jimmy. it wasnt your turn. it was mark’s turn. tomorrow can be your day.
or we could each have our own personal word of the day, as well as a group word of the day. that might be somewhat lovely.

here’s a dandy non-nascar-related word for the day: honeypot. While most dictionaries will return the tame: “South African shrub whose flowers when open are cup- or goblet-shaped resembling globe artichokes,” allow me to introduce you to some of its more interesting definitions when used vernacularly.
A Wi-Fi Honeypot, for instance, is a wireless internet access point whose sole existence is to lure freeloading wireless internet users onto the network, and then to capture any information they want from that user’s computer.
Another instance of Honeypot used primarily in Viet Nam, IIRC, was a soldier that was wounded by the enemy and left in a clearing. The soldier, hurt to the point that he couldn’t get away, would cry for help. After a while, one of his allies would hear him and attempt to rescue him, only to be killed by the enemies hiding near their “honeypot” as he entered the clearing.

here’s hoping that brightened your day. we should do more of these “word of the day” things, no?

and i’ll say friggin’ as much as i like, thank you. i promise that i have no desire to be construed as “southern.”
farken.
at least you didnt say that horrid word known as “friggin”
in my book thats a nasty “im from the midwest but wanna be southern” sorta term. if you cared to know
oh. and drew. i found a guy who goes into his car to listen to car races cause he doesnt have cable. so. if you ever come out here (heh) then you can be nascar buddies or something.
today is moving day. i get to move crap and more crap across nashville. luckily i dont have that much here in the first place.
but in the past few days, i have almost been sad that i do not have an actual place of my own. i think i *almost* wanted to have a place of my own, that if someone was living with me, they’d be using MY stuff, rather than me being a little beggar and using theirs.
i have a dream…
