3 Songs

Okay...for those of you still visiting here and wondering why the fuck I'm not posting over at the new place, it's really really simple. I'm totally lost at how to post on there. I found the screen to post on earlier today, only now I can't seem to find it again and reading directions is for other people. Also...I don't know what the issue with Blogger is right now, but they've apparently decided that I don't need any fucking line breaks in anything that I write. Chumpwads. I've had a few songs that I just can't get out of my head lately. The Best I Ever Had - Gary Allen Now That You're Gone - Ryan Adams Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band I Bet That You Look Good on the Dance Floor - Arctic Monkeys So it ended up being 4. Sue me.

No Sacred Cows in the Republic

We're willing to make fun of just about anything...and while I know that some of you don't like all of the jokes being made about Brokeback Mountain, some of what I've come across is kind of funny. Star Wars: The Empire Brokeback (my favorite video clip so far)

Looking on the Bright Side

1) Being fired totally killed my appetite and will probably be better than any diet. 2) More time for job hunting. 3) More time for the gym. 4) I've gotten some really cool e-cards and thoughtful emails, all of which are much appreciated. 5) I've got plenty of time to travel! Now I just need to win the lotto tonight. I even have time to drive to one of the states that has Powerball, but I'd settle for winning the MegaMillions. 6) I have time to catch up on all of my reading. 7) More time for going and commenting on everyone else's blogs. Ummm...I'm working on thinking of more.

Send Me Your Tax Refunds!!!

Just in case I'm not able to collect unemployment. I was "terminated" today. Given my state of mind and that I'm kind of bummed about this, well...we'll just leave it at that for now. I'm going to avoid all of the gory details. The most humiliating part: Having an anxiety attack and being visibly upset as I was having to walk out of my upstairs office, my bag of things in hand, down the stairs to an office full of people, giving a few of my co-workers hugs goodbye, trying very hard to keep it together and just about losing it when I gave one of my favorite kids a hug before I left (I found out later that she was crying after I left). Then when I was out in the parking lot, was just able to catch one of the other kids. She's this little 18 year old lesbian who's so cute and sweet and smart and kind. She brought me some brownies for Valentine's Day. At least it wasn't a passing period where the kids would've been all over the place. I don't know that I could've handled that.

We Will Not Be Taken Over By Mr. Hypocrite!

I am calling out to all of you, our dear readers. Our friends. Our loyal patrons. Pinko Punko has banned, banned me from 3bulls.blogspot.com. Adorable Girlfriend. Everyone's favorite blogger! What the fuck? Dr. Liberal-We-Love-All,Serve Few and Talk-About-Pork-and-Nothing (DLWLASFTAPAN)thinks he is going to get away with this?! First the blog banning, then brain washing Res Publica into moving. What's next? Where will he stop? He sleeps with Chuckle's mother or steals one of Blue Girl's posts? Pinko is a force to be reckoned with. Lucky for us, I know just the contractors to deal with his sorry little pale white arse. Step One: Boycott new 3B! site, only visit old site and post like crazy! Step Two: TBA Same bat channel, same bat time, kids!

preview of coming detractions!

Okay, feel free to come on over and check out the Republic's new digs at blog.republicofdogs.net. It's definitely still under construction - the template's still generic, the links aren't even sort of done (so don't get mad if you don't see yours listed yet), and there's a million little other things I need to set up over there. However, the archives have been migrated, and it's up and running. One other thing: I've decided not to migrate the old comments. HaloScan has the nerve to want you to PAY to export the stupid shit other people have sprayed all over your blog! I think we all know just about how likely that is. Finally, please be patient. I am 100% new to WordPress, and I'm not exactly the kind of guy who carefully reads the instructions before using something new.

To-do list

Feel free to suggest ways to actually DO these things, because if I knew, I'd have already done them. 1. Back up the dubious contents of this blog. 2. Transfer said dubious contents to shiny, new WordPress Blog (with a capital B!). 3. Transfer snarky HaloScan comments re: said dubious contents to shiny, new WordPress Blog (with a capital B!). 4. Move my AdSense crap over to shiny, new WordPress Blog (with a...well, you know).

Ha Ha Ha! HA!

Which one of you choads nominated this shack for a Koufax? I'm actually really honored, although I think that this blog is in no way, shape or form the "Best New Blog" of 2005. But it does let me know that at least one or two of you find this amusing, so maybe I'll get off my lazy ass and put a little effort in.

Poster Boy

He talked about whether he was a Diva or not in his interview that aired on Tuesday night during the Olympics. Please do not let Johnny Weir become the poster boy for gay rights or pimple faced little girls. He is so tragic!
