Microsoft fires employee for his blog post
Oct. 30 — Michael Hanscom admits it probably wasn’t the best idea. He thought the photo on his personal blog of Apple computers being offloaded at a Microsoft loading dock might get a couple of smirks from friends. He never imagined it would cost him his job. full article | his actual post
I guess I better watch my ass huh? Bah, yea right! ¶ 10/30/2003 04:24:00 PM 0 comments

Vick on Vick
By Mike Vick, as told to David Fleming, ESPN The Magazine
Mike Vick's cool style and cooler mastery of his position had him, at 23, on the verge of becoming a transcendent sports icon. He was in demand for commercials and set to grace the cover of The Mag's NFL preview. Then, as you may know, Vick broke his right fibula in an August preseason game against Baltimore. We lost our cover, he lost his season and the NFL lost its biggest star. Although Vick's return this year is still uncertain, we checked in with him recently to see how he's holding up. "Come on," he said during rehab at the Falcons facility. "Let's walk, let's talk." We mostly listened. -D.F.
The day before the Baltimore game, we had our annual kickoff luncheon for our fans at the Georgia Dome. Toward the end, Dan Reeves gave me the team MVP award. When I went up to accept it, I grabbed the mike and yelled, "Hopefully, I'll see y'all in Texas for the Super Bowl."
The next day I was getting carried off the field.
I was set to blow up this year. All the work I did this off-season made me feel like I'd be 10 times better. I came out in the preseason opener against Green Bay and ran around, had some fun and scored on two possessions. I came to the sidelines thinking, "That's a wrap on preseason."
Then I'm out there playing almost a full quarter against Baltimore and, for the first time in my career, I was playing not to get hurt. And look what happened. Before the injury I was on the field wondering why I was still out there. I was very upset about that. I felt like I should have played two possessions, not a whole quarter. Anybody who asks me, to this day -- including Coach Reeves -- I'll tell them it was crazy for me to be out there risking injury. They lost me. Lost me for who knows how long.
It hurts the team. When Steve Young and Dan Marino went down, their teams weren't the same. Chemistry changes. Everybody feeds off the quarterback. He controls the whole game, the whole team. When you're in the huddle, giving them that play, they see the belief in your eyes. If I tell a lineman not to jump or I'll put my foot in his a-s-s, he won't jump. Or if I say, "We need a f -- ing yard and if we can't get a yard, we need to get off this damn field." Then it's like, boom, we get it.
The hardest part for me has been not feeling like part of the team. I feel like I let my teammates down. I scrambled on a play that I didn't have to. I was trying to make something happen, which I shouldn't have done. So I've realized I have to be more cautious and protect myself.
I won't say I've been depressed. But I've been down, real down. I tried to shower the first night I was home. Couldn't do it. The leg was so swollen and sore I couldn't even touch it. So I tried to stand just on my left leg under the water. But the blood rushed to the right leg, and it throbbed so bad I had to lay down. I was alone in my room, just looking at my leg in a cast, going, "damn."
I spent that first week alone, up in my room. I played PlayStation. I read a ton. I had a lot of time to myself. I learned a lot about myself. I got to see my life and the game from a different perspective. It was so easy my first two years. This made me grow up a lot. Now I know I can deal with anything this league throws at me. Shoot, I'm gonna be even more dangerous. When I come back, goal No.1 will be to get us back to .500. But it's hard to go on a winning streak in this league. So I'm also just looking forward to playing a team that's winning and beating them and knocking them out of the playoffs. That's what I'll do, I'll be the league's silent killer. I'll come back and play with a lot of love and passion and have an impact no matter what. Because I have missed this game so much. You don't even know.
But I won't come back until I'm completely ready. I won't come back until I can cut like I used to, at full speed with no worry, no soreness and no fear. And if that doesn't happen? I'm sorry, I'm not coming back this season. I'll be a Falcon for a long time. I have a lot of time to win that Super Bowl. I was looking forward to this being the year. But I know now, next year or the year after that -- one of those years is gonna be our year.
When I do step back on the field, I'm still going to think I'm the best player out there. I still have a lot of confidence. I was joking the other day that if I ran a 4.2 before the injury, shoot, now I probably run a 4.1. There's still Mike Vick up here and all the other quarterbacks down there. They're all great quarterbacks. But what I do is different. You gotta break one of my bones to stop me, right? When I get back, if you try to stop me from running, boom, I hit the hot receiver singled up outside. Now try to stop me from passing. Cool. You left the middle open. Bam. I'm gone for a big gain. First down. Let's go. Let's go.
Aw, man, football is so much fun.
I know teams are going to try and test me when I come back. I know they're going to come after me, see what the injury has done to me, see if it's changed me at all. So come after me. Test me. Blitz me. I invite the blitz. I welcome it. Please.
You won't catch me. You still won't catch me.

