So, like, I mean, totally, fersure
For reals! YES
What's up homies. It seems like some of you out there are still using Internet Explorer. You reaally reaaaally need to switch over to Firefox www.getfirefox.com. It's a much safer browser to use, and it has TABS for great justice! Seriously, I want to see the 49% of you that are on IE switch over to Firefox by next week. Fersure.
Also, for anyone who hasn't seen the few pictures I took of Brandon and Jamie's wedding, here's the link:

I probably won't be putting these up in the eZabel Pictures section anytime soon, so that's all you're getting from me.

Page 2 of 9I turned off my sidekick yesterday. No service at my new house in the boonies. I feel like a part of me is missing!
Forreeesssteee come baccck!
WHOOO HOOOO (yes Ian I stole that from you) ZSHARE is actually working!!!
Yaaay..just drove over 300 miles back from Maine. I want to collapse.
awww didn't know you were away but, glad you got back in one piece =P
Thanks! Its good to be back in one piece. Maine is nice..Jersey is better!
what was in maine? i was a lil baffled when i got ur text. lobster eating? or viewing the foliage?
Caitlin. Didn't eat any lobsters and the foliage actually wasn't exciting at all!
Oh my..I just remembered this, though. You were in my dream the other night (it was a crazy somewhat cold-med induced)and you were going to go to college in like South Carolina because some boy you met at school was going to go there and you were in love with him. This then sparked some like..natural disaster and we were suddenly sailor scouts? I don't remember the progression there.
ahahhahah who goes to school in south carolina? such a crazy dream. i love it. clearly the real story of this is that we were shooting the new album cover for too fat for spandex and it involved us being sailor scouts but the album was about love. and virginia was booked so obviously we trucked down to south carolina. good dream!
Whoa, my friend just got back from Maine as well.
HERE THEY ARE!!!!
My three boys!!!! (Not including the human ones I claim as my own as well.)
http://www.freeimageshare.com/show.php/3066_theboys.jpeg.html
cute! which one is the new one?
The one farthest to the right. The one on the left is Duncan, the almost 10-month old. Oscar is in the middle, and he will be 2 in May. And Nugget is the new guy. We need a new name for him though.
Here are more pics of the babies....taken from Adam's phone, so not the best quality....but cute nonetheless.
All three boys..
http://www.freeimageshare.com/show.php/3444_theboyspic.jpeg.html
Here's Oscar...
http://www.freeimageshare.com/show.php/3441_oscarpic.jpeg.html
and Duncan....
http://www.freeimageshare.com/show.php/3442_duncanpic.jpeg.html
and Nugget....
http://www.freeimageshare.com/show.php/3443_nuggetpic.jpeg.html
We need help renaming Nugget....the name just doesn't suit him. From his pic, anyone have any suggestions?
you should call him tarantula so when you say there is a tarantula in the house it won't have such a bad connotation
haha
Hahaha....now THERE is an idea, hahahah!!
Okay I'll give it a try...
Brisket
Toby
Diesel
awwww they are so cute!!!! i love doggies.
we went to this burger joint at lunch and they issue #'s for food pick up. so we're sitting there chatting etc and after they had called a few #'s one of my friends screams out "BINGO" and everyone jsut looked at her. I almost choked on my food from laughing so hard!
tell me this was NOT at In-n-Out please
I WISH! it was a place called Knowlwoods.
I've done something similar... small town like 2-3 grocery stores maybe... the sister I was with had this rewards card and once you fill it out completely, you get a prize, she (mistakenly) gave it to me to WIN!! Since I would probably never go to this store again I went overboard!! We won one single dollar (CI$)! I started scream/yelling like I had just been picked for the Price is Right! Good Times, Good times!! :D
HAHAHAHAHA we did that in vegas one time. i won like $3 on one of the slot machines and we were jumping up and down screaming and peeps came over all excited and said "OMG how much did you win" and i said "OMG I WON THREEEEEE DOLLLARS!!!!!" LOL
I love refilling prescriptions over the phone with my pharmacy because their system has this crazy "bubble" noise when it's thinking - it makes me feel like I'm playing a video game.
FedEx has that noise too!
is it like the vh1 "pop up video" noise?
lol people are awesome

