14 Years.. where did it go?

So far gone, yet so little done…

Farther behind yet further ahead…

Sometimes I just wanna hang in my bed.

Sure wish I was at Gnomedex chillin with my ex-patriot homies instead of living into some bullshit in miserable Clearwater!

Maybe I just need some connectivity… or sompin..

Okay, I’ve been away from home too long! It’s HOT here in Clearwater.. and it’s HUMID.. and I’m ready to come home now! OY!

Meanwhile Justin and Mike are having more fun than me at Gnomedex! WHAAAAAAAAAA!

Okay I’ll stop whining now and go kick Mickey in the nutz..

But I’ll know when I’ll be back! See ya’ll soon! I gonna get me some mommy time, some mickey time and some gramma time!

Who can complain about that?

WOW!

I’m watching this CNN interview with Pat Robertson. He’s “publically prayed” for the Supreme court justices (who don’t happen to agree with his EXTREME RIGHT WING nonsense) to be forced by GOD to retire.. (The prayer implies a wish for death)..

Ummm, I think it’s time for DARWIN to come force Pat Robertson to retire! That man needs to be DONE!

Let’s say this to be clear: Americans have an ABSOLUTE RIGHT to their religion, beliefs and way that they live their lives. They do NOT have ANY RIGHT to dictate the lives of others.

The extremists should be shot! (yes, I see the irony in that statement.. grin).

Okay.. I’ve gotten my 2,000th (SLIGHT exagerration of course, or maybe not) “Enlarge your penis” spam.

Just what makes them think I need a larger penis? I’m perfectly happy with mine, and I’ve certainly had no complaints so far!

We could mix that with the couple thousand “Generic Viagra” spams, and I’d end up with this monster “Incredible Hulk” penis that’s large and always at attention. Just what USE is that to ANYONE for more than 5 minutes?

I mean, if I were looking at some monstrous huge penis, I’d be thinking; “I don’t know nothin about birthin no babies!” or “You want to put that WHERE?!”.

Okay, enough penis crap. Here’s random ramblings of a silly man…

My mother had her knee surgery today.. and it ALL went GREAT! YAY!. I’ll be seeing her in a few days. I can’t wait. I love that woman so much. I wish I hadn’t been such a schmuck in my earlier years. I missed so much of her. Thank GOD that I got a second chance. Then I’m gonna see my gramma in St. Pete. I have ALWAYS loved my gramma. She’s not “all there” now, but I’m going to see her anyways.

Life is so full of changes. It’s so full of decisions. It’s so full of possibilities. We don’t get too many second chances (my MOM is an exception ’cause ALL moms ALWAYS love their kids even if their kids fuck up). Maybe we shouldn’t get second chances. But damnit I’d like a few more.. (grin).

I am so fortunate to be surrounded by so many intelligent, dedicated, loving, loyal friends, etc. blah blah blah.. I wish I could just say the Lord’s prayer.. Ya know.. the Serenity one.. And have it ALL fall into place without me having to make the hard decisions that make it hard to sleep..

I would say that life sucks. But it doesn’t really. It’s just HARD. No one gave me a warranty when I was born that said that the “hard stuff” would be under warranty and be taken care of for me.. So I just gotta get over it and get on..

That said; BUCK UP BUTTERCUP & ROCK ON!

OY! I’m about to go to my 20th High School Reunion in Florida where I get to see how all the “people who beat me up” (and their girlfriends who I knew even better) ended up! Wish me luck! I bet THEY never heard of a website! (the REAL(tm) fun will come when they meet Randy)..

God damnit, I am SO melodramatic.. Somebody shoot me!

Don’t you just hate spammers? Someone is using my domain as a “return address”. NORMALLY, most “anti-spam” tools will ignore FORGED addresses, but instead pay attention to the IP ADDRESS.

But I’m getting oodles of complaints about this spam, from people who are DAMNED DAMNED SURE that I’m sending them spam. It’s not their fault they are idiots..

Here’s a header lesson for you idiots!

When you see a header like this in a spam you receive

Received: from [210.117.168.93] by AmBell

It’s the 210.177.168.93 part you want to pay attention to. NOT the From address. The FROM ADDRESS is ALWAYS WRONG! It’s ALWAYS FORGED.

Next lesson:

See that part in BOLD? That’s the part where you get to find out if luftmensch.com REALLY sent you spam. Check the IP (which is NOT forged) and see who owns that.

Send your vitriol to THEM, NOT ME!

I get over 400 SPAMS per DAY… I don’t need you to forward me YOURS when you can’t even take the care to check the headers or ask someone with some clue before you start sending me emails threatening to do something to me.

See, ya gotta be careful, cause when you hit the wrong target, sometimes you can pull back a stump.
