August 8th, 2005...I'm Going to Be the Next American Idol

Well, if geeks had an idol, I'm going to be it, or at least make an attempt.  My favorite show (yes, it's on G4TV) is Attack of the Show.  It's my personal daily retreat into geekdom.  I'm going to be the new host!

August 7th, 2005... I just thought this sounded cool.

Smile, You're on Liquid Camera... How do you make a better cell phone lens? Just add water.

August 6th, 2005, Is There Playoff Hope for the New York Mets?

And why I'm not paying attention...

The New York Mets beat the Cubs tonight, 2-0.  They are 56-54, two games over .500 and only 7½ games behind the Braves.  Normally, if this was the case, I'd start paying attention to the sports pages daily, and catching as many games as possible on the telly.

August 5th, 2005, Friday Funnies Is Back

Friday Funnies is finally back.  I've been really lazy.  Actually, I've been incredibly busy and SunFyre has taken a back seat.  I'm going to do my best to at least get the Friday Funnies out on time.  If you didn't receive it in your email, here it is.

MurderballAugust 4th, 2005, Murderball - Rugby for Quadriplegics

I heard about this sport a couple years ago.  It sounds very similar to Wheelchair Football, which I played in college.  Like rugby, murderball is a little more violent than we played.

Anyhow, they made a documentary about the U.S. para Olympic team and it's in theaters now.

Murderball is currently playing in only a few cities, so I'm almost certain we won't get it around here.  I've never traveled to another city for a movie, but I might make an exception.

July 21st, 2005... The Million Dollar Idea

It has been a little over a month since my 35th birthday.  I've been spending this month working on my newest goal, among other things.

I started realizing that I feel like crap more often than I feel great.  That isn't unusual for men my age, but it's amplified by my disability.  So that led me to a major life decision. 

I've decided I'm going to retire at age 40 and spend the remainder of my life enjoying my children and focusing on the most enjoyable parts of my life.

June 7th, 2005... Happy Birthday to Me!

My birthday cake only had nine candles this year.  I think the only reason I got candles at all was because Ainsley wanted to help me blow them out.  Kristen found a lightly use box left over from the twins' birthday party last month.

I'm 35 today.

It was a quiet birthday.  I slept a little later than normal this morning.  The kids had been up for an hour making cards out of construction paper and stickers.  They sang "Happy Birthday" and we had chocolate cake for breakfast together.  I normally don't eat breakfast, but I make exception when there is chocolate cake.

I worked until lunchtime, then ate lunch while watching Attack of the Show, which has become my daily retreat into geekdom.  I wasn't feeling well, so I took a nap and a rather large poop, both of which helped.

This evening Kristen took me to the Terrapin Cantina, a Mexican Restaurant about 30 minutes up the road.

It was quiet, but important.  Today was day one of the next 17 years.  I measure my life in blocks of 17 years.  The first 17 were lived for my parents.  The second 17 were lived for myself.  The current 17 will be dedicated to my children.

It isn't arbitrary.  Perhaps tomorrow night I'll explain.  It's getting late, and I'm trying to digest my Mexican food.

Goodnight,

SunFyre