hahaaha They had a challenge like this on Amazing Race once.
i wonder how many of these resulted in horrible accidents?
Pics of my puppies!!!!!!!!!
(Hope this works.....)
I'm apparently stooopid, and can't get this to work...can anyone help?
i think you'll have to save the pictures to your computer first, and then host them on imageshack or something
I'm at work, and I'm not allowed to save them to this one....poo. :(
BUTTTTTT....if you go to the first link I posted, highlight the WHOLE thing, and paste it into the address bar, you can see the pics then. :)
i tried that, it doesn't work... probably have to be logged into your account or something.
you can't save a picture to your documents folder temporarily? and then upload it and delete it?
Stupid work computer won't let me....the IT Nazis block a lot of stuff. I'll try later today.
When I highlighted the link, I went right to left, and clicked on the right side to copy it....don't know if that will work.
yeah, i've fixed the link so the entire thing is a link, but i still get this:
Error
We're sorry, this page is temporarily unavailable. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please try again later.
It IS an inconvenience!! How are computer-stupid people like me supposed to know what to do in situations like this? Not everyone is fortunate enough to have their very own Ian to fix links, hahahaha.

This is the first time in about a month that I feel like I've really got some down time here at work. "Down time" meaning there's nothing I have to get out the door in the next 5 minutes. It's a pretty good feeling. :)
I know how you feel this month has been rough for me. Today is the first day this month I've been able to not work at work.
was she giving away vaseline? ok the audience is equally crazy for going insane over vaseline!!
i must give tyra credit tho for going on TV w/o make-up, thats brave for her being a super model and all.
she's out of control (which is my saying of the moment) but next top model is a great idea for a show
i saw this like 2 years ago and finally found a clip of it. really funny
haha this is hilarious
i don't know if i can dumb this down any more...
do you take the tiny bus to stupid town?
Does anyone read cosmo? They have a small feature where they print a reader's story about something they did and other readers react and say whether it was catty or not, based on a scale of one to three "paws"
My story:
We're out to dinner with a couple people sunday and one girl asks me if we'd gone to a Social D show the night before. I said no, I thought going to hear a special talk at the hall was more important. She looked down and didn't respond.
How many paws would you give me?
at the time, i'd say 1 paw. but now that you're coming on here and asking about it, 3 paws.
D you just got Paw-wned
HAHHAHAHA
What? I'm not proud, I just wanted validation. gameboy.
:P nbl
id laugh at you if you ever did this to me...
then laugh again that you live in PA....
ITS SAKI BOMB FRIDAY! c'mon peeps....chat, help me make my day fly.
Goodbye, my dear, dear friends. I am off on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship-- Explorer of the Seas! I'll be visiting St. Marten, St. Thomas, Puerto Rico and Labadee, Haiti. See you all in 9!

so in addition to being a photographer i'm also a professional dog walker starting this week! extra money for the winter - slow wedding season - doing something i love, so why not
and i walked these two really cute terriers this week and today was the last time and i'm not gonna see them again for a while, and i'm gonna miss them :(
i really want a dog now hehe
Did anyone hear about some woman, I guess it was local anyway she was drunk and driving and she hit a man so hard his body broke apart. Then later when they found her she was walking the street naked. It's so bizare but, naturally unfortunate for the poor guy and his family. It's in the news but, I haven't heard the official report.

There 177 Brian Valentines in the US. Wow. I want to meet one.
http://ww2.howmanyofme.com/
i'm a unique butterfly!

