A senate committee here in Louisiana approved today a bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos. Currently, it is illegal to smoke in any buildings that serve the general public, excepting bars and casinos. This is obviously a controversial issue. On one hand you have non-smokers (and some smoker...

I'll cut to the chase: I love New Orleans. It's a beautiful city, rich in culture that no other American city can dare replicate. Nothing beats a NOLA spring day at about 74 degrees with a slight breeze. Maybe grab a snoball from Plum St. Take a ride on the streetcar and people-watch from the neutr...

2008 has been a pretty decent year. Nothing super horrific happened. No massive hurricanes made landfall, the economy's booming, we're no longer at war, and Richard Gere stopped making movies. Hey, good morning everyone! I slept pretty well, but I had the weirdest dream! It was so delightful! ...
Monday, October 20, 2008 2:47pm
A lot of talk is flying around the country right now about Socialism and about Communism, particularly in terms of Obama's platform. First, I want to make a disclaimer that I support neither Barack Obama nor John McCain. I'm a registered voter with no party affiliation, though I have contributed to...
Friday, September 12, 2008 12:28pm
Here's the deal: as far as the mass media and the majority of Americans are concerned, there are only two political parties: Republican and Democrat. Left or right. Red or blue. Mac or PC. Boxers or briefs. Chocolate or vanilla. Why must we have only two choices? Let's face it: times were simple...
Monday, June 23, 2008 11:19am
We've lost one of the greats today. The one guy who blended jokes about pulling scabs off your head and putting them on contrasting surfaces and jokes about how our country is blindly run. The one guy who dared say the seven words you can't say on TV. We've lost, after 71 years on this pla...

Why is it that it took 2 days for MSNBC and CNN to even mention that Dennis Kucinich (my former vote for the Presidency) submitted 35 Articles of Impeachment for FOUR HOURS on CSPAN Monday? Why are the antics of Britney Spears or "Crew Misspells 'Stop' on Roadway" considered "Breaking News" when t...

Wired has a story about Jack Thompson . Jack wrote a letter to Strauss Zelnick's, Chairman of Take-Two Interactive, mother. Take-Two produces the Grand Theft Auto series of video games. A brief history about John "Jack" Thompson. He's done everything he can to try and rid America of obscene an...

I received this e-mail today. Sounds really good. If you give half a damn about New Orleans, please read it and follow the links. Greetings! I work with a DC-based human rights group, RFK Center for Human Rights that has been partnering with ACORN Louisiana, one of the largest orgs. o...
Wednesday, January 02, 2008 4:46pm
So 2008 is here. I've been back to work for almost 9 hours now and I've yet to put "2007" on anything, so things are rolling pretty good. New Year's Eve was a success. Average turn out, quantity-wise. Roughly 40 or so people. Everybody was cool and the best of the best were there. The beer was d...
Monday, December 17, 2007 11:05am
I like to think I respect everyone. I might not like everyone, but I respect everyone. But you know, there comes a point where everyone just needs to relax and laugh. I'm a firm believer that anything is joke fodder, if done correctly. I'm extremely socially left of the spectrum and I've been calle...

What could I possibly say that hasn't already been said. Jon Stewart gave the most heartfelt statement post-9/11. ...
Wednesday, August 29, 2007 1:34pm
Seven hundred and thirty days ago, my city was under water. My home was surrounded by water. So many of my fellow New Orleanians died; many more of us had a part of us die. Every single person in the metro area has a story to tell, be it about themselves or a coworker or a friend of a friend. This ...
Thursday, July 19, 2007 1:52pm
The last vacation I took was roughly 3 years ago. I went with Calie and her family to Navarre Beach. It was a blast. I've not taken a vacation since then. Partly because of Katrina, partly because of cash flow, and partly because my old boss, Adolf Stalin, didn't give me paid vacation time until ri...
Tuesday, June 05, 2007 9:29am
I know I discuss this topic a lot, but it's important to me that everyone have all the facts on gasoline prices, mostly because of the large amounts of internet hype via MySpace, Facebook, and e-mails about ways you can lower gas prices. As I mentioned in a previous post there's really no way t...
Friday, May 25, 2007 10:31am
So my last project I did on Frobba was the online dating project where I signed up for some online dating sites and judged the accuracy of their matches. The findings? The sites are worthless, or, I'm too picky. I have a new project and this one is going to kick ass. As I was drinking my Kill...
Sunday, April 22, 2007 9:35pm
It's been some time, and I need to update. So, Alex moved out of the Cabin. He's living with his dad now. He still has a key and drops by, so we haven't lost him. Just sucks we don't have the four of us dudes here all the time. On the plus side of that, I moved down the hall into Alex's room,...
Thursday, April 05, 2007 1:34am
I've returned, once again. I've been happy lately. Not so much confused as I had been in the recent past. I finally began embracing life for all it can give, which, sadly, is sometimes shitty things, but often times great things. Every once in a while, a person embodies some of those great mo...
Sunday, March 04, 2007 10:03pm
Ladies and gentlemen, grab yourselves a beer and put some popcorn in the microwave. I had an epiphany tonight and it's changed my life. I've been watching How I Met Your Mother on DVD with Aimée and Mark. It's an amazing show and Neil Patrick Harris is phenom in it. But I digress. Anyhow, ...
Monday, February 19, 2007 11:26pm
So, one day, I woke up. I woke up and it came to me as if it was some sort of instinctual trait that's been lying dormant for the past 23 years. I'm confident. Re-read that before you continue. Done? Okay, pressing on. Here's how it all happened. As anyone who knows me or reads my blog kno...
Thursday, February 15, 2007 10:52pm
So, this weekend I caught "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" on TV. I've seen the film before, and, as a male secure with his masculinity, I can say I always enjoy it. Watching this time though, I got thinking about the whole "it's what's on the inside" and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing...
Saturday, February 10, 2007 1:28pm
Welcome back, Me. I discovered Barack Obama's announcement of running for Presidency. His speech is really good. Here are some key points: Acknowledges that his announcement is somewhat audacious because he hasn't been in Washington very long, but as he says, he's been there "long enough t...

So, I finally have some plans for 2007. I half assed them in the last post, but here's something concrete. Eat Better Lord knows I won't cut out fast food altogether, but I seriously want to eat a little better. All I eat is shit. Go to New York This is all contingent on my raise/vacation k...
Monday, January 01, 2007 11:13pm
So here it is: a brand new year. 2007. So what did 2006 bring me? A new job A new girlfriend A new ex-girlfriend One less grandparent That's about it. So, based on that, 2006 was a 50/50 year. Here's my predictions for 2007: I'll go to my 5-year high school reunion I'll get promote...

