Inconceivable!
Wednesday, January 07, 2004
For the second time in as many days, I am posting something on the site. Inconceivable!
Anyway, Julie’s Aunt or Uncle from Kenya passed around a survey through the email. Rather than clog everyone’s email servers with more stuff, I thought I’d just post it here.
P.S. I hope you all realize that this is a cumulative effort, so now I don’t have to post anything here for 6 months. Mwah hah hah hah <devilish laugh>.

Hypocrisy
Tuesday, January 06, 2004
My little brother, love him as I do for being the only one who reads this silly page, is, nonetheless, a hypocrite.
I think Jesus said something about hypocrites burning in hell with their hypocritical ways. Well, he didn’t use the phrase “Burn in Hell...” but we can read between the lines.
Allow me to quote from an email I received this morning: “Hey don't you think it's about time you updated again? You're approaching 3 months.”
Anybody want to guess how long it has been since he updated his? His page doesn’t even exist anymore. I think the internet police saw how stale and crappy his old content was, and said “Take him out.”
That’s all I'm going to say about that. Happy Andrew?

Other Happy News

Anna has 7 teeth now and likes to furniture walk. James’s favorite pastime is (still) watching “woovies.” Julie has taken up sewing and preparing food storage. And finally, I have graduated somewhat officially (still waiting on the diploma) from college. If you know of anyone who needs a highly skilled manager/supervisor/information systems type with a background in accounting/auditing/geekiness, I'm willing to consider changing occupations. Let me know.
