself bored... it seems I thrive when there is chaos.. I have always been this way.. if things are slow I get bored... but the wierd thing is that is all I know... I have been working like crazy since I was 15 but I would not have it any other way, in fact , like most of you, I do not know what I would do if I was not working... , actually I do know what I would do and that would be writing, or hacking, or playing Duck Duck Goose.... This week in movies brought me up to date with A. Monty Ptyhon B. Ong Bak or C. Constanine... if you answered X then you are correct because I did not watch any of those movies.... Monty Python & The Holy Grail seemed like a good idea at the good time but everyone had seen Umphmillion times, Ong Bak finished downloading but I never got around to viewing it, and Constantine was in Spanish... so instead we watched Some good old Curb Your Enthusiasm... that has got to be one of the best shows currently on TV... I do not see that working on a network .... thank the GODS for HBO.... speaking of shows, the other shows I allow myself to tolerate are Arrested Development, Family Guy, Simpsons, Frasier, Will & Grace, South Park, I DON'T DO REALITY TV... because once I tried out for the show World's Craziest Crack Head Part 2 and I came in a close 2nd.. just because I would not sleep with the producers of the show.... probably because I could not take of my Chalice.... it still hurts.... this post is getting longer... Let's see what else has been going on... my mom is still looking for a house, she meets with Dave today to look at a SHOTGUN house in Kirkwood, a very nice place, and some others.... I have been working out like crazy at SONZ.... I am definitely feeling SONZY... those endorphins really do make me feel GREAT... like Tony The Tiger.... I taught myself how to make a profile in C&G for all your land surveyors and civil engineers out there, wait for the stable NON CRASHING EVERY FUCKIN 5 BLASTED MINUTES !!!!!... , I think I will start a new Rant Section on each blog starting with this one... so what you heard about the C&G software would definetely be on the Rant section.... Also I will have a wacky or odd picture of the day if I am in the mood.... BITCHES.......

RANTS

1. Brian Nichols is a sicko and needs to be shot and stuff and mounted on the front of the Northland Office to remind people to pay their BILL's....
2. It is 2005 and I still can't get TV Service A 'La Cart......
3. I would like to have HBO but I can't buy that without some type of $$ Package with 200 channels of CRAPOLA.... I know where you live Cable Providers
4. Microsoft Sucks...
5. The flea shampoo is not working... I still have huge mexican fleas and they are taking way too many ciestas and not getting enough work done... so hard to get good workers....

QUOTE OF THE DAY by DENNIS LEARY

Most people think, life sucks, and then you die. I disagree. I think life sucks and then you get cancer, then you go into chemotherapy, you lose all your hair, you feel bad about yourself. Then, all of a sudden, the cancer goes into remission, you come out, you look good, you feel good, you're going great -- all of a sudden, you have a stroke, you can't move your right side, and one day you step off the curb at 68th by Lincoln Center and then - BANG - you get hit by a bus and then, maybe, you die."

Trey Bein's Photography: Social Security Solution

Trey Bein's Photography: Social Security Solution Trey... I think you have a point about the current state of social security.... I agree with you that it is your money and you have the right to do with it whatever you want.... Social security taxes are far too high anyway for the likes of me... wouldn't the money be better spent of Wine and Mexican Donkey Shows ?... that's just me though.... Stick

