    Lifeguards, check out the banquet pictures!

    Sorry for the blurb there folks, but as I've noticed my lifeguard buddies have the attention span of a... um...  well whatever it is, I've already lost their attention.  So in order to get them to see the pictures they wanted I have to use big flashy letters and put them at the top of the page. As for the rest of you, feel free to check out my lifeguard pictures and the accompanying sounds for some cheap (as in free) entertainment. 

  Well, alot has happened recently, but its not time for a serious rant yet so I'll just do a half-assed one for now. That seems to be what everyone else is doing, but then again they all promise me that once school starts (two weeks) that they'll have more to rant about.  So I guess that leaves it up to me and my dormant personalities to write something you would enjoy.

   You want to know what's cool? A chilled squirrel in a fridge (or any other slightly-cold and frosty place).

 You want to know what else is cool, and probably won't provoke PETA to send me hate mail?  Time Travel.

  Whether you know it or not, if you just clicked on the link above then you traveled in time.  Okay, not the PETA link, if you clicked on it then you just caused a small defenseless animal in Ecuador to experience unfathomable pain and suffering due to something I like to call the butterfly effect (don't ask, nobody ever suspects the butterfly).   The real link I was referring to was the dormant personalities one.

 "And how is that time travel?" you might ask
      Well, you see those nifty size-ten bold letters near the top of this page? Those are what I like to call a date, and I'm not talking about the uber-cool kind that involves chilled ladies in freezers.   And unless my math is wrong, today's date is 0000-1000/0001-0001/0010-0000-0000-0011 (08/11/2003).  Which reminds me of a funny quote I heard today: "There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't". Back to subject, if you check the date on the linked rant, you will see that is it two days into the future from today.  While I assume 98% of you will see it as being a day in the past, for those of you lucky enough to read this rant on the day I posted it will give you a little time traveling experience of your own.  

  Speaking of time travel, I finally saw a movie I've been meaning to watch which unexpectedly involved that very subject. If you haven't seen Donnie Darko yet, I highly recommend it.  I had been meaning to see it but I was never in the mood to see another mafia movie.  As it turns out, I was confusing Donnie Darko with Donnie Brasco. If I had known Donnie Darko was a movie involving a teenager, the 80's, time travel, and a disturbed rabbit  I would have rented it a long time ago.  I'm still trying to figure out what the hell happened in the movie, but I guess after watching it again I'll figure it out.  Oh, and for those bored individuals out there, check out the website. From the little I saw of it, it seemed like an interesting place where a person could waste a few hours.

  And beyond time travel I really don't have much to say now.  Maybe if I think of something in the future I'll fax it to myself in the past so I can post it earlier.  In the meantime, you have plenty of things to entertain yourself with :)

     - J,   you know, on a torrential day like today, I really wish I would roll up my windows when I get out of my car
