Today I worked on my bath room remodel project here at my house again just doing some more patching.
And I fixed a warm dinner for the cats,.. and cooked myself a couple Morningstar Black Bean burger patties and ate them plain along with Irene's home made salsa.
Then I went out to a friends house and visited with him for a little while. This friend use to be a singer in a band,... and he really had a great voice. But he don't act much interested in singing anymore for some reason.
And that's about it for my New Years Eve.

Today I worked on my bath room remodel project here at my house for a little while. I'm still in the process of patching and skim coating the walls and ceiling.
And I also cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and fixed them a nice dinner,.. fixed myself a bowl of my home made chili,... and went over to a friends house to exchange Christmas gifts.
And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today I went out to 3 different Staples stores to get supplies for making my music CDs. They didn't have any of their printable CD label paper at 2 of the stores.
And I pretty much just made my own music CDs all day long today... I've got a triple CD set with a bunch of the songs that I sang from 2006 to 2008,... and I even made a Christmas CD too. It's pretty cool. I've got a printer that prints directly onto white printable CDs,.. so everything is looking like it could come out of a store. A lot of my music has some back ground noises in it though,.. and some songs have some static in them,.. so the recording quality doesn't have that store bought feel about it.
I use sound soap software to try to remove some of the hisses and back ground noises,.. but I don't alway's like using it because it sometimes distorts the sound of the instruments... Like it sounded better with the back ground noises that it had. I'll just have to get better at being very quite while singing. I think one of the hums that I'm getting is coming from the fans in my computer.
Then also today,.. I fixed a warm dinner for the cats,.. and made myself some left over stuffed peppers. A woman that I work for in Hawaii and Redlands named Irene made me some of her great tasting salsa and it goes great on those stuffed peppers.
And that's it for my Monday.

Today I went out to Redlands and helped some people that I work for do a few things. They needed an air compressor to fill some tires,.. and needed help to look at some things up on the roof. They've got a bad water leak that is soaking their bedroom floor.
Then I went over to Gerrards Grocery store and picked up a few things,.. then gave away a few of my new music CDs for 2008...
And then I came home and got all involved in making some new CDs containing most all the music that I've sang in the past 2 to 3 years... I'm going to make this CD more for myself to have copys of the songs...
I don't think I'm going to be singing much in the next year along with the type of work that I'm going to be doing.
And I fixed a nice warm meal for the cats and also made myself some left over stuffed peppers.
And that's about it for my Sunday.

Today I did some re-wiring of my wireless router on my computer set up... Seeing if I could get some better reception,.... and it helped.
And I went over to Lowe's and got some supplies,... did some vacuuming,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,... and warmed up and had my left overs from Pomodoro Cucina Italiana for dinner myself.
And that's pretty much it for my Saturday.

Today I went over to some peoples house to get paid from a job and to discuss other projects... And while I was there I was parked out on the street in front of their house... Someone reached into my truck and stole all my home made CD's that I made last night of My Singing for 2008...
This street is in a nice area in Redlands California... I don't know if I've ever seen any kids or teenagers walking up and down that street... The only people I've seen around that street is people who live there that are walking their dogs,... and bicycle riders,... (the serious racing type bicycle riders)...
Anyway,.. I thought,.. who ever that was just stole a bunch of CD's that may be worthless to them... I can see people who know me being able to like some of my singing there,... I don't know about some stranger having any use for them. Especially if it's some kid or teenager.
And then on my drive home a Cop decided to go out of his way to give me a ticket for not wearing a seat belt...
Man,.. they could take a lot from me if they keep that up. I don't like that law one bit. And that one thing there is something about this world that I don't like.
I'm surprised that girls aren't complaining about them with the way that upper belt splits their breasts. I would think that it could be uncomfortable for them there... That upper belt is uncomfortable to me. It's restraining.
I think the right way to be about seat belts is to educate everybody on the reasons why you think or know it is better to wear a seat belt,.. and then leave the choice up to the people... If you disagree with that being the right way,.. then you can call it,.. "The way I would choose to have things if I was in charge". I don't like "strict",... I like "cool".
And then I went over to Staples and got me some more Jewel cases for CD's and the printable insert paper for them,... and then I came home and made a whole bunch more CD's of my Singing from 2008. I had 2 computers burning CD's today. It really speed things up.
And after that I went over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a great dinner. I had Penne Portobello (Penne pasta with mushrooms and a roasted garlic cream sauce),.. Spinaci,.. Cavolini (Brussels Sprouts),.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arrabiatta sauce),.. and a glass of Milk.
And then I went over to a friends house and visited with him and his wife for a little while,.. then came home and finished making some more of my home made CD's.
Oh,.. and I fixed a warm dinner for the cats too... And that's it for my Friday.

Today I went over to my Parents house for Christmas... I got a nice jacket and some money for Christmas.
And then I came home and got all involved in making my 2nd singing CD with some of the songs that I sang in 2008.
And I read and replied to my emails,... fixed a warm dinner for the cats,.. and had myself a bowl of my home made Chili.
And that's about it for my Christmas this year.

Wednesday, December 24, 2008
Today I didn't do much of anything. I read and replied to my emails,.. and I picked up some of the tools that were laying in my living room.
I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and fixed myself a bowl of my home made chili.
And I checked out some songs that I sang last night but never listened to. I put 2 of them in my little audio players that are on my Video Archives page. They're the ones on top,.. Jingle Bells,.. and I re-did Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.
I did take a drive out to get some gasoline and to the post office,.. and went over to The Cheesecake Factory to get someone a pie,... but the parking lot was so full there that I just turned around and came back home.
And that's about it for my Christmas Eve.

I'm a guy that likes to see a real love story between 2 people where they're happy and really appear to like each other.
I remember back when I was watching Star Trek Next Generation when I think her name was Commander Troy and Colonel Richer were always on the verge of getting together,... and they seemed like they could match up to me too,... but she would always have some problem with them getting together or back together. He seemed cool to me,.. and she appeared to like him too but was always saying No.
I didn't like that...
And I remember Rachel and David Schwimmer on the Friends show always going through the same type of thing. He seemed cool,... but she was always saying No to them getting back together. Like she or they always had some kind of problem with it somewhere.
I didn't like that either. I never saw the episode that showed why there was always a problem with them getting together.
I don't remember any good real like love stories that I have liked right now. But I do remember seeing what looked like Kirk Cameron's very first kiss with the girl that is now his wife. And that was a cool moment to see for me. They showed it on TV. It looked like they were rehearsing for an episode of the show.
So maybe it goes without saying that my special Love story,... the one that involves Me,... ended up being one of those type Love stories that I don't like.
But mines a little different than the ones I mentioned up above,... mine seems worse,... more like I got treated like I was nothing,... and every time I got involved with this supposedly special girl,.. she would step on Me to get to some other guy.
Grind me into the ground with her super tall high heeled shoes.
If the term,.. "it's like she has almost always treated me like sh_t" don't seem quite right... Well maybe saying it this way might sound more correct,... "It's like she has treated me sh_tty". Like she has treated the whole situation sh_tty.
It's Ok to rather be with some other guy. I would of forgot about her after the first time she blew it all off for another guy. What's not Ok for me is I keep being lead to believe that she's really thinking of me as if all that other guy stuff is fake or something. So I end up seeing this girl out there as she treats me and the whole situation as if it's nothing to her.
It's hard for me to keep thinking good of a girl that blows me off for other guys for every body to see as she treats me and the whole situation as if it's nothing.
I really don't think that my kind of girl,.. one that really likes me,.. would want to be out there being with other guys for me to see...
She has come across as soooo touchy, feely, kissy boy friendly. Making me think,.. Ok,.. I guess that's my kind of girl. But if I'm going to end up with a girl like that I've thought,... Ok,.. you can go ahead go be with your other boyfriend or boyfriends,... and feel free to do what ever you like with them... "But I sure the hell don't want to be a part of it". I don't want to be a part of it,... and I don't want to see it either.
I'm not the kind of guy that would like watching my girl friend fooling around with and even having sex with some other guy.
Oh,.. and of course if my girl friend is that type of girl,... then it's Ok for me to be with other girls too.
Not really my style,... but if I'm going to be with a girl that likes to fool around with other guys,.. I'm going keep that option for myself as well.
Now,.. I think that I may never be with a girl ever again in my whole life. But,. those are some of my thoughts if I was to ever end up with one.
Today I read and replied to my emails,.. I worked on patching the walls and ceiling in my bathroom remodel project here at my house,... I fixed dinner for the cats,.. and I had myself a bowl of my home made chili.
Also today I got an update to my video software that I use for my video player that's on my Video Archives page. So I installed the new player there,.. and it now has a button all the way over on the right side where you can make my videos go into full screen mode...
And I think that's going to be about it for my Tuesday.

Today I got up and read and replied to my emails and by the time I got woke up it was about 11:00am already.
Then after talking to my Uncle about how our vacuum cleaner is broken I decided to go out and get a new vacuum cleaner. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on one this time,.. (because it's not a good time for me to be spending money),.. so I shopped for vacuums in the less than 100 dollar range,.. along with thinking I don't want to buy something that I'm not going to like.
I've bought vacuums before that I never liked,.. so every time I went to use it,.. I didn't necessarily like using it. The last vacuum I bought was the best vacuum I ever bought. It was a Fantom Fury. It had good enough suction power,... a see through canister bagless style vac that appeared to really pick up the dirt. That canister would always fill up quick. And the attachments for the vacuum were very convenient to use. Just pull out the handle, add an attachment to the end of it and it was ready to use.
So anyway,... I ended up getting a Bissell Powertrak Bagless Revolution Upright vacuum cleaner this time. I couldn't try it out in the store I went to. And couldn't even pull it down off the shelf to check it out more thoroughly either. But after checking out all the vacuums that they had there I decided to try this one out...
And I ended up bringing home a vacuum that I liked right away. It has better suction than my old Fantom Fury Vacuum,.. the attachments are just as convenient and easy to breakout and use as the Fantom was,... it's got a Bare Floor switch that the Fantom didn't have and it also has a hand turbo brush that has a spinning brush inside it just like down on the bottom of the vacuum has.
Next time I go to get one I think I'm going to go to Sears first. Because if I remember right,.. I use to be able to try out the vacuum there before I bought it.
I over heard the Governor of California talking like the State of California is about ready to run out of money from my Uncle's Television. And I heard him talking about making Government or State workers take pay cuts too... I remember being in the Union and how the Union's made people take pay cuts once in a while and how most every body didn't like that at all...
And I'll tell ya,... when I go and get my taxes done every year,... I always think,.. due to how little State Tax that I have to pay,... that I could certainly be giving more to them. It's like,.. I don't mind giving more to State,.. they don't take very much anyway.
Also today I showered and had a couple little Creamy Cinnamon Martini drinks,.. fixed myself a bowl of my home made chili,.. and fixed dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, December 21, 2008
Today I read and replied to my emails,.. I ran back ups of my computer files,... and ran a Microsoft OneCare Tune up on my computer,... I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,... and I updated my work web site.
And then I went over to a different Stater Brothers than the one I went to yesterday,.. and got me some Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
And of course,.. while I was standing in line there I got all pissed off again... See,.. I get lead to believe good things about some girl,.. but in reality she treats me like I'm nothing.... And it's like even God is F'n with me here.
I was just thinking the other day how I don't really use the word "hate" very often,... like it's just usually a bit too strong of a word for the things that I don't like,... but after seeing that picture of my supposed perfect for each other in the grocery store,... I think there's something about this situation that I hate.
Last Christmas I remember stepping into reality for a moment when I walked into a friends house that I haven't seen for a long time. I met his wife for the first time there and thought to myself how "here I am living in this imaginary like world thinking about some girl as if she's the girl for me,.. when she don't even talk to me at all".
And now days she's got her arms wrapped around some other guy and is supposedly married to him as I keep hearing things in my mind as if she is still thinking of me though.
And I've just had enough of this sh_t....
It's like she has just about always treated me like sh_t,.. as I keep being lead to believe different by somebody that I think I should be able to trust totally.
And it's been like "the joke is on me" as I keep thinking that I'm really not the kind of guy that deserves this sh_t.
I haven't had a girl friend or been with a girl for over 22 years now due to this life that I ended up having. And I've always been the type of guy that really liked girls ever since I was a little kid.
I don't deserve,... and I'm just not going to have a girl friend that treats me like sh_t.
And I think that's going to pretty much end it for my Sunday. I may cook myself a pot of chili,... feed the cats,... my hair is looking like it could use a shower,... and then I'll probably go to bed.

Today I went grocery shopping this morning and while standing in line I saw something that just pissed me off bad,... and it just ruined my day.
I've been thinking today that this shit just may help to ruin everything that has to do with my life.
And that pretty much sums up my Saturday.

Today I worked on my bathroom remodel project here at my house. And I went over to the bank and deposited a check.
Also I added my Windows Live Public Shared Folder to this page. I didn't even know I had such a thing until today. I learned it from a tip at Worldstart.com... And I put one song in there that anybody that comes here or there is welcome to download and have.
And I made a little video showing my bathroom remodel project here at my house. I put the video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... I'm showing my bathroom remodel project at my house.
And I fixed dinner for the cats,.. and ate my left overs from last nights dinner at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
And now I've got one load of laundry to fold,... and I think I'll be about ready for bed after that.
That's it for my Friday.

Today I worked on my bathroom remodel project here at my house a little bit. I fixed a water leak that I had in the toilet water supply and started taping and mudding the newly drywalled areas.
And I read and replied to my emails,... showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a very good dinner.
I tried something new tonight,... I had Penne Portobello with roasted garlic cream sauce (to me it tasted,.. worth getting again),.. Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Spinaci,.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arrabbiata sauce),... and a glass of milk.
"Worth getting again" means it tasted very good to me. Things that taste just Ok,.. or it was pretty good,... I may never order again.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

Man, it's been a cold and rainy day all day here. And it's still going on this evening too.
Today I worked on my bathroom remodel project here at my house a little bit. And I went over to Lowe's and picked up a few more supplies,... and also went over to Target and did a little extra Christmas shopping.
And I fixed a nice warm dinner for the cats,... had myself some more of those crock pot style southwestern black bean burritos,... and a piece of pumkin pie.
The electicity on my block went out for a little while today. But everything is back up and running now here at 5:00pm.
And that's about it for my Wednesday. Think I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Oh,.. and I went over to Rite-Aid and picked up a few things,.. and also went over to Lowe's and got a few supplies.
And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today I woke up to a very rainy day. And due to the rain I sat here this morning listening to Mark & Brian on KLOS radio and just didn't feel like doing nothing today.
After their show was over I was faced with either I'm going to find something to do in this rain,.. or I'm just going to go back to bed... So I ended up working on my Bathroom remodel project a little bit.
My Crock pot style Southwestern Black Beans with Barley turned out pretty good today... I didn't think so much of it just eating it by itself,... but I liked it in a burrito along with some Longhorn style cheddar cheese.... Those beans took about 16 hours to cook till they were tender in the Crock pot.
Also today I read and replied to my emails,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,... had myself some Burritos made with those crock pot southwestern black beans that I mentioned up above,... and I made myself a girly poster for my bedroom.
It's pretty cool,... I can use my Xara software,... and take a little picture and cut it into a bunch of little squares,.. then print them out on a bunch of pieces of paper and then tape them together in a poster size....
I've thought that I could just fill my whole room with girls all over my walls,.... maybe the ceiling too....
And that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, December 14, 2008
Today I didn't really do a whole lot. Let me see here,.. as I think about it,.. .. .. today I ran back ups of my computer files,.. and I ran a Microsoft OneCare Tune-up...
I updated my work web site,.. and went over to Stater Brothers and got me a Pumpkin pie and some Pepper Jack Cheese...
I fixed dinner for the cats,.. and I sliced my Stuffed Peppers that I made yesterday and fried it up with Pepper Jack cheese on top. I put one slice into a sandwich with a hamburger bun,... it was kind a like a Meatloaf sandwich in a way. And I ate the other slice as just a patty... The patty form only was the tastiest. And these stuffed peppers taste better the 2nd day to me.
And I also did a little singing. I put one new video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... Rocking Around The Christmas Tree... And I also put this song and "Christmas Song" in my Audio Players that are on my Video Archives page. "Christmas Song" is a new version that I sang today. It's not the one that's already in my All Video Player that I sang yesterday.
And I think that's about it for my Sunday....
Oh,... I'm still cooking this Crock Pot style Southwestern Black Beans with Barley that I started this morning. The beans soaked in water all last night,... and now they've cooked all day today,.. and their still not tender.

Saturday, December 13, 2008
Today I read and replied to my emails,.. I went Grocery shopping,.. I went to the bank and deposited a check and I did 2 loads of laundry.
I also tried out a new recipe called "Mom's Soul-Soothing Stuffed Peppers". And it was pretty good... It did seem a little on the bland side though,... so next time I may use some stewed tomatoes instead of plain tomato sauce.
And I made a couple videos and put them in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. I put them on top,.. dated with today's date,... "Please Come Home For Christmas - just a practice video that I made this evening" and "Christmas Song - just a practice video that I made today"...
And then I played around with the Please Come Home For Christmas video that I made today by trying to make it sound better with Audacity software,... then trying to remove any ticks and hums with Sound Soap software,.. and then I put the cleaned up version in my Audio players that are on my Video Archives page.
After hearing my White Christmas that I just put in those Audio players and then hearing the first Christmas song that I put in there this year,.. (Santa Claus Is Coming To Town),.. it sounds to me like I need to re-do Santa Claus Is Coming To Town,... sounds like I'm standing out above the instruments too much to me.
I know,... that's not necessarily the only one in there that could use re-doing... I'm somewhat happy with that last White Christmas though. At first I thought my voice volume was too low in that one. But the more I listened to it,... the more it sounds Ok...
Anyway,.. I think that's going to be about it for my Saturday.

I put one new Christmas song that I sang into my Audio players that are on my Video Archives page. I put it on top labeled Christmas Songs - White Christmas. And the little story that I tell in the middle of the song is a true story that happened to me and my little brother when we were little kids.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Friday.

Today I had the day off from work and really didn't do a whole lot.

And I did manage to go down to the muffler shop and had my cracked muffler pipe on my old work van fixed...
And I cooked myself a couple little Taco Burgers in Los Amigos style,.. and fixed the cats their dinner.

Sunday, December 7, 2008
Today I woke up and read and replied to my emails... I ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft OneCare Tune-up.... I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,... and did some online banking and paid my bills.
I installed new exhaust flange gaskets in my old GMC work van and found out that the gaskets were not the problem... The exhaust pipe on one side has got a large crack in it.
I got my radio working again in my old GMC van... The last time I let somebody else work on it,.. they just left my radio dangling under my dash... And I found out today they left some bare wires just dangling under my Van and they were resting right up against my exhaust pipe.
And I made a couple videos of myself cooking a home version of Taco Bell's Tacos. The new videos will be in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll be on top dated with today's date,... Me Making Taco Bell's Tacos 1 and 2.
Those Tacos that I made in the video were good... To me, I think I like that Morningstar Grillers Prime for Taco meat better when it's not made with a whole bunch of seasoning in it.
And then at the end of my day,.. I fixed the cats their dinner,... did all my dishes,.. and finished wrapping all my Christmas gifls for this year.
And that's about it for my Sunday.

Saturday, December 6, 2008
Let me see here,... today I did some grocery shopping this morning,.. and I did 2 loads of laundry...
I went out to J&M Speed center to get some header flange gaskets for my old work van. They seem to burn up and leak in a matter of a few Months... And I went over to PepBoys and got some motor oils and a good tire pressure gauge... And I went over to K-Mart and picked up a few things.
I fixed the cats their dinner,.. and I cooked myself a couple little Taco Burgers in Los Amigos style.
And I've been doing a lot of emailing. A girl from my High School found me in Classmates.com and has been keeping me busy lately writing to me... And now were doing the Yahoo chat thing too.
And I think that's about it for my Saturday.
For anybody that's thought about trying out one of those electronic pest deterants. An electronic device that's supposed to scare the insects away with a special noise. They say that it works for Roaches,... but the one I got don't... Roaches actually use it as a home.

Today I had the day off from work and I didn't really do a whole lot again.
I made a call and lined up some work for next Monday.... I worked on installing upgrades of all my drivers on my Laptop computer and cleaned the system and Registry. It hasn't been able to install it's Vista SP1 update,.. so I thought maybe I could do some things that will help it to install.
Installing these Vista SP1 and XP SP3 updates has been like,... some people may have to call a computer technician just to install those updates... I'm just going to go without them if they continue to not install.
And I read and replied to my emails,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. had myself some frozen style put in the toaster Belgian Waffles along with this Golden Griddle syrup that my Mother brought over for me to try.
I don't always like Pancakes and Waffles anymore because I can't get my favorite syrup anymore. I don't think they make it anymore. My Mom use always have it around when I was a kid.... I think it was called Vermont Maid and it had a green label...
The Golden Griddle syrup that my Mom brought over was similar tasting to Vermont Maid,.. but it tasted like it may be a little more Maple like to me.
And I also ate my leftovers from my dinner last night at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana. And I went over to my Parents house and got a year book from my Senior year of High School. I've had people contact me that I don't remember,... and I think I may be able to remember them if I see their High School picture.
Looks like updating my drivers in my laptop and cleaning it out a bit didn't help. Vista's SP1 still won't install. It definitely don't sound good to me to have to spend a whole bunch of time doing research just to install some computer update. I researched the XP SP3 for my other desktop computer a little bit and didn't find why it's not installing.
And,.. I think that's going to be about it for my Friday.

Today I didn't do a whole lot again... let me see here,.. I went over to the post office and mailed out an Invoice,... and I went over to Smart & Final and shopped around a little bit...
I made a call about work,.. and I read and replied to my emails,... and I sang a Christmas song... Didn't really like any of the videos that I made of it, so I took the audio out of one of them and put in my Audio players that are on my Video Archives page...
Thought I'd put all the Christmas songs on top so that they can all be played together if played continuously.
Then after all that I got cleaned up,... fixed dinner for the cats,... and then went out and had a really good dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo,... Ravioli Di Zucca,.. Spinaci,.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arrabbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
And my waitress was there tonight,... so,.. there was no running out of arrabbiata sauce tonight,... and there was no having to break out my own Parmesan cheese.
And now that I'm back home from dinner it has gotten late on me quick due to writing emails to old friends that have found me in classmates.com and facebook.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

I just watched some of Melissa Etheridge's videos from her appearance on the KLOS radio show... They have them on their web site... Pretty cool... And Melissa Etheridge appears to be very very good at playing the guitar and singing at the same time.
My right hand wont strum the pattern that I've been practicing if I try to sing too. It will only strum it's own pattern. Which is never the right one.
It was a pain in the ass making that 3 little easy chords (that I know well) Act Naturally video that I made... I kept making video after video,... and it was hot,.. and I was irritable,.. and just not liking singing and playing guitar and making a video at the same time at all that day.
I didn't do a whole lot today... I made up an Invoice for a job,... I checked the wreckage of my new van out a little more thoroughly and got it's throttle cable tightened back up again to where it has no slack in it.
And I read my emails,... and cooked myself a couple little Taco Burgers in Los Amigos style,.. then fixed the cats their dinner.
Also today,.. I put some new music audio players on my Video Archives page,... and put a bunch of the music that I've made into them. All the audio players on that page have exactly the same songs in them. One plays a single song until you choose another song. One plays continuously, song after song in alphabetical order until you click stop. And the bottom one also plays continuously but in a random order until you click stop.
I should also say here that for some reason the Firefox 2 browser isn't playing these little audio players correctly on both my computers. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer is playing them fine. Not sure what the problem is yet,... but it could be something that I can't fix if it's their browsers fault.
I also watched some videos of the Hansen Brothers band on the KLOS web site. Those guys seemed to go from teenagers to Men with kids and families of their own quickly...
They did a Christmas song for Mark & Brian on KLOS radio a year or two ago or so that sounded pristine. Clean and great... And if I remember right,... they did it acapella.
I've thought about singing their M-Bop song,... but I don't have it on karaoke.
Now for the end of my day,.. I've just finished washing all my dishes,.. and I'm going to put a couple more songs in my new audio players,... and that's going to be about it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked on my major whole house remodel project finishing up their final punch list. Where I painted an exterior patio cover,.. and touch up painted wood siding.
Then I came home and cleaned my brushes and bucket,.. did my daily work notes,.. read and replied to my emails,.. showered,.. cooked myself some very good Tacos in Miguels Jr. style,.. and then cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And now I'm sitting here at my computer just about all finished for the day... I've got one call to make about work,.. and then my day will be done.
And that's pretty much it for my Tuesday.

This morning on my freeway drive to work I got into kind of a freak accident and wrecked my new work van.
I was cruising along at freeway speed in the middle lane when all of a sudden I heard a thump on the right side of my vehicle and I was skidding to the left towards the center divider... As I was skidding to the left I looked to my right and saw a blue Big Rig that was right next to me,.. and it looked like he was fine as he just drove on past me and kept going and I smashed into the center divider of the freeway.
When I smashed into the center divider it helped to slow my van down and I slowed down more as I looked at my rear view mirror and saw that all the traffic behind me was slowed way down and letting me do what I'm going to do... So I drove my way over to the right and got off the freeway and pulled into a Gas Station on 14th Street in Riverside.
All my Dr. Peppers were all on my floor board under my feet making it like a pain in the ass to work the gas peddle and the brake...
Anyway,... I got out of my van and checked everything out... I thought maybe I might of had a tire blow out,.. but all my tires are fine... And I checked the front suspension too and everything looks fine there too.
So I picked up my Dr. Peppers and a bunch of other things that got all thrown around,... then decided that my van seems still drivable,.. so I got back on the freeway on my way to work again.
The linkage to my gas peddle has a bunch of slack in it now though and I wasn't able to get to freeway speed,.. so I decided to bring my van home and did so.
The damage on my van is,.. I've got a broken front windshield,... a broken blinker assembly,.. dented front quarter panel and my driver side door is pretty smashed,... and my floor board on the left side of my steering column has got a big bubble in it which raises that side of the floor board 3 inches or so.
The only thing that happened to me is my left hand smashed into my side window when I smashed into the center divider,.. and it smashed my pinky knuckle to the point where it was bleeding.
I call it kind of a freak accident because I'm not sure exactly what happened that caused me to go into that skid towards the center divider... I've thought that if I would of been the one that hit the Big Rig,.. that I would of noticed that I hit him and then swerved to my left to get away from him... But it wasn't like that... It was hearing a thump on my right and now I'm skidding to my left and realizing that I'm in a possible bad accident.
It really seems like he may of bumped me sending my van skidding to the left. But I see no evidence on the passenger side of my van showing me that he hit me or I hit him.
My Insurance is Liability only,.. so I'm going to have to pay for this accident at a bad time to be having to spend money... But one thing about it,... it sure could of been worse... I couldn't help but think as I was driving it home how nice it was to be able to drive my vehicle home instead of having to get it towed.
So,.. when I got home this morning after all that I checked my wrecked van out a little more and attempted to pound out some of the dents,... then went into the back and picked up all my tools and things that all got thrown over to the right side... And then I loaded my old work van and went to work.
Today I worked at my whole house remodel job painting exterior patio covers.
Then I came home and cleaned my brush and bucket,.. did my daily work notes,.. read and replied to my emails,.. showered,.. cooked myself a couple little Taco Burgers in what I think I'll call Los Amigos style,.. and then I went in and did all my dishes and fixed the cats their dinner.
And now I'm sitting here all done for the day. And I think I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little bit.
Just a few days ago I was noticing how wide my work van is while driving on the freeway. Like,.. there's only around 1 foot of room on either side of it before you get into the lanes beside you,... and I was thinking how I better be careful. My new van's cab is more narrow than it's back is. So from the front view you can think that your fine,... your still in your lane when the back of the van could be straying into the next lane.
Didn't notice myself to do that this morning,... but Big Rigs are wide too,.. maybe even wider than my van is,... which could give me and him very little room between us when passing each other... If we both strayed into each other lanes at the same moment it would be likely that one of us may bump the other.
And that's about it for my Monday.

Today I worked on cleaning my kitchen again most the day. And I vacuumed the living room.
Also today I did 2 loads of laundry,.. updated my work web site,.. ran back ups of my computer files,.. and ran a Microsoft OneCare Tune-up.
Then I went in and got cleaned up,.. and then made some cooking videos of myself cooking my dinner for tonight. There will be 2 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll be on top dated with today's date,.. Me making a home version of Taco Bell's Bellbeefers 1 and 2.
My Bellbeefers tasted real good,.. but they didn't taste like the old Bellbeefers that Taco Bell use to make... Maybe it was partly the flavor of the meat I used,.. I couldn't really tell,.. but what did stand out as different was the taste of the bread that I used... For some reason the taste of the hamburger buns stood out as if they're not the same flavor as the ones Taco Bell used.
For home made loose meat sandwiches,... I like my Taco Burgers better than my Bellbeefers. They taste just like the real hamburger Taco Burgers that I use to get over at a restaurant called Los Amigos 2. Which was one of my favorite items to get over there.
Then after all that I went in and cleaned my dishes,.. then fixed dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here with some online banking left to do,.. and after that I'm pretty much finished for today.
And that's going to be about it for my Sunday.

My day went by fast today... Working on cleaning my kitchen just made the day fly right by.
Also today I went over to Office Depot and picked up a few Boxes for Christmas gifts. And I went grocery shopping.
I did one load of laundry,.. cooked myself some Tacos,... and then fixed the cats dinner.
My Tacos that I made tonight were the best tasting Miguels Jr. Tacos that I've made so far. It's because I didn't salt or season the Morningstar Grillers Prime at all this time. Miguels Jr's hot sauce adds enough of a salty taste to the meat as it is. And plenty of spice too.
I've still gotta go in and finish washing my dishes,.. and I think I'm going to call it a day after that.
And that's about it for my Saturday.

Friday, November 28, 2008
Today I made out a couple Invoices for jobs,.. and I finished an estimate for another job.
I did a little Christmas shopping,.. and I think my Christmas shopping is pretty much finished.... I usually shop all year long for Christmas gifts... What I mean is,.. when I see something that I could get someone as a gift,.. I'll go ahead and get it no matter what Month it is and just set it aside till Christmas comes.
And I worked on cleaning my kitchen a little bit... Then fixed the cats their dinner,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Spinaci,.. Ravioli Di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli),.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arrabbiata sauce, though it looked and lasted like a double order today,.. I was out of sauce before I finished my dinner,.. my waitress wasn't there today),... and a glass of milk.
Just like Jack Nicholson in the movie "As Good As It Gets",... things just aren't the same when my waitress isn't there.
I was thinking today that my Malibu Chicken that I made for dinner last night turned out just like a Turkey if you over cook it... The inner part of the chicken patty was dry,.. and the outer crust was somewhat thick and hard.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Friday...

Thanksgiving Day...
Today I haven't really done a whole lot. I started out my day my getting an email from a girl from my High School that found my name on Classmates.com... I wrote to her yesterday after she gave me her email address in classmates.com. So I was thinking good about what she might be talking about.
But,.. I just happened to stick my foot in my mouth so to speak when I wrote to her,.. and said "You resemble my Aunt on my Dad's side of the family who is my Dad's mother's sister."
I was thinking that she kind of looks like she could be related to me and said so... But when I opened her return email today the only thing she said was,.. "you really know how to make a girl feel young,... telling me I look like your Grandma!
Made me feel like I was being like Jack Nicholson in the movie "As Good As It Gets"... So I had to write back to her and try to tell her what I really meant along with how I think she really looks.
She didn't even return my Happy Thanksgiving,... and didn't even sign her email.
And,... let me see here,... I went in and showered some time today,.. and then I decided to go in and make my Thanksgiving dinner. I went ahead and made a couple videos of it. They'll be on top in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page dated with today's date,... Me making My Thanksgiving Dinner 1 and 2.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Thanksgiving. I've still gotta fix the cats dinner,.. and then I think I'm going to go to bed and see about forgetting about these lousy F'n thoughts that I have on my mind... Which don't have anything to do with the emails that I wrote about up above.
My Thanksgiving dinner was good,... on my first bite it was like,.. man,. that taste exactly like Sizzler's Malibu Chicken. I did over cook the breading on the chicken a little bit though and it would of been better if I didn't do that.

This morning I didn't think I was going to go to work at all today,.. but I had a little job come up where they had a broken garage door spring,.. so I thought it may be important for them to have that fixed right away and went and fixed it.
Then I went over to another job that I now need to make out an estimate for.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read and responded to my emails,.. showered,.. and then went in and made myself some Tacos.
And then I fixed a quick dinner for the cats,.. and that's going to be about it for my Wednesday.

I saw a little video clip from the show called "The View" today where the women there were talking about sex... One of the women there said something like,... "Men think the greatest gift that they can give a woman is their penis,... the gift that keeps giving".
I'm going to speak for myself here as a Man and say,... "No",... never have I once thought of my penis as if it was a gift to give to a girl. Through my life,.. my penis has been lucky if it can be with a girl.
Even back when I had a girl friend,... it was lucky to get any love at all.
No,... it's not a gift,.... it's more of a wounded puppy.
Today for work I went over to my major whole house remodel job and started painting exterior patio covers and then it started raining. So I ended up coming home early today.
When I got home I cleaned my brush and bucket,.. did my daily work notes,... read my emails,... showered,.. and then updated my work web site with some pictures of my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house job that I just finished... For anybody that would like to see the page,.. here is a quick link directly to the page,.. Tom&AldyJob2008 ...
I would of put more pictures in there,.. but I didn't get a lot of good pictures of their house when I was working on it.
After all that I went in and made myself a couple Taco Burgers,.. and then fixed the cats a quick dinner... And then I spent some time doing software and driver updates on my main Desktop computer here.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Tuesday. I'm going to have tomorrow and all through Thanksgiving off from work if it's raining here tomorrow.

Today for work I went over to one house and painted her Powder room ceiling black. She had white walls with a white ceiling,.. actually,.. I think her white is called Swiss Coffee. So now it's Swiss Coffee (white) walls with a black ceiling. And I think it looks pretty cool. It goes well with her black toilet and sink that she has in there.
And then I went over to my major whole house remodel project and finished my day painting exterior patio covers.
Then I came home and cleaned my brushes and bucket,... read my emails,.. showered,.. and then made some cooking videos of myself making Tacos... There will be 4 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll all be on top dated with today's date,.. Me making Tacos 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Then I had my Tacos for dinner... Dinner was really good,.. I haven't had Tacos for a while. Gotta be careful not to salt my burger too much when using Miguel's Jr. Hot Sauce though,.. their hot sauce doesn't seem to have any sweetness to it,.. so my tacos tasted a little salty at first.
And then I went to my office and got these videos all converted and uploading to my web server... Then went back in to the house and did my dishes, and fixed the cats a quick dinner... My buddy Ronnie the cat may of got tired of waiting around for dinner and went over to my Mom's to eat,... so his food is sitting here getting cold.
I was thinking today how the song Blue Christmas is one that I haven't been able to sing to my liking. I think Elvis Presley's version of Blue Christmas is the best one I've ever heard,... and it's like I've got to sing it just like he does,.. and in his voice in order for me to like my singing of that song.
But just yesterday I heard one other version of Blue Christmas that sounded really good to me. It's Celine Dion's version of Blue Christmas... So now I can see that it may be possible for me to sing it in a different way than Elvis does to where I would like it.
I'm done making cooking videos for a few days. I'm just going to have Tacos and Taco Burgers for dinner again for the next couple nights. And then on Thanksgiving I'm going to make a cooking video or videos.
And that's going to be about it for my Monday.
It's cool to hear Todd Donaho on KLOS radio again. I like his personality and the way he talks sports.

Sunday, November 23, 2008
Today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats. And I ran back ups of my computer files here on my desk top computer,.. and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune-up on it.
And I went over to the Galleria Mall here in Riverside, California and got me some hot sauce from a restaurant called Miguels Jr. so I can make tacos next week that taste just like theirs do.
And I listened to a Christmas music station from AOL music for a while. Thought it was really cool except for how it will stop playing music after seems like after about 10 minutes of listening,... and then I've had to click on their Listen Now button again to play the station again for another 10 minutes or so. Maybe it's a radio that you have to pay for in order for it to keep playing without stopping,... I don't know.
And then after that I went in and made some more cooking videos of myself making Taco Burgers... There will be 2 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll be on top, dated with today's date,... Me making Taco Burgers 1 and 2...
Those taco burgers that I made in today's videos were very good too... They tasted just like the taco burgers that I use to get over at a restaurant here in my town called Los Amigos 2... I think I'll write down the recipe of exactly how I made them today,... so I have a reminder of how to make them for later.
Hmmm,.. I've been playing AOL radio while I've been sitting here now for over a half hour and it hasn't stopped playing... Earlier today I walked away from my computer a couple times to go do dishes or something,.. and then when I came back their radio wasn't playing anymore for some reason... It's like it will turn itself off when the computer has been inactive for a certain amount of time or something.
I don't know... But now that it's the end of my day and I'm all finished with my chores for the day... I just updated my work web site and I think that's going to be about it for my Sunday.
I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Saturday, November 22, 2008
Today I went and did a little grocery shopping after I showered and woke up. And I did some online banking and paid my bills. And I did 2 loads of laundry today.
Also today I made some videos of myself making Home Made Pasta. There will be 3 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll all be on top dated with today's date,.. Me making Home Made Pasta 1, 2 and 3.
And then I ate my Fettuccine Alfredo with my Arrabbiata sauce for dinner,.. cleaned all my dishes,.. and then cooked dinner for the cats.
My Home Made Pasta tasted like real pasta this time. The only thing about it though,... I couldn't tell any difference in the taste of it compared to the fresh egg pasta that I can buy over at Vons. So it's like the only reason I have to make my own pasta at this time is because I can make the noodles wider than the ones that I can buy.
My day went by really fast today. And that's about it for my Saturday.

Today I worked on my major whole house remodel punch list again,... and today I caulked and painted exterior patio covers.
Then I came home and cleaned my brush and bucket,.. did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. and then fixed the cats a quick dinner... I mixed a bunch of that Blue Cheese that I bought for my last Alfredo sauce in their food tonight and they acted like they didn't necessarily like the Blue cheese either. My buddy Ronnie the cat,.. he wouldn't eat it at all... So,.. even though I was against going back in at first,... I decided to go in and fix him something that he will eat.
My Mother use to do it for me. When she knew she was fixing something that I wouldn't eat,.. she would fix something different for me.
And then after all that I re-heated my left overs from Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had it for dinner myself.
And that's about it for my Friday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Today I worked on my major whole house remodel punch list again,... and today I painted exterior patio covers.
Then I came home and cleaned my brush and bucket,.. did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Ravioli Di Zucca (butternut squash ravioli),.. Spinaci,.. an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arrabbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
Their Alfredo sauce is milder tasting than all the Homemade Alfredo sauces that I made. I couldn't taste any cheese in their sauce,... or it's like I can't tell if it has any cheese in it at all. But I like theirs that way especially with their Arrabbiata sauce. I wouldn't be ordering Fettuccine Alfredo so often there if I didn't have their Arrabbiata sauce to go along with it.
Then I came home and fixed a quick dinner for the cats,... and now I'm sitting here about ready to go in and go to bed.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

Wednesday, November 19, 2008
Today I worked on my major whole house remodel punch list again,... and today I did some interior touch up painting,.. and started painting the exterior patio covers.
When I got home I cleaned up my brushes and buckets that I used today,... did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,.. then went in and made some videos of myself cooking an Asiago cheese type Alfredo sauce...
The new video will be on top in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page,.. dated with today's date,... Me cooking an Asiago cheese alfredo sauce.
And then I had my dinner. My dinner was actually good,.. although that Asiago cheese alfredo sauce had something funky about it... I was able to hide the funkiness with my Arrabbiata sauce... I think maybe it could of been the Blue cheese that I put in it. So next time I won't put any Blue cheese in it.
The reason I thought Blue cheese may of been good was because that Alfredo Sauce pouch that I used for a powdered cheese version of Alfredo sauce had Blue cheese in it.
I'm thinking right now that I should strive more towards a mild good tasting sauce. Tonight's sauce was a pretty strong tasting one.
I just over heard from my Uncle's TV as I went in to do my dishes,.. on the News they said someone put a billboard up that says,... "Imagine No Religion". Sounds like they put it up somewhere here in my town. They said Riverside, San Bernardino area.
And I thought,... "Imagine One Religion". One religion based on the Truth that everybody goes by because they know what the truth is.
I think I'll have to be able to finish my job for God for that to happen. And I was thinking just yesterday how,... if I'm able to finish the job for God that I have,... it should be a very happy day for the creator of this world.
And now at the end of my day I just finished fixing the cats a very quick dinner,.. and I'm about ready to go in and go to bed.
And that's it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked on my major whole house remodel punch list again,... and today I painted some interior trim and touch up painted the walls around their fireplace,... and did some more exterior caulking on their exterior patio covers.
Then I stopped at Gerrards Market in Redlands again and picked up some more ingredients to make another Alfredo sauce tonight.
And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. showered,.. and then made a video of myself cooking my Fettuccine Alfredo for tonight's dinner. The new video will be in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page on top dated with today's date,... Me cooking Fettuccine Alfredo for dinner tonight.
I got my sauce right this time. I can go ahead and write that recipe down now. It will be my Parmesan Alfredo Sauce,.. because that's the flavor that stood out the most in it.
Had to let it cook near 15 minutes for the sauce to thicken up this time.
Man,.. that Whiskey tasting Egg Nog that I broke out in today's video,... that stuff taste like the type of drink that you would drink out of a shot glass. It's a bit on the strong side for Me.
Today they were talking about how breaking up from a relationship can be hard to do on the radio. And they were also talking about "which is it better to be,.. the dumper or the one that gets dumped?...
For me it has seemed like being the dumper is the harder one to do... But now days,.. with the thoughts I've had on Mutual Love,... I've realized that a relationship should be a Mutual thing. And it's like,.. that's all that 2 people that are in a relationship need to know. Maybe that's all that everybody needs to know.
"If it's not a Mutual thing,... then it's not right". Some people choose to stay together even when it's not right between them for their Kids... And I think that's Ok though... And I also think,... but it don't have to be that way either. I think it's up to the Parents to decide what their going to do.
And for the end of my day I went in and did all my dishes and fixed the cats a quick dinner,... and that's about it for my Tuesday... I'm about ready for bed here at about 7:30pm.

Monday, November 17, 2008
Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel again just working on finishing their final punch list. I was filling a lot of cracks in exterior wood patio covers today. And then I went over to another job where I sanded out some flaws in their living room baseboards and put a coat of paint on them.
On the way home today I stopped at Gerrards Market in Redlands and picked up some more Fettuccine Noodles,... and some Parmesan & Romano cheese,... the type you would use to sprinkle on foods. And man,.. this store has a very nice selection of cheeses. They even have little bowls out next to some of their cheeses with cheese samples in them so you can taste some of the cheeses... I tasted Asiago cheese for the first time today,.. and it was a really tasty cheese.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,... and then tried to make another of my own Alfredo sauces... This time the sauce didn't thicken up again,.. so I put a little cornstarch in it,... and it thickened it up.
The only difference I did today from yesterday's Alfredo sauce was I didn't use any of that packaged powdered cheese. What I used was the Parmesan & Romano cheese that I purchased today at Gerrards Market... And when I finally tasted the sauce,... I didn't put enough cheese in the recipe. It didn't taste like it had any cheese in it. It was more like a morning gravy for Biscuits than it was an Alfredo sauce... So,... I've gotta keep working on my sauce now until I get it perfected.
My dinner was good anyway though. The gravy like Alfredo sauce that I made went very well along with my Arrabbiata sauce over Fettuccine noodles.
And then after all that I fixed the cats a quick dinner and now I'm sitting here all done for the day.
Today I heard that it's Martin Scorcese's birthday today. And I can see now at TVguide.com that it's true,.. it is his birthday today... That's 2 things that me and him have in common now that I know of.
Well,.. I think that's going to be about it for my day today.

Today is my Birthday. I'm 46 years old today. And what I did today was,... I ran back ups of my computer files,.. and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune-up on my Main Desktop computer.... I did one load of laundry,.. and went over to the grocery store to check on some different cheeses to try in a Alfredo Sauce.
And then I made some new cooking videos. Attempted to make my own Pasta today,.. and made a new Alfredo sauce.
The Alfredo sauce was very good. It can be my Alfredo sauce that I make at home. The only thing I might try out next time is instead of using a packaged powdered cheese,... use Parmesan and Romano cheese in the shaker style. The type that you use to sprinkle on things.
There's going to be 4 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll all be on top, dated with today's date,.. Me making home made pasta 1 and 2,... and,.. Me cooking my own version of Alfredo Sauce 1 and 2.
That Bangles song that I sang yesterday,... "Eternal Flame",.. that's a real cool sounding song,... and I think it's a really cool written song too...
I sang it better yesterday than I did the last time,.. so I think I'm going to get rid of the old video that I made for that song and keep the new one that I made yesterday.
Lots of orange butterflies around my house lately. They're putting cocoons all over my house. I just happen to glance down at one of the caterpillars today,... and the caterpillars just happen to be orange and light blue... I've got these vines with flowers on them on my front fence that the butterflies appear to be attracted to.
Making my own Pasta dough was pretty cool... I didn't like eating the dough that I made though... So I think I'm going to have to try some different flours next time,.. along with rolling it out about as thin as I can... It appeared to thicken up a bit when it cooked.
And I guess that's about it for my Birthday. I've gotta update my work web site,.. and then I'm gonna go to bed.

Saturday, November 15, 2008
Today I got up a little early so that I could put my trash out before the trash Man came. It's been real windy lately,.. and if I put my trash out the night before,.. the wind will blow the trash cans over and scatter the trash all over mine and my neighbors yards too.
Then soon after that I went grocery shopping,... and then came home and put my groceries away,.. did one load of laundry,... and did some online banking and paid my bills.
And then I started getting prepared to cook a Arrabbiata sauce and make a video. But I've been having to wait for my Uncle all day today. My house here isn't the ideal place for making cooking videos,... I've always got to deal with what my room mate is or may be doing.
I decided to keep this house because of him. He needs to be able to live close to my Mother so that she can help him with his medical things. If I could afford 2 homes,... I would of already purchased a second home for Me,... but I can't.
Ok,.. but I was able to make some cooking videos today. There will be 5 new cooking videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll all be on top dated with today's date,... Me cooking an Arrabbiata Sauce recipe that I found online 1, 2 and 3,... and,.. Me cooking an Alfredo Sauce recipe that I found online 1 and 2...
Here is a couple links to the actual recipes that I made today,... Arrabbiata Sauce ... And,... Alfredo Sauce ...
I liked both recipes. The Arrabbiata sauce recipe can be the Arrabbiata sauce that I make at my house until I find one I like better. The Alfredo sauce tasted good. But it never thickened up like it seems like it should... I got a couple tips online,... one of them was,.. "don't add so much butter and it can help the sauce to thicken",.. and another tip was,.. "using organic half and half can be tastier than heavy cream"...
So tomorrow maybe I'll try and make the Alfredo recipe again but with a few tweaks to the recipe... I think I'll go with garlic powder instead of real garlic too because real garlic can make the sauce have lumps in it.
One of my videos that I made today is over 17 minutes long... From my web site it played completely through without stopping on my computer with it's cable internet connection... It may not play without having to stop on slower internet connections though... I didn't realize that the video was taking so much time as I was making it.
Also today I fixed a quick dinner for the cats,.. they got their dinner with Alfredo sauce poured over it tonight,... and they gobbled it up like they were having something good for dinner tonight.
And I reviewed all my new videos once I got them in my site here... One of the last Alfredo Videos I stopped without saying anything because company was walking in the door as I was making it,... and then another one stopped before I could finish it because my video recorders battery went dead.
I had my Fettuccine Alfredo along with my Arrabbiata sauce for dinner tonight.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Saturday.... Oh,.. I made a last minute decision and decided to sing the song that was playing at the grocery store this morning and I put the video of it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It will be the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me singing the song that was playing at the grocery store when I was there this morning.

