It's very easy to forget that everything I have could be gone in the blink of an eye.

The freedom that I have to live without fear is slowly eroding in order to protect me from 'Terrorism'.  But what really scares me the most is that my children or my grand-children may grow up in a world that is so radically different.

This disgusts me to no end.  I have no desire to start a fight, but if we should be anywhere, it would be there.

While tending to the yard on Saturday I discovered a RIFA infestation.  The discovery was made when I felt them stinging my left foot.

If you have never been on the receiving end of a RIFA attack let me tell you that you don't want to be.

Luckily, I tend to do my yard tending barefoot and in shorts or it could have been worse.  Since I had no shoes on the first thing that the RIFA got hold of was my foot which meant that I felt the stings before they got above my ankle.  I can only suspect that if I had been wearing the proper yard tending attire then they would have been able to climb higher and inflict more damage.

Right now I have at least 20 sting sites that have become small white pustules on my left foot.

Between the scorpions (Centruroides Vittatus), RIFA, and Spiders ([Black-and-Yellow Argiope] I have one of these in the backyard right now) I'm tempted to move back north where the cold weather would keep them at bay.

In relation to BOB...

Ask any guy and they would happily perform carnal acts with a pretty face no matter the amount of empty space.  But ask them if they could stand to be with someone who can't carry on a conversation at their level and the response will in most cases be just the opposite.

Let me be perfectly clear here...SMART GIRLS ARE HOT!!!  Dumb girls are for one-time use only (if that).

I never once went for the stupid girls when I was school primarily because I couldn't stand the lack of coherent thought.  And now, many years later, the stupid women are just as annoying.

I turned another day older on Monday.  Nothing special, just another day.

Of course, it was on that day 29 years ago that I came into the world and things would never be the same.

I came home from work to be greeted by three little monsters.  And the serenades from co-workers throughout the day were enough to make my ears bleed (some people should never sing).

Just another day.  I don't make a big deal about it and I really don't care.  I stopped counting long ago.

Our perfect fit starts on Monday and I've got Fridays off for the entire month of June. Maybe I should play the lottery.

It's been quite some time since I've seen a movie in IMAX format. I really need to strike it rich so that I can have one of those in my own home. I went to the 00:30 (12:30 AM) showing of 300 and was more than pleased. No previews, no ads, just the movie. At exactly 00:30 the theatre went dark and the movie started. Wall to wall sight and sound engulfed me.

I can't speak nearly as well of 300 as I did of Reign over me, but I can say that I enjoyed it. It provided a different perspective that, if nothing else, led me to explore the history behind the story. If only more history could be portrayed in this way.

I previously mentioned the joy of being able to feel that little monster as it reacts to being poked and prodded. A couple of nights ago, I placed my head on my wifes belly and began talking. It wasn't long before I was summarily kicked in the head...repeatedly. I can't say that I'll enjoy it in another 5 months but for now I can't complain.

The wife and kids decided to spend this weekend with her family so I have been left to my own vices this weekend. Adding to the fact that I've also got Friday (today) off work, that makes for a very quiet, long weekend that will allow me to both catch up on alot of stuff and wind down from other stuff.

As I sat doing absolutely nothing yesterday afternoon, I decided that I would go see a movie if I felt like it. It was 10 PM before I felt like it so I didn't have much to choose from and almost decided against going until I noticed that there was a late showing (10:50) of Reign Over Me and it had been one of those things that I wanted to see when I saw the original preview.

Wow. An emotional rollercoaster to say the least. Very good acting on the part of Adam Sandler in his portrayal of a man who lost everything as a result of September 11th. All in all, a very intense mental drama that was played very well.

I'm thinking that I'll go see 300 this evening. May even go for the IMAX version.

Anyone here ever tried to build a multi-lingual website?

Me neither. But I began that process last week and I'm having to consider the ramifications of it this week. This particular site is already 90% database driven but adding in multi-lingual support is becoming a major challenge in trans-dimensional thinking. With more than 300 sections to the main site and over 100 sub-level departments and sections making this kind of change is huge.

In one instance, I've combined translation tables and translation arrays with language flags to determine if a page is available in another language and, depending on the language requested, return an entirely different site.

I'm also trying my hardest to remember those spanish classes I took back in high school...

Hola, me llamo es bingo. Tengo gusto de subir en cosas. ¿Puedo tener un plátano? Eek. Eek.
