oh how long it has been
Hello everyone, Danny-Boy here
I disappeared for awhile, and return with a new look on life, a lot of things behind me, and even more in the future. The days have gone by like so many a crashing wave. I find myself sitting here, pondering past present and future and realizing all have been a blur that when miixed properly make the drunkest motha-f'er you've ever seen walk the halls at 4am wth there shoes untied and their pants falling down with drool falling on the floor and and and..... uhmm, what?
nevermind
I'm still here, and that's what counts. My life has become very extravagant, as well it should. My friends are strong my ties are deep, there are so many I want to thank!
But there is only one.

grossest thing tonight After eating a nice lil Midnight snack I walked swiftly into my kitchen. When I reached the sink I felt something squish under my foot. I looked down to see (hopefully) a cooked vegetable that may have missed the trash or some other food. But no, it was a slug. A grimmy, slick, hunk of mobile snot. I'm so grossed out right now, I'm just tryin not to lose my sandwich. What's worse is that I cut the little bugger in half with my toe, I stepped so hard. Both peices of it are still moving. I think I'm gonna hurl. Current Mood:  sickCurrent Music: Outkast ft Jay Z - Flip Flop Rock | | Monday, June 14th, 2004 | | 5:58 pm |

Happiness in Resolution Well, a cease fire has been called. And I for one couldn't be happier. All the hurtful words that were spilled back and forth will now be a memory and not a precursur for things to come. One day I may go into further detail about all of this, but not probably until I'm some hollywood writer for a sitcom or something. This is prize winning material. I am just happy right now.

My grandpa died last tuesday, this is what I'll read at his funeral Monday
To describe Edward Niland, first of all, you need a thesaurus. Secondly, you need to know the man, not just his actions, but also his character. What I will always remember about my grandfather will be walking through his doorway with more strange hairstyles and wacky ensembles than anyone, and how he always greeted me with a smile and an attitude of, “To each his own”. That was definitely a motto of his. He had an outlook on life that said, “Treat people not by their actions, but by the content of their character”.
He told me many times the story of once, while working at the Bacardo law firm, an investigator who worked for them called him up on a Saturday at 10 o’clock at night drunk as a skunk. The man will remain anonymous, mostly because I forgot his name. That was another thing about my grandpa; he remembered more names than anyone I know. He was sharp as a tack up to the very end.
The investigator said to my grandpa, “Ed, listen, I’m down at the bowling alley and I can’t find my car. Can you come pick me up?”
My grandpa asked, “Well… maybe, which bowling alley?”
The guy paused for a minute, he didn’t know, but said, "Come on Ed, you know ‘em all, come get me will ya?”
Ed then said, “listen, here’s what you should do, you should go find a motel and check in for the night. In the morning I’m sure you’ll remember where you parked your car.”
“Yeah you’re right Ed, thanks, good idea” He replied.
My grandpa added, “And I bet you on Monday, when I see you in the office, you won’t remember this little conversation at all.” They both chuckled and hung up the phone.
The next Monday at work grandpa saw the guy and went to talk to him.
“Hey there Joe”
“Hi, Ed”
It was obvious there was no recollection of the preceding Saturday.
“Do you remember calling me Saturday night?”
A vague glimmer comes into his eye, “Yeah, I do”
“Do you remember what about?”
“Yeah, I wanted you to come bowling with me!”
My grand pa just chuckled and said, “Not exactly” and left it at that.
Over the last year I’ve had the great opportunity to live with my grandparents, and assist them, and in turn they helped me in more ways than one. I can honestly say that my life is richer because of the time I was able to spend with my Grandfather. The last thing he said to me was not exactly profound, but it fit with his nature. I had just shaved my head, on a whim, and I walked in and he looked at me, gave a little chuckle and he said to me, “I like your haircut.”
I will cherish the time we spent together always and know that I am a stronger, wiser, man for knowing him | | Friday, January 9th, 2004 | | 4:19 pm |