Wednesday, November 08, 2006 12:02am
I'm going to do a run down on the past couple of weeks. I'll get a solid post up sometime soon. As I mentioned earlier, I've met a girl. Her name's Brandi. I guess I should say she met me because she was the one with the guts to say anything. Anyway, after a few weeks of me halfway talking to h...
Sunday, October 22, 2006 11:53pm
So, I've officially ended my online dating experiment. I've closed all my accounts. As Mike suggested, maybe shelling out the cash for all of them would've yielded better results, so I'm going to have to say my findings are inconclusive. I do have to say this though: real life works far better. ...
Sunday, October 15, 2006 2:09pm
Work: Awesome. Couldn't love it more. Weekend: Freaking great. Started on Thursday with 80s night, rocked high for Lance and Mimi's party, and topped off with a fun Saturday at the Cabin with some new guests. Website: Working on a new social networking website that is combinging the best idea...
Sunday, September 24, 2006 11:19pm
So, I've been doing some more thinking about life and its many instances of crap. Thursday night I went out with some guys from work and Chris to 80s night at One Eyed Jack's. Had a good time, cool hanging out with guys from the new job. Anyhow, one of my coworkers, Kurt (Not my cousin's husband...
Monday, September 18, 2006 1:00am
Amazing Saturday night. Lots of people, lots of drinks, and lots more fun. Seriously, if you want in, drop me a line. So here's an update on my online dating experiment. It's been less than a month since I started — three weeks to the day, actually. I've been matched with I believe 5 women...
Wednesday, September 06, 2006 10:31pm
On a more serious note, I've made a documentary about how far along (or how little far along) New Orleans has gotten in the last year. I filmed it over Labor Day weekend with the help of my cousin and her husband driving and navigating me through the city. The camera's a bit shakey, but I was in...
Saturday, August 26, 2006 4:28pm
So, one of three things is happening: these online services are terrible at finding matches, there are no women in the world who have the qualities I'm looking for, or I'm extremly impatient. eHarmony has no matches for me today. Neither does Chemistry. Match isn't automatic, so I run periodic s...
Friday, August 25, 2006 4:21pm
So, in continuing with my project, I joined Match.com. I feel less confident with Match. Match's survey was more those typical survey's you get passed around the internet. It took less than 20 minutes, as opposed to eHarmony's 40 minutes. Most of the questions were short answer. Not too many multip...
Friday, August 25, 2006 1:26am
Quick note: I started school again. Taking two classes, but the important hing is, I'm back at college. Hooray Geoff! Chris and I have discussed on many occassions how similar we are to each other. We also laugh at the Match.com and eHarmony.com commercials. Well, tonight, I've decided to put th...
Monday, August 21, 2006 1:09am
I know, I've neglected the blog for a little while. I've had a lot going on. I re-applied to UNO. I wanan go back, even if just for like 2 classes a week. I want to get my CS degree and I want to be a teacher. I want to do high school. I figure, high school kids hate school and think it's all bu...
Sunday, July 23, 2006 12:22pm
I stumbled upon this article via Fark today. It's a list of the best cities in America to find a job. New Orleans and Denver are the two worst cities. Which is quite interesting. There's literally thousands of jobs available, and nearly all are paying much more than they were pre-Katrina. On...
Tuesday, July 18, 2006 9:11pm
Disclaimer: Because of personal ties with one of the "suspects" this post may contain some bias. Also, due to my rage that incident is being handled how it is, I'll refrain from a Podcast because I think the many expletives you'll read will more than cover your daily allotted dosage of "fuck....
Monday, July 17, 2006 1:08am
I don't have much to say other than the fact that I want to be this guy. Old, happy, eating wings at Hooters, drinking beer, and staring at big ol' boobies. Not a care in the world. I hope I'm half as awesome as this guy one day. ...
Monday, July 10, 2006 11:07pm
Today's Monday. That means I wish it were Friday. I've realized tonight that I'm bored. And not like, just right now I'm bored. I'm bored with everything. Here's a short list of aspects in my life that don't bore me: Killian's Friends Family Camels I'm bored with work. I love this n...
Saturday, July 08, 2006 1:28am
I was thinking about next month being August already. 2006 is kinda zooming by. August brings with it an interesting date. August 29th. That'll be one year since Hurricane Katrina made landfall over New Orleans. I'm going to reflect more on the anniversary as it looms closer, but I was just looking...
Thursday, June 29, 2006 11:07pm
So, this morning I had my first visit ever to the eye doctor. Yeah, I know. In 22 years you would've thought I would've gone. Especially since everyone in my immediate family wears glasses. Eye tests are pretty benign compared to going to a physician or the dentist. First test: cover your...
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 10:58pm
So, the US House of Representatives voted once again to keep the national minimum wage at $5.15 an hour. No reasons given — just, they didn't want to. Maybe they feel a family could survive on $5.15/hour, or that the economy is so hurt that no one could afford to pay salaries higher than t...
Thursday, June 15, 2006 9:13pm
June 1st marked the start of the 2006 hurricane season, and we've already had one named storm. I'm willing to bet this year won't be unlike 2005. So, I'm going to start making plans. First, I'm going to decide when I'm going to leave. I'm staying for tropical storms and Category 1 storms. I h...
Monday, June 12, 2006 1:30am
I've been following this guy, Adam Scott who decided he wanted to see what would happen if he only ate monkey food for a week. He has a video journal of each day. It's pretty interesting. But a lot of people were leaving comments like "Why are you doing this? You're so stupid. Get a life." Toda...
Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:40pm
Well, I got it. Go take a look at my Flickr account and you'll get to witness it in all it's bad ass glory. Questions I got tonight: Why so big? This was my first one. I figured, if I'm gonna do it, may as well go all out. Did it hurt? It's 7 needles moving thousands of times a second. Y...
Wednesday, June 07, 2006 6:45pm
I'll go ahead and get this out of the way: I did a new layout. I've been working with this for a while and I finally made it happen. I'm pretty satisfied with it, although there's a couple of issues with the bottom of the page, but I'm not overly concerned about that right now. I'm really very happ...
Monday, June 05, 2006 1:10am
So, what do you do when you put everything in your life back on track, put it on cruise control, and then have it hit a fucking tree? Do you sit and whine because you did exactly what you warned yourself not to do? Probably. How many more times are you going to follow this trend? After A come...
Saturday, June 03, 2006 2:39pm
So, in a little while, I'll be going to go see Walt Clark. For those of you not in the know, Walt is one of the best tattoo artists in the NOLA area. He actually lived with Chris from Miami Ink and was going to be on the show, but yeah. I'm going to have this plastered on my back for all of eternit...
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:58am
Geoff, self, as you check your site over the next few days because you're obsessed with checking for new comments, please read this each time: JUST RELAX. And everything will be cool. You've got this under control. You're making a non-issue an issue. Life is good and it's only going to get be...
Sunday, May 28, 2006 4:19pm
It's probably from all the non-stop rocking I did last night. Last night, went to go see In Flames at the House of Blues with Kurt, Kevin, Chris, and Alex. It was nothing short of awesome. It was probably one of, if not, the best shows I've ever been to where there were no special effects and the b...
Sunday, May 14, 2006 11:55pm
So, Calie and I aren't together anymore. We're still friends and talk and will hang out, but we're not doing the relationship thing anymore. It was a mutual decision and I think it'll work well. We get a long and hardly fight and we have stuff in common. Just, I guess the umph went away. ...
Monday, May 08, 2006 11:41pm
So, I quit GameTrader. I put in a good four years and made it from the bottom up to the top. Only problem was, the pay wasn't enough for me to fully make it on my own (just enough to pay the bills), and there was no room for advancement. So, I looked for a while and had no luck. Then one day,...
Tuesday, May 02, 2006 2:05am
Tonight, I made this: No, it's not a narcotic. It's a big bag of my hair from my face and my head. I decided to trim my beard since it was getting pretty long. Shaved it down and then I looked like Joe Dirt. As a result, I shaved the mustache off and cleaned up the edges. I st...
Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:24pm
So Neil Young has a new album coming out called Living with War and he pretty much spells out why America's fucking up. The song that has everyone (and by 'everyone' I mean the media is making it out to be worse than it is) talking is called "Let's Impeach the President." Fox News had the lyrics po...
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 1:14am
I kinda forgot… Anyhow, I've been trying this new sleeping habbit. Most people think "Early to bed, early to rise" is the best way to become an early riser. Some people think that the best way to sleep is to go to sleep when you're tired and wake up when your body tells you to. Both s...
Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:48am
don't forget to remind me to tell you guys about my new sleeping habits, my job, and life in general. too tired to type it all out right now. I did watch two movies I've been wanting to: clockwork orange and walk the line. more on that later. ...
Thursday, March 02, 2006 11:40pm
As the IT Director at my company, I work directly under the CEO. And since I work directly under the CEO, I get badgered via e-mail, AIM, and telephone about the status of whatever projects I'm currently working on. After four years, I've finally figured out the secret to making your boss think you...
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 12:48am
Welcome back, Sir. It certainly has been some time since you've come to visit me. Almost as if I've lost you. Apparently the name change and moving wasn't enough for you. You, sir, are far too intelligent to fall for that. I've told you tenfold that you're no longer welcome in my life. You br...
Friday, February 17, 2006 1:43am
Tonight was me and Calie's five year anniversary. Nevermind the break. We had a nice dinner at Sweet Fire & Ice. Good stuff. Last night, I started remembering the good ol' days when I wa sin the Fraggles. Watching Start Select pratice in my house makes me nostalgic. I miss those days of getting ...
Friday, February 10, 2006 1:48am
So, I'm driving down I-10 near LaPlace this afternoon on an errand for work. Traffic's all screwed up for one reason or another, so it's brake-gas-brake-gas for miles. Right past the Hwy 51 exit the guy in front of me makes a last minute decision to stop. As a result, I stop, probably 3 feet behind...

