It took him about the amount of time he expected to walk back to his apartment. Once back there he took a look around his apartment and decided that it needed a little sprucing up but, with what. He decided that he needed some plants in his apartment and he also thought some new paint was in order. The apartment was so dark and dreary that a little lightening up was what it needed.

What kind of plants to buy? He thought maybe some ferns and dwarf fruit trees. He was not sure which plants were able to grow indoors with low light. Sure he thought he could ask the clerks at a nursery but, he decided to buy some plants and see if they would grow and if those plants did not grow Stetson would buy different types of plants until he found plants that worked.

For the pant the room was green but Stetson want the room more homey so he choose to paint it in a dark pink. And he would also redo his bed cover and get a pink cover and heck he would get everything else in the rooms to be pink. He thought the color was calming and he was always so tense and anxious that he thought he could use a little calming.

He had decided what he wanted to do now he had to figure out how to do it. "I want to purchase all of the goods over the internet because then I won't have to talk to people or see them and that will be fine by me. Now he had to decide which websites to buy from. He decided on The Web Store That Has Everything.

The Web Store That Has Everything dot com was started by a women names Georgina Winston. She had made millions in real estate and was looking for a place to invest her money and as this was around the year 2000 of course someone suggested that she should start a web store. And so that is what she did even thought Georgina knew nothing about computers or the internet but, she was a fast learner so she was confident that she could learn. It took her longer then she expected but she did learn about how to use a computer and the web. And one thing she realized is that she did not much like either. Though she did want to learn how to make computer programs other than that she thought that life without a computer was better than with a computer. That did not mean that she did not want to still start a web store it just ment that she would hire someone else to run it instead of running it herself. And so the Web Store That Has Everything was born.

The business started off slow but, then picked up speed. And Georgina was grateful for her businesses success. This was the website where stetson decided to buy all his supples for his apartment.

He debated wether to go into the ice cream parlor. And decided to go in even though there were lots of people and he might have to say hi to someone but, so what he really wanted an ice cream cone.

His favorite flavor of ice cream was chocolate chip so decided to order ten chocolate chip ice cream cones. Why order just one when he could order as many as he wanted. He was not sure how long it would take him to eat that many ice cream cones. But, he would get them all eaten. He ordered the ice cream and sat down at a booth while the clerk made them and it would take a minute or two because there were so many cones to be made. One the clerk finished making them he brought them to Stetsons booth on a giant platter.He tried to say hi and be friendly to stetson but stetson just ignored him and waved his hand to shoo the clerk away. He did not want to start being friendly to people after all the years of not being friendly to people.

Stetson immediately dug into one of the chocolate chip ice cream cones and ate it in just a few bites and stated to have the worst ice cream headache of his life. It was at that moment that he remember why he stopped eating ice cream in the first place. He stopped because he aways ate the ice cream to fast and got lots and lots of ice cream headaches which made he feel miserable. So that is why he went cold turnkey on the ice cream.

He started in on the second chocolate chip ice cream cone and vowed to eat it slow so as not to get the dreaded ice cream headache. And so he made it happen and do not get a headache. He looked out the window to watch passerby. He saw a women pushing her baby in a stroller and man walking his immaculately groomed poodle. He was beginning to enjoy himself. He even thought that he might start walking around the city on a regular basis. Though he still did not want to talk to people or look them in the eye.

He preceded to eat the rest of the ice cream cones without incident. He had already payed for the cones so after he finished eating all but, one he walked out of the ice cream parlor and onto the still sunny streets of computer city. It was getting late though so he decided to head back to his apartment. The sun was going down so he had to hurry as he was afraid of the dark. He decided to walk back the way he came and so it would take him about an hour or two to get back to his apartment and luckily it would not be dark before he got back to his apartment.

It was midday now and Stetson was growing restless to move on so he decided to get up off the bench and stretch in preparation for a walk that would take him past the computer city café. He was really enjoying the outdoors now. After he stretching he was off and walking as opposed to off and running.

There were still know people around witch suited Stetson just fine. He wondered what they could be doing and then he realised that the final game of the CBA(Comedian Basketball league was on and everyone was probably watching that. He read in the newspaper that the CBA finals was projected to have the biggest viewing audience of the year. Almost everyone in computer city would have their televisions tuned to the game. Except Stetson who did not watch Basketball. Weightlifting was his favorite sport to watch. He also liked watching Bodybuilding competitions. He could not imagine lifting all those heavy weights himself but, he did imagine what it would be like sometimes though he knew that he would never be able to become a bodybuilder because he could not stand being around so many people all the time. But, who knows he thought someday he might enjoy being around people and become a bodybuilder. Stranger things have happened.

The sidewalks were still bad down by the waterfront but, still walkable barely. The sun was now starting to get a little cooler and the breeze was picking up He walked past the computer city bakery and could smell the fresh bread and pastries the were baking and set out in the display cases. He wished he could go in and buy one but there were people in the baker so he did not want to go in and she he just had to walk by.

The bakery on the outside was just as beautiful as the pastries on the inside. It was a turn of the century building. The twentieth century not the twenty-first century. It had beautiful molding and the paint job was pink and white and every window had flower boxes with flowers that had spectacular blooms. The flowers were replaces as soon as they stopped blooming so that people walking by would always have fresh flowers to view as the walked by the bakery.

Stetson kept on walking with dreams of pastries and cakes in his head. He heard planes flying overhead again and he wondered again where the plane came from and what airline it was from. He kept waking for about a block until he walked by the computer city ice cream parlor. It was an old time ice cream parlor with furniture and waiters and waitresses in fifties uniforms. He had been in the ice cream parlor once and even had a cup of chocolate chip ice cream.

The Robot Maker, Page 3

He walked out the door of the apartment building and turned left onto 2nd street. He walked past a row of newly remodeled apartment buildings. He admired the way that the remodel went as the buildings looked great and would surely command lots of money for rent from the new renters.

The sidewalk was in bad shape with cracks and pot holes everywhere but, that would be remedied in a months time because the computer city municipal construction company would resurface all the side walks around the city witch was a job that would take a good six months because the city was so big but, it would be worth it with the sidewalks being better and all.

Stetson hear and airplane fly overhead and he looked up and thought to himself that that was probably a jumbo jet that belonged to the computer city airline. He wondered where it was coming from and weather the jet was full of passengers as the airline was not doing well in its competition with airlines that were outside computer city. It was thought that the airline might be shut down but stetson did not think it would because he was sure computer city officials would want a home grown airline. Sure Stetson was not a people person but, he liked to keep up with the news of the city by reading all the computer city newspapers. He liked to read the paper version as opposed to the electronic computer version that was on the internet because sitting behind a computer made him feel trapped and he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

He continued walking for two blocks until he got to the computer city waterfront. He adored the waters as it made him feel free and alive. He was glad that no one was outside today so he did not have to ignore anyone and could look around and not worry about making eye contact with anyone. Birds were making noise and flying around the water the view was magnificent. He vowed to come to the waterfront more often. And he always did what he did, sometimes.

He decided to sit on a bench and watch the birds and enjoy the wind since it was a magnificent day and he did not want to hurry back inside since he was inside for most of his life and he needed a change even if it was for only one day. He saw a person in the distance and was going to move so he could avoid the person but, then the person turned onto a side street so the catastrophe was avoided without incident. Lucky for Stetson. He was the happiest that he could remember being in decades. And that was saying something.

The wind was blowing the leaves of the tress and he adored the noise of the trees rustling in the wind.

Robot Maker, Page 2

"Its not that I don't like people" Stetson said. "Its just than I am not comfortable around them. I don't feel that I have anything interesting to add to any conversations so I stay silent and never make eye contact or talk to anyone except once in awhile" He said to his only friend.

Some of his hobbies were watching television, reading, writing but he did not use the internet except for work as he saw it the internet was best when it was used for a purpose and not entertainment.

His favorite hobby was playing video games. He did not like using a computer like a desktop or laptop to play his games. He much preferred to use a dedicated video game console such as the Star Galactic game console. He sometimes would play for days at a time if he had time of from his dish washing job. Sun up to sun down and he had the time of his life. Video games to him were adventure store where a person could be in the center of the action and shape events sure the were not real but, they were fun.