Today I worked on 2 jobs. First I had to go over to one house and caulk and paint a living room base board,.. and then I went over to my major whole house remodel project and worked on getting their final punch list completed.
After that I came home and did my daily work notes,.. sat down in a bath for a little bit and then showered,.. ate part of my left over Green Bean Casserole and part of my left overs from the restaurant Pomodoro Cucina Italiana,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
Sometimes left overs can be good... But tonight they just tasted like plain old left overs.
And after all that I did some research on how to make my own Pasta Dough... Looks pretty easy,.. and worth making... One chef did say "do not add oil to the boiling water to keep the pasta from sticking" though. He said it as if it don't help at all. He said,.. "it's just a waste of oil"...
I think "maybe so" for fresh made pasta,... but have found that it does seem to help when cooking dried pastas. But then,.. just stirring your pasta often while it's boiling could work just fine without adding any butter or oil to the water too.
I'm going to try a couple recipes out this weekend. An Arrabbiata Sauce and an Alfredo Sauce. I don't know if I'll try making my own pasta yet,... I did find some fresh egg Fettuccine Noodles at the grocery store last week that I'm going to use for the Alfredo sauce that I make probably tomorrow.
And that's it for my Friday.
Oh,.. and I decided to remove that Wide Screen Video player and it's videos from my Video Archives page just so that I have more room for new videos.

Today I worked on one house where I finished installing a toilet,.. had to cut the carpet so that it fit the new toilet bottom. And I patched a hole in the living room wall where the Plumbers had to open up the wall to fix a leak in their water pipes...
And then I went over to another job,... my major whole house remodel job that I was working on earlier this year,... and got started working on a little punch list now that their house is about completed.
And then when I got home I did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,... and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a very good dinner.
Dinner tasted really good tonight... I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Ravioli Di Zucca (Butternut Squash Ravioli),.. Spinaci,.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arrabbiata sauce),... and a glass of milk.
They have cooking demonstrations every once in a while at this restaurant. A chef shows everybody how to make some of their recipes right there in the middle of the restaurant... I went to one of them. And thought it was pretty cool too. I like they're style there.
And that's going to be about it for my Thursday... I'm about ready for bed.

Wednesday, November 12, 2008
Today I worked on a new job installing a couple toilets. It's not really a new job though,.. I have been working for these people off and on for years now.
And then I stopped by the bank on the way home and deposited a check. Then came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. loaded my van for tomorrow,... fixed a quick dinner for the cats,.. showered,... and then had me a bowl of my Green Bean Casserole that I made last night.
And that's pretty much it for my Wednesday. I've got about an hour and a half before I can make a phone call that I'm going to make,.. and then I'm going to bed.

Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Today I had the day off kind of... I'm in between jobs,.. so I took this day to make up an Invoice for a job,.. made some calls about work for tomorrow,.. and I cleaned out the back of my work van.
And I went over to Vons and did a little grocery shopping,.. picked up a few things to make a homemade Alfredo Sauce and Arrabbiata Sauce... And I made a new video as I cooked Green Bean Casserole. I put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page,... it's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking Green Bean Casserole for the first time ever.
The Green Bean Casserole was quite good. Worth making again in that same recipe. And I especially liked it topped with plain black pepper and Parmesan cheese... In the video when I said,.. "ouch",.. but didn't bother telling why I said that,... I kind of bit the inside of my cheek is what happened there.
And after all that,... I fixed a quick dinner for the cats,.. and then sat down and watched a movie called "Lucky#Slevin".
I had Green Bean Casserole for dinner tonight. And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Monday, November 10, 2008
Today I went over to my Aunt and Uncle's house and pretty much finished the job... I had one section of exterior decking to finish because I ran of the waterproofer that I was using,.. and I did some touch up painting on the exterior trim where it needed it.
And then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,.. looked at a bunch of Alfredo sauce recipes online,.. showered,.. and then made a video of myself cooking my dinner for tonight...
Not really a video that I think of as a keeper,... more just a quick cooking my dinner video. I put the video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page,.. it's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking my dinner for this evening - A quick Fettuccine Alfredo.
I said in the video that the Alfredo sauce I was using there had a bit of a salty taste to it,... but I didn't notice that when I sat down and ate it for dinner... Actually it had a good flavor and tasted good with my spaghetti sauce that I made the other day too...
But,.. it didn't taste as good as the Fettuccine Alfredo and Arrabbiata sauce that I get over at Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana. So I'll make it different next time.
One of the things about the Fettuccine that I made tonight that I thought could of been better was how it was cooked. I left it a little on the under cooked side,.. which you could hardly notice when just eating a piece of it,... I mean it was still quite tender though it could of been cooked longer,... but the thing about it was,... it wasn't the type of Fettuccine that you could eat with a spoon (slippery and somewhat firm making it hard to cut with a spoon),... it was much easier to eat it with a fork.
Over at the restaurant Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana they give you a spoon to eat their Fettuccine Alfredo with. And it works great. I like eating it with a spoon. When I eat it with a fork,.. most the time I end up twirling too much fettuccine on to my fork,.. and it makes for a giant mouthful of food.
It's just more pleasurable for me if I'm not over stuffing my mouth with food when I eat... I'm definitely not the kind of guy that cares to be in any of those eating contests.
Well,.. I've got about 6 different Alfredo recipes that I found online here that I can try out now,... even one from the Olive Garden,... it appears that lot's of people have noticed and like the taste of the Olive Garden's Alfredo sauce,.. I noticed it to be very good too... So I think I'll make my own Alfredo sauce next time from one of these recipes that I have.
I also read that fresh egg pasta is greatly preferred over dried pasta too,... and I checked the grocery store for it but they didn't have any... I've bought it before though,.. and I think I might be able to get it at another grocery store.
That's about it for my Monday. My web server has been down for a while today,.. but it looks like they've got every thing back up and running now.

Today I started out my day on my computer,.. ran some back ups of my computer files,... ran a Microsoft OneCare tune-up on my computer,.. and went through my singing video files and turned a bunch of the videos into audio only files to see how they sound.
Then I did a load of laundry,... and then went over to a different Stater Brothers than I went to yesterday and got me some of my Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.
And then I decided to check online to see if I could find any Arrabbiata Sauce recipes,.. and did find about 4 of them... One of them is very similar to the sauce that I made in yesterday's Rigatoni videos that I made. The only difference is they don't put any meat or mushrooms in theirs,.. and they add one finely chopped Serrano Pepper (seeds and all) to the sauce.
There's another of these Arrabbiata sauce recipes that looks to be more like what I get over at Pomodoro Restaurant,... it looks that way because it has all kinds of spices in it,.. kind of like theirs looks... Think I might make that recipe next time I make a spaghetti sauce. Try it out.
I also found a Green Bean Casserole recipe online too that I'm going to try out maybe next week... I got this Green Bean Casserole over in the Vons deli section around the first of this year,.. it was the first time I ever tried Green Bean Casserole,... and it was very good,... but Vons stopped selling it for some reason.
And then after that I went in and made myself a plate of my Homemade spaghetti sauce and Rigatoni along with garlic bread made in the ovens broiler this time. And I liked it better that way too. And my spaghetti sauce tasted good yesterday,.. and even better today... Sometimes spaghetti sauces are like that for some reason.
And then I watched another baseball movie that I thought was good called,.. "The Pride Of The Yankees". I'm going to put it on my favorite movies page here in my web site.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Sunday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Saturday, November 8, 2008
Today I did one load of laundry,.. and I went grocery shopping and to the bank and deposited a check...
I did some online banking and paid some bills,.. and I went over to Radio Shack and picked up a few stereo jacks for plugging in RCA type cords to my amplifier,... and then went into Vons to see if they had any of my Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper.... (They didn't,.. and neither did Stater Brothers).
And then I made a bunch of videos as I cooked my dinner. I put the new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They're all on top,... 4 of them all dated with today's date,... Me Cooking Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Rigatoni 1, 2, 3 and 4.
And I watched another baseball movie called "Eight Men Out",... and updated my Favorite movies page 40 here in my web site.
And now I'm sitting here all done for the day having one of my Creamy Cinnamon Martini cocktail drinks.
As I was updating my Favorite movies page and came across the movie "The JerK",.. I thought,.. seems like I've got it in me to play the part of "Son of The Jerk"...
And then I thought,.. well,.. I don't know about "Son of" or not,.. but I can see myself being able to do some of those parts that Steve Martin did as The Jerk.
And I suppose that's going to be about it for my Saturday. It's nice that my headache went away,.. (it always is),.. I woke up with a headache this morning that lasted til about noon.

Friday, November 7, 2008
Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again where I finally figured out how to mix up their original Stucco color and did a bunch of touch up color coating on their stucco.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,.. fixed a quick dinner for the cats,.. and then cooked myself a frozen style pizza for dinner... It was a pizza I got over at Target. It's from Archer Farms, handmade, imported from Italy, Buffalo Mozzarella and Roasted Tomato, Salerno style wood-fired pizza.
It was pretty tasty... For me it was especially tasty in the Roasted Tomato sections.
I thought I heard that Buffalo Mozzarella was the best,... but I didn't notice anything special about it on this pizza.
And then I watched a movie that I borrowed from my Aunt and Uncle called "The Jackie Robinson Story".
I thought it was a good movie... Lot's of people coming across as really good people in that movie. And even some that came across as not so good a people eventually changed into coming across as good and likable people.
It says it was a movie from the year 1950. And they said something at the end of that movie that seems odd for that time,... and it fit right into this time and year too.
They said ,... The Jackie Robinson story is one that could only happen in a Country that is truly free,.. a place where every child has the opportunity to become President or play baseball for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
And I suppose that's going to be about it for my Friday. Think I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little bit.

Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,... showered,... fixed a quick dinner for the cats,... and then went out to the restaurant Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a really good dinner.
Dinner tasted extra good tonight,.. I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Cavolini (Brussels Sprouts),.. Spinaci,... Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
And that's going to be about it for my Thursday.... It's still early,... it's only a little after 7:00pm,.. and I'm thinking that I'm going to go in and go to bed early.

Tuesday, November 4, 2008
Well today I had a nice kick back, easy, not a lot of things to do kind of day for a change... All I have up at my Aunt and Uncle's house for work now is exterior work,.. and it was raining as I drove up to their house today...
So I decided to stop of at the hardware store and get some more materials that I'm going to need up there,.. then went over to another job where the carpenter is finally all finished with their house,.. so now I've got a small punch list of work to finish up there at that job and I'll be done too.
Then I stopped off at the Redlands Paint store and picked up a few more items and decided to come back home due to the rain.
When I got home I did my daily work notes and read my emails,... pulled some equipment out of my new work van and loaded it with some supplies from my garage,.. and then checked the wiring on my interior cab dome light in my new work van and got it working again.
And then I changed into some more comfortable clothes,... cooked myself a Morningstar Italian Herb Chik patty sandwich,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now it's going on 4:30pm here and I'm thinking I'm going to go in and go to bed nice and early tonight.
And that's going to be it for my Tuesday.

Today I started out my day by taking my Toyota Truck over to a Radiator shop and dropped it off there,.. then I rode my bicycle home and went to work over at my Aunt and Uncle's house where I got started on applying a waterproofer to their exterior decks.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. and then took my bicycle back over to the Radiator shop and picked up my Toyota Truck... It's got a new radiator now and new radiator hoses,.. cap and thermostat.
And then I came back home and showered,... made a video of me cooking my dinner for tonight and made myself a Italian Herb chik patty sandwich,.. and then fixed a quick dinner for the cats.
Not that crazy over the way I'm looking in the video that I made this evening,.. but I'll go ahead and put it in my All Video Player for a while. I figure it will be one of the videos I remove when I start running out of disc space. It will be the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking my Italian Herb Chik patty sandwich for dinner tonight.
And after I get the video all uploaded to my web server and playing online in my web site it's going to be about my bed time.
So,.. I think that's going to be about it for my Monday.
I did put my version of Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's A Nightmare On My Street on my ipod and listened to it in audio form only today while I was at work,.. and it surprised me by not sounding too bad in audio only... Some of the songs I've sang don't sound good in audio only to me,.. I don't like my Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies at all in audio only.
When I first saw my 2 What A Wonderful World videos I thought it was my Mic version that sounded best,... but after I watched them both online and heard them both in audio only,.. it's the No Mic version that I like the sound of best now.

Sunday, November 2, 2008
Today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,... I updated my work web site,.. and ran back ups on my computer files and ran a Microsoft OneCare Tune up on my computer... And then I made another attempt to install Windows Service Pack 3 to my Windows XP computer,.. but it still won't install,.. so it gets to stay with it's Service Pack 2.
And I did one load of laundry today,.. and went over to the La Sierra Natural Foods store and did some shopping,... and also went over to Bed Bath & Beyond and got a few things... This spatula that I just bought a few days ago was so flimsy that it was like a pain in the ass to use,.. so one of the things I got over at Bed Bath & Beyond was a nice sturdy spatula.
And I also cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and made myself a Morningstar Italian Herb Chik patty sandwich made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and Mayonnaise all on a hamburger bun.
And then I watched some videos in YouTube of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's A Nightmare On My Street... When I was learning to sing that song I thought that I may of heard the song before,.. but didn't remember ever hearing it. And now after I heard it in YouTube,.. I'm not sure I ever heard their version of their song until today.
It's cool,.. I like their version,.. and I can still like my version too after hearing theirs. Mine is a little different,.. but I like how I'm doing it... I did mess up on the words a few times in my video that I put in My All Video Player,.. but it's not those mess ups that bother me so much... The one that I think needs to be fixed mostly is where I come in too early with the line "But on my street". But it's still not that awful bad right there to me.
Well,.. It's early tonight due to the time change... It's only 5:30 here now,... and I'm thinking I'll probably just end up going to bed a little earlier tonight is all.
And that's it for my Sunday.

Saturday, November 1, 2008
Today I did some grocery shopping,... I took my Toyota over to a Radiator shop to get it fixed and the shop was closed today, so I'm going to have to do it on Monday... I did one load of laundry,.. I went to the Post Office and mailed out an Invoice,.. I went to the bank and deposited a couple checks,... and I did some online banking and paid my bills...
And I showered,... then cooked myself a Morningstar hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And after all that I sat down and watched the movie called "Fletch"... It's been over 20 years since I've seen that movie,... and it was like I hardly remembered it at all as I was watching it.
I learned something new the other day. A friend of mine that was here just happened to mention that people were able to send pictures from their phones to his computer. So I decided to try to send myself pictures from my new cell phone to my computer and found out that "Yes",.. I can get the pictures off of my cell phone now by sending them to my email.
The camera on that phone seemed somewhat useless when the only thing it appeared to be good for was making my own little cell phone wall papers.
And that's going to be about it for my Saturday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little bit.

Friday, October 31, 2008
Today I worked over at my Aunt and Uncle's house again where I did some touch up painting in the garage and did some more color samples on their stucco.
Then I came home a little early so that I could make a Halloween video,.. and then did my daily work notes,.. read my emails,... cleaned up a little bit then put a wig and some make up on,... and then made a bunch of singing videos...
I practiced this song every day when I got home from work this week,... but after making about 30 videos of it,.. I was only able to come up with one that I think is "going to have to do"...
I kept messing up because I was attempting to look at the camera instead of the words to the song... Seems to me that it could help a lot if I could actually learn all the words to a song that I was singing...
I can't sing a single song that I've sang without having to read the words to it as I'm singing it... I may even know all the words to a few of these songs that I've sang,.. but having them come to me in the correct order as I'm singing a song is like "I'm being denied access to the next lines" or they just come to me wrong...
I'm putting one new video in my All Video Player that is on my Video Archives page today. It'll be the video on top dated with today's date,.. Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince's - A Nightmare On My Street.
And then I got today's video all de-green screened and uploaded to my web server,.. and then figured out how to put background images on my pages again (my old html writing style didn't work anymore and I had to change to a style sheet method), and then decided to decorate for Halloween a little bit in my web site here. I forgot all about decorating this year until now.
And after all that I went in and made myself a Morningstar hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun,... then fixed the cats a quick dinner,... reviewed my video from today now that it's online,... then went in and cleaned my make up off and went to bed.
And that's about it for my Halloween.

Today I cleaned out the back of my new work van and loaded it for work tomorrow,.. and checked and added some motor oil... I did one load of laundry... I went over to Lowe's and got some air compressor parts...
I went to Target and got some Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper and some other things... I updated my work web site,... and ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up on my computer...
And I cooked myself another one of those Morningstar Italian Herb Chik Pattie sandwiches made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and Mayonnaise all on a hamburger bun,... then cooked a nice dinner for the cats...
And then I watched a bunch of videos in YouTube of the song called What A Wonderful World,.. and put my No-Mic version of the song in there too... It's a cool old song. And it's like everybody sings it a little different. I saw a bunch of great sounding versions of the song,.. and I still like mine too. So I think I did Ok with that song.
And then I finished my day doing a little singing and then went in and went to bed.
And that's it for my Sunday.

Saturday, October 25, 2008
Today I did one load of laundry,... I went grocery shopping,.. and I did some online banking and paid my bills...
And I also made a bunch of music videos which is what has taken up the majority of my day today.
Tonight there will be 5 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They'll all be on top dated with today's date,... Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies,... Kiss's Rock And Roll All Night,... Heart's Magic Man (Magic Girl for me),... and a song called What A Wonderful World with and without a Mic.
The song What A Wonderful World was just the next song on the karaoke disc after Kiss's Rock And Roll All Night and I decided to sing it one day when it started playing after I sang Rock And Roll All Night. And it sounded like I've got a good voice for that song,... so that's why I did that song today too.
I don't know that I've ever heard the song before,... but I'm liking my version of it.
And then after all that I fixed myself a Morningstar Italian Herb Chik pattie sandwich made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and Mayonnaise all on a hamburger bun... It was really good too,... that's the first one of those that I've tried.
And I didn't have to fix dinner for the cats tonight,... none of them were gathered around for dinner tonight...
And that's about it for my Saturday. I'm just going to review all my videos now that their all online now,... and then go to bed.

Today for work I had to go over to one job and check it out to see what her possibilities were for installing a new dryer. The new dryers are bigger than her old one and may need to be moved into the garage... And then I worked the rest of the day at my Aunt and Uncle's house filling concrete cracks and painting the roll up garage door.
When I came home a couple friends pulled in and took about 2 hours away from my chore time... They had to show me this famous video called "2 girls 1 cup". And all the videos of peoples reactions to the video too.
One of my thoughts after seeing the video,... "some dogs will do it,.. so I suppose that some humans may be able to acquire a taste for it as well".
And then when they went home I did my daily work notes,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. and then made myself a meatless smoked turkey sandwich made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and Miracle Whip all on a hamburger bun.
And now it's getting late,.. and I think I'm going to do a little singing and then go to bed...
And that's it for my Friday.

Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,... fixed dinner for the cats,... and then went out to the restaurant Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a very good dinner...
I had Fettucine Alfredo,.. Ravioli Di Zucca,... Spinaci,.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arribbiata sauce),... and a glass of milk.
And then I came home,... did a little singing and then went to bed.
And that's it for my Thursday.

Today I worked over at my Aunt and Uncle's house again painting exterior trim... I've just about got the trim all painted,... most of it is taking 2 coats,... not for color reasons,.. but because it just looks better with 2 coats. It hides the brush lap marks from the first coat of paint and gives it a richer more solid looking coat of paint.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... read my emails,.. showered,.. cooked myself a Morningstar hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,... and thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun.
And then I cooked the cats a nice dinner,... and then did some singing.
And that's it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked over at my Aunt and Uncle's house again painting exterior trim.
Then I stopped by the bank on the way home and deposited a check,.. then came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked myself a Morningstar Hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato (almost a half inch thick),... thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun.
And then I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and did a little singing.
Sometimes I get the impression that people can see me at work now days... Just like it seemed back in my original couch writing when it seemed like there was some satellite camera on me at all times...
If so,... you may of seen my Aunt and Uncle's dogs... Their names are Jack and Georgia... Jack is the white and beige one,... and Georgia is the brown one... I just met them when I started this job a Month or so ago... They act like they're boyfriend and girlfriend at times. Loving towards each other. Georgia is a real friendly lovable like dog,.. and when I first met them,.. Jack didn't act like he necessarily liked how friendly Georgia was towards me... But now he's getting to where he acts like he genuinely likes me too.
I think giving him some of those dog bisquits that my Uncle has sitting on his work bench may of helped.
And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats. And cooked them a nice dinner... I ran back ups of my computer files,.. and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up...
I charged the battery in my old GMC work van and ran it for a little while... I rinsed off my new work van,... and went and did a little grocery shopping over at the La Sierra Natural Foods Store...
I updated my work web site,.. and made my Calendars for November and December... (I make up my own calendars in my Golden Section Notes pad here on my computer)...
And I showered,... did a little singing,... and cooked myself a couple little meatless smoked turkey sandwiches made with Miracle Whip,.. shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato all on hamburger buns.

Today I started out my day reading my emails and waking up,.. and then I went out and did some grocery shopping...
And then I came home and put my groceries away,... then went out to Pep Boys automotive supply store and got some oil for my new work van along with a new mirror for my driver's side door. Last week the glass and plastic that was holding it in fell out and broke the mirror.
And then I came home and installed my new mirror and got them both (the driver's side and the passengers side) adjusted more to my liking...
And I also did a couple loads of laundry today,... and did some online banking and paid my bills,... and removed some videos from my web site here that I didn't think needed to be in here anymore.
And then a friend of mine came over to barrow a long plank,... so I visited with him for a little while,... then cooked the cats a nice dinner,.. and after that I cooked myself a Morningstar hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. and thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun.
And that's going to be about it for my Saturday. I'm probably just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

The last couple days I've had thoughts coming to mind as if the person that played the role of Doogie Howser doesn't necessarily like seeing the name Doogie Howser in my web site...
So today I thought I'd go ahead and change that for him...
There is something about the name "Doogie",... maybe that's part of his reason if these thoughts I had coming to mind are true... I thought the show was pretty cool.
Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again,... and today I got started with painting the exterior trim.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,.. cooked myself a Morningstar Hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,... and thousand island dressing all on a hamburger bun...
And then I cooked the cats a nice dinner,... and now I'm sitting here pretty much done for the day.
And that's going to be about it for my Friday... Think I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... made up an Invoice for a job,... showered,.. fixed dinnner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a very good dinner...
Tonight I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Spinaci,.. Ravioli Di Zucca,... Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribiatta sauce),.. a glass of milk,.. and I also tried their new Baked Manicotti,... which was good,... for some reason the filling in it seemed rich though,... kind of like cheesecake does to me.
And that's going to be about it for my Thursday... I've still gotta take out the trash and then I'm going to bed.

Today I had extra things to do because they didn't get done yesterday.
So what I did today was,... I did one load of laundry,.. I updated my work web site,... I mowed the lawn and weed eated,... I ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft Onecare tune up,... I cleaned out the back of my new work van and loaded it for work tomorrow...
I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner... I finished a painting estimate for a job,... and I cooked myself a couple little meatless smoked turkey sandwiches made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,... with Miracle Whip on hamburger buns.
And I also did some online banking and paid my bills... And I put a new video in my YouTube videos. It's Alice Cooper's Be My Lover,.. and it's basically the same video I put in my All Video Player,... but it is a different video than the one I put in there so my moves and singing is slightly different.
I'm not planning on attempting to make a better Alice Cooper's Cold Ethyl video. I don't have that song on karaoke,.. so I have to sing it along with him,... and I don't know that I'll be able to make a video that I like doing it that way.... I dig that song though...
And that's going to be about it for my Sunday... Think I might vacuum my office in a little while and then I'm going to go to bed.

Today I went grocery shopping first thing this morning,... and I did one load of laundry,.. and I made a few music videos.
Then I also cooked myself a Morningstar Hamburger made with shredded lettuce,.. a thick slice of tomato,.. thousand island dressing on a hamburger bun. And then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
Making videos today took most my day,... so I didn't get much else done... And I put 3 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. Their all on top dated with today's date,.. and their all Alice Cooper songs.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Saturday.

Today for work I had to go over to a new job. It's a job where they've got a bunch of things that need to be fixed on a house. Had to install a gas line to a dryer,... installed a new sink drain assembly to a bathroom sink,... tightening up and fixing a bunch of cabinet door hinges,.. touch up staining cabinets where their all scratched up,.. etc...
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Ravioli Di Zucca,.. Spinaci,.. Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arribbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
They told me the reason they weren't open yesterday was that someone or some people actually stole their Electrical circuit breaker that ran the whole complex. They said that circuit breaker was worth $15,000.00 dollars.
They may of stole more than just a circuit breaker though,... I've never heard of a circuit breaker that's worth $15,000.00 dollars before,... but that's how they told it to me.
And that's going to be about it for my Friday... I might practice sing a few songs here tonight,.. and then I'm going to go to bed.

Today I worked over at my Aunt and Uncle's house again just scraping, sanding and patching exterior woodwork...
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats then went over to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and found out that they had an electricle problem today,.. so they were closed. All the food places in the whole complex were closed due to the problem.
So I decided to come home and make myself a Morningstar Hamburger,.. made with shredded luttuce,.. a thick slice of tomato and thousand island dressing on a hamburger bun.
Mark & Brian on KLOS radio had a really good show today. They had John Oates from Hall & Oates call the show. And also had the musician James Taylor on the show today.
It was cool to get to know John Oates a little bit,... the only things I knew about him were what he looks like along with hearing Brian's short jokes about him over the years.
And it was really cool getting to know James Taylor too,.. I didn't know anything about him either until now.... I like how he did the song called "Hound Dog" on his new CD.
And that's it for my Thursday.

Today I updated my work web site,... I ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft Onecare tune up on my computer.
I went through all my fonts on my desktop computer and made a 4 page list of the names of all the ones that I like along with what they look like and put it on my wall above my computer so I have quick and easy access for picking out fonts.

Today I went grocery shopping first thing this morning and also went to the bank and deposited a check.
And I did 2 loads of laundry,.. and did some online banking and paid all my bills.
Then I finished a painting estimate for a new job. And after that I made a few singing videos. I went ahead and put one of them in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the one on top dated with today's date,... A song called Rockin' Pnuemonia And The Boogie Woogie Flu.
I don't know that I know the song or have ever heard it before,... so I just sang it with a way that I came up with... Not sure what the best way is to do that line "well alright yeah" in the middle of the song,.. and the screams at the end of the song too,.. I'm not sure I've got those to my liking,... but in the video I put in here today it don't sound that bad to me how I did those parts.
And then after all that I cooked myself a couple little meatless smoked turkey sandwiches,.. then cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And now it's going on 6:00pm here and my day is pretty much done. So I'm thinking that I'm going to go to bed early tonight... And that's it for my Saturday.

There's something about saying that I like Horror movies or listing them as some of my favorite movies.
I was hesitant to list the movie "The Shining" on my favorite movies page,.. and still haven't added some of the other horror films that entertained me.
But when I say "entertained me",... I mean that in a different way than other types of films entertain me.
Take the movie "The Shining" for instance,... it's not that I "liked the film",.. it's more that "it entertained me by keeping me on the edge of my seat". I thought it was entertaining by being a bit scary and that it was a well made movie with great acting.
Today on my drive home I had a thought come to mind like this,... "now Alice Cooper could use some help".... I had the thought come to mind yesterday too but without the "now" on it.
I don't really know Alice Cooper at all. I've never seen one of his concerts,.. but I did see a couple of his videos on YouTube.
But being that I don't know him,.. all I can say is what I've thought on my own about him,.. or I should say,... about his shows or concerts or acts.
I think he may be into "Horror" and "Halloween type things",... so if you go to see a Alice Cooper show just maybe you should be prepared to see something scary,... or frightening,... and horrifying.
Like,.. some people make Horror movies,... and he makes Horror shows. And if they also make Horror plays,.... like a Broadway horror show or something,... then some of those plays could come across a lot like a Alice Cooper show...
Yeah,.. my Son Of Frankenstein script writings turned into a kids film. I didn't mean for it to,... it just kind of happened with the ideas that I came up with at the time... But I think it's Ok,.. lot's of things can be changed,... like,.. if that puppy part is just to nicey nice,... then that should probably be changed.
And as I was writing it I was thinking how actors can bring a lot to a script. Their personalities that they would bring to the script could make a difference,.. and their ideas too if they had any.
Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house sanding, re-staining and varnishing exterior oak doors.
And then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked myself a Morningstar Hamburger and made it with shredded luttuce, a thick slice of tomato and thousand island dressing,.. and then cooked the cats a nice dinner.
That's going to be about it for my Friday.... I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

I once had a girlfriend,... oh,.. it's been over 20 years since then now...
This girlfriend always acted like she really liked it when we had sex,... but sex went from doing it maybe once a week in the beginning of our relationship to she's only interested in doing it what I thought back then was about once a year... Maybe in reality it was actually 2 times that last year,.. I don't remember.
One day she told me,... "I don't know Rick,.. maybe one day I'll change"...
The last year we were together I went all out that Christmas getting her lots of gifts,.. including one of those cocktail rings with about 20 diamonds on it.
We were staying at her parents house who invited me to stay at their place since I had to move out of a house I was renting.
My girlfriend was against having sex in her parents house and told me so one day.
So anyway,... on this Christmas I decided to rent a Motel to put all her gifts in and surprise her on Christmas evening with them all.
That Christmas night at the Motel she was very surprised and happy with all her gifts and after she got done opening all of them and we came to a pause in our evening as were sitting on the bed she came out with "I think we should go"....
As in,.. pick up her gifts and get out of that room.
I paused for a second then said,... "Ok"... And we picked up her things and went back to her parents house.
The only thing that I was interested in for Christmas that year was some sex with my girlfriend... (We never called it sex though back then,.. it was always,.. "making love" or "make love").
But she showed no interest for it what so ever and sex didn't end up happening for us that Christmas.
We may not of had it on any Christmas,... I don't remember...
But for a guy that liked sex,... she wasn't the right girl to be with.
And I'd say that that is the main thing that drove me away from her. And once we split up I was done with her and had no interest what so ever in getting back together with her.
She was totally un-interested in learning to dance the whole time we were together... After we split up I found her in the Red Onion restaurant one night actually dancing out on the dance floor with someone.
She came up to me and asked me to dance after that dance and I said,.. "no".
Because I didn't want to give her any sign what so ever that we may be able to get back together.
And it wasn't a "mean no",.. actually,.. it was exactly the same kind of "no" that she gave me every time I asked her to dance.
This is the girlfriend that I'm telling a little story about in my Ray Charles Hit The Road Jack video.
She asked me one day if I was Ok with breaking up with her,.. and I was being nice by saying,.. "well,.. I don't want to break up,... but Ok"...
She immediately started crying about how she really really don't want to break up and I calmed her down by saying something like,.. "it's Ok,.. we don't have to break up" along with thinking that I may have a problem breaking up with her...
I didn't know how to go about breaking up with her,.. so I just stayed away a lot.
I found topless bars back then for the first time ever,... so along with being a guy that was thinking about sex a lot back then,.. I really liked the topless bars and was hanging out in one of them a lot then.
Eventually I was coming home to my girlfriends parents house so little that they all decided to throw all my stuff in the driveway for me to see when I came back.
I walked up to my pile of clothes and things as my girlfriend came walking up and facing me and I said,... "I guess I'm moving out".
She said,... "what do you expect us to do"... And I said "Ok",.. and grabbed my stuff and took off and that was the end of our relationship.
And I don't mean to paint a bad picture of this girlfriend at all when I talk about her. Actually,.. we got along well with each other and never fought once.
Which some people could find hard to believe,... but I think it was partly because I let her be her way and never argued with her or fought with her and she did the same for me.... And "wanting for things" was like a wrong for me which made being interested in sex with my girlfriend not something that I can argue about.
I didn't know why "wanting for things" was like a wrong for me back then but it affected me making me feel as if I was doing something wrong when ever I wanted for something.
It was especially noticeable due to sex. But it wasn't the actual sex that was making me feel as if I was doing something wrong,... it was the wanting for it...
I never put it into those words back then though,... (the wanting for it),... I just lived and felt like I was doing something wrong sometimes along with not trying to figure out why.
One day I did decide to think about what my problem is though,.. and now I know all about it. I know why wanting for things was like a wrong for me all my life.
It has to do with "want, jealousy and need",... and God also... And I think I'll end all this that I'm saying now because I just keep thinking of more things to write that have no end to them when I don't mean to be going on and on about anything here.
Today I went out to Corona Del Mar, California and delivered the rest of the patio furniture that I painted to a job and fixed a few things on their house while I was there as well.
Then I came home and did my daily work note's,.. made up an Invoice for a job,.. ran a OneCare tune up on my computer,.. ran back ups of my computer files,.. showered,.. fixed myself a couple little meatless smoked turkey sandwiches and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now it's a little after 7:00pm here and I'm all done for the day... So I'm just about ready for bed,.. and that's it for my Sunday.

I was thinking today as I'm looking at this free Dessert coupon that I have for my restaurant Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana how I'll never use it because I'm always too full to eat Dinner and Dessert...
And how I always like the Dinner so much that I don't really care to save room for Dessert...
But there is one type of Dessert that I'm not too full for...
I don't think I'll spell it out as to what kind of Dessert I'm talking about here,.. but I will say that it's a Dessert that I will never be too full for.
Today I did some grocery shopping,.. I did 2 loads of laundry,.. I mowed the lawn,.. I unloaded my work van and loaded it up with the patio furniture that I painted so that I can deliver it tomorrow,... I went to Lowe's and picked up some materials for a job,...
I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,.. and cooked them a nice dinner... And I made myself a couple little meatless smoked turkey sandwiches.... These sandwiches are really tasting great these days,.. it's like their one of the best tasting sandwiches I've ever made.
They remind me of a BLT,... Bacon, Lettuce and Tomato sandwich.
And that's about it for my Saturday. It's 6:30pm here right now,.. and I'm thinking that I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little while.
By the way,.. if you think you can figure out what kind of Dessert I'm talking about up above,... you can write the word in all lower case letters into My Dirty Dailies password prompt and find a little something that I wrote on that subject...
Hint,... it's a 5 letter word...

Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again where I finish painted the Entry walls and trim.
And then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream, listened to a little bit of that Presidential Debate because I couldn't help but hear it coming from my Uncle's TV, and I don't mean anything bad by that, I just don't watch much TV anymore is all.
Actually,.. it's sounding like an interesting Debate to me. Both candidates sound very educated towards the job that they are running for.
And then I cooked dinner for the cats,.. and now I'm sitting here all done for the day.
I'm just going to go in and go to bed,.. and that will be it for my Friday.

I was thinking a little bit this morning as if there's some girl out there that doesn't like me talking about pussy...
And I thought,... you know how often I get girl friends or just to be with a girl in that kind of way,... "it's like,.. once in a blue Moon"...
While everybody is out there going through girl friend after girl friend, boyfriend after boyfriend, husband after husband, wife after wife, lover after lover,... I'm getting "none".
Some stay with one guy or girl, then some have more than one boyfriend or girlfriend.
Some blow their boyfriend or girlfriend off to be with some other guy or girl.
I've been led to believe that some girl is special to Me,.. and every time I get involved with her she blows Me off for some other guy.
"And I don't really like that".
It's always been Me that is the one walking down that isle in that movie theatre in that Heartbreaker video to find "You" with some other guy.
With a girlfriend like that,.. a guy could easily find himself going against her wishes and choosing to talk about pussy a lot more so.
Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again just working on getting their Entry area painted.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, fixed dinner for the cats and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo, Ravioli di' Zucca, Spinaci, Pane all' Aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce) and a glass of milk.
And now all I've got left to do is take out the trash and my day will be done.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again where I painted baseboards and window sills in the office and stairwell and got started on preparing the entry way walls for painting.
Then I came home and painted a couple more patio chairs for a job, then did my daily work notes, showered, cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here about ready to go in and go to bed.
And that's it for my Wednesday.

Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house again where I scraped, sanded and patched exterior trim then applied the first paint color sample to the exterior trim.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, and cooked dinner for the cats...
And then,.. Scott,.. a friend of mine that use to live here at my house is here and wanted to take me to dinner,... so we went out and tried the new Olive Garden restaurant that we have here in town.
They have good Fettuccine Alfredo there. And a nice looking place too.
And that's about it for my Tuesday.

Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house where I scraped and sanded exterior trim and applied a green paint sample to the Master Bedroom wall for a possible accent wall color.
Then I came home and painted a couple more patio chairs for another job,... did my daily work notes,... showered,... fixed myself a couple more of those meatless Smoked Turkey sandwiches,.. and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here about all done for the day at a little after 7:00pm thinking that I'm just going to go to bed here in a little bit...
And that's it for my Monday.

Today I went out and delivered some of the patio furniture that I've been painting here at my house and also finish painted a couple more patio chairs when I got back home.
And I cooked a big crock pot of food for the cats, ran back ups of my computer files, ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up on my computer and updated my work web site.
And I finished my Son of Frankenstein writings. I haven't proof read the whole thing yet,.. but I've got it pretty much finished,.. from a beginning to an end.....
You can go directly to the Son Of Frankenstein page now by clicking here and it's still possible to go the password prompt way by clicking Dirty Dailies up above then entering the password...
The new writing is all at the end of the page and it's all in a Purple text.
And then I made myself a couple little meatless Smoked Turkey sandwiches which turned out surprisingly good. I fried the slices of meatless Smoked Turkey then put them on Hamburger buns with Miricle Whip on them,.. added Seasoning Pepper, a thick slice of Tomato and shredded lettuce.
They had that "worth making again taste about them"....
And after that I cooked dinner for the cats. And now I'm sitting here at 5:30pm thinking that I've got plenty of time to proof read this Son Of Frankenstein script that I wrote.
And now that I've proof read through the whole story and made a little change to the ending and then proof read the ending parts again,... it's not sounding too bad to me.
Think I'm going to leave it as is for the night.
And that's about it for my Sunday. I'm going to head in and get ready for bed.

I've had thoughts come to mind lately as if I had a girl friend that came across like this,... "I don't really like you talking about pussy".
And I can see how if I had a girl friend,.. she might think that way.
But I don't have a girl friend,... so I think it's Ok,... and I've got some things to add to this that I wrote the other day...
I think I'm a little like the actor Leslie Neilson,... "Hey,... nice beaver".... But of course these days you may not be able to do that movie scene...
Beavers seem hard to come by now days...
I'm reluctant to even call them Pussies anymore....
They look more like vaginas only to me.
Don't get me wrong though,... I might like them all nice and smooth and soft like that...
I'm just going by the looks of them from a front view... To me if a girl is standing there naked to where I can't see no hair or vagina,... it looks like she don't have no pussy anymore...
It's plain looking,.. with nothing there to see anymore...
Then if she opens her legs just enough to show her vagina,... it's like,... "Ok,... I see,... it's just a vagina now"...
Like she's got herself stripped down to vagina only now....
From a bend over rear view they still look like Pussies to me though....
Today I did a couple loads of laundry,.. unloaded my new Van and loaded it up with a bunch of the patio furniture that I've been painting so I can deliver it tomorrow... I went grocery shopping and paid my bills.
And then I showered,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here writing in my Son of Frankenstein writings,... but I'm at a point where I need to do some thinking,... so I'm going to call it a night and give myself some more time to think about it.
I've got a basis for what everybody is going to be doing and an end for the movie. It's coming up with what every body is going to be saying that is troubling me.
And that's it for my Saturday.

Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncles house where I got the walls in the stairway finish painted.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked myself a double cheese burger,... then cooked a nice dinner for the cats...
And then I started to write a little in my Son of Frankenstein writings,... but I'm just not into it tonight.
I'm just going to go to bed early instead...
And that's it for my Friday.

Some of the definitions of the word "Bitch" - A female canine animal, especially a dog,.. a female dog, fox or wolf,.. a lewd woman,.. a malicious or spiteful woman,.. to complain, grumble,.. a man considered to be weak or contemptible...
I've always heard that the main definition of Bitch,.. is a female dog... And the reason that I'm bringing this up is that,.. I don't remember ever seeing any female dogs that came across as if they were a bitch.
I would imagine there may be some out there,.. they all have their different personalities....
But it's the girl cats at my house that I've noticed to come across like bitches. The way the guys hound them sometimes for sexual reasons can make me think they've got a good reason to be a little bitchy at times...
But it's when food time comes that shows how the female cats are like the bosses around here... The grown up female cats will slap everybody away from a plate of food and hog it all to themselves.
They don't care if it's someones kitten,.. or the biggest male cat there is here. 6 cats can be eating on one plate of food,.. and one of the female bitchy like cats will walk up,... and you can just see the look on her face as she's seeing if anybody will make eye contact with her... And if they do she'll slap them... And then she'll slap the rest of them too...
If one of them tries to eat with her,.. she'll slap them away again. I've got a friend cat named Ronny here. He was my buddy when he was a little kitten and still is my friend now that he's a big male cat.
He wasn't able to eat because of the female bitchy like cats.... He'd stand back and wait until there was no food left everyday. So I started giving him a little plate of food to himself now here in my office where none of those food hogging females are.
Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncles house where I prepared some exterior woodwork for some paint sample colors and painted walls in the stairway.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. made up an invoice for a job,... showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a very good dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo, Spinaci, Ravioli Di Zucca, Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce), and a glass of milk.
I haven't had time to write in my Son of Frankenstein writings today. But I do have some more ideas for it,.. so I will be getting around to writing more for sure.
And that's about it for my Thursday.

Today for work I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house where I varnished a door and worked on preparing the stairway for painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,... folded my laundry that's been sitting in the dryer waiting since Sunday,... cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and then cooked myself one of those Red Baron Singles Deep Dish pizzas.
And then I also did a little writing in my Son of Frankenstein writings,... but I'm not going to show anything new tonight. I don't have enough of this new section completed yet.
My mind gave me the impression that someone thinks I'm funny today. So,.. here are the thoughts I had when I was thinking about that subject today.
I read part of an article in a magazine a while back where an actor that does a lot of Comedy movies was saying that he's not really Mister Funny Man though. He said something like,... "If someone was to come up to me and ask me to be funny,.. I couldn't do it"...
I was never Mister Funny Man either. But I do have some funny to me thoughts now and then.
I think I'm a little like the actor Leslie Neilson,... "Hey,... nice beaver".... But of course these days you may not be able to do that movie scene...
Beavers seem hard to come by now days...
I'm reluctant to even call them Pussies anymore....
They look more like vaginas only to me.

Today for work I had to finish painting the redwood decking that I was working on yesterday. Had to move the plants and table and barbecue now that the rest of the paint is dry and paint under them. And then I went over to my Aunt and Uncles house and varnished an oak door, put some paint sample colors on the Master Bedroom walls and got started preparing the stairway for painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked dinner for the cats and then cooked myself a Red Baron Singles Deep Dish pizza.
And I wrote a little more in my Son Of Frankenstein writings. Today's new writing on the Son Of Frankenstein page is colored a Green color.

Today for work I worked on the job where I was replacing Redwood Decking some weeks ago. The owner wanted to paint the deck herself,... but hasn't had the time,... so she called me in to finish paint it.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito without sour cream this time because I ran out of sour cream making yesterday's burrito... And then I cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here after writing a little more to my Son Of Frankenstein writings and it's starting to get late... So I've decided to call it a night on the writing and get ready to go in and go to bed.
Today's new writing on the Son Of Frankenstein page is colored a burgandy like color.

Today I did a couple loads of laundry,... but haven't made the time to fold the last load that is still in the dryer... I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner... I cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream...
I ran back up's of my computer files,... I ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up,... I did some online banking and paid my bills,... and I painted a couple patio chairs.
I also wrote a little bit more in my Son Of Frankenstein writings. All the new text that I added is Blue.

Today I woke up with Son Of Frankenstein on my mind. Some of the stuff that I wrote has had me laughing out loud and thinking that maybe I've got something there.
I also had some more ideas for it and decided to organize it and put it on a page where I can add to it if I like. You can see the page by going up and clicking My Dirty Dailies,... then when the password prompt comes up,... type in SonOfFrankenstein just like it's written there all lumped together and then click Ok or hit enter to see the page.
Or you can just click here and see the page an easier way.
I didn't want to put it in My Thought's For The Day as a new page because I don't know if I'm going to keep having ideas to add to it or not.
Also today I went grocery shopping this morning and painted a couple patio chairs.
Then I cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And now I'm sitting here at my computer thinking about which ways I can make this Son Of Frankenstein story go.
And I suppose that's about it for my Saturday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little while.

Found myself thinking about a new movie with me as the "Son of Frankenstein",.. (that's pronounced Frankenshteen as in the movie Young Frankenstein)...
I never thought about that one before. So I thought,.. Ok,.. maybe it could start out as I'm one of those sons that took after his father,.. like I kind of look like him,.. maybe the same hair-do,.. and I ended up being a teacher too.
So I thought the opening seen could probably start out with me in a class room dealing with telling everyone,.. or someone how to pronounce my name,... "actually,... it's pronounced Frankenshteen"....
Then I thought that maybe I could have a wife and kids and that were getting ready to go on a driving trip to meet the kids Grandfather. It will be the very first time for the wife and kids to meet him.
And that's as far as I got. I was thinking that somewhere in there we could come to find out that my father never did have kids with a woman and that I was actually born from one of his experiments.
Here's a funny to me scene that I just thought of,.. my dad brings me alone down to see some of what he's been working on. And when we get down there he's got a bunch of Frankensteins in cages and were walking up to each cage as my dad has some things to say about each of them.
When were looking at one of them,.. I say,.. He looks hungry,.. then my dad walks over to a table or something and brings a carrot over and tosses it into the cage.
Then after a pause we move on to the next cage and before we get there the carrot hits me in the head. That Frankenstein just threw the carrot out of his cage and hit me with it.
Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house. And today I stripped, sanded and stained an oak door and I painted the trim in the Hallway.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, cooked dinner for the cats and then made myself a Red Baron Singles Deep Dish pizza.
And now I'm putting one of my Journey videos over into YouTube so that some of my friends can see it and I'm sitting here as it's uploading pretty much all done for the day.
And I think that's going to be about it for my Friday. I'll probably just go in and go to bed early tonight.
Here's a few more funny to me thoughts on the movie I'm writing about up above... As me and my father walk up to the first caged Frankenstein,.. I see that there's a sign on the cage in the upper right corner that says Frank Fencing,... (exactly like one of those signs that fence makers put on their fencing). So after my dad finishes what he's saying,.. I say,.. "Hello Frank". And the Frankenstein doesn't say anything. And then we move on to the next caged Frankenstein.
My dad finishes what he's saying and I look up and see another sign on this cage that also says Frank Fencing,.. and it has me a little stumped as we move on to the next caged Frankenstein.
This time when my dad finishes what he's saying and I look up and see another sign that says Frank Fencing,.. I grab the cage and say Arrrrrrrrghhh loudly in the monsters face,.. and my dad and the Frankenstein are still standing there looking exactly the same as before I growled at the Frankenstein.
Then we move on to the next caged Frankenstein and it's Mini Me as a Frankenstein. I immediately say as we get to the cage,... Oh,.. hey,.. cute little guy as I'm bending over and putting my hand over towards the cage... I bend down all the way and get my face up nice and close to the cage,... and then Mini Me Frankenstein quickly grabs the cage and says loudly,.. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh right in my face.
Then I pull away quickly,... and say to my dad "woah",... that's a mean little fella. Then I look back at the little guy and say,... You,... you Frank Fencing you.... And that's as far as I've thought out so far.
We use to have a pet shop close to our house that had zoo animals. Back when I was a kid and we went there with my dad,.. as we walked up to a baboons cage,.. my dad grabbed the cage real fast and said OOOOOOOO loudly in the baboons face.
The baboon immediately grabbed the cage and said OOOOOO loudly right back in my dads face.