I think I'm going to start blogging writing on my blog website more. And not my usual whinings and crap. Not to say I'm stopping that. Ranting will be in full force. But so will anything else I find online that seems pretty cool. I'll start now. ------------------------------------- ...

Wednesday, January 04, 2006 1:55am
First, an update to my previous "hypothetical" post. I took everyone's advice and talked to my boss. Told him about 85% of everything I posted about and did my best not to hold back. Worked like a charm. I got a nice fat $1.50 raise putting me at a pay rate I feel to be appropriate. And it's mor...

I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi. I like properly typed things. I also like hearing things properly. I have three basic rules when it comes to internet grammar: 1. If you're typing in some sort of instant form of communication (chat room, IM), a few typos here and there are acceptable. 2. If you'...

I had a nice Christmas. Didn't feel much like Christmas, but hey, it was nice to have it in New Orleans. Now, to the topic at hand mobile! I want honest opinions from my handful of readers on this. Let's say, you were in high school and decided to get a job. You fill out an application at ...

For this ">O'Reillymas Season, here's some things I want, a mere 109 days after Katrina: I want Ray Nagin to not be the mayor of New Orleans but be the mayor for New Orleans. I want George Bush to come through with his "better levees" promise I want my Dad and Uncle's gas station to reop...
Wednesday, December 21, 2005 2:12am
There was a time when blogs existed for one to place their thoughts out in the open. A digital journal, if you will. That's why services like LiveJournal came into existance. Recently, "blogging" has become a term we use to describe any website that has periodic updates, or, "posts." Blogs, short f...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:23pm
So, Mayor Ray Nagin announced today that they would be launching free city-wide WiFi internet with download speeds of up to 512kb/s, pretty much awesome. I like this idea. Now, granted, that speed is illegal abse don state laws so it will probably drop to 128kb/s once the state of emergency is l...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 12:41am
So I cooked again tonight. I think I was a dragon for a short while due to the peppery content of my spaghetti sauce . The Tony's was fine. Calie informed be of the fact that ONE shake of the crushed red pepper would have sufficed. I mean, it tasted good, untill your mouth numbed up and you ...
Monday, November 28, 2005 12:30am
It's official: I've launched Rate-Everything.com . The site was all Alex and Kevin's ideas, then I jumped in and made the site. It uses the Frisbee software I wrote that powers Frobba. Rate Everything will attempt to rate, well, everything. While other sites only rate music, or movies, or games...

It's been a while since I last posted, probably close to six months by now. Sorry about the delay. Anyways, here's an update of what's happening. I moved to Chicago this past winter to pursue a career in the package delivery industry. I can't say the name of the company, but it's a service th...
Monday, November 07, 2005 6:08pm
I just got back from court for my speeding ticket I got back in May. Didn't take long. Calie's dad went with me and we got it taken care of. The Tropper didn't show either, which made things easier. So, for now, I'm a free man. That is, untill my evaluation at work tomorrow. Curious to see ...
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:05am
So, everything's starting to be normal again after this KatRita stuff. No, not really. Yeah, I'm back home. Yeah, I'm at work. It's still not normal. Won't be for a while. Guess I'll just whine about it on my blog like the majority of LiveJournal and MySpacers. Remember a few months ago wh...
Friday, September 30, 2005 3:57am
I created some digital art tonight. It's in the Gallery under the Super NOLA System section. It's an homage to my beloved city of New Orleans as well as an homage to some of the best video games in history of gaming. See if you can pick out all the locations in the images. ...

I want out. I want to go back home. I can't handle this anymore. I'm trapped. I have 6 cable channels, 3 of which air the same thing 75% of the time, all of which air news and Katrina updates, save for the Home Shopping Network. I have dial-up AOL internet. I'm not in my own bed. I'm not in m...
Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:53pm
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina we have many questions. One major question is simply “Why?” Why us? Why did this happen to the fine people of New Orleans, Louisiana? No one will ever know. That’s why it’s called a natural disaster. Sure, we could go into the science of hurricanes and how they redi...
Sunday, September 04, 2005 11:17pm
Here's my recent posts on MySpace, syndicated here: August 31 I'm on dial-up via a free AOL disc from Wal-Mart. We're in Auburn, probably till Friday when we'll trek to Morgan City to meet up with Mae and Mark. I don't know if I have a job anymore. The Edgwater Mall in Biloxi is nonexist...
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 1:43am
This is my city. The city I just recently fell in love with. It's now gone. Possibly 10 feet of water at my parents' house. Probably 5+ feet at my house. My sisters' house? Completely submerged. My fathers' business is probably gone as well. Everything my family has worked for is gone. ...
Saturday, August 27, 2005 1:00pm
So, this Katrina chick might be coming right to New Orleans. I may or may not remain in town. I'll probably stay, but either way, I know I'm losing power at my house as it goes out if we sneeze too hard, so I might be unavailable via the normal means (frobba.com, aim, warcraft) so as usual, tag my ...
Tuesday, August 23, 2005 11:43am
I haven't updated in a couple of weeks. Mostly because of World of Warcraft. Partly because of work. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but in case I haven't, I'm writing this new software for the company that will revolutionize the way we do business. I've already written a program that acts as...
Monday, August 08, 2005 1:28pm
So, I have a new phone through work. I've had it for like three months, but I've also had my old personal phone as well. I finally got around to cancelling my old phone, so my old 913 number won't work anymore after the 19th. I called everyone in my contacts to alert them, but I may not have gotten...
Saturday, July 23, 2005 2:22pm
New Orleans has a high crime rate. The public school system is a joke. The French Quarter reeks of urine and vomit — and garbage. No one fully understands the rules of the road. Customers are rude. It's humid and hot 10 months of the year. But I love this city with every ounce of my being....
Tuesday, July 05, 2005 5:37pm
Okay, allow me to dive into my personal life. Mind you, this is in no way a cry for help or sympathy. I just want to think outloud, via blogging. I'm in a financial bind. My first month of living on my own went very well. I had a nice lump of cash under my matress. Unfortunately, I was much unli...

It's been some time, I know. So, this weekend consisted of me working and watching some movies. Some Fourth, huh? Anyways, Thursday night, the whole gang went to go see Batman Begins. It was fantastic. Michael Kane was a great Alfred. The movie was a great beginning to the franchise. It, like...

So, last night, I worked the door at Nick's. It was awesome. I made some easy cash. I planned to use it to buy a new tire since I destroyed my other one on a curb Friday night. Everything was going great. No patrons patronized me. I did my job well. I was initiated into the Nick's family. We were h...
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 12:52am
So, Sunday night, I'm leaving Nick's. I'm on Airline. About 5 blocks from my house. I'm speeding. It's like 3am, so, there's no traffic. No traffic except for the State Trooper chilling in the neutral ground. I received my first (and hopefully last) speeding ticket. 55 in a 40. The suck. Hopefully ...

Every man has an event occur in his life that chanegs the events forthcoming. Every man has an incident that causes them to stop, and think. Every man has something happen that yells at them: "You, sir, need to change your ways.” Every man has an event occur in his life that changes his wa...

The thing that baffles me is that one can go from this extreme level of sadness, wake up one morning and change his life to the complete polar opposite, but quicker than a mouse losing his head in an effort to have a meal on a six-inch by 3-inch wooden rectangle of death, he can suddenly be back at...