His favorite video games was = Storm desert was = He had played that game over and over and over again. The player was a one man special forces team who had to save the world from some of the worst criminals. Hank Tank was his name. He had to fly all over the world on assignment by the government and stop bad things from happening or before they got bad enough that they reached the news.

It was a life that Stetson wanted to live but, knew he never would so playing a video games was the next best thing. Stetson had a dream of over a five year period of playing as many video games as he could manage. He though that was a great dream and within his power of accomplishing. The dream included beating those games before he played the next game and since he was not the greatest video games player he could not estimate how many games he would play over that five years time.

But, that dream would have to be accomplished after he built robots. And who know how long it would take him to make the robots he wanted to make. One day he decided to go outside for a little relaxation and walk around computer city. The was sunny, warm and with a big breeze which made it the perfect day for walking around the city because Stetson knew he would not get sweaty or to hot so he could enjoy the walk. He took the elevator to the first floor of his apartment building and when the mail women behind the desk said hi Stetson he ignored her and kept walking out the door.

Robot Maker, Page 1

Stetson Anderson was a lonely man. He had always desired the perfect women but, did not have the courage or social skills to go up to any women and ask her out. So he knew he would spend the rest of his life alone and miserable.

He dabbled in computer programming for years without making anything of consequence and seeing that he would never be able to attract a women or friends he decided to make them. So he stated studying the field of robotics.

He figured that to be able to have enough knowledge to build himself some friends it would take hime years and years of hard work witch he was not afraid of. He decided to start building robots right away even though it would take years to be able for him to build the robots he wanted to build. He shopped online and bough dozens of robot kits in including, robot dogs, cats, vacuum cleaners, spiders. He would build these to keep him going until the day arrived when he could order parts that were not part of a kit and build the robots he wanted.

He knew he would have to improve as a computer programmer so he could program the robots he built and he knew he would improve because now he had the motivation to do so. He did not want to fail as a robot maker.

The robot building was only his hobby though he did have a day job as a dishwasher at the computer city café. Since he was not what one would call a people person he went to his job but, never spoke to anyone avoiding eye contact because he did not want to engage anyone in conversation. He was not uncomfortable around people he just did not enjoy talking to them. And he certainly could never picture himself talking to a woman.

So a life alone it was for Stetson. He never even said hi to anyone just walking by. He always went in the back entrance of the café so as to minimise the possibility that he would see anyone who would try to talk to him. He washed dishes for two hours straight and then he was given a break and since he wanted to avoid people he would go out the back entrance and find a hidden corner and smoke a cigarette. He liked to watch his health but, he always wanted to keep moving so he took up smoking and that meant he would spend more money than he wanted to but, that was ok. After his smoke break it was back to dish washing for another two hours then it was time to go home and watch television and read his books that he got from the library.

Laura Poker Player, Page 4, The end

And then after she bought the building she was going to paint it all pink because of the calming effect the color had on her.

She once confided to a friend that her biggest fear is that she would die and never accomplish her goals of leaving her mark on the world. Sure she did not want to be a teacher but, she wanted to make a contribution to society. She wanted to get herself to live forever by getting into the history books by working in science or computer programming. She did not want to play poker of video games all her life. She figured that maybe computer programming was it because as she saw it computer programs live for ever if they were published on the internet. Or if she made some big discovery in astronomy or what about nanotechnology.

The possibilities were endless. "I can never make up my mind on what I want to do with the rest of my life." She said to a friend. "I start and then think I want to do something else and then I go back to the thing I stopped doing before I started doing the know project and I just keep going around in circles like a hamster on one of those wheels. What I need is discipline to see a project or endeavour to the end no matter if I get bored or tired of it in the middle just get it done and if I don't like my new hobby then I can move on and try something else.

Because the way she saw herself that once she decided to do or get involved in something that she would get it done and do a solid job even if she was not the best or the brightest. She just had trouble making up that mind as to what she wanted to do.

But, she would keep working to change and someday she would change and there would be a new person and that person would be the new her. That person she had always wanted to be all her life. Someone with confidence and drive and would finish what she started and not leave a project unfinished. Until that time she would keep working to change and as I already mentioned change she would in a big way.

"Sometimes that fact that I don't have a relationship with a boyfriend or a husband bothered her too. As she once mentioned to a friend that sometimes she felt lonely even though she had many many friends. The regret quickly end when she remember her luck with picking that special someone. No luck that is what she had with men. Her last boyfriend was a lier and a thief. She tricked her into giving him thousands of dollars for a business that never really existed. It was later discovered that he was married and had used the money she had given him to support his wife and kids and to take his other mistresses out on dates to fancy restaurants and to the movies and on vacations to tropical islands.

So getting involved with a man was not what she wanted to do anytime soon or for that matter ever again. She said to one friend "I will wait for a company to come out with a male robot and I will buy one and we will live happy ever after because I sure can't see myself being happy with a human male." So she had a good life with some big disappointments but all in all it was a solid life. The end.

Laura Poker Player, Page 3

So Laura had a full life with many friends even if she did not have a romantic relationship. A typical day for Laura would be to get up at about 8:00am eat a breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast.

Then she would work out for two hours with a professional trainer. "I have to workout because I don't get much exercise any other way because I am sitting at poker tables or at my computer or playing video games in front of my big screen television." She told one interviewer for the computer city daily. Yep and all the working out paid off with a great figure. She even had participated in some bodybuilding competitions.

After her grueling workout she would have a light snack. She ate 5 to 6 little meals a day instead of 3 bigger ones. So she would have enough energy for the day. After the snack it was not time to sit in front of her computer for some poker playing. She played a downloadable game called Just poker which had a single person mode, a multi player online mode. She played both modes but, she liked to play people because they were better poker players than the computer.

She would also snack on fruit while playing the poker game on her computer. She played for about two hours at a time and then would take a break for two hours two clean her house, do errands, practice her vido game playing, go to the beach or do anything she had planned that particular day. She did not like to do the same thing everyday so she mixed things up when it came to the time between poker playing. Then she would play poker for another two to three hours on her computer until it was about 4:30pm in the afternoon.

At that time she would head to the computer city casino for some real live poker playing until late into the night. 11:30pm to be exact was the time that she headed for home happy and contented after hours of socializing and poker fun. Before bed she would sometimes have a shower but, always a light snack and then it was off to dreamland as she had no trouble falling asleep after her tiring day. She could not wait for the next day to star and some more fun to be had and there was always fun in her life even if to the outsider her life looked less than exciting. To her it was the life of hr dream and this is what she wanted to do until she died.

Yes its true Laura was a very happy woman. Someday soon she planned on buying the apartment building she lived in even though she did not like the responsibility of home ownership.

Laura The Poker Player, Page 2

Laura lived in the computer city motel. Preferring to live out of a suitcase rather than have the hassle of a house. The hotel room was decorated all in pink. The walls were pink, the carpet was pink shag carpet, The bed spread was pink. It was a great place to live. It was very calming.

Laura in addition to being a professional poker player was a big video game player. So she had a 55 inch big screen television along with a home theater system and as many game consoles as she could afford. She not only like playing the newest games and consoles she also like playing the very fist consoles and games. She was a pretty good video game player but, she did not want to go pro because she thought she could make more money as a poker player. And she was right.

She liked to play video games at least two hours a day to keep up her talents. She did play in video game tournaments when there was a week or weekend when there were no poker tournaments occasionally. She did ok but, needed more practice to become good. But she was proud of her performances.

She had a goal of someday playing and beating as many video games as she could within five years. But, for now she was happy being a poker player. She played poker fifty weeks out of the year mostly at the computer city casino. And she made a decent living too. Fifty thousand dollars a year most years and since she did not spend much beyond rent and food she was starting to save up a large amount of money. She only put the money in the bank as she did not know about or like to make investments.

