boobs

so as i'm playing poker tonite and talking about jennifer tilly winning the females championship of the WSOP, and thinking about boobs, like i do often, i decided that there is no doubt in my mind that if JT was sitting at that cheap purple pilled up felt table cloth covering of a shit we call our poker table, i would call her boobs magee. (McGee)? i don't know how to spell.

the moral of the story is: jt - if i'm ever hanging out with you, you nickname will be boobs magee, like it or not, sorry thats just how things have to be.

and as i was saying.....

i just happen to catch this headline today and it made me think of my post from a few days ago, or hell maybe it was even yesterday, anyway, it will be obvious which one i mean.

and a quote from the article:
"The family of four will use the FCX for commuting to and from work and school, shopping and other family driving, and give feedback to Honda on the car's performance."

yeah, that and they gonna get down to some screwin in the back seat, YEAH BABY! Jon is going to screw Sandy's brains out!!!

on my way home from work...

I saw this bumper sticker on my way home from work today and wondered why alternative fuels have not become more widely used? or maybe they are starting to in newer cars, i haven't been in the market for a new car, so i don't know. i wish i was a little bit closer to work and i'd start biking again. i did get out for about 8 miles tonite and it felt good. it has been "dan get off your ass" month!

oh no, my tv is gay....

what the fuck, why do they [mtv] need another one? wasn't one enough?

playing football (soccer)

i finally got out on the soccer field today again. errrr well at least a large area of grass with a soccer ball, not quite a field but it was still fun. along with bierwoman and onree d'france we beat on 3 little kids that must have been, oh hmmmmm, 8 - 10 years old maybe? we totally schooled them, it was great! they didn't even see it coming. team space invaders they called themselves, bah i say, they couldn't have invaded a shallow lake from a leaky canoe....

gotta get out to the soccer field large grassy area more often, it felt good to beat up on some small kids! yeah!!! kids if your reading this, don't try to match up against team TT again, it'll just end painfully for you.....

make me a logo!

in one more attempt to make something decent of a good idea i had a long time ago, i've decided to start some work on fargobar.com again. to make anything mildly successfull out of it, i need someone who has some decent graphical skills. i'm looking for at least someone who could create a logo for the site. this is a no-pay job, but if the site is ever really successfull i'll be sure to re-pay the artist back if i use your logo. and if you want to work up a full site design, that'd be even better, but i really need at least a logo for now!

leave a comment or email me directly if you are interested.

ALSO: to all fargo-ites and moorhead-ites (which i will be soon), mail me a list of all the bar or restaurant specials that you can get your hands on! i don't get out as much as i used to and i'm terrible about trying to collect these specials myself....

and if you wanna design a logo for this website, go ahead, it could probably use some graphics on it somewhere??

the random quotes

since i moved the site to blogger i didn't have my random quotebook available anymore. so i create a whole seperate blog for it. i just added a new one today of something that just seemed really weird. usually i keep them to people i know, but this was just so strange. maybe because i'm hung over my brain just didn't process information quite correct. anyway, check out the random quotebook to see what it was. email me or leave a comment and i'll invite you to be a member of that blog so you can post to it yourself too!

watch a baseball game

as i was sitting in onree's basement, sipping on a bottle of coors lite that wasn't tasting up to par (as good as the high life!), i flicked the tv channel to a fuckin redhawks game. for those of you who don't know the redhawks are the local baseball team, so it seemed weird that their game was on tv, but i put on some rem in the stereo and blasted it so i wouldn't have to listen to the game also. then something happened that will forever change my life......

the tv camera went to the manager/coach of the redhawks in his glorious uniform that matches all the players' uniforms. i wondered why the coach with his very nicely sized beer belly (MUCH larger than my own) wears a uniform as if he's gonna be called in for a pinch run or something? i then realized this always takes place in baseball, and i'd bet it even takes place in softball too??

so why does that fucker always have the same shit on that the players wear? is he gonna have to play in case he runs out of pitchers?

give me a peanutbutter/cheese sandwich and i'm off to bed finally!

