finally, an update

current song: The Killers - Smile Like You Mean It

Over 10000 hits, and I didn't even know it...

I think Daddy got hit number 10000.

... That's a big number. I know it's been a while since I reset my counter (like, August of 2003ish). But it's still pretty amazing to me.

daniel: ...So, after working at the front lanes one time when they needed backup (you know me, I always respond to that sortof thing), I dropped by the jewlry boat and asked the girl there for a screw...
daniel: <thinks> I mean...

Eric: "You didn't take your pill today, did you."

I don't update much anymore... It feels like there are so many other things to do or think about. Of course, I'm still spending a lot of time net surfing and such. Useless...

Do you ever chew gum too long?

I'm not talking about chewing till all the flavor's gone and it's just that weird non-taste taste in your mouth. I'm talking about... chewing till it dissolves.

It only happened once before that my gum completely dissolved. I was chewing in the car with my dad and ... all of a sudden, I bit down and my gum turned to liquid. I wanted to spit it out so badly. It kind of killed the conversation. Which, as it turned out, was currently about how my dad didn't like it when I chewed gum.

But before it gets to the point of complete dissolution, it has this really weird texture. That's how my gum is right now. I think I'm going to spit it out.

I gotta figure out how to enter that engineer poetry contest. I might actually win something. Then again, engineers are crazy. There might be a bunch who write better poetry than I do.