Her best friend was from high school. Lima Winston also grew up in a upper middle class house hold but, unlike laura she chose to become a scientist. But, she supported Laura's dream of becoming a world class poker player and would watch all the tournaments was involved in on television since she had a busy life. Like Laura, Lima was also a video game fanatic and would also participate in the video game tournaments that Laura would go to. She was not as good of a player but, she was good enough to win some prize money. She like Laura had given up on romantic relations ships in favor of her work as she had had no luck in love and decided to give it up in favor of her science. She did not get lonely living alone because she had many many friends and besides she did not have time for a romantic relationship since she was up late into the night always working on her next science experiment.

My best vacation was probably when my family went to Disney Land when I was young. I believe we also visited the queen mary, The Spruce goose, and knotts Barry Farm.

I remember walking back to the hotel, Going to the fire works display on main street at Disney Land in the evening and just plain having a good time. I don't have many memories but, I do remember the fun of being on vacation and being young.

I don't like to share candy especially skittles since skittles is my favorite candy. Its my candy and no one else should be able to eat it. It you want candy go buy you own.

Laura, The poker player, Page 1

Laura was a poker player who mostly played poker games at the computer city casino. She did not start out with a dream to become a professional poler player. She was born into a upper class computer city family. Her parents were Ted and Trisha. Her parents were both professional types. Her father was a professor and her mother was also a professor at computer city community college. So she was under pressure from an early age to be a good student and get good grades and become some type of professional.

While she got good grades in school she had no desire to become a professor. Since an early age she had always wanted to be a professional poker player again her parents wishes. But, eventually the relented and accepted her decision.

Growing up she was happy go lucky and made friends easily. Which made the choice of poker all the more suitable. Her first poker tournament was an armature event at the computer city community center and Laura finished the event in 12th place which she was happy about.

She would spend hours playing poler on her computer and on weekends play tournaments at the computer city casino. All the practice make her a pretty good poker player. Witch was something that she was proud of.

She decided to focus on her poker playing career and not on romantic relationships. She figured that she did not need a relationship like that. Sure she thought it would be nice to have a significant other but, if it did not happen it was not the end of the world. Besides she liked living alone and did not want to waste the time looking for someone who might not exist. Why risk the possibility of a bad relationship and being miserable when she could do what she wanted to and be happy. She also did not see not being married or not having a boyfriend as being alone. As long as she had friends she felt she would never be alone.

It took Laura awhile until she won her first poker tournament at the computer city casino which made it all the better when she did when since she enjoyed it so much more than probably she would have if she had won on her first try. When she realised she won she jumped up into the air and then when over to hug the man she had just beaten, James Car. She was not a poor winner.

She lived in a small house which she was able to afford from the inheritance her parents had left her in their will when the were killed in a car crash in computer city. It was a great place to live.

James Motorcycle Racer

James traveled to tracks with his pit crew. He traveled in a motor home and his dirt bikes rode in a tractor trailer. It might seem like overkill since all the races were around computer city but, some of the races were far enough from his house that James would have had to stay at a hotel overnight for the race and he did not like staying at hotels so that is why he had the motor home.

He and his crew would leave two days before a race and arrive at the race race track probably three or four hours later after fighting their way through rush hour traffic. Then James would make lunch for the whole crew and everyone would eat under an awning that was attached to the motor home.

Lunch was always the same. Hot dogs, French fries, and chilli, salad, and potato salad. It was a feast. After lunch the team would unload the motorcycles at the track for practice and since the motor home was close to the track they would walk back to the motor home and talk strategy before a dinner of potato salad and chicken was served with chocolate cake for desert.

Then there would be singing by the camp fire while roasting marshmallows. The days on the road were some of the best days of James life. After the singing everyone would retire to the motor home for a nigh of watching dvds. Since James was a big movie fanatic. He always bought 5 to 10 dvds a week just for the race weekend. Everyone always had fun on the race weekends also.

James would then go to sleep and sleep well. He woke up at the first light of dawn so he could walk to the track and spend two hours testing and tweaking his motor cycle to get into perfect race condition. He had to learn quickly how to work on his motorcycle since he know nothing about mechanical things when he first started racing. Yes, he learned a lot in a short amount of time. SO as it turned out the racing was the easy part and the preparation for the race was the hard part since it took a lot of James time. The races would last an hour. After the race James would take a shower and have a snake of fruit salad and soda. That would help him relax while he watched a film of the race so he could dissect his performance. So he could get better for the next race. He always did anything he could to improve as a competitor and worked as hard as he could to get better. And that was one thing that James was good at and the was working hard and he was sure it would payoff in his racing. The end

James dirt bike racer

James was a motorcycle racer. He started racing motorcycles since his fist year of high school. He began as a way to make extra spending money for his wild weekend parties.

He had never even ridden a motorcycle before he just tried motorcycle racing because someone said he could never do it and he wanted to prove that person wrong. That first race was in 1992 and he did poorly. He finished in last place actually because he kept falling off his motorcycle until about the last lap of the race. Luckily he was not run over by the other racers. Even though he did so badly in that first race he loved every minute of racing that motorcycle.

Then he decided to join the computer city motorcycle association. It was made of profession motorcycle rides. Sure it was a big step going from riding in one race and the becoming a professional motorcycle rider. But, he thought he could make the jump and more important to the motorcycle association he had the money to pay the dues. He also had his rich father make a donation.

For his first association race he improved a little. He was able to stay on the dirt bike and the was a major accomplishment as far as he was concerned. The association consisted of 38 races that were held all around computer city and sponsored by various businesses the were located in the city.

Race days were big events in computer city with parades and lunch served by vendors in the streets of computer city. James had never been much of an association fan so he had not participated in the big spectacle of the race day as a fan. But, he became away of how big race days were after he became a racer.

The motorcycle he used for racing is a modified computer city motorcycles dirt bike. He bought the cheapest dirt bike he could find since he was not made of money and he liked the challenge of turning a sub standard bike into a top flight racer. He then took the dirt bike to computer city dirt bike modifiers and had it modified to make it go faster which it did.

Race days were a busy day for James. He would get up at 5:00am and have breakfast at 5:30am then go to the track and get his bike ready to race with the help of his crew. He then would eat a fruit salad and take a thirty minute nap and the go to his motorcycle. He was already dressed in his fire suit at this point. It would be nearing race time now. He would be as calm as on a summers day vacation. He had ice in his vains.

Mark who lost his hair brush

Mark was already having a bad day since he was running late for a meeting. He spent the night before partying with his friends when he knew he should be asleep. He always good nervous before a big meeting at the office and so he could not sleep and when one of his friends called and asked if he wanted to go bar hopping.

He knew he should not go but, he went anyway. He would have a sleepless night anyway so why not have some fun. Though he thought he should not drink to much beer. He did not go easy on the beer and drank way to much. The bar hopping lasted for only one bar because his friends decided to stay at the computer city bar and grill. Mark returned to his apartment at around 3:00am to try to get an hour or so of sleep before he had to get up and prepare for the meeting. He did get some sleep but, not nearly enough though there was nothing he could do about that. The next hours past fast and before Mark knew it it was time to go to the office for his presentation.

The was one final thing he had to do before he left. He had to brush his hair with his favorite hair brush. But, he could not find it. He started to panic. He had to find that brush.

The hair brush had been with him since the first day of high school. His mother had given it to him for a gift. It had a gold handle with the logo of his favorite sports team on it and the bristles were long and many. He used it to brush his hair for everyday of high school and then into college. He had become attached to that hair brush and even given it a name. He named it Tom quixotic because it was so mysterious he could never tell what it was thinking or feeling.

Fast forward to Mark panicking about not being able to find the brush before his meeting. He looked in the couch under the couch. Under the television entertainment center. He searched the apartment high and low. He even searched the place that he remembered leaving it last but, still no luck. Then he decided to go out to his car and search there and what do you know he found the hair brush on his dashboard. How did it get there he did not know. And he did not want to know. His house was locked and he had all his materials for his presentation. So know mark was happy but, behind schedule. The end.