however my maiden name there's about 500 peopel in the US, cool
Dan - 1.5 million people
Hall - about 600,000 people
Gee, big surprise...
Zero / 630
Zero with my spelling but 3,000 with the proper spelling.
whats the proper spelling?
Livia it's Roman and means something pertaining to either olive or olive tree...a varitation on Olivia.
Oh here http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Livia I knew I'd screw it up LOL!!!
*Also see Alex Clemente on how it was the name of this emperor's wife, savy but, ruthless =P
julia- 334,000
porrino- oddly none and that's why i know this is lying because my dad technically has 11 brothers and sisters. and all my cousins and such obviously have this last name. so how could it be that i'm the only one?
they all must be illegal immigrants
There are 0 people with Jahanna, 720 with Duchaine, and 0 with my maiden name.
Only 15,868 people in the U.S with my anglised last name, 0 with the original last name, only 49,495 with the spelling of my common first name.
Oh and only 3 people with my same full name in the U.S.A.
there's 2,777 Daniel Hill's. Ridiculous. I think I win for most common name.
a lot of my name too...
1,008 matthew kelly's
i feel so very small and insignificant
But your doing such an important work.. PR, Public Relations!!
So we might get another dog....this weekend. But very unexpectedly. My boss's friend is getting rid of her 2 year old mini dachshund, because she has 2 big dogs, and doesn't really want the little one. She was gonna take him to the pound, but my boss took the dog so it wouldn't get killed, hoping to find a home for it. No one wants it so far.....but WE MIGHT!!! I have to convince Adam to let me have it....SO CUTE!!
WE'RE GETTING THE DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
woohoo!!!
I know!! Now it's not gonna die!!!!!
pretty sad that they wanted to just get rid of the dog... kind lame actually
Yeah, I know....how do you have a dog for TWO YEARS, and then just decide you don't want it?
He's SOOOOO CUTE!!!!
yeah, seriously, people make me sick
animal shelters are FULL of dogs around that age, 2-3 years.. people just get tired of taking care of them or maybe they didn't realize how big the dog would be or how much work
why don't people think before they take a pet into their home
just because they're not human doesn't mean they're disposable, geez
i hate people sometimes, i really do
i know! i hate people sometimes too...
i can't even think about the fact that my dog will die in 10-12 years, it makes me so sad! i love him so much! how can you not grow so attached to your dog after 2 years...(for me after two minutes of knowing he was mine!)
it's possible all those are dogs are what's making tyler act up. jk
it's possible all those are dogs are what's making tyler act up. jk
Hahaha.....nah, it's those crazy brats in his school....heathens, I tell ya. Hahahah.
I LUV that you did this you just got so many points with me...I'm a strong believer in rescue dogs :)
Aw thanks....and yes, we HAVE THE DOG!!!!! He's a big guy...kind of timid, and VERY loving. He'll adjust nicely once my dogs quit bugging him.

So listen to part of this crazy dream I had last night:
I was at the gym and it was so stinkin crowded. And everytime I would go to get on the treadmill, a kid would lay on it and tell me that they needed 16 minutes. So I'm like, heck on this, I'll just run out side down the culdasac. So I start running and out of nowhere, Ian comes running up behind me and pulls me down and knocks me off the side of the road and laughs and runs away. ????
I had a really weird dream that my firm was representing a giant teddy bear in his divorce, and as a gift, he gave us all smaller versions of himself, that is, little teddy bears. He also gave us trays full of candy flowers, with even vases that were made of chocolate and candy. I guess it's obvious what my favorite things are. :)
i had a dream that i was captured by enemy armies and i was being hauled away, then somebody from the enemy side cut me loose and i ran and ran. then i jumped down the side of this steep hill into some pricker bushes and hid there until they were all gone
A week ago I dreamt that your car would mysteriously start by itself.
When we finally got the nerve to investigate what was going on... turns out Rachel lived in the car and she had been causing all the scandal. eh, I know so weird not like I ever see either of you =P
ha! that's so odd
Internet Explorer 7 is out

You could prolly cram in a Pancake into the Frenchtoast ala IHOP.
well i was going to make the french toast, and then um coat it in pancake batter and cook it
haha just talking about this i think i gained 10 pounds
Ok, ok I think I got stuff the french toast with cream cheese, batter with pancake batter then drop it into a deep fryer. Garnish with fresh fruit/and asprin.. offsets the heart attack. ENJOY!

