All Jokes Aside ....

I'm not gonna say I'm a super funny person, even though I tend to do some super funny stuff or have super funny faces. My jokes never really seem to fall into that super funny category though. Hell they usually don't even fall into a funny category sometimes. I guess it probably has to do with the fact that I to lure people into my funny trap before I spring the "This was merely a joke". By then however its too late, people have either decided that they didn't get it or that it wasn't funny.

I guess my "jokes" are not really funny because people always play some on me, then me being me tries to get all technical and logical by that time the "I'm joking" card has already been drawn but I haven't had a chance to explain anything. I guess that is where my problem lies though, I allow too much time for other things to pop up killing anything funny within any of my comments.

Example

Scene #1

person #1 - "I just told So-n-So that you pee in the bed."

Person #2 - "You did wha..."

Person #1 - "LOL Just kidding, I'm playing with you"

Scene #2

Person #1 - "I just told So-n-So that you pee in the bed."

Person #2 - "You did what?!?"

Person #1 - "Yea, I told them you had a weak bladder and you can never make it to the bathroom in time"

Person #2 - "OMG, I'm gonna kill you!!!"

Person #1 - "LOL Just kidding, I was just messing with you"

Person #2 - "... ... ... .....ARGGGHHH!!! I'm gonna kill you!!"

Person #1 - "Wait...wait...Nnnoooo!!!"

It's obvious that I seem to fall into the second scene category alot more. About time its revealed that everything was a joke in scene 2 it's pretty much too late and you're well on your way to a beating.

Winter Sky

I'm not really into fall all that much, I'm probably more of a winter person. I don't really enjoy the cold but being from Milwaukee I can take it. What I really enjoy most about the winter though is the snowfall. During the snowfall, the one with the giant snowflakes and the temperature close to freezing, everything just seems to be calm and quiet. Well at least during the night it does.

I used to live on a relatively quiet block and when it was snowing sometimes I would go out in the middle of the night and just sit in our yard in the snow and just think. The sky would be cloudy with a deep purplish tint to it. The air would seem unusually warm and it would be so quiet and still that it seemed like everything stopped except for the snow.

Then if you incorporate all of that with the soft glow of flashing christmas lights, you'll get the other reason why i like winter. I'm really big into christmas, I even like the corny christmas commericials and christmas music. But enough of that.....

I currently don't have any bluetooth enabled devices myself, but I've found alot of bluetooth hacking information. The most interesting that I found was this. A Bluetooth Sniper Rifle ..... whoa
The Flexilis teams demonstrated the gun with some home-brewed Bluetooth scanning software. They pointed the gun down the hallways and out windows. Almost instantly, vulnerable phones with their unique Bluetooth device numbers appeared on the laptop screen. The device is powerful enough to detect devices through building walls.
You can pick off a bluetooth enable device from a mile away.... hmmmm
