Sorry there hasn't been an update lately. Some personal things going on as well as being on my second week without a day off. 12 hour days are killing me!
While at Dunkin Donuts today there was a group of three in front of me walking out the door. I held the door, everything was kind and cordial then the wind picked up and blew away their napkins. I started saying, "litering, litering"
Then the driver said "littering and......"
I just HAD to reply.
Love the Super troopers movie.

It's no great mystery that I'm an Apple fan.
But this is just stupid.
I really can't comment other than that

Big business sucks
Hello all my peeps. Time for a Fenix Rant.
By now most should have seen the Comcast video of the tech sleeping at the customers home. If not, well here it is :)
Ok, well needless to say the tech got fired. The person that shot the video tried by making calls and sending email NOT to get the person fired that in fact it is the call volumn that the understaffed call center recieves that is to blame. Like most large companies, everyone is just a number.
The story gets better.
I've been in telecom for a little over 10 years. And I've seen first hand how these big telecom companies don't care at all about there employees. Believe me, I could go on a rant about inside information on how upper management want the customers treated. It would be VERY eye opening. But that's not want this rant is for, this rant is about the power that these companies weild, and if it goes unchecked freedom of information will be non existant.
Dateline finally gets on the story. BTW, LOVE how mainstream media is so "mainstream". So Dateline gets the story, does the interviews etc, then ABC wants to post it on their website. You know, internet video, for the young hip demographic, but wait. The company that they send it to to edit and post is none other than.......you guessed it Comcast!! Well comcast got it, and edited the Comcast peice right out. Nothing was said until some people from their demographic decided to narc on them because that peice was no longer there!! Of course once the error was pointed out to ABC and Comcast it was "a mistake that was made during the editing processand has been corrected"
Right.
My biggest problem is that while I was on the inside this sort of behavior was normal. Someone pointed out an issue they where either found to be lacking in another area of their job and fired or "relocated" to a different department. (Believe me I could go on and on) But now that this sort of thing is out in the open people need to know that to the Big bells and the Telecoms this is business as usual, they believe that THEY control the net as well as Media. When you get a chance look into what OTHER business those telecommunications businessess own. You'd be surprised at how much information they control.
People, get informed. Make your voice heard. Start a blog, let them know what you think. And above all, write letters and speak with your dollar.
WE decide on the information, WE decide on the content, WE own the internet.
we WILL be heard

Can't argue
Take my 5 year old daughter Trinity to Toys R Us to pick up UNO and take a look at bike with training wheels.
She's a very good girl. Always stays close and where I can see her. It wouldn't be new if someone came up and remarked on how well mannered she is. So we are there along with several other people and their children. I was looking at the prices (outragous I might add) and she was mingling with the children behind me. I hear her talking to some kid telling him that she already has this scooter and that he's sitting on it backwards and that he should turn around before he gets hurt (she's very caring) then she says, very matter-of-factly
"If your not going to listen maybe you should stay with your mommy"
I said "Trin!"
"But daddy..."
"Trin, we don't talk to people like that"
"But daddy, even if their stupid?"
I looked at the kid sitting on the toy backwards and he really did seem pretty dumb.
But while she's standing their he hits the triggerr and zooms off backwards into another rack 4 feet away or so and starts crying. My daughter simply looks at me, shrugs and says"Some people just like to learn the hard way"
That's true Trin. Damn true.

Makes a Dad proud!
Ok, power goes out. Sitting on the front porch with the 2 oldest kids (teenage girls). They are jonesing for something electronic. I tell them to go get the radio we take camping, maybe the batteries still have some juice. Oldest goes and gets the radio, brings it back, batteries are dead. I tell her to get her radio and see what size batteries it takes, cause I have a bunch of D size for the mag lite. She gets it comes back, takes the panel off. It takes C. She then says while pointing at the electric outlet on the porch, "Why don't we just plug it in there?"
Tears welled up in my eyes, as I started to laugh and spew beer out my nose. Makes a Dad proud!