NBA Season Starts!!!
The following are the players that I'll be paying most attention to this year... They are the players I have on one or more fantasy teams. I have four fantasy teams. Only Kenyon Martin and Richard Jefferson, both of the New Jersey Nets, made all four teams. Lebron James, Tony Parker, and Richard Hamilton lead a good solid group of guys who made three of my teams. Tim Duncan, Carmelo Anthony, and a couple other noteables made two of the teams. Scattered on a few other teams are players like Tracy McGrady, Karl Malone, Jason Kidd, and Yao Ming to name a few. I don't have Kobe or Shaq on any of my teams. I wish I had Gary Payton.

New Look Lakers
Gary Payton looked great in his official Laker debut. As did Karl Malone. The Lakers whooped the Mavericks last night to start the season on a great note. Kobe however didn't play.
Please note: This was the 27th time in a row that LA has beat Dallas in LA. The last time Dallas has come into LA and beat the Lakers was in 1990. Wow. ¶ 10/29/2003 06:55:00 AM 0 comments

I have the biggest god damned zit on the right side of my nose... It is really annoying.. I think I will chop it off tonight with a knife. Fuck beauty.
Whats annoying is not how it makes my appearance that much more classy, but the fact that it is obstructing my vision. I frankly just can't see around it. (okay, im over exaggerating, its not that bad, but I do see it if i look at my nose) ¶ 10/28/2003 02:00:00 PM 0 comments

Quitting Liquids
Maybe I should just stop drinking coffee and water. It's just the more you drink the more you have to get up, stop what you are doing, and go to the bathroom. It's quite annoying. I mean, I'm not gonna switch to less cause that is just crazy talk. More? Well that would be dangerous. Hmm, but maybe there is a threshold that I can cross and then I won't have to go to the bathroom. Like, right now I am teetering on the edge of drinking enough to make me use the facilities quite often but if I just keep drinking will there eventually be a peak in the interval time and then eventually it will occur that I don't need to go at all? Probably not. You know and I know that its a direct relationship. There is no close to 0, but never touching... It never comes close. It's like a y=x kinda deal... not a y/x... BAHH.. Whatever... Okay, I'll be back. I have to go use the facilities.

Old Stuff
I just pasted in the archives from 2001 and 2002, perhaps there is other stuff from earlier somewhere.... Eventually what is there could be separated out into individual blog entries but for now I am too lazy to do that.
Oh, I also fixed all the pictures that were on all the other pages so there shouldn't be any issues viewing the page on any display setting. Anyway, take care.

Oh YEAH!
"On August 25th, someone crashed a truck into a brick wall on the campus of The University of Maryland. The gaping hole was covered with a banner until repairs could be made. Fast forward to October 22nd, a prankster who uses the nickname Mystic Pixel and his pals used the opportunity to erect a monument to the all time greatest wall-breaker, The Kool-Aid Man! Unfortunately, the joke was short lived, as over zealous campus security removed the big red guy about 3 hours after it was erected." ¶ 10/25/2003 10:34:00 AM 0 comments

Survivor content
F YOU JOHN..
i swear if i was on that island and i would kill that little traitor kid.... close call for R man.
meanwhile on morgan side.. osten is such a pussy.. if he chopped that pelicans neck off i would have been super pissed. man..
that bastard john.. i dont know. everyone knows rupert is the man. they are worried about him, and maybe because of this.. he does actually WIN survivor... i want him to win. he is the best ever.. i think everyone can agree...but.. some of the other competitors will be tough to beat.. i think cassandra is smart. watch out for savage.. but he will probably go soon after the merge.. if they dont go after rupert again...damn..
This year its in the Pearl Islands which are located in Panama. They are using a Pirate theme which is pretty cool cause Pirates are cool. Also, it does seem like the rewards for challenges are a lot more raw this time around. instead of a fridge full of cokes like last time a reward is like a shovel this time around. ¶ 10/24/2003 10:52:00 AM 0 comments