Another movie roll I've thought of that I may be able to do is "Son of the Worlds Greatest Lover". And the reason that I think of this one is because I've lived with something like that nervous looking way that Gene Wilder had when he would stick his tongue out.
The last time I went to a topless bar I ended up leaving because my face wasn't feeling right. Like I had hindered feeling facial expressions on my face. And the day before that when I went in there,.. a girl grabbed me by the hands and pulled me over to the dance floor and started giving me a private little dance as soon as I came into the place.
I hadn't even got to take a seat yet. It's like she liked the way I looked the moment she saw me. But I couldn't get into anything she was doing for me there because I was too worried about what my face might do.
If the place there was also a restaurant with food I liked,.. I would of been going there for my Thursday night dinners now days. Going in there for dinner would give me something to do along with watching the girls,.. which is something that sounds comforting to me. Like,.. "I can do that". But going in there for a drink and to watch the girls only is something I just don't think I have the right facial expressions for.
A girl even said to me while I was there last,... "why so serious?"...
I guess I must of looked serious a lot to her,... but when I came out of there that night,.. I thought I was smiling too much,... like I was smiling when I wouldn't normally be smiling like that. And they were hindered feeling smiles too. Kind of like,.. I've got that nervous look that Gene Wilder had in The Worlds Greatest Lover,.. but I'm also smiling with my eyes.
Well,.. I'm gonna go get cleaned up and feed the cats,.. so I can go out to dinner.
Today I worked at my Aunt and Uncle's house painting walls and trim. Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... fixed dinner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettucine Alfredo, Cavolini (brussels sprouts), Spinaci, Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce) and a glass of milk for dinner tonight.
When I got home I decided to try their online survey about my dining experience,.. but couldn't complete it because I got to a question that didn't have an appropriate answer for me to pick... That happens to me almost every time I go to do some online survey. And then I can't complete the survey because it won't let me move on until I give an answer to that question that I can't answer.
Well that's about it for my Thursday. I'm just going to go to bed here in a little bit.

Today I worked over at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house again where I did some patching, texturing and painting in their living room and hallway.
Then I went to the bank and made a deposit. I thought something was wrong with their ATM machines,.. I tried to deposit a check in them yesterday but they wouldn't give me the option to make a deposit. When I tried it again today it did it again and I had to go into the bank to make the deposit.
While I was in there though,.. I noticed that I had my Visa card out while standing there at the counter,... and that I've been using the wrong card to make deposits is what the problem was... Both my ATM card and my Visa look a lot a like,.. so it was an easy mistake to make.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,... attempted to make a lip sink version of the song Maybellene and use the audio from one of the videos that I sang and like,.. but I couldn't get into doing lip sink. Like I need to push the song out of me in order to get into it correctly instead of singing along with myself.
Then I cooked the cats a nice dinner,.. and then fixed myself a Red Baron deep dish singles cheese pizza. And now I'm sitting here all done for the day and about to go in and go to bed.
I was thinking today that I might be the kind of guy that could be "Son Of Fletch". Like a new movie based on the movie Fletch with Chevy Chase.
And that's about it for my Wednesday.

Tuesday, September 9, 2008
Today I worked over at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house where I did some patching, texturing and painting in their living room.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... de-green screened a video,.. then went and had a shower.
I put one new video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page today. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... Chuck Berry's - Maybellene - green screened version 1.
When I made the singing part of that video,.. I was singing that song what seemed like to be extra well throughout the day,.. and then when I came in to put it on video I wasn't singing it as well anymore.
So I'm not that happy with the way I sang Maybellene in this video,... but I'm going to see if I can improve it someday here soon maybe.
And then after all that I cooked myself a Patty Melt,.. and then cooked the cats a nice dinner,.. and now I've got a headache coming on and I'm about ready for bed.
And that's it for my Tuesday.

Today for work I worked on painting patio furniture here at my house. Our street is being paved today,.. so I thought it would be a good day to work at home. I don't think I was going to be able to park my vehicle at my house when I got home if I would of drove out to work today.
Also today I went ahead and made a new video of my singing of Journey's Feeling That Way. And I sang their "Anytime" too while I was at it. I put 2 new videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page dated with today's date,... Journey's - Feeling That Way and Anytime,... and Journey's - Anytime.
I got the woh woh wohs a little better today... I don't have those songs of Journey's on anything other than karaoke. So I have nothing to refer to other than my memory for getting the songs more correct to how they're singing it.
Then later today I made myself a Patty Melt with fried onions this time. It was good... I'll dice the onions next time instead of slicing them though because I couldn't help but pull the onion off the sandwich in whole pieces about every time I bit into one... Kind a like,.. I just pulled all the onion off of the first half of my sandwich with my first bite.
And then I cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And that's about it for my Monday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.

Sunday, September 7, 2008
Let me see here,... .. .. . today I did one load of laundry,.. and I ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up on my desktop computer.
I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner...
I cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and I made one music video this morning. I put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's on top dated with today's date,... Journey's - Feeling That Way - I'm not getting the woh woh wohs right yet.
Haven't made the time to attempt to do the song better yet. I'm liking what was able to do so far though.
On the show American Idol I've heard them say something about singers impersonating other singers once... I never thought of it that way as I was always singing along with other peoples music. As if I'm trying to impersonate someone.
It's more like I was always just trying to sing the song exactly like they do. Not to be impersonating someone,.. but because I dig the song exactly like they do it.
Seems like they would still call that impersonating... But to me,.. it's just the way that I've always been singing.
And that's about it for my Sunday.

Saturday, September 6, 2008
Today it seems like I just sat around all day.
I did go grocery shopping though,.. and I did some online banking and paid my bills,.. and I finished 2 loads of laundry.
I also updated my work web site with a new video page and put that Cleaning a paint brush video that's in my New Wide Screen video player in it. And I made a couple music videos today. I put them in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. Their on top dated with today's date,... Chuck Berry's - Maybellene - deep tone & high tone.
I watched an old video in YouTube of Chuck Berry performing his song called Maybellene earlier today. It seems like he may of been concidered to be one of the best guitar players there was back then.
When I sang his song I've been always singing it in the deep tone that I sang it in one of today's videos. Like it's always seemed like that's around the tone I should be in. But I'm sure liking the high tone that I just tried out for the first time today. Think I might like it better than my deeper version.
Also today,.. I cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito,.. and cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And that's about it for my Saturday.... I'm just going to go to bed early tonight.

Today I worked at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house again. And today I made up some color samples of a Bellagio Faux finish that's possibly going to be going in the Master Bedroom,.. and I patched, textured and painted in the living room.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here with a bit of a negative attitude about ready to go in and go to bed.
And that's it for my Friday.

Thursday, September 4, 2008
Today I worked at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house where I painted baseboards and touched up trim,.. and got started preparing the living room for painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. made up an invoice for a job,... made out a check for my quarterly State income taxes,.. and made a call about my voice mail not working in my new cell phone.
Then I showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
There's a waitress over there that is like my Helen Hunt from the movie As Good As It Gets. And I'm a little bit like Jack Nicholson.... I don't bring my own silver wear,... what I bring is,... my own Parmesan cheese.
Because when they don't put any Parmesan cheese on my table,... nothing needs to be said,... and I don't have to get up and go find some on my own,... and I won't ask anything,... so,.. I'll just use my own.
I've thought about bringing my own sauce too... Because sometimes when I say a double order of arribbiata sauce,... they bring me a single order. Or,.. a bowl that looks like a double order size,.. but the amount of sauce they put in it looks and acts more like a single order of sauce. But they've got better at that,.. I got a big bowl of arribbiata sauce tonight.
Tonight for dinner I had,.. Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Ravioli Di Zucca,.. Spinaci,.. an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
And that's about it for my Thursday. I've got a headache tonight,.. so I don't plan on doing much else other than going to bed.

Wednesday, September 3, 2008
Today I worked at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house and I got the kitchen all painted today.
Then I came home and did my daily work note's,.. spray painted a patio chair,.. showered,.. cooked myself a couple Sloppy Joe's,.. but only ate one and mixed the other one in with the cats dinner... I didn't put enough tomato paste and flavoring in the mix and they tasted bland to me. Just wasn't a very tasty sloppy joe like they can be.
I should taste the mix before I make the sandwiches next time. That way I could adjust it to my taste.
Then I cooked dinner for the cats,.. and now I'm about done for the day... I did make a new video today and put it in my Wide Screen video player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Cleaning A Paint Brush take 2 - I forgot to show the brush comb too.
It can be important to comb out the brush when cleaning it with a hose or faucet because if it crunches the bristles down into the brush and you leave it and let it dry like that,.. it will possibly ruin the brush.
That's it for my Wednesday. It's a little after 7:00pm here now,.. and I'm just gonna go in and go to bed here in a little bit.

Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Today I worked at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house again where I got started on getting the kitchen painted.
Then I came home and did my daily work note's,.. spray painted a patio chair,.. showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and worked on setting up a new video player that I'm trying out in my web site here... I've got it up and working now,... it's a wide screen video player and I put it on my Video Archives page right under the All Video Player.
It's got 2 new work videos that I made specifically to try out in this video player.
Once I got the video player working correctly,.. then I went in and cooked dinner for the cats.
And now it's after 8:00pm here and I think my day is about done. That's about it for my Tuesday... I'm just gonna go in and go to bed here in a little bit.
The new video player that I put on my Video Archives page is working on my computer here,.. but so anybody that goe's there to check it out knows,.. the page and the videos seem to load slower than my All Video Player. I might see if I can adjust the coding tomorrow and see if I can make it better.

Monday, September 1, 2008
Today I went to work over at my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house where I painted the dining room walls.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... painted a patio chair,... showered,.. made a video of me cooking my bean and cheese burrito for dinner to night,.. and ate my bean and cheese burrito.
Then I converted the video for the web and got it started uploading to my web server and then went in and cooked dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here with a headache,.. but all done for the day and thinking how it don't sound good that I've just gotta get right back up and do it all over again tomorrow.
I mean,.. it's like I've been busy busy ever since I've got home and I've just gotta get up soon and get busy all over again... The thought of it don't go well with this headache...
There's a new video in my All Video Player for today dated with today's date,... Me cooking a Bean And Cheese Burrito... I've watched it. It don't seem like a bad video,.. and I was able to be a little more talkative today while making it.
And I suppose that that's about it for my Monday. I'm just going to go to bed here in a little bit.
That was actually a very tasty burrito that I made today. And it didn't even split open on me either.

Sunday, August 31, 2008
I noticed over in AOL today they were showing some tips on making a good burger. And how they also said that it can make a better burger to use hamburger that is of the more fatty variety. 70 percent lean meat to 30 percent fat.
I noticed in my Hamburger making video I talked about that along with making my veggie patties more greasy like a real hamburger,.. but I never did mention why I liked that.
I liked the more greasy variety of real hamburger because it made a juicy like hamburger as opposed to a dried out like patty. And some of these veggie patties can be a little dry too.
All the veggie hot dogs I've tried,.. it's like their getting real close to a real hot dog in texture and flavor,... but it's like they should add some lard to the mix so they can be more like real hot dogs. Pocking them and marinating or frying them in oil don't seem to help them,.. because they don't suck any of it up into them at all.
Also I think I'll mention here because it sounds like I could be downing them in my Burger making video,.. when I said I over cooked my veggie patty's one day and they reminded me of a Carl's Jr. burger,.. it's because over cooking them gave them a char broiled like thing about them.
I always liked Carl's Jr. burgers,.. they are one of my favorites.
I like my burgers with lettuce and tomato sometimes. One of the best I remember having was from a fast food place that isn't a chain of fast food places. They made theirs with shredded lettuce and a slice of tomato along with a Thousand Island dressing and a char broiled like burger.
And they may of put onion on them too,.. but I always pulled or scraped the onions off of my burgers back then.
Most the time though,.. my favorite burgers were always the ones made with no vegetables other than pickles. And if I remember right,.. back when I use to barbecue burgers on camping trips,... I wouldn't even use any Ketchup or Mustard on my burgers. Just ate them as burger and bread alone.
Getting frisky with my girl friend out on all those camping trips that we went on was something that I was very interested in back then. But something that I might as well forget about because she was set against it.
I remember liking my barbecue hamburgers though.
Some say that "opposites attract". But I don't believe that a couple should be opposites when it comes to Love and Sex. Ideally for me,.. I think that it would be best if me and a girl had "The Same" likes in those ways.
I've had the thought that an ideal girl for me would be just like me when it comes to loving, touching and sex.
Today I started out my day with cooking a big crock pot of food for the cats. And I ran back ups of my computer files,.. and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up on my desk top computer.
I updated my work web site,.. which a lot of the time is just a quick update to my Job Notes page telling what I'm going to be doing for the upcoming week.
I also painted a patio chair,.. then showered,... and then made that Patty Melt cooking video that I was attempting to make yesterday... This time I was able to stumble through it and finish it. So I've got a new video in My All Video Player for today... It's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking a Patty Melt.
These burger cooking videos that I've made,.. they aren't really recipes and videos that I thought were something worth showing,... they're more just videos that I've made for something to do.
Seeing myself in videos and even pictures that I take now days hasn't been a bad thing for me. More like I'm learning things about myself as I see myself in ways that I've never seen myself before.
Things like,.. it would look better if I didn't stick my tongue out so much. Even better would be don't stick it out at all... I think I'm just wetting my dry lips is all.
Anyway,.. and then I ate my Patty Melt,.. and cooked dinner for the cats,... and now I'm sitting here at a little after 4:00pm thinking that my day is done now,.. and that I may just go in and go to bed here pretty soon.
And I suppose that's it for my Sunday.

Saturday, August 30, 2008
Today I started out my day by going grocery shopping this morning.
Then I did some online banking and paid my bills. I did 2 loads of laundry,.. and I worked on painting some patio furniture for a job that I'm working on.
I also made half of a cooking video,... more just for something to do,.. but my brain kept having a hard time giving me the words that I was attempting to say,... so after about the 3rd loss of words I had,... I decided "forget it" for videos today.
Then I made myself a Patty Melt and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And now I'm thinking that I've had about enough of this day and that I'm going to go in and go to bed here at close to 5:00pm.
And that's about it for my Saturday.

Friday, August 29, 2008
Today I worked at home again sanding and painting patio furniture.
I found myself on one of those match up,.. dating type web sites today. And it was one where I could see what the girls height was. And almost every one of them was too tall for me.
It was kind of surprising and has me thinking,.. maybe it really is true that most all girls are too tall for me. I may of counted 3 girls out of 100 in there that were my height.
I learned to become Ok with my height as I got older. But it's always been girls that is the reason that my height isn't so cool.
Also today I went over to the store called Michaels and got me some yarn. And I showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
The more I think of girls and my life the more negative I get about everything. So I've gotta change the subject in my mind so things can be more,... well,... better anyway...
And that's about it for my Friday. Think I'm just going to go to bed early tonight.

Thursday, August 28, 2008
Today I got to work at home. I've got a bunch of patio furniture here that I've got to paint for a job I'm doing.
And then I did my daily work notes,.. showered,... and fixed dinner for the cats.
Then I went over to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner again. For tonight's dinner I had Fettuccine Alfredo, Ravioli Di Zucca, Spinaci, an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of Arribbiata sauce),.. and a glass of milk.
I'm kind of burned out like now here at about 6:00pm. And I think I'm just gonna go in and go to bed here in a little bit.
I found out yesterday that my Aunt Aldy knits. She had a couple baby booties that she was in the process of knitting sitting in the living room. So me and her kind of have something in common and it gave us something to talk about yesterday. She say's that she thinks crocheting is harder than knitting. And I've been thinking that knitting may be harder than crocheting. But I've never tried knitting yet,.. so I don't know.
And that's about it for my Thursday...

Wednesday, August 27, 2008
Today I worked on my Uncle Tom and my Aunt Aldy's house again just painting walls and trim. Aldy recently became what I consider to be my Aunt now because I talked to her about it,.. and because my Uncle Tom who is my Mom's brother,... his first wife was considered to be my Aunt,.. therefore,.. his second wife ought to be able to be my Aunt too.
I'm not so happy with my work videos that I put in my web site here yesterday... I'm going to see if I can improve the work videos possibly next week.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. made a call to transfer my old cell phone number and it's minutes to my new cell phone which just came in the mail today...
Then I showered,.. cooked myself a Patty Melt because I'm out of Hamburger buns,... and it was really good too,... worth making again. The soft bread I used got a little soggy like though,... so I'll probably get some rye bread if I'm going to plan to make some Patty Melts again.
And then I cooked dinner for the cats. And since then I've been sitting here learning how to use this new cell phone. It came with a couple thick little books to read through. These things can seem like they have so very much in them these days,.. and I usually only use a few of their features,.. so when I go to use something I don't use very often,.. I've usually forgotten how to go about doing it,.. and have to re-learn and re-familiarize myself with what ever new it is that I'm attempting to do.
One thing this phone has is a camera. It's my first phone with a camera. I didn't buy it due to that,.. it just happened to have one is all... And from what I'm seeing about this camera,.. it looks like it's almost useless to me... Because there appears to be no way to put the pictures I take on it onto my computer,... and no way to print them either.
It looks like the pictures this phone takes are for phone use only. Like their for viewing in my phone or sending to other phones only...
Hmmm.... I don't know if I'll ever use it if that's all it does.
Well,.. that's about it for my day today.

Tuesday, August 26, 2008
After reviewing my video from yesterday,.. I thought I'd start out here today by saying something that I didn't say in my video.
The reason I liked Hamburgers that were the more fatty variety as opposed to the lean type,.. was that the lean type would turn out very dry,... especially when barbecuing them.
And that is also partly why I attempt to make my Morningstar Grillers Prime more like a real hamburger,... because their patties can seem dry too. The other reason is that I like to make them as much like a real hamburger as I can.
Today I worked on my Uncle Tom and Aunt Aldy's house again. And today I decided to make a few videos while I was at work... I was thinking of making them for my work web site,.. but after seeing them,.. I'm not sure I like them for there. Not all of them anyway...
I'm going to put them in my Video Archives All Video Player for a while. They'll all be on top dated with today's date,.. Me at work today 1 - 6...
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. returned an email to my first best friend Tom Martin,.. cooked myself a couple little burgers in McDonalds Quarter Pounder style,... and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here converting all these work videos I made today and uploading them to my web server. In the first video I'm just showing what a drive it is to get to my Uncle's house. It doesn't look like a video worth watching twice to me. Right at the end of that video my Uncle came driving up. I didn't expect him to be home from River Rafting in Wyoming so soon. So I ended up stopping that video early to talk to him without putting him on film.
And I suppose that's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go to bed here as soon as I get all these videos uploaded and working in my web site.

Monday, August 25, 2008
Today I worked on my Uncle Tom and his wife Aldy's house where I painted a room and the trim.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked myself a couple little burgers,.. then cooked dinner for the cats.
Also today I decided to make a video of me cooking my dinner for tonight. I thought about doing it yesterday too,.. but thought that just cooking burgers doesn't seem like a good cooking video...
Today I decided that maybe it won't be that bad and went ahead and made one. I put the video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking my burgers for dinner tonight.
And now I've got a headache,.. so I'm thinking that I'm going to go in and go to bed soon.
And that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, August 24, 2008
Today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them dinner. I mowed the lawn,... ran back ups of my computer files and ran a Microsoft OneCare tune up on my computer.
I lost my keys to my new Chevy Van,... then after about an hour of searching all the different places I walked yesterday,.. and cutting the lock off of the back doors of my Van,... I found them in my Bath Robe pocket. Just didn't think to look there until I was starring right at it.
Then I made myself a cool poster with my Xara software and printed it out in 15 pages, then taped them all together onto a piece of cardboard.
And then I showered and cooked myself a couple little burgers in McDonalds Quarter pounder style.
And that's it for my Sunday. I'm going to go to bed early tonight...

Saturday, August 23, 2008
For today I started out my day by going grocery shopping this morning. Then I came home and put away groceries. Did some online banking and paid my bills,.. and finished 2 loads of laundry.
And I worked on a rough estimate for some patio furniture that I have at my house to paint. I showered, then cooked myself a couple little burgers in McDonalds quarter pounder style.
I never ate one of their Quarter Pounders with their onions on them. I always scraped them off. But it's like the flavor of their onions was always still in there,.. because when I make these burgers at home,.. they taste a lot like theirs,... and it seems to me that it's mostly because of the onions.
Also today I did a little sand blasting on some steel patio furniture. And I cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And that's about it for my Saturday. I don't plan on doing anything tonight other than going to bed.

Thursday, August 21, 2008
Today I worked on my Uncle Tom and his wife Aldy's house. I had a short day today partly because she needs to decide on a color.
Then I came home and visited with my cousin Chris and his son that is down from Las Vegas... Did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I had Fettuccine Alfredo, Ravioli Di Zucca, Spinaci, an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce),.. I like to dip parts of my whole meal in arribbiata sauce,.. and I had a glass of milk.
Then I did a little singing of some Frank Sinatra songs when I got home,.. and that's about it for my Thursday.

Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Today I worked on my Uncle Tom and his wife Aldy's house again. I sampled some more colors on the walls,.. I patched and re-textured walls and ceilings and I got started painting a bedroom.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. bought a new cell phone online because my cell phone's battery is not holding a charge anymore and it appears that I can't get batteries for this phone anymore.
Then I showered,.. cooked myself a couple burgers in McDonalds quarter pounder style,.. except for I'm using red onion in mine. I think they use a white onion in theirs if their still making the same way that they use to. And then I cooked dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my Wednesday.

Tuesday, August 19, 2008
Today for work I worked on my Uncle Tom and his wife Aldy's house again,.. sampling colors on the walls,.. patching walls and ceilings and preparing a spare bedroom for painting.
Then I came home and made up some more computer color samples for their walls in one of their offices.
And then I showered,.. cooked myself a hamburger (McDonalds quarter pounder style),.. and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And it's like I've been busy all day today. Especially since I got home. It's actually getting dark out tonight while I'm sitting here in my office. I mean,.. lately,.. I've been going in and going to bed before it even gets dark. But the time really seemed to fly by today for what ever reason.
And that's it for my Tuesday...

Monday, August 18, 2008
Today I went to work at my Uncle Tom and his wife Aldy's house where I ended up painting pictures of their house in my computer until my laptop's battery's went dead. Then I came home and finished what I was doing on my desk top computer. They'd like an idea of what some colors are going to look like before we buy any paint.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,... cooked dinner for the cats,.. and then fixed myself my last slice of my home made Lasagna.
And now I'm sitting here with all my chores done for the day thinking I'm probably just going to go to bed here in a bit.
And that's it for my Monday...

Sunday, August 17, 2008
Today I kind of had a leisurely day. I ran back ups of all my computer files,.. I ran my Microsoft OneCare Tune up,.. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner.
I made myself a plate of my left over home made Lasagna. Out of all the days I've been eating this Lasagna,.. today's tasted best,.. and I think it's because I heated up real well today. All the other days I've been just making sure it's warm. I don't really like making my foods blistering hot with the microwave.
And I vacuumed my bedroom and office,.. and found out the belt on my vacuum cleaner is broke,.. so went online and found and purchased some new ones.
And now I'm sitting here updating my web site here,... and I've also gotta update my work web site,.. and then my day will be done here at about 5:00pm.
And that's about it for my Sunday.

Saturday, August 16, 2008
Today I had to go out to a job in Corona Del Mar, California and pick up a bunch of patio furniture that I'm going to be re-painting.
Then I came home and did some online banking and payed all my bills. And then I went out and did some grocery shopping.
And now I've just finished cooking the cats dinner and making myself a slice of my home made Lasagna.
I made one music video today. I put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,.. Frank Sinatra's - Tender Trap - take 3.
I was just singing the song, then thought maybe I should record it and see how things are looking and sounding. If I concentrate more on just singing the song instead of attempting to act it out, I think I can sing it better than it sounds in today's video. But I'm liking some of the acting too.
And that's about it for my Saturday. Think I'll probably just go in and go to bed early tonight.

Friday, August 15, 2008
Today I went to the hardware store and got a new clear plastic light cover for my kitchen light because the old one fell down and broke. And I picked up some ratchet type tie downs, and set my new van up with a temporary way to tie ladders to the top of it.
I'll probably build a steel rack for it one day for carrying ladders,.. but right now I'm saving money for my fast...
Well,.. it's not like I'm saving a lot,.. but I'm not spending a lot like I use to either.
And I've done one load of laundry today,.. and did a little shopping over at Rite-Aid.
And I've showered, then cooked dinner for the cats, and then fixed myself a plate of my home made left over Lasagna.
The taste of the basil pesto isn't standing out at all in my Lasagna this time. So I was thinking that maybe I'll add more pesto to it next time,.. or just cook the spinach all the same,.. but add a layer of the basil pesto over top of one of the layers of spinach... I don't know. It still taste good,.. I just don't notice any difference in the taste of the two spinach layers is all.
And that's about it for my Friday. I've got a few calls I can make about work,.. and then I'll be done for the day.
I heard Frank Sinatra sing the song Summerwind over in YouTube today. I think that's the first time I ever heard anybody else sing that song. I like his version,... and after hearing his,.. I like mine too. I mean,.. I could easily think that I like the way he's singing it better, then choose to sing it more like he does. But this time,.. I like my version too.

Thursday, August 14, 2008
Today I went around town and took a bunch of pictures of the town I'm living in for my first best friend Tom Martin, who hasn't been here in lots of years. And I re-sized them and sent them all to him in some emails.
And I finished a painting estimate for a bunch of old style exterior wood windows. And got a call about some more work from a customer that I've worked for over the past 6 years or so.
And I installed Service Pack 3 on my Windows XP computer which caused it to not be able to log into Windows unless I was in Safe Mode,.. and then I restored my XP computer back to when it was in Service Pack 2,.. and now it looks like it's running correctly again. I heard that some people had problems with Service Pack 3 and thought maybe Microsoft may of fixed it's problems by now,.. but it doesn't look like they have.
I've saved an email from PCWorld.com with things to do when installing Windows XP SP3. But I was thinking that in time Microsoft may fix those problems and I wouldn't have to do a bunch of research to install some update.
I heard Glen Campbell on the Mark and Brian KLOS radio show today. Man,.. he sounded great playing his music live. It sounded like he sounds as good live as he doe's on his records and CD's.
Then later today I cooked the cats dinner and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a very filling dinner. I ordered a little different tonight than I usually do. I went with a Heirloom Tomato salad, and an order of their Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a triple order of arribbiata sauce), an order of their Vegetarian Lasagna, an order of Fettuccine Alfredo and a glass of milk.
Their Vegetarian Lasagna is kind of special. Unlike any Lasagna I've ever had. And it's due to it's savory like sauce. It's not like a spaghetti sauce at all,... it's more like a slightly thickened vegetable beef broth or something.
I'm not sure how to come home and re-create that sauce. Not sure what I could use to make that flavor in a vegetarian only form.
Well,.. that's pretty much it for my day. I've got all my chores done for the day and it's not even 6:00pm yet. And I'm thinking,... there's nothing else I really care to be doing and that I'll probably just go in and go to bed here in a little while.

Wednesday, August 13, 2008
Today I had to go out to one job and turn in an invoice and get paid, and then I went over to another job that I need to make an estimate out for.
And then I went to the bank and deposited a check, then came home and did my daily work notes. And I went over to Staples and got me some office supplies.
And I took a shower, cooked a nice dinner for the cats, then fixed myself a plate of my home made Lasagna that I made yesterday... For me Lasagna can be like Chili sometimes,.. like it's even better tasting the next day.
I've been thinking today about my Italiani Spinaci recipe,.. how maybe I ought to change the butter in the recipe to olive oil. Not because of taste,.. but because the basil pesto is made with olive oil,.. so I'm actually using butter and olive oil in that recipe,.. and that just seems odd.
I originally made that recipe with margarine or butter because I thought Pomodoro Restaurant was using butter for theirs... I found out later that their using olive oil in their Spinaci, and it's their Brussels Sprouts that their making with butter.
That's how they say it on their menu anyway.
And that's it for my Wednesday.

Tuesday, August 12, 2008
Today I took the day off from work. I'm in-between jobs right now.
So one of the things I decided to do today was to cook my Spinach Lasagna and put it on video. I put the videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. There's 4 of them all on top dated with today's date,.. Me cooking my Fresh Spinach Lasagna 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Took me a little while to make these videos with people coming in and interrupting along with just the amount of time it takes to prepare this Lasagna. But I finally got them done. That little bread pan that I'm using to cook my lasagna in my videos is what I think of as a small pan to use for a Lasagna,.. because I've always used like a 11 inch by 14 inch rectangular pan when I've made more of a traditional style Lasagna,.. but from the slice I cut up and ate today along with what's left,.. it looks like I could have enough Lasagna there for me alone to be eating for this week and next week too.
Also today I did one load of laundry,... I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and I talked on the phone with my very first best friend Tom Martin for a few hours.
And that's about it for my day today.

Monday, August 11, 2008
Today I worked on my job in Riverside where I installed Thresholds and finish painted the trim in the kitchen and laundry room,.. and finished the job.
Then I came home and cleaned my tools, did my daily work notes, made up an invoice for a job, cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats, showered, cooked dinner for the cats and made myself a plate of fried brussels sprouts - Pomodoro style.
And this time I took pictures of it. Because I like to have a picture to go along with all my recipes that I come up with and write down.
Got an email from my very first best friend Tom Martin who is pictured when he was a young teenager on my front page of this web site. He says we have 30 years of catching up to do.... We haven't seen or talked to each other for a long time.
He found me in Classmates.com. Which seems like a cool place to go to for anybody that is looking for old friends.
And that's about it for my Monday.

Sunday, August 10, 2008
Today I went to my Riverside job to go to work and the owner of the house was back from her vacation. And I didn't want to bother her by waking her up,.. so I decided to come home for the day.
Then I went to the grocery store and did my grocery shopping and picked up some negative thoughts on the way out of there and it ruined the rest of my day. I've been cussing and negative all day.
But I did manage to prepare 7 bushels of spinach for my Lasagna videos that I'm going to make this coming week some time. And I cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my Sunday. I'm going to go in and black out.

Saturday, August 9, 2008
Today I decided to go and work on my job in Riverside again where I stained and lacquered some oak thresholds, fixed some wiring that wasn't wired correctly and installed a combination outlet and switch. And I painted the kitchen ceiling and got started painting all the trim.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my Saturday. It's starting to get late,.. so I'm about ready to go in and go to bed.

Today for work I worked on a job in Riverside again finishing the kitchen baseboards and getting them prepped for painting, making custom thresholds and installing cabinet pulls on the cabinet doors.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream, then cooked the cats a nice dinner.
I'm really liking that Summerwind song. That's one of my favorite new videos of mine. Sounds like the line where I'm singing about a Blue Umbrella could use some cleaning up, but other than that,.. I like the way I sang that song.
My latest Nazareth's Love Hurts sounds very good to me too. It's one of my favorite videos of mine too. I was finally able to get my scratchy voice to sing that song well all the way through... The only part I don't like is the last few notes that I added after the song ended.
With my latest Elton John's Bennie and the Jets,... I like the video Ok,.. but it sounds to me like I had the instruments up a little too loud. I like the higher pitched notes that I put in this one,... but it sounds to me like I've gotta work on my deeper voice now in that song. Change it's pitch or tone a little maybe and maybe just sing slightly different. I don't know. I'm not as happy with the way that one sounds though.
Oh,.. I'm also doing a load of laundry today too. And that's it for my Friday. Think I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.
This morning I was thinking that I bet there were no dentists back in the days when Jesus Christ was alive on Earth,.. and that most everybody back then probably had teeth that were falling out and or being eaten by cavities. Like,.. the older people got,.. the less teeth they may of had back then.

Today for work I worked on a job in Riverside again installing baseboards and quarter round mostly.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered, fixed dinner for the cats and then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I went with Fettuccine Alfredo, Ravioli Di Zucca, Cavolini (Brussels Sprouts), an order of Pane Al'aglio with a triple order of Arrabbiata sauce (garlic bread with sauce), and a glass of Milk.
Today I thought,.. I think for my next cooking videos I'll make a Lasagna.
And that's about it for my Thursday. Think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.

Wednesday, August 6, 2008
Today for work I went over to a job here in Riverside and got started on some house jobs. Installing crown moulding and base boards in the kitchen, fixing all the quarter round on the living room base boards, installing a cabinet in the laudry room, installing door knobs on the kitchen cabinets and painting the kitchen ceiling and trim.
Lots of little jobs,.. I'm working on a punch list that a friend of mine doesn't have time to get back to.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered and then prepared and cooked myself a plate of fresh spinach. I made videos of it for today and put them in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. They're the videos on top dated with today's date,.. Me Cooking Fresh Spinach 1, 2 and 3.
And then after I got these videos all converted and uploaded to my web server I went in and cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And now I'm sitting here after watching my Fresh Spinach cooking videos for the first time with all my chores done for the day.
I'm seeming kind of Martha Stewart like is one of the things I'm seeing when I've watched my latest cooking videos.
And that's about it for my Wednesday. I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little bit.

Tuesday, August 5, 2008
Today for work I just stayed home and unloaded my van and cleaned tools. I'm in-between jobs,.. so I got to stay home and have a leisurely day today.
Also today I updated my Page 41, My Favorite Songs page that's in My Thoughts For The Day. Added a few more of my favorite songs.
And I made 3 new singing videos. I put them in My All Video player that's on My Video Archives page. They're the ones on top dated with today's date,.. Nazareth's - Love Hurts and Elton John's - Bennie And The Jets and A song called SUMMERWIND.
The other day I heard Bennie And The Jets on the radio and noticed that I didn't sing it quite the same way that Elton does,.. so today I attempted to sing it more like he did.
Then also today I showered,... then prepared and cooked myself a plate of fresh spinach and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here all done for the day as I'm checking out these new videos that I just put in here for today. I'm pretty happy with my singing today. I'm going to convert these last videos to audio only files and put them on my ipod and see how they sound in audio only.
Well,.. I guess that's about it for my day today. I thought about making another cooking video today,.. but I ended up doing singing videos instead... I may do a cooking one tomorrow if I'm up for it.

Today for work I worked on my job where I'm replacing and repairing rotten and damaged redwood decking.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... made up an invoice for a job,... showered,.. and then cooked dinner for the cats and made myself some Mini Bistro Pizzas.
They're from Vons,.. Safeway Select brand,.. Mini Bistro Pizzas, Mediterranean, 6 appetizers. And their really good. I'm thinking that I'm going to learn to make these myself too... Oh,.. and their from the frozen foods section in Vons.
They're made with basil pesto over little round pizza crusts, topped with mozzarella and feta cheese, with chopped tomatos and chopped red onion.
Mark & Brian of KLOS radio had a cool show today. Especially seemed cool for a Monday. They had the band Foreigner playing live today. Rockin' out on a Monday morning. Their new singer sounds very good. Better than I'm sounding with the Foreigner songs that I've sang. I think I can get better at them though.
One of my favorite songs of theirs is "Love Has Taken It's Toll". I'd sing it,.. but I don't have it on karaoke.
I kind of like my new cooking videos. It's like it's nice to see myself talking about something instead of singing for a change.
And that's it for my Monday.

Sunday, August 3, 2008
Today I got the idea to make a cooking video. But before I decided to make one I went to view my old cooking videos that are in My All Video player here and found out that they weren't working.
So now I've got all those bottom videos working again,.. from Caveman idea 1 to Me getting dressed up like a girl and I also went ahead and made some new cooking videos.
I put them in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page on top. 3 of them dated with today's date,... Me cooking Brussels Sprouts 1,2 and 3.
I haven't even viewed them yet as if I think I caught myself looking OK or something. But actually I don't know. As I was converting the videos it looked like I may of showed my teeth too much a few times,... and in the 3rd video it looked like my hair-do might of got messed up,... and the very first thing I noticed was,.. I think I may of looked better if I would of went without the apron.
I made that apron. I bought a pattern and actually made it myself... I got the idea to have and wear an apron from a couple that I work for. They cook together and they wear these matching aprons when they do. And I think it's cute and cool how they do that.
My Brussels Sprouts tasted like I finally got the recipe right this time. And even that Arrabbiata sauce reminded me a lot of the one I get at Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana,.. especially when I put enough cayenne pepper in it.
Today,.. besides all that,.. I did one load of laundry,.. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner. I ran back ups of my computer files on this computer,.. and ran a OneCare tune up.
And I got started on cleaning up my garage,... and updated my work web site. Oh,.. and I did some online banking and paid all my bills too.
And now I'm sitting here at a quarter after 5:00pm in my office. It's hot in here all of a sudden. The reason I've been going shirtless a lot in my videos lately is because it's been summertime hot and I've just been going shirtless a lot lately is all. I mean,.. when I'm not doing videos too...
I would of been shirtless in my cooking videos today too,... but I thought it seemed more appropriate for a cooking video to have a shirt on...
The tan that I've gotten doesn't really seem to show in the videos that I've recently made. It doe's get rid of that farmers tan look though...
Well,.. I guess that's about it for my Sunday. I've got my dishes from my Brussels Sprouts to go in and clean up and then all my chores will be done for today.

Today I decided to go grocery shopping first thing this morning. And I also did a load of laundry. And I got started organizing and cleaning my storage shed.
I also made a couple videos. I put them in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page. They're both dated with today's date,.. Patty Smyth and Scandal's - Goodbye To You and The Warrior.
And I also showered then cooked myself a couple little burgers. I made them McDonalds Quarter Pounder style,.. but because the patties turned out char broiled like,... they reminded me more of Carl's Junior burgers.
Then I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and now I'm sitting here with my chores all done for the day.
There's plenty more I could do,... but I'm thinking that I might call it a day and go in and go to bed here in a little bit.
And that's it for my Saturday...

Today for work I worked on my job where I'm replacing damaged and rotten redwood decking again.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. Showered,... fixed dinner for the cats then went out to Pomodoro Cuccina Italiana and had a great dinner.
I thought about getting something different tonight but after looking over the menu decided to just get what I've been getting lately. So I had the Fettuccine Alfredo again along with an order of Spinaci, Cavolini and and an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a double order of arribbiata sauce).
And now it's 7:00pm here at my house and I think I'm just going to go in and go to bed here in a little bit.
Mark & Brian of KLOS radio had a pretty good show this morning. They had Patty Smyth and The Scandal in there playing live. Thought it was cool listening to them and getting to know them a little bit.
I attempted to sing the song "Goodbye To You" not long ago,... but I wasn't liking the way my voice was sounding with that song.

Today for work I worked on my job where I'm replacing damaged and rotten redwood decking again.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. Showered,... prepared and cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight. I'm feeling all run down and wore out this evening. I think working in the direct heat all day lately is taking a little more out of me.
I'm probably the most tan I've been in a lot of years though. Especially my back.

It was good to hear Kevin Costner on KLOS radio this morning talking about his new movie. I don't recall much of what he said about the movie,.. but I don't think I've ever seen a bad movie that he's been involved with,.. so maybe this new one will be a good one too.

Man,.. these new potato chips I've been buying lately,... the first 5 or 6 bags of them were great,... they had a good amount of flavor on them. But the last 3 bags of them were like eating plain potato chips with a hint of flavor on them. I'm just throwing away bags of potato chips now.
I was thinking today how I've had that experience with all flavored potato chips. If I was a potato chip maker I would probably be making sure all the bags of chips were getting the right amount of flavor.
Even with Cheetos which are pretty flavorful whether their light on flavor or not,.. when I buy a bag every morning,.. I'll notice sometimes that this bag of Cheetos didn't get as much flavor on them as the bag I bought yesterday.
Today for work I worked on my job where I'm replacing rotten and damaged redwood decking. And then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and then cooked the cats dinner.
And now I'm sitting here all done for the day. Think I'm just going to continue making this list of karaoke songs for a while and then go in and go to bed. I've actually got 3 lists that I'm making,.. one by Artist,... one by Song Name,.. and one by Disc or CD.
And that's it for my day today.

Today I finished updating my work web site,.. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner.
I did some online banking and paid my bills. I ran back ups of my computer files and a OneCare tune up on my computer. And I worked on making my list of karaoke songs by Artist.
Oh,.. and I also showered and prepared and cooked myself a plate of fresh spinach.
And that's about it for my Sunday. Think I'll just finish my day with some more of this list of karaoke songs and then go in and go to bed.

Today I went to the grocery store first thing this morning and did my grocery shopping. Seems like a nice time to go early in the morning because they're not very busy at that time.
And I finished 4 loads of laundry and vacuumed my bedroom and office.
I worked some more on making my list of karaoke songs and I also got started on drawing up some plans for some bed room night stands that I'm supposed to build and started making a materials list.
And I made up an Invoice for a job and also updated my work web site. I put some pictures of the fireplace mantel that I just built in my work web site if anybody reading this is interested in seeing it. My work web site is at Rixco.com and the pictures of the fireplace mantel is on my Jobs Finished page which is in a folder at the bottom of my Work Page. And the job name is P&S Davis (new fireplace mantel and stonework 2008).
Here,.. I can just make it easy and put a link to it right here,... Click here to go to my fireplace mantel pictures now.
And now it's close to 7:30pm here and I think my day is about done. Think I might go over to Baskin Robbins 31 flavors and get an ice cream and get out of the office for a little while.
Oh,.. I also cooked dinner for the cats and cooked myself a plate of Brussels Sprouts (Pomodoro Cucina Italiana style). They tasted pretty good,.. but I boiled the Brussels Sprouts too long for my liking before I fried them. They were cooked so well that they were mushy.
It's like I've gotta cook Brussels Sprouts just right for me,.. because I don't really like them when their under cooked and tuff,.. and I don't like them when their mushy either.
And that's it for my Saturday.

Today they were talking about God a little bit on the radio... About what gender people think God may be. And one girl called the show and said,.. "God couldn't be a woman,... because he/she wouldn't of gave women periods."
Personally,.. I think that a woman's menstrual cycle and periods could very well be caused by "need" alone. And that if someone was able to get rid of "need" from the earth,... women may not have periods anymore all due to that.
As if God won't even have to do anything to get rid of that,... it could just happen if "need" was gone from this world.
Today for work I finish painted a home office at my fireplace mantel job and now I've got that job completed except for a piece of furniture they'd like me to fix and re-finish.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked dinner for the cats.
They were also talking a bit about movie sequels on the radio lately. And it caused me to think of a funny scene if they were to make a sequel to the movie Anchorman. Say that there's a new kid working at the news room and Ron Burgandy is the one showing him the ropes.
One day they're both standing there talking to a beautiful girl,.. the new kid could have a clip board and be taking notes as Ron is speaking to the girl. The camera moves back to show that Ron Burgandy has a hard on showing through his pants,.. then the camera slowly moves back to show that the new kid also has a hard on showing through his pants as he's standing there listening to her and Ron and taking notes.
Well,.. that's about it for my Friday. I don't have anything planned other than going to bed here in a little while.

And then I went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had dinner. I went with Fettuccine Alfredo, Lasagna Vegitariana, Cavolini (Brussels sprouts), and an order of Pane Al'aglio (Garlic bread with a double order of arribiatta sauce). It's my only night of a week that I eat a big meal,.. so I usually order a bunch of things and end up bringing half of it home.
And now that I'm back home I'm sitting here in front of my computer feeling pretty full... Think I'm going to relax here for a little bit,... then probably go in and go to bed.
And that's it for my day today...

Today I worked on my fireplace mantel job just installing the cabinet doors and shelves and then preparing their home office for painting,.. and then I went to my other job and worked on repairing rotten and damaged redwood decking.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. prepared some fresh spinach and cooked myself a plate of spinach. I tried it with some sliced tomatoes today,.. and it was good,.. but the spinach has a better flavor all alone to me.
And then I cooked dinner for the cats. And now I'm getting ready to go in and change my sheets on my bed and turn the mattress too. The last couple nights have been like I'm being jabbed by a bed spring on my ribs or something.
And that's about it for my day today. Think I'll probably just go to bed early tonight.

Today I did some online banking and paid some bills. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked their dinner. I ran back ups of my computer files and ran a OneCare tune up. And I updated my work web site.
Then I worked on making my list of karaoke songs by Artist and by Song Name too now. And While I was at it I found this song called "Summerwind" and decided to sing it because I recently heard a radio DJ say that it's a really great song.
I don't think I've ever heard any body sing that song before, so I don't really know how it goe's and with the way I sang it today it was sounding too much like another song that I've sang. Like I was using the same voice and style that I used to sing "Something Stupid" and because of that it just reminded me of the song Somethin Stupid when I listened back to it.
So I'm thinking that I should change my voice tone next time I attempt to sing that song. Sounds like a pretty cool song on the karaoke disc,... just the instrumental parts does anyway.
That's about it for my day today. I'm going to go to bed here in a little bit and then get up to another work day tomorrow.

I made some videos this morning that I've put in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. Their the videos on top, all dated with today's date.
I'm not singing some of these Spandau Ballet songs to my liking as of yet,.. but with their song called "Gold",... I've noticed that I've improved with that one since the last time I sang it. So maybe I'll be able to improve with all the other ones too.
Today I went grocery shopping,... did one load of laundry,.. I weed eated around the house and I gave myself a hair cut.
Then I showered,.. and then after that I made myself a plate of fresh spinach,... and then I cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And now it's about 6:00pm here and I think I'll probably just get a little more familiar with some of these songs I've sang today and maybe continue making my list of karaoke songs by Artist and then I'm going to go to bed.
And that's it for my Saturday.

Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,... worked on making my list of karaoke songs by Artist,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked the cats dinner.
Oh,.. and it's laundry day for towel's too,... and I just got them folded and put away.

