Jayson Blair...

He's such a joke...

I don't even know why I'm bothering to say ANYTHING about him...

If he gets a book deal... That just Won't be right!

Good poster-boy for all the up-and-coming teens / college kids - lie like a rug, play everyone, and you can do anything you want.

And consider getting rewarded for this conduct? (Financially speaking...)

UGH!!!!!!!!!! and ARRRRGH!

He deserves a big WHATEVER!

This topic makes me sick. Enough of that.

Nice Job!

It may not be Exactly what our President was looking for - it's at least a Big step in the Right direction...

Local Politics:

Gov. Rowland signed the Smoking Ban into law yesterday. At first - I was aggravated - I was not aware of its existence!! Until it was too late that is...

However, I think it's a good idea - despite the joy I had of going to a Bar, having a drink and a smoke... But, that isn't something I do regularly - and will be quitting the habit Anyway. So, until April 2004 - Smoke up everyone... "Enjoy" it while it lasts...

Side note - from a clip I heard, it actually sounds like (deep down inside) he did not agree with the legislation - but its the "Everyone Else Is Doing It" mantra that got him to do the deed.


That's all for now...

Illegal Immigration.

That just Pisses me off!

They are able to get some type of ID from the Mexican Government - then are able to get:

Bank Accounts

Driver's Licenses

and an assortment of other things.

And - some states are allowing Them to get In-State pricing for College??

Give me a break!!

This NEEDS to stop!

Thanks to Joe Scarborough for this insite...

Started a project today... This has been on my "todo list" for years....

We don't have a driveway at our place, currently it's just dirt - when we moved in, it was grass...

So, getting ready to plant some flower-seeds in the back yard, I started turning the dirt in a nice spot... Low and behold - large patio bricks...

Dug up a majority of these bricks, which apparently span the side of our back yard, I prepped this area to be re-seeded...

Took the bricks from this area and brought them to the front to make a boarder for the driveway...

So far so good..

Next step - figure out what material to fillin the area.. Then dig up the area to make it as level as possible..

Then viola - a driveway. At least I started it.
