I'm home

I finally have made my way back to the Nation's Capital. It took 10 loooong yearsto get back here and quickly getting back in the swing of things. I work out in Alexandria, and live on the Hill. So I am looking for some good locations to hang out and chill in the area. Holla back if you have any suggestions.

Oh yeah, by the way..... where did all of the eye candy go????

Gone for a Minute.. But I am back!

I know I have been gone for a minute. Well actually for over a month. I got a new position and it is keeping me quite busy and overworked. I have even went to sunny California twice! It is a really nice place to visit, but it reminds me of DC.... REALLY REALLY BUSY! Idid have the oppourtunity to visit Disneyland and see some sights like the Hollywood sign. I would have loved to take a tour of the city, but that didn't fit into the agenda that was laid out for me. I was out in the boonies next to the 60 freeway.

The city is a lot bigger then DC, but somewhere that is not in my agenda.

what a powerful kiss (lol)

As seen on News of the Weird.....

Park Hyatt hotel maid Louise Kelsey, 58, testified in August in Melbourne, Australia, that she was kissed against her will in 2001 by a hotel guest (an Uruguayan soccer player in town for a World Cup match) and suffered a post-traumatic stress disorder that led to her being declared legally blind in 2002. Though a doctor for the defense derided it as "the most powerful kiss in history," the hotel's insurer agreed to its liability in October and said it would negotiate the money amount.

Nokia to Buy Intellisync for $430 Million

(As seen on http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20051116/ap_on_hi_te/finland_nokia_intellisync_1)

HELSINKI, Finland - Nokia Corp. said Wednesday it is paying $430 million to acquire Intellisync Corp., a provider of wireless e-mail service for cellular carriers, adding to the mobile phone maker's growing arsenal of products to compete with BlackBerry.

The deal comes just two months after Nokia barged into the increasingly crowded field of BlackBerry rivals by becoming the first major handset maker to announce its own brand of mobile e-mail service — essentially becoming a rival to the U.S. company it is now acquiring.
Nokia is offering $5.25 per share in cash for each share of Intellisync, which provides mobile access to e-mail and other desktop information to about 500,000 users through wireless carriers under their own brand names.

The buyout price is below what Intellisync's shares were fetching before the deal announced, and so the stock sagged 41 cents to $5.13 in Wednesday morning's Nasdaq trading, down 7.4 percent. Nokia's U.S. shares slipped 11 cents to $16.92 on the
New York Stock Exchange.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2006.
Nokia announced in September that it was entering the mobile e-mail market with its own application, Nokia Business Center, but said the new service would join rather than replace the existing lineup of mobile e-mail and productivity options available on Nokia devices. Those include BlackBerry from Research in Motion Ltd., GoodLink from Good Technology Inc., and applications from Seven Networks Inc. and Visto Corp.

Intellisync's services are generally rebranded by carriers. For example, the product is sold as Wireless Sync by Verizon Wireless, a joint venture between Verizon Communications Inc. and Vodafone Group PLC.

Actual stupid questions asked

Actual stupid questions asked

The below excerpts appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune. They were taken from real court records.

Now doctor, isn't it true that when a person dies in his sleep, in most cases he just passes quietly away and doesn't know anything about it until the next morning?

Q: What happened then?
A: He told me, he says, "I have to kill you because you can identify me."
Q: Did he kill you?

Was it you or your brother that was killed in the war?

The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?

Q: She had three children, right?
A: Yes.
Q: How many were boys?
A: None.
Q: Were there any girls?

Were you alone or by yourself?

A: That's me.
Q: Were you present when that picture was taken?

Were you present in court this morning when you were sworn in?

So, you were gone until you returned?

You don't know what it was, and you didn't know what it looked like, but can you describe it?

Q: Have you lived in this town all your life?
A: Not yet.

A Texas attorney, realizing he was on the verge of unleashing a stupid question, interrupted himself and said, "Your Honor, I'd like to strike the next question."

Q: Do you recall approximately the time that you examined that body of Mr. Huntington at St. Mary's Hospital?
A: It was in the evening. The autopsy started about 5:30 P.M.
Q: And Mr. Huntington was dead at the time, is that correct?
A: No, you idiot, he was sitting on the table wondering why I was performing an autopsy on him!

divorce, isnt it??

(taken from News of the Weird)

Italy's highest appeals court ruled in March that a divorcing man would have to pay alimony to his ex-wife because he had refused to have sex with her for seven years as punishment for challenging him in a family argument. (Whatever point the husband was trying to make was not disclosed.)

I would like to know something:

why do women argue and fight over men online? I have read a few blogs on Yahoo and I came across one in particular where the estranged wife and the new girlfriend was 'arguing' online. The wife basically put the guy on blast and the girlfriend is calling him 'her future husband'. To me, the situation is pretty childish. I would rather see the 2 girls blasting the guy out than blasting on each other... but that is just me.