And now it's a little after 6:00pm here and I think I'm going to do basicly the same thing I did last night,... I'm going to keep making my list of karaoke songs by Artist,.. maybe I'll sing a little bit while I'm doing it and then I'm going to go to bed.
That's it for my day today. I don't remember if I learned anything new today...

Today I updated my web sites,.. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,.. I ran back ups of all my computer files,.. I ran a OneCare tune up on my computer here,.. and I mowed the lawn.
I also made a couple singing videos earlier today and put them in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. I'm not totally happy with the way I'm sounding today in the videos,.. but those were the best I did today. Their both on top in the player dated with today's date,.. Spandau Ballet's - TRUE and Quarterflash's - Harden My Heart.
Then I showered and then cooked myself another plate of spinach. I went with 5 large cloves of garlic this time to one bushel of spinach and fried the garlic in the olive oil before I put the spinach in the pan,.. and it tasted good. I don't have that lingering spicey garlic after taste today that I had from the spinach I made yesterday.
And then I cooked dinner for the cats and I've been sitting here making a list of all my karaoke songs by Artist because when I don't remember where I found a particular song I have over 100 karaoke discs to check through in order to find it. And now that I've started making that list I can see that I should also make a list by Song name because I don't always remember who the song was sang by on the karaoke discs.
And that's about it for my day today.

Saturday, July 12, 2008
Today I was home most all day just doing chores and things like that.
I did grocery shopping first thing this morning,.. and I finished one load of laundry. I payed all my bills. I shorted a TV cable that was dangling from the back of my house so that it's more neat and tidy looking now.
I planted my year round tomato kits. Got these kits from Publishers Clearing house. 3 little sacks that you hang and fill with this clear millineum soil then plant your tomato plants into it.
Then I made myself a plate of spinach. Half a pod of garlic tasted like a bit too much to be using for one bushel of spinach today. So I'm thinking I'm going go with a little less next time and also fry the garlic in the olive oil before I put the spinach in the pan instead of just mixing all the ingredients together before I put them in the pan.
And then I cooked dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today. It's going on 8:00pm here and I think I'm going to be ready for bed here in a little bit.

Today for work I worked on my fireplace mantel job and got the rest of the stone around the bottom of the fireplace all installed and then I went over to my job where I'm replacing redwood decking for the rest of the day.
Then I came home and locked my keys in my new work van. And I only have one key for that truck so I went ahead and called a locksmith. He unlocked my truck and made me an extra key in less than 10 minutes.
I thought about seeing if I could remove the rear window and getting my keys out myself,... but I like the fact that I didn't go that route.
Then I unloaded my van and loaded it for tomorrow's work. And then I did my daily work notes,.. showered,... fixed dinner for the cats,... and then went out to dinner myself over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
Dinner was really good tonight,.. I went with the Fettuccine Alfredo, Cavolini (brussels sprouts), Spinaci and an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread) with a double order of arribiata sauce.
And now I'm back home about ready to go in and go to bed and get ready for another day tomorrow.
And that's it for my day today.

Today I worked on my job where I'm removing and replacing damaged and rotten redwood decking.
Then I came home and loaded my van for tomorrow, did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And I think I'm just going to go to bed early tonight.
That's it for my day today.
I didn't learn anything new today that I know of.

Today for work I worked on my fireplace mantel job for a while getting the rest of the stone all laid out down at the bottom of the cabinets. Then I went over to another job and worked some more on removing rotten and damaged redwood decking.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked the cats dinner.
And that's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go to bed early tonight. I was up a lot of last night with a stuffed up nose and I've been feeling a bit run down today.

Today for work I went over to one job and got paid then I went over to another job where I'm removing and replacing rotten and damaged redwood decking and worked for the rest of the day.
Then I came home and sang some Foreigner songs because hearing them on the radio this morning sounded good and made me think about singing their songs. I didn't make no videos though.
And then I ran a new cable for my internet connection that I have here at my office.
And I did my daily work notes,... made a deposit at the bank,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And I showered somewhere in there too.
Over in AOL the other day they were showing potato chips that their tasters ranked as the best. I found one of the brands this morning and tried it. It was Kettle Brand Krinkle Cut Chips, Buffalo Bleu, Brazen Spice mellowed by bleu cheese. And I think their tasters were right,.. these are good chips. Nice thick cut potatos with a good amount of flavor on them.
Back when I was in 7th and 8th grade,.. Laura Scudders made some Barbecue chips that I thought were the best. But it wasn't every bag. It was only the bags that got extra flavor in them. Like the chips were completely covered with their orangish red barbecue flavor.
When I got a bag of them where they didn't put much flavor on them I'd pick through them and only eat the chips that had a good amount of flavor on them and throw the rest of the bag of chips away. Because the ones with very little flavor on them just weren't as tasty to me. Kind of like eating plain potato chips with a hint of a barbecue flavor on them.
The only time I've ever eaten plain potato chips,.. it's been because I had some dip to dip them into. I never choose to eat plain potato chips alone.
That's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go to bed here in a little bit and then get up and have another work day tomorrow.

I made a few practice videos today just getting more familiar with the Hall & Oates song One On One and didn't expect to see any videos in there that were Ok for showing in my web site. But I ended up with one that I think is Ok for a take 2.
In some of my latest videos I noticed that usually when I'm looking my best it's when I'm looking directly into the camera lens. So that's why I'm looking at the camera lens more often in the video that I'm putting in My All Video player today. The new video will be the one on top dated with today's date,.. Hall and Oates's - One On One - take 2.
Man,.. I was out behind my office digging up weeds earlier today and I cut into my cable for my internet connection. So I created a little extra work for myself this evening in order to have an internet connection. I was able to run an extra line that I had here at home and wire the ends together at the cut end temporarily until I get to the hardware store to get some more cable ends.
Think I'm going to re-run the cable now so that it isn't under ground.
Today I updated my work web site,.. ran back ups of all my computer files,... ran a OneCare tune up on 2 of my computers,.. finished 2 loads of laundry,.. and cooked a crock pot of food for the cats.
And I've just made myself another dish of spinach,... I put only half a pod of garlic in it this time and seemed just right.
And now I've showered and cooked the cats a nice dinner and it's about 7:00pm here and my day is pretty much done.
Oh,.. and I also did some more grocery shopping earlier this morning. My Stater Brothers didn't have my Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper yesterday,.. so I went and got some at a different Stater Brothers today.
And that's it for my day today.
I remembered something last night that I think I'll add here,... I don't remember if I've ever mentioned this before,... back when I was in grade school,... seems like it may of 6th grade,... I was the only boy that would get up in class and dance with the girls. No other boys in class would dance,.. but lots of the girls would.

Today I made one video and put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... Hall and Oates's - One On One.
It's a song that don't relate to my life now,... I just thought I'd learn how to sing a Hall and Oates song. I purchased a karaoke disc full of their songs quite a while back and haven't been able to sing any of them until now.
All their songs are coming to me like songs that I have to learn how to sing before I can sing them.
I use to be able to sound a lot like Sting singing the song Roxanne back in my first 24 years of life. And the way I did it was I would sing it entirely from the back of my throat in what I think they may call the falsetto range. Eventually through singing the song a lot I got pretty good at it where it seemed easy to sing like that.
But my life changed when I turned 24 and so did my voice. I went through a 15 or more year period where I didn't bother singing anymore because I just didn't like my voice anymore.
I wrote once some where that it was like I didn't even know how to work on vehicles anymore when my life changed.... It was like I had to re-learn most everything. And now with singing,... it's the same way,... especially when it comes to singing in my falsetto range.
Today I also did one load of laundry,... made up an Invoice for a job,... dusted and vacuumed my office,... went grocery shopping and did some online banking and paid my bills.
I got myself some spinach at the grocery store and made myself spinach for dinner tonight. I made it to where it tasted almost exactly Pomodoro Cucina Italiana style. The only thing I think I did different is I didn't put any pine nuts in mine. Think I put to much garlic in it though. I put one whole bunch of garlic to one bunch of spinach from the grocery store. I don't mean one clove,.. I mean,.. as many cloves that come in one pod of garlic.
I've never noticed the spiciness of garlic until today.
And now it's 5:00pm here and I've gotta go in and fix dinner for the cats in a little bit and after that my day will be about done.
I don't plan on doing much of anything tonight,... I'm thinking I'll probably just go to bed early.
Oh,... and I went over to Lowe's and got a few items I need for a job and a small container to put all this facial make up in that's been accumulating here on my desk.
And that's about it for my day today.

Today for work I worked on finishing my custom attic door job. It's a door that is on part of the wall and the ceiling,... so it's an L shaped door if you were to pull it down and look at it from the side. All aluminum with an aluminum frame and I had to do some patch work on the ceiling and wall around the frame. Today I finish painted the patch work and the attic door and frame.
Now that I'm home I've finished my daily work notes,.. showered and made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And now I've just finished fixing dinner for the cats and my chores can be all done for today. Other things that I have to do,.. I think I'll just put them off till the weekend.
Think I'm just going to go to bed early tonight.
And that's about it for my day today.

Yesterday I wrote in my dailies here that the words to the song Life Is A Highway don't fit into my life,... I take that back,... there is one line in the song that fits me,... it's "I'm not a lonely Man".
Well,.. today when I got home from work,.... Jax,.. the oldest female cat at my house has got every body but a few of her older daughters chased away now.... Oh,... and Christopher is here,... but he's Jax's younger sister's son. And Jax acts like she likes him.
Christopher the kitten I showed in my video from yesterday in my All Video player,.. he greeted me when I got home from work today,... and now he's lying here on my lap sleeping.
Most the kittens that the girls have around here aren't friendly with me,... their like wild cats that are either scared of me or just aren't interested in any kind of human contact. But once in a while one of them will be different. Christopher is friendly,.. acts like he likes the human contact and doesn't act scared of me at all.
Christopher's Mother has never been friendly with me,... she acts like she don't like me sometimes,.. but her sister was very friendly... When I first met them,.. her sister jumped right up and acted like she liked me right away. I think her sister is gone now though,.. I haven't seen her ever since she was a young girl. She preferred to hang out a couple doors down from my house.
I see over on AOL that their saying that Charlize is saying that the sex scenes in the movie Hancock were awkward and that she's feeling inadequate. Hmmm,... I saw her playing Monkey on Saturday Night Live one night and thought,.. "Man,... that girl will do anything". Maybe playing Monkey was a little awkward too,... it sure looked like it could of been.
Today for work I installed my fireplace mantel and cabinets on one job and went over to another and worked on installing their custom attic door.
Then I came home and did my usual chores,... did my daily work notes,.. showered then cooked dinner for the cats.
And then I went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a very filling dinner. I tried their new Vegetarian Lasagna tonight and liked it. It had an unusual sauce that I thought was different and good. Kind of savory like,... and kind of seemed like a thick beef soup broth or something.
And now I'm back home and probably just going to go to bed here in a little bit...
That's about it for my day today. I don't remember if I learned anything new today,.. but I am quite happy with the way my fireplace mantel and cabinets turned out now that their installed. I don't always get into or like doing much of anything anymore,... but I usually end up with something I like in end. I usually like what I've accomplished.

Today I worked on re-placing rotten red wood decking on one job,.. and delivered cabinets to my fireplace mantel job and also had to go and have a custom attic door made. I don't have the sheet metal bending tools to do the job myself.
Then I came home and made a bunch of videos that I'm not happy with and also did my daily work notes,... showered,... then cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked the cats a nice dinner.
Jax,.. the oldest female cat here at my house,... she's pissed off today,... she's been chasing and fighting with all the cats around her ever since I got home. It's like she's trying to chase off all the ones she don't like around here. She got in a fight with my Mom's cat Angel and could of hurt her bad. Angel is over 14 years old and she's looking old and acting old too. She walks slow kind of like my 80 year old Uncle Scott that lives with me here.
All the videos I made today,... it's my moves and my looks that I'm not happy with. I was finally able to sing the song Ok,... a song called "Life Is A Highway".
Dancing just isn't at all like it was for me back when I was 23 years old. I didn't have to concentrate on anything back then,... I could just move any way I liked to the music. Now days it's like I've gotta concentrate on moving a certain way,.. listening to the beat along with reading the words and singing them.
I didn't like some of my moves and looks in some of those White Rabbit videos that I put in my All Video Player either,... but I decided to put them in there because some of my moves looked cool to me.
This song called Life Is A Highway,... it's not like any of the words of the song fit into my life at this time,... the reason I decided to sing it is because it was the next song on my karaoke disc after White Rabbit,... and every time it would come on after White Rabbit it sounded real cool to me and like a song that I could sing.
And I didn't sing White Rabbit because it fits into my life,.. originally I was thinking of attempting to sing Jefferson Starship's Jane again,... see if I could do it better,.. and then when it didn't seem like I was going to be able to I decided to try out their White Rabbit.
Anyway,.. I did go ahead and put together a video from one of the videos that I made earlier today and one I made this evening. Funny,.... today,.. even when I filmed myself in the dark I didn't like the way I was looking,.. which happens to be the ending video that I'm going to put in my All Video Player this evening.
I'm going to put one video in there tonight,... it'll be the video on top dated with today's date,... Practice video of a song called Life Is A Highway.
That's about it for my day today.

Today for work I went over to my fireplace mantel job and painted the walls behind where the cabinets are going to be installed. I went with no backs on the cabinets because of the gas valve that is on the wall that will be inside one of the cabinets.
And then I went over to another job where I am re-placing damaged redwood decking for the rest of the day.
When I got home I made a few more practice videos of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. I pieced them together and put the video in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It'll be the video on top dated with today's date.
In the last video in the clip I think that's about as high as I'm going to be able to bring the pitch up in the ending parts of the song these days. I'd bring it up just a notch higher so that I could sing the last 2 or 3 lines in an even higher note if I could,... but I'm pushing it out of me to the point where the stress from it is showing on my face.
As Im watching the videos I'm thinking that I'm going to have to concentrate on attempting to keep my face from doing that. Because I don't like the way it looks at all.
And now it's near 8:30 pm here and I've had my shower,... made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and have cooked the cats a nice dinner.
And I think I'm going to go to bed here in a little bit... That's about it for my day today. I don't recall learning anything new today.

Today for work I finish painted all the rest of the wood work for my fireplace mantel job.
And I made some singing videos that I put in my All Video player. Their the 2 on top dated with today's date.
For me their just videos that have their moments showing me what I like and what I don't like. Shows me where I could improve things moves wise and sound wise.
Then I showered,.. and then went over to Rite-Aid and got a few things,.. then made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today.

A thought I just had after viewing my Friends In Low Places take 2 video,... "It's cool to catch myself looking good for a change,... I've been thinking that it's like I've gotta put a wig and some make up on in order to look good anymore".
Today I worked for a little while on my fireplace mantel project finish painting the cabinet doors and all the shelves for the cabinets.
Then I've also finished a load of laundry,.. showered,.. cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner.
And I also made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
That's about it for my day today,.. I think I'm going to go to bed nice and early tonight.

Yesterday before I went to bed I was just practice singing a song and actually ended up making a video that I didn't mind showing. So I put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page on top dated 6-27-2008 - Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit.
Today my mind gave me this thought about my singing of that song as if someone else could be thinking it,... "those are pretty big shoes to fill taking on a re-make of that song"...
Yeah,... I made 10 practice videos yesterday just to see what I sound like and didn't expect to see any videos in there that I liked. For my first time to sing that song I don't think I'm sounding too bad.
Today I've been thinking that maybe I should go with a little higher tone in the ending parts and get rid of the grind in my voice that's in those ending parts too.
Today I worked on getting all my wood work for my fireplace mantel job sanded so that I can put the finish coats of paint on it maybe tomorrow.
And I've got one load of laundry that is in the dryer still getting dried,.. I've showered,... I've made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and I've cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today. Just another F'n day going by again. And I've been thinking that I'm just going to go to bed early again tonight.

Today I found a video of Garth Brooks singing his Friends In Low Places song and learned that I'm singing it a little different than he is. If I would of known that before I started singing this karaoke version of his song I would of sang it more like he does.
I do like the way that I'm singing it too though.
A friend of mine that works with me likes to listen to Country music,... so that's where I heard Garth Brooks's Friends In Low Places last.
That's also where I first heard a really cool song from Keith Urban called Once In A Lifetime.
I saw the song over at karaoke.com and would probably buy it and attempt to sing it myself,.. but now isn't the time to be singing a song with words of those type. . .
And I'm supposed to be saving my money for my Big Fast,.. . . too.
I bought the song in a download back when this computer was running on Windows XP but once I switched to Windows Vista I can't play it anymore. And that's why I don't really like buying downloaded songs.
Now days I just go out and get the whole CD instead.
Today for work I got all my woodwork primed for my fireplace mantel job.
And then I showered,.. ate my left overs from Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today,.. I think I'm just going to go to bed early again tonight.

Today I worked on my fireplace mantel project for a short day. Had some caulking to do on it that needs to dry before I can put the primer on.
Then I made a video today. Decided to see if I could get a better recording of Friends In Low Places. I'm not so sure that I sang it as well as I can,.. but it seems to me that I caught myself looking about the best that I have ever caught myself looking in these videos.
I put the video in my All Video player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... Garth Brooks's - Friends In Low Places - take 2.
And then I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and then got cleaned up and went over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a great dinner. I've been going with the Fettuccine Alfredo,.. Cavolini (brussels sprouts),.. Spinaci and an order of Pane Al'aglio (garlic bread with a double order of arribiatta sauce) a lot lately. It's always real good,.. and most the time,.. I like to order something that I know is going to be good. And I like the extra arribiatta sauce for dipping my Cavolini and Fettuccine Alfredo into.
And now I'm home and all my chores are done for the day,.. and I think I'm just going to go to bed here in a little while.
That's about it for my day today.

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night singing "Honey,.. you are my shining star,.. don't you go away,... oo oo oo baby".
I haven't had a song playing in my head out of the blue like that for a long time. I actually wrote it down,... it was December of 2006 when I woke up with a Shania Twain song called "Your Still The One" playing in my mind as I was singing along with it.
Today I worked on my fireplace mantel job again. Had to go and get the cabinet doors for it and install them,.. and got it all pretty much ready for painting.
And then I did the usual again,.. did my daily work notes,... showered,... made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today,... I'll probably just go to bed early tonight.

Today I worked at home working on finishing the fireplace mantel cabinets that I've been building.
I made a video earlier today,... seems like the lighting is best in my office for videos in the late mornings. So I came in and shot it after Mark & Brian of KLOS radio finished their show.
Today's video is in my All Video Player on my Video Archives page up on top dated with today's date,... Eagles - Lyin Eyes.
Then I just did the usual for the rest of my day,... did my daily work notes,... showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
That's about it for my day today,... I don't remember learning anything new today worth mentioning.

For work today I went out to my fireplace mantel job and made sure all the cabinets were going to fit correctly,.. then came home and worked on building the upper mantel piece.
Then I've also been to the bank and made a deposit,.. did my daily work notes,... showered,.. fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And that's about it for my day today. It's 7:00pm here now,... and I'm probably just going to go to bed here in a little bit...

Today I made one video. It's in my All Video Player on my Video Archives page and I also put it in YouTube because I have some friends that know about my YouTube videos. I've only given the address to this web site out in one place back when I first made this site,... I put it on my living room couch.
Anyway,... the video I made today is a song called Respect listed in my video player on top with today's date. I know that Aretha Franklin sang this song,... and Reba Mcentire too,... but I'm not sure who's song it originally was or who wrote it.
Also today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and fixed them dinner. And I went grocery shopping.
And that's pretty much all I did today. I was going to go out side and do some work on my fireplace mantel job,... but having more of a taking it easy day sounded better.
And that's about it for my Sunday. Think I'm gonna go to bed nice and early tonight.

Saturday, June 21, 2008
Today I worked on my fireplace mantel job here at home for a little while,... and then I got an idea for singing a song,.. so I went down to the local costume shop and got me a new wig.
I haven't used it yet. Thought I'd try it out tomorrow morning sometime when it's a little cooler.
But I did make a new video earlier today and put it in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the one on top dated with today's date,... Garth Brooks's - Friends In Low Places.
Sounds like I didn't sing it too badly to me,... but I don't like the sound quality that I got in that video. I think it may be partly because I have the recording microphone up on my desk where the speakers are. Like the rumbling from the speakers could be rumbling the microphone too.
In the video it sounds like I've got the instruments turned up to high,.. but as I was singing the song I had them turned down to where I could barely hear them.
I've also showered and am still working on finishing a couple loads of laundry. And now I'm about ready to go in and fix dinner for the cats,... and I think I might call it a day after that.
And that's about it for my day today.
I like that Garth Brooks song. I never really noticed the slower parts of the song when I've heard it on the radio though,... like the chorus part is what always stood out the most. Now that I've sang it myself and know what the words are saying I'm liking the slower parts of the song too.

Today I worked at home again working on building cabinets and a mantel for a fireplace.
And then I showered,... and then after that I ate my left overs from Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
And now I've just fixed dinner for the cats,... and I'm sitting here with something very negative on my mind that's bothering me.
Think I'm just going to go to bed and black out.
That's about it for my day today...

Thursday, June 19, 2008
Today I got to stay home and work on the fireplace mantel cabinets that I've been building.
And I made up an invoice for a job,.. did my daily work notes,.. showered,... then went over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had dinner.
And now I'm back home feeling very full,... and I'm thinking maybe the cats will be fine with just a glass of milk tonight instead of a full on dinner,... it's such a hot day,... maybe a nice cold drink will be better than a warm meal.
I got to dinner extra early tonight,.. so now I'm already back home at 5:30pm with seemingly nothing to do.
That's about it for my day today... I'll probably just go to bed early tonight I think...

Today for work I applied a clear epoxy coating to the flake style epoxy floor that I finished yesterday and I did some patch work up on a ceiling around an attic access door that I'm making and I had to do a bunch of running around for things for a couple jobs too.
Then I came home and pretty much did my usual,... did my daily work notes,... showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then fixed a nice dinner for the cats.
I'm feeling slightly sick this evening. All day it's been like I'm getting Laryngitis or something,... but maybe it's going to turn out to be a Cold,... I don't know.
I was pushing my singing the other day,... like even though it was hard to sing at times I was forcing it out of myself anyway... So I've thinking that maybe I'm getting Laryngitis for the first time in my life.
That's about it for my day today. I'm going to go to bed early tonight.

Today for work I worked on a house applying a flake style floor epoxy covering to a Golf Cart garage. And I also worked on making templates for a custom attic access door.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats and made myself a frozen style pizza. I tried a California Pizza Kitchen White pizza for the first time. It had spinach, cheese and garlic on it with no tomato sauce.
Today I went through my videos in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page and got rid of the ones I don't think of as keepers then moved some of the upper videos down to where I could list them by the original Singer or song title instead of by date.
And that's about it for my day today,.... think I'm just going to go to bed early tonight.

While listening to KLOS radio this morning it surprised me to hear one of the DJ's there say that he "loves chicken pop or pot pies",.. him being the finicky eater and all,... won't even eat his Mom's home made chili.
I wouldn't really eat my Mom's home made chili either,... because of the little green things and onions that she put in it,... but when I finally tasted the sauce it was very good,... so what I would do was,.. I would just dip tortillas into the sauce only without picking up any chunks of anything and eat it that way.
Later I learned how to make the chili myself and didn't put any things in it that I didn't like and could eat the sauce and the chunks in my chili....
I've never cared for Pop or Pot pies,... it was always because of all those vegetables that they put in them. If they would of made them chicken pop or pot pies without any vegetables I may of liked them.
I'm a vegetarian like person now,... but I still don't care to eat Pea's,... and I don't like celery and asparagus and Lima beans too... I tried cauliflower and it didn't seem to have any taste,... so I have no reason to be eating it either.
Oh,.. and I don't think I like eggplant, cucumbers and avocados too.
I'm not sure what a "Leek" is,... but I don't trust it due to the name of it....
I've found that I can eat an onion now. Not necessarily all onions though. Don't think I like chives or shallots... Actually,... it's mostly the red onion that I've found that I can like the taste of... It's because it has a sweet spicy taste to it.
Today for work I worked at a house installing custom window shades along with a little touch up patching and painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
I wouldn't eat refried beans until I was in my teenage years. It was due to the looks and color of them. And for a long time I was still leery of them even when I was eating them. Like I liked my burritos best with more cheese than beans.
That's about it for my day today.

Today I mowed the lawn,... I unloaded some lumber and cut it to size for my fireplace mantel job. I finished a load of laundry. I ran back ups for my computer files and ran a computer tune up from Microsoft's OneCare.
And I also cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,... updated my work notes page in my work web site,... and did some online banking and paid most my bills.
I did some singing and made a couple more videos today. I put them in My All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page and their on top, dated with today's date,... a song called Tender Trap - take 1 and take 2.
I put this fluorescent light on myself while I was making the videos today and when I went to de-green screen them it caused my hair to look so dark that it blended in with the black back ground that I was using,... and it also made my skin color look extra white.
So that's why I changed the videos to the way they are looking.
I also cooked dinner for the cats and fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito today.
And that's about it for my day today.
I guess it could be said that what I learned today was,.. I learned how to sing the song called "Tender Trap" in the style that I came up with. I don't remember ever hearing anybody else sing this song.

Today I worked on my fireplace mantel job for a while finishing the cabinets that I built for it along with getting most of the rest of the materials for it.
And I also did a couple loads of laundry,... one of them is still in the dryer. And I showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats,... and made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.... And I've been grocery shopping too.
I made some singing videos earlier today. I put the one I liked the best in My All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,.. A song called I've Got The World with a few word changes.
My little rainbow that I drew in this video,... the green got blacked out when I de-green screened the video and it caused the blue to look like it disappeared too. So that's why my rainbow is missing some of it's colors.
And that's about it for my day today. I don't remember learning anything new today,.... as usual....
I'm just not a person that is striving to learn new things like Doogie Howser was.

Today for work I worked at home again building cabinets for a fireplace mantel job that I'm working on.
And then I did my usual work notes,.. shower,.. cook dinner for the cats and made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Then I went out and did some shopping over at BestBuy,.. Aaron Brothers and Lowe's. Had to pick up a few things for some jobs I'm working on and I picked up a present for my Mom's birthday.
And now I'm about ready for bed again... That's about it for my day today,... I don't remember if I learned anything new today.

Today I worked on building cabinets for a fireplace mantel job that I'm working on.
And then I pretty much did my usual,... did my daily work notes,... showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. then went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a really good dinner.
Now I'm home from dinner and I'm gonna sit here and play with this font making software for a little while before I go to bed.
I've had this font maker software on my tablet PC ever since I got it,.. but I never tried it until last night. . . I just gave it a quick try and actually made my very first font of my own. And it really didn't turn out bad at all for just quickly writing out the letters by hand.
So I thought if I take my time with it I may be able to make some really nice fonts of my own.
I don't know if I learned anything new today or not...
And that's about it for my day today.

For work today I worked on a house cleaning and etching a Golf Cart garage floor so that I can put a speckled type epoxy finish on it maybe next Monday,.. and then I also did some exterior trim touch up painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and cooked a nice dinner for the cats...
Oh,.. and I showered somewhere in there too... And now I'm sitting here just about ready for bed again.
That's about it for my day today,... so far it looks like I get to work at home for Thursday and Friday.

Today I went over to Radio Shack to get a little cord that will allow me to plug my ipod into my work radio,... and when I paid the guy at the counter he went to give me my change and completely missed my hand as it all dropped on the counter.
He goes,... "I missed,.. .. .. . that's why I don't play basketball no more"...
I couldn't help but laugh there because I had a very similar experience. One day during my problem life years I thought,.. "I think I'll put up a basketball hoop,... I use to like to shoot baskets back when I was a kid".
So I went out and bought a back board, hoop, net and basketball,.. then I had to make a custom steel rack to sit up on the garage where I was staying at the time and then I spent a good part of a day getting it mounted.
It took part of 3 days to get it all set up,.. and then when I was finally able to shoot some baskets I shot and shot and shot and never made a basket. I threw it up there about a 100 times that day and never made one basket.
So I said "forget this" and never shot baskets with my new basketball hoop there ever again.
Today for work I worked at home where I worked on building cabinets for a fireplace mantel. Then I showered, fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked dinner for the cats.
And then I did my work notes for the day and also checked the oils and water levels in my new work van. It's oil looks like it's about ready for an oil change besides the fact that it was quite low on oil.
And that's about it for my day today. I'm gonna go turn the air conditioner on in my bedroom and cool the room off and then go to bed here in a little bit...

Today I went out and worked on a house fabricating a custom attic door and patching a concrete floor that I'm going to be putting an epoxy coating on.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,... showered,.. made a few music videos that I'm not happy with,... cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here just about ready to go in and go to bed.

Sunday, June 8, 2008
My Sunday started out with turning on my desk top computer and reading my emails along with finding out that all my external back up hard drives had ended up getting new drive letters when I turned them on today... So I had to change all my back up configurations to where they were pointing to the new drive letter on my back up hard drives.
And then because the drive letters changed on my hard drives it caused the USB drive where all my paper work is to change too. So I had to configure my GS note pad to start opening it's files from the new drive letter too.
I'm just figuring that it's a good idea to turn all those back up hard drives off until I go to use them is all,... because it should make them last a lot longer.
I also painted the fascia boards and siding on my house,.. and cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,... made up an Invoice for a job,.. and worked some more on a painting estimate.
And now it's 4:00pm here and I just made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and I'm about ready to go in and fix dinner for the cats.
And that will be about it for my day today. Think I'm just going to go to bed nice and early again...

Today I worked on a house doing things like,.. re-installing a shower door,.. re-installing a room divider,... touch up painting a ceiling where her washing something off caused a shinny looking spot,... and then touch up painting exterior overhangs and siding and fences.
Now that I'm home I've did my daily work notes,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. have a load of laundry now in dryer mode,.. and have cooked myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
I steamed my tortilla,.. then wrapped up my burrito and then fried it this time. And what was better about doing it this way was,.. it's like it makes the tortilla ideal for rolling it up into a burrito. The one thing I'll do different next time though is I'll steam both sides of the tortilla instead of just one side,.. because my burrito was still a little,... well the side that wasn't steamed was still crackable (for lack of a more correct way to say it at this time)...
I could see that it cracked on both ends after I rolled it up and before I fried it.
My burrito cracked on the bottom and oozed out as I was eating it. I had a napkin wrapped around the bottom of it though,.. so I was able to keep it from oozing out too awful bad.
And that's about it for my day today,... I'm just going to go to bed early tonight again.
I don't remember learning anything new today.

Today for work I applied an extra layer of stone to the top of a fireplace mantel area and then I came home and got started in building the cabinets that are going to go around the fireplace.
And now it's a little after 5:30pm here and I just got back from having dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
I also did all my usual chores before I went to dinner and now I'm sitting here thinking that my day is done and I can go to bed soon if I like.
The thing I remember learning new today was about someone that got their Teeth fixed but it's not something that I care to write about in detail. . . I'm not always real big on talking about other people.

Today I worked on a house doing a bunch of touch up painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. showered,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats and fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
I've been wrapping up my burritos then frying them in a pan up till today. Today I steamed my tortilla then wrapped it up and didn't fry it.
It's like it made the same exact ingredients taste different by not frying it.
Next time I make one I'm going to steam the tortilla first,.. because it makes a really nice soft tortilla that doesn't break and crack,.. and it wrap's the burrito great too,... and then I'm going to fry it,... because frying it heats up the inside ingredients real well. It can make the burrito taste different to me just having the cheese melted instead of still in it's shredded form.
I remember back in my High School days we use to go to Taco Bell a lot for lunch. Back then their burritos would come so hot you could hardly eat them at first. Now days,.. sometimes when I get a Burrito from a fast food place it comes with cold ingredients. Even the beans were barely warm.
And that's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go in and go to bed early tonight.
I don't remember learning anything new today.

Today for work I delivered and installed a screen door that I spray painted and I went over to another job and patched walls, tightened up some overhangs that were drooping and patched them, caulked around a sliding shower door and worked on fabricating a custom attic door.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. made a call about a possible new job,.. cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
On the radio this morning they were talking about things that were happening with the Space Station out in outer space,.. and they made it sound like that Space Station is one where we share it with others like the people in Russia and Japan too.
I think that's really cool if so,... something cool that other countries can share and help with too.
Like it's a friendly venture that's shared with the World.
That's about it for my day today,... I'm just going to go to bed early again tonight.

Today I got the impression that somebody would like to see an old video that I didn't put back in my video player. I've gotten this impression a few days back too,.. but I just let the thought go thinking,... ah,.. it's probably nothing,.. possible bullsh_t thought.
But since it's coming to mind again I went ahead and put the video back in my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's in there listed as: Christmas song - Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer - September 2007.
I was thinking that I was going to wait until around Christmas time to put Christmas songs back in my Videos,.. but besides that,.. that Rudolph video isn't one of my favorites of mine.
One of my favorite Christmas videos of mine is the Eagles version of Please Come Home For Christmas.... I went ahead and put it back in my All Video Player too. It's in the Video player right under Rudolph The Rednose Reindeer.
Today I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and fixed them a nice dinner. I painted all the metal flashing that is above my fascia boards on my house and garage. I pulled a couple shrubs out of my front lawn. I did a little shopping over at Target and I did some online banking and paid my bills.
That's about it for my day today. I'm just going to go to bed early again tonight.
And I don't remember learning anything new today other than Microsoft's SP1 for Vista was in my updates for my computer today. I installed it and everything seems fine so far...

Today for work I worked on installing Stone to a fireplace.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes,.. had myself a bowl of chili,.. showered and then fixed dinner for the cats.
And I watched a little bit of the 5:00pm News on channel 2 and 7. Hello to any of you out there that are thinking of Me I guess. It can still look like some of you may be...
It's good to see that Marc Brown and Michelle Tuzee and Dallas Raines are still working there on channel 7. And Ric Romero and Rob Fukuzaki too... As I'm checking to make sure I'm spelling your names right,... your web site is looking really nice these days. It's been upgraded since the last time I checked it out. Oh,... you've got pop up advertisements coming out of your site though.
Those pop up advertisements are always just a new window to have to close. Sometimes they pop right up front of what you were reading too.
I don't mind the advertisements that don't pop up like that...
It's not like I've considered the pop up advertisements to be a problem really,... most of them get blocked by my pop up blocker... I guess some of them have found a way to get around pop up blockers though.
And that's about it for my day today. Think I'm just going to go to bed early again.
Today I learned that Rob Fukuzaki is younger than I am. Or at least he made it sound like he is anyway when he was doing his Sports News this evening.

Well,.. I actually forgot to do my dailies here last night...
It's 5:00am on Wednesday morning right now as I'm writing this out... Seems like this is the first time that I've forgot a day since I started writing these dailies...
Well,.. it's not like I had much to say anyway. Yesterday,.. or,... on this day,... I stayed home and painted a screen door,.. and then I went out to a job where I'm going to be building a fireplace mantel and got the stone work figured out.
Then I came home and did my usual chores,... showered, cooked dinner for the cats and did my daily work notes.
And I also checked in with channel 2, 4 and 7,.. checked out the 5:00pm News a little bit.
And I fixed myself a bowl of home made chili,.. and went to bed soon afterwards...
That was about it for my day on Tuesday. I may of learned something new on this day,.. but nothing is coming to mind at this time,... Oh,.. here's one I'm remembering,... I learned on the News last night that they now have special underwear and bra's that can send information to your Doctor as your wearing them.
It sure stayed light out late last night,.. it was going on 9:00pm and it was still pretty light out last night. And it seems like it's getting light out early too here this morning,.. it was already getting light out at 5:00am.

It's about 1:00pm in the afternoon here and I'm just thinking of going to bed.
Today I folded a load of laundry,... I updated my web sites,.. I mowed the lawn and I ran a bunch of back ups of all my computer files.
And that's about it for my day today. Think I'm going to fix the cats an early dinner and then go to bed.
It's not like I'm down,.. or tired,... it's just that there isn't anything else that I really care to be doing.

Man,.. that "Alone Again Naturally" song,... I've been playing it over and over again ever since I sang it... I found myself a cool new song when I found that one.
It's my favorite song right now...
Today I did a couple loads of laundry and cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats.
And I also labeled a bunch more of the karaoke discs that I have,... cooked a nice dinner for the cats and made myself a bowl of my home made chili.
And that's about it for my day today,... I don't plan on doing much more tonight...
Think I'm just going to go to bed early.
Today I learned that I have karaoke songs on disc that I didn't even know that I had.

Saturday, May 24, 2008
While going through my Karaoke discs today I came across a song that kind of fits me a bit. And it sounds slightly familiar to me,... but I'm not sure how they sing it originally,.. so I'm just singing it in the way I came up with.
I made a video of me singing it,... it's in My All Video Player that's on My Video Archives page. It's the video on top dated with today's date,... "Alone Again Naturally"...
This is one of my Karaoke discs that came with static on it. So there's a little static playing along with this video.
I've been Alone,... single,... for over 22 years now.... I don't think I would of even been bothering with girls during these problem years of my life if that God related match up never happened.
Before that I was in a mode where,.. I can't be like other people,... I can't be a normal person,... so I might as well not bother.
Somethin like that anyway...
And now here I am back to more how I was thinking before that God related match up happened.
I know it will be much more possible for a girl to treat me in an interested way if I was able to be more like a normal person. One like I was back when I was 23 years old.
It was possible for girls to like me in an interested way back when I was 23 years old.
I remember one time me and a girl were together in a bar,.. and we got up to leave,.. we were holding hands,.. and as we were walking by a table a girl jumped up and gave me a bear hug,... just wrapped her arms around me and put her body up against mine.
She was letting me know that she liked me too there.
I was able to communicate and socialize just like everybody else could back then. I can't anymore,... not until I get rid of the problem I have.
I was given this problem back when I was around 24 years old it vibrated into my mind one night as I was lying in bed. And I later realized that I was given a problem,... and the only way to get my life back,... is if I get rid of that problem.
I haven't thought about it in that way in a long time.
Today I did a couple loads of laundry and also did a little grocery shopping.
And I labeled a bunch more of my karaoke discs that didn't come with any labels.
And I cooked a nice dinner for the cats and also made myself a pot of home made chili.
That's about it for my day today. And I don't recall learning anything new today...

Due to the rainy weather today I ended up staying home and the only work that I did today was,.. I sanded a screen door that I'm going to be painting.
Other than that I didn't do a whole lot today. My day went by fast.
I did watch the last half of the Ellen show today and also an episode of According To Jim.
And I've fixed a nice dinner for the cats and also made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And I also called and got Insurance for my new work van and made labels for some of my karaoke discs that don't have any labels.
That's about it for my day today,... I'm going to go to bed early tonight again.
I don't recall learning anything today worth mentioning...

Today I delivered some more Stone samples to a job and then I went over to a job that needs some redwood decking replaced,.. but it was raining pretty hard there,.. so I decided to go a return the Stone that the customer didn't like and picked up some that they do like.
And I primed a screen door this morning also.
I was able to watch American Idol early today. I got it recorded correctly this time. And I thought it was a pretty entertaining last show they had there.
And for the rest of my day I just did the usual,... showered,.. fed the cats,... then went out and had a good dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
And that's about it for my day today,.. I think I'm going to go to bed early again tonight.

Today I delivered some Stone to a job,.. then I went and picked up a screen door that I'm going to be painting from another job,.. then I came home and prepared the screen door for painting and went over to Riverside Stone and picked up a few more different colored Stones because the people I'm doing the fireplace mantel job for didn't like one of the colors of Stone that I brought them,... and I also made a few more stain samples for a different job.
Now that I'm about finished for the day,... I've just had myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and I fixed the cats a nice dinner and I'm thinking that I'm going to go to bed early again.
I didn't get to see last night's American Idol,... I made a mistake and recorded channel 2 instead of channel 11.
But I'll get it right tonight. Seems like tonight's show is going to be their last show for this season.

Then I went over to Riverside Stone and picked up some Stone for a fireplace job that I'm working on.
And then I came home and had a shower,.. fixed dinner for the cats,... and made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Looks like it's an orange day for some of the people working at CBS News for some reason today.
Think I might just record American Idol tonight so I can go to bed early. I've got about 2 and a half hours till it comes on and nothing much to do.

Today for work I worked on fixing a toilet on a job. It had a leaking valve and the mounting plate was too tall causing the toilet to sit up off the ground all around the edges.
Now that I'm home I've fixed a nice dinner for the cats,.. and did my daily work notes. And I've had a shower and I got this year round tomato kit in the mail today. So I planted the seadlings and got their pouches all prepared.
And that's about it for my day today,... I'm gonna go to bed early tonight again.

Today I finished scraping the fascia boards on my house.
I cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and fixed them a nice dinner.
I did some Online banking and paid my bills and made some calls about work for tomorrow.
And I fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Think I'm going to go to bed early again today.
Today I realized that it's possible to show "care" without it being laced with "want"... A little kitten is very sick at my house and I've been doing what I can to help her. But it looks like she's not going to make it to me. Doing what I can to help her in a nice way shows "care"... Not wanting to help or fix her gets rid of the "want".
So "care" can be a word all on it's own without "want" being a part of it.
The word "love" I think can be done without it being laced with "want" also,... but I'm not sure if "love" can be done without it being laced with "care".

I heard on the radio this morning that a raccoon bit somebody and they found him and youthinized him .
Youthinized,... makes it sound like they turned him back into a youngster or something. And I don't see it in my dictionaries no matter how I'm spelling it. But I think I've seen the definition of the word somewhere before and that it means that they killed him.
So today I thought that I can tell everybody one of the reasons as to why it is that killing isn't cool around here at this time.
It's because not only does the jealous God being here cause "jealousy, want and need" ,.. but he also causes "Death". Death that equals you don't have no life no more.
And the reason that Jesus Christ was able to stay alive,... if he did,.. is because he had our God and the jealous God in a separated state...
When I put the jealous God into a trying to be like our God state through fasting till I would normally die,... it separates our God and the jealous God.
Like instead of being all meshed together as if they are one life form,... it causes them to be separated to where they are exactly like 2 lifeforms in my mind.
Our God was able to push the jealous God over to the right side of my brain,... it took years for him/her to get it to the point where they are almost seeming equal in size,... but it causes my right eye to be dominant. Jealous God is on the right side of my brain and in control of giving me life,.. but by having to do it where he is having to try and be like our God who don't need at all.
If I screw up and want for something and it allows the jealous God to take back full control of giving me life in his very needy way,... it causes the jealous God and our God to mesh back together again.
A few years back there was a Star out in Space that looked like he was hanging around close to the Earth's Moon.
When I saw that,... I thought that that may of been Jesus Christ.
See,.. the way I see it,... without the jealous God here,... if someones body died,... that someone would still be alive in his mind which would allow our God to either fix his body,... create him a whole new body,... or even take him up into Space to learn what it's like to live with the ability to create things with your mind.
"Killing" probably still won't be cool if the jealous God wasn't here,... but the way I'm seeing it,... "Killing wouldn't equal Death anymore without the jealous God here".
I've got a tip for anybody that was to attempt to do this fasting job of mine. Whether it's because I wasn't able to finish the job and am gone now,... or because you just want to see if you can do it instead of me.
It would be best if you got a bunch of confirmation from our God before you try and do it. Because if our God don't even know that your attempting such a thing,... he/she can't help you.
I believe our God is one being,... just like we are,... and there are a lot of being's on this world to be watching and listening to.
Also,... if someone was to choose to do this job because they "want" to be the one. Your all ready in the wrong there for a person doing this job,.... because your doing it out of "want".
In the mind type confirmations from God can be like you may have to weed through the bullsh_t. And then they can also come to you as obvious,... because the same thing gets said to you twice making it obvious that there are 2 beings talking to you.
But I'd say that some of the best confirmations from our God are the ones where he/she actually moves you.
And if you were a person that was just thinking that you think that you could do this fasting job,... not out of "want",... but out of,... you think you've got what it takes to do it,... and that your going to give it a try.
You can't "want for" our God to give you a sign,... but if your not the wanting type and if our God is actually moving your head away when your going to eat or drink something,... like as if he/she is giving you a sign that it's Ok to fast,... then you may be able to try and do the job.
Personally,.. I let our God give me a bunch of signs like those before I was totally convinced.
The main key for doing this fasting job is "not to want for anything" along with knowing that your getting our Gods help. Knowing that he/she is with you on what your doing. And one other thing that is probably important for doing this fasting job is,... breathing,.... it's like there's a difference in your breathing,... like the jealous God is breathing right along with you,... and if our God is with you and going along with what your doing,... you can decide to stop breathing,.. which causes our God to take control of your breathing,.. causing the jealous God to have to breath like our God.
Which is "not at all". And it's like your body is just breathing on it's own.
And the reason that I see the breathing part as important is,... because when your fasting,... as if your on the big fast,... your going to fast until the jealous God needs himself out of ya,... "if he's breathing along with you,... then he's still getting some of what he needs and it's possible that his breathing alone will keep him from having to leave your body. (tip: don't want for him to leave your body,.. that will cause him to take back full control of giving you life. Sometimes our God can block him from hearing your first want,.. but if you do it one more time there,.. the jealous God will take back full control. That's how it's been for me anyway...)
If your a person that is obviously getting help from our God to fast for this purpose,... our God will probably let you know about the breathing thing,... it came to me in a thought kind of like this,.. "stop breathing".
They told me at the hospital once that one thing that's different about me is that "I have a slow heart rate". I think the reason for that is just the difference in being fully controlled by the jealous God to putting him in a state where he's trying to give life like our God does.
Another thing about this fasting job,... if you were a person that was getting help to do it from God,.. and your planning on going on the big fast,.. the one that's going to rid the world of need,... there's no telling how long your going to have to live your life for without having anything. You may have to go without anything for years...
I don't know,.. but what I do know though is that in my body,... we have been wearing the jealous God down for lots of years now by causing him to have to try and be like our God.
I'd say over 15 years now,.. because once the jealous God vibrated into my mind when I was 24 years old,... it took me a few years before I learned that fasting could help me,... and did...
Other keys for doing this fasting job that I've mentioned before,... "don't be needy",... that one has to do with "want",... your body is going to act like it's needing,... "don't be needy by wanting for something"
And "don't be jealous". I haven't had no problems with that one maybe because I've lived my life for so long not being that way that it's like automatic to not be that way for me,... but I can just imagine how if you were to be jealous,... that would cause you to be like the jealous God and could cause him to take back full control of giving you life.
The jealous God is here out of jealousy of our God,.. which is caused by his "want",... which causes "need". It causes the jealous God to need,... and it's his need that causes need in us. (His "jealousy" is caused by his "want" which causes "need",.. and "need" causes "death")...
So,.. how it works for putting the jealous God into a wearing him out position is,... you've got to fast,.. go without everything to the point where you would normally die,.. but you don't because our God takes control of giving you life which causes the jealous God to take back control out of jealousy of our God which causes the jealous God to have to try and be like our God who doesn't need at all.
It's always took somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks to make that happen for me.
And at that time when you've got the jealous God in a trying to be like our God state,... then you can have things like food and drinks again for as long as you don't want for anything. Wanting for something once may be able to be blocked,.. but "2 wants in a row" for sure has always meant for me that I just screwed up and am going to have to fast again.
(tip: there has been no way of knowing when I've fasted for long enough and am able to have again. I never have been able to tell when that moment that I would normally die has been. But like I've said,.. somewhere between 2 and 3 weeks has always worked for me).
Far fetched,.. odd,.. maybe even ridiculous sounding stuff,... (I've thought "ridiculous" a few times as I've been learning this stuff),... but I can tell you that it's a real thing.
I "believe" that there is a jealous God here that has taken control of giving life to us. And I "believe" that we really do have a real God here.
I don't see why I would of ever "fasted" in my life if it wasn't for this part of my life. I'm not religious at all and have never been interested in being so... I don't mean that in an against religion way,... I've just never been interested is all.
I can see where religion plays it's part in this job that I'm doing,.. and through what I've seen of religion,.. it has usually come across like they're just trying to teach people to be good people.
Hercules,.. The Lengendary Journeys,... He came across like a great guy,.. a really good superhero and good person.
And I don't remember him being this way,... but I'd say that one way to get your Superman abilities taken away if it was possible to give and have those kind of abilities,... could be,... "using your powers for personal gain".
Today I didn't have any work that was pressing to get to out in the field,... so I ended up staying home all day,.. and I worked on sanding and scraping the facia boards of my garage and house along with writing all the things I wrote above in my dailies for today. Like,... every time I thought of something more to write,.. I'd come back in the office and write it down.
Then I showered,... fixed a nice dinner for the cats,.. and then went out and had a good dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
I went ahead and stayed up for American Idol last night. Thought it was another good show.
I don't remember learning anything new today.

