THIS WAS THE DAILY UPDATE PAGE*
Do you care about my life at all, you should.
April 30, 2003:
One more day, and then the race begins. There are three different
types of verbally releasing your inner angst about someone.
1.) Bitching. Bitching is talking about
someone you are dissatisfied with, however you expect nothing to be
done about your dissatisfaction. In fact you really don't want anything
done about it, it would be more hassle than benefit. You just have to
get it off your chest.
2.) Complaining. Here you expect something
to be done about it. You want action taken and you are telling someone
so that way they will do something to rectify the problem.
3.) Talking shit. Unlike the other two,
talking shit is meant to hurt that person. Whether their reputation
or their feelings when they hear what you've said, and they will hear
what you say, it is solely done to cause the other pain.
So think about what you are saying when you say it. What are your motives.
Why did this turn up in the Daily Updates you may ask yourself. Honestly
I was pulling a blank. I've had this one on the backburner for a while
and I couldn't think of any other things to talk about, so I dipped
into the ole' update barrel, or pulled one off the shelf or any other
euphemism you prefer. But don't feel bad if you are talking about someone
behind their back, you could be just bitching, and bitching is completely
healthy. Better to get it out to someone else than let it fester and
explode on that person and really hurt their feelings. Oh and Welch's
Grapejuice girl. For those of you who didn't know who I was talking
about.
April 26, 2003: The day draws close, who will be the winner? Will it be Mcbean.net or that BFJ one, whatever it's name is. In other news I can't stand that little girl on the Welch's Grapejuice commercial. She seems like such a know it all. Like she is the end all, be all of grapejuice knowledge. Maybe it's because she uses big words and they confuse me. I don't care though. I don't like her! Stick her on a bus with Carrot Top and Terry Bradshaw and zoom them away to Djibouti. No one ever hears anything about Djibouti.
April 18, 2003: Happy Birthday James! That's right. You, like a fine wine, only get more james with age.
April 17, 2003: So finally I have to bring this question to bear, because Mark is dumb. Ultra Magnus, if he was true leadership material, would know that if the Matrix picked Hot Rod to be leader then obviously Hot Rod was more qualified. Sure, Optimus wanted Ultra Magnus to continue on in his footsteps but thats because of that whole "we're both trucks" solidarity crap. And I say this because I do truly think that Optimus was a cool guy, but it's true that he only wanted Ultra Magnus to take his place because he had known him (calling him "old friend", but where was he earlier in the series? I never saw any Ultra Magnus along side any of the other Autobots helping out in times of crisis.) so basically he was playing favorites. Not that he shouldn't but obviously Optimus was falible if the Matrix didn't even pick his choice for successor. You see Mark, the Matrix saw the inner potential of Hot Rod, and perhaps it saw that Ultra Magnus was only destined to be second banana. Magnus can't be upset at the decision. It's not like anyone voted on it and he lost. It was destiny. You can't argue with destiny (for reference, see Mr. Destiny). And finally, Ultra Magnus had his chance, but he blew it. He wanted to use the Matrix's power when they were being attacked but Galvatron on the Junk Planet. Obviously not the Autobots darkest hour, for they still had to face Unicron and the Matrix knew it. Can you imagine if the Matrix didn't have that whole safety device that only the chosen one could open it to "light our darkest hour"? He would have totally wasted it on puny Galvatron and then Unicron would have gone on to eat thousands of other planets in the galaxy including Earth. That would have ended his leadership real quick don't you think. I only say this with love Mark, because you are ignorant to to Transformer lore. It's okay. Don't feel bad. You were just feeling sympathetic to Ultra Magnus' plight. But my point is, if Ultra Magnus were to even be considered to take over the role of Autobot leader, then he would have had to understand and agree with the Matrix's decision. For a true leader knows when there is someone else who is better suited for the job, you let them do it, for it is in the best intrest of the team. That was Cobra Commander's big mistake. Do you think that Ultra Magnus is the Transformer Cobra Commander? No, I didn't think so.

April 16, 2003: Uh oh. I had better do my taxes.
April 14, 2003: Yeah, Flash still hates me. But I shall triumph! In other news, there is nothing of importance happening right now. Am I crazy because I like rainy days and cloudy days.
April 13, 2003: You know, if you are thinking it's because nothing happens there, well, you're wrong. James posts there. And Christina. They're good people. Mark posts there, and he even signs his posts with "Pip Pip". What more do I have to do? ...............................I can do that.
April 13, 2003 (supplement): Ryan, I don't know you, but whatever it turns out to be, you will be okay. I know it.
April 12, 2003: Why?
April 11, 2003: Yet, you still do not post on the forums.
April 10, 2003: I know you are looking at my site.
April 6: 2003:
Dear Mr. Frampton,
It has appeared to me that during a discussion about one of you pieces
I called you a rather awful name. I do not feel it relevant to disclose
the name that I called you, what is relevant is that I called you it.
Now, I did not necessarily mean this name that I called you, nor was
I meaning to bring any shame upon you or your kin. And even though I
am appalled at my apparent lack of respect for you, I am more appalled
that I used the name in the first place. I abhor this name and find
myself angered whenever I hear it uttered. As I am sure you are as well.
And that's what I like about you Pete. You don't like to see people
being treated with disrespect. You're a take no guff kind of guy when
it comes to that. And that is why I felt I should apologize to you and
to all those that I offended by calling you that. I really didn't want
to tarnish our relationship, now that we are moving into the next phase.
One name and that could ruin everything, and I didn't want to see that
sort of thing happen to us. What we have is rather special and no little
name should get between that. So again I apologize. You are not what
I called you. I love you.
April 6, 2003 (supplement): Oh and Happy Birthday Alex. Even though you do not look at my website. =*(
April 2, 2003: So, what do you do with a drunken sailor? Seriously. They are rather surly?
April 1, 2003: Now now? Wait. Now now? Okay. Happy Birthday Johna.
Holy Shit that's good stuff! I want more!
SHIT. Thats what this is. Pure Shit.
