I lie every day on the internet. It makes me happy.

It can't be a lie. Scythe didnt say that he ALWAYS lies, but that he "lies everyday", so we can assume that he simply likes to lie, but sometimes he lies and sometimes not. Chrolle claims that Scythe lies, maybe because he understood that he ALWAYS lies (Chrolle doesnt believe that) and it's not believable that somebody lies all the time, in literally every sentence.

That's why Zyx's sentence is a lie, because my sentence is true.

Ya know, with the pain meds going through me right now, the past few posts are truly mingd-boggling!

Happy today (Which is why I looked up this thread), because the shop did very well for sales. Plus I feel peaceful, partly due to three sets of pain meds going through me.

You know, I was going to do a long and complicated explanation, but I think I like the mystery better.

I WILL BE happy as soon as my neighbour finishes his nasty drillwork. I took a free day, wanted to watch the movie, but he decided to do the overhaul of his flat the very same day, so I woke up at 8 instead 11 as I planned and listen to industrial roars coming from behind the wall. So I will be REALLY REALLY happy after he finishes.

My point exactly - It could not be a lie because if it was then it was true that he lies proving that it was indeed a lie. Confused? I am.

I am happy because in 27 minutes my article number 100 on my blog is published. If that doesn't say "this guy is serious in hos work" then I dont know what does. :)

I am working on some more ideas as to getting more publicity, but I am not sure what I could be doing because the subject that this blog deals with is VERY narrow, and it is in Danish which more or less kills of chances of getting bigger on classic ideas, like wiki, stumbleupon, magazinepublishing etc.
But I am still VERY happy. :)

I am happy today because Maria is due to have our baby in less than a week.

Other reason I am happy, is that yesterday I signed a contract with an agency that supplies free or low-cost computers to charities as well as low-income families. They want me to rebuild 200 computers per month. We figured an average cost of $75 per unit. This contract is good for one year and can be renewed when it is time.

Maria, the new baby, and I, will all be living quite well!

The problem is, this contract will postpone our moving to Wisconsin for a few months while I transition the operations of my shop to another person. It will still be owned by me, but when I move north, I will set up a second location there, so I need someone here to manage and run things after I relocate.

Two shops. Things are indeed looking up for you. I wonder if a similar shop could be opened over here... I think there might be some markets for it here and there, but in general I believe it would be hard. I think you found your niche Raillo. And dont forget to come show pics of the little one once things are rolling for you. :)

Ive just discovered a "secret" held by FAMOUS people talking via internet. Not quite sure if I am happy, I wouldnt be happy being neither a common person discovering it nor, for example Barack Obama or Henning Mankell or Whitney Houston, being the "discovered" object.

The fact is, we are all equal at the basic level. If you, by any chance, reach president of USA via messenger tonight it might occur that Michelle is away and our Barack friend watches porn and finishes his fourth beer. Sure, sometimes he decides at whom to aim the nukes, but primarily he's just a guy, not quite different from all other.

So, who exactly rules this world if we are all the same in fact?

Maria is home with Skoda now. The hospital released them today. Both are doing quite well. I closed my shop for the day, to be with Maria and our new baby.

Outside of that, I am so tired right now I am working hard to find energy to complete this post.

Im pretty convinced that you are tired to read why Im happy, but anyway.

Exchanging random thoughts with close friend about my quitting of smoking I discovered a potential therapy theory that can be used (developed/modified of course) for addicted people of any sort (hopefully). Unfortunately, there's a weak point, you have to be more or less obsessive-compulsive. Being the person that used to count everything to four and stepping always on the single paving stone (never two at once!), just like Monk ;), I found that it is quite easy to quit something when you convince yourself that some kind of pattern isnt followed. You decide to quit smoking one day, and you dont smoke for one day, then for two days. Third day comes a desire to smoke, but you say to yourself - no, there's a pattern you must follow and this third day is just like the third step on the paving stone. You cant step on two at once, because it will break your inner feeling that you just broke something.

Random thoughts. 8)

AAAAaaawwwww!
I love your dog Zyx. It looks cute in all the pics you show. I am glad I dont have a dog myself anymore becuase the kids are taking up all my time, but somehow I still also miss having one - which has been 16 years counting since last. :)
My mom has one though, but he isn't all that cute - he is just big and in the way all the time...

I am happy today because we are looking at a house nearby, and it seems we can actually afford it - the bank just have to ok this. :) It looks pretty great in most areas, but the garden is really nice. And check this - it lines up to the fence at my work, so I can jump the fence and be at work in 10 seconds. :)