I'm kind of in between jobs right now,... so today I went out and did some checking on some materials for a job. And I made a few calls about work.
I had some free time today,... so I tried out this DVD player software on my computer today. I put in the movie "As Good As It Gets" not meaning to watch the whole movie and next thing ya know I've watched the whole movie.
I get a lot of laughs from that movie,... every time I've watched it. When Jack Nicholson pounds his hand on the table loudly in one scene,.. he reminds me of my Dad back when I was kid pounding his hand on the kitchen table and saying,.... "I want my dinner NOW"....
And I cooked a nice dinner for the cats,... and fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And that's about it for my day today. I saw American Idol last night and liked it. That guy that wears the orange wrist band can make it seem like he may know me,... but I think that he may not be doing that in thinking of me because I don't know why he would know me.
There's about an hour until American Idol is on again tonight. I'm not sure if I'm going to stay up and watch it or just record it for later.
And I don't remember learning anything new today.

Today I found myself thinking about if it was possible for God to give us Humans Superman like abilities,... what it might require for a person to acquire that ability.
I think you would have to be the type of person that would not abuse your power.
I don't think that I was the right kind of person to get this kind of ability back when I was 23 years old (in what I call my real life days where I was showed what life is really supposed to be like) because I was feeling so great then that I actually had the thought,... "now I can really fight" and found myself a bit anxious to get in a fight every time the possibility came around then.
One night,... a girl dropped me off at my apartment,.. and then her friend's husband pulled in right behind her and jumped out of his truck bitching at the girl,... saying things about how she shouldn't be driving his other truck like that. He had been away at work all week,... and was just getting home to find things going on that he didn't like.
I had to go and say something cocky as I was watching her get bitched out,... and he turned around and said "you want some of this",... and I said "yeah",.... and he came right over where we stood there and stared each other out.
I had no reason to make the first move and was waiting for him to make it. He was cool and backed off acting like "I'm not his problem,.. and he was tired",... as he turned and said to the girl "get my truck home" and jumped in his truck and took off.
One of the requirements to get Superman like abilities from God if it was possible could possibly be,.. "you've got to be the type of person that don't cause fights"...
One night while I was watching American Idol seeing Ryan Seacrest telling Simon that he's ready to fight him anytime,... he reminded me of Me when he was doing that.
When it comes to giving a human the ability to fly like Superman does,... I think I "know" of one way that it's possible,... "It's for God to actually pick you up and fly you around".
I don't believe that it's possible with the Jealous God here though...
I remembered a pretty bad accident that me and about 4 other friends got into back in my High School days. Me and my friends were driving to the Beach. I was in the back seat with a couple other guys,... none of us had seat belts on. All the passengers fell asleep,.. and then the driver fell asleep too.
It was as if I was still sleeping and everything was moving in slow motion,.. I could hear the car spinning on the freeway and bouncing off of the center divider. When the car finally stopped,.. we all woke up and every body was fine and it was only the car that was completely wrecked.
Today I got the impression that our God was able to use Me to slow that car down and keep us all safe. It was a time when I didn't have the jealous God in me. So what he could do was "use my body from inside me to slow that car down to the point where we were all safe".
If he/she did I never knew it at the time. I didn't feel a thing. But we did all wake up when that car stopped as if it was no problem. Like we didn't get tossed around at all.
I think I heard that Jesus Christ walked on water.
And I do believe that it is possible. I think that he would of had to of been in the state of being where the jealous God was not in him at all. In his earlier years of life. And it's just like I wrote with God giving the ability to fly,... I think that God would of held him up above the water and moved him across it as Jesus walked. Or,... God just picked him up just enough to where he was feeling so light in weight,.. that he could actually walk on the top of water.
I've seen bugs that can do it now days,.. so that one sounds possible to me.
It's like I can see where that Adam & Eve story came from. Quite possibly from Jesus Christ fasting which made it look like maybe we weren't supposed to be eating anything here.
But that's not true. We all have the ability to eat,... our bodies are actually made to where it's possible for us to eat.
And I think that it's possible that those Apples were created exactly for "eating".
If this fasting didn't put such a draw on my body and make me so dry mouthed that I can hardly talk anymore,.... if it was like it was in my trial run of fasting back when I was in my 20's when it didn't put a draw on my body at all,.. I'd start fasting now and just go to work and do things as usual as I'm fasting.
But through my experience with it,... I've got to plan on maybe not doing much at all while fasting.
Back when I did that 53 day fast I thought about going out and doing things at first,... but it was like I just never was up for doing much of anything. Mentally and Physically.
There's a couple movies that may be out now that look like good ones to me. IronMan and that super hero one that Will Smith is in. I don't know what it's called yet,... But I've been thinking that I'm just going to wait till I'm fasting to see all the movies that I've been missing.
Every time I've fasted (except for that trial run of fasting) I've ended up doing a lot of laying around.
Today I went over to my major whole house remodel project and got paid,... then I came home and wrote out all that stuff above in my dailies. And I made some calls about work,.. fixed a nice dinner for the cats and then went over to Baja Fresh and got me a Bean and Cheese burrito.
Oh,.. and I stopped at Stater Brothers on the way over to Baja Fresh. Mariah Carey's new husband sure looks like a great guy in his picture on the cover of People magazine. Looks like she might of picked a good guy there.
And now I'm sitting here getting ready to watch American Idol when it comes on.
And that will probably be about it for my day today.
I don't know that I learned anything new today that I haven't already mentioned.

Monday, May 12, 2008
I remembered last night another thing that has been like a wrong for me my whole life.
"fighting".
Fighting for me was Ok only when it was like I had to.
I got in one fight when I was a little kid,.. I jumped into a fight to help my friend and God took control of my whole body through the fight. I couldn't move as I was fighting to fight from inside myself. God made all the moves for me making it look like I was doing just as well as the other kid and I got frustrated of trying to fight and ended up crying in the end.
I didn't feel a thing when the kid was hitting me,... and I can just imagine how the kid that I was fighting probably didn't feel a thing either.
It's possible that the kid may remember that fight from around my Second grade of schooling,.. because it may of been the strangest fight he ever got into.
Like my punches came in quick but landed like my fists were made of marshmallows.
And now I remember one more fight that I got into back when I was in my High School years.
It happened out in my parents front yard. A good friend of mine from the neighborhood here,.. a friend that I hung out with,... all of a sudden he came over and was acting like he wanted to fight.
I don't even know what about,... but next thing ya know I'm having to fight him.
God didn't take control of me this time,... and what I ended up doing was,... I got him in a head lock and squeezed tight,... I didn't want to let him go,... because he was going to keep trying to fight me. So I held on tight and he had to give up complaining that he couldn't breath.
So I let him go and the fight was over. And I never did find out what the fight was about. And were still friends to this day.
But the reason that I'm bringing up fighting here today is that,... I think that our God may of decided to choose a time to have a Second Coming partly based on whether or not the Second Coming was going to have to go to War or not.
"I didn't have to go to War".
I set myself up for a possible fight back when I first met Mariah Carey on her Thanksgiving Cooking TV shows that she did.
I noticed that she had a guy there that liked her and that she knew it too. But I just barged in there as if it didn't matter if she all ready had a guy.
Later I realized that I could of come across as cool if I would of stepped aside and said something like,... "It looks like you've already got a boyfriend there Mariah".
Then walked away from it all (so to speak) and let them be.
But I didn't and now I may have to deal with that guy someday due to that.
What I thought that I'd do if I had to deal with him about it today,... I'd apologize for it,... and tell him I didn't mean to barge in there that way.
And then if he still wants to fight about it,... I'll have to deal with that too.
It was such a big deal kind of a match up for me. I had the impression that they were not boyfriend and girlfriend at the time. I was getting help from God to be there.
I wouldn't even of been talking to Mariah Carey in that way if it wasn't for our God helping to set us up.
And as it's coming to mind here,... there's a way here that I see that I am different than some other guys... A lot of guys will blame or put some of the blame on the other guy if their girlfriend cheats. But I'm a blame my girlfriend kind of guy.
The guy is just being a guy,.. it's my girlfriend that decided to be with him.
To me,.. it can be understandable if say,.. my friend finds my girl friend to be very attractive and one day decides to make a move on her... Like,... it's understandable that he finds her attractive,... it's what she does when he makes that move that matters.
If she goes for it,.. then she's probably not so much the girl for me.
If she don't,... then just maybe she is the girl for me. As if she don't want to screw anything up between me and her.
And if a girl was thinking like that about me,... she would be coming across like my kind of girl.
I'm a one girl kind of a guy,... just like the Earth appears to be with it's one Moon.
I've heard that some Planets have lots of Moons. Which could make it seem like it's Ok to have more than one girl friend.
Or,.. more than one boyfriend,... or more than one wife or more than one husband....
And personally speaking,... I don't see why not,... and that it's best if all the people in the relationship know about each other and are in agreement with it.
Today I went out to my major whole house remodeling project and cleaned up and picked things up,... brought my tools home. The majority of the work is finished there.
Then I came home and made up an Invoice for the job,... unloaded my van,.. fixed a nice dinner for the cats and also fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
It's not even 5:00pm here yet,.. and I'm thinking that I'm going to go to bed nice and early tonight.
And that's about it for my day today. Don't remember learning anything new today.

I've got one little part wrong in this part that I wrote yesterday due to the way I worded it... It's the "And though he acted like he didn't like it" part...
This fasting job that I have,... it's a job that if completed will give this world back it's God. It's for every living being on this planet. Not at all just for me. (And though he acted like he didn't like it),... the cop that hand cuffed me to take me to the hospital for fasting that last time I was taken there,... he was showed that God can take control of him too as his hands changed from hand cuffing me to putting my hands back down to my sides, then pulling both my arms up to his face and making a cross out of my arms.
He was showed that God is in him too.
Actually,... the cop had kind of a pissed off like attitude as he went to hand cuff me, then after God made a cross out of my arms using his arms to do it,.. I went to pull my arms back down myself as they were up there in front of his face and crossed,.. and the cops attitude changed to a nice tone,... as he said,.... "don't" nicely....
What it was that the cop acted like he didn't like to me was,... "it looked like he didn't necessarily like learning that information about Me".
Yeah well,... one way I've looked at this whole situation is,... I look at it as if I'm a God up there in Space and I'm looking down on this planet,... and I can see what this Jealous God has done along with all the problems that it is causing.
And I can see how to fix it,... what it takes to fix the problem,... and that I may be able to fix it myself.
So as a God I would go down there and just fix the problem,... kind of like in the movie the Witches Of Eastwick if I'm remembering it right,... fixing the problem is not something that's going to make them Queens of World,... it's just a big relief to have fixed the problem.
So here I am as a Human named Rick Harrington. I really am a human and I have a real Mother and Father here on Earth that are really my own parents. And I have a younger brother too.
But I am also like the God looking down on the Earth and seeing what the problem is and that I may be able to fix it,... and that I know what it takes to fix it.
But as a God it may be a little different coming in here and just fixing the problem,... because a God may not have to deal with what the humans are thinking and doing. The God wouldn't have any caring parents here that don't understand what he's doing,.. or just don't want to believe,... or are just worried that he's going to die through the process of what he's doing.
As a human with real parents and also caring friends,... well,... it's like if I could of just went somewhere where there was no people to do this job,... nobody would of been bothered by what I'm doing,... because they wouldn't even know about what's going on.
But it hasn't worked out that way and I've been having to go through the process of dealing with what others are thinking about what I'm doing.
I'd have to say though that through most my whole life it has seemed like people kind of wondered about me. As if they notice that I'm a little different. And maybe it's this way that stood out the most back when I was a little kid,... "it's like he doesn't need".....
And here I am at age 45 letting everybody know that there really is a reason to why it seemed that way,... and it's like what they have been thinking about me back then is now becoming reality.
As if,... people thought that I was Jesus Christ like way back when I was a little kid. And here I am telling everybody why it was that I seemed Jesus Christ like.
It's true. I am Jesus Christ like for a reason. And I've been having to fast just like I heard that he did.
And I'm going to be doing it some more too. No matter what everybody is thinking,.. I'm just going to be fasting some more.
Because,... I see that I have a job to do here,... and that I can do it.
The problem here on Earth is,... "there is a Jealous God meshed in with the creator of this world". "A jealous God that is meshed in with the real God of this world and has taken control of giving life to every living being on this planet".
It's in the oxygen,... the God of this world's oxygen meshed together with a jealous God's oxygen.
It causes "want, jealousy and need" among other things like this one,... "they're actually killing and eating each other"....
If you can imagine creating say a family of humans,... everything's cool,.. your getting to know and like them,... you actually care about them. And then one day they start killing and eating each other.
But it's not really their fault,... they now "need",.. which is caused by a jealous God.
The jealous God is "jealous", which is caused by his "want",.. which causes "need".
The key for me to do this fasting job,... or for anybody that was to do this fasting job is to,.. "not be like the jealous God in those 3 ways". Don't want for,.. don't be needy,... don't be jealous,... because if I be any of those 3 ways,... the jealous God can take back full control of giving life to me.
And then I've got to fast to the point where I would die,... but by not being like the jealous God,.. our God can take control of giving me life again so that I don't die, which causes the jealous God to take back control of giving me life but his jealousy causes him to have to try to be like our God who doesn't need at all.
It puts me in a state where I seem more like I was in my first 23 years of life. Like I'm that kid that don't seem to need again. The difference in being fully controlled by the jealous God to putting him into a trying to be like our God state is like I don't need again.
But,.. I have noticed by that 53 day fast that I went on a while back that even though I've got the jealous God in a trying to be like our God state,... it still causes a draw on my body as if I'm needing.
As if the jealous God can't help but need whether he's trying to not be needy or not.
Which means that he may be able to get some of what he needs as if he can't help it.
And that is why I have a fasting job to do in life now.
Because in order to get rid of something that needs,.. the best way to do it,.. is to not give it any of what it needs...
I think,.. a cool little story about Jesus Christ,..
There was once a guy named Jesus Christ that was saying a lot of the same type things that I've been writing about.
One day it was decided to put Jesus Christ and 2 other guys up on crosses.
It's a test,... to see who can fast the longest. Who can go without everything for the longest period of time.
The 2 other guys died making Jesus Christ look like the special one. All the things that Jesus Christ was talking about God,... but his supposed God wouldn't help the 2 other guys.
And then it was decided to nail Jesus Christ to the cross causing him to bleed,.. which caused him to die too...
See,.. if they would of just let Jesus Christ hang there without causing him to bleed and watch to see how long he could go without,.. he may of fixed the world back then.
But it was understandable that they caused him to bleed because they couldn't trust the God that he was talking about.
And now here I am where it seems like I may have to deal with the same kind of stuff. Where I might have to deal with the believability by humans,... and whether or not they can trust what I'm saying.
Well,... if this was a job that could be done by a God,... the innocents here on Earth would not of needed to know any of this stuff.
But,... I've heard that this is the only way to fix this problem here on Earth other than the one where the jealous God just leaves on his own.
So,... here we are with a Second Coming of what Jesus Christ was doing.
It took a long time for a Second Coming to come around. And I think that our God chose this time due to thinking that it may be a good time now for such a thing.
I think that he/she had to choose a time based on how the humans are thinking and living.
A time based on whether he/she thinks the humans will be able to believe it and allow it.
And whether you can believe it or not,... I can't help but have this fasting stuff be a part of my life.
It has helped me to be like the real me.
It was like I couldn't even think correctly anymore when I was having to live my life completely controlled by the jealous God.
Now days I can think and see things more clearly and correctly. But my thinking is slow. Slow to where it would be hard to actually speak all this stuff that I've been writing.
I mean,... it can take me 10 minutes just to get 2 sentences put together sometimes. It's like I can see when my thoughts are coming to me wrong,.. like I know what's right and what's wrong,... so when I'm getting thoughts that are coming to me that don't seem quite right,.. I have to change them.
So if I was speaking those thoughts that are not coming to me right,.. I would have to deal with having to re-say what ever it was that I was saying in a more correct manor.
Putting all this stuff in writing gives me plenty of time to make sure I'm getting things correct to my liking.
Today I did a load of laundry,.. I cooked a crock pot of food for the cats,.. I mowed the lawn and I fixed dinner for the cats... Oh,... and also fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Which reminds me of one thing special that Baja Fresh does with there take out burritos. They wrap them in paper and foil which causes them to stay hot a lot longer. I remember bringing one of their burritos home once and opening it up like an hour later and it was still quite warm.
If I had my own fast food restaurant now,... I would be wrapping my take out food that way too.
I didn't think I'd like their brown colored salsa there due to the color of it,... never really seen a salsa that color before. But after trying it I liked it a lot.
And that's about it for my day today,... I'm gonna hit the hay....

A little story that came to mind last night.
There was once a guy named Jesus Christ that was saying a lot of the same type things that I've been writing about.
One day it was decided to put Jesus Christ and 2 other guys up on crosses.
It's a test,... to see who can fast the longest. Who can go without everything for the longest period of time.
The 2 other guys died making Jesus Christ look like the special one. All the things that Jesus Christ was talking about God,... but his supposed God wouldn't help the 2 other guys.
And then it was decided to nail Jesus Christ to the cross causing him to bleed,.. which caused him to die too...
It's just something that came to my mind last night,... can't say if it's true or not,... but I see the possibilities of it.
Now lately,.. I've been calling myself the Second Coming in some of my writing. I started to change that one day,... and my brain gave me the impression that it's Ok to leave it like I'm writing it,... as if,.. "it's Ok,.. that is what you are"...
Second coming of a person that has to fast for long periods of time.
And I think I'll take this time to say that I'm not looking to be singled out in any way. I'm not looking to be the special one. I am just a human like other humans.
If it would of been possible for me to do this fasting job along with nobody ever knowing who it was that actually did it... As if I fixed the world,.. freed it from need,.. I'm ok with nobody ever knowing that it was me.
It's not something that I need any praise for.
Last time I was put in the hospital for fasting it was the time that I was fasting for about 53 days.
I don't even remember telling anybody there how long I was fasting for. But one day a Doctor or whatever he was sat me down to ask me a bunch of questions. He asked me that "which is better,.. a bird in the hand,.. or 2 birds in the bush question",.. which I stumbled on thinking that his answer may be "a bird in the hand" because it's better to have than it is not to have",... but my answer is,... "I'm just going to let the bird in my hand go free",... so I'm not sure how to answer that and don't think I was ever able to while I was there.
Anyway,.. he was a person that fasts,.. quite possibly religiously. And he goes,... "the longest I can fast for is about 2 weeks and said that it's because he gets very weak.
I don't remember saying anything to him about that as he looked back at me as if he was wondering why I can fast for so long.
Like if I remember right,... I was kind of thinking of how I don't remember ever telling anybody how long I fasted for. And I think I just shrugged it off as he went on to asking me all his questions.
But I can see how if I would of boasted about how I can fast for much longer that it would of singled me out in a way as if I can do better than he can.
And now I can see by the little story that came to mind up above that it was wrong for me to write in my original couch writing that other people may be able to fast like I can.
And I can just imagine Jesus Christ telling the other guys something like,... "God can help you too,.. all you have to do is not want for anything"... Because that's about what I would of told the other 2 guys.
I would use the words,.. "may be able to" though,... because "I don't know if God can help them too". I don't "Know".
Let me see here,... what happens is,... by not wanting for anything while fasting,.. our God can take control of giving life to you when you die from need,... but you don't die because God helped you to not die. Which causes the jealous God to take back control of giving you life out of jealousy making him have to try to be more like our God who don't need at all. And then,.. if you want for something the jealous God can take back full control of giving life to you which puts you in a state where you can die again... Don't want for anything,... God will be able to help you live again. Want for something,.. your back to being in a state where you can die again.
And the way I see it,... if you keep wanting for something while fasting as your at that point where need is going to cause you to die,... especially if it's like a "constant want",.... your going to die.
The thing that makes me a good person for being the one to do this fasting job is that,... I have been prepped my whole life for doing this job. My whole life has been a life where "wanting for things was like a wrong".
My Life with girls...
Over the span of my whole lifetime,... I have had a few girls that actually liked me... Just a few girls that came across like they were interested in me because they liked me.
And the problem that I had with that was,... I didn't like those girls in the same way that they appeared to like me.
I remember being with one girl one night that liked me. I knew that she liked me from the first time she jumped in the back seat of my car acting all friendly towards me and we ended up kissing and removing her shirt too.
But it was the way she acted towards me as if she genuinely really likes me that stood out most to me. It wasn't like she was wanting me in any way,... she acted like she really really liked me.
It was also like she was cool with,.. "either I like her or I don't",... and we were able to be friends too after that night in the back seat of my car.
So maybe it was a year later that she's having a party like get together down at her parents beach house and I ended up being there. At the end of the night I ended up going to bed in her bed knowing that she was going to come in and join me.
I liked this girl,... I just didn't see her as a girl for me... I didn't like her in the right way. So because of that along with knowing how she liked me,... I didn't want to hurt her in any way. And when she finally joined me in bed that night I just latched on to her and held her all night and didn't try to do anything more. I thought by doing any more than that it would of led her on.
But what I'm getting at here is that,... all those times when I was all upset about why don't girls seem to like me,... I realize now that I am just like those girls that didn't like me or were just flat out uninterested in me.
Lot's of girls are uninterested in me,... and I am also uninterested in lots of girls.
I realize that I should be Ok with those girls not being interested in me,... I'm uninterested in lots of girls too.
Like,.. it's all about finding that mutual love connection. I like her in the right ways,.. and she likes me in the right ways.
And through my little bit of experience with the few mutual love connections that I've had,.... just the fact that you both like each other in the right ways don't mean that it's going to work out as a love connection,... because you can find out that it's like your not compatible...
And that is why I think finding someone that matches up ideally with you can be important.
A mutual love connection where you both really like each other in the right ways along with being like your perfectly compatible with each other as well.
I think what their doing on some of those web sites where they are trying to set people up or allow people to get set up through compatibility type matching is a good thing.
Well,.. this is Saturday morning,.. 8:00am as I just wrote out all that "My life with girls" part... And I'm sitting here thinking about how the way I titled that makes it sound like I should be writing everything down about my life with girls...
It's like I should change the title,... "my life,.... no,... "part of my life with girls",... "A part of my life with girls"...
That sounds better... Sometimes just getting everything correctly worded to my liking can take me a bunch of extra time...
"Looks" can seem like such an important thing when it comes to being able to have a girl like you,... or a guy like you for the ones that like guys. As if it's better to be good looking than it is to be not good looking.... It makes me think of the movie "Mask".
I believe that it would be possible to make everybody good looking,.. "good looking to their liking" if there was a God here that could help everybody to be that way.
I believe that because it happened to me in my 23rd year of life when I was showed what life is really supposed to be like.
Another movie that reminds me of my life is "The Witches of Eastwick". It's the part of the movie where they have got to find a way and get rid of their Devil guy.
This fasting job that I have,... it's a job that if completed will give this world back it's God. It's for every living being on this planet. Not at all just for me. And though he acted like he didn't like it,... the cop that hand cuffed me to take me to the hospital for fasting that last time I was taken there,... he was showed that God can take control of him too as his hands changed from hand cuffing me to putting my hands back down to my sides, then pulling both my arms up to his face and making a cross out of my arms.
He was showed that God is in him too.
And I think the reason that our God isn't going around and just showing everybody,... if he/she isn't,... is because there is a jealous God here too that can't be trusted...
Our God doing something here causes the jealous God to do something too out of jealousy.
Today I did a couple loads of laundry, went grocery shopping, fixed dinner for the cats and made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And that's about it for my day today. I'm about ready for bed here at about a quarter til 9:00pm.

My Life...
I wrote sometime a while back that my life is a bit like an episode of the Twilight Zone.
I'm going to explain it a little better this time.
I'm talking about the Twilight Zone episode where there is a girl that is lying in like a hospital bed, and her face is all bandaged up. You can't see her face at all.... They don't show all the Hospital personnel's faces,.. but you can see what looks like people in a hospital.
The day comes when it's time to remove the girls bandages from her face. They slowly remove the bandages and show the girls face and she looks like a normal girl. You can't see any problems with her,.. but when she looks in the mirror she screams as if they were not able to fix her...
And then they show all the hospital personnel's faces and every one of them have faces that resemble a pigs face...
Now in the episode where I'm the one lying in the hospital bed all bandaged up,... when they remove the bandages,... you can also see that it looks like I'm a normal person,... you can't see what my problem is,... but I look in the mirror and scream.
The difference in my episode is that when they show all the hospital personnel's faces, they all look like normal people too,... and you can't see at all what I'm screaming about.
But I am different than other people... And what it is that makes me different has to do with "Want, Jealousy and Need".
My problem is in my mind... It's a problem for me if I want for anything. It's wrong for me to be jealous. And I've lived life without need,.. and am now living a life with need in me,.. but can see what it takes to get rid of that need.
It's a problem that our God,.. the creator of this world gave to me. I don't blame the jealous God for giving me this problem.
But I have nothing against our creator of this world for giving me this problem. I can see what's going on and what my life has been about.
I can see that I have a fasting job to do,... and I'm Ok with doing it. I have no problems with doing it other than the ones other people may give me.
I have nothing against our God for giving me this problem and having to live my life the way I have. Actually,.. I like the ways I am,.. and what has caused me to be the ways I am has a lot to do with how I've had to live my life due to "want, jealousy and need".
The only thing is that,.. it don't make for much of a life being what I am. Being the Second Coming guy. Having to live my life being a little different. Having to live with the problem life that I am now living in.
In where I can see that in order to be rid of my problem life and to be able to live a life like everybody else can,... I have to not want for anything,... I have to not be jealous,... because if I do,... the jealous God takes back control of giving life to me and I have to fast to the point where I would die,.. but I don't die because our God takes back control of giving me life causing the jealous God to take back control out of jealousy causing him to have to be like our God, who don't need at all which causes the jealous God to have to try and not need.
But the jealous God's need is real and it causes my body to act like it needs. So he can't help but need whether he's trying to be not needy or not.
Which has led me to the thoughts that,.. in order to get rid of something that needs,... the best way to do it is to not give it any of what it needs.
It's led me to realize that I have a fasting job to do in life.
It's not a good life fasting. But I can do it. I think that I can fast for a long long time. I could probably set my mind to where I could just fast for as long as it takes to get rid of the jealous God that is in my mind. Which should cause a chain reaction that gets rid of the jealous God from every bodies mind because there is no way that the rest of the beings on this world are going to be able to fast too.
I mean,.. you can't even tell a bug or an animal anything about fasting along with them being able to understand you.
The only problem with me being able to fast for a long long time though is,... I may have to stop my fasting and go back to work and save some more money so that I can pay my bills while I'm fasting. And of course other people coming around and trying to stop me from fasting.
Now,.. our God trying to help set me up with a girl was a very cool thing to do for a guy like me. Being what I am has caused me to not be able to have much of a life with a girl,... and I really use to like the thought of that a lot. I've always liked especially girls. My whole life.
One thing though about trying to set me up with a girl now days,... I am and have been kind of like Christopher Reeve in his later years of life.... I am a guy that has a problem. And setting me up with a girl now days is kind of like asking a girl to devote her life to a guy that has a problem.
It's understandable to me that any girl would prefer to be with someone that can be more like they can. Someone that don't have a problem.
One day if I ever don't have a problem,... a girl may be able to see me in the right ways. Because I will be able to be a lot like they can. I won't have to "not ask questions". I'll be able to ask anything I like. I'll be able to communicate just like everybody else can and have full eye contact. Even the kind that a guy and a girl can have.
There's no way that you can look into a girls eyes with a mutual want to kiss each other kind of look when it's like a wrong for you to want for things.
I've had a problem with that my whole life causing me to feel like the only way I can kiss a girl was to either ask her or just dive in and maybe she'll go along with it.
Except for my 23rd year of life where I lived a life of how life is supposed to be. I was showed what life is really supposed to be like and was able to look into a girls eyes and communicate just like everybody could.
I was able to have the greatest eye contact I ever had. But I still didn't know how to go about getting that first kiss from a girl.
I remember the girl I kind of dated in my 23rd year of life,.. the way I got around to getting a first kiss from her was,.. "I asked her if I could kiss her"... "Can I kiss You?"
And that's something that I can't even do now days. It's a problem for me to ask any questions now because it causes the jealous God to take back full control of giving life to me. And then I've got to fast to the point where I would die,.. but I don't because our God takes back control of giving me life, which causes the jealous God to take back control out of jealousy, which causes him to have to be like our God, who don't need.
Another thing that makes me different than most other people is that I don't care to smile with my mouth at all... It's a problem that actually started with a time when me and my best friend Tom Martin decided to go over to a girls house where there was a girl I liked and a girl that he kind of liked. We were in about 4th or 5th grade.
The girl I liked,.. her name was Genie Morales,... and I wanted to let her know somehow that I liked her. And what happened was,... I looked across the room at her,.. looked into her eyes,... and this hideous feeling smile came across my face that caused me to feel like hiding my face. And then my best friend start cracking up,.. laughing at me,.. pounding his hand on the pool table laughing loudly at me. It cracked him up big time. And I ran out of the house and ran home all upset and didn't ever want to make that face again...
It was a want smile. And here at my age of 45,... I don't remember ever making that hideous feeling facial expression ever again.
And then of course when my permanent teeth first came into my mouth,... it was like it ruined my looks. I went from having teeth that I was Ok with to teeth I don't like at all anymore. Teeth that I don't care to be showing. Exactly like,... the less of my teeth that I show,.. the better I can look.
When your a little kid,.. and people are asking you to smile for a camera or something,.. you can feel like you have to do it. But as I got older I completely got rid of the smiling with my mouth facial expression.
I've been without it for so long that even if I had teeth that I was Ok with,.. I think that I will still choose to be me. Which is a person that don't care to smile with his mouth.
I've thought that with good looking teeth what I may be able to do though is,... I could probably make that smiling with my mouth facial expression in a video or in a movie or something.
I'm not interested in getting my teeth fixed now though because I was told that our God here will be able fix them and what I can do about them is,.. I can just continue to be how I have always been and try to show as little of them as I can. I've been doing it almost my whole life.
And what the requirement is for our God to be able to fix my teeth,... is that I get rid of the jealous God from my mind.
I could care less about my teeth,... wanting to have them fixed is a wrong for me.
What works for me is,... I have a fasting job to do in life,... it's a fasting job that I'm doing for the creator of this world and all living beings on this planet.
It's a job where,.. if everything gets completed,... if I am able to finish the job and get rid of the jealous God in my mind and from everybody else's,...
It will give this planet a God that will be able to fix every bodies teeth if they need fixing.
Like it could happen in your sleep,.. you wake up the next morning and look in the mirror and you notice that your teeth are getting fixed.
I think that it's a job that will get rid of the biggest problem in the whole universe.
Kind of like this,... this is the first and only place where life forms,.. living beings actually die. And of course you can add in,.. live life with problems,... pains,.. suffering,.. .. .. .. . . and then die.
Today I spent about 3 hours writing out all the above for my daily today,.... and then I went to work at my major whole house remodel project just touch up painting mostly.
Now that I'm home I've finished my work notes and,... .. .. maybe I'll go have a shower here in a little bit,.. then I've gotta fix dinner for the cats and I'll probably go to bed shortly after that.
They had a cooking demonstration event going on last night over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana. It was pretty cool. I like their style there. And I like their restaurant too.
Saw American Idol on Wednesday night. Thought it was another great show. I really like how they bring back people that have been in their competition in past shows and let them perform. And it looks to me like,.. it don't matter all that much who wins or loses the competition,.. because they're all getting the opportunity to be singers by being on that show.
"I like that"...

Man,... I've been up all night long 2 nights in a row now.
"God situations",... "girls",... "the way my life has been"...
And I'll tell ya,... I'm sure not looking forward to people coming around and bothering me while I'm fasting...
I don't know if they will,... but I can't trust that they wont either....
I had a cool family that I lived with for a little while back when I first moved out of my parents house. The woman of the house was cool like me. I only knew her for a couple days and me and her were sitting on the couch one evening talking and watching TV and she goes: "Hey,.. you wanna go get a fifth of Vodka and get snockered?",... I liked her right away and said "sure"...
Me and her got to know and like each other over time and one day she told me she has this friend of hers at her work that she would like to set me up with. She talked it up as if this girl is going to really like me.
So on the night that the girl came over to meet me,... she walked through the door, looked right at me,... and turned away with a don't like me sort of look. She didn't like me from first sight. And she ended up preferring to be with the heavy set guy that was there that night.
She wouldn't even talk to me when I tried to talk to her. She just kind of sneared at me with a very uninterested look on her face.
The way that girl disliked me from first sight hit me pretty hard that night. That was one of those nights when I ended up in my bed crying about "why don't girls like Me".
And it was a few years later when I was lying in bed again thinking about "why don't girls like me" when Jealousy, Want and Need came to mind and I realized that "I'm Jesus Christ Like". Which eventually led to my very first trial run of fasting.
I'm sorry that I'm not a more goody goody type person like it seems like the majority of people may of preferred for a Second Coming type person.
I'm a cool about most all things type person. I'm cool with a lot of things that a lot of other people aren't cool with. I like a more cool society as opposed to a strict one. I don't really like "strict",... I like "cool".
And I like the way I am. I like that way about me and don't care to ever change it.
And again,... if my ways about me are going to be a problem for the world,... I don't plan on being a problem,... if I have to I will move myself to a place where there are no people as I can afford to,... and if that don't work,... I believe that it may be possible for me to live up in the Stars and Planets just like Jesus Christ is thought to be if I have to...
I can't say that I'll be out there showing myself so everybody can see me though,... I've been thinking that if I end up out there,.. I'm going to go away somewhere and just black out.
It's typical for me to end up with just another uninterested girl again here in my God related match up,... but one thing I got out of it though,.. I now know a lot more about what my type of girl is like. And I think it's important for me to end up with a girl that is my type if I was to ever end up with one.
Because I've been with the girls that don't match up with me,... and it just don't work out with them.
I think I've wrote this before,... and now I'm going to write it again here,... "it's one thing to have to be a nothing of a guy,... and it's another to be getting treated like a nothing of a guy by girls".
And I've had enough of that kind of treatment here during my problem life years.
I've always thought that I'm actually a great guy,... to especially a girl,... and now days I think,... "I use to be anyway"....
Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project preparing and priming interior windows and stairway risers and stringers...
Now that I'm home I'm just going to do my usual chores then go out to dinner and I think I'll go to bed early tonight.
And that's it for my day today...
I don't remember learning anything new today.
After proof reading this daily I think I'll add here,.. I don't cry anymore about "why don't girls like me". I think that first time I mentioned crying up above was the last time I ever cried about it.
The reason I've been awake for the past few nights is because I have a lot of thoughts to get squared up concerning my God related match up. I've been awake thinking,.. like I've had gobs of thoughts to deal with concerning this situation and can't help but have it on my mind.

Well it looks like my God related match up girl found someone and decided to get married.
Yeah,... being what I am,... for me anyway,... it's never really been much of a life where I get the girls.
I've never been much of a ladies Man. And now days I think of myself as not even good enough for any girl.
Not because girls have no interest towards me,... but because I'm in problem life and I've deteriorated over the years too. Because of the way life is for me.
She and her new husband look happy together. I see it as a good thing. And it's understandable to me that she decided to go with a different guy...
It's understandable to me that she wasn't interested in Me...
There's a picture of me and my ex-girlfriend in my Photo Gallery,... I purposely didn't write something there due to my God related match up girl situation. . . I'm going to go ahead and write what I was going to say there now. So there's going to be some new writing along with the picture of me and my ex-girl friend in my photo gallery tonight.
Well,.. I think I've had enough of attempting to get set up with girls during my problem life years.
Think I'm a guy that may never be with a girl friend ever again,... but that's Ok,... I know what my main job in life is,... so I'm going to forget about girls for me,... and put my thoughts towards that instead...
Today for work I worked at my major whole house remodel project again preparing interior trim for painting and touch up painting exterior siding.
Now that I'm home I'm about ready to go and have a shower,... then I'll do my usual chores and I may watch American Idol later unless I decide to go to bed first. Which if I do,.. I'll record it and watch it tomorrow.
I watched it last night,.. thought it was another good show.
And that's about it for my day today.
Today I learned that my God related match up girl got married,... and now I've got a lot of thoughts and things to get rid of concerning her...
Not even God was able to set me up with a girl... I didn't turn out to be "definitely worth the wait"...
Well,.. I think he/she may be able to if I was ever good enough for such a thing.
And I think I'll share what I told the creator of this world on this day,...
"it is really not such a cool thing being me today".

A couple days ago one of the things I wrote about my fasting was,... "and it wasn't because it looked like I was about ready to die".
I probably should of wrote that part this way,... "And it wasn't like I seemed like I was about ready to die",.... because I can look quite run down when I'm fasting. Need has got me all sucked in and down to the skin and bones look.
My Mother told me during one of my fasts,... "your God is going to kill you"...
I don't remember what I said to her about that at this time,... but I do have something to say about it today...
"I have no worries what so ever that I will die from fasting"....
It's been a long ordeal this whole fasting portion of my life,... the past 20 years...
Having to deal with caring people and others that don't understand as to why along with me not thinking that I can really say much along with it coming across as believable. Then add in a God that really can't do much to help me in being believable too.
But I know that he/she has been able to help a little bit towards it,.. and just maybe it's getting to the point where it's become believable enough.
I've heard lately that there are a lot of people that have a reason to believe. As if there are some people out there that know that it's real.
One thought I've had is,... if there had to be a "Third Coming",... and the guy was saying all the same type of things that I'm saying along with having to fast,... people might be believing even more so in that "Coming".
I've been thinking that I'm going to be able to start my next fasting job sometime next year. Probably after I go and get my tax's done,... because that way I won't be having to go in there all dried out and sucked in from need... It can be not so easy to speak with that type of dry mouth.
There was a good interview on KLOS radio this morning with Daryl Hall from the Hall & Oates band.
Back in my original couch writing when I wrote about who I think are the best singers,... if I would of thought of him at that time,.. I would of added Daryl Hall to that list also.
Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project touch up painting exterior siding. And it's actually not wood siding like I wrote yesterday,.. it's that cement board type siding that is made to look like wood.
Now that I'm home I've finished my work notes along with what I'm writing in my dailies here for today,... and now I'm about ready to go in and have a shower.
Then I'll fix a nice dinner for the cats,... a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream for myself and I'm going to watch American Idol tonight.
This Habanero salsa that I found gives my burritos a hint of what a Naugles burrito use to taste like. I don't remember getting Naugles burritos with sour cream though,.. what I always use to order there was a bean and cheese burrito with extra cheese and a large french fry.
I think they called it a "Red Burrito". I wasn't interested in trying "Green Burritos" back then. Seems like I was always a bit leery of any green foods.
I've tried a green salsa now days though,.. and have actually liked at least one of them that I've tried.
Didn't like Guacamole at all though the first and only time that I've tasted it.
And that's about it for my day today,.. I don't really remember learning anything new today worth mentioning....

I thought I'd write a little bit about my fasting for starters today...
Here are some good reasons why being taken to the hospital for fasting has not been a cool thing for me.
People come around to where I'm in my own home minding my own business,.. and then they take me out of my comfortable setting where I have freedom to do as I like and put me in a place where it's not so comfortable for me anymore...
It's a bit like being in jail.
They take my freedom away and put me in a place where It's not so comfortable anymore,.. and it's up to the Doctors there whether or not their going to let me out of there.
Fasting is not a good life for me... It's a life where it would be best if I could be as comfortable as I can get.
It's not going to be so comfortable if I have to do it while I'm in a hospital. And being bossed around and told what to do by hospital people sure don't sound cool to me either.
Thee animals, bugs, fish, reptiles, birds and mammals will all leave me alone and let me fast,... it's the people that I've gotta watch out for. It's only the Humans that will come around and bother me about fasting...
The last time I was in the hospital for fasting there was one Nurse there that thought I didn't take a shower one evening,.. and no matter how many times I told her that I did take a shower,... she wouldn't believe me.
So it was like,... "you didn't take a shower",... Yes I did,... "No you didn't".... .. .. .. .. .. .. .
Then a little while later,... "You didn't take a shower",... yes I did,... I did take a shower.... "No you didn't"....
Then a little while later with a bunch of Nurses there,... "He didn't take a shower",... I did to,... I did take a shower,... as she turned away in disbelief.
Today for work I touch up painted exterior wood siding on my major whole house remodeling project.
Now that I'm home I've had a shower,.. did my work notes and I'm getting ready to go in and fix a nice dinner for the cats.
Then I'll probably fix myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and I'll go to bed sometime after that.
Sure,.. I can see where if someone was reading this stuff everyday they may think I don't have much of a life,.. or a boring life... But you know what,... I don't really care to do much else...
It really hasn't been much of a life being Me.
I'm on a bit of a negative tone right now. Have been ever since I got home today.
I was able to get some experience with a more full type lifestyle in my first 24 years of life though. And I see that as a good thing.
I don't remember learning anything new today as of yet...

I remembered something that happened in the hospital on more than one of my stays when I was taken there against my will for fasting.
They made me take pills.
I don't agree with telling people that they have to take pills.
What I agree with is telling people what the pills are for,.. and then telling them why they should take them and that the option is theirs.
They didn't even tell me what the pills were for.
All I was doing that put me in the hospital was fasting. And I wasn't taken there because I wasn't able get around anymore,.. or because it looked like I was about ready to die.
Some people just decided that I should be in the hospital because I was fasting.
It's been as if it's a crime for me to fast.
I would probably never of fasted if I didn't have this reason to be fasting that I have had.
It is a reason that has to do with God...
I have a fasting job to do for God and this world.
Today I did a little scraping and sanding on the fascia boards of my garage. And I did a couple loads of laundry,.. and also cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats.
Then I went over to Staples and got some clips that I'm going to make into brush holders.
And now I've showered, cooked a nice dinner for the cats and fixed myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And,.. though it's not even 6:00pm here yet,.. I'm thinking that my day is about finished and ready for bed.
Sleeping can be where the better life is for me. And I'd have to say here that it's partly because while I'm sleeping I don't have any problems.
I don't know if I learned anything new today.

Today I had a day off from work.
And what I did today was I made a bunch of steel hangers for my new work van and installed them and I organized things in there a little bit.
Then I went over to Harbor Freight Tools and also Sears and checked some things out. I was looking at tool boxes and smaller boxes also for holding screws and smaller things.
While I was at Sears I realized that I already have a Medium size drawer style tool box in my garage,... so I came home and cleaned it out and used it instead of getting a new one.
And then I went over to Stater Brothers and did a little grocery shopping,.. did a little elastomeric patching on the stucco of my house,.. showered,.. fixed dinner for the cats and also made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Oh,.. and I've got a load of laundry that's about ready for folding too.
And that's going to be about it for my day today.
I don't know if I've learned anything new today or not....

Today I worked on my major whole house remodeling project again painting fascia boards trim and overhangs.
Now that I'm home I've just fixed dinner for the cats,... and I'm getting ready to fix myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,... and then I think I'm just going to go to bed shortly after that.
I've got some negative thoughts that just keep coming to mind whether I keep thinking "I don't want to think about this stuff no more" or not.
And then if it's not negative about one thing,.. it's negative about another.
Oh,.. I heard a good Brian Adams interview on the radio this morning. He was sounding a bit like Me with some of the things he was saying today.
I sang a Brian Adams song and recorded it a few Months ago,.. but I didn't like the way my voice was sounding at that time for one of his songs.

Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project again just painting trim and overhangs.
Now that I'm home,.. I've fed the cats and showered and have already been over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana for dinner. Had a good dinner tonight. Tonight the waiter decided that he already knew what I was going to be having for dinner and ordered it for me before he even came over to my table.
Saw American Idol last night. Thought it was another good show. And there was something that Ryan Seacrest did last night that I really liked and think highly of. What I'm talking about is,.. he called Paula Abdul a part of their American Idol family and said he's been reading rumors about her and then told everybody that the rumors are not true.
I thought that was quite cool.
I'm sitting here right now and having to deal with some rumors or truth's or what ever they are about a girl. About my God related match up girl.
And that's about it for my day,.. think I'm going to go to bed early tonight...

Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project mostly just painting exterior trim and overhangs.
Yesterday while listening to the radio they mentioned Guys in dog collars a couple times, and it gave me the idea to put my "Hey Jack" videos back into my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page.
One of the reasons I haven't put them back is that I'm really not that crazy about the way I'm looking in those videos. Especially the one in make up. The one without make up was shot right after I washed the make up off.
I put the videos in the player as "Hey Jack - my very first song I wrote - in make up 2007" and "without make up 2007".
I saw the American Idol show last night. Another good show I thought. And it was cool to get to know Neil Diamond a little bit in that type of setting.
I don't know if I'll stay up late enough to catch tonight's show,.. but I'll record it if I don't and watch it tomorrow.
And for the rest of my evening,.. I'll just be doing the usual,... cook dinner for the cats, fix myself a snack burrito then go to bed.
I don't recall learning anything new today worth mentioning...