Blue Streaks
The Saratoga Blue Streaks (6-1) face off against Schenectady tonight at 8pm in Saratoga in the first round of sectionals. The Blue Streaks are ranked 12th in the state and 3rd in the Capital Region. They lost their only game of the season last weak against Shenendoah with key injuries at the quarterback and tailback positions. They should be able to handle tonight.
What exactly is a blue streak? ¶ 10/24/2003 09:19:00 AM 0 comments

Go Kobe!
I watched Kobe last night in his first game back from an offseason knee and shoulder surgery. He did look a little bit rusty but it was very good to see him back. He had some bad shots here and there but he also had a couple of sweet passes to his fellow teammates.
It was exciting to see the new look Lakers last night in their second to last preseason game. I am really glad to be rooting for Gary Payton and Karl Malone now that they are on our side of the benches and not the opposing. Derek Fisher who is still on the team is great, but Payton is an obvious upgrade at the point position. I see Fisher providing some much needed bench support when we get much deeper into the playoffs. Gary Payton is a future hall of famer who spent his entire career in Seattle before being traded midway through last season to Milwaukee. Malone who replaces the now departed Robert Horry is also another future hall of fame player who spent his entire career in Utah before decided to sign with the Lakers in the offseason. Both of these players took very significant paycuts to join the Lakers. Both players have never won a championship and that is the plan. Last year Payton and Malone made a combined 30 million and now this year they signed for about 6 million combined.
Shaq also looked very good last night. He is a little trimmer which is scarry if you are his opponents. Hopefully he doesn't have any injuries this year and can last the full 82 games. Devean George rolled his ankle in the third quarter which was the same injury he suffered in the playoffs last year. I thought he was more seriously hurt than he was, but he came back in the game.
In the end, the Lakers lost to the fellow home town Clippers but it was meaningless. The regular season starts Tuesday and they face off against the also upgraded Dallas Mavericks. ¶ 10/24/2003 09:05:00 AM 0 comments
I watched Kobe last night in his first game back from an offseason knee and shoulder surgery. He did look a little bit rusty but it was very good to see him back. He had some bad shots here and there but he also had a couple of sweet passes to his fellow teammates.
It was exciting to see the new look Lakers last night in their second to last preseason game. I am really glad to be rooting for Gary Payton and Karl Malone now that they are on our side of the benches and not the opposing.

Marlins.
Well Alex Gonzalez's home run in the bottom of the 12th reaffirmed how much I love watching the Yankees lose... but the scarry thing is that lately I have enjoyed watching them play.

How The Falcons Got Their Name
In August 1965, a contest was held which resulted in the nickname Falcons, a few of the avid fans even had come to blows in defense of what they believed their adopted team should be called. Several persons suggested the name "Falcons" in a contest, but a school teacher from nearby Griffin, Miss Julia Elliott, was selected as the winner because of her reasoning for the new name: "The falcon is proud and dignified, with great courage and fight. It never drops prey. It is deadly and has a great sporting tradition."

Blank's letter to the fans
Dear Falcons Fans:
A 1-6 record so far is not what any of us anticipated at the beginning of the season. We understand the frustration you feel. In fact, everyone at the Falcons organization shares it. We are disappointed – even angry. We know our team is capable of playing better.
Our coaches, our players, our staff, and I collectively share the responsibility for the outcome of this season. We're not giving up. Our goal is the same as yours: to win football games. We have nine more games in this season, and our commitment to you is to work as hard as we possibly can to win every one of them.
I want you to know that I am just as committed to taking this franchise to the heights of NFL success as I have been from the very start. Not just this season, but every season. If anything, I am more committed and determined than ever.
For the last year and a half, you have rallied around the New Atlanta Falcons in a way that exceeded our expectations. Our organization and team need your continued support, and we will do everything we can to maintain it. We need you, our 12th man.
Thank you for being a part of our team. Let's continue to rally together.
Arthur M. Blank
BS Comments - Ever since the day Mr Blank took over the job of owner there has been a huge buzz surrounding this team and its fans. Not that this is a desparate measue by any means, but I applaud how he is handling this year. He hasn't fired anyone yet and I don't believe he intends to. It's only 1-6. A little worse than we wanted to start the season, but its not impossible. I CANT wait to see how Vick steps in, but obviously he isn't the only piece to the puzzle. ¶ 10/21/2003 12:52:00 PM 0 comments

Twitchin..
My left eye has been doing this weird thing for the past week or so where it just randomly twitches and what not.. Its kinda freeky.. but whats even more freeky is that it didn't do it at all over the weekend so I have good reason to believe that it's work related.