Saturdays In The Park.... I think it was the 4th of July

Saturday was a day for something new.... something new was my 1st wine tasting... I got to sample some 4 different kinds of wine... I was upset that MD 20/20 was not on their list.. I guess it was because I was not in Clarkston... where we keep it real... we were in Smyrna/Vinings..... and by we I mean Chalex... and Little Skeehanisburg... and Apple Jack & Cocoa Pebbles... the Clarkston Crew for short... well the wine tasting was very fun and I felt very sophisticated.. for this occasion I had to wipe more than just once..... I went with Nugget and her mom..... two very fun people.... somehow the conversation got directed towards nike shoes and capitalism and the dollars continual decline in value... very spicy stuff !!! Let's see...... what else... I changed out my computer for my htpc and just basicly swapped out the Hard drives.... I then did some more mepis experimenting... I am getting a pretty usable system.... I then went to the Mac... once again..... The newcastle was very good.... and Skeehanisburg had his eye on a delicious waitress.... well he thought she was pleasant... she reminded me of canned dog food but that is a different story.... I was accompanied by The Mexican, Chalex, Jim Bob, Snake, Little Skeehanisburg, and Red..... short for redneck... yes my crew is very diverse... we come in all ages , sizes, scents, and flavors... we had some tasty refreshments back at the house and were met with the neighbors.... they are old.... so old !!!... well we were there for about 5 or 10 minutes... I do not know... the time went by very fast and the smoke kept getting in my good eye..... I made some crude jokes and as we went to leave... Chalex ran into the mexican and that made me have to push them back into eachother..... I then hauled ass from them as fast as I could and got caught by a see through fence... it came out of nowhere and grabbed my cankles... and tripped old stick up... everyone got a good laugh at the stick..... they will ALL PAY !!!!....... we then coughed some and decided to go the gym... it is never to late to get your work out on.... we used the mexican's uncircumsized white and black balls to play some tackle football americano....... very fun and painful stuff... no one clobbered their heads into eachother last time.... unfortunately.... we were all very good at the game and both sides put forth a good effort... Three cheers for the lads... next time the PBR is on me.... we then played extreme butts up...... this time with not one , but 2 dodgeballs.. I know your are thinking : How... The Insanity !!!... but we did it and there was no stopping us..... once the game was over we had a logic game of our own with trying to get the volleyball net to be straight... wow is all I can say about that..... we really let down america........ then alex teased us with the fountain of youth... I mean fountain of all things coke..... whoops you forgot the key......... better luck next year.... . so to all you boys and girls............ you never want to hear these 6 words from some old hag michael myers wanna be... YOU FORGOT TO EAT YOUR DIN DIN !!!! so let that be the message of this little tidbit of information..... just some random thoughts.... IN ............ Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure OUT ...... Leprachaun In Da Hood 3 Last but not least, I'm repin some south side playaz wit gold teeth !!!

What is going on ? ... Bitches.... JimBob (Jasmine) was correct in her statement proclaiming that if one add's BITCHES at the end of whatever they say, the statement is more enhanced, more potent, and more Dastardly... (thanx Bart) . And Now For Something completely different..... A favorite song of mine is .... "Life's Gonna Suck" by the "Lord Of The Dance".. Mr. Dennis Leary... On Monday I went to work and still had some problems with my computer... I could not compile the KQEMU accelerator module into the CVS version of Qemu... what a drag.. must be doing something wrong.... Well I went to a new job site with the Nasty Dancer (Patrick) and also saw the property he might be purchasing.... I love the idea of neighborhoods in transition... I also love Lamp ... Nasty's potential dwelling is in a developing part of the city ... I'm talkin bout Moreland Ave.... I'm screamin bout the Atl'..... it is growing so fast that I can't hardly stand it... It is great news, Atlanta one day can be a truly great city, once we get all the CRAZY'S off the road... ROO ED... ROOOOD.... Road... Blacksheep is a funny funny movie.. R.I.P. Chris Farley... The house needs a lot of work, but the deal he is getting is 2 Freaking Sweet.... Get this : Property $60,000, Refurbished house.... $30-35,000 Closing Cost... always too freaking much... For A TOTAL OF $100,000.... not bad , not bad at all..... I wish him the best of luck.... Now all Nasty needs is A HAIRCUT !!!!. (That was for you nasty) Life's Gonna Suck When U Grow UP !!! My truck also died on me... The lovely red BEAST... was crying Antifreeze when I got back from my trip to the new jobsite with Patrick.... We went to the AUTOZONE.... and got assaulted by customer NO service... they did not have a radiator hose for my truck so we went to Autozone #2, they had a hose... did not have very enthusiastic employees.... I have come to the conclusion that you can not get good service inside the Perimeter... that is the one and only one reason I could fathom for people moving out there.... Do not even get me started !!! Tuesday, still no truck, but I did have lunch at the Golden Buddah, I got the General Tsao's Chicken and it was very good... Nugget sure does love that place..... and they didn't even serve cheese... so she did what any girlscout would do and pulled her hair down... ran her fingers across the front and back of her head and POOF.. out came Parmasean cheese.... I was very impressed... what some people would do... just to make Gas..... Besides that we had a good time. We went back to work and my industrious self, found out how to get the screening on the Designjet 800 plotter.... it only took me two years..... =-) Once I got the screening, a new problem popped up... the lines were not crossing like they should have... so I learned that Merge would fix that and whala , the lines crossed in the appropriate places...... I hope that my truck is ready for tommorow.... it is going to be expensive.... but at least I will have something to write off my INSANE taxes next year...... Mama..... what day is it ? Peace.... In The Middle East Don't eat yeast.... Scratch those FLEAS..... And now for something completely different....