CIA Test

CIA test

Three guys are applying for job with the CIA. They got all the way to the final test. So the first guy walks into the directors office and sits down. The director reaches in his desk and pulls out a pistol. Lays it on his desk in front of the guy. Tells him, "This test is to test your loyalty. Take this gun and go up the stairs and go into the first room on your right. Your wife will be in there. Put a bullet in her head." The guy looks at him and says,"no way." So the director says, "You fail."

The next guy comes in. The director tells him the same thing. Guy picks up the gun and head for the room. Comes back about 15 minutes later. Tells the director that he just couldn`t go through with it. The director says, "you fail."

So now the third guy comes in, same scene. Guy heads up to the room. The director hears 3 shots, followed by a whole lot of ruckus (glass breaking, furniture getting smashed). Guy comes back in all beat up and his clothes tore up. The director goes, "What happened to you?" Guy replies, "After three shots I realized that there were blanks in the gun so I had to choke her to death."

Student Insults

Student Insults

It's impossible to believe that the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others.

The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead.

If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week.

The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.

When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell.

The student has a "full six-pack" but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together.

Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them.

Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot.

I would not allow this student to breed.

Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig.

Another funny - Its Dark

A woman takes a lover during the day, while her husband is at work. Not knowing that her 9-year-old son is hiding in the closet, her husband comes home unexpectedly, so she puts the lover in the closet with the little boy.
The little boy says, "Dark in here."
The man says, "Yes it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball."
Man - "That's nice."
Boy - "Want to buy it?"
Man - "No, thanks."
Boy - "My dad's outside."
Man - "OK, how much?"
Boy - "$250."

In the next few weeks, it happens again that the boy and the mom's lover are in the closet together.
Boy - "Dark in here."
Man - "Yes, it is."
Boy - "I have a baseball glove."
The lover, remembering the last time, asks the boy, "How much?"
Boy - "$750."
Man - "Fine."

A few days later, the father says to the boy, "Grab your glove. Let's go outside and toss the baseball back and forth."
The boy says, "I can't. I sold them."

The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"
The son says "$1,000."
The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your friends like that. That is way more than those two things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make you confess."They go to the church and the father makes the little boy sit in theconfessional booth and he closes the door.

The boy says, "Dark in here."
The priest says, "Don't start that s... again."

Funny Joke

A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway. Nothing is moving.

Suddenly a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down his window and asks, "What happened?""Terrorists kidnapped President Bush and are asking for a $10 million ransom. Otherwise they are going to douse him with gasoline and set him on fire. We are going from car to car to take up a collection."

The driver asks, "How much is everyone giving on average?"

"About a gallon."

Since this is the time of year for ghouls and goblins, i thought that I get everyone into the spirit of things and tell you about some famous hauntings

The REAL Ghosts in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion
by catmz@theshadowlands.net

Hundreds of people visit the Haunted Mansion in Disneyland every day. In fact, it holds a record for being the most visited Dark ride and Disney Imagineers worked hard using old magician tricks to create these illusions. What they may not have known was that there are now several real ghosts haunting the place.

In the early 1950s Walt Disney and one of his top Imagineers Ken Anderson began working on the idea of a walk through haunted house. The inspiration came from a Disney cartoon about the Headless Horseman. The visitor was to enter a New England style house and follow the story through the attraction until it reached a climax in a graveyard scene.

Anyone who has visited the attraction knows that ideas changed and Disney and Anderson developed a New Orleans style house that the visitor rides through on a "Doombuggy". It does, however, retain the graveyard scene form the original plans.

Construction of the building was put on hold in 1962, but halted in 1966 when Walt Disney died. The designers were in a quandary as Walt had not finished the planning. For a few years the public could see the frame of the building poking over the construction fence. Urban legends surfaced about how the ride was being re-designed because it was so scary that it supposedly caused a man to have a heart attack. The attraction finially opened in 1969.

While the building was built on property that had no previous construction on it, it did manage to attract someone who had died nearby. In the 1940s a man who had been piloting a small plane crashed in a lake near where the park was to be built later. His ghost has settled into the Haunted Mansion. Referred to by Cast Members (employees) as "the man with the cane" he is often seen late at night, especially after closing.

"The man in a tuxedo" is another spirit, though no one really knows who he is. One day an employee was working in the area where passengers disembark. There is a mirror there, so the attendant can see when the riders come up behind her. She kept seeing a shadow in the mirror, and when she turned around no one was there. The figure seemed to be wearing a tuxedo. Then, she felt a chill and a hand placed on her shoulder. Of course, she turned to find no one there. The woman ran out of the Haunted Mansion and soon quit her job.