The Man Who Was Afraid To Fall In Love

This a story about Daniel The Man Who Was Afraid That He Might Fall In Love. Sometimes he thought he was afraid to like anyone. He was afraid to fall in love because he liked his space and he liked not having to discus anything with anyone say with a girlfriend or a wife.

The root of his not wanting to fall in love started in high school. He adored a girl named Luisa. He knew that she had feeling for him because every time he was around her he felt great. She let him know that she liked him without using words or so he thought anyway. He always wanted to talk to her but, he never got up the courage to say hi and that always destroyed him inside when ever he saw her that he could not even say those two little letters to the woman he adored.

Then one day Luisa did not show up for school. He heard some of his fellow students talking about her and he overheard that she and her family had moved to a town far far away from computer city. He was devastated. He cried and cried for about a week thinking that he would never see her again and thus never be able to tell her how he felt about her. He obsessed for years after the last time he saw her about the fact that he never told her how he really felt. But eventually he realized that he would be able to live without her but, he decided he never wanted to feel the loss of the women he loved so he decided right then and there never to let himself fall in love.

He knew that it he might come to regret his decision but, he thought there were a lot of good things about being single and never allowing himself to worry about love. One positive was that he could focus on his work instead of worrying about finding the One women he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He would not have to worry about the pain of a relationship breakup. That equals a lot less wasted time in his life and so far he had wasted a lot of time in his life and not falling in love was just another thing that he got rid of in his life that wasted time.

Free of the worry of falling in love he was now free to pursue his dream. Which Unfortunately he hand not found yet. He kept trying as many jobs as he could to find out what he liked doing the best. Daniel thought the more he tried the better the chance that he would find something he liked. The End

Buds Best Years, Page 58

Then Bud went back to his house for a good day of watching television and then he took a shower and went to bed with visions of ducks dancing in his head. The next morning Bud got up early to watching the playoff of the CBA. It was going to be a day of fun watching basketball and eating popcorn on the couch. Some people would consider it a wasted day but, Bud did not consider it a wasted day because if he had fun then it was not a waste of his time.

Bud was not rooting for any particular team he just wanted to enjoy watching the games. He certainly enjoyed watching basketball. After watching the playoffs but, went outside to burn off some energy that had built up watching the basketball games. So he went to his basketball court to practice his shot. He shot 3-ponters for half an hour and then went in the house to watch movies and eat dinner. The day just flew by and Bud had a wonderful day. He was excited for tomorrow because that was when he would have a pool party.

Bud woke up and jumped out of bed because of the aforementioned pool a part. He had a lot to do before all the guests arrived. He had to take the food from the refrigerator and set it out on the tables. He also had to put up an umbrella's up on each of the tables to protect the guests from the sun. He did not want the guest at a party he was throwing get a sun tan and with the umbrellas would insure that.

He set out the plates and plastic silverware. He folded the napkins into little hats and put them on the plates. The was also little vases that were to go into the center of the tables. Things were starting to look good. What a party he was going to have. The band was scheduled to arrive in five minutes.

The band was named Bobby and the programmers. It was started in 1986 By a man named Bobby and Ted, tom, Sam. The were an up and coming band. The band was now a top band after 10+ years of obscurity. The song that put them on top is - I can't program and I don't - it was a great song. Bob was a failed programmer. He had big dreams of being a programmer but, he never seemed to make the jump from being an average programmer to being the programmer he always wanted to be. And at this point in his life he did not care. And that is where he came up with the idea of the lyrics for the hit song.

Buds Best years, Page 57

After thinking about that horrible death Bud had to get his mind on something more positive. So Bud ran from where ever he was to find the nearest basketball court. Since he has his high tops on and he always carried around a basketball in a duffel bag he was ready for a game against the basketball rim.

He dribbled the ball and went left and took the ball baseline and jumped and dunked the ball with a thunderous dunk. He took the ball out of the hoop and went to the 3-point line and took the shot and the shot went of the rim with a thud. Bud ran to the ball and grabbed it dribbled to five feet from the hoop and jumped and dunked the ball again.

Bud took the ball from the basket and decided to practice his dribbling. He first dribble between his legs and then dribbled back and forth in front of his body and then dribbled between his legs to the basket and threw the ball towards the rim and jumped for another dunk but he missed the dunk and the ball popped out of the rim and went toward the baseline 3-point line. He ran towards the ball and grabbed it and shot before he had time to set up for the shot and to his amazement the shot went into the basket with a swish.

Bud grew tired of shooting baskets so he decided to go for a jog as it was a nice day. He started jogging and he instantly felt more positive about life. He jogged past the computer city bar and grill and then he went past the computer city lake and the lake was looking nice with dozens of ducks floating on the surface of the water. He adored duck as he liked all animals. So he decided instantly to go for a swim and since he did not have a swim suit so he had to jump right in wearing the clothes that he had on but, he did not care because a little water did not matter to him. He swam from one end of lake to the other. Then he decided to dive deep into the lake and then rush back up to the surface.

Now Bud was having some fun. He wanted to swim over to the ducks but, was not sure how they would react to him since they were wild and might have deceases or be just plain scared of people.

After his little swim around the lake Bud went to climb out of the lake which he did. His clothes were of course dripping wet with water but, bud did not care since he would be running and the cool water against his skin would cool him down. And to his surprise he was right. He kept on jogging around computer city. He even jogged past his house but, decided not to stop for a dry pair of clothes.

Budman page 7

Bud was hopeful that he would never be caught because if he would there would be a big scandal. But budman was sure or almost sure that would not happen. In the meantime as long as Budman and Wyman were not caught they would get all the publicity out of there fake crime wave.

One of the crimes they set up to get Budman publicity was to steal the mascot for the computer city bar and grill. Wyman hired some toughs to break into the computer city bar and grill to steal their mascot which was a little teddy bear with a bib and a yellow sticked with the words computer city bar and grill on it. The bear was the heart and soul of the grill and the owner was devastated when he found the bear was stolen, he offered a reward of a free meal for a week to the person who was able to recover the restaurants beloved mascot.

Budman went on computer city television and vowed to recover the mascot for the owner of the computer city bar and grill. Budman rode his scooter to Wymans house on the outskirts of computer city where no one could see him go to Wyman's house. He knocked on the door and Wyman's wife answered and said Wyman would be with him in a moment.

Wyman a moment later arrived at the door with the bear. Budman was delighted because he would now be a hero. Budman had alerted the press who would be at the computer city capital building for a press conference. To the delight of the press and the owner of the computer city bar and grill. The owner instantly recognized the bear and ran to it to take it out of Budman's hands. He shook Budman's hand and said a loud thank you for returning he beloved bear.

Now Budman went into a long speech about how he was so happy to be able to do this favor for one of his most beloved restaurants. He was so proud of himself and said so to the assembled throng of reporters from the top newspapers and television stations in computer city. He congratulated himself on a job well done. The owner of the computer city bar and grill got up on the podium and said a few words of thank you to Budman and talked about how glad he was to have his wonderful little teddy bear mascot back. He also talked about how worried he was when he walked in and found the mascot missing.

After the owners speech the press conference ended and the press went back to their their respective offices to file their reports. Bud was proud of himself for the successful r fake rescue of the bear.

Budman Superhero, Page 6

After Buds good nights sleep and his usual day Bud was again ready to fight crime on the streets of computer city. The Budman scooter had not been injured during the crash so he did not have to get it fixed. Which was gook because it took two weeks to get sent in to get fixed.

Tonight Bud was looking to do some read good not the fake good like he usually fought. Tonight things started out fast since there was a new bad guy in town that Budman had hired to get some good publicity. He would get that good publicity by thwarting Wyman's evil plans. Budman would and Wyman would meet at the computer city bar and grill in the shadows and plan out the next weeks evil deeds and then how Budman would thwart Wyman's nefarious plans. It was a master stroke of genius that Budman used to get the most publicity for the world's new number one hero. After planing out the next weeks deed Budman and Wyman would leave quickly and head back to there respective places of residence.

Wyman was paid handsomely by Bud but, he did not know Budman's real identity as Bud thought that would be to dangerous so he would always go to the meetings at the computer city bar and grill dressed as Budman. The team worked wonders for Budman's popularity. And luckily no one noticed that the crime wave was irregular and then link it back to Budman thus destroying his reputation. No that was not ever going to happen as long as Budman an Wyman played everything smart.