A Week With Mepis

As Many of you know... I am an avid Linux and Mac Evangelist... I became obsessed with these two operating systems when I turned 17... I did not always preach UNIX... it sort of happened out of curiousity...... But before I get into that... let's flashback to when I was 15 or 16, it's been so long I can't remember... I was in best buy and I saw a box for Mandrake Linux.. .I had always heard it was so much better than what Microsoft was offering at the time, but I never paid any attention... I do not know what made me purchase the retail box, but something sparked inside me... I paid the $40 bucks and rushed home in my Red Toyota Tercel a.k.a. the clown car.... I tore open the package ran the setup program and restarted the machine... then bang poof... nothing . Nothing at all, I was crushed... this was before the days of cdrom back ups and I did not want to back up all my stuff to unreliable floppy disks.... so I had nothing to show on my screen except for a bunch of giberish... something about can't find X Server.... I did not know what that meant.. I was very frustrated at myself because up until this time I could teach myself to do anything well on the computer... in fact I knew too much.. I was a walking encyclopedia on the subject... I tried re-installing the Mandrake Linux software time and time again to no avail... I gave up with my head down and slowly re-installed Microsoft Windows 95 once again... back to the familiar interface with nothing new or exciting to get my juices flowing like back in my Dos & BBS days... oh well..... Flash Forward to 2005 and the linux scene has completly changed... I am now typing this on a Mepis (Debian Based OS) Linux.. it was frustrating at first... all of my hardware except for my Raid was detected and set up properly... the one area I am having problems is with my plotter... it is a designjet 800 plotter that is set up to work from TCP/IP.... The only one area where Linux stil lags behind Windows is in Cad Support... BricsCad is doing pretty good... they have ported their newest version of their software over using Wine... I would prefer a completely native approach but this is better than nothing and it is getting more stable all the time.... Mepis has been good to me and I am going to give it a good chance this time... I plan on leaving it on my machine for at least two months... if by then I can not get my plotter working then I will try Xandros... and if that is a problem then I will try, Fedora... I just do not want to keep switching I want to stick with something and actually be productive.... So if there are any Mepis users out there who have experience getting their Designjet Plotters working with Linux/Unix let me know !!!! Hooty Hoo... Holla At Ya Boy !!!!

My Ex... Breaking Up Is Hard To DO 

Freaky Friday

Man time flies when you are having so much fun.... as the old saying goes... This week has been pretty fulfilling.... On Monday.... well skip monday that was Valentines day and I was bored out of my mind.... did not have a valentine this year... perhaps next year will be more succesful.... or maybe next year I will be on a yacht in the Cayman Islands.. you never know !!!... Tuesday was more fun... I worked like crazy learned some new stuff in Autocad... then went to bed... I think... you see I had wine so I forgot.... Whoops !! Tuesday night I also saw Trey Bein... and we had a good time... Psycho Bart came over as well and we listened to Jimi Hendrix & Sang & Dance..... we also had some more wine.... I had a piece of pizza from Sam's club which was pretty good for being cold... it would have been better if I had heated it up.... I tried my longest to behave but that did not last , but for 5 or so minutes and my usual unruly self came out... I then started to watch Kung Fu Hustle with Psycho Bart and I went to BED !!.... On Wednesday night all hell broke loose.... I went to my mom's house with friends.... It was good until the wine started flowing... everyone spilled to beans on me and everything I do... I was alright with it... somethings should not have been said.... mmmmk.... whenever we talk to my mom from now on... let's leave the "Nasty Dancer" out of the equation.... anyway Marmaduke, myself, and Nugget had a great time even though Trey & Allen could not show up.... there is always my mom's birthday... Thurdsay ... Thursday... I heard about all of the instant messenger chats with I had with nugget since sometime around November.... those are now public domain... BEWARE OF THE NUGGET .... we were thinking of putting some of the better bits into a book... there is some good stuff in there..... If I do not forget then one day I will put it into book form and give it to the nugget... how thoughtful of old Ian.... I just farted..... Onto other things... I went to eat PHO.... with Allen & Trey and they took F O R E V E R ! ! ! ! ! ..... they are old , but come on !!! Have some respect for old Ian.... I then went back at the house and was greeted by Snake, Jim Bob, Marmaduke, and Joe the Jew....(he is not really Jewish) nor looks jewish or acts jewish.... Jews are great....

