Time For A Haircut…

rmiles7721August 3, 2008Site News

This was my weekend off and it was a pretty restful one as well. I didn’t get out of bed until after nine yesterday morning and after working in the yard for a while I ended up taking a pretty long nap as well. Very nice. I haven’t had two days off in the same week since out barbecue back in the middle of July. I only have to work three days this week and then will end up being off on Thursday as well. Normally I would be off next Sunday but since the boss is going on his ten day vacation I have to work. The good thing is that I will have a manager trainee with me most of the week and all of my managers are working Sunday so I will shoot out of there pretty early.

I posted a while back that I had sent in my application for advancement last month. My area vice president finally received the stuff from corporate and he is supposed to be coming out to interview me later this week. I’m crossing my fingers. If I can get on the promotable list it might only mean a four or five month wait as long as I am willing to commute. I had the wife trim my hair a little while ago in preparation for the interview. The last couple of years I have kept it shaved but for some reason I have let it grow out a bit lately. It was getting a bit shaggy around the ears and back so she fixed me right up.

Say What?

rmiles7721July 6, 20081Site News

I am in a terrible mood this afternoon. Not just a bad mood, but an extremely ugly mood. Pissed off at the world. The kind of mood that makes you want to snatch someone’s scrotum out and shove it down their throat. Or just write about it.

That kind of ugly mood.

There doesn’t seem to be any particular reason for it, although there were a couple of minor things that set me off. Nothing I am going to go into though.

No, I prefer to sit here and revel in my pissed off at the world mood and imagine beating someone’s head in with a bat. Preferably someone that’s not much use to society. Like politicians or the IRS. Speaking of the IRS, they can just suck my left nut. Just the left one though. I wouldn’t want them to get too much enjoyment out of it and they’ve already sucked the blood of the rest of everything anyway.

So what do you do to get out of your bad mood?

…

So I’m not in quite such a foul mood anymore. Not overtly angry anyway. I made myself a pot of coffee and stepped outside for a smoke. I am still not my overly chipper (yeah right!) self at the moment but I don’t feel like strangling puppies anymore.

While I was outside my neighbor across the street was also outside. He’s not allowed to smoke inside either I guess. They are pretty cool. They also happen to be the only one’s right around here that I know. We aren’t getting together on the weekends and barbecuing but we speak when we are outside. It’s more a matter of timing than anything as far as doing anything. They came over for one of our parties last year and this last one I think I just didn’t run into them to invite them. Nobody has lived in the house next to us for over nine months now and the one on the other side that our friends moved out of, the Addams Family just moved in yesterday. We are friends with a few families in the subdivision and our kids play together, but I really don’t know my neighbors well.

That’s not a good thing and I think it’s indicative of our society as a whole. We don’t have neighbors anymore, just people we wave too. People are so transient, not working in their communities, moving constantly. I don’t feel like that’s a good thing. Something’s missing.

Crap, now I’m getting all taciturn. Fuck this, I’ve got other stuff to do.

Hollywood Studios Part Deux

rmiles7721July 1, 20081Photography, Travel

So after breakfast we caught the bus to Hollywood Studios. The last time we went I don’t think we enjoyed it quite as much as we did this time. The split up more this time. It was almost like two vacations. That way we could do things that each of the girls enjoyed without cramping the other’s style.

Most of the design in Hollywood Studios is modeled after the ’40s and ’50s. The heyday of Hollywood. This old truck sits just inside the gate.

Disney World - Richie's Pictures 226

Sometimes they just have to put up with me wanting to take pictures. Considering how shitty my memory is, photos ARE my memories.

The obligatory Mickey hat photo…

Disney World - Richie's Pictures 230

One thing that was really funny was that when we got to the area where the kids get to meet Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable Pete had no interest whatsoever but RePete wanted her picture taken. What happens when they get there? Just the opposite. Repete wouldn’t go near them. I think she was expecting cartoon people to come out because when she saw them she hid behind me 🙂

I’m pretty beat, so I will be sure to post more photos tomorrow…

Watch deleted YouTube Videos

Update – August 9th 2008
I posted this link way back in March of 2007 and since then it’s had over 8,000 hits so I figured it was time to get rid of the crappy ads in the middle of the page and update this place!
The original link I posted to delutube has been removed. So I have done a bit of searching to see if there was something else useful around.
Supposedly FTVTeen works. Let me know how your results are with this one.
Undele Tube was pretty useful at it but when you visit the site it just says “under maintenance right now. Keep checking back.
WikiHow also has some information on how to access recently deleted YouTube videos as well. The Wikihow article is below:

I came across a site here that will let you watch videos that have been removed from Youtube, because apparently they are still there, just not listed. Sneaky but cool. Thanks to Vincent Chow.
