Surfs Up, DUDE!!!!!

Aw yes! It’s the un-official start of Summer, Memorial Day Weekend!

I’m thinking today’s the perfect day to take me, the kids and my Babycakes out to the beach and have a barbecue and fun in the sun!!!!! WOO HOO!!!

Time to hit the beach!

– Beach towels? Check.
– Cooler stocked with Coca Cola? Heh. Always. Check.
– Gas in the car? Check.
– Swimming trunks, bathing suits for the kids, buckets, surfboard? Check!
– Sunscreen? Sunscreen is for wussies! (Then again with our pale blue-ish-white skin. OK, I’ll pick some up on the way) 😛

AND AWAAAAAAAY WE GO!!!!!!

Update, 8:25 am: Back to Reality – Aw dammit! Half-way out the door Carole just reminded me that I have to work today. 🙁
Ah well… at least I can sit at my desk and bathe in the sun’s rays in my mind….

Why I hate the Poconos (reason #22,406)

Screw you, Fernwood!

Every morning I’m snarled up in traffic as construction is going on in front of the place. Which is ok… there’s this hot-looking brunette guiding traffic. I’m surprised I haven’t caused a pileup as I’m not paying attention and watching her.

But that’s not the point either! Continue reading “Why I hate the Poconos (reason #22,406)”

Cake and Ice Cream for EVERYONE!

Problem adults: Offending everyone since 2005!Gawd DAMN! Time flies when you’re having fun, doesn’t it?

It was a year ago today that we launched Problem Adults. The goal was to make a safe and secure haven for all my friends. Express ourselves. Escape the pressures of every day life. Forge some solid friendships.

And I think we did it… and then some. 1,696 threads, 21,033 posts, 323 arcade games, almost 200 members have come & gone, photo gallery, and an interactive chat room… all in 365 days!

We’ve had lots of rocky times, brawls and controversial moments as well. We’ve made lots of enemies too. It’s been a wild ride!

Then again, if you’re not making enemies…. you’re not making a difference… right?

It doesn’t look like much from the outside… because all the fun is in hidden forums inside. Trust me! Come and join us. Have the time of your life and make some new friends and contacts. 🙂

The Poconos is (finally) blogging

It looks like the Pocono Record has succeeded in what they’ve wanted to do for some time… set up a section for blogs.

Blog the Poconos.

It’s about time someone thought of a blogging community in the Poconos. I know when I worked at the paper we tried a blog called “The Dirt” a while back, but nothing became of it.

I like this one. Very clean design, organized… and best of all, the entries are short and sweet. Like a blog should be. And what a great surprise to see Lois Heckman there. In between all her organizations, projects, activism, running a recording studio and being a Celebrant… I don’t know where she finds the time (???).

Good luck to them all. Check it out.

HELP! Contribute to the Nurse Ran tuition fund

As seen on ~T~ and Ran’s Blogs and all over CyberTown….

OK, this is a first
As some of you may or may not know, my ‘daughter’, my best friend, my roomie, has been going to school to become a nurse.
She has been doing so well, I’m so proud of her!! She only has one semester left until she graduates.
The problem is, according to their website she was supposed to get her financial aid…come to find out, she’s already used her max allotment during the fall and spring terms. And the money for her summer term is due on the 8th

She’s a little short on making her tuition or else she wont graduate… and she’s THIS close!

So we’re asking for a little help from you guys to contribute anything you can to the “Nurse Ran Tuition Fund” set up at PayPal.

~T~ and I go back years. She hosts 75% of my sites. She’s my partner at Problem Adults. This is totally legit, and knowing her and her pride… this is a DIRE situation. Cuz she’d NEVER ask for help otherwise.

A lot of good people have pitched in so far, they’re getting close to the goal… and every dollar counts. Wont you please help a young, struggling single mom become a nurse?
Thanks!

The five most important words I’ll ever say

DON’T. BELIEVE. EVERYTHING. YOU. READ.

I mean really. This is covered in “Web Survival 101”. In life, everything you know is because someone told you it is so (which is why certain regions have religions that they’re willing to kill for.)

The news is jaded as hell, and “Objective Journalism” is a thing of the past. Your best friend is full of shit. And for the life of me, I can’t think of a single time in my life where I ever got in trouble for lying…

The shit always hits the fan when I’m honest.

Anyway, my point.
The Internet is no better. It’s filled with sick bastards looking to prey on our kids, and crooks looking to get your credit card numbers and passwords. Like that famous line from the New Yorker several years ago: “On the Internet, no one knows you’re a dog.” You can be anything and anyone you want.

So why are you suddenly believing every word from every asshole that talks to you?

From Nikki Sixx’s blog:

It has been brought to my attention that there are a lot of people out there in MYSPACE land pretending to be me. I do not use myspace and anybody who is being sucked in by these leeches needs be aware. I have seen a few sites where there are people making plans to meet me,promises of backstage passes,etc etc.This is complete bullshit and I don’t want any of you sucked into it.

MySpace. Gee. What a shock.

We’d neeeeeeeeevvvvver have celebrity impersonators on Problem Adults. That’s for sure. 😀

DON’T. BELIEVE. EVERYTHING. YOU. READ.
That advice will increase your survival rate by 226%.

Oh and I’m seeeeeeriously considering never going the honest route with people ever again. Clearly most people want to live a lie and be lied to.