First Comings,..... Second Comings,... and what it takes to become "A Coming". The process that I think it takes to become "A Coming".
First of all I think that our God has to pick "a time" for it to take place. Quite possibly a time when he/she thinks that it will be possible for a Coming to survive.
Once he/she has decided on when,.. then it's time to pick a place where he/she thinks a Coming will be possible. Or,.. the place he/she thinks would be the best for such a thing.
Then our God has to pick a family or a soon to be mother. Quite possibly a family or soon to be mother that he/she thinks will be able to deal with such a child and situation.
Then what I think our God does is,... he/she keeps the jealous God from entering the brain of the child at birth.
I think the jealous God enters every bodies brain upon first breath.
I believe that there is a Jealous God here along with our God. I believe that there are 2 God like beings here because,.. among other things,.. they have both talked to me.
I believe that I lived my life up until I was 24 years old without the jealous God in my brain. Then one night I felt something vibrate into my brain.
I think our God allowed the jealous God to enter my brain after living a life where "wanting for things was like a wrong",.. "and jealousy was a wrong".
And then eventually,... what happened for me was,... as I was living with the jealous God too,... life became something that I didn't like at all anymore. My looks changed and it was like I couldn't be my old self anymore.
And that led to my brain giving me the impression that what I need to do,... "is fast". Go without food and drinks and everything.
Over a period of time of fasting, learning about what's really going on and our God and the jealous God pushing on each other in my brain,... I found that eventually,.. through their pushing,... our God was able to push enough of the jealous God to one side which allowed me to look more like my old self again.
And over a long period of time now,.. I've been able to remember lots of my old memories from my past and have been able to think more like the old me too.
If I screw up and want for something it causes the jealous God to just mesh completely with our God again,... and then I have to fast again to the point where I would die,.. but I don't die because our God takes control of giving me life, which causes the jealous God to take back control out of jealousy.
But when he takes back control in that way,.. the jealous God is forced to try to be like our God,... who don't need at all,... so the jealous God has to try and not need.
And now I'm at a point in life where I haven't screwed up and wanted for anything,... so I'm still looking and thinking more like my old self,.. but I've learned that in order to get rid of something that needs,... the best way is to not give it any of what it needs.
I've recently learned that I have a fasting job to do in life,... and plan to start doing that job as soon as I can afford to.
The way I see it,... the job of "A coming",... is to rid this world of a jealous God that has taken control of giving every living being on this earth life.
And also the way I see it,.. the reason that it's like there is no God around here is because any time our God does something around here the jealous God does something too out of jealousy.
I've gotten the impression that our God can't trust what the jealous God might do and have thought that Snakes with poison sacks the shoot poison into things through holes in their long fangs could of came from the jealous God.
And by the way,.. the pushing in my brain that I talked about up above,... what happened for me is,.. our God was able to push the jealous God over to the right side of my brain which makes my right eye dominant. Sometimes I can see the difference in the mirror. My right pupil will be bigger than my left one.
But the reason I'm bringing this up is,... it's the reason that I have lousy eye contact now days and have had for the past 20 years or more. The look on my face as I'm looking at someone that is talking to me can all of a sudden not feel right which causes me to look away from the person that's talking to me.
Starring back at a person that is talking to me even though the look on my face isn't feeling right can be like I'm giving them a look that is not appropriate for the listening that I'm doing.
I've had lots of times over the past 20 years where the look on my face looks angry,... but it's not me that's angry. Sometimes I can catch the look in the mirror,... like I can still have that angry look even now days,.. and then our God can change the look in my left eye causing the jealous God to do the same to my right eye,... and I'll look not angry and more myself again.
Another way to put things here is,... by our God having control of my left eye,.. he/she can cause me to look more like my old self again in that eye,.. which causes the jealous God to copy that look into my right eye.
It's a big reason as to why I don't care go to social events anymore. It's a big reason why I don't go out at all much anymore.
If I was able to have my old eye contact again,.. it would be like I'm just about totally able to be my old self again.
Our God was able to give me a hint of what my old eye contact use to be like a few times over the past 20 years while I was talking to someone. And it brought back memories of how I use to be able to communicate with people.
"What a difference it was"...
One very noticeable time that it happened,... the guy starred back at me then had to look away,.. and when it caused him to look away he got all upset and rushed over to do some work and as he was doing it he was saying things like,... "is that smoke",... "get that smoke out of here" to himself.
It was like he saw me being able to stand up like a Man for the first time there which he considered to be caused by God,.. then he rushed away complaining about my smoking... Which I wasn't doing at the time.
In my real life days my eye contact resembled what I've seen of Patrick Swayze's eye contact.
There was a time when I was in Jury Duty the last time I had to go when right before the Judge kicked me out of there he gave me a long stare. It seemed like I should of kept eye contact there and starred right back at him,... but I couldn't,.. the look on my face wasn't feeling correct at all,.. and it was like I had to look away.
I don't know,.. thinking about it now,.. it wasn't like I was standing up for something there at that moment,... he was just starring at me before giving me his decision.
Maybe it was better to not have a stare out with the judge,... I don't know... but it didn't matter,.. because it was like I couldn't help but look away there.
Ok,... that's enough of that sort of thing for today I think...
Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project again just caulking and re-painting trim.
Now that I'm home it's getting late quick tonight because of all the time I just spent thinking and writing everything that I wrote above. But I just had a shower,.. I've finished my work notes for the day,.. I've still gotta make a call about work and make up an Invoice for a job.
And then I'm going to cook dinner for the cats, a snack burrito for myself and then watch American Idol.
And that should be about it for my evening.
I don't know that I learned anything new today...

Today I worked on my exterior front porch painting project picking up all my tools, cleaning up and dealing with some paint blistering that's going on on the front deck that I painted.
Then I went to my major whole house remodeling project and lined up work for tomorrow. And then I came home and unloaded and cleaned up.
I got home a little early today. It was kind of nice sitting here feeling like I've got all kinds of free time.
So while I've been home I did a little patch work on the exterior stucco of my house and I took some pictures of myself before I went in and had a shower.
I put one of the pictures I took in my Photo Gallery in my web site here. On my Photo Gallery Index page it's image number 48,.. the one all the way on the bottom.
And now I'm sitting here at the time I would normally be sitting here after work getting ready to go in and fix dinner for the cats.
I don't plan on doing much of anything tonight,... I'm thinking that I'll probably just go to bed early.
And I don't remember learning anything new today.

Today I had kind of a busy Sunday. I went in my bathroom just to clean the exterior side of the bath tub,... and next thing ya know I'm cleaning the whole inside too. Then after I got it pretty clean I decided to remove the old corner beading and install new.
So after 4 separate trips to the hardware store I finally got it finished. It don't look to me like it's going to last long,.. and I think the caulking that I put on it is just going to turn all black and brown again. But it's a temporary fix that made it look a lot cleaner than it was.
And I made a call and sent an email out about a couple jobs.
I also did cat cooking today,... cooked up a crock pot full of food for them,.. then fried them up a nice dinner too.
And I did a quick update to my work web site and fixed myself a snack burrito. Same exact kind I had last night.
Oh,.. and I replaced some light bulbs around my house that were burned out earlier today.
And now it's not even dark yet,.. but I think my day is about over with.
I don't remember learning anything new today...

Let me see here,.. I've been busy pretty much all day today...
Umm,... well,.. I finished 4 loads of laundry today. I've been out shopping over at Bed Bath & Beyond and over at Target. Found me a little pop up style laundry bag for bringing my laundry out to the washer. And a kitchen sink stopper for filling the sink with water.
Then I went and did some grocery shopping.
And then I installed a new light and bathroom mirror in my bath room just temporarily because I'm still in the middle of remodeling that bathroom.
Oh,.. and I also made up a bill for a job. And then I also had to box up a bunch of cable type TV equipment and ship it back to the company that installed it. It didn't work with my Sling box TV and my Network magic shared folders site.
And now it's getting dark and I'm about ready for bed....
Oh,.. and as usual I fixed dinner for the cats, had a shower and also fixed myself a snack burrito. Bean and cheese with sour cream along with Mrs. Renfro's Habanero Salsa from Stater Brothers.
I don't remember learning anything new today...

Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project where me and a couple friends painted their Mud room and I also painted the front porch deck.
Now that I'm home,.. I've fixed dinner for the cats and finished my daily work notes.
And I'm just being bombarded with negative thoughts about someone tonight,... I've thought once already that,... Ok,.. this is just going to continue to be negative no matter what so I might as well stop thinking about it,... but the thoughts keep coming back to mind anyway....
Think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight...

Voting for Presidents and other Government and State officials.
Today while I was at work I had thoughts come to mind as if someone don't like something about me. It also came to mind in this way,... "if your just a human like all the rest of us,.. then you can Vote too"...
So today I got the impression that someone don't like the fact that I don't Vote.
Yeah,... for a long time now I've been using the excuse that,.. "maybe it's not a good idea for me to be voting because if a lot of people found out who I voted for it might cause problems"...
I've never voted for any Government type stuff. I've just really never had an interest to do so.
But I'm not against me voting in that way.
I'll tell ya one thing though,... every time I put a little thought into voting in that way,.. I'm always faced with the fact that "I just don't know who the best person is for any of those jobs".
It's like for me,.. I've really got to know a person quite well to be able say that I think they may be a good person for a job of that nature.
Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project again where I finish painted the exterior balcony area of their kids bathroom.
Now that I'm home I'm about ready to go get cleaned up,... then I'm going to fix dinner for the cats and then go out to dinner myself over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
I went ahead and stayed up and watched American Idol last night. I thought it was a good show last night. I think they've got a good thing going there.
I don't vote for American Idol contestants either.
It's because I don't want to choose one of them over thee other,... and I think that they are all showing that they can sing quite well.
I've noticed even with my own singing,... that it's like I can sing some songs better than I can others...
And it seems a bit like that for them on American Idol too.
There was a song that a guy sang on Tuesday's show where I really liked the way he sounded and sang 2 parts of the song,.. but the rest of the song kind of lagged....
For me,.. it didn't seem like it was his fault,.... just that that's how the song goes in those parts.
Like he would of needed to change the song a bit in order to make those other parts of the song stand out too.
I don't know....

Saw Hilary Clinton on the News today in an orange jacket. If she's thinking of me there I'm not sure what she's saying. Looks like either she likes me or she thinks I'm wrong about something.
It's been a long time since my original couch writing ended. Maybe she's not thinking of me at all there.
And I saw the Bear attacks the trainer story on the News today. I think you've gotta be very careful messing with any lifeforms that can turn on you and easily kill you. I think that animals are just like we Humans are,... they can get angry and or pissed off too...
And I also saw the end of the Ellen Show. Those kids that were flying in that flying machine,.... that looks like something that I might like doing someday...
I haven't been watching much TV for a long time now. Seems like ever since I got a computer I really haven't had much time for watching TV.
I don't usually like having a TV or radio on in the background when I'm thinking and writing. It's like it interferes with my thinking and bothers me. So I don't usually watch any TV anymore unless I plan on watching something.
Tonight I may watch American Idol. If I end up going to bed before it comes on,.. I'm going to record it so I can watch it tomorrow.
I figure that when I go on my next fast I'm going to have plenty of time for watching TV then. And have thought that I can watch all the new movies that have been coming out over the years at that time too.
Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project again where I just did more preparations on their Mud room,... preparing it for painting,.. and I primed a handrailing on a balcony area of the house.
Now that I'm home,... I'm about ready to go in and cook dinner for the cats,... then I might fix myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And that's about it for my day today.
But I think I'll add here that,... I'm not wrong about this,... I have one thing going for me concerning the writing about God and my fasting that I've been doing lately,...
I "Know" that it's real.....
It's not a "I think I know"...
"I know"....

Today I worked on my exterior front porch painting project again just painting trim, sanding, caulking and preparing the interior Mud room for painting.
Then I came home,.. showered, cooked a nice dinner for the cats, did my daily work notes and did some online banking and payed my bills.
And now I'm watching American Idol.
What I learned new today was,... I got to know Andrew Loyd Weber a little bit. Looks like he's been a musician ever since he was a little kid.
And that's about it for my day,... I'm on my way to bed....

Today I worked on my exterior front porch painting project just painting trim.
Then on my drive home I stopped by the bank and tried out there new ATM machine for a cash deposit. It seemed to work pretty good.
And then I came home and showered, cooked a nice dinner for the cats and did my dialy work notes.
And now it's about my bed time already.
I don't remember learning anything new today.

Speaking of becoming homeless. And speaking of homeless people.
I thought I heard that Charlie Sheen invited all homeless people to come up and live in his town once.... I don't know.
But there's an idea that I've had if I ever had a lot of money. An idea that I had that I thought of doing maybe some day.
There's something that I think would be very nice if it could be this way on this World... I think that it would be very nice if every body was able to have a home that they don't have to worry about losing.
So my idea of what I could do about that is,... if I had a lot of money,... I could buy property and build homes and give them to people who need a home. And of course,.. I'll have to be the one paying any house bills that there may be for them so that they can always have a home that their not worried about losing.
I'm not sure yet exactly how to work it out,.. but I really do think that it would be nice for everybody if they could all have a home that they don't have to worry about losing.
It's Sunday morning here now,.. and I think I'll get my day started...
Man,.. my nose got stuffed up solid last night... This new nose medicine I'm using,... I don't think it's working. My old nose medicine that I was getting from 7-eleven stores,.. the company that made it seems to of gone out of business or something.
I had to switch to that 7-eleven store brand because the nasal spray that I was getting over at Thrifty's - Rite-Aid got changed to the new more soothing style,.. and it didn't work anymore.
I use to get a stuffed up nose back when I was a little kid. And I remember the very first time my Mom brought the nose drops into my room and fixed my nose.
And it was a great thing. Turning a miserable like life style back into an Ok more comfortable life style.
And even to this day,... a nasal spray that works can do the same exact thing for me.
I think it's a good thing to be able to change my life from miserable back to more livable. I can choose to live my life miserably,.. or I can fix it.
It's been a good thing having the option to be able to fix my stuffed up nose.
So,.. one of my things to do today is to go and see if there's any more nasal sprays out there that actually work.
And speaking of fixing things...
I've learned that there is a very big problem in this world that I may be able to fix.
It seems like the things that I've learned about God may be a little different than what a lot of people believe. And I can see how a lot of people may not care to change their beliefs in what they think of God.
I think that's Ok.
And no matter what any of you out there believe about God.... These things I've been writing about concerning me, fasting and God are very real parts of My life.
I can't help but have these things be a part of my life,... and will be dealing with them for the rest of my life if I have to.
I will be living with problems and having to fast for the rest of my life if I have to.
I never really put any thought into "what the best ways are to get rid of something that needs". Maybe partly because back in my very first trial run of fasting there came a time when it was Ok to have foods and drinks again. Which led to my real life days without having to keep fasting.
I never really put any thought into it until just recently when everyday "fasting" has been coming to mind as if it's something that I should be doing.
And it was that that caused me to think "what is best way to get rid of something that needs".
Answer,... "don't give it what it needs".
Very simple... And so now I see that I have a job to do that requires me to fast.
I think that all a short fast is going to accomplish is "making me skinny". Which will be nice in my stomach area. But it's not what this job is about.
So I think I've gotta prepare for the long haul.
Let me see here,... I've been pretty busy all day,.. but I'm not sure what it is that I've been doing all this time.
Well,.. I did make a couple new videos today. I've put them in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page. Their on top dated with today's date,... New York New York and Cher's - Dov'e L Amore.
And I cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and also fried them a nice dinner.
I've had a shower,.. I've been out shopping a little bit... And it seems like that's about all I did today.
Think I'm about ready for bed here. And I don't remember learning anything new today.

Second Comings... The Second Coming...
Not literally I don't think... But quite possibly the second coming of the person that has to fast for a long time. Quite possibly the second coming of a guy that has to fast for reasons that have to do with God.
Some people may like me. Some people may not like me. For some people it may be just that one thing about me.... It reminds me of a movie Billy Crystal was in,... "There's just that one thing".
There's especially just that one thing about me that some people have a problem with.
But you know what,.. this fasting job of mine,... this second coming thing about me,... it's not a thing that's about Me.
It's a thing that helps our God and every living being on this planet.
I'm just going to be "just another Human being that's living on this planet".
"I am,... even now,... just another Human being that's living on this planet".
I'm just a person,... that has learned that I have a fasting job to do for God like reasons.
I'm just a person that has learned that I may be what some people might call "The Second Coming".
I don't want to change into some goody goody like person because of this.
I don't want to change into some person that I am not because of this.
I keep thinking that in the end if everything works out,... what I am going to be is:
"I'm just going to be myself".
And if it seems like I have to,.. one day if I can afford it,... I'll just move myself to some place where there are no people that are bothered by anything that I may be doing.
A place where I can feel comfortable to do anything that I like.
I've had a problem that makes it like I can't be totally myself for over 20 years now.
I don't think,.. "yeah,... I wanna be the best" anymore like I did once back when I was a little kid playing basketball out in my front yard...
What I think now is,... "I'm going to be totally myself,.. if it's ever possible again"...
"I'm just going to be Me"...
And I've thought,... I'm going be Me now too,... "as close as I can get to it anyway".
A little something about this fasting job of mine,... I heard a woman say at the Oscars one evening,.. "hey everybody,... were not going to need anymore".
But what I'm doing that involves this fasting stuff,.. is about much more than that,... if everything works out to where there is no need anymore around here,... it also gives this world a God that can actually do things around here.
I think I once heard a guy named Richard Blade from KROQ radio say something like,... "we may not need hospitals anymore".
And I think that he may just be right.
The way I see it,.. all living beings around here will be able to be fixed by God if they need fixing.
Like for instance,.... "The blind will be able see". "The deaf will be able to hear". "The old may look young again,.. and not ever die".... Just to name a few...
If anybody has had the thought,.... "THIS IS A BIG,.. BIG,.. DEAL".
Yes,... I believe that your right,... this fasting job of mine,.. and what it should accomplish in the end,... is a "BIG, BIG, BIG DEAL".
Well,... it's Saturday morning right now as I'm writing all this out.... Think I'm going to get my day started here,... I've got some yard work that is ready to be done and I'm going to put a shelf or 2 in my laundry room today.
But I think I'll add here that,... and all other people really need to be able to do considering my fasting,... is to allow me to do it.... It's like other people need to be able to believe that what I'm doing is real,... so that they will allow me to fast for a long time.
Because if people can't do that,... I may have to become homeless and get lost somewhere where there are no people in order to do this fasting job.
Well,... today went by real fast.
Today I made and installed some shelves in my laundry room. I mowed and weedeated. I went grocery shopping. I cooked a nice dinner for the cats... Italiani tonight for them,... they got some Pomodoro Cucina Italiana left overs cooked up with some eggs.
And,.. I'm in the process of finishing my 3rd load of laundry.
And that's about it for my day today... I don't remember learning anything new today...

Today for work me and a couple friends of mine worked on my exterior front porch painting project all painting trim. And I did a little patch work on a balcony area also.
Today I came home to a surprise. Someone or some people decided to send me a copy of the magazine called "Us Weekly".
I can see a good reason for sending this particular copy of the magazine to me. And I have no idea who did this for me.
But if that person or those people happen to read what I'm writing here today.
"Thank You".
Now that I'm home,.. I've finished my daily work notes and fixed a nice dinner for the cats.
Think I might fix myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream in a little while and my Friday evening will be about finished after that I think.
There was a good interview on KLOS radio this morning with a girl friend of John Lennon's.
I thought it was a good one anyway.

Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project and had a couple friends helping me there today also. And we masked off everything today and spray painted the body color. And I also fixed and prepared another little balcony like area for painting today.
Then I came home, got cleaned up and went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a great dinner. I went with Fettuccine Alfredo tonight along with their Spinaci, Brussels Sprouts and an order of garlic bread with a double order of Arribiata sauce.
And then I came home and had to make an Invoice for a job.
And now I think I'm just about ready for bed. I've had a headache through a lot of the day today.

Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch project and finished all the priming of the wood work.
I decided to put an old video back into my All Video Player today. It's in there labeled Elton John's - Your Song - August 2007.
Now that I'm home from work,... I've got to take my Great Uncle down to BestBuy and maybe get him a deep freezer. He say's the grocery store prices are getting too high and he needs to start buying his food in bulk.
And then I've gotta fix a nice dinner for the cats,.. and later I'm going to watch American Idol again.
I watched last night's American Idol. I think they've got a good show there. A good idea that someone had giving people a chance to become singers in that way.

Today I worked on my exterior front porch project just priming wood work again.
Now that I'm home,.. I've finished my daily work notes, fixed dinner for the cats, made a singing video and am in the process of de-green screening it.
After seeing this new video from today I thought it's like I would be able to look better if I'd put some make up on and a wig... It's not always so easy to catch myself looking good to me as just myself.
It's the way my eyes are looking a lot of the time that I don't always like. My problem areas on my face are my eyes, nose and mouth. The rest of it usually looks Ok to me.
So I've got an old video that I found that I never put into my dailies that I'm going to put in my All Video Player and a new video that I made today that I'll put in there also. It could be 9:00pm by the time I get them in there. And I'll just put them on top dated with today's date,.. Cher's - The Power is the video from last year and Cher's - Dov'e L Amore is the one that I made this evening.
And now it's getting close to 8:00pm here,.. I'm gonna go make me a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then watch American Idol.
I noticed last night that Dancing With The Stars is on again. And I caught Priscilla Presley's first dance from last night.... I saw the R&B singer's dance too,.. but I don't remember what his name was.

Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project just priming all the wood work.
Now that I'm home I'm in the process of putting an old video of mine back into My All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It will be listed in there as Eagles - New Kid In Town - November 2007.
I was thinking of putting that video over in YouTube,.. but because I messed up on the words towards the end of the song I never have gotten around to it. I actually like this video other than that. And I like the way my voice sounds with this song. It's one of my very favorite Eagles songs.
On the radio today they were talking a little bit about Karaoke. Good and bad. And I've noticed on a music TV show they will kind of down karaoke music there too. Or they have anyway.
Personally,.. I think karaoke can be a great tool for anybody that's interested in being a singer.
Today a subject that I've talked about before came to mind a few times as if I should write it down again here. This is something that happened to me back when I was doing that job where the birds all swooped down at me on the freeway one day.
I was one of the painters working on a brand new Sheraton Hotel. The whole exterior of the building had scaffold around it so that the plasterers and painters could work on the exterior walls. And anybody else that needed to work on them.
Everybody seemed to be wondering about me on this job. Like they were thinking "maybe he's gay"...
One day a lot of workers were working on the scaffold including me. A whole bunch of girls were walking down the other side of the street and every worker on that scaffold but Me turned and watched the girls.
I just kept working along with knowing what their doing. At one point I looked over at the guys and they were all looking at me as if they were thinking like,... "well,.. are you going to turn around and look or what".
So I stopped what I was doing and turned around and looked. As I did,.. all the other guys turned around and went back to work.
Ok,.. so on this job I didn't really talk much unless I had to. And people noticed that too.
One day I decided to talk to some guy in front of a bunch of guys,... I don't remember what about,... but everybody seemed to think that maybe I like that guy or something. Back to the "maybe he's gay" part.
So what happened after that was,... every time I'd look over at that guy I talked to,.. or just looked his way,... he would stick his butt out.
It's quite funny thinking about it now. But he didn't do it in a looking like he's being funny sort of way. He did it non shilantly. Like,.. what ever he happened to be doing at the time he would keep doing,... but when he noticed I was looking his way,.. he would stick his butt out.
I remember I was coming out of the Deli where we got our lunch,.. and seeing him and his boss walking down the street about 200 feet away from me and as I was looking their way,.. out came his butt as they just kept walking....
It makes me laugh now. Seems like me telling a group of friends one day that I was a butt man as opposed to a breast man got spread around.
Think I talked to that guy twice on that job for some reason, but I don't recall talking to him anymore once he started sticking his butt out.
I didn't take him for a guy that was gay,.. he could of been,.. but I didn't think so back then. I thought he was just screwing around due to the wondering that was going on about me back then.
Back when I told my friends that I'm a butt man,... I was talking about girls butts,... girls butts only.
No guys for me man.
Ok,.. so now it's about 5:00pm here at my house and I'm gonna go get in the shower,.. then fix a nice dinner for the cats and probably go to bed soon after that.
I'm not sure how to spell "non-shelantly",... it's not coming up in my spell checker.

Today I've been pretty busy all day.
Let me see here,... I started out this morning doing some online banking,.. paying my bills. And then I put a couple old videos back into my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. I put my singing of Michael Jackson's Billy Jean back and Frank Sinatra's Taking A Chance On Love.
The reason I didn't put those back before is,.. I wasn't all that crazy about the way I was looking in "Taking A Chance On Love",... and I wasn't totally happy with the way I sang "Billy Jean".
Then I went and did some grocery shopping.
And then I came home and made some more videos of The Beatles Come Together. There's 3 of them that will be in My All Video Player on my Video Archives page by tonight. They'll all be on top dated with today's date.
Then I went over to BestBuy and got me another new external harddrive for doing back ups. This one is for Videos only.
And then I removed the airless paint sprayer from my old work van. I've got to take it in and get it's air motor rebuilt.
And I put new holes in a bunch of belts I just bought so that they'll fit me right.
And then I reamed my drain pipes in my house. Got the kitchen and bathroom sinks so that their draining properly again. It's been like I've got to do that at least once a year in this house.
Then I had a shower and fixed a nice dinner for the cats. And made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
And now it's after 10:00pm here and I'm about ready for bed.
I also spent a bunch of time de-green screening all the videos that I made for today.
I don't remember if I've learned anything new today.

Well it's a little after 5:00pm in the evening here now and I'm thinking here that I'm going to go ahead and write my dailies out now.
Today I started out my day looking at all the different styles of electric razors online. And then when the stores opened I went out and looked at them in the stores too.
This new electric razor I purchased almost 4 Months ago,... well,... it don't shave as well as my old electric razor. It's like it's blades aren't as sharp and like it's having a hard time cutting. Especially on my upper lip area.
My old electric razor still works,.. and it's actually shaving better than my new razor is. The only problem with it though is that it's battery has about had it. It don't hold a charge for very long anymore.
So I went out to the stores to see if I could find more an exact copy of my old razor and didn't find any. Next time I get an electric razor I'm going to take it back and get my money back if I don't like it,... or exchange it for a different one. I waited to long with this one and I can't take it back now.
And I've been working on finishing 3 loads of laundry today. I still have one more left to fold.
And I've made some singing videos. I put one of them in my All Video player that's on my Video Archives page. It's on top dated with today's date,.. The Beatles - Come Together - clean style. I'm not all that happy with the way I'm sounding in it,.. but it was about my best one of the day I think.
If the facial expression that I made at the end of the video seems odd,... I was just attempting to copy a facial expression that I saw Mariah Carey do at the end of one of her Heartbreaker videos is all and didn't quite get it right.
So for the rest of my day,... I've still gotta fix dinner for the cats and that will probably be my last chore for the day.
I don't remember learning anything new worth mentioning today as of yet.

Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch painting project priming siding and trim.
Now that I'm home I'm thinking that I'm probably just going to finish my usual chores and then go to bed.
I watched American Idol last night. It surprised me too with the singer that got removed from the competition last night.
Seeing Rob Schneider on the show last night or the night before reminds me of sitting in the bath tub during one of my fasts when I was bringing foods and drinks in there with me and putting them in my mouth then spitting them out in the bath tub.
One day my mouth was really dry and I just took the hand held shower nozzle and shot water into my mouth for a long period of time and it made my mouth really raw inside. And that's when I decided that Milk might go better with my raw dry mouth.
I remember feeling pretty weak and run down back then during that fast. And where I just don't care if I'm spitting food and drink into my bath water. Like,... if I'm up for it,.. I can rinse it off of me as I'm getting out of the tub.
Looks like Rob Schneider is a Scorpio like me.
I use to think and say somethin like,.. "I'm a Scorpio,.... crazy about sex"....
Or maybe it was "sex maniac"....
Yeah,... that sounds more right,... "I'm a Scorpio,.. sex maniac"...
But I meant,... "crazy about sex" when I was saying it.
Now days though,.. it's like I've learned what it's like to be one of my ex-girl friend's. She was "Not much interested in sex at all".
Where I'm different than her though is,.. I don't have anything against sex. Where she seemed to have something against it. Kind of like it was against her religion or something....
And she had sexual hang ups too,... where I really don't have any.

Today I got the idea to put an old video back into my All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page. It's when I sang BB-King & U2's "When Love Comes To Town". I listed it this time as U2 and BB-King's "When Love Comes To Town".
I wasn't that crazy over the way I looked in parts of that video is why I didn't put it back earlier.
I also saw my B-52's - "Dance This Mess Around" while I was putting that video back,.. and decided to put it back in my site too.
I don't know why I didn't put that one back earlier,.. I'm Ok with the way I'm looking in that one from what I remember of it.
I think what it was is that I wasn't that happy with the way I sang it. And it's also like,.. I like the karaoke versions better than the ones where I'm singing along with them.
Today I worked on my front porch painting project just getting it all patched, caulked and sanded. I've got it pretty well ready for some priming now.
I liked the American Idol show last night. I decided to go to bed early and recorded the last half of the show though. So I still haven't seen the whole show yet.
Got me a new Sling Box TV recorder the other day called At-Large Recorder 2. And it seems to work quite well too.
Sometimes I'm ready for bed before American Idol even comes on,... so being able to record it will be cool.
It's my dinner night tonight,.. so I think I'm going to go get cleaned up, fix dinner for the cats,.. then head over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and have me a good dinner.
Then I may watch American Idol when I get back if I'm up for it.
And if I'm not,.. I'll record it.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project. I finished a custom mirror for a bathroom,... (applied a custom finish to it so that it matches their bathroom fixtures and hardware). It's like a black bronze finish. And I ran around getting materials. We applied a semi transparent stain to the exterior wood fence. And I also worked on priming some stairway risers and stringers.
Now that I'm home,... I've finished my daily notes for the day and also made out an Invoice for a job. And I just cooked a nice dinner for the cats.
And now I'm getting ready to go in and make me a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream and then American Idol will be on after that.
I watched last night's show. I think those are my favorite night's,... their performance nights.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project preparing walls and stair stringers and risers for painting.
Then I came home and removed all my new TV and internet package deal that I just had installed. And then I hooked up our old Satelite TV system and Cable internet so that everything is working like it use to.
The new package I decided to try out after talking to a couple door to door salesmen about it,... well,.. it's not compatible with a couple of the things I use on my computer. And they didn't have a couple TV channels that my Great Uncle usually watches.
I did like the picture quality that it gave my TV's though. Seemed like it made my old TV in my living room look like it had picture quality of a new TV.
And now it's getting late here,.. I've cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. and fixed my self a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream,.. and I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.
I don't remember learning anything new today...

Sunday, April 6, 2008
Today I made a music video that I'm putting in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page. I got the idea to make a new one of that song last week,.. and went ahead and shot it today. It'll be the video on top dated with today's date,... The Beatles - Come Together - scream style and in make up.
Today I did some online banking and paid all my bills. I went to the grocery store and did some grocery shopping. I cooked up a crock pot full of food for the cats. I've made some singing videos then had a shower. I fixed dinner for the cats.
And now I'm sitting here thinking about what more I'm going to write about concerning me and fasting.
Well,... one thing is,... most all the fasting I did in the past 20 years has been because I screwed up and wanted for something. I remember one of the last times was because I was looking up at the stars and planets one night. And I would be looking at a star or planet, then all of a sudden it looked like I could see it had a moon also. It was like I couldn't see it at first and then something made it appear to me.
So I started looking at more stars or planets and it happened again. That guy has a moon too I thought. And how I screwed up and wanted for something was by "trying to see". It was next thing ya know,.. I'm "trying" to see their moons.
Which was a "want" and caused me to have to fast again.
I remember all my life it had been like there was always something about trying to do anything. Like I was always more of a doer and if it required some trying I would lose interest.
So now I'm cautious about any kind of "trying".
There was one fast that I did though that wasn't due to "I screwed up and wanted for something". It was a fast that went on for over 50 days. And one thing about this fast was,.. I didn't really know why I was doing it the whole time I was fasting. I just got the impression from my mind one day that the next thing I should do is "fast".
Because the fast went on for so long,... I did get the impression that it was like I was proving something to everybody is why I was doing that fast. Like,.. Jesus Christ was able to fast for a long time,.. and during that fast I showed everybody that so could I.
I get very dry when I fast. Like I get such a dry mouth that I can hardly speak sometimes. And putting something in my mouth to help with the dry mouth is Ok. Which can make the best part of every day during a fast is those times when I'm putting something in my mouth.
I didn't mean to swallow any of it during my 50 day fast. But I did mess up and swallow a few times. It's real easy to do when your in a very needy dried out state like that. And of course,.. due to the fact that I wasn't fasting because I needed to,... I didn't see why a little bit of swallowing of the liquids that I was putting in my mouth was all that bad.
A while after this fast was finished and because it seemed like it was all about proving something to people,... I thought,.. if I would of known that,.. I would of done a better job at it.
I didn't swallow much though. I was sucked down to skin and bones again when I got to the hospital. I think I weighed in there at around 80 pounds.
Actually,.. during the end of that fast,.. it's like it was getting easier to keep fasting. Like I was getting use to the life style and getting less dry too.
So,.. this next time I fast,.. I've been thinking that I should just plan on fasting for a whole year.
Though just yesterday as I was thinking about it,.. my brain goes: "there's no way it's going to take that long".
I liked the thought because it came across as a real thought of God's. I got some good feelings to go along with it.
It don't matter if it's 6 Month's or a full Year to me though. I've been thinking that even if it lasted over a year that maybe I ought to just keep going with it.
I've got to start saving money for this fast.

Saturday, April 5, 2008
One thing I forgot about yesterday as I was writing about the things that led to my fasting for the second time.
This happened before I went on that long walk that led to my second time fasting. I was working on a job doing drywall work. And I wasn't liking life at all. At one point I got the idea to just stop breathing.
I don't mean by holding my breath. I mean,.. just stop breathing completely.
As I did it I noticed a change in my breathing as if I was able to stop the Devil from breathing. It was like I was able to stop breathing,.. I collapsed to the floor and ended up in the hospital in like a comatose mind frame.
I don't remember getting taken to the hospital, but I remember lying in the hospital as they were cutting my clothes off of me. I was thinking that it seems odd what their doing to me as they cut every bit of clothes off of me. But I just lied there and allowed it as if I was in a comma or something.
As I lied there in that hospital I noticed that my body was breathing. It was so faint like that I could hardly notice it. But I was breathing.
And that ended up being the first thing I needed to do for what I'm going through. Like,.. there's a definite difference in the way my breathing is. I mean,.. it was like the Devil God was breathing right along with me,.. and I was able to stop him from doing that.
I know it may sound odd and maybe ridiculous,.. but even to this day,.. if my breathing seems erratic or not right,... I'll stop breathing,... and it gets myself back to where it seems like my breathing is right again. I don't have to fall to the floor anymore about it though. It's not a big deal anymore.
Ok,.. back to my second time I fasted and afterwords. This is a time when I still don't remember all my old thoughts. Like this one,.. back when I was lying in bed thinking about what's wrong with me,.. why don't I get girl friends,... then realized that it's been partly because it's been wrong for me to "want". And I thought,... I'm Jesus Christ due to what I've heard about him being celibate and how religion could make sex seem like it was a wrong.
Anyway,.. what I thought back then after thinking that was,... "I could never tell anybody that". Then I thought,.. I'll just have to be the best. Then everybody will just know because of that. Of course later and now days I've decided that I think nobody even needs to know anyway. But it doesn't matter now.
Ok,.. so why I'm bringing that up again here is that during my second fast and a bunch more fasts that I went through for about a year or so while I was living at my parents house. My Parents were going along with it,... and allowing it. And there was one time when I remember looking at my Mom and telling her,.. "Mom,... I'm Jesus Christ". I don't remember what led to me thinking that I needed to say that to her,... but it was due to all the fasting I was doing.
She snapped right back at me with "No your not,... your Rick Harrington".
I had no reply for that as I realized there that I don't know if I really am him or not. And nothing more was ever said about that. And I realized later that I don't believe that I am Jesus Christ because I have no memories what so ever from any life other than the one I'm living now as Rick Harrington.
My fasts back then would usually last from 2 to 3 weeks because I remembered that there was a point when I could stop fasting and have again from back in my trial run of fasting. And I had to learn what was going on in my mind. Like,.. what's really going on that makes it Ok to eat later.
And here's exactly how I think it works,... I have to fast to the point where I die,.. but I don't die because God takes control of giving me life,.. which causes the Jealous God to take back control of giving me life out of Jealousy which causes him/her to have to try to be like our God who doesn't need at all.
But his need is real,.. and all the Jealous God can do is try not to need. And it does make me seem less needy than I was before my fasting. It makes me seem more like my life was in my first 22 years of life. And if I screw up and want for something the Jealous God takes back control of giving me life at his normal full needy way. Which is noticeable to me as soon as I look in the mirror and with my breathing too. My facial expression will have a certain F'd up look about it that I know from experience,... I just screwed up and am going to have to fast again.
See,.. one of the things I noticed about my fasting is that once I put our God into a more controlled setting it would allow him/her to push the Jealous God aside which made me look more like the old me from my first 23 years of life. I could feel them pushing on each other in my brain. I look different when I'm in a fully controlled by the Jealous God type life style. So it's always easy for me to tell just by looking at myself that I just screwed up and need to fast again.
Anyway,.. so,.. there came a point while I was living at my parents house where my Dad was getting sick and tired of my fasting life style.
I screwed up and wanted for something and had to fast again and he said "that's enough",.. You've gotta move out.
I ended up going to a friends house and continuing my fasting there where they seemed to be going along with it. But I remember an old friend coming by one evening and talking to me about it. He was kind of crying about it. And all I could really tell him is,.. "this is just something I have to do".
My friend that was a cop stopped by after that,.. and he was talking to me trying to find out what's going on with me along with thinking that he should bring me to the hospital. And I remember him saying something like,... "what would you do if you were me?",... "how would you deal with this situation?".. And I thought about it and said,.. "well,.. I wouldn't do anything against your will".
He ended up leaving,.. but I think it was him that called a couple of his friend cops to come and get me and take me to the hospital.
And it was this time at the hospital where they stuck an IV needle into my arm and also told me "if you don't start eating,.. were going to shove a tube down your throat and force feed you".
See,.. my 2 to 3 week fasting wasn't done yet during that time,.. so I was still fasting in the hospital too.
But anyway,.. it was at this hospital stay where I ended up talking about God like stuff. I remember telling the Woman doctor that was talking to me about my fasting,.. "I don't need,... and,.. our bodies aren't supposed to be needing". Where it was right there that I realized how ridiculous that may sound as my body was looking like it was needing though.
But she treated me nice,.. as I said,.. "food isn't supposed to be going through our veins",.. she said,.. "well it isn't,... we call them placebos".
I didn't say nothing,.. but I thought,.. yeah,.. well what ever name you come up for parts of our food going through our veins,... it isn't supposed to be doing that.
And I remember in this hospital stay how it's like I could use some help from God himself as I'm in there trying to talk about far fetched sounding stuff. Like it was something you can't talk about along with being taken seriously.
This is the stay where the woman told me that I had to shave Now. Once I started eating again,.. they put me in their Mental Ward where they held me for 72 hours. I remember my Mom brought me McDonalds Quarter Pounders when I was in there. And they were great tasting.
It was this fast where I screwed up and wanted for something twice in a row. I screwed up the first time and fasted at my parents house where they kicked me out. Then while at my friends house I was done at one point and able to eat. They were making tacos,.. and I asked the girl that was making them a question,... something like,.. "Do you have any Hot Sauce?",... I was Ok with that "want",... God was able to keep the jealous God from taking over,... but the girl didn't catch what I said and said,... "what?",... and I said again,... "Do you have any Hot Sauce?". And it was right there where I screwed up again and had to go right back to fasting.
I think it was right there where I realized that I shouldn't ask questions at all any more,.. and haven't been for a long time now.
It can make communication seem odd sometimes,... but over time it's like most everybody has gotten use to it.
Today I did a couple loads of laundry,.. I weed eated and mowed the lawn and I dealt with getting a new AT&T TV and internet package set up. So far I can't get my Sling Box TV to work with their new set up here. But my other TV's are working fine.
It's getting late now,.. and I still haven't fixed any dinner for the cats yet. I've got a bit of a mess going here now with all this new network set up along with my old one still in here.
Think I'm going to call it a day on trying to get everything set up correctly here so that I can go and finish some other things.

Yesterday I got the idea to put a video of mine back into my Videos that are in my All Video player. It's George Michael's "Faith" that I sang last year.
I thought I sang it fair,.. it's the way I'm looking in parts of the video that I'm not that crazy about... But I went ahead and put it back in there.
I heard on the radio today that He's got a new music CD coming out right now too.
Today for work I worked on my whole house remodel project patching walls and painting exterior trim.
Now that I'm home I think I might finish my chores and go to bed early tonight. I've been feeling a bit sickly ever since I woke up this morning.
I've been thinking that maybe I'm not up for it tonight,.. but I guess I can write a little more about my life and fasting. I'm going to write a bit about some of the things that led to my second time I ever fasted in life.
It was a time when I may of been about 26 years old. And in this segment of my life,.. I should start the story at a time back when I was,... well,.. old enough to be able to throw a basketball through a standard basketball hoop that was about 8 to 10 feet high. I think I may of been 8 to 10 years old.
This is the very first time that I remember hearing a thought in my mind that wasn't mine. I was playing basketball in the front yard of my parents house that live next door to me right now. I was day dreaming the whole time I was playing that all the cars that were going by,.. and the neighbors too,.. were all seeing me and thinking "man that kids good". And all kinds of good things like that.
And at one point as I was out there playing and dreaming I had a thought come to my mind exactly like this "You wanna be the best?"
I answered back with "YES". And "Yes I do".... And "yes",... and "yes",.... and yes....
But I didn't hear any thing more that day and the memories of that day just kind of went away by the next day,... kind of like it never happened. I didn't put any thought into who or what could of said that to me... It's like it ended with my yes's and slowly faded away like it never happened.
So now the story can jump up to a time when I'm around 26 years old. And this is a time after the birds all swooped down at my truck on the freeway that I wrote about a couple days ago.
I was on a job working up high on a scissor type lift painting ceilings at the Stater Brothers warehouse. Life still wasn't good,... and I think I was thinking about God's and Devil's. And at one point I had a thought come to mind that wasn't mine that went like this "You wanna be the best?",... and then I heard another one,.. but it came to me as if it was someone else,.. and angry like,... "YOU WANNA BE THE BEST?".
I immediately thought,... "there's 2". And because of the angry one along with the things I was thinking about,... they kind of came across as a God and a Devil.
My scissor lift seemed to start wobbling soon after these thoughts and it got to where I think I better get down off this scissor lift and go home for the day,... so I did.
This is at a time in my life when it's like I've forgotten a lot of things about what it was like to be the old me back in my first 23 years of life. But I was remembering little tid bits every once in a while.
It could of been Weeks or Months later I decided to walk to a friends house one evening. And on that walk it started feeling like I could push that Devil guy out of brain. I'd concentrate on pushing in my mind and it felt like I was getting some where. Then I'd start running along with it,.. and it felt like I was doing even more good.
So I started pushing in my mind and running faster and faster. It was like the faster I ran the better. I would go for a long run and it was like I would start leaning forward more and more towards the ground as I was running and then end up diving to the ground in someones front lawn.
The night went on to where it was already morning and I was still out there in some neighborhood running and doing dives into peoples front lawns.
A Fire Truck showed up as I was still out doing it and a couple of the guys chased me down on a couple of my runs. And that's when I decided to stop doing it.
They were cool and just ended up bringing me home. I don't remember them questioning me about it,.. and I don't remember myself saying anything to them about what I was doing either.
But at each end of my runs it was like someone was trying to get me to do a head dive into something. Like a smash my head into something sort of thing. And it was making me think that the Devil was involved and trying to get me to smash my head open. So I didn't go back to doing that anymore.
What I did do though,.. and it seems like it was days later,... I decided to go on a long walk. I wasn't sure where,.. I just headed towards the San Bernardino Mountains and started walking.
At one point during my walk,.. I thought,.. maybe I'll walk up to a friends house that lives up in Victor Ville. Which would of been quite a walk. Think it's probably around 80 miles up to his house from where I started my walking from,.. which was my Parents house next door to me now here in Riverside California.
On my walk it was like God helped me to walk like I use to back in my 23rd year of life. Which made walking seem easy. I'm not sure how to explain it right now,.. but in my 23rd year of life,.. what I've called my real life days,.. when life first changed for me in that year,.. I stood taller and straighter and walked different. I mean like,.. it was so different that I was a little embarrassed like about it at first thinking how people are going to notice. But that thought went away quickly and I ended up walking that way up until "boom",.. my life changed in the Red Onion bar and restaurant one evening. I was given back the problems I use to have back in my first 22 years of life.
Anyway,.. so I'm still walking and now up to the point where I'm going up the mountain to Big Bear California. It was getting dark as I was going up the mountain. I got to a familiar place up there where there was like an over pass that's going over a creek and decided to stop.
I was thinking that under the over pass may be a good place to stop and sleep. But it was getting really cold. I remember looking at the trees and the wind was making them shake like they were cold too.
It was getting too cold to stay up there. So I decided maybe I better head back towards home. I made it back to a gas station in San Bernardino and I wasn't feeling so well. I ended up calling my Parents to see if they would come and get me. They decided to come and get me and I went back by the trash cans at the gas station and found a place to lay down.
I was feeling quite burned out and even sick like. I think that may of been a 40 mile walk that I went on that day. And it was morning and getting light by the time my parents got there. Not much of anything was said on the drive home.
But when we got home,... I just happened to be staying at my parents house at that time which I said that I would never do back when I moved out at age 18. But life changed for me and things worked out different than I would of done.
Anyway,.. when we got home I was ready for bed. As I was lying in bed I was getting the impression that what I should do now,.. is fast. Go without food, drink and everything. I had no memory of my trial run fast at this time,... and was thinking,... nah,... I don't think that's something I should be doing. I was against doing it because it just didn't seem like the right thing to be doing.
But the thought kept coming to mind as if maybe I should be doing it. So I thought,.. "I'm going to need help in doing this" and decided to give it a try.
I lied there thinking for a while,.. and the first thing I decided to have was a cigarette. I lit one and went back to thinking,... and God physically turned my head to where I was looking directly at the ash tray. It was exactly like,.. this is real,.. and I should put the cigarette out.
I got my first confirmation that I was doing the right thing. And started feeling more at ease with what I'm about to do. I think I may of did the same thing twice more and got my head turned towards the ash tray both those times too.
And that ended up being the second time I ever fasted... I don't remember right now how long I fasted for on that particular time,.. but that ended up being the beginning of a bunch of fasting and learning and remembering of old memories.
I think I'll stop there for today and maybe I'll add to it over the weekend.

Today for work I worked on my whole house remodel project spray painting bead board ceilings, patching walls and painting exterior trim.
I've got more things that I've thought of to say about my life and fasting,.. but I'm thinking that I might save them for tomorrow.
I watched American Idol last night. I liked it. I think that may be the first time I ever watched Dolly Parton perform a song. She's always come across in a good way to me.
Man that young looking trio band that played last night,... they were radical. And I mean that in a Good Way. Like,... radically good...
Well it's my dinner night,.. so I'm sitting here after my shower getting ready to go in and fix dinner for the cats,.. and then I'm going to head over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and have me a good dinner.
I don't remember learning anything new today worth mentioning.