anyone having issues w/ AIM??? I keep getting this error message =(
What error message? I don't seem to have any problem.
Whenever I change any part of m preferences and close out, there it is.
i think he's asking for the specific text of the error message.
Riiiight riiight, just keepin ya sharp.
This little box with the aim logo in the upper lefhand corner appears, it has a huge white lowercase letter I in a big blue circle and the text itself is in a gray shaded box it says Unknown error. Try again later
I'm like try what again later??? It applies my settings just fine.
Do you know if you're using the latest version of the AIM software? Or are you using trillian, or something like that?
It's the old fashioned one like 5. something but, I mean I just downloaded it a few weeks ago.
I was just getting an error moments ago, but now I'm signed on successfully.
oh, hmmm this is so funky. I'm signed on okay to though.
HI ROBBIE, I secretly saw you for five seconds this summer but, didn't get to say hey so...HEY!
=D
I talked to a friend of mine just before bookstudy and she was really upset.
She could hear the neighbor beating his wife, she was screaming.
I told her maybe she could've called the police anonymously hopefully putting a stop (aun solo temporarily). I felt bad to because I met the little lady, she's pretty tiny and doesn't speak english =(
I really appreciated tonights lesson about loving your mate as yourself demonstrating mutal respect and consideration (beating your wife= not loving).
On a lighter note at book study tonight I accidentally referred to myself as a wife:
Nosotras como esposas queremos estar en sujecion a nuestros esposos como cabeza de la familia, then I corrected myself and was like
No soy esposa (then the conductor was like not YET), pero esposas cristianas deben mostrar este respecto
It was definately classic Livy lol!
LOL some video ipods are preloaded with windows virus and Apple blames MS for not making a more secure OS HAHA
http://www.apple.com/support/windowsvirus/
We recently discovered that a small number - less than 1% - of the Video iPods available for purchase after September 12, 2006 left our contract manufacturer carrying the Windows RavMonE.exe virus.
best part:
As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses
I-Pods are a waste of money.
heathen!
Seriously though, what's wrong with a regular CD player? I see the coolness in having an I-Pod, but I would never waste hundreds on one. Maybe if it's like 50 bucks.
15 songs on a cd vs 240 songs on a $79 ipod shuffle?
i don't see how you can compare the two
They're $79? I thought they were like $300 or some insane price like that? Doesn't matter anyway. I don't have a computer at home to download songs onto it.
yeah they're a bunch of models. $79 to $350. you can get refurbs for even cheaper, too
and no computer at home would pose a pretty big problem :P
I don't have time for these gadgets anyway. Haha...
apple interface is terrible, so i went creative zen, i love this thing, every creative mp3 product seems to work great
my iPod broke, and i miss it every single day. seriously, i loved that thing.
it was free though, and i'm too cheap to go out and buy a new one. they're so much money.
yeah i'm so happy i got one for free. i have over 5000 songs on it and i want MORE!!!!!
I heard they're only like $79
I'm getting a membership at the Gold's gym in Mansfield on Friday. If any of you girly men who go there want to work out with a buff guy like myself and learn a few things. Step up to the plate! Hahaha...
(Here come the gay man responses)
speaking of gay men, you need to take supastar with you. LOL
Yeah he's getting pretty plump. I had to see him topless in a hot tub...blah....Hahaha.... I was not in it of course. 2 other gay men were in it with him.
I don't know why I'm laughing at this, poor Mike.

Lost In Translation star Scarlett Johansson has signed a deal to make her first record, Scarlett Sings Tom Waits...According to Fox News, the 21-year-old is recording a whole album of songs by premier singer/songwriter Waits. Sources says the eventual release date will be coordinated to coincide with Johansson's movie schedule.

Tom Waits is one of my favourite artists. I'll have to give her a listen.