Wyman would find people from out of town to commit the crimes because if he was ever caught that would be the end of his and Budman's partnership and he did not want that to as because the money was so good.

The crime that he hired people to commit ranged from auto theft to hotel room break-ins to putting little old ladies cats in trees. Budman would always fly in to save the day and make sure that the victims of the staged crime were ok. And he always received praise from the victims for the good work he was doing for saving them.

Bud wanted to keep all the staged crime a secret because he knew that if anyone ever found out he would be ruined and would probably have to leave computer city and maybe the galaxy. But that was a chance Bud was willing to take as if there was not crime there was not publicity or reason for Budman to patrol the tepid streets of computer city. So his plan to create crime was brilliant he thought as long as he was not caught and he was sure that would never happen anytime soon.

Budman superhero, Page 5

The rejection from his romantic interest was the least of Budmans worries right now. He was very upset. He wondered how it would look in the papers a superhero involved in a car accident. He could not worry about that much now because he had to save the driver of the car.

Surprisingly Budman was uninjured from the accident as it occurred below five miles an hour. The driver of the other car was passed out and unconscious. Budman did not know why this was the case but, he had to use his cellphone to call an ambulance but, he could not stay around until the ambulance came because he had to secretive because of his superhero status. So he waited as ling as he could and then drove off on his scooter when he heard the sirens approaching.

He also left his card so that the owner of the car could contact him. He dove off on his scooter for home because he was to exhausted after the accident to continue fighting the big bad crime on the streets of computer city. When he arrived home Harried asked him where he had been and Budman now transformed into BudlongInteger said he was out partying with friends all night. He also said that now he was headed off to bed for a good days sleep. Harriet said have a good days sleep and she also said that she would have the chef make him his favorite meal when he awoke. Bud said thank you and was off to bed.

Buds bedroom was great look. It had grey carpeting with dark green walls with a white celling. And for furniture he had a bed that was the shape of a car with a car shaped lamp right beside it. He also had his computer and a big screen television with a Blu-ray player and a video game console.

He always watched a movie before bed because that helped him unwind. He oddly enough like horror movies before bed. To most people a horror movie before going to sleep would give them nightmares but, not Bud. Horror movies always made him sleep better and what better then a good nights sleep to erase the horrible day that he had had. So a good long horror movie was sure to give him the kind of sleep he needed. Now the problem was to pick just the right horror movie. Often Bud would spend more time then he would like searching for a movie to watch from an online rental store or his own movie collection. But, all the wasted time was behind him as now he set a time limit of five minutes to grab a movie and watch it because there was not sense in wasting time when he wanted to watch as many movies as he could.

I am not good at reading maps

No I am not good at reading maps so its a good thing there is GPS to tell mye how to get somewhere. I suppose if I practiced reading a map I might get better .

Budman Superhero Page 4

Bud was starting to get upset that there was not enough crime for him to protect the city's residents from. But, when he thought about it more he realized that was a horrible way to think he should be glad that there is so little crime for him to fight. So he decided to get some food to eat because he was vanished. Fighting crime and doing good deed does that to you he thought.

He road he scooter to the computer city fast food diner and went through the drive through. When he go to the drive though window the women working there recognized him as Budman and asked for his autograph which he happy supplied. His spirit lifted he was ready to eat and then fight some more crime. He had his burgers and fries finished in no time and then he went out to the mean streets of computer city just looking for trouble. Which now he had no trouble finding.

He went by a house and heard screaming and realized someone might be in trouble so he rushed to the house and knocked on the door. No one answered the door so he broke the door down and rushed in to help a person he was sure was in need of urgent help. But the screaming was at a television by an over excited fan of the comedian basketball league. I will call her Sam. Sam was watching the Comedian Basketball league championship and her team was winning and she was out of her mind with excitement. After Budman got her attention she calmed down and then Budmam lectured her about making loud noise that could disturb her neighbors and fellow residents of computer city. After the lecture he asked Sam if she would like to go out on a date with one of the greatest superhero's of all time. She refused and Budman wondered why. He thought she will come to regret rejecting me because I will find a wife and Sam will she how happy my wife is and think back to this day and fill like she had missed a great opportunity. Yes she would.

Budman was in a bad mood after Sam's rejection so he drove his scooter fast and reckless. And to his horror was involved in an accident. A car was pulling out at an intersection and Budman was not thinking right and did not see the car or the red stoplight and so rammed the side of a BMW. This horrified Budman because he was supposed to protect people not harm them or their possessions. And now look at what he had done. Ruined a late model BMW. How could he have done this. He felt just terrible.

When does sharing become over sharing online

internet explorer

It becomes over sharing when you think its over sharing. I think that the decision that something is over sharing has to be determined by the individual and not by anyone else. If you want to share something and you don't think its sharing to much information or oversharing then I say go for it as long as you don't put yourself in danger.

Rainy days are ok

Rain in Muzahimiyah, Saudi Arabia

When I was younger I liked rainy days but as I have gotten older I don't like them as much anymore. I don't hate them or anything I just don't enjoy a good rainy day as much as I used to.

Its does not matter what season it is I like rainy days about the same all year long.

If I were to make a big sandwich here is what I would make

Big sandwich

A whole love of sour dough bread then I would cut the loaf in half and spread mayonnaise on both halves of the bread and add salami, turkey, roast beef, lettuce, tomato's, cheese and to top it off add some salt and pepper and then add the top half of the bread. I would not cook the sandwich in anyway. I think it might take a week to eat which is ok.

To cities I want to move right next to each other

Sakura light-up at Chidoriga-fuchi in Tokyo 千鳥ヶ淵

San Francisco and Tokyo because I think they are two of the coolest cities in the world. I don't have any other reason than that.

No lucky number for me

Numbers

Thinking about it I don't believe I have ever had a lucky number. Yep, I thought about it some more and there has never been a number that I have considered to be my lucky number.

I no longer worry about sports

Basketball Stars

I no longer worry about my favorite sports team. I used to spend a lot of my time reading, listening to sports radio and reading the sports section of the newspaper. In my opinion I took sports way to seriously. And now I don't care at all how good or bad the sports teams I used to like are doing or what trades a team I like might make or who my favorite team picked in the draft. It has freed up a lot of time in my life to worry about different things. In fact I wonder know how I could have been so obsessed with sports anyway because now I am not that interested except maybe watching a sporting event on television.

Budman superhero page 3

Bud had showered, dressed and now he was on his way to the garage where he took the elevator to the compartment where the Budman scooter was stored. The Budman scooter was as synonymous with Bud man as the Bat mobile is with Batman. When people say the Budman shooter coming they often wonder who was driving that weirdly colored scooter. It was a psychedelic explosion of colors; red, green, pink, blue. Whatever almost empty containers of pant Bud could find he put that color that was in those containers on the Budman scooter because he though he should use his money on more important things like better shoes or name brand socks.

He drove through the tunnel and onto the road and was off to downtown computer city which was two blocks away. And it seemed like forever to get there but, in reality it took all of two minutes but, those were fast driving to minutes. Let me tell you, and I will, and I just did. The day was calm and breezy and it was just before the sun went down and it was one of the most beautiful evenings Bud could remember except for when Bud went patrolling around the grocery store he heard shouting inside.

An older women in her mid-eighties was trying to cut in line in front of a gentlemen in his mid-20's who was built like a weightlifter and after seeing this miss match bud stepped in to protect the young man. The older woman was a menace and she had to be stopped as Bud saw it even though she could barely move without out the aid of her walker. After he got in between them he gave the woman a stern lecture about the improperness of her actions. She backed off and all was settled and he was glad that he did not have to heart anyone and could just use his words on this day.

He knew that on other days things would not be so easy. But today they were that easy. With order restored Budman rushed out into the street before the young man could issue a thank you. Bud did not want praise he want to help make the world a better place and that was it.