There is a legend concerning a woman who wanted to scatter her young son's ashes inside the Haunted Mansion, but was forbidden by Disney officials. She snuck the ashes inside and covertly scattered them. Apparently, this was NOT her son's last wish as since she did that people have sometimes seen the apparition of a crying boy sitting near the exit. Though there have been many stories circulated, one person ever actually died in the Haunted Mansion. Each year Disneyland sponsors "Grad Night", which is for high school seniors. Two teenage boys were riding along in a Doombuggy when one of them decided that he wanted to see the room called "Séance Circle" up close. The young man stepped out on to the black painted walkway that was next to the tracks. What he did not realize was that there was a gap between the walkway and the platform on which the display sat. He stepped off the walkway and plunged fifteen feet to the floor, breaking his neck. "Séance Circle" has been odd since the beginning. A sound designer was setting up equipment in the area before the attraction was open to the public. He kept hearing music coming from behind one of the new walls. He surmised that a radio had been walled up accidentally. After several days the music had never ended and no radio announcer ever came on. The man could never find the source of the sound, so he arranged for a speaker to go in the area and drown it out. There have been many legends associated with the Haunted mansion. If you ever visit, keep your eyes open. You may just spot a real ghost!

Drama University

In the midst of my daydreaming, I thought about this. How about starting a DramaUniversity. This would be a location where everybody have drama in their life come and discuss their matters with peers that have been through the same experience. Like for instance, if you have the crazy, deranged boyfriend that like stalking you, then come to Drama University and talk to one of our counselors that have benn in your position. Then they can allow you to come up with a plan that will get you out of your drama situation (without maiming or killing the counterpart of course).

I even thought of a catch phrase:
Drama University, where you can put your mind at ease and your Drama to rest!

Let me know what yall think.... just something else that makes you go hmmm

Friends that diss you

why do peple that treat you like mud but still wants to still be your friend?

I mean, he/she used you up like a wet food stamp and toss you away like garbage, and expect for you to forget what they have done to you and act like nothing ever happened. I know that the good book teach each other to forgive, but you certainly will not forget what they have dont to you.

How did handle the situation??

What would you do???

what would you do in this situation??

you are friends with a another person who is married. you two can basically talk about anything under the sun and respect each others' relationship. Then one night, it happens. the both of you were weak and you had sex. to you, it was a one-time thing that you regret. however, your friend sees it as an eye-opening experience and asks you if this can continue. Do you continue with the relationship? Do you walk away from the relationship and friendship entirely? Or do you try to salvage your relationship without the sex?

A Cold Heart

I sit here all alone with a cold heart
looking for a way to ease the pain
I know I did nothing wrong but be faithful
but instead you treated me so cold
as if I was a motherless child
I sacrificed tremendously to give you the world
Only for you to use me as a walking doormat.

I made sure that food was on the table
your clothes clean, pressed and ready to wear
even going as far as doing your college papers
so that you can make a passing grade
When I wanted to advance my education
You turned the other cheek
looking for any excuse for me to fail
Yet keeping up the facade in front of my family and friends
to make it appear that you gave a damn

I have to give it to you
You have the gift of gab
Now I see clearly now, the haze is gone
I see a little boy that wants to be like everyone
but not himself

He always said the phrase
"I made you, I created you, I can destroy you"
Well the shoe is on the other foot
I made you a miserable fool
I created you into a beggar
and as I take each step away from you, I am destroying your very existence in my life

Go live within your misery, lies, and greed
I passed my survival test, I dont need you anymore
But don't ever forget the one woman that destroyed your chance of being a man

What Kind of Sex do you have????

SOCIAL SECURITY SEX
Two men were talking. "So, how's your sex life?" "Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex." "Social Security sex?" "Yeah, you know: I get a little each month, but not enough to live on!"


LOUD SEX
A wife went in to see a therapist and said, "I've got a big problem, doctor. Every time we're in bed and my husband climaxes, he lets out this ear splitting yell." "My dear," the shrink said, "that's completely natural. I don't see what the problem is." "The problem is," she complained, "It wakes me up!"


QUIET SEX
Tired of a listless sex life, the man came right out and asked his wife during a recent lovemaking session, "How come you never tell me when you have an orgasm?" She glanced at him casually and replied, "You're never home!"


CONFOUNDED SEX
A man was in a terrible accident, and his "manhood" was mangled and torn from his body. His doctor assured him that modern medicine could give him back his manhood, but that his insurance wouldn't cover the surgery, since it was considered cosmetic. The doctor said the cost would be $3,500 for "small, $6,500 for "medium, $14,000 for "large." The man was sure he would want a medium or large, but the doctor urged him to talk it over with his wife before he made any decision. The man called his wife on the phone and explained their options. The doctor came back into the room, and found the man looking dejected. "Well, what have the two of you decided?" asked the doctor. The man answered, "She'd rather remodel the kitchen".


WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SEX
A husband and his wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary. The husband yells, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads: 'Here Lies My Wife - Cold As Ever'." "Yeah," she replies, "When you die, I'm getting you a headstone reads: 'Here Lies My Husband - Stiff At Last.'"


WOMEN'S HUMOR
Nora's husband came home with a tube of KY jelly and said, "This will make you happy tonight." He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, she squirted it all over the doorknobs and he couldn't get back in.


A couple is lying in bed. The man says, "I am going to make you the happiest woman in the world." The woman says..... "I'll miss you."