Phish Run >>
I am pumped about this upcoming Phish run... I am hitting the last 3 out of 4 shows of the tour and it should be grand.
The Boston show comes twenty years to the day of Phish's first performance, at an ROTC dance on the campus of the University of Vermont. While the exact date has been the subject of some dispute over the years, carbon dating, diligent research and a little common sense confirmed that December 2, 1983 was indeed the date of the band's first show.

11.29.03 Wachovia Spectrum Philadelphia, PA
12.01.03 Pepsi Arena Albany, NY
12.02.03 Fleet Center Boston, MA
There will also be 4 shows in Miami for New Years but I will not be heading there for that. ¶ 10/20/2003 11:23:00 AM 0 comments

There he is. The Man. Mike Vick. I saw his little piece on the halftime show Monday night about him getting back into it and conditioning that ankle. He was bending and lifting and running and dropping back and passing and everything. The past few months have allowed him to learn even more about the game from film and watching the mistakes being made by current falcons quarterback Doug Johnson. Other than the fact that we have had a bad start to this season, I full believe that when Mike is ready to come back and is at 100% health wise, it's going to be scarry to even try and stop him. He will be on a mission. He is a fierce competitor. Watch out league, he will be back and ready November 2nd to face the Eagles. Get ready. ¶ 10/14/2003 12:55:00 PM 0 comments

Plate Replacement
So I decide that yesterday was a good a day as any to switch out my old plates with the new ones that I just received in the mail. I grab the flathead unscrew driver and grab the plates and go outside only to find that the damn screws on the back side of the car are like cemented in and not moving. I struggled with it for about five minutes to see if I could get it to budge. Nothing. Not only that but the damn things started to strip. I had talked to Sara and she was on her way home so I decided to wait til she got back before I would make any deciscion on going out and finding some assistance. She got back and I asked her to give it a try. Nothing. Not even the slightest movement. Well maybe some movement, but the damn things weren't going anywhere. I checked the front ones and saw that those would easily come off, but what good would I be and how big a target for pulling over would I become if I had two different license plate numbers from front to back. So I said fuck it. Where can I go to get some assistance on this. I decided to drive down to Saratoga Honda to see if someone would gladly assist me and not charge me for such bullshit work. I find a little embarrassed as I do anytime I go to a stupid car place and deal with these people who know way too much about cars compared to me, very similar to when I go to a bike shop. So anyway. I get there and ask the guy if he would mind helping me. He grabs a much wider and longer unscrew driver and gives it a go. I told him, "yeah I'm switching them with some plates I got from work".. he said, "do they say eden on them?" and I said yes. We bullshitted a second or two about what I did there, etc.. Well maybe I bullshitted to the guy trying to get the damn screws off and he didn't really bullshit back but whatever no matter. So they started to come off and the guy was like, "do you have new screws to put this back on with" and i was like, "nah, i'll probably just toss those back on there".. he was like, "you dont want to do that, i'll get you some".. i was thinking, great hope he doesn't charge me for them... so I walk back in the office with him and wait a few seconds. Some fat kid and his mom were playing eye-spy. I thought about helping him, but couldn't find the bat. The guy, Jeff comes back out with a handful of screws and says.. "tell clement next time he hands out plates, to hand out screws".. I said sure. So then I proceeded to go out and replace the plates. Moral of the story. What a pain in the ass for such a remidial task. And... if you replace your plates and need new screws come talk to me.

My personal dilema
My mind requires organization, but my body does not do anything to provide it..
I got papers all over the place, files all over the place, and at home the same plus laundry all over the place clean and dirty and cds all over the place...
I am almost to the brink where I can't stand it.
It is driving me crazy.
It's really a problem. ¶ 10/07/2003 09:44:00 AM 0 comments

Get Well Mike
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (Oct. 6, 2003) -- Injured Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick said he was in too much pain to jog on a treadmill, a goal he set for himself last week.
According to team trainer Ron Medlin, Vick walked quickly on a treadmill Oct. 4, but unable to jog. Vick has been out since fracturing his right leg in a preseason game Aug. 16.
Vick is no longer walking with a limp. He said he will try to work on the treadmill again Oct. 7. He has all but ruled out trying to play Oct. 13 when the Falcons (1-4) will visit St. Louis (2-2) on Monday Night Football. ¶ 10/06/2003 09:18:00 PM 0 comments

