hello.
this is my first post as a North American Electric Reliability Council system operator. yay. (that means i passed my test) it wasnt that bad, although i did worse that i thought i did after i finished my test (82%). oh well, i passed. anyways, now that that's over, cant wait for going out tomorrow, then seeing local h saturday at north beach. what other band plays in dupage county twice? (once at COD and now in downers grove at north beach) my musical palatte will finally be cleansed of that foul sugar ray taste. yayayayayayaya (as kermit in the weezer video).
now whenever i go anywhere i can say "im probably the only person in here that is NERC certified". then everyone will pummel me.
anyways the past few days i have been driving home from work...
sorry, i was just watching baseball tonight and saw the homerun list for today. mark bellhorn has 17 homers ?!?!?! impressive.
anyways, the past few days i have been driving home from work, i noticed that there are more songs that i actually like on the radio now. i remember a couple years ago, when the radio was almost unbearable. the only songs worth listening to were old good songs from the heyday of alternative rock. now, there are actually some good new songs by new bands. more than half the songs on the radio are actually listenable now. and this is important because i dont have a cd player or mp3 player in the car.
another thing i notice while driving to and from work is the amount of roadkill. i think the roadkill cleaneruppers are not doing their job. i saw the same raccoon for a week.
Bill Walton: that's terrrrrible
ok anyways gotta go to sleep. I GOTTA RAGE, YO

DAD KEEPS DROPPING HINTS ABOUT MOM'S SEXUAL PROCLIVITIES
PHOENIX, AZ—Rodney Granger, 46, a Phoenix-area father of three, drops frequent hints about his wife Sandy's sexual proclivities, his creeped-out children announced Monday.
"Yesterday, we passed a sign on this supermarket loading dock that said 'Deliveries In The Rear.' Dad jabbed Mom, and they both started to laugh," said Andrew, the couple's 13-year-old son. "I acted like I didn't get it, but I got it all right. Apparently, Mom does, too."
According to Andrew's sister Erin, 11, the remark was far from atypical.
"On weekends, Dad and I sometimes go to the park to shoot hoops," Erin said. "Last Saturday, Dad told me to go without him, saying, 'Your mom needs me to take care of some things at home.' Then he smiled in this really weird way. I did not need to know that."
Erin said she believes her father is unaware that she, Andrew, and even 8-year-old Rachel are able to pick up on much of his thinly veiled sexual innuendo.
"I didn't used to get what Dad was saying, but now I'm catching on more and more," Erin said. "I'm starting to miss those days when I didn't know what Dad meant by, 'Your mother doesn't get tired very easily,' or 'It's time to do some drilling.' Blech."
As the oldest child, Andrew said he better understands his father's comments than his sisters do. As a result, he tries to protect them.
"Sometimes, Rachel will ask me what Dad meant by some strange comment, like 'It's seed-planting time,'" Andrew said. "I'll say, 'He was talking about putting some tulips in the garden.' I can't let her know what sort of shit is going on in her own house."
Still, little Rachel is beginning to catch on to the racy double talk.
"On Mom's birthday, Dad told her she'd get her other present later," Rachel said. "Well, I know what that meant. That meant some sort of sex or something. Eww, nasty."
"They're always kissing in front of us, even Frenching," Andrew said. "How disgusting is that?"
Last week, on family board-game night, Rachel expressed her disgust with the open displays of affection. Her protestations, however, fell on deaf ears: Her father kissed her mother throughout the Pictionary contest, saying that he couldn't resist because she is "the best kisser in town." Granger then added, "Just ask your Uncle Kyle," provoking playful slaps from Sandy.
The Uncle Kyle remark, Erin explained, was an allusion to events of many years ago.
"I heard the story about how Dad stole Mom from his brother Kyle, who went on one date with her a long, long time ago, before Mom and Dad were ever married," Erin said. "But now I have to imagine Mom making out with Uncle Kyle. God, I want to puke."
Equally nauseous is Andrew.
"I spend a lot of time at my friend Danny's house, and his parents never touch each other at all," Andrew said. "Why are Mom and Dad still chasing each other around the table and tackling each other in piles of leaves on the front lawn? It completely makes me want to barf. If I grow up warped, it's so their fault."
