Checking in

Seeing as it is the first official day off for me for Christmas Break, I thought I would check in to the site to see what's new. Doesn't seem to have changed that much, although there are a lot of new members.

I think the last time I posted was sometime before Halloween, and then that fucking election threw me into a deep depression that I have yet to spring back from. The administration at my school has hit us teachers with a massive new "portfolio" staff-development system, which has occupied much of my time, and the school that my child is attending this year has, I just discovered, been holding prayers in the classroom. It's pretty fucking crazy when you're an atheist family and one day your 5 year old sits down to dinner and blesses the food before launching into a chorus of "Jesus, the Glorious Counsellor". Suffice it to say, I had a few words with her teacher and principal; but, this looks like one of those instances where I may have to contact the ACLU. Her teacher accused me of not informing her of my religious orientation at the start of the year. I replied: "I'm sorry, but I didn't think it would have been necessary, since what you're doing is illegal. That's like a burglar getting upset with me because I didn't inform him that I was going to be home." She didn't see it my way, naturally.

Halloween went off pretty good. We went to Tennessee to spend it with my sister and her family, and my kid racked up on the candy: two Wal-Mart bags and a plastic pumpkin full.

As far as Christmas goes, I'm really looking forward to it. It is getting to be a greater and greater challenge for me to guess all of the gifts I am going to receive. It drives my wife crazy that I somehow manage to figure out most of what I'm getting before Christmas morning. I believe I will be getting a new computer, which will be great ... I have been dying to play Doom 3.

The only decent horror flick I have seen since I last posted was Shaun of the Dead. The wife constantly brings home the new releases from her store, and Shaun has been the only one worthwhile. I even watched Ju-on, The Grudge ... and thought it stunk. What can I say. It didn't fucking go anywhere! Some ghosts haunt a house and kill some people. The end. There is barely a plot at all.

I saw Saw at the theaters and was greatly disappointed. Not nearly as grisly or disturbing as the ads made it out to be. Give me Se7en anyday.

Woah, shit!!

Sorry. Huge dog just ran past my office window.

Hay Stingy nice to see you pay us a visit. I really miss the debates. I don't like to gloat but I said W would win. But at least you'll have Hiliary to vote for in "08"!

As you know I respect your opinion(s) and laud you for sticking to your guns for what you believe in, re: relgious beliefs. I do have a question though. As a self proclaimed Atheist why do you refer to the upcoming holiday as "Christmas"? Secularist's usually prefer not to use that word.

I think it's great you do, and let me be the first to say Merry Christmas to you, and your family.

LMAO @ Urgeok and Newb:D :D :D


Okay...I do not own ONE curler, and I'd bet that I don't have enough hair now, to put one in...lol

I'd kill anyone who tried to come NEAR me with a 'bunny slipper'...

You were pretty close on the pajamas though...When I go to sleep, I always wear a black t-shirt with cotton pajama bottoms (usually black and red)...Unless it's too hot upstairs...Then it's a black t-shirt with black panties...

Soap Operas?!...OMFG!!!.....DRAMA!!!...Chick Shit!!!...No, Thank you.....I don't even watch television:rolleyes:

And I wear my boots whenever I damn well please, 'cuz they're just that fuckin' cool:cool:





BTW...What the hell IS a 'bon bon' anyway?:confused:

I DID just eat a chocolate Moon Pie:D

Now YOU want one, dontcha?:p