First things first: Stan update. My mom called me this afternoon. My dad's doing a lot better. He's been on an IV and steroids and antibiotics and crap and he's looking better. He does have colitis, but it's only at the end of his colon, the top looks perfect healthy, they say. They've got him o...
Tuesday, May 10, 2005 8:04pm
So, my plan for today was this: Wake up early, go to work early, get off early. Instead, I get woken up extra early by Cox Cable mucking around with the incoming cable outside my window. I'm assuming they were fixing the shitty service of internet they've been giving us. So I get back to slee...
Tuesday, May 10, 2005 12:38am
I have a lot to do. A lot of it is stuff that I HAVE to do. A lot of it is stuff I need to do. I'll fling some examples in your direction: Stuff I HAVE to Do Buy shelf brackets to mount shelf above my desk Buy lock to put on bedroom door for those special moments Finish unpacking Hook up all...
Sunday, May 08, 2005 3:13am
Well, I'm all moved into the new house. I still have a couple of boxes to unpack, but it's all here. I'm definitely going to enjoy this. Caroline, Keith, Blake, Matt, Mark, and Aimée came by tonight to check out the place. A little while later, Calie and her aunt Carmel Ann came and gave m...
Friday, May 06, 2005 11:22pm
Well, It has begun… I've started packing up all of my belongings. This time tomorrow, I'll be in my new home. It's kind of sad. Tonight's my last night sleeping in my parents' house. Man, the things I did in this room. Most of which I would never post here. Jeez, I was a crazy kid in high...
Monday, May 02, 2005 4:44pm
Before I begin, I'd just like to point out that because of my Friday night post, I am now the number 1 result on MSN when you search for "gangsta ass niggas." That ranks before all the lyrics websites. Oh yeah, baby. Proof, bitches I had an awesome Sunday night. Went to go see Hitchhicker's Guid...

Before my weekend update, check this out: High-fives are Okay, Hugs Are Not. I'm all for promoting the high-five, but come on, banning hugs? Had a decent Saturday. I had planned to go to the apartment around noon with Gootee to go check and see what lightbulbs we need to replace since we have po...

My site was down yesterday. I was kinda pissed. I had a greta post to write and now I don't remember it because my server was down for like 8 hours yesterday and this morning. Anyways, I've noticed people have been giving me props on my posts. Awesome. I seriously appreciate that. I'd like to...
Sunday, April 10, 2005 1:30pm
Decent night last night. Hung out with Brad at Nick's. Stayed till the staff was locking the door and setting the alarm. Good people, those bartenders. Plans went mildly awry last night. Although, no solid plans exisited, so I can't 100% say that. But I had a good time nonetheless. Sometimes you...
Saturday, April 09, 2005 2:19am
I am so damned tired. Yet I slept till 11 today. Go figure. Anyways, I've been working like crazy. I'm taking next Friday and next Monday off of work. I need some time off. I go to work and stare at my computer for hours on end. I do about 3 hours of work in about eight hours. Which, when you're...
Wednesday, April 06, 2005 7:07pm
I'm posting for the sake of posting. Apparently, I'm addicted to blogging. Dane Cook is tomorrow night. Pretty God-damned excited about that. The whole crew should be there: Christina, Gootee, Mae, Mark, Brad, Meghan, Mike, and I think Caroline? Blake? Hm. Anyways. Should be a good show, what wi...
Monday, April 04, 2005 9:17pm
So, Gootee and I went to the apartment the other day to do some cleaning. We pressure washed the outside of the house a good bit and even cleaned out the shed in the back, which is on its way to becoming the Lounge/Saloon/Uncle Kenny's Cabin. I took some pictures. It'll be a virtual tour of sort...

I just got back from the Toyota dealership. SO, the plan was to buy that used 2004 Corolla. But today, my dad did some research and the brand new 2005 corolla's weren't much more than the sued 2004 we were looking at. So, after signing about 3000 papers and contracts and my dad haggling for a wh...
Sunday, March 06, 2005 5:57pm
So, I cleaned out Ted today. I took out my stereo and put the factory one back in and took out my aftermarket speakers and put the factory ones back in. I emptied out my glove box like I lost my job or something. I cleaned out so much crap. I found some really random things in my car. 3 hats ...
Saturday, March 05, 2005 10:46pm
So, I've been on MySpace for a while now. Mostly to link up with old friends, as well as current ones and maybe make some new ones. For the first few weeks, the only requests for friendship I had were people who know me in real life. I also only had like 62 profile views. The past 3 days I've...
Saturday, March 05, 2005 2:40am
I should be in bed. MS Walk starts in 5:15. Oh well.. four hours of sleep will do. So, I got my car back tonight. Excited about that. Oh, but guess what, on my way to Nick's tonight, check engine light came on. I said "fuck it" and drove there and back with the check engine light on. Like hell m...

I have a sad story and a funny story. Most people would tell the sad story first and tell the funny one so you elave happy. Funny story first: Robby and I were discussing our iPods, namely how pissed we are Apple released a 30GB iPod Photo for $50 more than we paid for our 15 and 20 gig iPods. ...
Sunday, January 16, 2005 2:51am
I've got a pretty interesting story. I want to share it here, but, because of the people involved and its content it wouldn't be in those people's best itnerest for me to post about it here. If you wanna know about my Friday night, drop me an e-mail. BTW… had a nice Saturday night as well....
Friday, January 14, 2005 7:19pm
So, I'm getting a new car soon. A NEW car…not used. I'm saving some money and according to my math, I can afford the note each month. I'm looking at the new Scion tC's… they're pretty cheap ($17k for the automatic) and they're really nice cars… I'm pretty excited about this. Plus,...

Well, here it is: 2005. 2004 was alright. Can't say I had a bad year. 2005 marks my 21st year alive, as well as the 20th anniversary of the NES in the US. But the year isn't starting off well for everyone. In case you've been under a rock the past few days, there was a huge earthquake (largest i...

While looking through my closet one day, I found my Christmas light pants from one of the Fraggles' shows. I got thinking: what about a reunion show? Just a one-time show, no practicing (or maybe just one day). I spoke to Jacob about it and he's down with it. I think Steven will be the hardest one ...
Tuesday, September 21, 2004 12:53am
So, I'm back at school and all as most of you know. I've switched to Fine Arts with a focus on Digital Media (web/graphic design). Sounds good, right? Right up my alley, I'd say. But, I've realized how much I fucking despise school. Each class, I sit there and think about how much I don't want t...
Thursday, September 09, 2004 9:08pm
So, my right front tire's tread was going bare. Yesterday evening, it went flat. Luckily, Calie was following me from UNO, so she was there with me. I pulled onto a side street and proceeded to jack up the car and remove the tire. Everything was going just fine. But the tire was rusted or corroded ...
Sunday, August 29, 2004 2:19am
Here's a new update… So I'm back at school. Changed my major to Digital Media, which is essentially graphic design with some web design as well. I think it'll be good for me. I'm only taking three classes: Major American Writers, Spanish 1002, and Intro to Drawing. I figured since I'm work...

I adopted a kitten Sunday. My sister's friends live in an apartment complex of St. Charles and some strays hung around there. The strays had a litter. Then that litter had a litter. So, there were a bunch of homeless cats there. As many of you know, my parents were way against having a second cat. ...

If you've ever listened to Tool, you'll know of a song called "Forty-six & Two." I knew that there had to be some significance to this name, so I researched it. It seams that 46 & 2 is something that comes from the teachings of Drunvalo Melchezadek. He's this guru-type guy who holds these "Flower o...

Well, here it is: 2004. 2003 went by pretty quickly. It wasn't a horrible year. I've definitely had worse. I did have an enjoyable NYE…shot some fireworks at Caroline's with Goottee… that was good fun. Blowing up stuff is so enjoyable to me. Guess it's the pyro in me. In addition to ...

