Yesterday (12/26/2006), I added Road Sign #4 to my growing Road Sign Collection. Collecting Road Signs is like the cereal box promos: COLLECT ALL 75!...while supplies last!

My current collection consists of:
1) (107*107)cm^2; orange BG; black lettering; "DANGER, BRIDGE UNDER CONSTRUCTION, NO TRESPASSING"

2) (100*60)cm^2; white BG; black lettering; "ROAD CLOSED"

3) (103*25)cm^2; white BG; black lettering; "CONSTRUCTION ZONE, NO TRESPASSING"

4) (70*70)cm^2; the sign with the crossed-out black truck (think "no smoking" but a truck instead of Death-On-A-Stick)

I enjoy the thrill of Sign Collecting, and participating in such activity occassionally is one of my ways of being a Bad-Ass. I have hefty hand tools to retrieve the signs, but now all I need is a high-end digital camera (10-12+ megaPixel range), so that I can share my conquests with the deviantART community! I guess my analog Olympus TRIP AF 50 will be the picture-snapper for now....

After I removed Sign #4 from its fallen post, I explored the construction site around me. Alotta construction equipment and an old abandoned pickup truck....You'll be seeing abuncha cool shots of tractors and rusty trucks in the near future....

Also, I might go back and retrieve the fallen post from Sign #4, cuz I figure the post could make for a good hefty lance for my sparring training....

Recently, President Bush signed some bill that outlaws certain types of online money-making websites, Online Poker websites being an the List-To-Ban. My roommate Garrett was about to put some money into an Online Poker website, but that website "shut its doors" just in time to not accept his registration. So he found another Online Poker website within the hour.

On Friday (10/20/2006), he played Online Poker for most of his waking hours. All for a net gain of 0.50 USD!! I could probably sell my nonexistent cell phone on eBay, and fetch 0.51 USD for it! In the time that it took him to earn a net gain of 0.50 USD, I biked more than 20 miles, studied for my Computer Science exam, and then some.

By day's end, he lost all 50 USD that he deposited in the Poker website. Law of Averages: QUIT WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD.

I can't believe that some people actually spend their hard-earned money on pedicures and manicures at salons and booths at the malls! I stopped by my local mall a few days ago, and checked the pedicure prices at one of the salons: $20 upwards, and most of the pedicure patrons give a tip of at least 10%.

If I was in need of a pedicure, here is how I would go about executing my pedicure for alot less money:
Buy a sanding block from The Home Depot and a nail clipper from CVS and then DO MY OWN PEDICURE! Ditto for manicures.

Some salons also offer feet-cleaning lotion applications with a pedicure, for an extra cost of course. Since when did people become incapable of cleaning their own feet? Last time I checked, a bar of household soap and water is all one needs to clean one's epidermis in its entirety and under all nails too.

The need for a professional pedicure can be drastically reduced if one does not wear enclosed footwear day-in and day-out. Feet gotta breathe too, ya know....

All irons need distillled water to operate. This past week, my younger sister Adena bought a big square of denim from the fabric store and created a skirt for herself. As I watched Adena iron the denim, I conjured another amazing invention idea that I hope to design and implement in my next life: an iron that runs on Metamucil instead of distilled water!

Metamucil is the perfect fuel for an iron, because
1) It makes certain foods taste like SHIT when used in certain foods.
2) One who eats a balanced, healthy diet should not need a fiber supplement!

I can't wait to apply for a patent for this new scientific breakthrough [JK]! Leave me a message, and tell me what you think about my crazy invention idea!
