hello.

Thank you all so much for coming back.

Just wanted to write about today cuz I am bored. I just was thinking about the new website I've always wanted to start. A site with flash cartoons and stuff. That would be sweet. anywho. I finally bucked up and downloaded new flash writing stuff onto the compy. and did some more work on some really old flash animations and stuff. So, one of these days that site will actually be up. I can hardly wait. for now, moe the alien and frank the not alien grace the background of this site, just waiting for the day when they can move through the glory that is flash. Anyway, I am rambling and begining to sound really nerdy, so I'll stop now.

ok bye!

ok, I'm back. Please hold your applause.

It's very nice to be home. No more sleeping in a tent. No more paddling a canoe all day. No more dehydrated food that is supposed to hydrate you. No more mosquitos.

Alrighty,

Boundary waters was a freakin' great time. Mosquitos are a pain though. I was seriously wearing like 6 layers of buy spray and they just kept biting me. So I put on more bug spay. They kept biting. put on a long sleeve shirt. kept biting (through the fricken shirt) Took some of those mosquito coils and tried to get my clothes to absorb the smoke. kept biting.

Did nothing at all. They stopped.

So it turns out that the less you try and do to stop the mosquitos, the more they'll leave you alone. Thank goodness I found that out on the last day of the trip. Anywho, mosquito bites on the knuckles are the most annoying thing in the world. I was wearing gloves for the trip so I wouldn't blister my hands so I have a really hardcore bicycle glove tan. It's pretty sweet. I've taken two showers since I got back, but I still smell like feet. and not good feet either. stinky, stinky feet. and I have aluminum from the side of the canoe stuck to my fingers. what a pain.

But the trip was definatley fun. Did some fishing. Everybody was mad because fishing comes naturally to me. must run in the family. When everybody else was fishing I would sleep. Then, just about when fishing was over, I would wake up, cast twice, and catch a ginormous fish. I got really used to eating fish on this trip. Fish is good. mmmm fish.

Anyway, it's like 12:32 now and I should be asleep because it's just getting to be the wee hours of the night. Especially because I'm still on MN time.

ok bye!

Quote of the day:

cannibalpacker: jim's alive and not drowning in the land of 10,000 lakes! hooray jim!!

spanish word: -- / --

(I don't take spanish class in the summer, and I'm too lazy to look anything up)

Basement Lingo:

This week is just a correction on an old basement lingo. I have noticed that people have been using the word fish incorrectly. While the word fish can be used to replace a swear word, it must replace the whole word, not just a section.

For example:

When replacing the F word:

"FISH!"

"FISHING!"

"FISHED"

"FISH YOU"

but not:

"MOTHER-FISHER"

Just thought I would clarify that.

Current mood: I was trying to find one that looked like it had mosquito bites, this was the closest I got.

Also, depending on your resolution, the white thing down the middle may be off. So lemme know.

ok, finally. My site is done for the time being. No more late night fussing. thanks a lot to john for helping me out with stuff. Site looks better than ever. comment and tell me what you think. I'm leaving for boundary waters on thursday morning and will be gone for a week.

This means no Catch 22 concert .

But the trip should be fun. I'm not sure if I'll post again before I leave, so if I don't this is goodbye for a while.

I'll try and give you a good long post when I get back. For now, enjoy my new background, featuring moe the alien and frank the not-alien. anywho. that's that.

Kill? or no kill? the fate of the cursor lies in your hands. anywho.

The band even hired the guys over at homestarrunner.com to do a music video for this awesome cool song. It's like the best thing ever. With an awesome performance by strong sad. I've been rocking out to it all day.

hey, I found another cool random generator. Maybe I should make a random generator of the week link. I think I will

random generator of the week.

The random business proposal generator.

http://www.flooble.com/fun/proposal.php

Here's mine:

Date: July 14, 2004, 11:30 pm
From: "Deeoni Boondwaka Jr." (address classified)
To: Undisclosed Recepient(s)

Dear Sir.

