Craig’s List
Craig’s List is a simple web page which lists alternative things / event to do in some major cities. Norfolk has a list, as does Atlanta, Miami, and it looks like Jacksonville’s is coming soon. Check out all the cities here.
So we are moving on to the kitchen…
With the end of the other projects wrapping up we are moving onto the kitchen which should be a much easier project… no drywall involved, only some minor destruction, and cabinet and tile installation.
Here are some pictures from Mill’s Pride website… the software is actually pretty damn good.

Here are some pictures of the existing kitchen for reference:

9/11 Commision Report
In case any of you wanted to read the 9/11 Commision Report, here ya go.
Minus 1 (or 2) small children
So it is time for me to post some weight loss pictures. I am kinda scared to show the world my half naked body, but I think it is important for you guys to see how truly overweight I was. My body is by no means ready for Men’s Health, but compared to the before pictures the change is quite drastic. Since January 1st, I have gone from 240 lbs to 183 lbs. My goal is 175ish, and yes, I am under a doctor’s supervision. For me to be considered “ideal” according to the BMI, I need to weigh 179 or less, given that I am 5’11”.
So, without further ado… from fat to skinny (not to be confused with “From Justin to Kelly“)
Although it might not look like it… I am not “pushing out” or “sucking in” in any of these pictures… I was really that fat.
Sidenote… Sherry and I just went to the store and I had noticed that my jeans were getting a little big… so we went to American Eagle and I fit into some 34s! So naturally I had to buy them. I can also fit into all the suits that PaPa gave me, and just had my good suit resized, and I can fit into my father’s tuxedo, which I havn’t been able to fit into since freshman year in college (I wore it to my senior prom).
A New low for MREs
How would you like to piss on your food before you eat it? Sounds good to me, but only as a last resort!
New company idea
I think I should buy a computer big enough to act as a server, and start a company that creates and hosts websites for individuals. All they would have to do is call me up, tell me they want a website, describe what they want, and I could do all the domain name registration, routing, email address setup, and design the pages for a nice price. I just don’t know what to charge to make it worth my while. I enjoy creating pages and showing people how easy it is to have your own webspace, and I have been doing it for peeps here and there over the years, why not just set it up so it is fast and easy, right. How much do you think is the appropriate cost for such a service? Leave a comment below to let me know.
The reason this recurring business idea is fresh is my brain is due to Heidi wanting a website for a new business she is thinking about starting. I put together a prototype site for her (hosting it on my free geocities account). I used Frontpage for the first time in my life to throw it together in about 1 hour. Check out the “Dig It Landscape” website and let me know what you think.
The only reason I am sharing this site with you guys is because I thought I made some pretty funny comments in news and services sections (I was getting bored making up example text).
Standards
So I work at a software company, and I don’t mean to sound like a geek-snob, but if you can’t work the printer, you should be fired on the spot. It is not that complex, people.
My office is right next to the printer so I get to personally check the stupid people and I have no outlet to tell them… you stupid idiot… stop wasting paper and take your time if it is so damn complicated for you. This one dude literally has to print EVERYTHING 3 times before he gets it right, and it is usually around 30 pages a pop. Can’t you read on your screen or email to someone else to read on their screen? You work at a company that protects email systems for goodness sakes. Use the half a brain you have to be more efficient. And stop cussing at the printer when it is only doing what you tell it to do. idiot (that was for the printer).
JibJab
Fun for the whole family… a Bush and Kerry sing-a-long.
PS I got this a while ago but the site was so slow…. this one is much faster.
New pictures
I have posted pictures to my flickr account for your viewing pleasure. There are some new ones of our progress todate… and some older ones from a family dinner with Regina’s cousins, Pearl and Charlotte.
6FU
Holy shit…. I have never been so intensely scared for someone’s life as I just spent the last hour. The best T.V. bar none is HBO’s Six Feet Under. I have never seen anything like it. It is the only reason that I have yet to cancel HBO. I have been hooked now since season 1 and it is the first time in my life (besides star trek: next generation) in high school, that I have planned events around at show.
The acting is the superb, the story lines are amazing, and visual imagery is wonderful. It is show that perfectly captures so much of the human life… if you have never watched, go rent the season disks from Blockbuster, or better yet, buy them from Amazon.
