Today's update is about the world of Facebook.
It's the newest drug. It's worse than cocain, crystal meth and marijuana combined into one big super drug.
People are on this thing all day. I created an account last night and spent three hours looking for people that I think I remember from a disastrously hazy part of my life (college).
Once I got through that, I ran through all the people from D-rock. Geez, it was like walking down a bizzaro memory lane because everyone was older. Everybody has their own kids now, starting their own families.
It's a great tool because you can catch up with old friends you haven't talked to years. I chatted with Addy Smoke this morning and I haven't seen her this decade I think - and this was somebody I saw every day for at least 12 years of my life!
I find it wierd that you can lose touch with people that you have been friends with all your life. Lord knows I'm the worst at keeping in touch, just ask my mother.
The one thing that life teaches you is that it's not the places that are special - Decatur, Jacksonville, Troy - it's the people that makes those places special.
My graduating class from Decatur was made up of the some of the finest people I know and as close as we were, I just fell out of the loop as I started my career and focusing towards meeting my goals.
As for the good people from JSU, that has been fun seeing what they are doing now and catching up with some very good friends that I made during the half-decade I was there. Surviving life in Jacksonville makes it where you can be successful once you leave school - because you learn a lot more outside the classroom than you do in it.
Thank you Crackbook!

Healed
After going through a box of Kleenex, a pack of Benadryl cold and sinus, and a pack of Halls cough drops, I believe that I'm finally over my sinus problems.
What was the problem? Rhino-citis. Take a sinus infection, make it worse, and bingo! You have rhinocitis.
Now, just chilling in the Courtyard in Macon, Ga., living the highU life of being on the road.
I believe the nesting period has begun at our house as we have cleaned out our extra bedroom for lil' Stevie's impending arrival. That means a lot of stuff has been moved into our bedroom, which means I have to clean my area up.
Until next time...

Please shoot me
As I close in on my 10th day of a sinus infection, I have awakened from Benadryl-induced coma long enough to make this post.
First, if somebody could make a vacuum that sucked all of the crap out of your sinuses, I would pay just about any amount of money for it. I've been blowing crap out of nose for at least three days and it shows no signs of stopping anytime soon.
Second, why haven't they created a medicine that just clears your sinus cavity? Seriously. With all the advances in modern medicine, we can't get something like this.
For whenever you are sick and wanting to find a way to go to sleep, I suggest checking out the Universal HD channel in the afternoon. Yesterday they ran a marathon of Hogan's Heroes and that put me into a deep enough sleep until Bonnie came home and we ate dinner.
To make matters worse, I've got a 48-hour deadline to get better. I go on the road to Macon on Friday morning and the LAST thing I want to do is get on that bus for five hours with the speakers turned up to a near deafening level while we watch some gosh-awful movie.
BTW, I voted for my nephew today and see that he's garnering a large vote total. I look forward to voting again tomorrow.
Little Jack is growing quite nicely I see in the pictures that his mother posts on the website. Here's the $64,000 question...what will he call Donna?
My bet is for Grandma Donna...and I've got a sneaky feeling that lil Stevie will be doing the same.
Enough for tonight...it's time to re-up my meds and retreat to the couch.

Family Update...Feb. 1, 2009
We all lose family members in life. Damn it, they just get old sometimes.
Or, in some cases, they marry in (to someone older) and then when that person passes away - move on to their next family.
It is being reported that Shirley Lamp, wife of the late Jack Lamp, has now moved forward with her life - marrying somebody of similar distinction to Kenny Rogers. In the interest of full disclosure, the only thing I think he shares with Mr. Rogers is a love of fried chicken and doing live country music performances.
That is fast moving - just five months since Jack passed away. That is not a new record though. Once Grandma Helen passed away, it was just three months later that Shirley had become the new Mrs. Lamp. Once again, in full disclosure mode, Grandma Helen had been out of it for quite awhile.
So, we in Jacksonville send a hearty congrats out to Shirley for her new love and I wish her all the best in the future.
That narrows down the Lamp family again...which will be dropping another half-branch later this year when Angela gets married.
Moving on (both literally and figuratively), in other news...
- I'm pleased to report that we can finally use the @#%#@$^@$%&#@! internet at our house again. Since the purchase of this new laptop, I've been on the phone with Comcast for at least five hours and spent a hour on the phone with Satish from India discussing why the Dell Inspiron 1525 was not playing friendly with the Comcast modem.
Needless to say, we found out that we could it working via a wireless router, allowing for this current update.
- One of the new features of the laptop is a built in camera...so look for more and more video here shortly. Especially once I figure out how to work our video camera and memory card.
- An update on the baby Jack front...is it just me, or does he look very similar to what Dad looked like when he was a baby? If so, I can't wait until he pulls a Steve and Stuey has to deal with that. I hope Stuey has the straap ready to go!
- As for our child, Bonnie is growing quite nicely and I knock on her belly to wake lil Stevie up every now and then - mainly just to tick Bonnie off as she hates anyone touching her belly.
- Also, if you are looking for auto repairs and wanted to get raped, try the Pep Boys at the corner of Atlantic Blvd. and state road 9A in Jacksonville. They wanted me to plop down $1,500 to fix a few things on the Blazer. Needless to say, I told them that we wouldn't be doing any of those repairs now or anytime soon.
- Let me also state that I'm still pretty peeved about the no Godfather thing. I don't care what religion lil Stevie is dropped into - Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Greek Orthodox or Baptist - he will have Godfather...it maybe Vito Corleone or Jimmy Conway, but he will have a Godfather as I will make my son an offer he can't refuse.
- I've got some other random thoughts that I want to throw out at you. Take these in, let them simmer, swish them around and then get back to us:
-I live in Florida, yet I've used the heat more this year than in any year previously. If we're supposedly suffering from global warming, I want to know where it is.
-This bailout deal is bothering me. So the government is just going to businesses that have been run into the ground money to recover from mistakes, while not giving us tax breaks to help us spend money - which is what greases the skid of the economy in the first place. Who the hell came up with that idea? I'm no economist, but to give more money to people who screwed up with the first time doesn't make a damn bit of sense to me.