At a street corner he say a women struggling to push her food cart across the road she he jumped in to help. The women said nothing but, a think you after he helped her across road to the spot where she want to set up shop. And she also gave him a funny look when he walked away. Another good deed done Budman thought. And yes to the outside observer also it was a good deed but, not a great deed only good. The night was still you and he might accomplish that great deed tonight, who knows.

Budman super, Page 2

Bud always had trouble sleeping during the days because he thought he should be outside or at his computer programming. So this was going to be a struggle for him sleeping during the day but, he would get thought it knowing that he would be protecting the streets of computer city and they surely needed protecting.

Bud wanted to get into a routine because he thought that would make him sleep better not to mention make his life better. So he would go out and patrol the streets of computer city starting at 5:00pm until 7:00am then he would return home for a big breakfast. Of course he could tell no one that he was in fact Budman so he would make up a different excuse as to where he was because he had to hide that he was Budman.

After breakfast he would retire to his bedroom where he would close the window shades to darken the room so that he could sleep. Then he would take a sleeping pill specially made for superheros. He would sleep fro eight house straight with no tossing or turning or sleepless days.

After a great days sleep he would would eat a huge meal so he would only have to eat two meals a day. That would save time and he did not enjoy eating anyway. He ate because he had to no because he wanted to. So that would be about 4:00pm in the afternoon which would leave him an hour for relaxation which he would spend playing or better explained practicing his basketball skills.

He would shoot 3-pointers, dunk, shoot layups, shoot free-throws. He would practice all his basketball skill which got him hyped up to go and catch the bad guys. Sure he had no social life like the social lives of his peers but, he was going to do anything to keep computer city safe. And that was more satisfying than any party could ever hope to be. He could be Budman for the rest of his life and that would be fine with him because he liked doing good deeds.

At precisely 4:40 he would slip into he Budman superhero outfit. He liked to leave enough time to shower and then dress as even superheros needed to smell good as Bud said. A superhero who did not smell good was no super hero at all. He also put on a special super cologne. Which was made with secret ingredients that made any hero feel confident that he/she smelled good.

After he was dressed he went out to the garadge and then took a hidden elevator to the secret compartment where his Budman superhero scooter was stored. The compartment led directly to the highway about half a mile from his house. He had to travel trough a tunnel to get to the highway though which he thoroughly enjoyed. Now he was ready to make the streets of computer city save for who ever wanted to travel them.

BudMan Superhero page 1

It was a stormy evening in computer city just before dark and Budman was about to go out and protect the empty streets of computer city. Budman was just Bud LongInteger with man added to the end of Bud's name.

He thought it would be fun to be a superhero so he went on the internet and looked it up on the internet. He found the article How to Become a superhero on Failure is my friend; a terrible blog written by Daniel Thornton a mediocre writer who managed to write one good blog post. So he went to the superhero emporium and followed all the steps outlined in the article. He got a good outfit, superpowers, and a great cape, some good boots and now he was ready to become a superhero.

Now all he need to do was to hire a good advertising firm for a television commercial and internet advertising campaign because how can you be a superhero when no one knows about you. Bud would be dressed in costume when he was in the commercials and not reveal his real identity. If he did reveal his identity it would me to much risk. So he did not tell people who his real identity was. He did a through search. He looked in the computer city register and picked the first advertising firm he saw an add for. Bud never did anything without thorough research.

Instead of waiting for the advertising campaign to come out he wanted to get going saving computer city from the bad guys. So he got into costume and charged up his super powers and went out onto the streets of computer city. He walked and walked and then drive his BMW around the streets of computer city just looking for trouble. He found a group of elementary school students involved in a five on four basketball game.

The team with only four players was loosing badly to the team with five players so Bud stepped in to save the day and help the team with four players. He got some funny looks for the player but, was allowed to play in the game and brought the short handed team from the jaws of defeat to the greatness of victory. He felt proud of help someone in a great way as he did in the basketball game.

He hopped back in his car and kept driving around the city until dawn and he found no more trouble that night unfortunately. He drove home filled with pride at knowing that someday he would be one of the most helpful people in the country. One thing that Bud had not considered when he decided to become a superhero was that now he would have to get 8 hours of sleep during the day time. Suer he could be a super hero at all time of day but, he decided that the worst crime in computer city was at night time. He was a super her but, he also was a person with a social life and if he were a superhero on call at all hours of the day he could not have a social life. He saw no problem with wanted to have a social life while saving the world.

The Case Of Who Cooked The Bad Meal.

Bud was so tired after all the food that he decided to take the rest of the day off. And surprises of surprises two days after she disappeared Shelly showed up for work. Bud walked into the kitchen to get a drink of water so he could start this day of hard detective work and there she was at the counter mixing ingredients for pancakes.

"What are you doing here Shelly you are supposed to be missing. "Well obviously I was not missing. Didn't you read my note" Shelly said. "What note Bud said." "The note I left on the refrigerator right over there." She said. "Oh, now I see it and it says you were going on a mini vacation to HardDrive city." Bud said. "We were worried about you how come you did not tell anyone and you just left the note. That was so rude Bud said. "Well to bad she said.

I was sent out to find you and I was just going out to look for you again to day and now I don't have to do that. How disappointing because I was going to go to the beach today to see if anyone had seen you there. Not that you go to the beach I just wanted to go to the beach and I was going to use you as an excuse to go there Bud said. Now I guess I will have to go to the beach without using you as a cover. How disappointing Bud said.

"So how was your vacation" Bud said. Well Shelly said I went to HardDrive city and found that there was a cruise ship that was unerder booked and was offering discount tickets for a day cruise on the Bay of hardDrive city. So I decided to take the chance and go on a cruise. And it was an absolutely beautiful day. The day was clear and warm with a slight breeze. The ship was one of the huge cruise liners that you see on television cruise ship commercials. Great ship. My favorite thing to do was go to the top of the ship and look over the bay and that was the best view ever. I spent a lot of the day exploring the ship above and below deck. What a ship. There were dinning rooms, bedrooms, entertainment rooms. There was everything there. It was like a tiny city on water. There even was a row of stores where I could by clothes, food or get my hair cut. The ship was made to be able to go weeks at see but, was used only for day trips on HardDrive city bay.

For lunch I had ice cream and candy. I did not want to eat healthy. If you can't spoil yourself on vacation where can you spoil yourself, am I right. Then after the cruise I visited a friend in the city and spent the night at a 5 star hotel and then I came back her to see you tell me that you thought I was missing. I did not think anyone would miss my note. I guess I was wrong.

That' ok," Bud said. Oh, yes Bud asked who cooked the meal the night you left. I did but, I was in a hurry and it did not turn out right Oops, she said. The End.

The case of who cooked the bad meal, page 3

After all the interviews Bud became hungry so he decided to stop for a bite to eat a his favorite fast food place - The place that serves pizza - Sure the name is a bit long but, that did not mean that the food was not excellent.

The pizza place served pizza everything. Dessert pizza, pepperoni pizza, pepperoni pizza ice cream, ect. Every time Bud went there he always had the pepperoni pizza, some pizza bread and the pepperoni pizza ice cream. Also he had a pineapple pizza soda. The meal was delicious and it got Bud energized and ready to do some more work. Fist he had to play the video games on The pizza place's arcade machines.

Bud went to the change machine and put in 20 dollars and got 80 quarters. Enough to keep him occupied for house. Sure he had to to solve a case but, he needed the down time to become more creative and think about who or what happened to Shelly. So the idea to play video games for hours without thinking about the case was genius.

The first game he want to play was one that had just come out. Space basketball was a game that got rave reviews. The basketball games were played in a glass building on the moon. The wall made sitting inside the gym look awesome because it looked like the game was being played out side and from inside you could see the stars and the lunar surface and the basketball game. The game had the best graphics of any game to date. Bud choose to play the computer instead of asking someone in the arcade to play against him. He choose to play as the computer city shooting stars. The games had 12 minute quarters. Bud fist wanted to try the slam dunk contest. He picked a 6 foot 10 inch player. The computes was to see who could get the highest score with 3, 5, 7 dunks. The game player choose the never of dunks. The computer had control of 6 player while the person player had control of only one player.

