The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees about an urgent problem with one of the main computers; he dialed the employee’s home phone number and was greeted with a child’s whisper:

“Hello.”

Is your daddy home?” he asked.

Yes,” whispered the small voice.

May I talk with him?”

The child whispered, “No!”

Surprised, and wanting to talk with an adult, the boss asked, “Is your Mommy there?”

Yes.”

May I talk with her?”

Again the small voice whispered, “No.”

Hoping there was somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss asked, “Is anybody else there?”

“Yes,” whispered the child, “a policeman.”

Wondering what a cop would be doing at his employee’s home, the boss
asked: “May I speak with the policeman?”

“No, he’s busy”, whispered the child.

Busy doing what?” the boss asks.

“Talking to Daddy and Mommy and the Fireman,” came the whispered answer.

Growing concerned and even worried as he heard what sounded like a helicopter through the earpiece on the phone, the boss asked, “What is
that noise?”

“A hello-copper” answered the whispering voice.

“What is going on there?” asked the boss, now truly alarmed.

In an awed whispering voice the child answered, “The search team just landed the hello-copper.”

Alarmed, concerned, and even more then just a little frustrated the boss asked, “What are they searching for?”

Still whispering, the young voice replied along with a muffled giggle:

“ME!!”

Jonathan and I went to a Carlos Mencia show at the Capital City Comedy Club in Austin, Texas. It was awesome. The show started at about 10:45 and didn’t let out until almost 2:15. There were three comedians, Castella (I think that’s how you spell it), Steve (I think), and Carlos Mencia. I don’t really remember either of the other comedian’s last names, but they were both hilarious. If you don’t know who Carlos Mencia is, you should check out his website at http://www.carlosmencia.com, and look for his new show on Comedy Central. I got a t-shirt signed by him, and Jonathan got a cd and a dvd both signed by him.

Anyway, I don’t have a whole lot of time to talk about it, so.. later.

The cause of last week’s multi car pile on I95 near Brunswick, GA. has not been determined. Crack, however, is suspected.


Crack can kill.

Is anyone up to coming over for some milk shakes?

One tarantula and one man’s pride were hurt in the making of this. (but blame them.)

Well, last night and today I did my taxes. This being the first time I’ve had to do them, they are very confusing. I had 1 source of income and it wasn’t even that much, since I was unemployed until a month before the end of year.

The problem came because my employer did not deduct taxes from my paycheck. There for I was considered an independant contractor (hired to kill, lol j/k). So I have to pay self-employment tax. Anyway, my taxes came out to about 10% of my total income, which I think is kind of outrages considering I made a little over $1,000. I’m hoping they check it and find I made a mistake and send me my check back.

My advice to everyone, never work, mooch off your parents forever.

Well, I just now added a small feature to starkBlog. I added the “categories” section on the links to the right. It took me about 15 minutes, but it felt really good to program some PHP some more and make (some) progress with starkBlog. I haven’t been updating the CVS like I should, and I’m going to regret that. It seems that CVS has fallen behind a bit. It’s not that big of a deal since nobody else has been programing starkBlog except for me. Roo has been too busy with his own software for his third year project, it’s called Blog Tools and it’s a very neat piece of software. The best way I can describe it, is like LiveJournal. I have a really good feeling that it’s going to take off. If you want to help him out and test it for him so he can get all the kinks worked out before he has to turn it in, sign up and shoot him an email, I’m sure he won’t mind ;).

Anyway, I’m going to goto bed. I have to get up early tomorrow morning and go take some quizzes for my humanities class… Later.

Today Jonathan and I headed over to McDonalds after school so we could pick up some food off the dollar menu. Just the fact that we went, planning on getting food off the dollar menu should raise a huge flag that we were short on money. We had a total of $7. We went through the drive-thru and ordered 1double cheese burger, 1 hot-n-spicy McChicken, 2 medium fries and 2 small cokes. The lady told us it’d be cheaper if we got the meals, so we went ahead and did that. Turns out it’s $.12 more to get the meals, but it was an honest mistake on her part. We pulled through and it turns out we’re about $.37 short. We paid with 2 dollar bills and the rest quarters, so.. it took awhile for her to count out all the change. She decided that she’d cover it, as she was saying this, the manager walked right up next to her. I don’t think it’s policy to let people go without paying the full price, so I imagine she probably got a small talking to. After I dropped Jonathan off, I felt really bad about the whole thing, so I went to the bank and got some money out. I gave her $2 to cover the $.37 that I was short, and for her troubles. In return for coming back and paying the “debt” she gave me 3 $15 off coupons to Six Flags: Fiesta Texas. Was the $2 enough, should I have done something else, or was $2 over-generous? What are your thoughts?

And in RexM Blog news, I added a favicon, so when you goto my site, look at the pretty “R” next to the url in the address bar. Yep, I made that with The Gimp. It looks like a 3 year old drew it, but oh well. Do 3 year olds know the concept of shading… I THINK NOT!
