STATUS: Home (bank holiday)

Well, now that i have added comments to this place, i guess that will make me a certifiable bloghead (not to be confused with blockhead). I'll do more tweaking at a later time. For now, Bonzo needs a nap.

STATUS: Work

If you can name a movie that closely resembles your life, whether by title or plot, what would it be?

'Better off Dead'

STATUS: Work

Jumped online to check my emails here at work when i see this headline:

Are Demi and Ashon for real?

So, being the curious sort, i figured 'what the hell' and printed it up to read later. All in all, it's an interesting article, but i really don't give a damn if it's real or not. Celebrities are people also....they just happen to make 10 times more money than we do. The other problem i have is how the media and normal people blow them up to 'super god (or goddess)' status. I mean, come on, these people do their job just like everyone else does, but we don't get glorified for what we do...we have bosses for that. (NOTE: If you are a boss, no offense. I'm talking about us lowly grunts doing the dirty work and you getting the credit. Back before the company i work for changed hands the local newspaper wanted to do a story about us and had the president stand in front of some of the equipment we use every day.... a modem bank. While this is going on, the thought occured to me that he was getting all the credit for what we do. I know, i'm a sick bastard).

'...assisted by the best 40-year-old body money can buy...has re-established her as a sex symbol.'

Um, excuse me, but i don't recall EVER hearing her being called a 'sex symbol' in the first place. She was always the 'wife of Bruce Willis.' When she did 'G.I. Jane' and shaved her head, did they still call her a sex symbol? 'Gutsy' is all i heard. 'Flop' is what movie execs heard. My 2 cents.

Well, after doing a little more research into HTML i managed to tweak this to my liking. Still a long way to go, but it's a start. I know nobody has seen it like it was before, but trust me, it looks a little better. :)
Finally managed to get the byline link working also. Now just a matter of time to include a 'comment.' Progress :)

Had hoped to post something relavent for a change but was engrossed in customizing the site i lost track of time. Work begins in about 6 hours.

(Oh yeah, forgot to mention i don't sleep much during the week).

FAQ

I figured i can get started on some little things about me to give you a better understanding (or confuse you more) of who i am.

Name: LC will do for now.
Location: Central US
Age: 37 (will be 38 in November. Yup, i'm a Scorpio)
Height: 6'4" (193cm for Europeans)
Weight: This is a tough one as i haven't weighed myself in a looong time. The last time i did was around 290lbs (120kg, i think) but that was a few years ago, and i have lost some since then.
Eyes: Green
Hair: Well, what i do have is brownish blonde.
Any distinguishing features: Erm, well i have a goatee, no tatoos, or piercings.
Interests: Music, particularly trance, progressive house, and the occasional rock.
Hobbies: I love to read, when i can. Newspapers, books (science fiction), magazines, whatever i can get a hold of, and interests me.

Well, i hope that gives you a little clue about me.

This is maddening. Last half hour i've been trying to tinker with various aspects of the HTML (and i will admit i don't know squat about it, but you never learn unless you try) particularly with the email part. You know how it is, wanting to customize it to fit how you want. Anyone know how to change the color scheme? Blue isn't my color (at least this kind of blue).

Anyway, it's just a beginning.

Greetings, salutations, and how the hell are ya'll? It's me, LC, coming at you (sorta) live from somewhere in the Heartland (god, i hate that word) of America. Sooner or later, you'll find out where (hint). Anyway, i started this blog about a year ago, only posted 3 things (and deleted them as well, since they were only test posts) then stopped altogether. Why have i returned? Well, i needed a place to get stuff off my chest, and if you're willing to read what i say, that's great. If not, well, at least thank you for stopping by.

I can't say if i will post every day due to my hectic schedule (2 jobs, 15 hours a day during the week) but i will try and update as much as i can, and hope you will stick around for the ride.

So, what will i be talking about mostly? Whatever i feel like. Music, the world around me, something that's caught my attention on the net. I'll give you a short FAQ about me in a later post, but this is my introduction to whoever stops by.
