I was online on Facebook tonight when I got an instant message from Denny, my best friend’s mom. We instant messaged for an hour or more and when I got off, I got nostalgic and started looking at MySpace and the last messages I’d received from Eric before he died. As it turns out, I got one the night before he died, and it was a funny one, so I thought I’d post it. When I read it again, I laughed good and loud, trying to imagine it for real…

I had the pleasure of a prostate massage. It was quite uncomfortable and embarrassing. Luckily for me though it was a female doctor with small fingers. After she was done violating my ass, I pulled up my pants, turned to her and said (and I quote) “does this mean we’re dating?”

She turned a little red and said “Um, no.”

Holy crap, I can only imagine him saying that. You done good, buddy.

I got a call from Whitty this morning. “Check your email, you gotta see this.” So I did while we were on the phone and AWESOME!

I asked, “How long did they last?”

“They get to keep them until Monday, they went to school like that today.”

OH MY GOD, that is completely AWESOME!!!

I love how Alex (left) is so intent on looking like a badass that he forgot how to make his hands form the devil horns.  What are you doing, pointing?  At what?  And that’s not really a good pointer either!  Neither hand is making a decent pointer!  That and the fact that he’s such a sweet kid, he can’t quite pull off Badass anyway.  Tyson on the other hand?  He’ll make his first call from jail by the time he’s 18.

I think I got it all back. I was with Whitty earlier today and he mentioned that the one thing about web code that sucks is the fact that it’s so dry that it always takes an hour to get back into the groove. If you get up on step and then step away from it for a day or two, you have to go through that process all over again and it takes another hour to get back into it. And that’s coming from a guy who does this for a living. I’m a full on retard when it comes to this stuff, so takes me forever to figure the crap out. I got a double dose here, because my computer (which had all of my templates on it) got stolen a few months back and I haven’t been able to FTP photos into the server since then, so I wasn’t sure I’d get ‘er back. But I did, mostly because the various programs and services I’m using have gotten much easier and better in even the last 6 months.

Whatever, you don’t care, here are photos. More later. Holy shit, it’s 4am. GREAT!!! All the tv stations are selling the Shamwow, or Cash for Gold, or Make Your Dingdong Real Long! I gotta straighten my crap out. This new job is killing me cuz I don’t have to be anywhere except to learn more about web code. And then I think, “Hey! I don’t have to be anywhere! Why am I whining about how late I’m staying up?”

The struggle continues… Photos…

It would appear that in the move I’ve lost most of my images. I backed them up on my computer in case such a thing were to happen, so we’ll get to work on reintroducing them back to the site. It may take a while, but feel free to bitch at me if you wanted to see something that used to be here. I might get off my butt and put it back up.

Some of you may be wondering, “How come no more Chewy?” or “Chewy disappeared!  What for?”  Well it’s a bit of a story.

I went with my webmaster out to a friend’s house to watch football and also to move my site from one server to another.  Why would we want to do that?  Because Mr Webmaster is tired of being a do-it-yourselfer.  He used to do all the work on his house, his cars, his computers and websites….all of it, he’d do it himself.  But no longer.  No, no longer because the time saved is well worth the expense.  So my site had to leave the server farm in his dungeon and move to a pay webhost server thingie.  The bonus is that we can now bitch and yell at a total stranger if our sites go down, instead of offering sexual favors and beer to our buddy to fix the servers.  Ewwwwwwwww!!!

So we moved the site from one server to another.  However, in so doing, we somehow managed to enable my site to suffer what is known as DNS Cache Poisoning.  If you’ve tried to come to my site in the last week, you know that shit wasn’t exactly kosher, and that is the result of DNS Cache Poisoning.  What the hell is that?  I won’t go into it too far, but here’s an easy analogy.  Imagine that you wanted to write me a letter at my home address.  You’d address it to me and put it in the mail.  That’s essentially how the web works, you type in an address and your computer screen shows you what’s at the address you expected to be taken to.  Okay, now imagine that there’s a shitty little bastard gnome who takes everything addressed to me and he takes it to some other address where a bunch of Czech mafia guys live and they’re trying to tell you that A) there’s no such person as Chewy and B) for a lot of money they can take you to him.

That’s DNS Cache Poisoning.  Crappy to have happen to your personal website.

Okay, boys n girls, now we know what happened to my site, let’s find out what’s next!  Well, I gotta redo the look cuz I lost all the other crap.  And maybe other things too….I don’t know.

Stay tuned!!!