Bud choose 3 dunks. For his first dunk Bud had his player go baseline throw the ball off the floor and then catch the ball in the air for a two handed dunk.For his second dunk Bud took his player to to center court dribbled down the centrer of the court until he got to the free throw line and pressed the button to make his player jump and the player on the screen finished with a one handed dunk. For his third and final dunk Bud had his player do a simple dunk where the player stood right in front of the basket and threw the ball off of the floor and jumped up caught the ball in the air and dunked and received a thunderous applause.

The Case Of Who Cooked The Bad Meal, Page 2

So Bud started from the beginning. Who was the last person to see the chef and what time was it. So for that information Bud did not know who to talk to except Shelly's best friend in the world. Which is Wanda Cleans who had been Shelly's best friend since she arrived at the longInteger mansion over a year ago. Wanda had been hired after the last house keeper had quit to become an actress for computer city studio's full time. Bud was sad that she left but, knew life did not stay the same forever. So after a few interviews Sam integer hired Wanda and the family has never looked back since.

He found Wanda and asked her where Shelly might be. Wanda asked why. We can't find her Wanda. "oh, my you can't find her this is so upsetting. I don't want anything to happen to my best friend. Well the last time I saw her Bud was two nights ago when we went to dinner at computer city bar and grill. She told me she was going to go out bar hopping and then return home in the early morning. I tried to call her but, she did not answer the next day so I assumed that she had gone to her boyfriends house and would be back by the end of the weekend so I did not worry. But, now I am worried Bud she usually calls me every other. That was very informative Wanda and very helpful. I will do my best to find her Wanda I assure you.

Next Bud went to her Shelly's boyfriend's house since Wanda had mentioned him. Her boyfriend is named Will Ed. Bud did not know what he did for a living or much about him but, he found out where he lived from Wanda. Bud that he would get better information out of Will than Wanda would so Wanda gave Bud his address.

Will's house was a large Mansion on the outskirts of computer city. He had scores of servants; Butler's, house keeper, cooks, gardener. Bud had met Will one time before at a barbecue on the LongInteger estate about 10 years before. Will greeted Bud with a smile and a how are you Bud its been a long time since we last met and its good to see you. It nice to see you also will, Bud said. Will offered Bud a soda but, Bud refused because he was not thirsty. That's great Bud. Let sit down on the couch shall we and get this questioning over with because I have to be at an appointment in about two hours Will told Bud. Bud agreed.

So when was the last time you saw Shelly Bud asked. Well it was after she had been out bar hopping and she came here in a taxi drunk. So I said why don't you stay here for the night but, she said that she had to get back home. She came by because she just wanted to say hello to me in person. So that was the last time I saw her Bud, are those all the question you have for me. Yes that is all Will and thanks for you time.

Life Before the internet

Book Addiction

I read more books, watched hours of television a day, and listened to the radio on my clock radio. Now I look back on the time before I got the internet and wish I could go back to it. Life was not that bad without the internet. Maybe someday I will live without the internet at home again just to see what it would be like and if I would do anything thing differently than I did before. I know one thing is for sure I would not listen to as much radio. I never really enjoyed listening to the radio.

That's what I think about a lot now since I am on my computer a lot is that what if I did not have a computer and did not have to get on the internet would life be better or how would my life be different than before I got the internet. Because I think I am a lot different now than I was then and would make better choices with my time. Because know I know about the internet whereas before I did not and thought it would make my life so much better.

What happened to the Chef, fiction

It was a cool calm night. It was a night like a horror movie. Dinner was served at the LongInteger household and Bud thought that the dinner was made by the family's regular cook but, when when he dug into the meal it tasted horrible. When Bud screamed for the chef no one came so he went into the kitchen and found that is was deserted but for the waitress.

The waitress said that the chef was gone when she went to the kitchen to start her work of serving the meal. So she did not know who prepared the meal since the chef liked to take a mini vacation every so often.

Bud called the chefs room but, there was no answer so he tried her cell phone and also got no answer and then he got worried so he immediately went to her room to find some clue as to where she might be.

He had a spare key to all the servants rooms jut in case he need to get into their rooms when the servants were not there; the were on vacation and such. Once in her room he found a not that said that she went on vacation and the she would never be back. Bud thought that how can you go on vacation and never return to job. That sounded more like she was quitting her job. But, the day before he had had a conversation with her and she sound like she enjoyed her job. She he was suspicious of the letter and he thought that their might be foul play involved.

He immediately put on his detective cap; by that I mean he put on a real cap. And started to search for her. Since he did not want to panic the police he did not call them and decided that he would handle the case himself. After all he had read numerous mystery novels and watched lots and lost of mystery novels that were adapted for television. So he felt confident that he could solve the case better than any of the computer city police detectives or so he thought. The first place that he started to look was the computer city bar and grill which was one of Shelly's; the chef's, favorite hangouts.

He asked the bartender if she had seen Shelly and she said that yes she had seen her within the last week but, not within the last 24 hours. It was the same anser she got from all the waiters and waitresses who worked at the bar. None of them had seen her in the last 24 hours either. Now he really started to get upset.

The Case of the Missing Tuna sandwich, The End

Since the were up all night the detectives woke up late in the morning at about 11:00am. Bud was upset because he wanted to find out who stole his tun sandwich as fast as he could. He did not like something like that hanging over his head. But, what could he do he wanted the detectives at their best because he wanted to find out the culprit as fast as he could.

After they awoke the detectives had a breakfast fit for a king. Bacon, eggs, toast, and fruit salad. After that kind of breakfast the were ready to go back to sleep but, the knew they had to get to work. Which they did. The first thing they did was accuse Sid of the crime since he was the only one not confirmed to be in the house at the time of the theft but, Sid did not confess. So they went back to interviewing. The first person the started with since they hard already interrogated Harriet was Sid. The realised they had put the cart before the horse by accusing Sid before interviewing him. The were now going to rectify their mistake.

"So Sid where were you at one the date and hour in question" asked Hank and Frank. "I was at the beach surfing" Sid said. Ok, we believe you and thanks for your time and sorry for accusing you when you were cleanly not guilty. "We questioned him hard and he seemed to be telling the truth so we should be proud of ourselves" said hank. I agree said frank.

Next the decided to interview Harriet 3, Buds sister. "Harriet 3 did you take the Tuna sandwich" said Frank. "Yes I did take the sandwich" Harriet 3 said. So what. I was hungry and I need something to eat and I saw the Tuna sandwich sitting there so I thought why not. I also got a soda out of the fridge to go with the tuna sandwich. And it was great. "So you can tell But, just go ahead and make another sandwich he did not need to call the police just for a sandwich. How silly and a waste of time. But, everyone does what Bud wants because out family is rich" Harriet 3 said. And that is the case of the Missing Tuna sandwich. "Hank went to Bud and told him the thief was in fact his sister. And he said to Bud that next time he should just make another sandwich instead of calling the detectives. Bud said he would take that advice into consideration and thank for find out the true thief of who took the tuna sandwich. "Hank and frank went out to the car as Bud was waving to them and they were proud of another job well done. The End.

The Case Of The Missing Tuna Sandwich, Page 4

The next show was actually a sporting event. The computer city comedy channel showed all the games of the CBA(Comedian Basketball association). It was made up of all the comedians who wanted to play basketball. Which amounted to about 200 of the worst basketball players in computer city. The may have been good comedians but, the were no basketball players.

The best player was a comedian named Bob Howman who was a comedian at the computer city bar a grill. It was amazing to Bud to know that Bob was a good comedian and a good basketball player also. Bob stood 6'5" tall and had a good shot from the free throw line. And he could do one thing that the majority of the comedian/basketball could not do and that was to be able to dunk the basketball.

He had one memorable dunk against the computer city comedy troupe team where he went baseline from the three point line and jumped when he was 10 feet from the basket and completed a one handed jam much to the amazement of the other team. The crowd rose with a thunderous applause.