I have a friend that was a Cop, but then had to retire from it,.. that told me sincerely one day,... "I've been prepped to be a cop my whole life,... I don't know what I'm going to do now".
He was partly responsible for taking me to the hospital one time because I was fasting.
But what I'm getting at here is,... I've learned that my whole life I've been prepped to do one of the things that I'm doing in life too. And that one thing that I'm talking about here requires me to fast.
Yesterday I mentioned that,.. I went through like a trial run of fasting and hyperventilating that led me to what I call my real life days back when I was 23 years old. I fasted not knowing why,.. then one day I thought,... is anything going to happen or what,.... and then I heard,... "you can have as long as you don't want for anything".
I remember why now. And I think I should start back when I was in Junior High School. I kind of liked a girl back then. And one day that girl was being extra friendly with a friend of mine.
It caused me to have a jealous thought,.. and right after I did,... my mind goes: "that's Jealousy,... that's wrong". . . Not like I was hearing voices,... but like a thought that was obviously not mine.
I thought,... "Ok",.. and proceeded to live my life that way. As if jealousy is wrong.
So now the story moves to when I was around 22 years old. I was lying in bed one day thinking about "why I don't get girl friends",.. like,.. what's my problem that keeps me from being able to get girl friends.
At one point in my thinking the word "jealousy" came to mind,.. and I thought,.. Ok,... it's wrong for me to be jealous,.. then my brain goes,... what causes jealousy?,... And I realized that "want" causes jealousy....
I thought,.. "I'm Jesus Christ",... because of the things I heard about him being celibate,... and because of how religion could make sex seem like it's a wrong.
But sex was never like a wrong thing for me to do. And kissing a girl and the touching too was never wrong for me. It was always the "want" to do those things with a girl that was wrong for me.
Anyway,.. so as I'm lying there thinking about that stuff,.. at one point my brain goes: "want causes jealousy,... and you don't want because you don't need"... And that was the reason that I ended up doing a trial run of fasting. It was like I needed to find out what I needed.
So I went without food and drink for about 2 weeks and nothing happened. My body didn't show any signs of needing and I didn't see the point in what I was doing. I couldn't see what I needed at all there.
So I thought,.. is anything going to happen or what,...which is when I heard,.. "you can have as long as you don't want for anything". And then it was about a Month later where I found myself hyperventilating until it stopped at the hospital. And after that was my 23rd year of life where life got great for about 1 year.
What I've called my real life days. It was like,... "this is how life is meant to be".
But one evening while I was standing in the Red Onion Restaurant and Bar,.. all of a sudden "boom",.. it was like my face was melting and I was just given back the problems I use to have back when I was 22 years old and before that. Problems I couldn't help but show,... like they were written all over my face.
I didn't know why and didn't even think about it. I just kept trying to have fun anyway,... which I soon learned over time,.. that it's like I can't have fun any more.
And life after that evening at the Red Onion became more of a problem than I ever had back in my first 22 years of life. Like life wasn't good at all any more and somethings wrong,.. like I can't be my old self any more.
Eventually,.. seems like Months later is about right,.. I was getting upset about it,.. and I thought,... the only thing that I don't know is,.. "what do I need". So I decided to talk to my mind,.. "what do I need?",... what do I need?",..... "what do I need?"....
I got no reply and had to just go on with lousy life.
It wasn't long after that,... (Months),.. when I was lying in bed one evening and all of a sudden my mind got all clear,.. like I stopped thinking completely. And it was right then where I felt something vibrate into my brain. . . I now believe that that is when God let the jealous God enter my brain.
But I didn't think nothing really of it then and just went to sleep.
There was one thing that I noticed though after that vibration happened. It was that every time I woke up from sleeping I would have drool coming out of my mouth. Like all of a sudden I was drooling onto my pillow every night.
Eventually the drooling went away,.. but lousy life didn't. It was even like I didn't know how to do things that I use to know how to do any more. Like I was having to re-learn things that I use to know.
It was like I couldn't be me at all anymore,.. and like I was forgetting what the old me was like.
One day at work I found myself crying about life and how it was. Life was lousy and I couldn't do anything about it. Like,.. I just broke down and had to cry about it.
As I was crying about it,.. the thought "I'm Jesus Christ" came to mind as if I really am. I didn't remember my old thoughts about that at the time,... but it made me feel better. It was like a big positive lift at a very down time. And I thought about it through my work day as if I really am Jesus Christ along with not really believing it.
That day while I was driving home from work still thinking about it,.. I was driving down the freeway and I got a good feeling up my spine. And it was at that time that birds started doing dives at my truck. Lot's of birds all diving right at my truck. It was like it was so obvious that other people had to be noticing too.
Which I've thought that maybe they did notice,.. because it wasn't long after that that I saw people had a new religious symbol. "A bird". Like they use to have the Fish,.. but now they have a Bird too. Some people still had the Fish symbol,.. but lots of others had "the Bird".
I think I'll add here that now days,... today,.. on April 2, 2008,.. I do not believe that I am Jesus Christ though. "I have never had a single memory from a life time other than the one I am living now as Rick Harrington".
I think that I am a different person than Jesus Christ,.. but that I may be doing the same job that he was doing here on Earth.
Today for work I worked on my whole house remodel project preparing bead board ceilings for painting, sanding trim and patching walls.
I saw American Idol last night. It was another night where one of the girl singers sounded Great on my TV,.. but none of the judges thought so. Making me think again that it may sound a bit different live.
Tonight I don't have anything different than the usual planned. I'll shower and cook dinner for the cats and then watch American Idol again.
The thing I learned new today is that my laptop computer has a problem that's causing it to crash. Go into blue screen mode,.. and then have to recover from it. Looks like it's a driver of some kind that could be causing it.
Not a good thing to happen if you've been writing things down for hours but never saved any of it,... because once it crashes all your unsaved work has to be completely re-done.
Every time that happens to me it reminds me that I should be saving things much more often.

Tuesday, April 1, 2008
Yesterday I wrote that I can't speak for God when it comes to him/her being able to create food for us someday. It's because I haven't been told anything about that and I have never seen anything created out of thin air before either.
I can say what I have heard though,... and I can also say that the things I'm writing today have nothing to do with April Fools day.
I've heard that before there was any other life forms out there in the Universe that there was only one life form. "The Universe itself". And if you imagine the Universe itself sitting out there with nothing else in it but itself sitting out there alive and in the blackness of himself/herself,... it's like he/she had to learn how to create things in some way. And like he/she had to learn how to give life to others as well.
Because there are things sitting,.. and even moving,.. out in the Universe now,... and there are a lot of life forms here on Earth.
Also,.. I've heard that,.. like it's already a done deal,.. if I get rid of the problem here and that's in me,... I will grow taller. And I've been led to believe that,.. yes,.. God can fix my teeth at that time too. Which sounds better than going to the Dentist to me,.. because I figure there will be no pain involved along with having real teeth instead of false teeth.
The problem here along with what my job is.
The problem is that there is another God here that has taken control of giving life to us due to Jealousy of our God. And by taking control of us it causes "need" in us.
Which is where my job comes in. And I've heard that it's "the only way". Although I do think I know of one other way,... which is,.. "the jealous God to just leave on his own".
Anyway,.. My job is to go without food and drink and everything for as long as it takes to cause the jealous God to need himself/herself out of me and out of this world.
I don't know how long I will have to fast for. But I've fasted for over 50 days once and that wasn't long enough,.. so I'm figuring that I may have to fast for a long time at some point.
What I've heard about why a jealous God has taken us. I've heard that it's not about us. And that it's about,... for one way to put it,... a girl. For instance,.. say that our God is a boy,.. and that makes the jealous God a boy too. Our God got the girl that the jealous God wanted.
"Our Moon". The Moon that circles the Earth.
You can also turn the tables if you prefer making our God and the jealous God girls,.. and the Moon a boy.
I don't know what they are. I've been thinking like their all neutral,.. like their all the same,.. because I've heard that they are just like little or big blobs of oxygen. Lifeforms that look just about exactly like,.. so to speak,.. their maker,... (The Universe),... but smaller.
Which,.. I've thought that,... is exactly what we would be too if we were able to leave our body's and live as our soul alone.
And I say "so to speak" up there because I don't believe that the Universe is every bodies maker. I think the Universe gave everybody he created the ability to create life on their own,... just like we can here. Which would mean that our God's parent or creator could be Saturn for all I know.
I don't remember if that's something I heard or not,.. but what I did hear was that Saturn was the one that started our Galaxy. As if Saturn went off on his/her own at some point with maybe a mate,.. and decided to start a family (Galaxy) of his/her own.
And I think that's enough far fetched sounding stuff for today.
I think I'll add here though,.. that a long time ago,. back when I was writing my original couch writing in front of my living room TV,.. that there was one Man out in the real world that actually decided to say something to me regarding my couch writing.
He's a respected owner of a Construction company and an older guy than I am. He seemed to really like how I may of stopped a war from going on,.. or what I was doing back then that had to do with a possible war. Like he couldn't help himself but say something to me as if he was happy about it.
But it was the other thing that he said weeks later that is the reason I'm bringing this up,.. He said,.. "Be careful,.. a lot of people believe you out there".
Ok... And what I can say about that today for me is,... I am being careful,.. I'm doing it in the way I word things. I'm not saying that I know of a lot of the things I've said above to be true,.. a lot of them are just things I've heard.
I believe it to be true that we have a God here at our Earth and that there is a Jealous God here too. I believe it to be true because not only have they both talked to me, but I've also been moved,.. I've been kept from moving and I've also been stopped from writing things.
Like,.. all of a sudden my mind goes blank as if someone is keeping me from saying what I'm about to say.
To tell ya the truth,.. I've been thinking for a long time that nobody needs to know about what I'm doing with this God like stuff. Like I could just do my job,.. get it done with,.. and nobody even needs to know who did it.
Personally I think that one of the best ways for people to learn about God is from seeing and hearing real things that God is making happen. Through things that are real.
I didn't even believe in God for my first,.. probably 26 years of life. Because I didn't know. I didn't know until I was really and truly shown evidence that there is one.
To me it was always like there is no God around here. Like all of us and the bugs and fish and animals are the only life forms around.
Because I tend to go by the things I see,.. and things that are real,.. and things that are true.
Now days though,... I am seeing a reason for me to be talking about some of this stuff. And it's because of the fasting I've been doing along with people not allowing it. And I can't prove any thing on my own that I know of,... but what I can do,... is I can fast for a long time,... I can go without food, drink and everything for a long time. Longer than I've heard other people can.
I've never been religious,.. and have never read the bible or any bible,... but if I remember right,... from what I heard,... from people and maybe stories on TV that there may of been one other guy that could fast for a long time. And I've been thinking that his name is Jesus Christ.
I've thought that,.. I bet he is where religious like fasting originated,.. and that some people have been doing it ever since just because he did.
Which I don't see as a bad thing really,.. because it should be able to make fasting for Me an OK thing.
And I'm thinking right now that maybe there's one thing that people may need to know about my fasting for this purpose. I may have to go through a hyperventilating state at the end of my fasting,... a state like some people go through right before they die. I saw my Granny go through it while she was lying on a hospital bed right before she died.
If I do,.. I don't believe there's anything to worry about with me,.. it will be the jealous God about ready to need himself/herself out of me.
"I WONT NEED ANY FOOD SHOVED DOWN ME AT THAT TIME,... AND I WONT NEED ANY IV NEEDLES IN MY ARM EITHER". IF PEOPLE PUT ANYTHING IN ME AT THAT TIME IT WILL BE PROLONGING WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH. GIVING TO THE JEALOUS GODS NEED,.. AND POSSIBLY KEEPING HIM/HER IN ME.
I'll be able to have foods again sometime after I know that I'm free of him/her.
See,.. I went through like a trial run of fasting and hyperventilating that led me to what I call my real life days back when I was 23 years old. I fasted not knowing why,.. then one day I thought,... is anything going to happen or what,.... and then I heard,... "you can have as long as you don't want for anything". And then it may of been a Month later when I just started hyperventilating after work one day.
I kept telling people that I don't want to go to the hospital,... but late that night,.. or maybe it was morning already,... people got worried and called my girl friend,.. and she ended up taking me to the hospital.
I hyperventilated up until it felt like my heart stopped there lying on the hospital bed,.. and I looked up at the Doctor and said,. "My heart just stopped",... the look in his eyes kind of looked like jealousy to me,.. and then he turned and looked at his monitor and said,.. "no it didn't,.. look at the screen".
And I turned and looked at it as it looked like he was right,... but something did happen,.. because my hyperventilating stopped.
Today for work I worked on my major whole house remodel project preparing bead board on ceilings and door and window trim for painting.
Now that I'm home,.. I've gotta do my daily work notes,.. then I'm going to have a shower and cook a nice dinner for the cats. And then I'm gonna watch American Idol.
I don't remember learning anything new today,... not yet anyway...

Monday, March 31, 2008
So today the subject of food came to mind again as if it's something that I should talk about here. It came to mind last Friday too,.. but didn't seem like an important subject that day.
But the reason I think that maybe it is an important subject for me to be talking about is that some people may not like this situation due to the fact that they may think they might have to become vegetarian some day if there is a real God around here.
I see it all the time how people didn't really want to go along with God on the food thing. A while after that one Thanksgiving I was working for a woman in Redlands California,.. and her and her daughter just got a new barbecue,... and she was talking about it with me in a way as if she wanted to know if it was alright if she used it.
She let me know as she was doing that,.. that she knows something about me.
And not long ago I watched a woman newscaster saying how she's just going to stick with her Fish and Chicken. Letting me know that with her too,... she didn't care to go along with that food thing.
Then recently I watched a girl on TV say that she would like to learn how to cook a Turkey. Which surprised me a little because I thought I heard that she thought that out of me and her,... "she's going to be the one going along with God's wishes".
The way I see it,... God's wishes on the food subject,... are about the killing and hurting that takes place in order for us to eat some foods.
And I think it's probably Ok to eat something after it dies naturally. But that seems a bit morbid,.. and it seems like some people may not be eating meats if it happened in that way.... I don't know...
I can't speak for God on how things will be if he/she is able to have his/her World here without the problem that is here. The one that causes need in us. The one that,... well,.. my job is to get rid of from here.
I can't speak for God there because I don't know how he/she will be. I do think though that we are just a bunch of innocents down here that acquired a problem that causes lots of pain, suffering and even death. This may be the first place where death ever occurred from the way I'm seeing things. And here's one way to look at that,... It wouldn't be right to be a God and give life to others in a way where their lives depend on yours if your going to die. Because when he/she dies every body else will die too. Oxygen,.. no matter where we go,.. under water,.. out in space,... we've got to bring it with us to breath or else we'll die.
Anyway,... I don't know what God will do if he/she is able,.. but here's one thought I had back when I became vegetarian...
"When it's possible to create meats instead of having to kill or wait for something to die in order to eat them,... I will be able to eat all those foods I use to like again. Like hamburgers,... hot dogs,... fried chicken,... etc....
And I can say what I thought of doing if I was God and was able,... I'd just create the meats right into the supermarkets exactly like they look now giving people no reason to be killing for food anymore.
Except for those few that don't go to the grocery store,... I don't know,.. people who hunt for their food,.. or farmers with live stock,... which I could just create their foods right into their refrigerators and freezers,... or even be real obvious about it and create it right on their kitchen table before their eyes for them.
I don't know,... but for the people who may be worried about the food issue,... all I can really say here is,.. I don't think it's going to be a problem. I don't think your going to have to become a vegetarian now or later.
I think that it's the killing that's bad,... not the eating. We were created with the ability to eat things,... so eating is OK...
I don't think this situation is about turning the world into a vegetarian place,.. I think the food issue is about the killing and hurting that's taking place.
Our World here just may be the only place in the whole Universe where beings that are alive,... die.
The Universe,.. a place so large that it goes on forever,.. thus life lasts forever...
That's what I've heard anyway....
Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch project all day caulking and patching wood work.
And now that I'm home I've gotta finish my daily work notes for the day,.. then I'll have a shower,... fix dinner for the cats and go to bed.
I don't remember learning anything new today.
Oh,.. I recently put my FXhome Composite lab pro software over on my Windows XP computer and I was able to de-green screen my Oingo Boingo Dead Mans Party video that I made last year now. Looks like the video turned out OK this time and I'll put it in my All Video Player later this evening. It'll be on top dated with today's date.
That Composite Lab Pro software works better in Windows Xp. Took half the time to de-green screen a video in XP compared to Vista.

Well,... today didn't go as fast as yesterday did.
Today I finished one load of laundry. I did some online banking and paid some bills. I've updated my web sites and fixed dinner for the cats.
And I de-green screened a couple videos that I put in my All Video Player today. Their the 2 on top dated with today's date. My favorite out of all those is take 2 and it's like I really didn't need to bother with those 2 I put in there today. I do like take 4 Ok too though.
I think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight. Probably be in there by 7:00pm.
And I don't recall learning anything new today.

Man,... my day sure went fast.
I started making videos at some point and next thing ya know the day was gone.
I was able to finish 2 loads of laundry and go to the grocery store too though.
And I fixed a little dinner for the cats and a snack burrito for myself.
One thing I learned new today was how lighting can affect a green screen background in a video. The lighting can change the color of the green background making it so I can't de-green screen it without having to take extra steps in each frame of the video.
Oh,.. I put 3 new videos in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page today. Their all the videos on top dated with today's date.
And I've got 2 more too,... but their still going through the green screening process. So I'll probably put them in here tomorrow.

Another song that I've been thinking about not singing is a Tears For Fears song called "Everybody Want's To Rule The World".
I've got it on Karaoke,.. and I think I can have a voice for it maybe,... but just from the title alone,... "Everybody Wants To Rule The World"....
I don't believe that's true.
I don't want to rule the world. And have never had an interest to do so.
Today for work I worked on my exterior front porch project just scraping and caulking wood work.
And now that I'm home my chores are all finished for the day,.. and I'm thinking about going to bed early tonight.

A couple more things about me, fasting and hospitals.
One time that I was taken to the hospital because I was fasting, the doctors there told me
that if I don't start eating they're going to shove a tube down my throat and force feed me.
That don't work for the type of fasting I'm doing. That's giving to the need. And I might as
well just eat if I'm going to be subjected to that kind of treatment. Eating instead of having a tube of food shoved down my throat would be doing something I like as opposed to having something done to me that I don't like.
Another thing they did at the hospital,... is they stuck an IV needle into my arm and caused a water solution to go through my veins. That is also giving to the need. And it don't work for the type of fasting that I'm doing.
Again,.. if I'm going to be subjected to that kind of treatment,... I might as well just eat.
And then I'm back to the thought where I really need to be doing this fasting somewhere where there are no people.
It's real what I'm doing. I wouldn't live my life that way if I had any doubts about it.
I probably would of never fasted in my life,.. if I never had this reason I have to be doing it.
So,.. from my last stay at the hospital because I was fasting. People may of heard that I told them I was fasting to cleanse my body. Which could of been thought of as a lie maybe. But now that I think about it,... it's exactly what the end result is supposed to cause.
"The cleansing of my body of what's causing it to need."
I came up with that in the hospital because I thought I had to come up with something that didn't make me sound like a crazy person.
Talking a bunch of far fetched sounding stuff in there may of caused them to just keep me there.
I mentioned a long time ago in my original couch writing that getting rid of my problem could take something like 20 years in time.
I was going to write 15 years down back then when I wrote that. But I wasn't allowed to. I wasn't allowed to write 15,.... but it was OK to write 20.
I've gotten the impression that the truth is that nobody knows how long it really takes because it has never been done before.
And have thought that the last guy that was doing this was doing it for 15 years, but didn't get to 20 before he died.
I saw American Idol last night. I like that Chikeezy guy that was eliminated from the competition last night. He impressed me with one of his performances. And he comes across as a great guy too. Acts as if he has no prejudice.
I've gotten the real impression that our souls here are clear in color. Like the color of oxygen.... Every one of us,.. bugs, animals, fish,... humans, etc.
So if it was possible for us all to come out of our bodies we would all look the same. No skin color no more.
Like although here on Earth were all different with our looks, personalities and all the things we know and lived through,... deep down were really all the same.
Like,.. if we could live as our soul alone,.. we would all look the same.
I'd say that one way to give ourselves "looks" to where we could tell each other apart would be to create something to give ourself looks,... like say,... a planet. Then we could decorate them how ever we like,.. and then we could always know who were talking to by "looks".
And that's enough far fetched sounding stuff for now I think.
The guy that sang Queen's We Are The Champions sounded great last night.
That's a song that I think I could probably sing one day,.. but I don't think I ever will.
"It's because it's like the song places too much importance on winning."
Seems like to me that when it becomes important to win the game,.. it can take all the fun away from playing it.
Today I worked on my exterior front porch project again just scraping and patching exterior wood work.
Now that I'm home,.. I've got an invoice for a job to make up,.. and I'm going to get cleaned up and head over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and have me a good dinner.
It's sex time for the cats,... so most of them haven't been all that hungry lately. I just put out some milk for them last night because none of them were around for dinner.
And that will probably be about it for my evening tonight. One thing I learned this morning is that I don't think this karaoke remove the vocals software is the ideal way to make karaoke music. I've tried 2 songs so far,... and it didn't do a very good job of removing the vocals both times.

Wednesday, March 26, 2008
Today I've got something to say to the people who know me and about me.
Lately I've been getting the impression that I have another job to do in life.
And it's a job that requires "fasting"... (Going without food and drink and everything for long periods of time).
Because,.... "in order to get rid of something that needs,... I need to not give it anything". I need to not give it what it needs.
Now,.. fasting is not a good life for me. I consider it to be a worse life than the one I live now. And for anybody that's been staying up with my dailies,.. you may already know that I'm not that crazy about life now.
It hasn't been what I consider to be a good life being me. Especially for the past 20 years.
Ok,... so there has been things about fasting that I haven't liked at all in the past. And the one that stands out the most is that "people put me in the hospital when I fast".
I don't want to go to the hospital at all for this. I remember one time I was taken to the hospital for fasting I was standing in a hall way in the hospital, and this woman was walking past me. She stopped because she noticed that my face wasn't shaved and she looked into my eyes and said "YOU NEED TO SHAVE".
I'm just looking back at her and saying nothing. She says,.. "YES,.. YOU NEED TO SHAVE NOW." And then she turned and yelled to someone,... "SOMEBODY GET THIS GUY A RAZOR,... HE NEEDS TO SHAVE."
If I didn't mind being in that hospital,... "I WOULD OF MADE THEM SHAVE ME". Or maybe I should say,.. I wouldn't of shaved and they would of had to shave me themselves if they would of took it to that point.
Not that it matters,... but it was the way that she told me that I had to do it,... that just,... well,... "I did not like AT ALL". If she would of asked me to shave and explained to me as to why,.. I would of been more OK with it.
So when it comes to people putting me in the hospital for fasting,... it has me thinking that it would be best for me to do my fasting somewhere where there are no people.
Another problem with fasting for me is,... I'm going to take off work in order to do it. And the problem with that is,... I'm not making money to pay my bills. So I need to save money in order to fast for long periods of time.
And I think I'll add here that "they also charged me money to be in that hospital the last time they forced me into one for fasting". I had over a $1,000.00 dollar hospital bill that I had to pay.
It had me thinking that if you people think I need to be in the hospital that bad,.. that you should be paying the bill too.
I guess that covers the main things about fasting that I haven't liked.
And here is the only thing about fasting that I have liked,... "It makes my stomach nice and thin".
Of course,... every thing else gets very thin too.... My butt gets so thin that it's like I'm sitting on bones. And it's uncomfortable to sit on any hard surface when it's like that.
I'm not sure when I'm going to fast next. And I don't know where I'm going to go in order to do it either. I'd choose to stay in the comfort of my home if I didn't have people coming around and bothering me about it. But I think this next time I'm going to go somewhere else.
And in closing on that subject,.. I'm just giving the people who know me here some warning that fasting is going to be a job that I'm going to have to start doing again.
Today for work I patched and caulked exterior wood work on my exterior front porch project.
And now that I'm home I've got a bill to make up,... I'll have a shower in a little bit,.. then fix dinner for the cats and then I'm gonna watch American Idol.
I thought it was good last night.
"A Little something for other people that fast"...
In my experience with fasting,.. it can take between 2 and 3 weeks for a person to die from going without any food and drink.
I'm small and fairly thin though,... a person with more body weight may be able to live longer. (More in ya for your body to feed off of).
I don't know...
But I'm saying this because I remember saying something in my original couch writing that was like I was telling people they can fast like I do.
And maybe you can,.. but as soon as you "want for something" it will be possible to die again.
So what I'm saying here is,.. I probably should of never said what I wrote back then about other people fasting,... because it's possible that you may die from it.
I'm getting help to not die,... and that's why I can go much longer than 2 to 3 weeks without any food or drink.

Today as I was driving out of the Lowe's parking lot to go to the job site I passed a,... I think it was Hollywood Video store,... and I saw a picture of a new movie on their window there.
It made me remember how the last movie I saw of his,... I thought his picture on the cover of the DVD box was the funniest part of the movie.
I don't knock him or the movie though,... because I think the very same thing could happen to me if I was an actor.
Today for work I removed and installed exterior window frames on my upstairs remodeling job. Which,.. that part of this job is all finished now,.. so I think I'll start calling this job my exterior front porch project.
Then I came home showered and fixed dinner for the cats.
And now I'm just kind of in waiting for American Idol to come on.
I don't remember learning anything new today,... but I've got this karaoke software that is supposed to take a song and remove the vocals from it that I may try out,... so I may learn something there.

Today for work I just worked on my upstairs remodel project again caulking and patching exterior wood work.
Time just flew by today.
Now that I'm home I've showered, fixed dinner for the cats, did my daily work notes and tried out a couple softwares called Personal Guitarist,... and iChords2.
And now it's nearly 8:00pm here and I think I'm about ready to hit the hay.
I heard an old Julian Lennon interview on KLOS radio this morning that was pretty cool.
So I got to know him a little bit today. He came across in a good way.

Today I didn't have as busy a day as yesterday. But still,.. with the things I did do,.. I've been busy all day.
Let's see here,.. today I cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and I went out and got a couple Papa John's pizza's. Decided to try his thin crust and his pan pizza. And we all had pizza tonight,... even the Cats and Dog.
And I spent a little time attempting to make my own color coded folders for my computer. For some reason though,.. no matter what size I make the icons,.. they won't show as Large or Extra large folders in Windows Vista. They'll only view as Medium or Small icons,... (folders).
And then I guess it was the singing that I did that took up most my time today. And I did make a few videos that I'm going to put in All Video Player that's on my Video Archives page.
They'll be dated with today's date,.. Vision Of Love - take 2 and 5.
It's been the hardest Mariah Carey song that I've tried to sing so far.
Hardest one for me anyway...
Oh,.. and I went and did a little grocery shopping today too.

Saturday, March 22, 2008
Today I did 4 loads of laundry. I went to the bank and deposited a check.
I did some online banking and paid all my bills. I mowed the lawn.
I did a little singing. I fixed dinner for the cats and also made myself a bean and cheese burrito with sour cream.
Funny,... as I was eating it,.. I got the idea to have a Papa John's Pizza. And since I heard that his business may be in trouble,.. not doing so well,.. I think I'll go and try me one of his pizza's tomorrow.
He seemed like an Ok guy on his TV commercials. Like a young guy that started his own Pizza company.
I've had thoughts about starting my own fast food place or restaurant.
And I guess that's all I did today. It don't seem like much,... but it kept me busy all day today.

Today I had some thoughts on sex come to mind that I decided to jot down.
I remember a girl once saying to a guy,... "Do you guys always have to be thinking about sex".
He thought about it for a few seconds and answered her in an honest serious about it like manner with "Yes".
Today I thought,... here's one thing about that,... for a person that likes beer,... or say,.. wine,.... well,.. that person can have a beer or some wine most any time they like.
But when it comes to "sex",... sex may not come around very often at all.
For work today I worked on my upstairs remodel project caulking and patching siding and exterior wood trim.
And now that I'm home I'm thinking I might just go to bed early tonight.

Today for work I finish painted some patch work in a Hall Bath room on one job then I went over to my upstairs remodel project again and caulked exterior siding and wood work.
Then I came home, showered, fixed dinner for the cats and then went out to dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
Dinner was great and I'm feeling extra stuffed tonight. I had Fettuccine Alfredo, Cavolini (Brussels sprouts), Spinaci and some new potato dish that I just saw on their menu for the first time.
And that's about it for my day today,... I think I might get to go to bed early tonight.
I saw American Idol last night. And the girl that lost last night,... I thought she was good. She seemed to have a unique voice to me.
Seems to me that even a person that is already a singing star could enter that competition along with a group like they have now and end up losing.
I like how their bringing back singers from past shows and letting them sing. It's kind of like their a family of sorts and their helping their own.

Today for work I worked on one job patching and priming a Hall Bath room then I wen't over to another job where I continued patching and caulking their exterior front porch area.
Now that I'm home I finished all my normal chores and it's just about time for American Idol to come on again. It's on a little late for me tonight,.. I'm supposed to leave early for work tomorrow,... but I'm gonna tune in for a little while anyway.
Last night there was one guy for sure where he sounded great on my TV,.. but all the judges didn't necessarily like his singing for some reason.
Maybe it sounds different Live.
I saw a TV commercial last night that made me think they could of been thinking of me a little bit. It was an add for a show where a girl is being asked to carry some other girls baby,... and she said something like,... "I don't wan't the baby to turn out buck tooth and cross eyed".
I don't know.
I did put some of my old talk videos into My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page today. I put them all on the bottom in the video player.

Today I worked on my upstairs remodel project from last year again, just caulking and patching siding and handrails and all the wood work on the exterior front porch area.
There was one more song that I sang yesterday while I was dressed up like a girl and I decided to put it in My All Video player today. It's the video on top labeled with today's date: Mariah Carey's - Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) - dressed up like a girl version.
And now that I'm home from work I'm just going to finish my normal chores and watch American Idol then go to bed.

Well,.. I got this idea yesterday to dress up and make some videos after work today. I figured that it was going to take up some time. I was thinking at least an hour.
But now it's been 4 and a half hours and I'm still working with these videos.
Looks like it's going to take me about 5 hours to get them all finished... Next time I get the idea to dress up for videos I'm going to do it on one of my days off from work.
Today for work I worked on my upstairs remodel project from last year. And I'm preparing the exterior front porch area for painting now.
There's going to be 5 new videos in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page for today. They're all dated with today's date,.. Paula Abdul's - Straight Up - takes 1-5.
I'm going to be showering and fixing dinner for the cats when it's usually my bed time tonight.

Today was a bit of a busy day.
I didn't end up doing much of anything but computer stuff yesterday, so I had to do all my other chores today.
I had to cook up a crock pot of food for the cats and I cooked them a nice dinner... I finished 2 loads of laundry.
I went grocery shopping... I did some Online banking and paid all my bills.
I showered and shaved and also made some singing videos. And I did some computer stuff today too. My new computer couldn't get an internet connection at all this morning,... so I had to fix that.
I made a video of myself singing Mariah Carey's Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme) today and I put it in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page.
I sang that song better today than I did Months ago,... so it seems like I may be able to sing that song some day.
Like I may be able to get even better at it.
That's one of my favorite songs of hers.

Today I fiddled with my new computer for a lot of the day.
I was able to install my MBox and Pro Tools on that computer. Man,.. that Pro Tools is one of the very hardest to learn softwares I've come across.
But I finally figured out how to get it to record again,.. and then finally got it to play sound also... For some reason it won't play it's sound through the computer speakers. I'm not sure why,.. but I got it to play sound through my Amplifier so I think that will do.
Then I attempted to get my own web server configured but had no luck today in getting it to show anything through the internet... Seems like it would be easier to just buy me another internet connection instead of having to deal with all these Network settings.
Then I decided to make a couple videos. I made a couple practice like videos singing Mariah Carey's Thank God I Found You and put them in My All Video player that's on my Video Archives page.
One of the problems I have with singing now days is my mouth waters while I'm singing. That's what was happening today. Like,.. I need to swallow,... but I can't because I'm busy singing,... so I just have to try to position my mouth in a way where I can hold the saliva and sing at the same time.
And then I've cooked a nice dinner for the cats and tried for the first time one of those frozen style California Pizza Kitchen pizza's.
I think I might go to bed early tonight. It hasn't really been the greatest of day's today.

Today on my drive home from work the name Iggy Pop came to mind and I thought,... I like his name... And it caused me to start thinking about a show biz name for myself... Here's a few more names that I like too,... Tom Cruise,... Chevy Chase,... Gene Wilder...
The first name that came to mind for myself,... and I actually kind a like it too,.. is Zack Wild.
But I like it better spelled like this,.. Xak Wild.
And I also think I'd add a middle name to it,... Xak Cornelius Wild,... but probably drop the middle name like John Mellencamp did.
I never really thought of changing my name before for like show biz reasons,... like I was just figuring I'd probably just use my own name,... but I do like the very first name that popped into my mind for myself.
Today for work I worked on exterior patching and caulking of siding and overhangs again.
Watching American Idol the last couple times has had me thinking of singing Beatles songs lately. So when I got home today I sang a couple Beatles songs.
I made 2 videos that I decided to put in My All Videos player that's on my Video Archives page. They're the 2 on top dated with today's date.
And here it is Friday night again. I've still gotta go in and fix dinner for the cats and I've got this new computer that arrived today by mail that I may power on for the first time tonight.
It will be my web site server computer if I can make that happen.

Thursday, March 13, 2008
Today when I got home from work I made a few videos. I got the idea to sing this song from listening to KLOS radio this morning.
I put the videos in My All Videos player that's on my Video Archives page,.. and they're Alice Cooper's - I'm Eighteen - take 1 and 2...
Today for work I worked at my whole house remodel project caulking and patching siding and overhangs.
When I came home I made an Invoice up for a job and made those Alice Cooper videos and now I'm just about ready to go have a shower and get ready to go out and have dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
I thought American Idol was good last night. When I learned that it was on at 9:00pm instead of 8:00pm I could of easily chose to go to bed instead of staying up to watch the show,.. but I went ahead and stayed up.
Seems to me that for some of those singers there,... "song choice" could make difference in how they do.
I mean like in picking a song that suits them well.

Today while listening to KLOS radio they inspired me to sing some AC-DC.
So when I came home from work today I made a video of it. I put it in My
All Videos player that's on my Video Archives page on top dated with today's date.
Today for work I painted concrete foundation and stem walls again and patched and touch up painted exterior siding.
Tonight I'm just gonna do my usual chores and I think I'll watch American Idol again.
I thought last night's American Idol was a pretty good one. I wasn't planning on staying for the whole 2 hour show,.. but I did anyway.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Listening to KLOS radio today inspired me to make a few more videos of The Beatles song called Come Together. I put 3 new videos in my All Videos player that's on my Video Archives page today. They're all on top and dated with today's date.
They were talking about concerts they've been to and liked on the Mark and Brian show today... I haven't been to many concerts myself. And most the ones I went to I was more busy thinking about girls than I was in watching the concert.
I saw Eddie Money in concert once. He looked different than he did on his album cover. And I remember that one of the girls that came with us I kind of liked,.. and I was thinking about her during that concert. I don't remember any of the band's performance.
We went to see Abba once specifically to meet girls. I don't remember even seeing the band that night.
We stepped into the end of a Cheap Trick Concert once and I remember seeing them but I don't remember hearing anything they were playing. I think I may of been thinking about girls again.
We went to a concert to see The Alarm once. I was 23 years old and in the good life when I saw this concert. And I remember them and heard them too. I think this concert was one of the best I ever seen. It was at this concert that it appeared that the band noticed us for some reason. Like they spotted us out of the crowd.
And a year or so later I remember seeing a video that they made that made me think they could of been talking about me in that video... I don't know.
Then we went and saw The Cure one night. I don't remember hearing them at all,.. but I do remember that we were so far away from them that we could hardly see them... I don't remember thinking about girls during this concert,.. but I was already in problem life during this one.
And then we went and saw Oingo Boingo one night. I remember seeing them and hearing them. Danny Elfman said somethin like,.. if you don't stop throwing things up here were going to stop this concert. I was in problem life during this concert and wasn't thinking about girls,.. didn't stay at the concert very long. Seems like I may of only saw them perform one or two songs.
Once I got into problem life I didn't care to dance anymore and just really didn't get into music all that much anymore.
And the last concert like performance I saw was Jim Belushi's band. I don't remember what they were called. But I watched their concert and wasn't thinking of girls that night. Actually I wasn't doing so well that night. Problem life was bothering me. I wasn't feeling so right and my facial expressions were feeling F'd up.
But I liked their concert. They put on a show and sounded great too.
On to another subject here... They were also talking about how people talking on cell phones in restaurants can bother some people today on the radio. And what I thought was and is,... if the person that's talking on the cell phone,.. if his or her speaking volume is about the same as it would be if they were talking to someone standing or sitting across or next to them that it ought to be OK.
For work today I patched and painted exterior concrete foundation walls and stem walls.
Then when I came home I made a few videos, did my work notes and had a shower. I've gotta go in and fix dinner here in a little bit,.. and then I think I'm gonna check out the American Idol show that's on tonight.

My day isn't done yet,... but I made a video when I came home from work today and I've put it in My All Videos player on my Video Archives page.
I got the idea to put Brad Pitt's name into it as I was singing it on my drive home.
His name has been coming to mind lately as if he may have some work for me or something... I don't know,... but I did hear that he met my brother.
And the actor's name Dennis Miller just fit's real well into that song too.
I didn't think of any girls names to throw in there today,... but I thought it might be a cool song to sing at a party along with throwing peoples names into it who are at the party.
Oh,.. the video is on top labeled: 3-10-2008 Brad The Knife (Mack The Knife with a couple name changes).
That song isn't always the easiest song to sing for me in that high tone. The ending of the song can be where I can easily mess up these days. I like it in that high tone though.
While listening to the radio this morning they were talking about John Wayne movies... And ever since I made a page of my favorite movies in my web site here,.. everytime I hear them talk about John Wayne movies it makes me think of how I didn't put any of his movies in my favorite movies page.
I think I've seen a few John Wayne movies, but I don't remember them. What I do remember is just a few scenes from John Wayne movies. One of them I didn't like at all.
It was a scene where I think it was Daniel Stern killed John Wayne. And it was like they decided to make the bad guy win in that movie for some reason.
They also talked about Clint Eastwood and James Dean movies on the radio today too. I know I've seen and have liked a lot of Clint Eastwood movies, but I don't think I've ever seen a James Dean movie before.
Today for work I worked on my whole house remodel project patching and priming concrete foundations and stem walls.
And now that I'm home I don't plan on doing much this evening... I've still gotta cook dinner for the cats and then my day will be about finished.
And soon I'm gonna have to get up out of bed and go back to work.
I remember one time in my past where the phone rang at around 9:00pm and I was already in bed sleeping.
I got up thinking it was the alarm clock and went to work. I was half way to Orange county by the time I realized what time it was.
Think I got to work about 8 or 9 hours too early that day.

Sunday, March 9, 2008
Let me see here,.. I did a bunch of things today and now I've gotta remember what they were...
Well,.. I made a few videos this morning that I'm going to put in My All Videos player that's on my Video Archives page tonight... And I also put a video in there that I made yesterday.
I'm going to put the new videos in there on top and then if I decide to keep them in there I'll later put them in alphabetical order with the others.
I took my Great Uncle grocery shopping this morning,.. then I came home and put away my groceries.
I mowed the lawn and cleaned up the back of my new work van a little bit.
I cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner.
And I finished a load of laundry and had a shower.
Today I learned that today is daylight savings time change day.
And I think that's about it for my day today... Think I may go to bed early and then I've gotta get up and go to work in the morning.
My old web server sure isn't playing my videos very well. The videos are constantly having to stop and buffer on my computer. My first server was the best server I've tried for playing my videos up until now... It's like I got put onto a busier server this time or something.
I don't know...

Today I had to go and get my tax's prepared. It was a good year on tax's for me. I over paid them so I'm getting a pretty good refund this year.
And I did a bunch of laundry today and fixed dinner for the cats.
I did some online banking and paid all my bills,... and I've worked on getting my videos back to playing again here in my site.
I'll probably have My All Videos Player on my Video Archives page working again some time tonight.

I saw American Idol again last night.
I liked that American Idol guy from last year that they let sing a song. Liked his singing style and moves. And I liked the song too,.. it sounded like a hit to me.
Today for work I went over to my whole house remodel project and primed exterior concrete foundation walls and stem walls.
Tonight I'm feeling like I'm starting to catch a bit of a cold or something. I have a sore throat developing,.. so I'm gonna go to bed early.

I watched American Idol last night.
People on TV can seem different than they use to be now days. I noticed it back on Dancing With The Stars too.
It's like people are feeling very free to just be themselves.
I see it as a good thing.
Though it can seem odd sometimes too.
Today for work I went to a job where I painted a closet and did some drywall work in a Hall bath room.
Tonight I learned that I like eating Fettuccine Alfredo with a spoon.
They always give me a spoon when I order Fettuccine Alfredo, but I've always chose to twirl it onto my fork like I do with Spaghetti.

Well,... it's cool to have my site up and running again today.
I've had to remove all my videos from my site. But I'm going to set up my old server so that I can still have some video eventually here.
The only thing about my old server though is,.. they only allow me 6 gigabytes of disc space,.. so I'm not going to be able to put very many videos in here.
I'm gonna get back to working on setting up my own server. It seems like an ideal way to go for me if I can do it. First I've gotta get me a new computer to run it on though. I don't wan't to run it off of my desk top computer or my laptop.
I saw American Idol last night. They've got some great sounding singers there. I think their all more up to par than I am.
I can be pretty happy with my voice at times,.. I don't always look so great,.. I don't feel the music at all anymore,.. so dancing is out of the picture,.. and I don't know all the words to a single song that I've sang so far.
And I don't trust my brain to remember them either. Due to experience. It's like I'm very narrow minded these days. I can remember 2 maybe 4 lines to a song and then when I go to sing the 5th line I'm back to singing the line I started with again. Like the words are on that revolving track in my mind.
I may think of the rest of the words later,.. but then it can be like,.. now I'm being denied access to those first lines I was singing.
I'm in Problem life,.. I've been in it for a long time now. Over 20 years.
Today for work I worked on my whole house remodel project painting exterior plaster and touch up painting siding.
When I got home I worked on deleting video files from my web site here,.. I've cooked a nice dinner for the cats,.. had a shower,.. did my daily work notes,... and now I'm getting ready to make up a bill for a job,.. and then later I think I'll check out American Idol again.
See how the girls do.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project again and today I touched painted walls and primed exterior plaster.
When I came home I did all my normal chores and started making changes to my web site here. My new web server doesn't allow enough room for me to have videos through them,.. so I'm having to make a bunch of changes.
And I'm sitting here getting ready to check out the American Idol show this evening and then I'm gonna go to bed.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project painting trim and doors and preparing exterior siding and trim for painting.
Then I came home and got started on making a bill for a job and cooked dinner for the cats.
And then I went to bed early... My web server here didn't get back to me about my site being suspended,.. and I forgot all about writing my dailies for the day, so now I'm sitting here on Tuesday morning doing it.
They've gotten back to me now though,... and wow,... I really chose the wrong server for playing video files. I'm going to have to remove all my videos from my site from this server in order to have my site up and running from here again.
I just didn't see the little tid bit of information that said something like,.. "your only allowed 10 percent space of the space that you occupy for video files" when I signed up here.
Which means that I would have to use 500 gigabytes for html pages in order to be able to use 50 gigabytes for video files.
I'm gonna have to put my videos on some other server if I'm going to be able to have videos.
Idealy I think what my site could use is a dedicated to my site only server that allows me to put as many videos as I like into my site. The cost of a dedicated server can be like paying a Monthly car payment in cost.
So I'm back to thinking I need to see if I can set up my own server. And temporarily I can set up my original web site server for playing some videos.
They only allow me 6 gigabytes of disc space though,... so I'm not going to be able to have many videos through them.

Today I did some weed eating around my house. And also went out and did some grocery shopping.
And I finished an estimate for work. Cooked a nice dinner for the cats. And made labels for some of my karaoke discs that didn't come with any.
I've written to support about my web site being down,.. but they seem to have the weekend off,.. so maybe I'll be able to get it up and running again tomorrow sometime.

Saturday, March 1, 2008
Well,.. today I woke up to find out my web site here has been suspended. It's something to do with my videos. Like they don't allow that many videos to be on my new server or something.
They're allowing plenty of disc space,.. but it's looking like the disc space is only allowed a small amount for video files.
Support hasn't gotten back to me on the issue yet. So I can't fix anything yet.
Today I spent a lot of time just researching all my options for web servers and back to the idea of being my own server again too.
Then I also did a couple loads of laundry, cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and fixed their dinner. I pulled some weeds around my back yard and also went out and got new tires installed on my Toyota truck.
I've had a headache most the day and I think I'm going to go to bed early tonight.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project painting doors and jambs and preparing exterior trim for painting.
When I got home I decided to put a video back into My Dirty Dailies,.. so I went ahead and updated that page a bit and put a new All Dirty Dailies Video player in there along with one of my old videos from the year 2006.
And I've done my daily work notes for today and fixed dinner for the cats and now my night is about finished already.
I don't remember learning anything new today. I had some negative thoughts going through my mind most the day and every time I'd stop thinking about them,.. more would come back.
Sometimes it's like my thoughts are on a revolving track,.. like,.. on to some new thoughts,.. and then shortly after,... here come those thoughts back around again.

I've mentioned in the past how my Dad and Mom were a lot like the Father and the Mother on the Wonder Years,... but I never did say anything about me and my brother.
I was a bit like Kevin's older brother Wayne,... but from what I remember, I didn't call my brother names other than his own.
I didn't do things with my brother much,.. and didn't really like him to be hanging around with me and my friends.
Like,.. he had his friends and I had mine. And I didn't hang around with him and his friends and he didn't hang around with me and mine.
As we got older and turned into adults things changed though,.. not like I choose to hang out with my brother a lot,.. but like my friends and his friends are all friends of mine and his.
I can't say that I know my brother real well,... now days he always comes across as pretty cool,... but what I'm getting at here is whether or not he was like Kevin on the Wonder Years when we were kids...
Well,.. I can say this,.. he was like Kevin in this way,... he's my younger brother. He was the younger brother just like Kevin was.
Today for work I worked on preparing and priming door jambs on my whole house remodel project.
This evening I went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a great dinner. My dinner was cooked perfectly tonight. I seemed to get Pomodoro spaghetti sauce instead of arribiatta sauce with my garlic bread this evening for some reason,... but it's OK,.. it still tasted good.
Then I watched American Idol when I got back.
Man,.. some of those singers that are going home tonight sure sounded good when they were singing tonight. I didn't catch their performances earlier in the week,... I forgot all about the show until today.
Like I've been busy with other things and haven't been watching much TV for a long time now.
Oh,.. I found an old video that I decided to put in My Dailies Talk Videos that's on my Video Archives page. In the video player it's the video that's dated 12-29-2006 Me cooking the cats dinner.

Today I worked on my whole house remodel project painting walls and preparing doors and jambs for painting.
Then I came home and did my daily work notes, had a shower and fixed dinner for the cats.
One thing that I learned new today was how to set up and use a feature in Network Magic called Net2go. It's a cool feature where I can set up a web site like area and share my folders from my computer with someone else,... or even leave my computer on so that I can access my shared folders from my laptop away from home.
I've had Network Magic for a long time but never bothered to try their net2go feature. But now that I've tried it,.. it's a very easy way to share folders and files with other people. And very easy to set up too.