Before The Storm 

Hello World

'Rainstorms Take Me Away From The Norm'

Last night was a blast... went to see a performance of La Boheme.... this was a pretty good opera.... much better than Don Giovani.... 1/5 of the usual crew went... Allen(Queen), Me(Stick), Alex (Marmaduke), Rob, Jenn(Nugget).... everyone looked great... Nugget looked spectacular.... I was very impressed...... I will post pictures later.... I recomend anyone go see the opera.... it is really cool that this art form is still going on after centuries.... the stories are timeless and still very relevant in our society.... just don't go see the shows at the Atlanta Civic Center.... I paid $240 for season tickets ( 4 shows) and my seats were in the balcony and I couldn't see SHIT !!!.... Marmaduke & Nugget bought tickets for just this show and they paid less and had much closer seats... sometimes life is unfair....... It is good to see old friends from high school... last night I saw my good friend Alex Yadgarov... aka YARD DOG... everyone seems to have a nick name...... he was doing quite well... he is a computer programmer.... he wants to change jobs.. like so many other programmers I know.... in school they don't say that if your job is programming... it means lots of stress... this is ok for some people... but the reality is progammers are human and have feelings and are not ROBOTS... change is good... when you sit on a computer screen day in and day out... things get stale... and you start to do wierd stuff like smell your feet and create new dance moves... granted... some of these dance moves are great , but for the most part... some dance moves are utterly unbearable.... like THE BLOODY "CHICKEN NUGGET" Dance... I recommend anyone who witnesses this be taken immediately to quarantine.... I'm Out.....

I am sick !!!... Somebody get my mommy !!!

Hi world.. it has been a while since I posted anything on this website. It is really hard to make certain things habits in your life. This past month has been really crazy. My parents are splitting up for the third or fourth time . I am happy though. This is what is best for both of them. Anyway.. I just got through seeing UNDERWORLD ... <----- GO SEE IT !!! It was an original story. It is kind of a cross between the matrix, blade, and teen-wolf. The special effects were great. The actress Kate Beckinsale was very convincing as a vampire with pain. My only complaint was that it was not longer. Toastmasters Update.... I have made my icebreaker twice. I made the first one two weeks ago and I made the second one this past Saturday. Once I was through with each one everyone congratulated me and told me that I did a great job. They told me I have a wonderful voice for speaking. Who would of thought a quiet kid like me with a stutter would be giving speeches. One thing I have noticed though is that the more I give these Table Topics and Speeches the less shy I am becoming and the less I stutter. If I had known it was going to be like this then I would have done this at age 6. I look forward each week to seeing my ToastMaster Friends. Everyone is so supportive and everyone there wants to improve themselves. Oh yeah... I forgot this Monday I accepted Christ as my lord and savior. I grew up in a family that was not very religious. I am very glad that I made this choice. The church I go to is filled up with lots of gray hairs. It looks like a sea of gray =) Everyone is super nice and very welcoming. Everyone has been saying I have made the right choice and I think I did as well. There are so many questions I want to ask and there is so much that I do not know. Well I gotta go and take some more nyquil so I can get my ass to bed... Gotta be up bright and early tommorow. The bills do not pay themselves. Peace, Ian Trimble

I joined Toastmasters. !!!!

