I'm Greyhounding it in and sleeping on a friend's floor. So are [other people]. You should, too. I promise to bathe and so do most of the bands. [Crooked Fingers will not be bathing] cow.

Hotmail always has these dumbass articles but this is even more amazing.

With Valentine's Day approaching, it's a good idea to pay more attention to your mug. Is your pucker pitiful? Does your smile brighten, or frighten? Take this quiz to find out if your lip lock is love-worthy.

yeah.. way to go Microsoft Networks

WIPING BOOGERS ON BATHROOM WALLS !!!

i mean, why? and if it is just to be spiteful, well it is a cowardly way to be evil. i would prefer for you to wipe the booger on me and not the beautiful wall i so freshly painted. at least if you wiped it on me, then i would have a face to attatch the evil act to and you would feel the satisfaction in SEEING my dismay and disgust.

but i guess i can understand. i did afterall lick the man upstair's tea bread last week when he wasn't looking. i guess sometimes everyone wants to be a little evil and a lot incognito.

but from now on, boogers go on tissue in the trash.

to the guy in Slot Racer

what happened to the good old days when you could make fun of people on the internet without people CALLING you to whine about it.
Hey I have an idea: how about I search my name on the internet and write to every single person who calls me chubby (based on my naked pics), dislikes my writing (its been called boring), makes fun of my "beard" (birthmark), or calls my magazine "trashy".
Look, I'm sorry if I say something mean and I don't know you in person, but it happens.. thats what people do. I have friends who made fun of things about my appearance before we became friends.
I have friends who have the same "flaws" I write about in other people.
If you are a performer or an artist or in some other way, are "putting yourself out there," you're going to have to deal with it eventually.
When i'm a celebrity I'll hire someone to call every person who makes a joke about ME!

An open letter to those who wish to irk me:

I have a really difficult time maintaining phone, email, or written correspondence with people about whose opinions I care.

So if you write emails to me trying to goad me into responding to your insults due to differences of opinion on matters political... don't feel slighted.

Ask people I love.

I'm an uncommunicative bastard.

My lack of response doesn't necessarily mean that you're not worth the effort. People I actually do like often wonder, due to my normal silent runnings.

But if you specifically send me one or more emails that you think are tailored to making me angry and which will cause me to respond just because I *must* fit your ideal of a political adversary... let me just point out, as gently as I can, that you are wrong.

I don't email people I care about often enough.

I'm certainly not going to get into any animated email discussion with someone who has no use for my opinion, and for whose opinion I have no use.

You aren't worth it.

Deal.

But since you're an attention whore, here is your validation. Trash me in the ensuing response area. But don't EVER expect a personal reply. You're so not worth it.

I hate "ideals", not people. If we met in person, I'd buy you a drink. But chances are, we never will meet in person, and I'm not going to waste my time debating with someone who's convinced I'm wrong and won't consider that he may be incorrect from the start. Nor would I expect you to.

We're all different. I'm okay with that. I hope, someday, you can come to this realization, too.

So I just got back from watching the movie Dodge Ball. It was pretty cheesy but pretty hilarious. There were parts where I was laughing uncontrollably for minutes at a time. Anyone else check this out? Probably the best summer "blockbuster" movie this summer but Anchorman might come in close second.