by the hair of jurgen klinsman

and as you can see by the hair of jurgen klinsman is something you don't expect to hear everyday, or necessairly ever, but i just heard it. and as you can see by the hair of jurgen klinsman this is a 2-2 game!

speaking of jurgen klinsman's hair, it makes me think about the failed search for a gay chinaman again. i challenge anyone who thinks that chinese are gay to find a gay chinaman to leave a comment here.

i smell a goal for germany coming soon, to knock brazil out of the confederations cup!

that didn't take too long

the new template is about done. tell me what you think. i cut some crap out that should make the page load faster too!

what about the new template?
less shitty than before
more shitty than before
equal amount of shit
i don't give a shit

template changes

i've changed up my blogger template and over the next x amount of time i'll be making changes until i like it a little bit more. if you've seen the site recently you know something in my template got screwed up and i had to do something to fix it. since i'm the user interface fuckin master, i decided to just pick a new blogger template and make minor changes......

i don't understand why there is suddenly so much empty space at the top of my first post - scroll down a ways

i am not putting this shit in there intentionally.... wtf?

Brazilians will not bamboozle us vows Ballack

oh and by the way, no need to thank me for indroducing you to fashion!

for now, only one kpreader knows what [that title] means. but i use it as a title here becasue i wanted to write about one of the dumbest things i've seen recently, and the story about [that title] is pretty dumb itself. expect to hear more about that later!!

so anyway, the dumbest commercial on tv: if you watch G4TV you've no doubt seen it. Its a commercial for westwood college (i think). anyway, here is the set up. its 2 guys playing a video game. i will call them bo and luke, only because they got some old 70's looking haircuts, one dark hair and one blondie. i will call the female in the commercial daisy to stick with the whole duke theme. the beginning scene is bo and luke playing some video game.

BO
ahhh, hurry up man, the boss is coming in.

LUKE
dude, almost got it.

enter daisy

DAISY
hey, how are the graphics coming on that game? i got another one i need designed.

LUKE
we just finished level 3 and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit.

DAISY
great!

exit daisy

LUKE to Bo with with a weird twinkle in his eyes like he knows he's about to get laid
hey, i can't beleive we got jobs doing this.

BO
i know, and my mom said i'd never get anywhere with these games.

ME {the same way the guys in the guinness commercials say it!)
Brilliant!

our new house!

we found a new house pretty quick, made an offer on friday, accepted a counter offer, have an inspection tomorrow and (if the inspection is good) will close on it on july 29!!! This one is also in moorhead, here is a map (our current place and the new place) and below is a picture of the front of it!

new house

our house search continued and has maybe come to an end (again)! we found a house in south moorhead (1616 15th st for you moorhead-ites that want to see it), made an offer, countered their counter offer, and accepted their 2nd counter offer. pending a successfull inspection (keep your fingers crossed for me) on monday, it will be our house at the end of july!

minnesota, here we come!!!!

no house for us (yet)

we had that house inspected yesterday and it didn't turn out well. joists were cut, roof was in bad shape, heating/cooling system was goofy and many other things. so the hunt is on again for a new house!

i'll still name a soccer field after someone when we do get a house. it will probably have to be much smaller, but it will still work.

Tuesday, June 14, 2005

name a soccer field after yourself!

how would you like it if you could say "yeah, pele, he learned to play soccer on the [insert your name here] soccer field. now is your chance, let me explain:

as you know (if you pay any attention to this webiste) i've recently bought a house. still a ways until we move in (inspection is tomorrow, closing date is july 29). and you also may know that i plan on putting a soccer field in the back yard (yes, it will be a small field for 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 games)! my [eventually] children will learn to play soccer on this field. they will also go on to lead the US to world cup triumph, and become household names worldwide. just imagine if you could say they learned to play on a field that was named after you!

here's how: all you have to do i purchase the goals! check my amazon wish list to see if the pugg goals have been purchased yet. if they have not, buy them, have them shipped to me, and i'll name the field after you [or any approved name you want to call it]!

act fast, someone is sure to buy the naming rights soon!

here is an image of what will be the field. it will be in the area past the trees and to the left. i know it doesn't look like much in this pic, but it will make for a nice sized field!

05-2441_3

the best news ever!!!

i just got an email from julie s. (cableone customer service) and she told me that cable service is available at our new place. i was pretty woried cause about a quarter of a mile to the north of us is nothing but fields. i am a bit surprised (and very releived) that i will get to keep my cable modem. the tv service would not bother me at all to change up tho......

now i just have to hope the house isn't flooding right now. its been raining here for the past couple of days and many houses are flooding i guess. keep your fingers crossed for me!

this could spell disaster

and i'm not even sure i spelled it right.

i just realized how satellite internet access is dished out, from some of the major providers (dish, direct tv) at least. the partner with dsl providers. now our new house is quite a ways north or town and i'd be a little surprised if any cable company gets out that far. so i was under the impression that we'd get a satellite, and along with it, satellite internet access. no so. it would require dsl. 1. we have cell phones, i wouldn't want to get a phone line just for dsl. 2. like i said before, its quite a ways out there and prob couldn't even get dsl? 3. i don't want any fucking dsl, i want my cable modem.

maybe i should have re-thought that whole house buying deal?????? shit. what am i to do. i guess i'll find out tomorrow if the cable company goes out that far, i sent an email tonite......

kidpurple got a house!

this weekend we made an offer on a nice house in north moorhead, we receive a counter-offer and are going to accept it! i've got an inspection scheduled for this week, and if that all goes well, we'll be moving into minnesota on the weekend of july 29th!!!!

see my new home here I'm excited, i hope the inspection goes well!!!!!!

I think this is really going to cut into my World of Warcraft time, and thats too bad, but i'd rather have my own house!!!!!

Dear Gurdip,

Thanks for your interest in this little website, I'm glad you like it!

To Everyone other than Gurdip: this character named Gurdip emailed me and asked me about how i create all of this. So i'll write a little bit and provide some links for anyone who is interested in create a site just like this totally free! EVERYTHING YOU SEE HERE IS FREE!!

So here it is, a list of the differnt parts of the website:

1. The most important piece: blogger.com. Blogger is the tool used to build the website and they give you the hosting space too, so without blogger, you are out of luck. (of course there are MANY free blogging tools, but blogger is my favorite!) sign up for a free account at http://blogger.com, or just click the "get your own blog" in the upper right corner of this page!

2. flickr! if you don't know about flickr.com its about time you learn! Flickr lets you upload pictures, and then use them on your blogs or anywhere you'd like! once you've uploaded an image i hit the "all sizes" button and go to the small one. then you just have to copy some code and paste it into you blogger post! pretty easy!

3. I have a couple boxes full of links on the right hand side of the site. the first is my blogroll. this is a handy little tool to have. i have a bookmark set in my browser that will allow me to hit it on a website i want to add to my list of links, and it takes care of everything. just hit up http://www.bloglines.com/ and sign up for a free account. then you should be able to get some code from their site to include on your own website to display the links!

4. the next box of links is from http://del.icio.us/. its a cool site where you can share and tag your bookmarks.

now to display my del.icio.us links i needed to sign up for an account with RSS Digest. this is a free service that allows you to display your xml feed from del.icio.us. sign up for an account and provide them with your del.icio.us information. it looks like they have too much traffic right now, so you may not be able to use this....

5. STATS: stats are kinda a cheesy thing to have on a website, but what the hell huh? you'll notice that the 3 counters i have on the right side of the page are not even really close to each other, so don't use any of this if you need accurate stats. the stats that i like the best is the icon at the very bottom of the page. click here to access that one. and if you click on any of the stats images, you'll go to a page that will allow you to sign up and get your own stats from them.

