what's up with that?
beat almost all of my projected stats
mood: Accomplished
music playing: The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Phase 3 is obviously 'PROFIT' but we aren't there yet :)
It's been a long time since something has put this kind of a smile on my face the way the goings on of bashtard.com have done in these passed two month. We all know about my shameless advertising, but it finally appears to have paid off.
It's been about a year now... maybe more.. I don't remember really, since the pile first started with a few cheesy pics and no real comment system in place. The entire time my goal was to create a site that only dealt with quality and was willing to go without the quantity. Therefore, when I visit other picture sites, they don't have the same attraction because they have all the shit that either gets deleted from bashtard.com or isn't even considered for the pile.
Also, I can't help but be amazed at the number of users signing up every day, when before I'd wait months for a new signup. It took all of 2003 to get 37 new users, when just this month alone I've got 20.
Hell, I look at the log file every day (like a loser) and see that it is now consistently over 1MB and almost regularly over 2MB. That's alotta dimp! ...and the STATS.... woah boy the STATS

*All statistics are confidential and shall not be disclosed to the public*
There are some people I'd like to thank for the happenings in 2003.
First off, Jesus... if it wasn't for him doing whatever he did, than this might not have happened.. so soon.
Second, Grimm for his tireless efforts in building the structure of the site and for getting rid of the ? in the URI... oh wait a sec... :)
Third, Jacky that jackaz and .myc for Admin'in the hell out of the site and filtering out all the things that I thought were funny and deleting almost all of my uploads :)
Fourth, did I mention Jesus?
Phase 2...
Phase 2 is being done to serve our customers better. *gag*
This includes more control by myself to administer the site the way I want to. So when your asses get outta line... BAM (no idea what that means). Actually, it just lets me progress at the pace to which I desire.
As soon as I can get it up... a server that is, dev.bashtard.com will be going online and we will be dabbling with a little thing the experts call 'php5'. That is unless the assholes building php5 decide to completely change it yet again.
But expect a working search function and other useless crap that will make me say "awww" every time I look at the pile.
Then when Google decides to actually index my site properly, WATCH OUT!!
Phase 3
woah... slow down there cowboy

As I sit here writing this I am at work. Got here at 8am I did.
So its a good thing that the Linkin Park / P.O.D / Scooby-Snack / someone else(??) concert didn't go too late cuz I had to be up extra early for my NEW work schedule of 8am on Sat and Sun.
Can someone say, "suck my balls" ??
Anyway... you realize you shouldn't be at a concert when it takes almost the entire Scooby-Snack and P.O.D. set for you to hear one song that you recognize. "Youth of the Nation" from P.O.D. Then you realize that the first song you recognize is one that you also think is total garbage. Finally though... ALIVE. That's a song I know the chorus to!!
Linkin Park time!!
...and it took at least half of their set for me to recognize a song.
Which song, I do not know. One of those, 'heard it on the radio and changed it cuz I wasn't in the mood' kinda songs.
I must admit though, once the crowd really started to get into it I also began enjoying it even more. Sure there was so much bass it was distorted and sure it was so loud you couldn't make out any lyrics and sure you're not a homosexual. But aside from all that, it was 65 bucks (all figured in CDN funds) almost well spent. Spending time with close friends, listening to modern music.... it doesn't get any better!
Afterwards, Vinnie and I snuggled close with our TV and PS2 whilst the others froze their gonads off going to The Phoenix. I think Vinnie and I chose the much more logical choice of post-concert entertainment.
So I sit here now, at work, typing and sharing my story with the world. Every second feeling more and more sleepy. Trying to stay awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......

what's up with that?
what's up with that?
Picture it... Sicily 1925.
Must have been lovely.
Now picture it, Keele and St. Clair... 2004
A young nobleman is riding his trusty steed down the trail towards the promise land, where he and a friend will join in the act of culinary creation and artistry. At said locale, the young nobleman comes upon a light. This light is green. Not just any green light however. No... this light also directs the nobleman eastward and forward on his route to the promise land. Not all is well as there is a steed ahead of which does not appear to see this easterly directed light of green shade. Thus, causing a near collision when our nobleman and the out of control steed both attempt to go onward in said easterly direction.
So that's why I have come to the conclusion that Asian people are not inherently bad drivers. They pickup these driving skills, or lack of from their Asian instructors whom are the "fucking idiot drivers" that we all scream at on a daily basis.
In English, I had an advanced green to turn left onto St. Clair and while doing so, the car across from me in the right turn lane decided to go as well. This almost caused a collision because (a) I was already making my turn, but had to go a bit further into the intersection due to a car facing west that was blocking a clear turn and (b) because they tried to make the turn parallel to me on my advance light.
A normal instructor would have stopped the person from going, or instructed them WHEN to safely turn their car as to avoid any problems. Had they waited half a second longer than I wouldn't even be writing this post because I would have been 3/4 done my turn and not concerned with their attempted right.
What should be done you ask?
If it were up to me...
Well luckily it isn't up to me and what can this one little guy do to change the world anyway? Just be warned, the next time you feel the need to let an Asian driver know how you feel, I suggest instead to find their instructor and hoof em in the gonads.

You know, when it snows and people on the road become complete and total fucking MORONS when they're in their cars trying to get home.
I think driving to work today was as annoying a driving experience as I've ever had. It was almost unbearable watching people try and do the same things they do in normal weather, but this time in conditions prone to cause accidents.
Being an outsider (to the city that is) I don't regularly get to interact with the stupidity of these city drivers. They seem to combine an inordinate amount of precaution with a retarded ass aggressive/anal 'you're not getting in front of me' attitude.
For example, the act of being on the phone and driving way too fucking slow is there, but you add driving even slower because of the slippery conditions and now you've got a mass traffic jam due to one moron. Or someone who decides that they MUST get in that lane, no matter the consequence, then slips, hammer the brakes and slam into the back of another complete moron who unexpectedly hit the brakes for no conceivable reason.
My suggestion would be to replace all the cars with dogsleds.
Pros:
no more carbon monoxide pollution
no more wasting natural resources
easier transportation
human interaction
human to pet interaction
Cons:
pollution would be feces
dogs may bite
dogs may attack other dogs
people may fight amongst themselves
Although there are the obvious cons, I'm still 100% for the dogsled proposal. Mainly from the perspective that I'm from the country, thus would still require an automobile. This way I can just fly through the intersections and down the roads, knocking down and killing all the fucking idiots whom right now if I tried, I'd have to pay higher insurance rates for denting their cars.
That is all.
Thank you.

Maybe it's a false observation, but everyone I talk to appears to be in such a grumpy ass mood since the new year started. Possibly a global resolution to be more bitchy than the year before?? Well I don't subscribe to that.
I think that should be revised to something along the lines of, 'try to be happier' or 'try to get healthier' or 'try to have more fun' or 'try to get that dream job'
People would again be a treat to be around because the positivity would be flowing!! I know what you logical math guys are thinking, but I'm sorry, you cannot become positive by trying to be even more negative than you already are. It just doesn't work that way.
So to all... smile, cheer up, crack a joke.
You'll be amazed at how much better you feel.
...and I'm Joanne Mcleod