From Somewhere in the future......
Well well well, I forgot how long ago I started this blog. It's 2025 now, and it seems that this new past portal works pretty well. I can visit a past website, and in this case it's mine!!!
I bet your all wondering what's going on in 2025. I'll tell ya, but I gotta be quick cause the portal only stays so long. Some time space thing.
Free - You'll be happy to know that Moz was found in late 2009. Unfortunaly he esca.....left again.
Petal - The new Xbox 10 (XboxX) now features a tilt adjuster which moves the screen as you tip over! Let me tell you, you hit alot less walls now.
Fud - Science weekly has determined that women do have balls. There just on the inside. Once you heard this no one heard from you for awhile. Apparently you went on some sort of searc for internal willy warmer (sack only)
Fatal - No one has seen you in a while. From what I heard, after PGR 6 Bizarre Creations determined that you were to fast for their game after you pointed out little problem in the way the cars looked and drove. You have not been seen since.
RealCrazy - You'll be happy to know that 2007 they found a cure for most STD's!!
Shane - Unfortunatly stupidity and genetal worts were NOT cured. Sorry bud.
And in a nutshell:
Ninetendo released the gamesphere much to President Gates disappointment.
Pres Gates was poisened (supposedly)
and now VP Hillary Rodham is prez!! First thing she did. change the admendment for more terms. Hers is now till she dies.
Pot has been legalized. I didn't leave my house for 4 months after that passed!!
If everything goes well Vista should be out by 2010. Woot!

Violent Crime on Harley riders up - unrelated news - more Yuppies own Harleys
OK, maybe I am just jealous of this guy and that is my reason for wanting to beat him senseless, or maybe I have just completely lost all touch with humanity, I think its cause some things are just wrong, but I will let you decide for yourself.
Get up, take a nice long hot shower, take my time getting ready for work. No worries, its Friday and the boss is outta town. Kiss the wife and tell her I already let the dogs out and fed them. She tells me to have a good day and rolls over to go back to sleep. I walk out of the house in a good mood ready to have a good day, after all you have to listen to the wife, right?
Get in the car, put the windows down, sunglasses on and crank the stereo. Cruising to work, it is a little later than usual (remember the boss won't be there to see how late I am) so traffic is light. It's sunny and nice at 71º, the mix CD switches songs, Nickelback, Flat on the Floor. I like this song, lots of speed, hard hitting bass, not to mention the lyrics "I better learn how to crawl, 'cause in ten minutes I'll be flat on the floor". Brings back fond memories from the days when it was just me and the wife.
It is at this point I am coming up to a red light (one of the few I have seen all morning, it really is gonna be a good day). Sitting in the left hand lane a few cars up is a nice Harley Fat Boy. Guy has on his leathers, chrome helmet to match his bike. Nice ride, I look at it and think, yea one day.
Light changes, the pipes on this Harley threaten to drown out my stereo, I smile cause that is how I want mine to sound. I mean if I am on a bike I can't annoy people with a loud stereo right? I start to gain on the biker, getting ready to slow down a little so I can check out the ride.
Then it happens, I see something that gets me totally bent in an instant.
I mean how in the hell could this guy be allowed to ride a Harley, much less one with the tricked out exhaust. I contemplate following him, beating him senseless and taking his damn hog. I seriously have to refrain from just running over him, I mean he really doesn't deserve to be on this ride.
What could possible set me off like this you ask?
Dude was wearing bright neon yellow earplugs!
So I will leave it up to you, jealous, crazy, or right.....

What's the Secret
Soooooo
Was going through some old movie listings and I came upon one called "Solent Green"
This is when movies were movies. Here's the tag:
It's the year 2022... People are still the same. They'll do anything to get what they need. And they need SOYLENT GREEN. In an overpopulated futuristic Earth, a New York police detective finds himself marked for murder by government agents when he gets too close to a bizarre state secret involving the origins of a revolutionary and needed new foodstuff. Soylent Green
Now, I posted the movie in my downloads section. I'd like everyone to give it a watch, and do a little web surfing and tell me what the secret is. I already know and think it's kinda funny so I want others to solve this mystery just like I did.
Then use the comments section to tell me what you think the big secret is

As seen on TV
So I got home a little late today.
Forgot to take out dinner. So while I was looking in the lower cupboard I noticed something I hadn't seen in awhile. It's the "Miracle Thaw"
Yes, you read that correctly the Miracle Thaw. As seen on Tv and let me tell you......it's a friggin amazing product. I have absolutly no idea how that works, it's just a peice of metal, but it thawed those hamburgers in seconds! So I tried a Lond Broil. Out of the freezer, on the Miracle Thaw and 45 minutes (or so) later I had a nicely thawed peice of meat.
After I cleaned the Miracle Thaw I had to try the ice cube thing from the commercial. And I'll be damned, in seconds, right before my eyes, the ice cube was gone.
I don't get it.
I should roll video.