I got tha new Godsmack CD yesterday. It's very bad-ass. Oh yeah, I'm starting to spell "the" "t-h-a"" in remembrance of Rage Against The Machine. Zack always spelled his "the's" with an "a." As soon as I think of some more things to put up on this here site, there'll be more. Probably some picture...
A senate committee here in Louisiana approved today a bill to ban smoking in bars and casinos. Currently, it is illegal to smoke in any buildings that serve the general public, excepting bars and casinos. This is obviously a controversial issue. On one hand you have non-smokers (and some smoker...

I'll cut to the chase: I love New Orleans. It's a beautiful city, rich in culture that no other American city can dare replicate. Nothing beats a NOLA spring day at about 74 degrees with a slight breeze. Maybe grab a snoball from Plum St. Take a ride on the streetcar and people-watch from the neutr...

2008 has been a pretty decent year. Nothing super horrific happened. No massive hurricanes made landfall, the economy's booming, we're no longer at war, and Richard Gere stopped making movies. Hey, good morning everyone! I slept pretty well, but I had the weirdest dream! It was so delightful! ...

Here's the deal: as far as the mass media and the majority of Americans are concerned, there are only two political parties: Republican and Democrat. Left or right. Red or blue. Mac or PC. Boxers or briefs. Chocolate or vanilla. Why must we have only two choices? Let's face it: times were simple...

We've lost one of the greats today. The one guy who blended jokes about pulling scabs off your head and putting them on contrasting surfaces and jokes about how our country is blindly run. The one guy who dared say the seven words you can't say on TV. We've lost, after 71 years on this pla...

Why is it that it took 2 days for MSNBC and CNN to even mention that Dennis Kucinich (my former vote for the Presidency) submitted 35 Articles of Impeachment for FOUR HOURS on CSPAN Monday? Why are the antics of Britney Spears or "Crew Misspells 'Stop' on Roadway" considered "Breaking News" when t...

So 2008 is here. I've been back to work for almost 9 hours now and I've yet to put "2007" on anything, so things are rolling pretty good. New Year's Eve was a success. Average turn out, quantity-wise. Roughly 40 or so people. Everybody was cool and the best of the best were there. The beer was d...

I like to think I respect everyone. I might not like everyone, but I respect everyone. But you know, there comes a point where everyone just needs to relax and laugh. I'm a firm believer that anything is joke fodder, if done correctly. I'm extremely socially left of the spectrum and I've been calle...

Seven hundred and thirty days ago, my city was under water. My home was surrounded by water. So many of my fellow New Orleanians died; many more of us had a part of us die.

The last vacation I took was roughly 3 years ago. I went with Calie and her family to Navarre Beach. It was a blast. I've not taken a vacation since then. Partly because of Katrina, partly because of cash flow, and partly because my old boss, Adolf Stalin, didn't give me paid vacation time until ri...

I know I discuss this topic a lot, but it's important to me that everyone have all the facts on gasoline prices, mostly because of the large amounts of internet hype via MySpace, Facebook, and e-mails about ways you can lower gas prices. As I mentioned in a previous post there's really no way t...

So my last project I did on Frobba was the online dating project where I signed up for some online dating sites and judged the accuracy of their matches. The findings? The sites are worthless, or, I'm too picky. I have a new project and this one is going to kick ass. As I was drinking my Kill...

I've returned, once again. I've been happy lately. Not so much confused as I had been in the recent past. I finally began embracing life for all it can give, which, sadly, is sometimes shitty things, but often times great things. Every once in a while, a person embodies some of those great mo...
Sunday, March 04, 2007 10:03pm
Ladies and gentlemen, grab yourselves a beer and put some popcorn in the microwave. I had an epiphany tonight and it's changed my life. I've been watching How I Met Your Mother on DVD with Aimée and Mark. It's an amazing show and Neil Patrick Harris is phenom in it. But I digress. Anyhow, ...
Monday, February 19, 2007 11:26pm
So, one day, I woke up. I woke up and it came to me as if it was some sort of instinctual trait that's been lying dormant for the past 23 years. I'm confident. Re-read that before you continue. Done? Okay, pressing on. Here's how it all happened. As anyone who knows me or reads my blog kno...
Thursday, February 15, 2007 10:52pm
So, this weekend I caught "The Truth About Cats and Dogs" on TV. I've seen the film before, and, as a male secure with his masculinity, I can say I always enjoy it. Watching this time though, I got thinking about the whole "it's what's on the inside" and "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing...
Saturday, February 10, 2007 1:28pm
Welcome back, Me. I discovered Barack Obama's announcement of running for Presidency. His speech is really good. Here are some key points: Acknowledges that his announcement is somewhat audacious because he hasn't been in Washington very long, but as he says, he's been there "long enough t...

Monday, January 08, 2007 10:50pm
So, I finally have some plans for 2007. I half assed them in the last post, but here's something concrete. Eat Better Lord knows I won't cut out fast food altogether, but I seriously want to eat a little better. All I eat is shit. Go to New York This is all contingent on my raise/vacation k...
Monday, January 01, 2007 11:13pm
So here it is: a brand new year. 2007. So what did 2006 bring me? A new job A new girlfriend A new ex-girlfriend One less grandparent That's about it. So, based on that, 2006 was a 50/50 year. Here's my predictions for 2007: I'll go to my 5-year high school reunion I'll get promote...
Wednesday, December 27, 2006 6:33pm
I'm gonna lie down in the street now, if anyone's looking for me. ...
Wednesday, November 08, 2006 12:02am
I'm going to do a run down on the past couple of weeks. I'll get a solid post up sometime soon. As I mentioned earlier, I've met a girl. Her name's Brandi. I guess I should say she met me because she was the one with the guts to say anything. Anyway, after a few weeks of me halfway talking to h...
Sunday, October 22, 2006 11:53pm
So, I've officially ended my online dating experiment. I've closed all my accounts. As Mike suggested, maybe shelling out the cash for all of them would've yielded better results, so I'm going to have to say my findings are inconclusive. I do have to say this though: real life works far better. ...
Sunday, October 15, 2006 2:09pm
Work: Awesome. Couldn't love it more. Weekend: Freaking great. Started on Thursday with 80s night, rocked high for Lance and Mimi's party, and topped off with a fun Saturday at the Cabin with some new guests. Website: Working on a new social networking website that is combinging the best idea...
Sunday, September 24, 2006 11:19pm
So, I've been doing some more thinking about life and its many instances of crap. Thursday night I went out with some guys from work and Chris to 80s night at One Eyed Jack's. Had a good time, cool hanging out with guys from the new job. Anyhow, one of my coworkers, Kurt (Not my cousin's husband...
Monday, September 18, 2006 1:00am
Amazing Saturday night. Lots of people, lots of drinks, and lots more fun. Seriously, if you want in, drop me a line. So here's an update on my online dating experiment. It's been less than a month since I started — three weeks to the day, actually. I've been matched with I believe 5 women...
Wednesday, September 06, 2006 10:31pm
On a more serious note, I've made a documentary about how far along (or how little far along) New Orleans has gotten in the last year. I filmed it over Labor Day weekend with the help of my cousin and her husband driving and navigating me through the city. The camera's a bit shakey, but I was in...
Saturday, August 26, 2006 4:28pm
So, one of three things is happening: these online services are terrible at finding matches, there are no women in the world who have the qualities I'm looking for, or I'm extremly impatient. eHarmony has no matches for me today. Neither does Chemistry. Match isn't automatic, so I run periodic s...
Friday, August 25, 2006 4:21pm
So, in continuing with my project, I joined Match.com. I feel less confident with Match. Match's survey was more those typical survey's you get passed around the internet. It took less than 20 minutes, as opposed to eHarmony's 40 minutes. Most of the questions were short answer. Not too many multip...
Friday, August 25, 2006 1:26am
Quick note: I started school again. Taking two classes, but the important hing is, I'm back at college. Hooray Geoff! Chris and I have discussed on many occassions how similar we are to each other. We also laugh at the Match.com and eHarmony.com commercials. Well, tonight, I've decided to put th...
Monday, August 21, 2006 1:09am
I know, I've neglected the blog for a little while. I've had a lot going on. I re-applied to UNO. I wanan go back, even if just for like 2 classes a week. I want to get my CS degree and I want to be a teacher. I want to do high school. I figure, high school kids hate school and think it's all bu...
Sunday, July 23, 2006 12:22pm
I stumbled upon this article via Fark today. It's a list of the best cities in America to find a job. New Orleans and Denver are the two worst cities. Which is quite interesting. There's literally thousands of jobs available, and nearly all are paying much more than they were pre-Katrina. On...

