hopefully the next post will be sooner than two weeks away

So two weeks ago I last updated and since then I have just been busy and housesitting for my father, so I have had a crappy computer to work with and crappy dialup. To go with this, I just havent been around much seeing as I have been working more than 40 hours a week and for this past one I have been doing a basketball camp that sucked up about another 25 hours. So I havent been able to post very much (or at all).

Nothing new has really happened at all. My feet hurt, I am a bit sore, my hair is getting longer and that is about it.

Now for random tidbits: I learned something about Vermont lingo a couple of weeks back. In Vermont the proper expression for saying something just happened is 'just barely.' Everyone else apparently says 'just'.

ex/ 'I just barely took a piss' as compared to, 'I just took a piss'

Just an interesting fact.


My neighbors moved to tennessee last summer and left their house for their daughter and her boyfriend to live in. The daughter is pregnant and the boyfriend is a druggie, smoker and alcoholic who has bad friends. Apparently the parents dont like the boyfriend much and kelly (the mother) told me today that if anything happens, I am supposed to go over to their house and lay the boyfriend out. I found this an interesting job to do (I doubt I would, but I would try to get her help).



The capitol of Australia is Canberra



A line from a song that I decided that I liked is "cupid works for the devil"...sounds about right.



Something that I find interesting is that exactly one deity made the transition from being a greco-roman god to being truly accepted in christian society. (thirty cents to whoever knows it before I tell you). The deity is Cupid or Eros. It is also amusing to note that in most traditional mythology, said deity was supposed to be a beautiful youth (teenager to young adult), but even that was to indecent for christianity, so they had him transformed into a baby (it appears that a bunny wouldnt quite work, no matter how prolific breeders the species is). It should also be noted that the transformation into a baby made him a being incapable of reproduction and furthermore, they decided not to take my suggestion of just making him a eunuch...also a being incapable of reproducing, but at least he would be fun for some people to look at.



Some eunuchs were/are still capable of sex...sorta like getting a vasectomy, but a bit more painful.


Ok, I am done with tidbits for tonight, hopefully I will write more later this weekend.

Noodle out.
