As soon as I found out about Assault on Precinct 13, I grew curious. Lawrence Fishburne is in it, so I figured it would probably be pretty damned good. The fact that it's set in Detroit, my home town, both excited and annoyed me. But hey, shit happens. After all, Robocop was supposed to be set in Detroit, though it was filmed entirely in Houston. True Romance supposedly started off in the Motor City as well, though Detroiters will note that there is no 223rd street as mentioned in that movie....

Umm... ok, maybe not what you're thinking. I was saying it feels so good to be working again! It feels even better to be doing something that I've been training myself to do for a few years! At the moment, my job @ TWAcomm consists of porting ASP code to PHP, and writing new code as necessary. Why couldn't I have gotten a job like this earlier? Why did I have to go through the aches and pains of End70/ITC? Why?


Any ways, nothing much is really going on... Lori just got her belly button...

I'm employed again! It's about fucking time! (Just kidding. ;-) ) Courtesy of my friend Sean Bermudez, I became aware of the existance of my new employer TWAcomm.com several weeks ago, and put in my resume as soon as I could. It took a few weeks for them to call me in for an interview, but it happened, and then I got a call the next day saying I got the job! I start on Monday, January 3, 2005, which strangely enough, is almost exactly 5 years after I started work at Be Incorporated. Hopefully...

The title says it all, really. I would go into a lot more of a rant than just now, but I'm feeling a bit strange at the moment. After all the pressures being exerted on me over the last few months financially due to being unemployed again, emotionally due to the anniversary of my father's passing and other issues, I seem to be finally heading in a good direction again. I just upgraded this machine (my web server, mail server, local firewall) for the first time, and I was contacted regarding a...

Well, it's been out for a few days, and I've owned a copy of Eminem's latest album Encore since the date of its release. All I can really say is that the man has far too much talent! Besides "Mosh" and "Just Lose It", my favorite songs include "Rain Man", "Big Weenie", "Ass Like That", "One Shot 2 Shot", and "My 1st Single." Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of other good songs on this albumn, and I've liked more right from the beginning than I did from "The Eminem Show" (which I've listened...

Hey folks, as usual, here's my plea for a job! I need one badly!!! Very badly!! See my resume for my details!


Also, I'm hoping that there is a kind soul out there looking to get rid of a dual Pentium III "slot 1" motherboard such as Tyan's Tiger 100 or 133, or a motherboard that's compatible with an Athlon 1400XP. I'm really aching to upgrade my firewall/web server, and have processors but no motherboards. If you have such a motherboard, and are willing to send it to someone free...

Please purchase item #1 on my Amazon.com wish list for me. Please! Before 11/23/2004!

Well, I guess the fact that I just created an RSS generating PHP script for my journal makes me an official Blogger now. Those of you using Firefox 1.0 (Preview Release or later) should now see that you can subscribe to my journal.

As always, let me know what's going on in the world by dropping me a line at [email protected].

No, it's not Christmas time [yet]! Nor is it time to get out there and vote against Bush. Alot of pinheads out there missed that opportunity last week. No, it's my time to once again drop a little praise at the feet of Eminem, for the two kick ass songs on his new album hitting stores this Friday called Encore. Once again with "Just Lose It" he manages to be highly entertaining, creative, and humorous while "Mosh" was pointedly aimed at being released prior to the November 2nd election, but apparently...

Sign this now unless you want 4 more years of lies, war, tax increases, and artificial price hikes in energy resources such as gasoline.
