The Mariah Carey Glitter Fund
Just got back from a week in Baltimore helping the Eagle fly. Boring times were had. More on that later. First:
Why do I love Oklahoma so much? Fun random adventure! During some coffee shop time shortly before I went to Baltimore, my esteemed roommate met a cute little air traffic control student. (Apparently the *only* reputable air traffic control school in the US is here in OKC. I never would have guessed.) Apparently through the past week, the two of them have been seeing quite a bit of each other. Patrick was kind enough to pick me up from the airport and directly took me for some coffee with the two of them. Cherie had started making some glitter signs for her friends from Utah who were coming to visit. Her plan involved meeting these girls at the airport, screaming and waving her sign. Such good will need not be left as a voice alone. After a quick trip to the local dispensary, we had a few more sets of glitter pens and posterboards, and did it up proper. Chris Brodt's welcomed them to Okie Noodlin', mine suggested we go eat giblets, Patrick's yodeled a gleeful "Yee-Haw," and Floyd's (more on him in a moment) greeted them in the full spirit of "Okie City." We then trucked down to the airport (my second trip in 4 hours) and stood waiting for them while the monitors overhead described the status of flights as one of "In Air," "Arrived," "On Time," "Landed," and "Now at (time 10 minutes ago)." Sometimes even in that order. As we waited, I made conversation with Floyd. Turns out that as well as being a Vietnam veteran turned electrician with sleeve tattoos, he's also been a late-night Denny's waiter, an oil platform roughneck, a truck driver, a mechanic, and in lockup for something that he doesn't talk about anymore. Really cool and interesting guy. After tracking the girls down we went for an evening of drinks at the HiLo. They were appreciative of our enthusiasm. We were appreciative of their company. How equitable.
Somewhere in this crazy world, there's a great picture of all of this.
I came in here for that special offer

So do glitter pens.
"joe... john..."
"you're name's joe-john?"
and i wish a happy media day to you all (in my religion this would be similar to a bake sale that the pope decrees that all catholics are to observe and participate).
Next mission is to buy a second hard drive and run a setup with linux as well, to half-assedly attempt to redeem myself. Thinking uBuntu. Thoughts?
Chris and a girl? Is that even possible? I thought god added something against that in the laws of physics just to be an ass.
Madness, Billy. It's all gone mad.
On the plus side, my SuperSoldier level has increased, and I am apparently immune to athrax, hep A, and hep C, at no cost to myself. In addition to the small pox I already got at level 5.
Give my love to the kids, and if you could, mail me a keyboard with a working "V" key that doesn't have to be pushed 80 times.
Peace Be Upon You,
Matt / Gumby
I'm starting a club:
"Ubuntu is too easy, lets play with gentoo."
-.- I'm lookin at you cBrodt.
1 orange male and 1 grey female.
i have also picked names...
the orange one is nanaki (which can mean several things in japanese such as nana-ki = "seven hope" or na-naki = "flower cry"), and the grey one is janus. those of you who know me will know why they are named as such. my next thoughts are if it is legal to tattoo animals and how hard would it be to train one to levitate. if anyone can help me with that it would be great.
if you post today, then you'll have 4 posts in 1 month!
