Phones And Bacteria
Category: mobile
No, bacteria did not eat my phone thank god because I love it. I am able to get 1360kbps on ATT's new HSPDA 3G network in Buffalo. Thats so fast.

I almost killed a bunch of people trackng my driving with the built in GPS. I guess that is why they have the don't use while driving warning.

I bought some bacteria for my stomach. We will see how that goes.

The company that makes my phone it HTC. I found this graphic on some forum. It eplains how I feel about my phone.

I love that little graphic that is so hot bouncing up and down with her purple hair. I don't know as it helps to Sell Phones but I'm sure it can't hurt.
drew - 12/02/07 07:33
your phone makes you sore? 'cause she's gotta be after doing that over and over and over.
tinypliny - 12/01/07 23:14
1,360 kbps = 170 KBps - that's faster than my DSL.

BTW, do you eat at regular intervals? Are there huge gaps between your breakfast, lunch and dinner?

Patrick Oneill Chiropratic on Bidwell
Category: health
I went to Patrick Oneill Chiropractic on Bidwell in order to get my neck fixed as per my previous post. I just did it on a whim. I had never been to a chiropractor before and had no real idea of what it was going to be like. No one recommended him to me. I just saw the sign on his office.

image

It seems to have fixed my neck. Even the Chiropractor wouldn't believe it. Seriously, it made such a difference.

Here's the hitch. I went back today for a follow up and it didn't do anything new. Then he asked to schedule another appointment for next week but now I am feeling diminishing returns. So I ask myself, is going the first time like getting high the first time when you are a kid and then you always try to go back to that place but never can until you just give up or die. If that is the case then I would just quit now before I have to deal with years of chiropractic costs - not that it is very expensive.

$50 for the first appointment and $35 for follow-ups.
tinypliny - 12/01/07 23:27
I think you should pin-point the source of this neck pain. An overwhelming majority is due to wrong posture and stooping over work and working on desks with the wrong height. Instead of spending all this money on fixing the neck pain, I would recommend getting a ergonomic assessment of your work-spaces both at the office and at home.
mike - 12/01/07 11:45
you should keep going for maintenance i think. at least periodically. It is a small price to pay for a healthy back!

Other Stuff
Category: elmwood
We ate at JP Bull Feathers in the basement for lunch. For some reason I never eat there, but it was quite tasty.
image

The elmwood sign almost blew off in the wind storm
image

I had to work so hard to not take it home. I left it up to whip off and kill some one. Which was really the moral choice?
image

This on is for (e:leetee) in regards to her comment on (e:paul,42336). Does my back look straighter?
image

I think I should just write in my journal more. It makes me happier. Thanks guys.

hot ass bro
theecarey - 12/02/07 16:33
well said, (e:dragonlady17)

and to (e:leetee) for her astute observation that encouraged this picture posting, haha
dragonlady7 - 12/02/07 16:17
No man, you don't need to write more, you just need to post more pictures of your ass. :D That makes EVERYONE happy. Amirite?
tinypliny - 12/01/07 23:30
Wonder who got that sign - either by intent or by misfortune.
james - 11/30/07 22:50
Your back looks straight. But your backside looks like it needs a spanking.

Muhammed the Teddybear
Category: religion

"85% of all Sudanese are below the absolute poverty level (which means their lives are in danger because they do not have enough money to provide food, water, and shelter for themselves)."



(e:ajay,42342), I can't believe that story either about the British teacher who was working in Sudan, and let her students name a class teddybear Muhammed. She is now in hiding under death threats from angry mobs learned her lesson about helping poor people in third world countries.

I think it is time we just give up hope on all the ones that have fundamentalist religions of any nature and poverty combined, which is about all of them. Its a hopeless case, I say let them all fight each other to death or eat themselves. Someday when everyone else is goin g to heaven, I am going to be judged for that statement.

image

I can't really believe it but I am really over the top sick of religious freaks getting all angry about stupid shit. It is a teddybear. I don't care what some crazy, obsessive compulsive person wrote down in a book ages ago and you believe - it is a freakin' teddybear and you people are whackos. Don't you have better things to worry about - like where your food is?

I am so angry about this I am about to rename Basra - muhammed in protest - an he is just a dirty, eat his own shit kind of beast.
tinypliny - 12/01/07 22:41
"Don't you have better things to worry about - like where your food is?"

I think it is to avoid worrying about these crucial things that they are "worrying" about absurd things. Most of the times, wars and fights are about ridiculously lame things. :/
mike - 11/30/07 21:27
i don't believe you really care about this. Unless it is a vermont teddy bear than we get a part of thep rofits so then it works like maybe more will sell now.
james - 11/30/07 20:12
Not only is it just a fucking teddy bear, but Mohammed is such a common name if you yelled it out half the heads would turn.