Hey there Kiddies! If you're bored and looking for something half way interesting to look at for awhile, check out www.japander.com It's got clips of a whole bunch of different TV and Film stars starring in japanese comercials of various natures. I got nothin new to report right now... well... nothing I want the world to know... :) Current Mood: amused | | Saturday, November 8th, 2003 | | 5:08 pm |
Two hookers and an 8-BALL I love the excitement I get from accomplishment. I just got off the phone to organize rides to a Mindless Sel Indulgence show this monday. I had no cars going at 4pm... now I've got four! I need to be in Hollywood bartaring deals between big wigs. I got what I needed and I'm gonna get even more, because I've got a great group of great friends going to see two great bands play. There's nothing more excitng for me. Two months ago I was making plans to fly to New York, by myself, to see three shows of MSI. That would be a great time. I would have fun, I know, but I wouldn't have my friends, those who've been by my side through thick and thin for going on 6 years with me. This monday will be great. I can't wait! Maybe I'll get pee'd on! Current Mood: satisfiedCurrent Music: Mindless Self Indulgence - 18 - 2 Hookers And An 8-Ball | | Tuesday, October 28th, 2003 | | 12:34 am |
The second time I've gotten a notice from the "great" people at Steam. I've already done what they've asked at their web-site... still they persist Dear Steam user, This is an automated message generated by Steam account administration. Steam has detected that your copy of Half-Life Platinum Pack has already been registered to another Steam user. Your product's CD-Key (the number printed on the CD case which you were asked to type in after installing the game) matches one already in our database. The CD-Key you entered is: 3598579027068 You will not be able to play Half-Life Platinum Pack unless you provide an unclaimed CD-Key. To provide an unclaimed CD-Key, you will need a copy of Half-Life Platinum Pack which has not already been registered on Steam. Double-click on the name of the game in Steam's "Games" window and then follow the given instructions. For further help or product support, please visit http://www.steampowered.com Signed, The Steam Support Team To contact us, email support@steampowered.com My letter to them I'm sorry... But you guys gotta GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. This is the second time you've contacted me to tell me that you're all a bunch of no brains programmers, or whatever the fuck you all are. I own my damn cd key. It's fucking MINE. YOU guys made an update that WAS TOO FUCKING HUGE!!! You didn't think that there was a possibility that someone out in the world used their computer for something OTHER THAN VIDEO GAMES. I don't have the space for both C.S. 1.0, which I bought AND your mutha fuckin STEAM. I had to pinch and pull my hard drive to fit your shit, but i did it and I didn't like it. But you guys made too good of an update, so I went back to it after awhile, even though there's a HUGE problem with no good hackers fucking with the game so that they play like gods and everyone else is just a duck waiting to get punked. If I get another "automated email" telling me how much of a dick wad you all are, then I'll be forced to go out and buy a damned CHESS board and play in the gawd damned park with all the crack pipe hittin freaks and former MIT professors, and y'all will never see another fucking PENNY of my money. I bought your damned platinum pack two years ago... lost everything but my copy of opposing forces, which is useless without first installing half-life, which was fucking stolen, along with cs and the other game. I bought Blue Shift thinking it would let me play CS, boy was I disappointed. I went and bought CS... again... I've now spent 49.99 on the whole package, 14.99 for blue shift. and 19.99 for CS... the least you can do is get off your lazy asses and make it so I don't get any damned emails saying "the code you're using is stolen you little fuck, eat shit and die if you think we'll let you play this damned crappy game" Sincerely, Dan Do you think I sound a little too pissed off?

Dude!!! I'm SOO Letterman!  STAND UP: You are a natural stand-up comedian. You watch the news with people, and when you give your opinions, people start laughing. They are not laughing at you, they are laughing because what you say is so TRUE. The world is a very funny place, full of natural comedy. All you do is repeat various humorous things that you notice from everyday life. Your unique perspective on the world is what makes you so funny. Of all the various comedy types, you may be the funniest of them all! brought to you by Quizilla</font> Current Mood: sick... stillCurrent Music: White Town - Your Woman | | Monday, October 20th, 2003 | | 11:12 pm |
Should I be paraniod? So, while on the realmedia webiste that executes out of the program itself, i stumble upon a website... the site, http://elliottw.mit.edu/ has nothing but mp3 files in folders... it's strange that I came upon this site... stranger that I came upon it using real media... I encourage you to visit it, if only to add a song or two to your collection. There's not a whole lot by Kazaa standards, but enought to wet your whistle... Should I be paranoid though? They can track ip addresses... can't they? They could totally know who I am and what I'm doing.... who are these fuckers? I've got a cool new shirt... it say "Sharing is Caring FUCK the RIAA" record industry artists assoiciation or some such shit. Blah blah blah... I think I've got a temperature... I'm sick... and ill... and I don't feel good. Peace out kids Current Mood: sickCurrent Music: Dr.Dre ft. Eminem - Forgot About Timmy (Southpark Remix) |
