OK, well, I should finish packing but I am trying to take care of what I can before I go…. Like leaving a message on Der Stonegauge to say “See ya later Aligator.” I’ll be back Saturday Night. Anything pressing? Sheer curiosity? Think I have you on my banned listRead More

This is going to be a doozy of a week for me — trying? Challenging is more like it.. Lonely as well as interesting… LA’s fine, the sun shines most the time… and the feeling is laid back…. John’s a gimp and tends to be a wimp and he hasRead More

Well, people already saw on my last post I am thinking about doing a Buccaneers Web Log… That being said, Stonegauge Productions may have a new client soon enough. Danielle’s boss is in desperate need to not only get a lower-costing hosting company but also improve (visibility, sales, etc )Read More

Anyone interested in working with me on a Buccaneer Web Log? Yes, the Bucs suck right now… Yes Bruce Allen is a moron… Yes Jon Gruden needs more humillity… That doesn’t mean to say we shouldn’t support Los Buccaneeros on the web — even in criticism. And for those whoRead More

I might have already mentioned this somewhere but if I didn’t, I am back in action with the Open Source Directory Project with a couple of categories here and there. Click here to view my Profile on there. Not much but it shows you what I edit… If you’ve everRead More

You know, I could talk up and down about he Presidential Debate last night (“You forgot Poland!” ) but I digress. That’s what all the other political blogs are for…. Soemone came off like a politician and someone came off hapless… That’s all I am saying. However with Los BuccaneerosRead More

How can the President, knowing that Osama Bin Laden has worked with limited resources in the third world and orchestrated the most heinious attacks on the United States of America, tell the American people that Osama Bin Laden was “contained” as he did last night during the debates? Osama runsRead More

So I order another 2 pairs of slacks off Amazon.com for my trip to LA, just because I could use them. And then I find out they won’t be arriving until the afternoon of the day I leave for California. Bastards 🙁 Well lookie here! I post this this morningRead More

It’s Tuesday while I write this and it will be Wednesday afternoon when I finally get around to finishing and I have to tell you — I’m thankful… I’m greatly thankful. It’s been two days since Hurricane Jeanne went through Florida… Two days or an eternity for those who lostRead More

Well? Whattya think??

A lot of people might be noticing and wondering why most of the comment sections aren’t open on some of my posts on here lately. The reason isn’t because I don’t want to hear from people — though I have to be honest, you kids bragging about High School FootballRead More

ABCNEWS.com : Bush Accuses Kerry of ‘Mixed Signals’ What’s next? “Bush team accuses Kerry of being prick teasers?” “Kerry: ‘Bush won’t put out in the end!’ ” OK, maybe I shoudl be blaming ABC’s editing for highlighting this line but…. Jeez, what a mess we are in with this election.

I read the following off Skyscraper Page — take it as you will: Q: Why would Al-Qaeda want Kerry, an unknown quantity, as president, when they already have Bush, who so blissfully plays into their hands at every turn? A: Because Al Qaeda never said this. The Republicans are theRead More

So, being bored in my GTA: Vice City fetish, I went ahead and pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from Amazon.com. Meanwhile I’ve been watching TV and I’ve got to say I’m thinking seriously about buying Star Wars: Battlefronts. Something about shooting Ewoks with a sniper rifle appeals to meRead More

Thanks Bob Goodenow Thanks Gary Bettman…. Now go screw yourselves.

I’m going to keep this one brief but it’s another one of those deaths that just didn’t get much publicity (Like Jonathan Brandis, or Robert Pastrorelli, or Joe Viterelli) and of course – it probably shouldn’t have because this guy wasn’t a house hold name, and hadn’t been all overRead More

I’m still a gimp, as I like to say. But I’m going away on my own for most of a week in a couple of weeks. Maybe that can be taken as a birthday present for myself or just a desperate need to get away. That being said – I’mRead More

I’ve said my piece and I’m sticking to it… 9-11-01… Never forget. And never forget how you’re fears have been manipulated. We miss you Dennis “trane” Gomes

Why do I have a feeling this would not be far from the truth? Actually it would be very far from the truth – because I am certain that Karl Rove and Bush’s re-election team would make a scandal about Mary Magdalene and also start slanderous rumors about Lazrus andRead More

It would seem that Mother Nature is trying to assure us that Florida will not cost John Kerry the election this year… That or she’s pissed at the mess Jeb Bush has made of the state… At any rate, Hurricane Ivan “The Terrible” is a Category Five hurricane with maximumRead More

Yahoo! News – Global survey shows 30 of 35 countries want Kerry in White House “Only one in five want to see Bush reelected,” said Steven Kull, the university’s program on international policy attitudes. “Though he is not as well known, Kerry would win handily if the people of theRead More

Not only was I quoted in USA Today yesterday, but my quote was placed between Tony LaRussa and Crash Davis’ immortal monologue in Bull Durham… Unbelievable… Unfortunately, the article isn’t online.

This is a rare Meteorlogical event for storms to not only reach Category Five strength in the Atlantic but also make landfall. Palm Beach CountyRead More

Florida is in trouble… Hurricane Watches are supposed to go into effect for Florida sometime today. Home Depot’s around Florida are already shell-shocked because of shipping their goods to CHarley-raveged Southwest and Central Florida…

I was getting tired of Reese Witherspoon as a blond. Legally Blond, Sweet Home Alabama, etc, etc I would provide an image if I had one but she is on the Tonight Show right now as a brunette. Much better, dear Reese. Much better indeed.

I usually start off my posts with titles — sometimes they come to me immediately and set the tone for posts, sometimes they are terrible titles for posts because they have nothing to do with them, and other times they are dead on. Right now I have no title atRead More

Hurricane Frances is alive and well in the Atlantic. It is a long ways away from any land (including the Lesser Antillies) but this system is a monster and has basically no atmospheric interference to hinder it’s growth:
