" Mr. Lamb is an Old ex-worn out Motorcycle Racer, 59 and owns his own single-wide deluxe. He was previously on the market - but was pulled off the market temporarily - but is now "back on the market" for a thin, short, petite style woman between the ages of 40 and 55.

"Rent my Forehead! **My bangs will be pulled back for your maximum exposure**" - My Thoughts and Ideas
"Interested in getting access to the thoughts and ideas of a creative and well-educated observer of society? What if you could take those musings and do anything you want with them? You could turn them into essays or term papers, post them in your blog, collect them in a book, or just use them as fuel for your own thinking.
I've had many potentially interested thoughts that I bothered to record. I make it a habit to write down new thoughts and observations. "
Dang ... selling my thoughts so that people can use them for their blogs. Now why didn't I think of that!

Baton Music Meme
You can thank Mr. Kent for this one.
- What’s the total size of music files on your computer?
According to iTunes: 2380 songs, 6.2 days, 12.15 GB. Dang, I have to get working on that number. - What is the last CD you bought?
Travis - 12 Memories, a solid album but I prefer The Man Who - What is the last song you listened to before you read this post?
I Want You - Danko Jones - Name four songs that you listen to a lot or that mean a lot to you.
Sick of Myself - Matthew Sweet = One of my favourite songs of all time, a great get-up-and-go tune
Fade Into You - Mazzy Star = the song reminds me of a moment in time I hold very close to my heart
I Can Feel It - Sloan = I always imagine myself singing this to a girl in the middle of the night as she looks down on me from her balcony
Wonderwall - Oasis = This was the song that started my love affair with this band, one that is still growing strong - Which three people are you passing the baton on to and why?
Kristine because she'll probably want to blog it as well.
Liz because she might find it fun
Jason because he's probably looking for some content to post, ha!

This and That
- Trillian 3.0 is out. My favourite all in one instant messenger client received a face lift on the front end and a tune-up for the back. So if you're using AIM, MSN, ICQ, or Yahoo Messenger, drop jeremiah newbie a line.
- Herman warns you against a dangerous cult known as the Al-gebra! I have fallen victim to their evil deeds before. Heed his warning less you become another variable caught in their web.
- What do you do when a project you've been working on for quite some time is canceled and you're left without a job? Why, you sneak into your old workplace and continue working on it of course. (For the life of me I can't remember who I got this link from; Forgiveness please)
- Lately my online game of choice is Counter-Strike: Source. It is slowly transitioning itself from a "hobby" to an "addiction". I bought a brand new mouse pad to improve my gameplay for Pete's Sake! Thankfully the knowledge that 12-13 year olds are kicking my arse keep my ego and playtime in check.
- Wedding bands are worn on the right or left ring finger? If I'm not mistaken it is the right hand ... right?

Use it to send me cool music!
Dropload.com is something that I thought of years ago but could never work out all the little details to truly implement. Yes yes it sounds like I'm shooting the poop here but I swear it's true, scout's honour. I'll let them explain:
Dropload is a place for you to drop your files off and have them picked up by someone else at a later time. Recipients you specify are sent an email with instructions on how to download the file. Files are removed from the system after 7 days, regardless if they have been picked up or not. You can upload any type of file, mp3, movies, docs, pdfs, up to 100MB each! Recipients can be anyone with an email address
Perfect for passing MP3s, movie clips and that 100 page thesis complete with pie table appendices. Next time I'll tell you about how I thought of creating the Internets well before Al Gore invented them.

I don't blame her
Maria's Adventures in Downtown Toronto is turning into Adventures in Horrible Dating. She has scrapped three from the bottom of the barrel and has asked you, the faithful reader, to pick which one is the worst of the worst. You can choose from:
- Rude guy doesn't even pay for his own dinner
- Hot salami sandwich provokes barfing in Little Italy
- Lavalife date that lasted a good four minutes
I'm leaning towards the "4 minute wonder" myself.

Link mishmash
Why write when there are so many other people out there who do a better job then you?
- Anne received an unexpected surprise on her birthday. I don't think I could have remained as calm as her in that situation.
- Yes it is true, your blog can get you fired. Jenn sums up the dangers of mixing your work with your pleasure pretty well. Remember, the Internet has a long memory and anyone could search for your name in google.
- Now a days my engineering friends are blogging. JJ, Liz, Webster, Zaius, and Jenn, oh my. Watch out for posts about the Epsilon-Delta proof ... I'm kidding! Well, sorta.
In short: Mace is a bad birthday present; Do not blog about work; Engineers can blog-it with the best of them.

This is about as political as this blog is going to get
Go play The Bush Game: The Anti-Bush Online Adventure Game. It is made by the same people that brought you The Emo Game you know and love.
They're in it. Darth Vader is in it. Heck Voltron is in it! What more do you need?!

It's funny because it's true.
"Ha ha," they seem to mock. "My personal weblog is perfectly validated, with no warnings or errors! Therefore, I am better than you."
To which I say, "Shut up, you have a LiveJournal."
Genie-us I say, sheer brilliance!

That's why he's the Good Twin
All week my Good Twin has been featuring fellow bloggers on his photoblog. If you weren't keeping track I popped up earlier this week over here. Not the best photo in the world mind you but I blame the subject, not the photographer.
Kris also gets her time in the spotlight with this wonderful picture. It says volumes about her love for our little buggy friends.
Go on and ch-check it out. You know if I had that many photos of that many bloggers I'd use them as links to their websites instead of a list of names. Hmm ... a link gallery perhaps?

Texting
Little known fact: You can send text messages to your friends for free! The only catch is that the receipient must subscribe to either the Bell or Rogers wireless networks. Both companies have online forms you can use at no cost to yourself. You can find the Bell one at
http://www.txt.bellmobility.ca/
and the Roger's form can be found at the not so elegant URL of
http://www.rogers.com/english/
wireless/sendpcs.html
Now you have no excuse not to message me via the Bell form. Well ... that is if you know my cell phone number. No internet stalkers please; Obsessive fixations over the internet are so 2003.
Update! Click the link below to see the rest.
Wootam! has pointed out that Telus also sports an online text message form. You can find that one at:
http://www.telusmobility.com/
sendamessage/sendamessage.shtml
Also after a bit of confusion on my part, Carla pointed out the Fido equivalent at:
http://www.fido.ca/portal/
home/quickMsg.jsp
That should cover all the major cellphone service providers in the GTA!