Today I found myself thinking about "equality" for a little while.
Some folks tend to think of themselves as better than others. Kind of like they are a higher grade of lifeform.
But those same folks that believe in a God,... may think of God as a higher life form than they are.
Today I realized that all us lifeforms,.. like bugs, fish, birds, animals, humans, Gods and even the universe itself,.. as if it is the very first lifeform there ever was around here,..
that,... we are all equal in this way,... we are all lifeforms that are alive.
Figuring life itself as an entity we all have that in common.
The universe itself looks like it's a big clear mass of something. Strip every lifefoms body away, leaving just the brain of every life form. Every one of us would just be sitting still somewhere equally alive if that were possible.
If you take the brains away leaving just our souls, which I'll call a little blob of oxygen,.. then we would even look like the universe itself,.. which if the universe itself is alive along with us,... we would be a bunch of lifeforms that are alive and we all look the same.
Were all equally alive. We all have that in common. If all of us were the same size,.. the only difference between us and the universe is that The Universe is bigger than we are. And of course The Universe is probably older than we are too.
So now that we are all equally alive lifeforms and we all look the same,.. we wouldn't be able to think of any of us as a higher or lower grade of lifeform. Were all the same,.. equal to the fact that we are all alive.
I bet if it were possible to put a Dogs soul in a Human body that that Dog would be able to learn how to talk and do so.
I mean,.. I think that the reason we humans talk, but none of the other lifeforms here on Earth do,.. is due to the type of body style we have.
Another way all us lifeforms on Earth are equal is that we all have the ability to think for ourselves.
And I'm thinking that what I just wrote is going nowhere and maybe I should of just left it as a thought.
What these thoughts did for me today though was,.. it caused me to think of a God as my equal. As if we are both lifeforms that have the ability to think for ourselves. And what is right and true "is" right and true & what is wrong "is" wrong whether your your God or Me.
A God couldn't disagree with Me if he knew I was right about something.
But of course I do think that the God of our Earth here ought to be very wise due to the amount of time he/she has been alive.
Wiser than Me....
So if our God the Universe itself and all of us looked exactly the same and were all the same size too,... we would all be quite equal.
Say that none of us can move,... but we all have the ability to talk to each other...
There would be no hurting each other any more physically. And we would all be very equal like lifeforms with only our thoughts, words and personalities that can be used to think of one of us as better than thee other.
I personally don't think of myself as a higher grade of lifeform than say,.. a fly. I think that fly is a lifeform that is alive just like I am.
I don't like being bothered by flys... But I've become nicer about how I let them know over the past 8 years or so. They've got a very fragile body style compared to mine. Just like I have a fragile body style compared to an Elephant.
An adult Elephant could probably stomp Me dead if I chose to bother one.
I don't chose to bother Elephants though,.. so I don't know that I'll ever have that problem.
Today I worked on my whole house remodel project preparing door jambs for painting and changing the wall color of the dining room.
Then I came home and did my work notes and fixed dinner for the cats and time really flew by while I was thinking all that stuff out that I wrote above. My evening is about done already.
I don't remember if I've learned anything new today.

Today I worked on my exterior re-paint project just putting in some finishing touches and now I've got that job about finished.
Then I came home and did all my normal chores and now I'm about ready for bed.
Some of the things I learned today were about what I think of a few softwares that just tried out. Nothing really worth mentioning in detail...

Today I did a load of laundry,.. I did a little grocery shopping,.. I cooked up a crock pot of food for the cats and cooked them a nice dinner.
I did some online banking and paid my bills. I finished an estimate that I've been putting off for weeks.
And I had me one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizza's while I watched the Oscars.
I thought it was a good show. I thought their Host John Stewart did a good job and I like how he brought that musician girl that won an Oscar back out and let her have her say.
I thought Barbara Walters looked nice in her light yellow dress with the light blue jewelery after the show. I've always liked those 2 colors together like that,... ever since I saw a friend of mine wearing them back in my High School days.
Oh,.. one thing that I learned new today is that some girl subscribed to my videos that I put over in YouTube.
It was kind a cool for a guy like me to see... Some girl actually doing something like that towards me.

Today what I did mostly was,... I got my tax's all situated and figured out for last year.
Now all I've gotta do is make an appointment with my tax person and then go and have her finish my tax's for me.
Then I've also finished a couple loads of laundry and fixed dinner for the cats.
And now it's a little after 6:00pm here and I'm already thinking about going to bed.
That's about it for my day today. The things I learned new today were about how much tax I may have to pay.

I watched the show American Idol last night.
I liked it. I see that the judge Simon hasn't changed since the last time I watched the show.
But ya know,.. I think it's Ok. That's his opinion and I think it's Ok for him to be giving his honest opinion.
I liked that video that the judge Randy and Paula Abdul made. I thought the way they filmed it was pretty cool looking.
Today for work I went out and ordered some aluminum for a job and due to the rain I decided to come home. I had outside work to do and plenty of things I could be doing at home.
One of them is I've gotta get started on my Tax's for last year.
I made a few videos when I first got home today and put them in my Dailies for today. Their just a few more takes of Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick road.
I'm not sure if I sang it any better this time,.. but it looks like I caught myself looking a little better in this round.... To me anyway.
Today I learned that the Oscars is on this Sunday night.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."
Videos - me singing an Elton John song called "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road".

Today when I got home from work I wasn't really thinking so positively, but when I unlocked my office door I looked back behind me and saw a sight that just cracked me up.
It was the dog that lives at my house,.. Bobby,... he was chowing down on Cat sh_t on one end and hunched over and sh_tting on the other.
He really seems to like the Cat sh_t,... it's like it's a special treat for him or something.
And I don't mind,... I just don't want any of it on Me... He's a friendly licking type guy.
I reach down to say hello and avoid his tongue and tell him,... "I don't want no Cat sh_t on me"...
And if I leave the office door open and let him come in I'll say,... "we don't want no Cat sh_t in here".
There's something about being down then getting a real can't help but laugh upper sometimes. It can be such a noticeable difference in the way I'm thinking and feeling.
Today for work I worked on a house painting Master Bedroom closets and bathroom sink cabinets.
And now that I'm home I'm gonna go have a shower, fix dinner for the cats then go out to dinner myself over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
Think I'll check out that American Idol show tonight when I get back. I've seen the show a year or 2 ago once or twice.
And I don't think I've learned anything new today as of yet...
Man,.. while I was in the shower I thought of something that made me laugh while I had soap bubbles all over my mouth and I sucked those soap bubbles right into my mouth and wind pipe.
It's a bit like I just learned what it's like to get my mouth washed out with soap.
I remember being told somethin like,... "I'm gonna wash your mouth out with soap" back when I was a kid,... but I never did get that punishment.

Today I got a late start,.. woke up a little late.
But for work today I worked in Redlands California on 3 different jobs. On my exterior re-paint project I cleaned some door windows that had paint on them. On my major whole house remodel project I painted some rusty pipes that were connected to the Gas Meter. Then I went over to another job where I painted part of a closet and a wall and got started on preparing an exercise room for painting.
Now that I'm home I've cooked dinner for the cats and had a shower and I'm getting ready to go throw one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas in the oven for myself.
I'm kind of feeling burned out this evening and I think I'm gonna go to bed early.

I don't know yet,.. but I'm putting a couple videos in my dailies for today. It's the best I've been able to do with this song up til today,... which is an improvement from the last time I sang it.
A little practice really can help. Like with most anything else,.. the more you do it the better you get at it.
Ok,.. it's the end of my day here and I've gotta remember what it was that I did today.
Well,.. I did some singing earlier,.. and I did some laundry,.. cooked dinner for the cats.
I made up an Invoice for a job and did some Online banking,... payed my bills.
And I just watched a movie called Music and Lyrics with Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore in it.
A friend of mine recommended it to me after hearing some of my singing.
Sounded to me like Hugh Grant has a good voice for singing if he was the one doing his singing in that movie.

Seems like I just sat around most the day today.
I did make some music videos and put them in my Practice Videos today though. There's 2 of Elton John and Ki Ki Dee's Don't Go Breakin My Heart and 1 of a song called These Boots Are Made For Walkin.
I also did some shopping today. I went over to Target and got a few things,.. and went to Vons grocery store and Stater Brothers grocery store.
I've did some work paper work,... oh,.. and I'm working on finishing my second load of laundry.
And I've cooked a crock pot of food for the cats and also cooked them a nice dinner.
One of my Mom's cats has been coming over for dinner a lot lately and seems to like my cooking.
And I also had one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizzas for dinner tonight.

Friday, February 15, 2008
Today for work I worked on a job sanding and priming patched ceilings and walls and touch up painting exterior trim. And I also did some running around to a couple other jobs.
When I got home I got the idea to sing Elton John's Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word again,.. so I made a whole bunch of videos which I've decided to put 2 of them in my dailies for today and 2 more of them in my Practice Videos that's on my Video Archives page.
One thing about me though,... I don't remember ever having a problem saying that I'm sorry.
I also put a practice video of Elton John and Ki Ki Dee's Don't Go Breakin My Heart in My Practice Videos too.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."

Thursday, February 14, 2008
Today for work I had to turn in some bills on a couple jobs and then I worked the rest of the day on a job painting a hallway and doing some patch work in a bedroom and closet.
It was very crowded over at my restaurant Pomodoro Cucina Italiana tonight. I was reminded of Jack Nicholson in the movie As Good As It Gets as I sat in there,.. the only one with a table to myself and eating alone.
I got treated somewhat special tonight,.. as other people were waiting for a table,.. when I walked through the door they went and got me a table right away.
"That was nice of them". They were the busiest I've ever seen them tonight.
Think I only got something from a girl on Valentine's Day once in my life. It was back in 1st or 2nd grade. Some girl decided to give me a Valentine's Day card,... and it was special to me because "some girl decided to give Me a Valentine's Day card".
Back when my friends and other guys were saying "ooooo,... yuck,... a girl",... I wasn't playing those games,.... "I liked girls".
For a guy that's always liked girls,... I ended up being a guy that hasn't been with a girl or had a girl friend for over 20 years now.
I ended up being a guy that really hasn't had much of a life with a girl.

I don't know yet,.. I just got home from work.
But I do have a couple videos that I made yesterday that I'm gonna put in here now. Their both Wayne Newton's Danke Schoen, and I'm gonna put one of them in my Dailies for today and the other one in my Practice Videos.
Today for work I worked on my exterior re-paint project for part of the day and then I went to another job and did some miscellaneous patch work and touch up painting.
I had to make up Invoices for jobs when I got home. And that's what I've been busy with most my evening.
Today I learned that one of the people that's running for President of The United States is only a year older than I am.
Up until now I was thinking that I'm still too young to run for President.

Today for work I stayed home and spray painted an air conditioning return air grill or vent then I went out to my exterior re-paint project and painted trim for the rest of the day.
Then I came home sang a song, did my daily work notes, cooked dinner for the cats and had a shower.
I put a video in my Practice Videos this morning. It's on top dated with today's date,... "Your Mama Don't Dance". My karaoke disc doesn't say who sang the song originally,.. just gives the name of the song.
I'm not that crazy over the way I'm looking in parts of the video,.. but ya know,.. back in the Cave Man days,.. most everybodies teeth were eventually like mine.
I've found that if you find yourself the right kind of rock that you can grind them down a bit if you need to.

Today for work I had to go out to Moreno Valley, California and did some wall patching and re-texturing.
It was a girl that I know and consider to be a friend of mine. I walked in the door this morning giving her one of my CD's that I've made of my singing and looked down to the left of me and they had a karaoke maching sitting right there next to the door.
Her daughter is the singer.
After she heard a little bit of my singing she thought I might like Rod Stewart's new CD. I don't remember what it was called but there was 3 CD's,.. and I did like what I heard of them too.
Sounded like a Rod Stewart CD that I will buy. It was Rod Stewart singing old time songs like some of the songs I've been singing.
And that's about it for my day today. I've finished all my chores and I think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight.

This morning I'm putting some videos in my dailies for today. It's a cool new song that I found yesterday called "Love Letters In The Sand".
A cool "new to me song" that I don't remember ever hearing before.
Also I'm putting a new video in My Practice Videos,... it'll be on top labeled 2-10-2008 The Everly Brothers - Wake Up Little Susie.
I found out today that it's my Parent's 46th anniversary this year. 46 years that they've been married... I think they'll always be together. I mean,... I don't see any reasons why they would ever split up from each other.
Ok,.. this day is about over and I think I'll finish my dailies now.
Today I went down to the recycling center and turned in all my aluminum cans. I got 190 bucks for all those alumimum cans I had.
And I went down to Circuit City and got me a new alarm clock. One with a CD player. I was making CD's of my own music today and something didn't seem right about the way they were burning, but I didn't even have a normal CD player to try them out in.
So when I got the new CD playing alarm clock home and tried out one of the CD's I burned in it,... it wouldn't play... I later figured it out that Windows Media player was set for burning Data CD's instead of Audio CD's.
I burned about 10 CD's before I got it figured out.
And I've cooked a nice dinner for the cats and also had me one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizza's,.. and did a bunch of computer stuff too.
I also made a new video of "Sixteen Candles" acapella version and I put it in with the other 2 Sixteen Candle videos that are in the video player on February 9th in my Dailies.
It's also in my All Videos Player on my video archives page too. It's labeled The Crests - Sixteen Candles - acapella - February 2008.

Videos - me singing a Pat Boone song called "Love Letters In The Sand".

It's Saturday morning here right now and I'm just putting a couple videos in my Dailies for today while I'm sitting here busy on my computer...
And now it's about 5:30pm here and I've got a Crock Pot of food cooking for the cats and have just finished folding a load of laundry and also made a new video that I just added to today's videos.
Ok,.. I've had about enough of this day,... think I'm gonna go black out.
I did laundry, computer stuff, grocery shopping and cooked a pot of food for the cats today.

I don't know yet,... but I made a couple videos yesterday that don't sound too awful bad to me and I thought I'd put them in my Dailies for today.
I also put a video in My Practice Videos. It's dated with today's date,.. The Crests - Sixteen Candles - take 1.
Today I worked on my whole house remodel project that I was working on last year where I primed exterior wood patio covers and then I went over to my exterior re-paint project and painted facia boards for the rest of the day.
Then I came home,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. made a few videos and now it's already bed time.
Time really flew by once I got home today.

Today I did a couple little fix it jobs on one job and then I went over to my exterior re-paint project and worked the rest of the day.
Then I came home,. did all my chores and then went out to dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
And now I'm full and ready for bed... I think I'll call it a night,... I've gotta get up early tomorrow.
I don't remember if I learned anything new today. Oh,.. I did learn that my Baby, it's cold outside video don't sound too bad in audio only form today. I like the voice that I used for the guy,... think I may see if I can make the girls voice better one day though.

Today I painted hallway cabinets on one job,. then I went over to my exterior re-paint project and moved a cable to a new location and patched trim and siding and then I had to go over to another job and fix a leaking kitchen faucet and a broken hinge.
When I got home I had to make up a bill for a job and I've cooked dinner for the cats.
And I sang a few songs too and made some videos.
I found another cool new song that seems familiar like,.. but I don't remember ever hearing it before. It's called "It's Only Make Believe" and my karaoke disc doesn't say who it's by.
So I made a few video of myself this evening singing the song and I've put them in My Practice Videos. There's 3 of them all dated with today's date.

Today I worked on painting hall cabinets on one job then had to check on another job and get materials for it and then had to get and deliver materials and supplies to my exterior re-paint project.
Then I came home and did my normal chores and now I'm thinking that I'm gonna go to bed early tonight.
I don't remember learning anything new today.

I made a video this evening and decided to put it in my dailies for today. I'm not that crazy over the way I'm looking through parts of the video,.. but I like the way I sang it Ok.
I've been singing that song ever since I found it. I like the song. I like the way it sounds with me singing it,.. and I like the words too.
I'm a "I don't play lovers games" myself kind of guy.
Unless of course there some kind of fun and good or loving kind of lovers game.
Today I put a bunch of the songs that I've sang on my ipod and listened to them while I was at work.
I was expecting to hear all my flaws by listening to myself in head phones. But it wasn't like that at all.
I'm really liking the way I'm sounding through head phones.
Today I had to go to my exterior re-paint project for a little while and then I went over to another job where I got started on painting their hall cabinets.
Then I came home and did all my normal chores and cut my hair too.
Back to the thought of building my own software... I know one thing that I would do if I was to make a software of my own. I would make it so that it uses what ever system cursors the computer happens to be using. Instead of forcing the system to change to some other style of cursors.
And I say that because now that I've got my own custom made cursors I can't always use them in all my softwares because they force you to use what ever they prefer you to use.

Today I worked with my computer most the day.
I tried out a few DVD making softwares and didn't like either one of them. I've worked on an estimate. And paid another bill that came yesterday.
I've picked up all the soda cans that were on the side of my office. There was about 10 large trash bags full of them. I took them over the the recycling center but they were closed by the time I got there.
Then I've had a shower and cooked dinner for the cats and made a call about work for tomorrow.
And now I'm getting ready to have me another one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizzas.
I haven't turned the TV on all day,.. but I just heard from a phone call that I made that The Giants are winning the Superbowl. Maybe I'll turn the game on for a little while before I go to bed.

Today I decided to put an old video back into my web site that was made back on December 10th, 2006. You can find it by going back to that date in my Dailies or by going to My Dailies Talk Videos that is listed on My Video Archives page. The video is listed in there: 12-10-2006 Me getting dressed up like a girl.
And it's about 12:00 noon here at my house now as I'm getting ready to go throw a load of laundry into the dryer and also getting ready to go to the grocery store.
I've put a couple more practice videos in My Practice Videos. Their Wayne Newton's - I've Got The World take 2 and 3.
Ok,.. now that it's about my bedtime here,... today I've been out shopping at the grocery store, Rite-Aid and Office Depot. I've finished one load of laundry.. I've cooked dinner for the cats and had myself a little Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizza.
I've done some Online banking and paid all my bills.. And I sang the songs that I put in My Practice Videos for today.
And that's about it for my day,... I think I'm gonna go to bed a little early tonight.

Friday, February 1, 2008
First of all today I put a couple new videos in My Practice Videos. Their a couple cool new songs I found that I've never heard before that Wayne Newton sings called "Games That Lovers Play" and "I've Got The World".
For work today I worked at my exterior re-paint project and I installed new wood to the overhang where there was water damage and patched siding.
Then I came home and did my chores, sang the songs that I put in My Practice Videos for today and got the videos all converted and uploaded.
And now it's going on 9:00pm here and I think I'm just about ready for bed.
I don't remember if I learned anything new today.

Today for work I worked on my exterior re-paint project where I stripped paint off of siding and worked on fixing a spot on their overhang that has water damage.
Then I came home and did all my chores and then went out to dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana.
After dinner I went over to a friends house that lives over by the restaurant and visited with him for a little while and now I'm back home and about ready for bed.
I don't remember if I learned anything new today or not.

Well it's another F'n day about done again for me here.
I think like that from time to time,... I just don't always write it down here is all.
Today I worked on the job that I was on yesterday and I just did miscellaneous house fixes. Puttying and stain touch up in a closet, make a new attic access door, make and install a custom trim board where there was a big gap between the wall and the trim. And re-paint the walls around the new living room heater stove.
Then I also had to go and check on my exterior re-paint project where a friend of mine is going to start helping me finish that job.
Then I came home and made up an Invoice for a job and did all my normal chores.
I don't remember if I've learned anything new today and I think I'm gonna go to bed early tonight.
Which just caused me to think,.. "so I can wake up to another F'n day"...
A lot of the time when I notice I'm having negative thoughts,... it's like next thing ya know,.. all my thoughts are laced with negativity...
I don't remember ever noticing "positive thinking" working that way.

Today I went over to a new job. Actually,.. it's new work on a job that I was working on last year. And I worked on doing touch ups in a closet and some caulking around an exterior door that's allowing water to get in the house.
Then I came home and did my normal chores and now it's already about bed time again.
Some of the things I learned today were about how to convert my videos to where I get them in the same 4.3 aspect ratio that they were originally in. A lot of these video converters I've tried out will crunch my videos down to where they look more like their in a wide screen mode and it makes every thing on the screen a little fatter.
And I don't really like that. I don't care to look any fatter.

Today for work I scraped peeling paint from overhangs on my exterior re-paint project that I've been working on lately.
It was raining through the morning,.. but I was able to stay pretty dry by being up under the overhangs.
Then I came home and did my normal chores (shower, fix dinner for the cats and do my daily work notes). And time has just flew right by,.. it's already bed time and it seems like I really didn't have much time for doing anything tonight.
I don't remember learning anything new today... Oh,.. I met a new little dog today over at a girls house. A little Jack Russel Terrior named Roxy. She was a super excited very friendly little girl.

I don't know yet,... but I put a couple videos in My Practice Videos today and the one down below for My Dailies Video for today too.
Well today I've been busy all day with things and now I've gotta remember what all those things were so that I can write them down here.
Ok,... I did some online banking earlier today and paid my bills. I did a little grocery shopping,.. got me some more of those Wolfgang Puck frozen pizzas along with some other things.
I had to go get some gas for the lawn mower and stopped at Staples while I was out and picked up some labeling printer paper. I mowed the lawn,... had a shower,.. cooked dinner for the cats,.. and sang all the songs that I put in my web site today.
Then I've been sitting here burning more CD's of my own music this evening.
I don't remember learning anything new today.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."

Well,.. today it's been like I just haven't felt like doing much of anything... Not like I'm feeling sick or something,... more like I'm content to just sit around and do nothing but think.
I have done 3 loads of laundry today though,.. and fixed dinner for the cats,.. sang some songs for video and put 3 new videos in My Practice Videos. 2 Frank Sinatra's New York New York and 1 Bobby Darin Mack The Knife.
Then I've been over to the 7-eleven and to BestBuy too.
Today I learned that over on YouTube they've got their videos to where you can make them full screen mode to where they keep most of their picture quality.
Playing videos on the web didn't use to be like that. Seems like just a year ago it was best to watch a video on the web in it's small screen mode because the video would get blurry if you put it in full screen mode.
I also learned that my Monster Mash video that I put in YouTube has got a 5 star rating from people who have viewed it. And that was pretty cool to see.
I decided to put my Witchcraft video in there too today. Seems like it's probably my best video that I've made.
You can find the 2 videos that I've put in YouTube by typing rixcoca in the search box on YouTube. And you can also type Monster Mash by Rick Harrington and Witchcraft by Rick Harrington.

Today I started out my work day looking at a new job, then I went over to my exterior re-paint project and scraped overhangs.
Then I came home and did some chores and then went out to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and had a good dinner.
And now it's almost 10:00pm here in California and I think I'm gonna hit the hay...

Today for work I worked on my exterior re-paint project stripping paint from siding and scraping overhangs.
Then I came home and did my regular chores around the house,.. (fix dinner for the cats, shower, write down my daily work stuff).
Tonight I think I'm gonna take it easy and maybe go to bed a little earlier. I've been busy at night lately and getting to bed late every night.
I'm putting a couple new videos in My Practice Videos today. They'll be the 2 on top dated with today's date,... Elton John's - The Bitch Is Back and Elton John's - Levon....

Tuesday, January 22, 2008
Lets see here,.. I almost forgot about writing my dailies today and now I've gotta think about what it was I did today.
Well I started out my day dropping off an Invoice for one job and then went over to my exterior repaint job and stripped paint off of siding and scraped overhangs.
Then I stopped by the bank on my way home from work and made a deposit and then came home.
Today while I was writing some things down in my Tablet PC I noticed that I had an icon on my desktop there for Ulead DVD factory. I didn't even know that I had that software. I just downloaded it a couple days ago and tried it out on my Desktop computer.
So when I got home I tried that version of their software out too. It crunched my video down from a 4:3 type screen to similar to a wide screen video and it made me look a little wider,.. so I didn't really like that.
And then I've fixed dinner for the cats,... had a shower,... made some singing videos,... and did my work paper work.
I suppose I can put a practice video in my Practice Videos today. It will be on top dated with today's date,... Frank Sinatra's - Tender Trap - take 1...

Today for work I loaded and delivered a bunch of stairway lumber that I painted to a job... And then I went over to my exterior re-paint job and scraped overhangs for the rest of the day.
When I got home I sang a better version of one of the songs I sang in my videos and transferred it to an audio only file then burned a bunch of new CD's of my very first singing CD.
And I had to make an Invoice up for a job,... fixed dinner for the cats,.. and had me another one of those Wolfgang Puck frozen style pizza's.
One cool thing that I learned today was how to install fonts in Windows Vista. And I say that because just dragging them and dropping them in my fonts folder only worked for me once or twice out of the many times that I tried it.
Looks like the correct way to install fonts in Windows Vista is to open up your Windows Font folder that you can find by going to your Control Panel, then "right click" an empty spot on the fonts page,... in the little dialog box that opens up will be a "install new font" link. Click it and then find your font that you would like to install.
Then if you have the Menu tool bar up in your Windows,... you can also click "File",.. and the first option there is "install new font".
I was thinking that I needed to buy some special software to install fonts or somethin,... due to the problems I was having trying to install them,.. so when I did a search for software I found a tip that told me what I learned today.
Some of my Invoices and Labels too are in Special fonts that Windows didn't come with,... so it was either re-install some of my old fonts or select some new ones.
I've kept copies of all my regular fonts that I use for that stuff,... and was thinking that something may be wrong with all my copies of my fonts due to the way they wouldn't install correctly.
So it was cool to learn that my copies of all my fonts are OK,.. and it's just that I needed to know how to install them correctly...

Well here it is,.. another evening already.
Today I started out my day trying out a DVD and CD labeling software. And it also makes labels for DVD cases and the Jewel cases that music CD's come in.
The software I was trying out is called Sure Thing CD labeler Deluxe and I didn't need to try out any other versions of this type of software. I liked this one right away.
Then I went down to Staples and got me some CD Jewel cases and some printable labels and made me a bunch of my own music CD's.
It's a lot like I just produced my very first music CD. And they look a lot like a CD you would buy in a store.
Then I took my Great Uncle down to the grocery store and also did some grocery shopping myself... And I also finished one load of laundry today,.. fixed dinner for the cats,.. tried my very first Wolfgang Puck frozen pizza,... which was quite good,... it tasted a lot like it came from some pizza place.
And then I also tried out a DVD movie maker type software today. I wasn't that happy with what it came up with though. So I think I'm going to un-install that one.
And that's about it for my day today....

Today I started out my day here on my computer trying out Icon and Cursor making softwares. And next thing ya know it's already noon time and I'm still sitting here trying them out.
I found one software called AWicons Pro that worked quite well for making Cursors. It's not made for Windows Vista yet and had some quirks or glitches,.. (not everything was working correctly),.. but other than that I was able to make a full set of my own custom computer cursors with it.
And then I took a bunch of my videos here from my web site and converted them to sound only files. MP3 music files,... and then burned them to CD's,.. and made my own cover picture and printed it directly on the CD itself.
They turned out pretty cool looking. Not all of my songs sound great in audio only,.. but there are some that sound quite good to me... My "Danke Schoen" sounds surprisingly good to me.
Sigh,... and I also cooked a big crock pot of food for the cats today and did 2 loads of laundry. Still gotta fold one load,.. but I'm gonna save that for tomorrow...
And I've already mentioned what I learned new today up above with the Icon and Cursor softwares.
I like making custom folder Icons too. Back when I had Windows XP I had all my folders color coded. Different colors for different folders. And I've made and am using some here in Windows Vista too but they only view as very small folders.
I haven't figured out how to make them so that they'll view correctly yet...

Well,.. I almost forgot to write my dailies out for today. It's going on Midnight here at my house right now.
Today for work I finished spray painting the stair railing that I've been working on.
Then I spent some time organizing files on my computer. I have 6 hard drives on this computer now,.. and files have been strung out all over each one of them. I made back up copies of all my files on 2 of my hard drives then completely re-formatted both of them... So no those 2 hard drives are nice and clean and empty.
I'm not even sure what I'm gonna use them for yet...
And I've been sitting here this evening researching and trying out different Video editing softwares.
I sure like my new custom mouse cursors that I put on my computers. I'm especially liking the Text selector (I beam looking cursor). I made mine tall and thin and somewhat transparent so that it doesn't block the text that I'm going to highlight or select. I can see the text through it.
And that's about it for today... Today sure went by fast...

Today for work I worked at home again sanding and spray painting stair railing. It was a bit too windy again today to do much spraying,... so I wasn't able to get it all finished today.
Today on my computer I learned how to install my own cursors into my computers system. Like complete sets of cursors.
I've had RealWorld cursor editor for a while now,.. but I never could see in it's instructions how to actually install them into my computer.
I figured it out on my own today by trying things in my Mouse Properties dialog box.
It's pretty cool,.. I can make my own cursors now and be able to use them on my computers too.
I like Lefty style pointers,... because sometimes when you hover over a button a little dialog box may open up and with a Righty pointer it can be right over the words in the dialog box to where you can't read them. Move your pointer and the dialog box goes away,... and you still can't read it....
Well,.. I'm gonna get cleaned up here in a little bit and head over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana and have dinner.
Think I'll fix dinner for the cats before I go so I don't have to do it when I get back and that will probably be it for my evening.

Wednesday, January 16, 2008
One of the things I did this morning was,.. I installed an upgraded version of the software for my Sony Handycam. I've been putting off installing this software because their new upgrade doesn't include a converter to convert my videos from Dolby sound to MPEG sound.
My videos don't have no sound when trying to play them with Dolby sound in most all the video players I have on my computer. I can't convert a Dolby sound video directly to one of my web videos,... it won't have no sound.
So now with the upgrade software I have to import a video then convert it with Windows Movie Maker software to a video that will play with sound and then I can convert a web video out of that video.
With my old Sony Handycam software,.. it would convert the videos to MPEG sound if I chose to. So I didn't have to go through the extra step of converting my videos with some other software.
The problem I was having though with my old Handycam software was Windows couldn't always see the videos. Sometimes I'd import them to my computer and Windows might only be able to see one them. All the rest of them weren't even playable in anything other than the old Handycam software.
So far with the new Sony Handycam software it looks like my imported videos are being able to be seen by Windows better now,... so maybe the upgrade will be worth it.
Hey,.. Windows Live Mail is viewing images in emails quickly tonight. Last night it was like you've gotta sit there and wait a minute for the images to load before you could read an email. Like I might as well just read my emails from the web where it loads images instantly.
Today I worked at home again priming and sanding stair railing lumber. It got real windy though as the day progressed,... so I wasn't able to do as much spray painting as I was planning to.
I also went over to Staples,.. twice,... I forgot to bring my wallet the first time. The problem is,.. I grab my keys not thinking I'm going any where,... like because I've gotta get into my truck for something,... and then later on I'll think of going somewhere and just jump in and go.
Think I've gotta start grabbing my wallet too every time I grab my keys.
Anyway,... so I got me an under the desk drawer for my computer keyboard over at Staples. It's pretty cool so far. I really like having my keyboard in a lower position than what it was in and I've got the desk above now where I have room for writing things by hand.
I've been moving over to the other side of my desk any time I have to write something down all this time.
And that's about it for my day today. I've done most all my normal chores now and I'm gonna go to bed here in a little bit.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."
Video - me singing a song that Frank Sinatra sang called "Taking A Chance On Love".

I don't know yet,.. it's still early in the day here...
But I have put a new video in here for my dailies today. It's a song that Frank Sinatra sang that I don't think I've ever heard before,... so I'm just singing it in one of my ways.
Ok,.. now that it's past my bed time I've gotta finish my dailies here...
Today I got to work at home. Spray painting some stair railing that's going to go on my upstairs remodel project that I was working on last year.
And on my computer I downloaded and am trying out Windows Live Mail. Thought they said it was easy to set up web mail in there,.. like AOL mail and Yahoo mail. I thought I read somewhere that they made it sound like their program will set it up for you.
But it wasn't like that. I figured out how to get my AOL mail in there and working,... but with Yahoo,.. you may still need to install that Y-pops thing in order to make it work in there. And the last time I tried to do that I never did get it working,... so trying to do that again doesn't sound appealing to me.
Still liking reading my mail from AOL.com or from MSN.com better than reading it from Windows Live Mail because the images in emails load very slowly in Windows Live mail compared to how fast they load on the web.
But sending emails from Windows Live Mail seems pretty cool because it's all integrated into my computer. I can just click someones email address from out of my GSnote pad and Windows Live Mail pops up with an email already addressed to that person and ready to be written in.
Any thing that I learned new today was computer related,.. Oh,.. except for,.. I did learn of another cool new to me song. I made a couple videos of myself singing it and I'm thinking about putting one of them in my dailies tomorrow.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."

Let me see here,... today I had to go out and pick up materials for one job,.. and I had to pay my accounts off at 2 Paint stores,.. and then I went over to my exterior painting project and did a little clean up.
Yesterday a friend of mine gave me a BestBuy Gift card as a Christmas gift... So on my way home from work today I stopped by BestBuy and picked up a few things.
Got me a new electric razor. I went with the Panasonic because I was very happy with my last Panasonic razor. Electric razors really can shave closer than a blade.
My old Panasonic razor,... the battery has about had it. Other than that it's still shaving quite well for an old razor. Funny how standard (non electric) razors get dull after a few shaves,.. but an electric razor can stay sharp for,... well,.. I don't know,.. let me dig out my receipt for when I purchased that razor here....
Wow,.. it was February of 2003 when I purchased my old Panasonic razor.
I also got this Sandisk 2 gig USB thumb drive while I was down at BestBuy. It's a U3 type. And I spent hours today learning about it and configuring it only to find out later that it caused some of my programs to stop working correctly.
I had to restore my computer to how it was set up yesterday and get rid of all remnants of that new U3 type thumb drive... And now I've got my computer and programs running correctly again.
I got rid of all the U3 components on the new Sandisk thumb drive too and it seems like it could be Ok to use now,... but I don't care to plug it in and try it tonight... I've spent enough time with that thing for one day.
And now it's about 8:30pm here at my house. I've fixed a big pot of food for the cats and fixed their dinner for them. I've made a few videos. Did my daily work notes.
And I think that's about it for my day today.

Sunday, January 13, 2008
Well let me see here,... I've gotta figure out what it is that I did today.
Well,.. it was computer weekend is what it was... And today I worked on installing all my softwares that I use most onto my newly re-furbished desktop computer. I'm slowly getting things all set up back the way I had them back before my computer went down.
And things are looking up. My computer seems to be running quite nicely right now. Think I'm gonna make some complete computer back up discs while things are running this way. So that I may be able to just restore it back to this point if anything happens again.
As I was installing my softwares I was watching my Fonts folder along with which programs are causing me to have so very many fonts. So far I'm up over 400 fonts already. And it seems like maybe I shouldn't be getting rid of them this time because some of those programs are somewhat dependent on some of those fonts.
Anyway,.. so I also did a load of laundry today,.. and went and did a little grocery shopping, visited with a friend that came over, then helped another friend with figuring out why he can't get his computer to get a wireless internet connection...
And I've fed the cats and did some online banking... Got most my bills paid...
I don't remember what I may of learned today,.. but if there was anything,... it was mostly computer related.

Well,... computers are really keeping me busy.
But I got my Desktop computer up and running again today.... I took it out and blew all the dust out of it,.. checked all it's wiring connections,.. installed a new hard drive for a new operating system drive,.. and now I've got Windows Vista Ultimate re-installed and a few of my programs.
It took me a little while to get windows installer to recognize my new hard drive as a Primary hard drive. Fiddling with my Bio's for hours when all I needed to do was tell the windows installer that it was a new hard drive which caused it to recognize it as a Primary hard drive.
And then my screens kept going black on me right before windows installer would come up and I kept thinking that something was wrong,... so I kept re-setting my computer thinking that it locked up or something.
But no,... the screens going black was Ok,... it just needed 5 to 10 minutes time for the installer screen to pop up.
So now I've just got a whole bunch of software to re-install and get all configured to my liking again.
And now it's after 7:00pm here at my house and I'm able to write my dailies from my desktop computer again today.... It's nice seeing everything up on my big screens again.
I went with a Seagate Barracuda 500 gigabyte hard drive this time. My last operating system hard drive was a Western Digital 10,000 rpm raptor, 74 gigabyte. Which was kind of a mistake in getting such a small hard drive for my main drive. It was close to being full before my computer went down a couple mornings ago.
And that's about it for my day today....
Oh,.. I did clean my office window,.. vacuumed the floor and fix dinner for the cats too today.

Friday, January 11, 2008
Today I woke up to a dead computer. My Desktop computer isn't working anymore... I think it's the Operating system hard drive that's having a problem. Because my motherboard is acting OK,... showing the splash screen,... but then always taking me to "The file is possibly corrupt. The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum" after verifying the DMI pool data.
So I can't get into any of my files on my computer right now. I'm using my laptop computer and a downloaded copy of my web page here in order to write my dailies today.
I got me a new hard drive on the way home from work today. And I'm gonna see if I can get everything up and running again tomorrow.
For work today I worked on stripping and scraping peeling paint from exterior siding on the exterior re-paint project that I'm now working on.
And I had to pick up a bunch of stair railing lumber on another job that needs to be primed and painted.
And then I had to go to another job and go over the list of work that their giving me on that job.
I think I may have a full years worth of work lined up for myself already this year.
I've already mentioned what I learned new today up above with my computer acting up.
It's been showing me warning signs for about a Month now. I've been having to press the reset button 2 or 3 times most every time I went to turn it on. It's like it wasn't seeing the hard drive or something,... then all of a sudden after hitting reset a few times it would find it.
But today I'm getting that error message about the header checksum and resetting it only brings me back to that message.
And that's about it for my day today. I've gotta go in and fix dinner for the cats,... and then my chores will be done for today.

Today for work I got started on an exterior painting project. Painting the whole exterior of a house.
And I've showered, fixed dinner for the cats and went over to Pomodoro Cucina Italiana for dinner myself.
There was 2 things that I learned new today. The first one was I have a bunch of coding on my video pages that isn't needed. Java script code that causes Internet Explorer to say my page has errors.
And I learned that I had a bunch of phone messages on my cell phone that I didn't know about....
I haven't had my cell phone turned on at all through the Holidays.
One thing nice about my cell phone messages,... no telemarketer messages in there.
My home phone's messages consist of around 95 percent telemarketer calls and around 5 percent from people I know or people calling about work.
Seldom do I answer my phone when it rings.

Today I had to go out and get paid from a job along with discussing my next projects there. And I had to go look at another job. Then I had to go to the bank and I also dropped off a tool that needs fixed over at a repair shop.
Then I came home and did some computer drawing for a fire place mantle and did some paper work.
And I also put new video players on my Video Archives page. Their the ones on top labeled ALL VIDEO PLAYER.
It's just a more convenient like player that holds all my singing videos.
And you can still access them through the list on the Video Archives page also.
I don't remember if I've learned anything new today. I've been busy doing things all day that I already know how to do.

Today I ended up sleeping in again. I got up a bit late. It was kind of nice doing so though.
And what I did for work today was I made some calls, worked on an estimate and sent off an e-bill.
A friend came over today and took up 2 or 3 hours of my time sitting here listening to music today.
And other than that I worked with my computer, cooked up a big pot of food for the cats and fixed dinner for them.
One thing I learned new today is what my favorite Rush song is called,.. which is "The Temples of Syrinx". I always knew which one it was,.. but never knew what it was called. That friend of mine that came over today told me.
And that's about it for my day again today. Think I'll go to bed early tonight again maybe.
Oh,.. and I decided to put that Candlebox Far Behind video that's in My Practice Videos in my dailies and on my Video Archives page. So it's in here on January 6th, 2008 now and it's still in My Practice Videos too but eventually I'll be taking it out of there.
"Had to remove these videos. New server doesn't allow any room for videos."
Videos - me singing a couple songs from the Brian Setzer Orchestra called "This Cat's On A Hot Tin Roof" and "Jump Jive And Wail".

I don't know yet... But I'm putting one video in here for my dailies today. And I'm putting another one in My Practice Videos that's on my Video Archives page. It will be the video on top labeled: 1-7-2008 - Candlebox - Far Behind - take 1.
It's another song where I haven't got the ending down to my liking.
Zoot Suit Riot,.. the song I'm putting in my dailies for today,.. I don't remember ever hearing that song before. So I'm just doing it in the way I came up with.
Today what I did for work was I got my paper work all situated for the new year. Made out a bill,.. got job files that are still going changed over to 2008 files. Made some calls about work.
Looks like I may have to go back to Hawaii for work in April of this year.
And other than that,.. I finished a load of laundry today and took a tool down to a repair shop only to find out that their not open on Monday's. And I made a few videos and fixed dinner for the cats.
And now my day is about done again here.
I might go to bed early tonight. It might help me to get out of that sleeping in mode that I've been in lately.

Today I had a headache most the day and thought about going back to bed. But ended up staying up all day.
Singing was making my headache worse this morning,... but later in the day I got up and sang a song and all of a sudden my headache got better surprisingly.
So anyway,.. I just sat around all day again today. Sang a few songs,.. made labels for a bunch of the karaoke discs that I have that don't have labels,.. did a load of laundry and fed the cats.
And now another day is over for me again.
I looked down at the cats sitting in a chair all huddled up together on a rainy day staying warm looking like they don't really like the rain and realized that it's not that awful bad for animals though,... they don't have to spend most their time working. They don't have to go to work at all.
Most of them can spend every single day doing what ever they would like to do.

Today I just sat around and listened to a bunch of the karaoke discs that I have and have never listened to yet.
I've got so many of them here,.. and I'm not even sure what all I have.
I've learned today that I have some of my old favorite songs on these discs.
I just found Led Zeppelin's Dy'er Ma'ker. That was always my favorite Led Zeppelin song. I can't sing it like I use to though. So I may not be doin that song these days.
Well,... my day is about over already again. I figured this morning that with the time that it takes to listen to a CD,.. I can probably listen to about 12 of them and then it will be time for bed again.

Well it's every bodies Friday again.
I spent a lot of today just going through my Fonts folder on my computer and checking fonts out,.. then deleting the ones that I don't think I'll use. I've got my font's down to about 500 total now. I'd get rid of a lot more too,.. but my computer won't let me get rid of some of the fonts.
And I don't want to get rid of those if their system fonts needed for my computer. I mean,.. I don't want to mess things up on my computer,.. and get it to where it ain't working right anymore.
I got a new toy in the mail today. A wireless microphone system. It's kind a cool,... I can strap the head phone mic on, push the button on the karaoke machine and sit here working on my computer as I'm practice singing a song.
The things I learned new today were all about computer fonts,... and my new wireless microphone system.
And my Friday is about over with here.

This morning I got all carried away going through all the fonts on my computer and when I finally looked at my clock it was already 12:00pm.
Picking a font can seem like a job sometimes. Like I've gotta go through all my fonts and get more familiar with them all.
I think I could spend all day tomorrow on it too. I've got them narrowed down to all the ones that I like now. So now it's like I need to print them out on a some pages and put them up on my wall so I have quick and easy access to picking them out.
I've got over 800 fonts installed on my computer here,... I think I'm gonna go through them and un-install a bunch of the ones that I don't think I'll ever use... Should make finding fonts quicker and easier too.
Well I just got back from another great dinner over at Pomodoro Cucina Italiana... Fed the cats and had a shower.
And now my day is about over already again. The days can really go by fast for me now days. Especially lately,.. over these Christmas Holidays.
Oh,.. I also paid a bunch of bills today and got my last income tax payment for the year made out and ready to send off too.

Today I learned a bit about how to read and write a java script code for swapping images. It's a code that puts a new image over an image when you hover your mouse over it,.. and when you click on it too.
You can see what I'm talking about by checking out what I did to my Photo Gallery Index today. The numbers I've added to the images are new. I just added them today.
I tried labeling the images underneath each one,.. but I didn't like the looks of it.
Last night I was thinking a little bit about learning to build my own software. I've thought about it before. But I just never have had any ideas for a project to build...
It seems like my favorite note pad,... GSnotes from The Golden Section Labs,... tgslabs.com,... may of went out of business. I can't get to their web site anymore.
It's like my everything pad. And I've thought over the years through Operating system upgrades it may not work anymore...
Well,.. I shouldn't say "everything pad",... I don't use it at all for writing HTML and web pages... I like Edit Pad Pro from JGsoft,.. editpadpro.com for that. And Microsoft's Expression Web software helps too.
But that would be my first project if I tried building my own software. A rich text type note pad and organizer similar to the GSnote pad that I like.
There's a couple things I thought of that may be cool to add to their design,.. tabs where you can open up more than one page in the notepad without them closing. And the ability to make a page have a perfect size sheet of paper that you can write on. Letter size,... legal size,.. all the sizes.
So when you go to print,.. it prints it perfectly just like you see it on your screen.
I like their pages that you can just continue writing on for what seems like as long a page as you like too and wouldn't get rid of that feature. I use it all the time like that.
Oh,.. hey,... looks like their web site is working today. Their web server must of been down for the past couple days or somethin...
Looks like they haven't upgraded for Windows Vista yet. But their software has been working just fine on both my Windows Vista computers so it doesn't really matter right now.
Oh,.. I thought of another upgrade too that I would add to a Note pad if I was to make one. A upper page ruler that doesn't change sizes when you re-size the software's window. I think the page ruler should stay at it's correct size at all times.
Well my day is pretty much finished here... And I just spent most my day in the office again... This evening I've been listening to karaoke discs that I haven't heard yet and making labels for their CD keepers because these CDs only say whats on them on the disc itself.
I've already mentioned something I was learning new today up above,... but another thing I learned today is I may be getting scheduled to go back to Hawaii for work in March of this year...
And I got a message on my answering machine from a job I looked at in the first of last year out in Redlands California. Looks like I may be going back to that job after all. I never heard anything from them,.. so I was thinking they may of had someone else do the job.

I don't know yet....... I woke up on the wrong side of the bed,.... gotta stop thinking these negative thoughts.
As I'm waking up here and getting my site updated for the new year I've put some more videos in My Practice Videos that's on my Video Archives page.
There's 3 new ones dated 12-31-2007,... Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love - take 13, 16 and 18.
I've been struggling with getting that 3rd verse down to my liking. But I think I'm gettin there.
Well today I just kind a sat around all day. And any time I thought like maybe I should be doing something else,... I thought,.. well it is a Holiday,... so I think it's OK.
I got carried away working on my web site here for a portion of the day... I changed my Photo Gallery in here to a bit of a new style,... and I'm quite happy with it. Oh,.. and I added a new Photo to it too. It's the last one in the bottom right corner on My Photo Gallery Index page... If you click that image,.. once your on the page in the Photo Gallery with the larger photo,... it's Photo 47.
And just with having to write that last part out that way makes me think that I need to label all the small images on the Photo Gallery Index page now too.... Well,.. that's gonna be a project for another day.
Also today,.. I just finished cooking a big crock pot of food for the cats,.. had a shower,.. and now all I've got left to do is to fix dinner for the cats and my chores will be finished for today.
I'm not sure that I learned anything new today. I haven't looked at my emails yet today though,.. it's possible I might learn something new in there I suppose.