I don't know if this is fueled by religious idiocy or anti-westernism.

I have stuff I want to talk about
Category: life
Movies
I don't ever want to see another movie where they shoot children. I am over violent movies altogether really. I just don't want to see movies anymore. I hate movies. All of them.

Surebert 4.0
I released surebert 4.0 but the website still reflects the 3.21 version until I get a chance to update that. Right now it is at No one cares probably.

Death
Someone died but I am not going to talk about it until later... It is no one that you know.

Food
I went to Pho 99. I am not a big fan of asian food under $10 as it usually is substandard ingredients. Pho 99 usually tastes good. I mean, I like the lemon grass chicken but what are those chewy odd shaped bits that taste ok.

However, today the hair in my eggroll just kind of ruined it for me. I took a picture so everyone could want to vomit like I did. I guess I ate the other half of the hair. At least it was deep fried. I managed to make it all the way through lunch without telling everyone so that they weren't grossed out. It was really hard to do that.
image

Stomach
My stomach still hurts and is causing me a huge amount of stress.

Neck
My neck no longer hurts and I can turn it. Do I bother going back for my scheduled follow up at the chiropractor tomorrow? I have to say I feel great but am seriously a little scared to go back.

Lungs
I ran home in the freezing wind because of the news and my lunsg hurt for like 25 minutes afterwards. Don't run in freezing wind.

Drugs
I need some sort of anti-anxiety drug in high quantities right now. I am seriously about to have a nervous breakdown about nothing particular, which is not a fun feeling.

Time off
I have like 3 days left to take off 13+4 hours which is impossible with my workload. Great!

Haircut
Last night I cut my hair.
Before
image

I had this horrible zit/cut/scratch/infection on the back of my head that was seriously stressing me out so much that I shaved my head. Will it please get the fuck off of me now. Either that or consume me quickly and just end it. But let me tell you zit, that if I die, you die too.

At first I thought there were only a few white hairs
image

But then there were so many
image

After the haircut
image

Obligatory Paul is a cyborg with a new phone shot.
image

This is how I feel tonight
image

The fuckin' bridge
Is it going to be a signature bridge or a twin span. NO, because it is like 40 feet long so finish it already. Everytime I look at it, it makes me think abou tall the stupid things that never get completed. (e:jim) says it started on fire, and it is definately a bit crooked now. How hard can it be to either put it up or knock it down.
image
james - 11/30/07 17:36
Sorry you aren't feeling your normal super-Paul self.
If it makes you feel better Jim keeps telling me about Surebert. yippy!

The haircut looks good.

And to follow up on (e:mike)'s comment. I saw a bacon candy bar at premier.

feel better Paul. If you need anything just let me know.
museumchick - 11/30/07 14:01
Hey... take care of yourself. I hope you'll be feeling better soon:).
fellyconnelly - 11/30/07 09:45
sorry you aren't having a great time right now paul.. but to reiterate leetee - i like your hair short.
also i'm loving the colors on surebert 4.0 and it looks like you did a great job laying that all out.

also... (e:mike) are you kidding about the bacon candy bar? please provide documentation!
paul - 11/30/07 09:38
Thanks for the hugs leetee,
I also thought that chiropracters were not real but seriously, my neck has been messed up for about a year and now it is just about totally fine. I mean I had constant headaches and everything. It made enough noise that I think something really happend and by shoulder is no longer crooked. I would say they probably can't sure everything but they definately can do something about neck and shoulder alignment.
mike - 11/30/07 00:44
you know what cures everything from stomach aches to gray hair to boredom to unbuilt bridges...bacon...seriously it cures everything ...and goes with everything...i actually heard there is a bacon candy bar coming out soon...DELICIOUS!
leetee - 11/30/07 00:42
I'm so with you on movies that have violence towards children. Creeps me out.

Yay for Surebert 4.0!

I am so sorry to hear about the someone that died.

Never been to Pho 99... where is it? I don't mind eating hair... i kinda feel like being a hairdresser i ate a lot whether i meant to or not. And it doesn't look like a pube....

Stress can cause stomach issues (the story of my life), so i hope you are not in a vicious cycle!!

Yay that your neck doesn't hurt. Don't as me about chiropractors. I think they are all fake snake oil pushing bastards.

Glad your lungs feel better... and i am sure i will not be running in any kind of wind...

I wonder if anti-anxiety drugs will help your stomach issues?

Good luck with the time off situation!

I like you better with shorter hair... you look like a cute lil raver boy... with a few grey hairs. I wonder if you can convince people you coloured them that way on purpose?

How come we can't see your naked butt in any of the new "i just cut my hair/beard and got a new camera" shots anymore??!??

Don't walk on the bridge until it's completed!

(((((((((( (e:Paul) ))))))))))