6. FEEDS: this is a really cool feature, and still totally free. i used FEEDBURNER for this. Sign up for a free account, provide them with you blogger xml file (blogger supplies atom feeds) and they create everything else based on that. you can also give them xml file's for del.icio.us and flickr. then they give you code for the buttons that allows people to subscribe to your feeds! just create a http://my.yahoo.com page and then click on My Yahoo button under feeds, you'll have the kidpurple.com posts right on your my.yahoo page!

then there are just a couple other things. ads from google, my blog map, and that little email address image was created at this website: http://www.nhacks.com/email/

so knowing all that, all you have to do is edit your template in your blogger settings. its just simple html and css. if you don't know anything about html or css, here are some books that mite give you a good start: get them pretty cheap at amazon.com! The CSS reference book is the only one that i have, but the O'rielly books are always good. if you just wanted one book, the visual quickstart guide might be a great choice, it sure is pretty popular at amazon.com and gets very high user reviews!

Cascading Style Sheets 2.0 Programmers Reference

CSS Pocket Reference

HTML for the World Wide Web with XHTML and CSS: Visual QuickStart Guide

HTML & XHTML: The Complete Reference

HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide

i hope this helps you Gurdip, and anyone else who is interested. if it does, leave a comment here with a link to your site!

more proof that people are stupid...

this is a great conversation! i think i would have said the exact same shit this photographer did, i love it!

please, don't be taking screenshots of this website, you know since 9-11 i like to keep things secure......

new poker table

IMG_0318last nite with the help of steve, we made a new poker table. not too shabby, but its not done. eventually we'll add a padded railing along the perimeter. so i ask, should that railing be white, gray, purple, or some other color?

okay, maybe its not fair to say "with the help of steve", it was more like steve made the table, and i kinda watched him do it! thanks Steve!

what color should the padded railing be
white
gray
purple
other (leave a comment)

google maps!

google maps doesn't sound real exciting, maps, so what. but you can do some pretty cool things with it! well i guess officially they don't allow these things but they aren't stopping them either. so i had an idea to plot a map that showed the homes of everyone i know in fargo, along with the houses that we've been looking at! right now there isn't much on my first map, but soon i hope to download this software and run it on my own server! then i'll be able to do much more (i hope!)

check it out here:

house buying is not so easy

we tried to buy a damm house tonite but got rejected. someone offered more money at the same time, so i've decided to set up a donation box, so that we can maybe afford to out-bid some asshole on the next house we find that we want to buy! donate whatever you like, its thru pay pal and more secure than writing a check at a restaurant!







or you can buy a book from me, ohhh sweet, who wants to learn vb6!!!!

kidpurple is lookin for a house

if you've got any hot house tips for me, email them please! we're looking for a house in fargo. we saw one today that we probably would have made an offer on, but we found out they had accepted an offer just a few hours before we saw it :( there is another similar one that we hope to go see tomorrow in north fargo. who knows, maybe by wednesday we'll own a house (or at least have agreed to own a house in the future.....)! wish us better luck than we had today!

google search on blogspot, thumbs down.

i just realized how shitty the search function is in the little bar on the top of the page. look in the upper left hand corner of the page, you got the blogger logo and then a serach box. i searched for some terms that i copied strait from my earlier posts, and it came back with no results. that is very dissiapointing..... i'm sure a lot of people want to search this website for something, maybe for their own name, but now they can and it will return no results weather i've written about you in the past or not, hahahahahahah!!!!

where can you get a good icee???

where the fuck can a guy find a good icee in town (fargo)??? and i mean a real icee, none of that fake shit some places try to sell. i used to get them at the ndsu pizza place in the union, but since i've graduated i have not been there, and they are hard to find around town. this led me to the wonderfull internet (part of which you are reading rite now, what a coincidence!). well it turns out that icee's website has an icee locator, and the stop'n'go just a few blocks from here sells icees!!! lucky day! bring on the icee's mutha fackos!

george bush is really short

there was some type of terrorist attack at a church that i was attending. i saved a bunch of people somehow and george bush came to visit me becasue of it. he was only like 3 feet tall when he showed up. i wondered how he was made to look normal on tv. of course this is a dream that i had recently....

now i'm going to dickinson!
