Let the Spending Begin
Posted on August 20, 2005 by Ching under Toys.
I’d been having problems with my computer for a while. However, I thought I would stick it out for a little bit because I don’t really have enough money to buy a new one. Computer problems aside, guess what actually gave out? My battery backup! I must have turned my computer on a dozen times yesterday. The minute I would turn around and walk away it would immediately shut off. So frustrating!
If you were wondering why the live webcam has been off a lot lately, it’s because of the stupid battery backup. It kept shutting my computer down and thus, no live feed. You know how much I love you all and even though no one really cares about me (as evidenced by the lack of donations), I still want to make sure that the webcam stays on so you can watch me.
This brings me to a quick decision to buy a new batter backup today after the NCCJ walk. It was a hasty decision, but I believe it was the right one.
Brian and I went to Best Buy as soon as I arrived home from the NCCJ walk. While there, we got to play with the new Roboraptor. Oh, and they had these new gaming chairs there also. Brian just had to try it out.
The funny part is that he thought it was like the rocker and so he leaned back on it – but as soon as he did, he flipped backwards and hit his head on the shelf behind him. I wish I could have taken a picture of it because it was totally hilarious! His legs were up in the air and everything! What’s worse is that a lady who was walking through the aisle saw the whole thing and started laughing, which made me laugh even harder!
So anyway, we got me an APC UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for like $110 (after taxes). Naturally we end up browsing the aisles and checking out other stuff. Somehow I got in my noggin that we needed a second printer. I think it’s because I’m tired of looking at the stupid broken one on my desk.
We ended up going to Office Depot and then CompUSA and getting an HP. Brian hates HP products, but their TV commercials have been pretty good lately so I’m hoping that means the product quality has improved also. Seriously, though, this wasn’t a bad price for an all-in-one. The damage came to about $130 for the printer after taxes. You might think that is frivolous considering we already have a printer and a scanner and I could just as well print my documents using Brian’s printer through the home network – that is true and I can’t argue that – and I could just as well ask Brian to scan my stuff for me – ah, but this one I can argue because whenever I do it always takes him like a half an hour to do it when it would take a normal person two seconds.
So, once again, we are back to having two printers. Just the way I like it.
P.S. We also had a nice lunch at Applebee’s today. The highlight was a frozen Bailey’s cappuccino, which is my all-time favorite beverage to drink at the resto.
P.P.S. The trend of not being carded continues and I am really starting to worry. I know I used to whine a lot about how annoying it is to keep getting carded at various establishments and even the movies, but now I’m very, very worried. I know I’ll be turning thirty in a couple of years, but do I really look that old?

My Life!
Posted on August 19, 2005 by Brian under Life.
No one reads my blog so I can pretty much write what I want.
My life is great, with one exception. ME! I’m not great. “Now why would you say that” you ask. Well here’s why. I am a jerk. I’m lazy and I have some rather bad habits that I have been trying (not so hard) to overcome that are a result of my laziness. Oh, you want more details! Ok here it is, 1. I’m a jerk. This is pretty self explanatory. I’m just a jerk. Many years of ups and downs in my life have caused me to have a rather hardened exterior and I tend to brush people the wrong way. I’m not sure if I can ever over come this but I have been giving it a try. I am sure that over time with the help of people that really know me I will over come this. But for now. I’m just a jerk. 2. I’m lazy. Well that pretty much sum’s that up. I am really lazy. I don’t like to do much of anything that involves physical activity. That means I am a couch potato and like to do things like watch TV, movies, play video games and sleep. Oh I love to sleep! This is something I have to over come immediately. The reason is well, I’m getting fat. I looked at myself in the mirror today and realized I had a double chin. Then I realized that I look pregnant. My wife picks on me from time to time but I have always blown it off. Now I see she was just politely trying to tell me that I needed to do something to correct it. The other reason I need to change is for health reasons. If I don’t change, I’m probably going to have a dammed heart attack either at work, or in the middle of sex. Talk about giving someone a complex. I think if I croaked during sex my wife would freak out and probably never have sex again. Either that or she would go on a power trip and think that he sex was so good that it kills people, it could go either way! Then there are the bad habits, as I explained. My bad habits revolve around my laziness. My most prominent bad habit is that I don’t bath every day. I know, some of you are probably saying that I’m gross. Your absolutely right. I am fucking nasty as hell and I have to change.
Now I know you are all wondering why the change. Well there are two reasons but only one really matters to me. That one reason is my wife. I do not like disappointing my wife and in the last 8 months I am sure that I have done nothing but disappoint her. I’m not going to go into great details about what I have done to disappoint her its really none of your business. Lets just say that I feel that I have not been the most ideal husband. This thought makes me sick and want to jump off the highest building in Wichita. But that would be the easy way out and it really wouldn’t make a pretty picture. Plus I wouldn’t want to give the news yet another tragedy to streach out and plaster all over TV, we have enough of that as it is. So instead I’m tightening my belt and digging in for the long haul. Because god as my witness. In the next few months, you are going to notice a Hugh change in this old man. If not then you will be reading about my death in the papers because the loss of my wife would be the end of my sanity, my life and my entire well being.
So those of you that know me and see me here on this sight, I implore you to help me in any way possible. Help me be the man that my wife loves. Help me be the man that she originally fell in love with (skinny Brian as she calls him). Help me be the man that I desperately want to be and improve not only my way of life but hers as well.
someone, any one.

To commemorate Logan’s first day of kindergarten, Dad created a short video (making movies is Dad’s newest passion). You can check out Logan’s video here. Enjoy!