Disclaimer: Because of personal ties with one of the "suspects" this post may contain some bias. Also, due to my rage that incident is being handled how it is, I'll refrain from a Podcast because I think the many expletives you'll read will more than cover your daily allotted dosage of "fuck....
Monday, July 17, 2006 1:08am
I don't have much to say other than the fact that I want to be this guy. Old, happy, eating wings at Hooters, drinking beer, and staring at big ol' boobies. Not a care in the world. I hope I'm half as awesome as this guy one day. ...
Monday, July 10, 2006 11:07pm
Today's Monday. That means I wish it were Friday. I've realized tonight that I'm bored. And not like, just right now I'm bored. I'm bored with everything. Here's a short list of aspects in my life that don't bore me: Killian's Friends Family Camels I'm bored with work. I love this n...
Saturday, July 08, 2006 1:28am
I was thinking about next month being August already. 2006 is kinda zooming by. August brings with it an interesting date. August 29th. That'll be one year since Hurricane Katrina made landfall over New Orleans. I'm going to reflect more on the anniversary as it looms closer, but I was just looking...
Thursday, June 29, 2006 11:07pm
So, this morning I had my first visit ever to the eye doctor. Yeah, I know. In 22 years you would've thought I would've gone. Especially since everyone in my immediate family wears glasses. Eye tests are pretty benign compared to going to a physician or the dentist. First test: cover your...
Wednesday, June 21, 2006 10:58pm
So, the US House of Representatives voted once again to keep the national minimum wage at $5.15 an hour. No reasons given — just, they didn't want to. Maybe they feel a family could survive on $5.15/hour, or that the economy is so hurt that no one could afford to pay salaries higher than t...
Thursday, June 15, 2006 9:13pm
June 1st marked the start of the 2006 hurricane season, and we've already had one named storm. I'm willing to bet this year won't be unlike 2005. So, I'm going to start making plans. First, I'm going to decide when I'm going to leave. I'm staying for tropical storms and Category 1 storms. I h...
Monday, June 12, 2006 1:30am
I've been following this guy, Adam Scott who decided he wanted to see what would happen if he only ate monkey food for a week. He has a video journal of each day. It's pretty interesting. But a lot of people were leaving comments like "Why are you doing this? You're so stupid. Get a life." Toda...
Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:40pm
Well, I got it. Go take a look at my Flickr account and you'll get to witness it in all it's bad ass glory. Questions I got tonight: Why so big? This was my first one. I figured, if I'm gonna do it, may as well go all out. Did it hurt? It's 7 needles moving thousands of times a second. Y...
Wednesday, June 07, 2006 6:45pm
I'll go ahead and get this out of the way: I did a new layout. I've been working with this for a while and I finally made it happen. I'm pretty satisfied with it, although there's a couple of issues with the bottom of the page, but I'm not overly concerned about that right now. I'm really very happ...
Monday, June 05, 2006 1:10am
So, what do you do when you put everything in your life back on track, put it on cruise control, and then have it hit a fucking tree? Do you sit and whine because you did exactly what you warned yourself not to do? Probably. How many more times are you going to follow this trend? After A come...
Saturday, June 03, 2006 2:39pm
So, in a little while, I'll be going to go see Walt Clark. For those of you not in the know, Walt is one of the best tattoo artists in the NOLA area. He actually lived with Chris from Miami Ink and was going to be on the show, but yeah. I'm going to have this plastered on my back for all of eternit...
Tuesday, May 30, 2006 12:58am
Geoff, self, as you check your site over the next few days because you're obsessed with checking for new comments, please read this each time: JUST RELAX. And everything will be cool. You've got this under control. You're making a non-issue an issue. Life is good and it's only going to get be...
Sunday, May 28, 2006 4:19pm
It's probably from all the non-stop rocking I did last night. Last night, went to go see In Flames at the House of Blues with Kurt, Kevin, Chris, and Alex. It was nothing short of awesome. It was probably one of, if not, the best shows I've ever been to where there were no special effects and the b...
Sunday, May 14, 2006 11:55pm
So, Calie and I aren't together anymore. We're still friends and talk and will hang out, but we're not doing the relationship thing anymore. It was a mutual decision and I think it'll work well. We get a long and hardly fight and we have stuff in common. Just, I guess the umph went away. ...
Monday, May 08, 2006 11:41pm
So, I quit GameTrader. I put in a good four years and made it from the bottom up to the top. Only problem was, the pay wasn't enough for me to fully make it on my own (just enough to pay the bills), and there was no room for advancement. So, I looked for a while and had no luck. Then one day,...
Tuesday, May 02, 2006 2:05am
Tonight, I made this: No, it's not a narcotic. It's a big bag of my hair from my face and my head. I decided to trim my beard since it was getting pretty long. Shaved it down and then I looked like Joe Dirt. As a result, I shaved the mustache off and cleaned up the edges. I st...
Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:24pm
So Neil Young has a new album coming out called Living with War and he pretty much spells out why America's fucking up. The song that has everyone (and by 'everyone' I mean the media is making it out to be worse than it is) talking is called "Let's Impeach the President." Fox News had the lyrics po...
Tuesday, March 21, 2006 1:14am
I kinda forgot… Anyhow, I've been trying this new sleeping habbit. Most people think "Early to bed, early to rise" is the best way to become an early riser. Some people think that the best way to sleep is to go to sleep when you're tired and wake up when your body tells you to. Both s...
Thursday, March 16, 2006 12:48am
don't forget to remind me to tell you guys about my new sleeping habits, my job, and life in general. too tired to type it all out right now. I did watch two movies I've been wanting to: clockwork orange and walk the line. more on that later. ...
Thursday, March 02, 2006 11:40pm
As the IT Director at my company, I work directly under the CEO. And since I work directly under the CEO, I get badgered via e-mail, AIM, and telephone about the status of whatever projects I'm currently working on. After four years, I've finally figured out the secret to making your boss think you...
Tuesday, February 21, 2006 12:48am
Welcome back, Sir. It certainly has been some time since you've come to visit me. Almost as if I've lost you. Apparently the name change and moving wasn't enough for you. You, sir, are far too intelligent to fall for that. I've told you tenfold that you're no longer welcome in my life. You br...
Friday, February 17, 2006 1:43am
Tonight was me and Calie's five year anniversary. Nevermind the break. We had a nice dinner at Sweet Fire & Ice. Good stuff. Last night, I started remembering the good ol' days when I wa sin the Fraggles. Watching Start Select pratice in my house makes me nostalgic. I miss those days of getting ...
Friday, February 10, 2006 1:48am
So, I'm driving down I-10 near LaPlace this afternoon on an errand for work. Traffic's all screwed up for one reason or another, so it's brake-gas-brake-gas for miles. Right past the Hwy 51 exit the guy in front of me makes a last minute decision to stop. As a result, I stop, probably 3 feet behind...
Tuesday, January 24, 2006 11:39pm
I think I'm going to start blogging writing on my blog website more. And not my usual whinings and crap. Not to say I'm stopping that. Ranting will be in full force. But so will anything else I find online that seems pretty cool. I'll start now. ------------------------------------- ...
Friday, January 13, 2006 1:11am
So, I went to Deathclock.com out of curiosity. I filled out the form with these values: Day of Birth: 4 Month of Birth: January Year of Birth: 1984 Sex: Male Mode: Normal BMI: Smoking status: Smoker. My date of death was calculated at Tuesday, October 16, 2057. 73 years old. Below th...

