October 24, 2002: [•] I’m working on df.com version 5. Got some great ideas from BrokenReality. We’re constantly bouncing art ideas off each other through AIM. Does that count as cyber-critiquing? LOL Expect the site re-launch by Monday if all goes well. — flAnnelmAn
October 23, 2002: [•] The saga of separation continues: Started working on my Order of Separation from my wife. It will take about two weeks to process and then for all intents I will independent of my wife yet still married (Confused? I’m with you. Just smile and nod.). After a year either of us can file for an uncontested divorce from the filing date of the original Separation Order. This is more of courtesy to Mel then a must do thing because she needs health insurance until she can find her own. I don’t simply want to boot her out and leave her dry. That isn’t fair to her. Besides she relied on me for three years and now she needs time to get her life in order. Hopefully she can get everything together in a year. Once again, I don’t want this to be one of those divorces where we come out hating each other. Indeed, that would suck. [•] BrokenReality has gotten 10,000 hits to his site. Congratulations! [•] Skyler’s going through a lot of crap right now so if you see her give her a hug– she needs one. [•] Immy has cooked up a new Stack Ups! based video game called STACKANOIDS! Download it RIGHT HEEEAA~! [•] I went to the Goshen diner last night with V and Broken. I got back home then balanced my checkbook. The good news is I’m going to make it bill wise, but just by the skin of my teeth. UGH! Why does it seem I never have enough money even though I make more than most people in my situation? It’s just mind boggling sometimes. I have no extra cash, period. At least Gette is well cared for. That is my biggest concern. Had a busy day in general though yesterday: Attorney, oil change on the Focus, clean the flAnnelcAve, food shopping, and starting to tie up a lot of loose ends in life. Today is going to be information digging day: Got to get information on my life insurance, salary, and finalize the numbers that will determine my child support. Fun, fun, fun! I can’t wait for all the paperwork, debt, and law service costs to be finalized then paid off. I really want this all done by November because I need to start Christmas shopping. I want this to be a good Christmas for Gette and hopefully I will be able to make it good. God knows I need a miracle right now, but I have high hopes that I’ll get through this okay. At least I can smile and say that single life is going better than expected. Aight, peace out homies!
October 21, 2002: [•] New Stack Ups!; so go read it. [•] Last night, after work, I watched WWE No Mercy at Immy‘s. Rock, Mermaid, BrokenReality, Skyler, and Damiana all showed up. It was a good time and no one died (which is always good). The show itself mostly sucked ass until the Hell In The Cell Match between Brock and Undertaker. Brock handed the Undertaker his death in a bucket and I’m pretty sure that Undertaker will need a blood transfusion today. The man wasn’t just crimson masked, he was near comatose. Brock barely broke a sweat and and at this point I don’t think anyone can take him out in the WWE right now. Excellent match. I fear the writers are building to Brock versus Triple H at the next PPV. Normally, I would loathe any match that Triple H (a.k.a. I use my knees and hump the boss’s daughter so I get a 10 minute entrance a la Goldberg for no apparent reason). Last night HHH put everyone to sleep right before he used his knee and a (surprise) sledgehammer. I’m convinced that if you put HHH in the ring with the Bigshow they both couldn’t muster more than four different wrestling moves before they would be forced to punching each other repetitively for 15 minutes straight. Result: Stupid match (even Kane looked like he was going to fall asleep 90% of the time). Then again, most wrestlers know how to wrestle; a skill which both of Triple H sorely lacks. My hope: Brock will break HHH like the bitch he is. Funny moment of the night goes to Jericho who tried to lionsault onto Booker T only to have the second rope break under his weight. Some Teamsters are getting fired somewhere LOL. Jericho visibly twisted his ankle, but managed to work his way (through some improvisation on everyone’s part) to a third rope lionsault (a move that was banned by the WWE months ago thus making it all the more kick ass). Good match. Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie were in nothing, but sports bras and micro hot pants. Mental note: Record on work’s TiVo then replay of that show and spit it out to DivX for future use 🙂 Rob Van Dam versus Ric Flair was good, but nevertheless I really didn’t watch it. Maybe I am just getting tired of Flair period. Retire my friend; it is time. Benoit and Angle are my new favorite tag team. In fact, for the past two years I’ve hated tag team matches in general (can you say completely confusing suck ass wrestling), but they are simply great together. I am really looking forward to their next match. Result: Very good. Trish Stratus needs to stop wrestling and simply start coming down to the ring naked. Problem solved. Immy theorizes that Brock versus Hogan II and Flair versus Triple H are the next main events this coming month. He’s usually right, but I’m going to venture a guess anyhow: Brock versus Triple H (unification match) and Kane versus Rick Flair as the second tier main event. I pick the winners as Kane and Triple H (even if he doesn’t deserve to be the “Brock breaker”, but God knows that’s what they’re going to do). Oh yeah: Tajiri versus Jamie Noble was good too; if not slightly forgettable. 🙂 [•] Tomorrow promises to be an “interesting” day: I’ve got to clean my apartment (ugh… I hate when the place gets dirty), go food shopping, get child support to my wife, get the separation arrangement drawn up with my attorney (yes… tomorrow I become officially single– stand back ladies), move a bed and a fridge over to Mel’s (more space rules!), get an oil change, deposit my paycheck, pay my bills, get the mail from my PO Box (hopefully none of you sent me anthrax AGAIN), and maybe hang out with someone (all work and no play… well that’s my life and it sucks). End of post. BEEP!
October 20, 2002: [•] Monkey? [•] How about cow instead? [•] Prepare to laugh: Christina Aguilera’s new video, Dirrty, features posters that promote the Thai underage sex industry. [•] How do you defend your country from an impending invasion? Release all your criminals onto the street! Don’t worry Saddam the US can respond in kind: We’ll send over both the Bloods and the Crypts to jack your ass. 🙂 [•] Had another night of mayhem with V. Ran into my old friend Vampire Craig. Hadn’t seen him in over two years. Caught up on old times and hopefully we’re going to going hang out soon. Should be… dangerous. LOL Speaking of danger: Remember that Dr. Pepper soda and a keyboard don’t mix well. AIGHT!
October 19, 2002: [•] This morning was a very tea only morning. Damn you acid reflux! Last night over at V’s I watched part of Comedy Central‘s “first original” movie Porn N’ Chicken (which basically isn’t very original, but anyhow) and I thought there was one interesting thing. During the movie the main characters, whose names escape me (it was just that good of a movie), decide to make a porno film to buck the establishment (cause God knows that when the Bay of Pigs happened in Cuba the first thing they did was make a gang bang movie after overthrowing the government). They named the porno film The Staxxx and that is oddly close to Immy‘s Stack Ups!. I just found that very interesting; I don’t know why. Maybe it was ironic or maybe… naw, I was just up too late last night again LOL. 🙂 Other than that life has been good overall. I’m in a great mood once again. I might as well enjoy it while it lasts. My apartment needs to be cleaned, but that will wait until Tuesday when I get the day off. Tonight I get an oil change, so that’s cool. It’s the little things that are making the Focus run better. I can’t wait to do some REAL mods though. I’m itching here people! Turbo! Turbo! Chant with me: Turbo! Turbo! 🙂 I’m done now.