Dirty Bird Report Week 5
Man, what a very disappointing day. I've got to say yesterday ranked right up there in the top five as most misreable sporting event days for me ever. First the falcons lose. Then the Us Women get blanked in their quest to retain the world cup by Germany. Then my beloved Braves get smoked and knocked out of the postseason by Kerry Wood and the Cubs. It was a rough day. But lets stick to the where it started.
Okay at 1-3 this early in the season and facing an undefeated Vikings team, this was a must win to keep any hopes alive for the season and the fans of the 2003 version of the birds. Other than that there was really nothing to lose. What I mean by that is, look the season appears screwed from the get-go, and the vikings and everyone else expects the vikings to come in and beat a lackluster falcons group. So with everyone in the Vikings corner, this has to be the week to turn it around, suprise a few folks and get some cylinders chugging before the Vickster comes back.
Well, we got a few cylinders chugging. The Falcons jumped out to an impressive first quarter that witnessed several good drives into Viking territory, although we only got a few field goals, and also good stops by a potentially great defensive unit. They were even getting the ball to Price. Amazing. Price got his first regular season touchdown as a bird in the second half and we headed into halftime up 20-12 with everything looking good. (Including some nervousness on the Minnesota fans I was watching the game with at the local sports bar). Don't ya know.
Then in true 2003 falcon fashion the team must have gotten on the bus and left town immediately at halftime cause the looked freaking pathetic in the second half. With 4 key defensive secondary players not playing because of injuries or suspension, I actually thought they did a good job at containing Randy Moss. Ferotte mis fired on about 3 long plays to Moss during the game which Moss barely missed, and Moss also dropped around 3 catches during the game, so had those plays been good I would have not said what I just said, but in the end he was only held to 2 touchdowns and about 80+ yards. The balls he did catch for touchdowns were amazing and he truly is one of those type of players in the league.
BUT! It wasn't enough. Doug Johnson threw a couple of silly - key interceptions and the Vikings took advantage of them. We had a great chance to comeback in the game but Dunn fumbed much like Curtis Martin did last week... POP! and into the endzone. The game was not close in the second half as the Vikings scored 27 unanswered points (except for a late Farris touchdown much like the Redskin game). And I haven't even talked about the two safties.. What?
Big mistakes have killed the falcons this year and hopefully it doesn't get any worse. At this point, many fans are already looking forward to the incoming draft class and potential free agents. Next week they'll face a struggling Ram team on Monday night and hopefully come out with a salvaged victory. I guess this is all to be expected. The falcons have never had two winning seasons in a row ever. Last year we were winners so its only inevitable that we come out as losers this year. Look for Vick to rest another week and continue to work on his running and getting ready to come back but I honestly think there is no hurry now. Doug played okay yesterday and like every other quarterback who makes mistakes, made a few big ones. The season isn't over yet, but it's rapidly been going down hill since August 11.
In Fantasy news.
I knew it. List Price as Doubtful, then Questionable. I knew he would play and I figured this was just a way to give him some space to tear things up. But. It figures, the first time I bench him on several of my teams and he lights it up.. Damn it... I also found I benched Portis on several of my teams that have him and that didn't pan out to be such a good deciscion either. Maddox sucks.
In Madden news
I started a new Franchise as the Falcons and made some big trades. I got rid of Dunn, Duckett, some other lesser known players and several draft picks and brought in Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Dante Hall, Jeremiah Trotter and a few lower round draft picks. I think I'll fare quite well. Im up to week 3 and Dante hasnt broke one for a score yet but he will. Portis is near the top of the rushing leaders. McGahee is used as a third down back and suprisingly enough has great hands and quick acceleration. He's going to be great once he gets back. The real life falcons need to make these moves.
In other news around the league.
Dante Hall is truly amazing. The Chiefs are a force to be reckon with. Although I'm still pulling for the Broncos, if either or these two teams makes it to the Super Bowl (and the falcons aren't in it) I'll be rooting heavily for them to win. Go AFC! Even though the Vikings are 5-0, I still don't think they have what it takes to go deep in the playoffs. Washington almost pulled it out late against the eagles. Tough break on that 2-point conversion. Buffalo got lucky against the Bengals. Miami barely escaped New York. The Patriots won a wild one. And how about those Browns last night.. Reunion weekend didn't fare too well for the folks who went back home.. Emmitt Smith got hurt against Dallas and Mike Holmgrem lost at Green Bay.....
Tonight.
Tonights game against the Colts and Bucs is a true test to see how good these colts really are. I see them struggling early but potentially making a late run near the end of the game and possibly pulling it out. I see the Bucs stopping the Colts defense and either Peyton lighting up the secondary or getting completely shut down. I'm not too sure how good the colt defense is so I guess that will be the decided factor. I'm definately going to be rooting for the Colts and my main man Marvin Harrison. Go Colts!
Indy 24 Tampa Bay 13
Hopefully soon I'll cure my Brave Postseason loser depression, seeing how I've got the remedy down pretty good by now... Next year, next year, next year... It's always next year. As much as I thought they wouldn't have a chance this year, I see them improving even more next year. They'll need another Ace in their staff. Hopefully Johnny is okay after the game he pitched Saturday... MANG ¶ 10/06/2003 01:42:00 PM 0 comments