But, most of the player and the play in the league were as laughable as the comedians jokes. Which is to say it was hilarious. A lot of the ball being dribbled of shoes and passes bounced off head air balls. But, people liked it because the got to see some of their favorite comedians make fools out of themselves and make them laugh.

Bud was surprised about the CBA because he had never heard of it before in his life. He thought the games were great entertainment. It was so fun for Bud because he liked to see if the comedians could make a shot or dribble. He yelled to Hank and Frank that this was some of the most fun he had had watching basketball because you never knew what was going to happen unlike the pro game where Bud knew that the players would probably be good on every play. The players in the Comedian basketball league were a lot more inconsistent where one play the might look like a decent basketball player and the next look like they don't belong a court.

The game lated until it was time for everyone to got to bed. It was a great sporting event to watch before bed because it was so much fun to watch. Hank and Frank were going to sleep in the guest rooms of the mansion since there were plenty of unused rooms. They were better than any luxury hotel in computer city and Hank and Frank could get to work early the next morning trying to figure out who took the tuna fish sandwich. Of course the could not get up too early as everyone they were going to interview would still be asleep.

Their rooms had big screen televisions and Bud said go ahead and watch some television so Hank and Frank got little sleep because they were up all night watching the computer city comedy channel and Sumo wrestling which was one of their favorite sports to watch together at the hangout were they both hung out. It was call The Place and it was a big gathering place for the computer city police department to go for breakfast lunch and dinner and also a place to hang out for work.

"Let me go on more about myself" Bud said. "I think the divorce really scared me and that is maybe the real reason that I don't want a relationship in high school. Thought I could be reading to much into my behavior. I don't know" Bud said.

"In the future I want to start another company. I am not exactly sure what the company will make but, it will probably make video games software because I do like to make video games as I believe that the add a lot to the world by giving people joy in their lives. Or maybe video games don't bring joy into peoples live I just like making money. Or no wait I don't like making money I mean its not the only thing that is important in my life.

Well lets see what else can I tell you about myself Bruce. My favorite music is 1970's disco music. I like to wear fluorescent green pant suits. And the most scandalous thing I am going to reveal is that I once went a day without using a computer. Well its been great hearing about you Bruce but, I have got to get back to the movie.

To Buds shocked surprise Bud had spent the entire move talking to Bruce. And to top it all of the Popcorn was soft because all the butter had soaked into the popcorn. So he just drank the cola. Since they were watching a double feature all was not lost and Bud would be watching a movie today after all. The next move was called The baseball player with a horrible swing. It was a semi-fictional movie about Sam Ballplayer who played for the computer city sidekicks in the computer city professional baseball league in the 1940's. Sam was a great defensive 3rd baseman who could not hit the baseball though he still managed to have a 20 year pro baseball career since he was stellar defensively.

The movie follow his career on the field as well as his tumultuous life off it. He was married six times since he had about the worst luck of picking a good mate. It also talks about his book addiction. Reading addiction was a little know phenomenon back in the 1940's it was not as well understood as it was when bud was growing up. He used to read all day long and it affected his family as well as his social life.

Oh, great Bud said when he hear what the second movie was going to be about since Bud thought Sam Ballplayer was one of the most interesting sports figures of the 20th century. And this time Bud was able to sit thought the who movie and even ate the butter soaked popcorn even though he disliked butter soaked popcorn.

After the movie was over Bud commented on how much he liked the movie and how accurate some of the events were to real life that were portrayed in the movie. Right down to the unfortunate end that Sam Ballplayer had. The year was 1972 and Sam was 52 years old and he had just remarried. The day was war and breezy. Sam and his new wife had just returned for a shopping trip and the Ballplayer's cat became stuck in a tree in the font yard. Instead of calling the fire department Sam decided to get the cat himself. He made it up the tree alright and got the cat but, on the way down the latter fell over and Sam landed head first onto the drive way pavement. His wive called the paramedics. He was rushed to the hospital where he lived for a month in a coma and things were looking good and then he took a turn for the worse and died on the night of July 21, 1972 in obscurity as it had been years since his playing days were over and he liked his privacy and did not seek out the limelight.

What I would do on a long weekend

[Three baseball players (boys) wearing Cleveland uniforms] (LOC)

Its hard for me to remember the last film that I saw at a movie theater since its probably been about 16 years since I have been to see a movie in a theater. Yes, I am cheap. I would say the last movie I saw at a movie theater was Rookie of the Year. I just looked it up on the internet and it the movie seem familiar so maybe it is the last movie I saw in a theater but, I thought I went to a movie theater after 1993 but, I will go with the move anyway.

I don't know if I would recommend the film since I don't remember much or any of the move. The movie was probably ok.

The toughest Do it yourself project I have taken on

Slim-Desktop-Computer_Prestigio-ION-230__22872

The most ambitions do it your self project I have ever taken on is cleaning my desktop and lot top computers. It was probably over a year that I had my desktop computer before I decided to clean all the dust out of the tower. I was not sure how to clean it but, I knew that the tower had to be clean out of the dust that accumulates from use so I look on the internet and saw that I could either use a can of compressed are or a computer vacuum.

I choose to use the can of compressed air. I did not have a can of compressed air that just happened to be lying around the house so I had to buy a can. So after I got the can of compressed air I cautiously slid open my computer case and saw that there was a big spider web. In fact I don't think there was much dust it was just the spider web that I had to clean out. After I got that don't I put the lid back on the computer tower and fired up the computer and much to my relief the computer still worked.

For my laptop I did not worry as much or even by a can of compressed air or a computer vacuum. I did not know how to clean a laptop so I looked it up on the internet and found out that the fan was underneath and that I had to remove some screws to remove the bottom of the computer. When I got the case open I used a tooth pick or something like that to clean the fan and the area around the fan then I put the bottom back on the computer and started the computer up and it worked. Also much to my relief.

Buds Best Years, Page 55

The group took two taxis to computer city cinemas. Then they had to decide what movie to watch. Since Bud had come up with the idea to go watch a movie he got the choice of which movie everyone would see.

Bud choose - Silent house - the only silent movie to come along in 70 years. "Bud why did you have to pick a silent movie because I hate read subtitles" said Ted the coach who had decided to come along on his players mini trip. The group had all purchased drins and popcorn before the went to sit in the theatre except Bud who did not want any drinks or food. He thought the movie would be so exciting even though it dod not have sound which he thought would make the story even better.

Then just before the movie began Bud decided he was in fact hungry and decided to go get some pop corn and a soda so he took his leave and thought he would be back to watch the start of the movie since how long could getting pop corn and a soda take. So Bud left his seat and went to the concession. He walk out and saw a familiar face working the concession Bruce Hays a friend from grade school who he had not seen in years. He was overjoyed.

Bud walked right up to Bruce and asked for a cola and some popcorn and Bruce did not look like he recognized Bud so Bud said "Do you know who I am Bruce". Bruce looked at Bud and said I don't believe we have met and then Bud said you know who I am because we went to grade school together and my name is Bud LongInteger. "How are you Bud its been a long time since I have seen you" Bruce said. Well I am doing fine. Let me fill you in on what has happened to me since the last time I saw you Bruce" Bud said. Sure said Bruce. The biggest thing that has happened to me is my parents divorce which has been a big strain on me but, it has also made me strong stronger. Yes it came as a total surprise that my parents were having marital problems. I never heard them argue or anything like that one day they just announced that the were no longer going to be married and my sister and I were sent to live with our mother. Well we were not actually sent anywhere as my mother stayed living at the mansion and my father moved into an apartment in computer city.

Oh, yes and I decided that I do not want to date while I am in high school because I want to focus on my school work and not who likes who. Which I believe is a waste of my time and energy that could be use elsewhere such as my computer programming or learning a new hobby. In other words my time could be used more constructively. Why waste my time when I am young worrying about relationships that wont last long when I should be more concerned with learning when when my brain is young and able to learn faster than when I am older.

Also I have started several business that have had moderate success. Which is fine with me since I am only young and I am sure I will have a great business when I get older. I just need the practice of running a business. Practice make me an expert as I always like to say. If you dream but, never do anything then you never get any better is another saying I always say.
