Sooooooooooo Happy New Year to all you people I neglect in Livejournal land.... Still alive, still waiting for child number 2 to arrive, my bet is on the weekend of the 18th, but who knows with these things. CES is this week and Macworld is next week, which is heaven/hell for me... I looooooove the new toys but at the same time repeating over and over to myself "No Rob you don't NEED them the money would be better spent on your children" is like soul crushing... At least for a couple of minutes till something else shiny distracts me. Other than that... writers strike sucks for television but it's giving me a chance to catch up on flicks that I've missed, my brother snagged me a whole bunch of HD flicks for xmas which really rocked... ohhh I probably never mentioned I finally got around to "finishing" (it'll never really be finished but at least it's working now) the home theater thing, 100" screen, Optoma HD projector and I built a crazy MCE setup with HD-DVD and Blu-Ray and using myMovies as a cataloging/serving system (btw if you're into that whole home theater thing, that software is free and I can't recommend it highly enough) for our old dvd's which are stored on a 3 terrabyte raided server setup. I won't blather on about it here, but I have to admit as much as I love going to theater to see movies, I think this is a much more enjoyable watching them and for once my wife actually agrees with me ;-) ohhhh... must not forget.. I still do that fake internet radio show type thingy with ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lucky_groom and Dan and Jason and we're looking for a mouthy female that can keep us in line ;-) Paul's wife had to stop doing it cuz she got a respectable job soooooooooo we're putting that call out to anyone with boobs that interested and can do spare some time Mondays at 9pm eastern. Drop me a line if that's you.... And I think that's it... now I'll go back to waiting for Idol AND Big Brother to start up in a couple of weeks... *burp*

OK say it with me, "must remember to update, must remember to update". Let's see....
Dear Father,
it's been two weeks since my last livejournal confession and this is what's happened:
Grandmother died (it's alright, she suffered for six years and it really was for the best)
We scrambled to keep Becca away from the proceedings (except for the wake) cuz two year olds and funerals... u know
We spent the limo rides from the funeral home to the church to the cemetery laughing really hard cuz we thought the priest was on drugs.. It really wasn't appropriate but some of the stuff he said was sooooo out there we couldn't help it.. He gave my father the crucifix from my grandmothers casket and said to keep it because it would keep him safe from "mischief" like bumping his head, tripping, tornadoes and tsunami's... and that was in all seriousness... I won't even get into building altars at home, serpents and crushed skulls, or stopping the rosary until someone brought him water.... *starts snickering again*
What else, ohhhh it took a whole month but my iMac arrived and I really am in awe and love with the thing..
Just found out Becca is going to be moving from her Toddler class to Preschool class in her daycare... *sniff* she's growing up too fast damn it!!!!
Three months and counting to the release date of the Official Baby Ont sequel, though I suspect the producer will bump up the release date like the first one was.
Ummmmmmm ohhhh Iron Maiden is doing a tour playing only stuff from Somewhere in Time and earlier AND they're using the Powerslave stage, that was the first real metal concert I got to see on my own with friends as a teenager and one of buddies snagged us tickets for the Toronto show... I'm really looking forward to the show... though I know when I get there I will look around and feel REAL FUCKING OLD... then again, I am... quick someone show me some titties and make me feel young ;-)
For these and all my other sins I am truly sorry, I ask for forgiveness from you Father Brad (even though you sold lj to 6part and now you work for google and are probably a gazillionaire), or something like that... Now give me my penance.

Well now here we go again... a couple of months, time for an update in ye ole LiveJournal I guess.... Surprise, surprise, I am in fact still alive, obviously haven't really been around these parts much, though from what I hear not many people have been lately, guess the LJ phenom thing is dieing down.. That being said I have managed to read a lil bit over the last couple of weeks and throw the odd comment out here and there... There is quite a few of you that I actually do miss And the lack of real people nudity as of late can be a bit depressing ;-) It's just tough finding the time these days ya know? Yesterday was my first official Fathers Day as a dad, it was a nice day all in all, I gotta admit I'm digging the whole Dad thing more and more. There's still lots of crying and she's starting to figure out tantrums can be fun if she doesn't get what she wants, but that stuff is so miniscule compared to all the good stuff that happens on a day to day basis.... Definitely one of those things that I never knew how awesome it was gonna be and how much it would change me until it happened. The site is still taking up a lot of my free time these days, it was one of those things that LJ was kinda limiting at the time and so I started that thing and it grew and then grew some more and now it's more of a business thing these days than anything. it sucks cuz I miss the personal interaction that LJ has and blogging really can't touch that aspect of LJ. The podcasting thing though has turned out to be a lot of fun, and actually I've met a bunch of pretty decent people through that (btw if you're bored tonight we're doing our 25th show, more here). It's cool because you see how that whole thing is growing daily and people are doing more of the pod and video casting thing, and I guess by it's nature it's such a more intimate medium, it'll be interesting to see how that grows in the future.... What else, what else, ohhh ya.. had surgery a couple weeks back, I've had this long standing problem breathing through my nose, ya I know I know the fucking thing is HUGE you could fly a 747 between nostrils, how could you possibly have breathing problems, but I did.. Well anyway they took a drill to the thing and made some more room and SOMEHOW managed to break one of my teeth while doing that.. that part I haven't figured out yet... but slowly but surely I am able to breathe more and more and as a result smell and taste again. You never know how much you could missed that until it's given back to you... Other than I'm rambling, I'll let you get back to your regularly scheduled stuff now, play nice and I'll see you sometime :)