So, Wednesday was my 22nd Birthday. We're celebrating tonight around 8pm (that's Saturday, the 7th) at my house. Call me if you wanna go. Or reply to this and hopefully I'll see it in time and will give you directions. If you read this site on any sort of regular basis (or irregular basis), you're ...
Wednesday, January 04, 2006 1:55am
First, an update to my previous "hypothetical" post. I took everyone's advice and talked to my boss. Told him about 85% of everything I posted about and did my best not to hold back. Worked like a charm. I got a nice fat $1.50 raise putting me at a pay rate I feel to be appropriate. And it's mor...
Friday, December 30, 2005 1:44am
I'm somewhat of a grammar nazi. I like properly typed things. I also like hearing things properly. I have three basic rules when it comes to internet grammar: 1. If you're typing in some sort of instant form of communication (chat room, IM), a few typos here and there are acceptable. 2. If you'...
Monday, December 26, 2005 2:51am
I had a nice Christmas. Didn't feel much like Christmas, but hey, it was nice to have it in New Orleans. Now, to the topic at hand mobile! I want honest opinions from my handful of readers on this. Let's say, you were in high school and decided to get a job. You fill out an application at ...
Friday, December 23, 2005 1:29am
For this ">O'Reillymas Season, here's some things I want, a mere 109 days after Katrina: I want Ray Nagin to not be the mayor of New Orleans but be the mayor for New Orleans. I want George Bush to come through with his "better levees" promise I want my Dad and Uncle's gas station to reop...
Wednesday, December 21, 2005 2:12am
There was a time when blogs existed for one to place their thoughts out in the open. A digital journal, if you will. That's why services like LiveJournal came into existance. Recently, "blogging" has become a term we use to describe any website that has periodic updates, or, "posts." Blogs, short f...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 9:23pm
So, Mayor Ray Nagin announced today that they would be launching free city-wide WiFi internet with download speeds of up to 512kb/s, pretty much awesome. I like this idea. Now, granted, that speed is illegal abse don state laws so it will probably drop to 128kb/s once the state of emergency is l...
Tuesday, November 29, 2005 12:41am
So I cooked again tonight. I think I was a dragon for a short while due to the peppery content of my spaghetti sauce . The Tony's was fine. Calie informed be of the fact that ONE shake of the crushed red pepper would have sufficed. I mean, it tasted good, untill your mouth numbed up and you ...
Monday, November 28, 2005 12:30am
It's official: I've launched Rate-Everything.com . The site was all Alex and Kevin's ideas, then I jumped in and made the site. It uses the Frisbee software I wrote that powers Frobba. Rate Everything will attempt to rate, well, everything. While other sites only rate music, or movies, or games...
Wednesday, November 23, 2005 2:12am
It's been a while since I last posted, probably close to six months by now. Sorry about the delay. Anyways, here's an update of what's happening. I moved to Chicago this past winter to pursue a career in the package delivery industry. I can't say the name of the company, but it's a service th...
Monday, November 07, 2005 6:08pm
I just got back from court for my speeding ticket I got back in May. Didn't take long. Calie's dad went with me and we got it taken care of. The Tropper didn't show either, which made things easier. So, for now, I'm a free man. That is, untill my evaluation at work tomorrow. Curious to see ...
Tuesday, October 11, 2005 3:05am
So, everything's starting to be normal again after this KatRita stuff. No, not really. Yeah, I'm back home. Yeah, I'm at work. It's still not normal. Won't be for a while. Guess I'll just whine about it on my blog like the majority of LiveJournal and MySpacers. Remember a few months ago wh...
Friday, September 30, 2005 3:57am
I created some digital art tonight. It's in the Gallery under the Super NOLA System section. It's an homage to my beloved city of New Orleans as well as an homage to some of the best video games in history of gaming. See if you can pick out all the locations in the images. ...

I want out. I want to go back home. I can't handle this anymore. I'm trapped. I have 6 cable channels, 3 of which air the same thing 75% of the time, all of which air news and Katrina updates, save for the Home Shopping Network. I have dial-up AOL internet. I'm not in my own bed. I'm not in m...
Wednesday, September 07, 2005 11:53pm
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina we have many questions. One major question is simply “Why?” Why us? Why did this happen to the fine people of New Orleans, Louisiana? No one will ever know. That’s why it’s called a natural disaster. Sure, we could go into the science of hurricanes and how they redi...
Sunday, September 04, 2005 11:17pm
Here's my recent posts on MySpace, syndicated here: August 31 I'm on dial-up via a free AOL disc from Wal-Mart. We're in Auburn, probably till Friday when we'll trek to Morgan City to meet up with Mae and Mark. I don't know if I have a job anymore. The Edgwater Mall in Biloxi is nonexist...
Wednesday, August 31, 2005 1:43am
This is my city. The city I just recently fell in love with. It's now gone. Possibly 10 feet of water at my parents' house. Probably 5+ feet at my house. My sisters' house? Completely submerged. My fathers' business is probably gone as well. Everything my family has worked for is gone. ...
Saturday, August 27, 2005 1:00pm
So, this Katrina chick might be coming right to New Orleans. I may or may not remain in town. I'll probably stay, but either way, I know I'm losing power at my house as it goes out if we sneeze too hard, so I might be unavailable via the normal means (frobba.com, aim, warcraft) so as usual, tag my ...
Tuesday, August 23, 2005 11:43am
I haven't updated in a couple of weeks. Mostly because of World of Warcraft. Partly because of work. I'm sure I've mentioned it before, but in case I haven't, I'm writing this new software for the company that will revolutionize the way we do business. I've already written a program that acts as...
Monday, August 08, 2005 1:28pm
So, I have a new phone through work. I've had it for like three months, but I've also had my old personal phone as well. I finally got around to cancelling my old phone, so my old 913 number won't work anymore after the 19th. I called everyone in my contacts to alert them, but I may not have gotten...
Saturday, July 23, 2005 2:22pm
New Orleans has a high crime rate. The public school system is a joke. The French Quarter reeks of urine and vomit — and garbage. No one fully understands the rules of the road. Customers are rude. It's humid and hot 10 months of the year. But I love this city with every ounce of my being....
Tuesday, July 05, 2005 5:37pm
Okay, allow me to dive into my personal life. Mind you, this is in no way a cry for help or sympathy. I just want to think outloud, via blogging. I'm in a financial bind. My first month of living on my own went very well. I had a nice lump of cash under my matress. Unfortunately, I was much unli...
Tuesday, July 05, 2005 12:19am
It's been some time, I know. So, this weekend consisted of me working and watching some movies. Some Fourth, huh? Anyways, Thursday night, the whole gang went to go see Batman Begins. It was fantastic. Michael Kane was a great Alfred. The movie was a great beginning to the franchise. It, like...
Sunday, June 05, 2005 9:25pm
So, last night, I worked the door at Nick's. It was awesome. I made some easy cash. I planned to use it to buy a new tire since I destroyed my other one on a curb Friday night. Everything was going great. No patrons patronized me. I did my job well. I was initiated into the Nick's family. We were h...
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 12:52am
So, Sunday night, I'm leaving Nick's. I'm on Airline. About 5 blocks from my house. I'm speeding. It's like 3am, so, there's no traffic. No traffic except for the State Trooper chilling in the neutral ground. I received my first (and hopefully last) speeding ticket. 55 in a 40. The suck. Hopefully ...
Monday, May 16, 2005 3:33am
Every man has an event occur in his life that chanegs the events forthcoming. Every man has an incident that causes them to stop, and think. Every man has something happen that yells at them: "You, sir, need to change your ways.” Every man has an event occur in his life that changes his wa...
Sunday, May 15, 2005 1:28pm
The thing that baffles me is that one can go from this extreme level of sadness, wake up one morning and change his life to the complete polar opposite, but quicker than a mouse losing his head in an effort to have a meal on a six-inch by 3-inch wooden rectangle of death, he can suddenly be back at...
Friday, May 13, 2005 2:33am
First things first: Stan update. My mom called me this afternoon. My dad's doing a lot better. He's been on an IV and steroids and antibiotics and crap and he's looking better. He does have colitis, but it's only at the end of his colon, the top looks perfect healthy, they say. They've got him o...
Tuesday, May 10, 2005 8:04pm
So, my plan for today was this: Wake up early, go to work early, get off early. Instead, I get woken up extra early by Cox Cable mucking around with the incoming cable outside my window. I'm assuming they were fixing the shitty service of internet they've been giving us. So I get back to slee...
Tuesday, May 10, 2005 12:38am
I have a lot to do. A lot of it is stuff that I HAVE to do. A lot of it is stuff I need to do. I'll fling some examples in your direction: Stuff I HAVE to Do Buy shelf brackets to mount shelf above my desk Buy lock to put on bedroom door for those special moments Finish unpacking Hook up all...
Sunday, May 08, 2005 3:13am
Well, I'm all moved into the new house. I still have a couple of boxes to unpack, but it's all here. I'm definitely going to enjoy this. Caroline, Keith, Blake, Matt, Mark, and Aimée came by tonight to check out the place. A little while later, Calie and her aunt Carmel Ann came and gave m...
Friday, May 06, 2005 11:22pm
Well, It has begun… I've started packing up all of my belongings. This time tomorrow, I'll be in my new home. It's kind of sad. Tonight's my last night sleeping in my parents' house. Man, the things I did in this room. Most of which I would never post here. Jeez, I was a crazy kid in high...
Monday, May 02, 2005 4:44pm
Before I begin, I'd just like to point out that because of my Friday night post, I am now the number 1 result on MSN when you search for "gangsta ass niggas." That ranks before all the lyrics websites. Oh yeah, baby. Proof, bitches I had an awesome Sunday night. Went to go see Hitchhicker's Guid...