Hi world, Today was a productive day. I set the alarm to go off at 5:30 a.m so I could get a 1 hour run before I got to work. That did not happen. My Palm Pilot alarm went off at 6:30 though. Good thing I have a backup !! Work was fun as ever. By the way, I am a Land Surveyor/ Civil Engineer's Assistant. This really is a dream job. I wake up wanting to go to work. This is the opposite of when I worked at KROGER. I would dread waking up at 3:00 in the morning, lifting heavy rotting milk palletes. It was COLD, don't even get me started. Anyways working for the Northland Company has made me enjoy capitalism again. I work with my brother Lindsay (AKA) Mastamine, and my good friend Patrick (AKA) Young Anfernee. They had Zesto for lunch and regretted it 30 minutes later. I am not sure what they expect eating fast food everyday. I used to be guilty of the same pleasure but my aging 23 year old body just can't take that crap anymore. My stuttering was pretty mild for the most part of the day. I spoke with Danny Bonner, a millionare land developer. He is one of my idols. I really appreciate his business models. I hope he takes me under his wing one day. Whenever I speak with my boss, I have a mild stutter. I might say. Bill, did your wif.... f f... ff. f.. call ? He knows I am trying to improve my stutter. He lets me go to speech coaching with Tim during work hours. He is a good guy. He is an engineer so I know that he is crazy !! Everyday all day he has clients pulling him in 360 directions always needing everything yesterday. This is where I come in. For three years I have learned about what it takes to be a good Land Surveyor and Civil Engineer. He puts a great deal of responsibility on me and I really appreciate it. I get to meet with clients, go to the county to drop off, pick up plans, discuss drawings with them. I am his right hand guy. I do not see how he could run his company without somebody like me to back him up. Today I went to a TOASTMASTERS . It is a great club for me and my stuttering. I got some really good advice from it. The whole time I wanted to get up and get started speaking. I have to be patient my day will come soon. Membership fees are only going to be $22 for the year. One speaker was from a small town, Fory Myers, I think. One of his parents was a school teacher, his dad was a deputy sheriff or 20 years also owned a construction business. His dad's rules were strict but the son was grateful. He learned hard work, discipline, and persistence , was what guaranteed success in life. I am a strong believer in all of the honorable attributes. When it was time for the guest to introduce themselves. I told them my name was Ian and I am a person who stutters. I told the group I was joining to feel better about my self, to improve my quality of life , and to conquer my fear of public speaking. I also am going because this is an absolute must for me !!. I only stuttered once I think. This was not that bad at all. Once I was through with my brief introduction everybody clapped and asked me to become a full time member. I agreed. I will see the group again next Tuesday at 5:30. After Toastmasters I went to install windows xp on my grandad's computer. I built him a computer a few months ago. He was 77 when he first got on the internet and now he is hooked. I am glad that now he has a way to communicate with his family all across the country. I know that I can always count on my grandfather whenever I need help. To me that is very special and wonderful. I only hope I can spend as much time with him before he dies. He is strong and healthy though, so I know he has a good amount of years in him yet. That is all for now... I have to go resolve my paypal account. Apparently someone was trying to hack into my account and now I have to send a briefcase full of documents to paypal so that I can be verified. I also have to finish installing windows xp on grandad's computer. That is all world, take care and avoid microsoft's worms... use LINUX Ian Trimble

Hi world, this is my own personal BLOG. I am very excited. I am calling this BLOG: This is the start of something wonderful !!!. The reason I chose this is because I am changing myself. You see I am a person who stutters. Stuttering is not a normal condition. It affects 1 in 1 million people. For 23 years in my life I asked the questions "Why Me God ?", but now I have had the gift of a new form of speech therapy. It is neuro-linguistic programming. Check out NEUROSEMANTICS for more information. NLP has totally changed my life in the three short months I have been using it. If you ever have any problems in your life NLP will help. It has opened my eyes and helped me to become a better person. So I have a mission in life to spread the gospel !! My speech coach Tim MacKessey really opened my eyes. Growing up, Tim also had a severe stutter. I found that our lives shared many common problems related to stuttering. If you want to find out more about his story then go to this website : Freedom Of Speech I am lucky to have had someone I can finally relate to. Stuttering has been such a big part of my life and I am working harder than ever to overcome the behavior I learned as a result to my stutter. That is why I am writing this BLOG. Tim gave me a copy of Anthony Robbins cd set of unleash the power. I had always seen him on the infomercials , but never really paid any attention to them , I always just flipped the channel. I wish I hadn't because he has also been an outstanding influence in my changing to a better person. Mr. Robbins is also a firm believer in NLP and I can see why. Lasting change with NLP is quick. Anyway, Mr. Robbins recommends you keep a journal to see how much you have grown and to reflect on what you were thinking and see how far you have come in life. That is why I am starting this BLOG. I plan on getting feedback from people who stutter and also people who don't stutter. I appreciate all feedback and encourage it. This is Day 1 on my path to being fluent. I will keep the world informed as much as I can on the steps I take each day to improve myself. Good Night, Peace In The Middle East !! Ian Trimble