It Figures
As soon as I bench Peerless Price on all but 1 fantasy team he has a huge day with 12 catches for 168 yards including a touchdown. Finally, the Price we had been hoping to see since the beginning. Doug Johnson didn't have a shabby day either with 350+ yards. But a couple costly turnovers costed the Falcons the game... The season is looking grimm.

Vick still not ready
www.NFL.com - Atlanta Falcons Team News
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (Oct. 2, 2003) -- Michael Vick threw the football lightly for the second straight day, but the Atlanta Falcons' star quarterback says his injured right shin is still too tender for him to practice.
Vick, who hasn't played since breaking his fibula Aug. 16, will try to do some light jogging for the first time on the morning of Oct. 5.
'The thing I'm trying to do now is put some pressure on my toes,' Vick said. 'If I can get some push, I'll be all right. Right now, I'm so weak. That just comes from not doing anything on it for five weeks.'
Though the Falcons (1-3) have lost three straight entering a home game against Minnesota (4-0), Vick isn't pressing to return too quickly. The 23-year-old began working lightly with weights last week. He has tried to maintain his conditioning by riding a stationary bicycle.
'Yesterday was my first day throwing,' Vick said. 'I really can't step and throw so I can't really throw the ball with a lot of velocity. It was more just tossing.'
Vick set four league records for rushing by a quarterback in 2002, his first full season as a starter. The first-team NFC Pro Bowl selection believes it's still too early to project when he can return to practice.
'I can't even say. Until I get some pressure on my toes, and I can get that push like I want, I won't be effective,' he said. 'And I'm not coming back and playing until I can be effective.' ¶ 10/03/2003 04:43:00 PM 0 comments

Oh gotta see gotta know right now.
What's that riding on your everything?
It isn't anything at all.
Oh gotta see gotta know right now.
What's that writing on your shelf in the bathrooms and
the bad motels
No one really cared for it at all
Not the gravity plan.
Early Early in the morning it pulls all on down my sore feet
I wanna go back to sleep.
In the motions and the things that you say.
It all will fall, fall right into place
As fruit drops, flesh it sags
Everything will fall/right into place
When we die some sink and some lay
But at least I don't see you float away
And all the spilt milk sex and weight
It all will fall, fall right into place. ¶ 10/03/2003 01:46:00 PM 0 comments

US Women's Soccer Team
i watched a lot of the game during the braves game actually... i saw that goal.... i saw the girl from norway with the almost dreads,.. yeah wambach is good... that was her 18th (or 17th) cap and she already has 12 goals.. thats unheard of. now if only the men's team could be as good..
just a little background.. Usa women are ranked #1 in the world, while Norway is ranked #2.. (by FIFA).. the only teams that have ever won the world cup (or olympic gold) have been United States and Norway... and also the US has played Norway more than any other team.. So it's like the Lakers vs Kings, Yankees vs Red Sox, Packers vs Bears of Women's international soccer...
So basically we beat them 1-0 and now have to go through 2 more teams to win the 3rd world cup championship...
they are good. ¶ 10/02/2003 02:06:00 AM 0 comments

It must have gotten beat down recently. WOW.. Anyway. I don't really care. They can clean it out all they want. The web based program for the email stinks, theres no way to delete everything, you have to go through page after page after page to highlight every single message and delete them. There are also no filters to try and define "junk" mail... So whatever, maybe they will work on that. ¶ 10/01/2003 04:39:00 PM 0 comments

Get this song OUT of my head!!!
I don't know why but this fucking song is stuck in my head right now... Please help me
More Than Words by Extreme
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you
More than words
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
