I'm one of those types who is unbelievalbly diplomatic and usually calm, and truly enjoys 'stressfull,' situations, because I tend to glide them, whereas others completely freak and cave in under the strain...

but there is a hyde to my jekyll.

...put me in a situation where I'm like, riding down the road in my pickup, make a turn, and stuff starts sliding or bouncing around the inside of the cab, (you know, tools, pencils, paperwork, etc. etc..)
I become this completely irrational enraged muppet and get all disgusted, (arms waving around in the air, and stuff...) like Kermit the Frog very much in need of a tranquilizer dart...
(I don't do so great with spaghetti while wearing a white shirt, either.)

Sometimes I'm way more 'Walter' than 'Dude.'

(I wonder what It's going to be like when I'm old and senile...

probably one of those guys living in an old double-wide on the edge of town, who has two dozen early 60's Dodges parked 18.75 inches apart, (exactly,)
-a dirt lawn full of pinwheels,
-a lawnchair, an umbrella, a wristrocket and a bucket of lead shot, and

-and a big tinfoil sign that says

'...welcome aliens,(intergalactic and otherwise,)
-we're sorry about Bush, ...now just give us Elvis back, and everything will be cool...'

I swear I'm gonna be the first guy to make it to 100 who has a serious collection that includes Miles Davis, the Beach Boys, R.E.M., the Clash, Def Leppard, ZZ Top, AND the Breeders... (with a little Twila Paris, Phil Keaggy, AC/DC, and Joan Jett thrown in just to make 'em wonder...)

...maybe one GreenDay song (BrainStew) but I'll probably supplant 'em with SoundGarden and Rage... (or various incarnations thereof.)

...and yes, there will be a hot babe present, (she'll probably be a good five to ten years younger, ...but then again, when your a hundred, who cares???
-and the two of us (with our wigs on,) are are gonnna rhumba through those Dodges while listening to Pavorotti, in the moonlight and NO you can't watch...
(but you can sit next to us in church, the next day, and join us at denny's ... promise.)

I only find them KINDA annoying, but then I just delete it. I think there's a way to turn off email setting here, but it hasn't annoyed me enough to do it. I figure with the hundreds of spam email I get to seven different email accounts, it's probably the least of my worries. It'd be nice if they all went away tho...

I will GLADLY share the experience with you...

I've been getting the same 'new private message on Fresno Famous,' for like DAYS now...

(...and you know what? (lemme whisper it in your ear...)

IT'S ANNOYING AS STINK!!!!

...ya know what I'm saying? can you see what I'm hearing and hear what I'm looking at, there, ducks...

like...

reeeeeeeeeeeely annoying... (not looking to go postal here...)

but man...

we're talking sand in the base of your bathing suit, and WORSE, annoying...

-bothersome, actually...

Not everyone is receiving the mysterious private message email. I have yet to receive one so at least it is not system wide.

It has attracted intelligent belly-dancers... (so it does have it's merits...)

It's all part of a diabolical plan to get the people who come here and read stuff to...

uh...

come here and read stuff.

YEAH! Oh... it's a crafty scheme, it is...

"On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined." - Lord Byron

...daily, for weeks now. Kinda annoying...

-s

and have re-gotten (is that a word....okay, now its a word,)

it over the past few days...

I wrote Josh is the New Jarah and asked about it...

and was told...

He'd look into it and get back to me...

He's not gotten back to me...

(and I've gotten the message again...)

I'd be really all worked up about it, and calling people on the phone, shouting,,,

but I'm so bushed...
I feel like I could just fall asleep here at the keyboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr............

zzzzzzzz.

I've been getting the same message... at least you're not alone.
