Survival Of The Fittest

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.
Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.
Occasionally I will get a mutation, a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.
When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M, the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to M&M Mars, A Division of Mars, Inc., Hackettstown, NJ 17840-1503 U.S.A., along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."
This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money." I have set aside the weekend for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.
There can be only one.

Hey everybody. Thankyou sooo much for all your calls. We're doing fine and we're in no immediate danger, but are deffinatley wary because it's so close. How the winds flow in the area, I believe we won't have to worry about it. So, in the mean time I took some pictures when I finally got home last night.
To view my current set of photos for this fire, click the picture!
Love to you all!!
Also, here's a map of the approximate are that's burning and where my house is...

You know what I just realized?
I get paid to wait..I wait while i run spy-ware scans, I wait while I install software.. I wait while I install OS's.. If i have to travel from one place to the next, I wait in traffic...
Isn't that nifty?

What a perfect waste of a day! Not that I'm complaining... Got up at the butt-crack of noon, sat around, read, got a shower then sat around some more.. Chatted on aim, got some peanut-butter toast, and sat some more. Then i got up, watched some tv, and then went and helped my dad get some information on the electrical system at church. Now I'm back wondering what's for dinner.

So there I was. Driving on the 101. You know how it is those early week day mornings.. Fast for a while, then slow FOR FUCKING EVER. Well I had just come from one of those nice spurts of quick moving traffic, when as usual, there was a large mass of slow moving cars. Me being the last car to come up to this group ahead of a group about a half mile behind me, I turn on my hazards as a safety precaution. Apparently that wasn't enough.
So, typically, I don't spend a whole ton of time glued to my rear-view mirror, but for times like this, when I'm the buffer zone for everything else, I tend to glue my eyes to it, and am I forever grateful that I did. I see behind me a large fast moving SUV. I pay it no mind as i flick my hazards on. I looked back up and I swear, this guy is booking along at roughly the speed of light. They apparently aren't paying attention. Fuck! I'm gonna be the cushion! Quick thinking person I am, I watch.. and watch.. and watch.. still nothing.. this person has yet to slow from warp speed. At the last possible second, when I'm positive this d-bag is gonna hit, they see me, as i break left into the thankfully vacant carpool lane, and this motherfucker is all over the place! They break right as i broke left, over-corrected and shot in front of me into the carpool lane. Thankfully nobody got hurt, but it could have been sooo much worse.
I nearly shat myself in the carpool lane. I have never been so scared in my entire life. I shook from the point, until I reached SF 45 minutes later. That motherfucker just about took me out, just because they couldn't be bothered to keep their eyes on the road.
Remember kids, keep your eyes on your mirrors and on the road. Put that cell phone down, the text/e-mail/IM you're writing can wait until you hit traffic, or preferably when you reach your destination. Your friends will understand, I promise.

For all things good and holy! My sleep sure is one of those.. Approximately 6 minutes ago, the smoke detector in my room decided that it's current battery no longer held a sufficient charge, and started one really high-pitch *BEEP!* every 30 seconds. So as you can tell, that probably didn't last long. Went got a 9v battery, the step-stool and showed that mother-effing smoke-detector who's boss. I'm going back to sleep. It's now 5AM.
Eff that damn battery.
Right in the negative terminal.

Well everyone, my employment at South Valley Internet is coming to an end. I was approached by a friend of mine *cough*bradley*cough* because he knew of a potential job. I submitted my resume, and had an interview a couple days later. I received a formal offer of employment yesterday, and signed and sent it back today! I'm going to go work for a company call Cm Networking. You can visit their site at http://www.cmnetworking.net. I'll be submitting my resignation from SVI on Monday and going on from there! Hopefully for all that read this, I'll get to spend more time with you, as I'll be able to schedule my own work schedule. WooHoo!
I'm super excited about this!
