going home

i always knew i couldn't trust them rabbits. i bet they're the ones behind cottage cheese. there is no way mankind was like, "huh....clumby milk. now that is a good idea."

pet store

so some excitement in my life. went to the pet store and it happened to be feeding time for the pirana.

still missing

i'm getting worried. i haven't seen 9 since before easter. i hope he's ok, though today some werid looking squirrel showed up.

missing

please don't send me a rabbit in the mail thinking you've found 9. I'm sure 9 will come home when ever he or she is ready.

yes i am dead serious

so i once thought these were cool, i've forgotten, but thanks to the web, this can be relived. i'll post a few every once in a while. for a fun little break from adulthood you can go to http://www.garbagepailkidsworld.com/ and build your own virtual gpk.

getting a little chunky?

9 has been enjoying the carrot, a little to much. at least the sun is out and the weather has been great. number 9 has nothing to do with easter. i'm simply trying to befriend the enemy. if they are studying us, i might as well study them. 9 could save the world one day.

que the music

i've taken a liking to blogging. after some deep thinking about the whole thing, i've found myself to be a regular doogie howser. taking the day, with all it's ups and downs, ins and outs, and wrapping it up with profoundness. i've metioned my love for hosptial shows, and doogie being the first i ever dated. back in the day, being so young and thinking, a kid is doctor, that is very believable. now of course, there was nothing real or believable about any of it. . at least we had ALF. i'm glad the poor guy finally made it home. to bad ALF never got a craving for rabbits, nothing against ya 9, just there are a lot of ya just running around out there. so turn up the computer journaling music, we are wrapping things up. folks, take in the world around you, let nothing of greatness slip by, drink in creativity, pee out creativity. mum.

number 9

i've decide to name my rabbit friend because trisha told me to. i've name "it" (i'm not checking to find out the sex) number 9. number 9 has nicknames like 9, 3squared, or my favorite, sabertooth. 9 hasn't moved in two days, but is enjoying the carrot very much. so yes, yesterday i just got plain lazy. i thought why write my own entry, when the web is just whole of other peoples entires just waiting to be stolen. why spend hours of writing when you can spend 2 mins just cut and paste someone's wonderful ideas. props to swift, it was a fare piece of writing. well, after the showdown in the old west tonight i think i'm heading to bed. i'm watching the first season of grey's antomy. after the first episode, i'm looking forward to more. though it's no scrubs mind you.

Google Earth

Google Earth is one of my favorite internet musings. You can go absolutely anywhere in the world. It's the next step from the Atlas, but truthfully by "next step" I really mean next Universe. Who would've thought the "next step" would be so outstanding. I have always loved maps. I've actually had people become fearful and desperately mindful of the time when the question falls from my lips, "Where's your Atlas"... Replies range from the innocent and polite "Um... you know, haven't seen it in ages" to the more aggressive and blatant, "No. We cannot do this right now!" I just spent the last two hours with Google earth. I remember places well and my sense of direction is fairly strong so I can navigate myself pretty decently anywhere I go. I don't forget places very easily, either. I just spent a half hour in Munich (summer '03) retracing my steps from a walking tour a friend and I took of pertinent places in Hitler's rise to power. I visited the meeting place of our group's gathering and took a walk through some main streets to get to the main train station. Found the art store I liked there. Found the toy store I had the most random coversation with a woman in (we discovered we knew a mutual friend from New York - maybe I'll write about that tomorrow). I strolled to the BMW pavilion and took the above ground route to my host home in the more suburban area. I went to Munich tonight because of Google Earth.I also went to Prague. I found the Jewish ghetto where Franz Kafka was born and revisited my hotel. I found Jan Hus' monument and took a walk over the Charles Bridge to the Cathedral overlooking town because of Google Earth.I went to Moscow just for a bit and saw Red Square and St. Basil's. Jess, I have a funny picture of you in front of Lenin's tomb somewhere. I forgot to look for the IKEA I remember off the expressway leaving the city. I forgot to look for this on Google Earth.I went to Split, Croatia and walked through Diocletian's palace . Tried to go to Livno, Bosnia but the image was bad. I went to Krakow, Poland. I went to Vladimir, Russia. I went to Vienna, Austria. I went to Sudan and Kenya because of the book I just finished. On a more local level, I went to the spring of the Mississippi river and followed it home. I would like to revisit London and Dublin, Victoria Fall and Durban. I may visit Tokyo tomorrow. I may not. But I can.It takes seconds to cross and ocean and get somewhere other . My mind is gone in moments. It takes no time at all... thanks to Google Earth.

for you.....

i've ending my dumping streak, and now stand with those who are fighting to be heard.

im so sorry

well i thought i'd take a personal day off from work today. just a lot going on right now. i've spent quite some time today in reflection. it hit me, when i came on today and realized how sad my little rabbit was. i felt so bad for the critter, so i hooked him up. now that balance has been restored to the world, i'm going to run to work for a bit. enjoy my little bunnie buddy.