Mom called! Ep #3
Guess who called today!
Bless her heart.
Fenix: Hello?
Mama Fenix: Chris?
Fenix: Yes mom
Mama Fenix: Your not gonna believe what happened to me today.
Fenix: I'm sure
Mama Fenix: What's that supposed to mean?
Fenix: Nothing. Go on.
Mama Fenix: So, I'm at the market, and my knees aren't so good, so i get one of those motorized chair thingys
Fenix: .........
Mama Fenix: And I'm tooling myself around and I get to the DVD racks.....
Fenix: uh huh
Mama Fenix: ...and my sweater gets caught on one of the racks....
Fenix: oh no mom, what happened? (hehe)
Mama Fenix: well I had those earphones in that you gave me for christmas and I was listenting to some gospel music so I didn't hear the rack come off. I must've dragged it for 3 isles before one of the stock girls jumped in front of the scooter, but I don't know how to stop one of those things that fast.
Fenix: uh huh....(covering the phone at this point so she cant hear me laughing)
Mama Fenix: I tell you, it was embarassing,. Everytime the girl would grab at me this stupid scooter would go in reverse. I couln't even get the earphones off so I couldn't hear what they were saying.....it was awfull!
Fenix: I'm sure, it sounded like it.
Mama Fenix: What are you doing?
Fenix: Nothing.
Mama Fenix: It sounds like typing??
Fenix: No....

Sunday update
Ahhh lovely day of rest.
So I get up and head to my local Dunkin Donuts for a nice ice coffee. As I get close I notice all the motorcycles and think "Cool, some club is doing a ride". I was getting all warm and fuzzy thinking about the days when my dad would let me ride on the back of his bike on these rides.
But as I get closer I realize that these arent ordinary Harley riders. These are those damn white collar executives that try to recapture their youth. They seemed to be wondering why the OTHER Harley people that are riding by aren't waving back.
Here's a clue (Remember, Fenix is here to help)
1) The actual purchase of the bike should be done by the rider, like get on it and drive it around. Don't just look at pictures, or see one that looks cool. The bike is an extension of yourself. Like a good pair of jeans. Which brings me to my next point.
2) DO NOT buy every branded Harley peice of clothing in the store where you picked up your bike! And PLEASE do not wear EVERYthing you just purchased all at the same time. You look like a fool. Again, when riding it's about comfort and freedom. You'll get more respect from others if your in a old t-shirt and jeans.
3) Those "hot" harley boots for women, with the thick 2in heel. ......... stop the insanity already. They might look any foot look good, but if you can't walk in them DON'T WEAR THEM!!
4) If you can't lift your leg and get on your bike, and you haven't been drinking, you have 2 choices. Start working on your flexablility or lower your bike. Trying multiple times, having a friend help, or doing the lift leg-lean-hop-hop-hop really does look as stupid as you feel.
That is all for now. Just trying to make the world a better place.

Saturdays missing post
WooooHoooooooo
My cell phone (check past posts) has finally arrived in Canada. I was assured that it would be sent out first thing in the morning on Monday. Now lets just hope it makes it.
Now for the rant.
WTF is up wit the US postal service. Not a big mystery that their losing business to FedEx and big brown. But your really not helping yourselves when you can't even track a package.
Lets just say that in my world the USPS is on the chopping block just like the phone company. Neither will I use unless absolutely needed.

Heated heated HEAT-TED
Head to my downloads page and at the very top I posted a audio clip of Sentor Ted Stevens from Alaska.
He's heading up the Net Neutrality bill. IF YOU LIKE SURFING THE INTERNET GET INFORMED!
The senator should take his computer, put it back in the box, take it back to the store or the I.T. department. Because he CLEARLY cannot use one.
Please, feel free to use the comments
oh Brother
Just a call from one of my brothers
He asked how he could get cable. I told him to call the cable company.
He said:
Dude, can't I just climb those pegs on the side of the pole and connect myself?
....
Sure you can, just wait for me to get there with the camera.
Why?
Cause there's 90 volts up there and I want to see what happens to someone your size when they get hit with that.
......Your an asshole....*click*

Went in the pool with Trinity.
She said she had to pee.
Don't pee in the pool
I won't
And she got out, walked the 3 or 4 feet to the shed. She then leaned on the shed as iff she just got arrested and let go!! Turned around and said "All set"
No your not. WE will be going into the house to change. Who gave you that idea? No one, I though it up myself.

Oh and so it begins.
I decided to use blogger because it seemed like the easiest thing to do and the one that "downloads" resides on is getting a little limited. So, in going forward I would like to know if any of the peeps would like to help administer parts of this site with me. I know a few might.
Don't forget to check out the new downloads. They should be up by 4pm eastern. Later I'm thinking PGR3.....unless I hear from a certain somene.