Your contact information was referred to me by one of my trusted contacts, whose name I am not at liberty to compromize. I would like to approach you with reguards to a profitable Business Proposal, reguarding the transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars into your Bank Account. For reasons I am sure you will appreciate, I ask that you keep this commucation confidential, and avoid it falling into the hands of any agents of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police that may be operating in Your area.

My name is Deeoni Boondwaka Jr., and I am the Son of Dr. Deeoni C., the recently Assassinated Leader of the Freedom Fighters of Canada. If you have been following the events in my country over the last few years, you will remember the big scandal that took place when Dr. C. was brutally gunned down in front of his vacation house, just outside of the capital.

You see, my Father had a lot of enemies , even among the Opposition, who envied his great secret fortune. It was they who removed him in the hope to gain access to the money accumulated over his long career as a Freedom Fighter. Fortunately, there was too much scandal and media coverage in the aftermath of Dr. C.'s murder for them to move openly to claim his money. This gave me and a few trusted people who were still loyal to my Father, an opportunity to move the money into a secret account at the Second Central Bank of Canada.

While we managed to do this without the Royal Canadian Mounted Police becoming aware of our activities, the money cannot remain in this account, because at the end of the tax year, all deposits and interest will be reported to the Taxation Bureau of Canada, where our enemies have informants in their pay. The only option available to us, is transfering the money to a trusted partner who is a foreign national and cannot be linked to Dr. Deeoni C. in any way.

As your name was brought to my attention by a very trusted contact in Canada's Foreign Office, I have been authorized by my partners to contact you with this Proposal. All that would be required of you is the use of your bank account to perform a transfer of TEN MILLION ($10000000) U.S. Dollars. Once the money has been deposited, one of Dr. C.'s other Sons will contact you, at which point you will release SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($7500000) of the amount into his custody.

I am authorized by my Father's estate in Canada to offer you the remaining TWO MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($2500000) as a compensation for your services. Because the money would only need to be in your bank account for a few days, and your danger of being discovered by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is minimal, we believe the commission of TWENTY FIVE PERCENT (25 %) to be more than generous.

Once I have received Your consent and Bank Account number, I will be able to make a claim under Your name with The Canadian National Lottery for the above sum. We have a friend on the Board Of Oversight in that organization who has assured me that the claim will be processed without raising any red flags, and the money will be released into Your Bank Account no later than within SEVEN (7) days from the time I receive your response.

I am at your disposal to answer any questions you may have about this Transaction, so don't hesitate to contact me via telephone, at +1-555-555-6366 (Just ask for Deeoni). I eagerly await your reply, though I must ask you to treat this matter with great secrecy, lest you betray me and my partners to the agents of Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

Respectfully Yours,

Deeoni Boondwaka Jr.

hey, I found the funniest thing today.

A random blog generator.

So, on days when I have nothing to write maybe I'll just go to http://www.flooble.com/fun/bloggen.php

and find something like this.....

I think I resent my grandpa Bob. At times he is quite crazy, then yesterday he just fascinated me... I asked for his help watching a TV show about ingratitude of the European lowlands, then he interrupted:

"Get out! I love the European lowlands so much!"

At first I screamed "OH MAN!" then this morning I just subsided and began sobbing. After all, he *is* my grandpa and all he cares about is my own good...

ok bye!

I know I said I would put in Belize stories, which I will do soon. But for now I want to write about something that is making me extremely mad. So, I lost my cell phone at six flags today. I've been calling it all day. A couple minutes ago, I call, somebody picks up.

Me: Hello? Hello?

the stupid jerk who has my phone sounds like a 3 year old girl. but later I heard some actual words. So now I think it is two girls around my age. Now they won't even answer when I call my phone. I'm forced to cut off the fricken service. Now my dad probably won't let me get a new phone. Fricken meh!