Before my weekend update, check this out: High-fives are Okay, Hugs Are Not. I'm all for promoting the high-five, but come on, banning hugs? Had a decent Saturday. I had planned to go to the apartment around noon with Gootee to go check and see what lightbulbs we need to replace since we have po...

Decent night last night. Hung out with Brad at Nick's. Stayed till the staff was locking the door and setting the alarm. Good people, those bartenders. Plans went mildly awry last night. Although, no solid plans exisited, so I can't 100% say that. But I had a good time nonetheless. Sometimes you...

I am so damned tired. Yet I slept till 11 today. Go figure. Anyways, I've been working like crazy. I'm taking next Friday and next Monday off of work. I need some time off. I go to work and stare at my computer for hours on end. I do about 3 hours of work in about eight hours. Which, when you're...

I'm posting for the sake of posting. Apparently, I'm addicted to blogging. Dane Cook is tomorrow night. Pretty God-damned excited about that. The whole crew should be there: Christina, Gootee, Mae, Mark, Brad, Meghan, Mike, and I think Caroline? Blake? Hm. Anyways. Should be a good show, what wi...

So, Gootee and I went to the apartment the other day to do some cleaning. We pressure washed the outside of the house a good bit and even cleaned out the shed in the back, which is on its way to becoming the Lounge/Saloon/Uncle Kenny's Cabin. I took some pictures. It'll be a virtual tour of sort...

I just got back from the Toyota dealership. SO, the plan was to buy that used 2004 Corolla. But today, my dad did some research and the brand new 2005 corolla's weren't much more than the sued 2004 we were looking at. So, after signing about 3000 papers and contracts and my dad haggling for a wh...

So, I cleaned out Ted today. I took out my stereo and put the factory one back in and took out my aftermarket speakers and put the factory ones back in. I emptied out my glove box like I lost my job or something. I cleaned out so much crap. I found some really random things in my car. 3 hats ...

So, I've been on MySpace for a while now. Mostly to link up with old friends, as well as current ones and maybe make some new ones. For the first few weeks, the only requests for friendship I had were people who know me in real life. I also only had like 62 profile views. The past 3 days I've...
Saturday, March 05, 2005 2:40am
I should be in bed. MS Walk starts in 5:15. Oh well.. four hours of sleep will do. So, I got my car back tonight. Excited about that. Oh, but guess what, on my way to Nick's tonight, check engine light came on. I said "fuck it" and drove there and back with the check engine light on. Like hell m...

I have a sad story and a funny story. Most people would tell the sad story first and tell the funny one so you elave happy. Funny story first: Robby and I were discussing our iPods, namely how pissed we are Apple released a 30GB iPod Photo for $50 more than we paid for our 15 and 20 gig iPods. ...
Sunday, January 16, 2005 2:51am
I've got a pretty interesting story. I want to share it here, but, because of the people involved and its content it wouldn't be in those people's best itnerest for me to post about it here. If you wanna know about my Friday night, drop me an e-mail. BTW… had a nice Saturday night as well....

So, I'm getting a new car soon. A NEW car…not used. I'm saving some money and according to my math, I can afford the note each month. I'm looking at the new Scion tC's… they're pretty cheap ($17k for the automatic) and they're really nice cars… I'm pretty excited about this. Plus,...

Well, here it is: 2005. 2004 was alright. Can't say I had a bad year. 2005 marks my 21st year alive, as well as the 20th anniversary of the NES in the US. But the year isn't starting off well for everyone. In case you've been under a rock the past few days, there was a huge earthquake (largest i...

While looking through my closet one day, I found my Christmas light pants from one of the Fraggles' shows. I got thinking: what about a reunion show? Just a one-time show, no practicing (or maybe just one day). I spoke to Jacob about it and he's down with it. I think Steven will be the hardest one ...
Tuesday, September 21, 2004 12:53am
So, I'm back at school and all as most of you know. I've switched to Fine Arts with a focus on Digital Media (web/graphic design). Sounds good, right? Right up my alley, I'd say. But, I've realized how much I fucking despise school. Each class, I sit there and think about how much I don't want t...

So, my right front tire's tread was going bare. Yesterday evening, it went flat. Luckily, Calie was following me from UNO, so she was there with me. I pulled onto a side street and proceeded to jack up the car and remove the tire. Everything was going just fine. But the tire was rusted or corroded ...

Here's a new update… So I'm back at school. Changed my major to Digital Media, which is essentially graphic design with some web design as well. I think it'll be good for me. I'm only taking three classes: Major American Writers, Spanish 1002, and Intro to Drawing. I figured since I'm work...

I adopted a kitten Sunday. My sister's friends live in an apartment complex of St. Charles and some strays hung around there. The strays had a litter. Then that litter had a litter. So, there were a bunch of homeless cats there. As many of you know, my parents were way against having a second cat. ...

If you've ever listened to Tool, you'll know of a song called "Forty-six & Two." I knew that there had to be some significance to this name, so I researched it. It seams that 46 & 2 is something that comes from the teachings of Drunvalo Melchezadek. He's this guru-type guy who holds these "Flower o...

sometimes it happens and im not sure why. it just comes like fire. or an earthquake. all's quiet. then a slow roar — blood boiling — destruction. death. pain. suffering. then fema — my realization — comes. they try to help the victim. they console them. they help them rebuil...

I bought a CD Player Saturday. It's beautiful…the LCD screen periodically fades in and out of various colors and it plays cool animations of people driving, BMXing, skateboarding, snowboarding, and scuba diving every so often. It also has CD-Text so CD-Text enabled CDs show the artist, abum, ...

A while back, I was looking for a job. I applied at GameTrader in the Esplanade Mall. Just yesterday I went to Circuit City and CompUSA to get applications.

Today is Christmas Adam, the day before Christmas Eve. I haven't been able to get into the spirit of things this year. I'm not quite sure why. I just got a little pissed off earlier. I was listening to Staind's Dysfunction and track 5, "Mudshovel," at exactly 9 seconds freezes on me. Aaron Lewis is...
