Well I have some bad news for the hotel. They have been asking me about helping them with a website for the hotel (vote in the poll). I also have been waiting on the Public Library to get back to me. The Library ladies had asked about me helping them almost a year ago and I had been waiting to hear from them.

So this means that I will not help the hotel with their website. And really I can’t be happier. I’ve been looking for a reason to tell the hotel no and I finally have it. Does that sound bitter? Well your right. I don’t care that the people who fired me from that hotel are not there any longer. I hold a grudge against the whole place whether it be past present or future.

That place fired me and I guess I hold the grudge against the hotel. It’s become an entity to me. Not just a place, but a monster that eats people with no remorse. So this decision doesn’t bother me one bit. And I’m happy this worked out like this.

It sucked. I’m sorry but this one can’t be argued. If you disagree, your wrong. It’s not a matter of opinion, it sucks and that is a fact.

It was all wrong. And that is something I can’t understand for the life of me. How can this movie suck when they have such excellent source material?

All these pinheads had to do was follow the stories from the classic comics. And I’m not talking about the the original stuff that Stan Lee wrote. Sure some of that was good. No when I say source material I refer to the great Frank Miller run on the comic in the early/late 80’s. Man that was good stuff.

One point that really irks me. Is how they changed the accident that made DareDevil what he is. What we have in the movie is the kid getting his powers and blindness in a stupid accident pretty much caused by himself. What does this add? In the original DareDevil gets his powers in an accident sure. But he gets in that accident saving an old guy. That’s heroic. That say’s a lot about the character. The movie version just cheapens the character of DareDevil. It’s to bad.

Another point and then I’m done ranting. Did you notice that DareDevil killed more than a few people? Either directly or indirectly, he killed people? That’s another thing I don’t remember about the character.

Well they all can’t be as good as the Batman or Spider-Man movie. Here’s hoping that the Hulk and the second X-Men movie are better than this piece of shit.

The 3 R’s, 4 F’s Are Dead! Long Live The 3 R’s, 4 F’s! It is a tragic moment in the history of the hotel. I want a moment of silence. Ok that was enough. Carry on. Here they are one last time:

The Three R’s
• Real
• Responsive
• Responsible

The Four F’s
• Fair
• Friendly
• Fun
• Firm

Here is a neat download that will let you highlight any text and with a right click of your mouse search my website. And this works from any webpage, it doesn’t have to be mine. The file to download is here.Unzip this useing something like winzip and stick hb.htm in the root of your drive. Which is usually c:\. The hbmenu.reg can go any where you want. But you have to click it to make it work. It just adds a bit to your registry and is harmless, I promise.

This is all thanks to the Screen Savers and one of their own Kevin Rose. You can find the original files and a small bit on how to do this in one of their Free Download of the Day pages.

So you can see there is a new poll running. The last one is now officially over. That one was kind of rigged from the start. I never had any attention to do a website for the hotel. That’s just the way it is and nothing no one can say can change my mind on the subject.

Which brings me to the new poll. I find it interesting on just how many of you actually know me. In the real world, that is. Because I think the majority of you people don’t know me. So it makes me wonder why that hotel that is the place of my employment gets flustered by what I do here. That is of course if they even give a shit about this site.

So if you have a chance go vote in this poll.

My Sobos are in the new again. Potthoff leaving on a high note and Potthoff to leave Sobos are two articles telling about how the Sobo Coach is leaving for greener pastures. I don’t know what to say. Here is a blurb from the second story:

“The seniors were happy for me and glad that we’re moving on at the same time,” Potthoff said. “But there were some underclassmen who looked a little upset, and it’s going to be very difficult for me to leave them.”

Apparently it won’t be that difficult for Potthoff to leave them, huh? And sure what do these Senior who are graduating really care if their coach leaves. These guys had a great run and it really doesn’t matter any more for them. But what about these underclassmen? I would be a little upset also. Here is another bit from that second story:

The move is good not only for Potthoff’s career, but also for his family. He and his wife, Marsha, have lived in Woodstock for seven years. His commute to work will now be 15 minutes instead of 55 minutes.

So the way it sounds not only money is a factor, but the convenience of being close to home also plays into his difficult departure form South Beloit. And I can’t blame him there. This is a definite case of tough love. Now I don’t want to sound harsh. But I guess I am. I think whatever Potthoff’s motivation (good or bad) it is a blow to the people and any future football team of South Beloit.

It’s unfortunate this is happening, whatever the reasons. But the Sobos have been down before (I’m not saying their down now) and have came back when no one thought they would. Coaches also come and go. This is another one of those things. Be it for money or because of bullshit school politics. These abandoned underclassmen have got to keep a chin up. And even if this seems to be that their coach is deserting them (and he is). These kids have got to remember that (and I don’t care who say’s differently) they won this championship, not the coaches. And if they have the heart and the determination they can do it again, even without the great Potthoff.

So for the last three days my high speed internet connection at home has been dead. I’m a little pissed at the fine folks at Charter Support. I’ve called these clowns a total of three times. After the first call I had their procedure down step by step.

It’s kind of amazing how there are only a handful of things they can suggest for you to do. The second call the wonderful guy at Charter Support told me more or less it was my problem. The words he used were that I had a software or hardware problem on my end. Jeez could you cover yourself a little better than that?

Fuck this really pisses me off. Just the fact I have to use my back up AOL account pisses me off even more at these fucking clowns at Charter Support. But at least I’m on the net. That’s what I keep telling myself.
