yes. snow.
i just received a call from my boss lady in Springville.
Snow.
Also - I was supposed to have my new phone now. A Samsung u740 with that dual flip thingie. But stupid Verizon is requiring a deposit of $125 from me - due to a verizon landline issue that I had like 7 years ago. (moved out and my 'friends' never paid the last bills)
I am very dissapointed. I am supposed to be able to have Vcast and thus be mobile posting on Estrip all day long!
stupid verizon.
now i have to wait until ican afford the damn deposit.
stoooopid.

random pre coffee thoughtsCategory: good eats
Haven't been posting lately. No its not you, its me.. you see i've been so busy... i just... well... i haven't had time for you... please don't take it personally... i love you really... i promise i will call...
its 630 am. stupid work meeting.
Yesterday I agreed to work an OT day in Springville. Then I realized it was a homegame. Luckily I only hit a little traffic... I hightailed my ass as fast as I could home though...
Then I made chicken pot pie. Damn tasty!
Then I made banana bread. Damn Tasty!
Now I need to go out and find some sponsors for the next breakdance battle. We have worked out a deal wherein i can work off my class tuition by helping to get sponsors for the battles. Which is pretty damn nifty as I was worried that I wouldn't be able to afford these classes. (I can't afford them - at least till January)
So I'm trying to figure out what places I should go to that would be interested in donating money towards a breakdancing battle -
It seems as though the main themes are: energy drinks, hip clothing stores, anything associated with dance music and anybody who would have any type of interest in providing a wholesome place for the youth to come and play.
So do you all have suggestions? I unfortunately don't know the area still - so I'm at a loss for it all.

Astological accuracy?Category: randomo history
Last night (e:lauren) and I were watching a (2 hour??) documentary on this new manuscript that suddenly showed up in the Italian National Library in Rome. Amazing how these things just kinda pop up out of nowhere, huh?
So anyway, during the course of this documentary I learned a startling fact....
there are actually 13 astrological constellations! You see, apparently there is a constellation that exists between Scorpio and Sagittarius!
But because the sun only passes through this sign for about 19 days or so, this mysterious 'secret constellation' was dropped from the astrological calendar! Having 13 signs wouldn't be convenient in a 12 month year would it?
The sign is called either 'Ophiuchus' or 'Serpentarius' depending on whether you are Greek or Latin... and was named after Imhotep, an ancient Egyptian who was known for his powers of healing.
THis throws off astrology a LOT. I mean already we have to consider the sun's precession of the equinoxes and we haven't updated the exact dates of our astrological calendar in ages. But apparently if we were to add the 13th astrological sign into our current system, and calculate 'what is our sign' based upon when the sun ACTUALLY passes through that sign, then the following would be the most accurate astrological chart....
ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18
So whatcha think about that??
crazy....

i have no idea what it means to the astrological community - but i'm sure its devastating... and also a good reason why horoscopes have a huge tendancy to not be accurate...

ConfessionCategory: randomo
I confess that I have donated a whole $0 dollars to the (e:strip) fund. I also confess that I have actually avoided posting occasionally on (e:strip) because I find myself in shame for not donating.
There are two reasons for this. First of all, my paypal account has grown so much dust over the ages that I am afraid to even attempt to log on. Not that I know my passwords. Also I think I probably owe them money. Who knows?
Secondly because well... I'm just broke. All and out broke. So rather than donate $$ to the fund, I decided that jello shots was a good start... Ah yes... felly loves to turn to vodka when faced with problems... I wonder if I could just send a case of jello shots to Citibank in exchange for the $35k I owe them....? I mean come on... everyone loves jello shots...
Well at any rate - as I have resigned myself to working as many hours OT as I can, plus gained a second job for those remaining hours I have... well i guess sooner or later estrip will be receiving a donation from our way... until then I'll just have to get you all drunk....

Here is my take: (But I'm not (e:paul) or anyone who takes care of or runs the site)
The site is free. It is free to use. Sometimes there have been times where people have been asked to donate for something that might make the sight better. In those cases some people have given money if they think they should. That being said it is not a obligation to give. Giving money doesn't mean that you can then want something special because you gave money, the same is true for not giving money. Just because you don't donate doesn't mean you shouldn't post. One thing you have to remember is that your posts aren't only for you. Other people read them. If people like what you say they keep reading them. Also some of the stuff you might write about could effect them. For example you might write about some dance contest or some other event and someone who hasn't heard about it could wind up going, so keep posting. If you want to keep feeling bad about not giving money that is ok. If I would have seen a jar i would have thrown some money in and other might have to. That being said they where very good Jello-shots.

jello shots are important for the new server! as long as the server doesn't have too many...
last time that happened it took forever for us to convince it to get off the table and put it's shirt back on...

estrip has a few hundred users I think. 20 or so donated, and it was mostly 10-20 dollars.
Now, at that party I saw mostly the alcohol that was there to begin with and a giant ass box of jell-o shots.
So, why you may feel guilty about not donating to the new server there are a dozen people who should feel guilty for not brining sweet, sweet drink.
so there

JELLOOOOOOOCategory: good eats
We are bringing a bunch of jello shots tonight to the party - and we were thinking of having a little donation jar next to them. A quarter a shot? a dollar? whatever you want to donate fore each shot - and the money goes right to (E:strip). It would all be suggested donations.
Paul what you think?
Usually I get all fancy with my jello shots - but I've been a bit overworked and underpaid lately and I'm low on funds/time.... You will find a berry shot with little berries floating in them though... thats about as good as i'm getting this time around...
oh and don't forget - tonight is the breakdancing battle! starts at 8 as well... going to be great...