Anyone remember this amazing moment in music history?
BEST. SONG. EVER.
Saw Flogging Molly last night.
Good stuff.
awesome band
Yeah! Stupid crowd.
MINI STORY
So this morning I was working.
After a while I started hearing whispering around the corner from my desk.
When I looked up I saw my boss with my co-worker in the isle.
So my co-worker was... let's just say the FULL MOON was high.
I totally shrugged it off like, "I just hallucinated just mind your business Livy."
Come to find out my poor friend had bent over to get something and ripped her pants from the crotch backwards introducing "herself" to most of the office.
The worst part is that she said she didn't know what had happened until she stood up and "Felt a slight draft"
=(
haha, i hope she had on clean underwear
Very little 'underthere' LOL!!! Fortunately, she had a sweater to tie around I had rushed to offer my jacket. She was such a good sport.
The two of us laughed through most of lunch.
was she wearing a diaper?
I have a pic of you wearing one. How much to keep it off this site? LOL!
I like the aggressive use of quotes
so does anyone watch the show Heroes?
it's pretty good
i dvr'd the very first episode but i jsut didnt get it so i just didnt have the attn span for it.
I did the same thing! Lately I can't watch any of the shows I DVR. even the short ones. I just can't sit through the whole thing.
Ants in your pants, butt in a sling, what's next LOL
Heroes is one of the few shows I watch now. Every episode delivers!
Last night's ending was AWESOME.
yeah i think it is the new Lost
haha
i don't really watch that many shows "regularly" but this one is on my list now
last night's epi - the ending!! HOLY!!
Yeah, that ending was a shocker... It looks like Hiro keeps surprising each episode with his powers... I wonder what happends next week...
so im having the most awkward morning ever...im rushing in to the office cause my coffee cup was burning so i'm rushing through to get to the breakroom. i reach the breakroom open the door and rush in not realizing there was someone getting ready to walk out. it was our new security guard who's short and ran face first into my chest...YES HES THAT SHORT or im jsut too tall. anyway i wanted to laugh cause of his expression but i jsut muttered and "im so sorry" and he said "um...yeah..." and then walked out. LOL so awkwardly funny
lol.
that's great.
you should go to oki-dog's
oki-dogs??
ya, it's in LA, duh.
hmm, no reaction. I was just jokin, gg. Luv ya!
It IS in LA, though. Fat Mike goes to Oki-dogs.
im sorry i jsut got back to my desk. i looked it up...i've seen the place that has em but i've never had the pleasure. i'm not a BIG hot dog person BUT there's one place in LA that has the best ones! its in this old train car...i think we passed it when we were walking down sunset, remember it?
Did you guys hear...CBGB's is closing. :(
hmm, okay that's what the one article said, but on the official page, it sounds like it's just temporarily closing...hmm
it's been closing for forever now. there was a write-up in rolling stone not too long ago about it also. they owe so much money it's just impossible for them to pay it back now.
get this guys, mike had never heard of CBGB's until today!!! how funny is that for someone who claims to know all that is punk.
even our 50 year old lady indian boss had heard of it!!
I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU SAID! mad lame dude.
Mike considers blink 182 and new found glory punk. We've established that he's the musical taste of a 14 year old girl.
hows PA?
Half the price of NJ.
and i never claimed to know everything... just that i like punk...
Haha. How can you live anywhere remotely close to nyc and not know about cbgbs and the road at it's corner J Ramone...
I had people from new zealand visit and the first place they wanted to see was Cbgbs before it closed.. and this was 6 months ago.
NZ > Mike
why is it that vacuum cleaners just STOP WORKING after like 1-2 years of faithful service

I've been going to seminars at my real estate Board for the past several weeks. Today's was about how to handle (I mean work with) buyers. haha. Don't trust buyers!
ahh someone help me
what is the song i'm thinking of - it's a spanish/latino club song, REAL old (i guess early 90's? maybe mid-90's), really hard dance song, a guy singing, i don't really remember the words.. for some reason i think it's called something anthem.. i don't know
they played it at this past saturday's wedding and i forgot to ask the DJ and now this song is in my head and i realy need to hear it
it's like the kind of song that if you don't dance to it you've got to be paralyzed and even then you'll move your face to the beat
ha
rico suave? LOL
haha NOOO not that old
it's like a really good amazing dance song like real heavy bass, the beginning of it is like amazing like it GRABS YOU
and then a dude sings
like kind of fast singing, sort of raspy. .. i don't remember any words at all
haha
the chorus of it goes something like "lello lello lello lello"
haha YEAH
aw man i'm trying to think of it. but since i said "rico suave" that song keeps popping into my head. LOL
is the whole song in spanish?
*macarena? LOL
yes the whole song is in spanish
it is not macarena
haha
it's like a CLUB dance song
hmm Sounds like a 3 stooges lyric
YES!!! this whole time i was looking for SOMETHING anthem
i kept typing in boricua anthem
it's BORIQUA ANTHEM
YES
basically at the wedding no one was dancing for a little while.. it was pretty depressing.. and the bride was upset and the DJ kept trying different genre's to get people moving
and then i was taking a break in this side room and then i heard this song come on and I said to my assistant "dude if no one is dancing still, these peopel HAVE NO SOULS"
and i walked out and... YESSS... the dancefloor was full
haha
NO WAY i wanna hear it...i dont think i've heard it!
it's Boriqua Anthem by C&C music factory