please cover your puck

i went with tim and trisha (and some others) to see A midsummer night's dream preformed by a little quad city acting troop. i must say my hats are off to them. i enjoyed it a lot. jeremy, if you read this you did great, hats off to ya. it had it's unsettling moments though of bits and pieces being exposed. puck needed a little bigger covering for his trunk. i'm not going to be able to sleep at night. i don't think i can go to CS anymore with out having flash backs. another exciting moment of the evening was the fact it was held at a masonic hall. qutie interesting those little masons are. or is creepy better way to state it. we found super secret documents from 1968. the broken key to the culdron cabnit, and the daughters of the rainbow not getting clearence before using the great hall. Dave Thomas, founder of Wendy's! what a let down. the lift chair.......it works! i am beginning to wonder if it is save to share these things. should i fear for my saftey. mason's could be anywhere, or anyone. MASON backwards is NO SAM. I must warn him. Plug your ears, protect a mime!

my day off

i wanted to go fishing today. it rained. i couldn't find anything cool for my first picture posted so i made one. oh the joys of windows 98 paintbrush.why am i botherd by rabbits lately? be aware of the rabbits in your yard. keep an eye on them.

i once loved fran

Random things for random people. i don't know why i'm doing this, i was getting ready to respond to an email, yes it is coming, and i stumble into the junk mail file. i may have gotten these before, but i havent notice til tonight. as a matter of fact i had completly forgotten this. it was an email from a sitemeter for a xanga i started in 04. i guess some random person had stumbled on the dumb thing and it tripped the ol meter, sending a reactionary email to me. after reading the thing i almost closed it down. but it brought back so many memories. well i kept it. i'm a little shy, i can't write for crap, as you can tell, and rarely get serious, but it has some meaning for me. so i've linked it off the linkage. you can find it here also: http://www.xanga.com/davestarrunner
what really did it for me was the verse and crap i wrote while in San Fran right after graduating college. (i should really go back and polish up the grammer and typo's) I, for the first time (maybe not the first) have experienced the power of writing. it's not to say much, but i was taken back to every spot and moment in franny when and where i wrote the lines. i saw it all again. i was stirred, by the power the words had in my mind to take me there again. so for that i must keep them. cause when i need to get away again or i'm older and need that salty sea water breeze i can find myself there here. so here is me opening the door for you to a piece of me. feast on it, and if you need to spew later. feel free.

there are rabbits in my yard again

i'm still up, don't know why. i went to walmart and came back before going inside. i went to the video store to get a movie, but now they apparently close at 11pm. that sucks. glad you close an hour earlier, but your still standing around inside doing nothing. can't you just scan me a freaking dvd or is the man to tough on you these days that you need a free hour to fart around the store. yes i'm a little bitter. so why is it when i come home at night there are always rabbits in my yard hanging out. and it's just not tonight, it's every night. and then they all just scatter. it's a little creepy. if i came home and there where a group of strangers in my yard congergating then at first alert of the car entering the driveway, scatter, i'd be having me some neighbor watch meetings, and putting the 5-O on patorl. but bunnies in our yards at night seem unalarming. i think we better put some research teams on this one. i'm packing me a shotty in the cutless just in case. them cottonball tails freak me out. i think they are running drug deals out of my back lawn. or some kind of support group meetings about not fitting through certain small spaces. i've tried communicating, "guys, come back, i've got carrots, just want to make friends." i've tried disguises too. all attempts have failed. i need solutions. it might be a storm apporching of holocust proportions. the squirrls seem to be on the frits too. i'm calling animal planet.

This is not a word. yet when i post comments on other bloggers sites i am asked to pass through the blogger super secret experiemental exsistance proof program to make sure i am real and not a junk post comment. their creative juices flowed and came up with word verification. good idea it works, but one problem, these appear not to be real words. the super secret password will never be understood by anyone, or will it. "fizquiis" can't not be found in any human dictionary. there for i believe, and am asking you to join me and prepare for war. aliens from an unknown planet are behind blogger.com. they are watching us. collecting our thoughts with our ever finger stroke. it is not random lettering it is an alien language. they are real words, just not from this planet. we are not alone. V for victory. go. tell your friends. leave no trace of your mind behind. fight for freedom, break the code.

married people

married people are cool. i like them. they get a bad name sometimes for being snobbish, or jerks for abadoning all their friends. Of course i've heard people throw around snotlickerpoopiefacesquared a couple of times but it's all lies. well at least for some of my married people friends it is. so this is for you happily married cool couples. make love under the sheets and hold on to your peeps. happy day you got married tim and trisha. your a great couple. thanks for letting me lay in bed with you, eat your food, hold your guns, playing board games, and passing down your jesus collectables. to all the other married couples. you suck. just kidding i like you too.
