Oops, I almost forgot.
With today being Armageddon and all — though it appears to be running a bit late, It's almost noon and I haven't see any of the four riders...hmmm — I thought I should say something in our last few minutes on Earth.
Goodbye, goodnight, and good luck. Thanks for all the comments and the Blingo prizes.
Lets try to get together on the flipside. Surely there has to be a social network Web Infinity.0 thing, Up-by-Up-West, or something.
Join the fray by reading through and commenting at the end.
Umm... yeah. Stay chilly, people.
(Crap. Why did I bother doing that laundry last night? Idiot.)
DON'T JUMP, GREG!
YOU'VE GOT SO MUCH TO LIVE FOR!
Me and my macbook sitting in the cave waiting.
You laugh, now mortals, but you will pay for your brazen mockery.
The skies just went dark red here in Boston ... and now .. what .. what is that? .. oh my GOD!!
Web, that's what you get for eating Taco Bell for lunch.
Would Satan be considered a terrorist? You would think they would raise the terror alert to severe for the Prince of Darkness.
BTW: Thomas Jefferson was president during the first 6.6.06 of this country. Theodore Roosevelt was the 2nd 6.6.06 and fittingly, George W. Bush is our president during out 3rd 6.6.06.
All Republicans! (Jefferson being a Democractic-Republican). Hmm, that has to say something...
I'm catching on to your blog naming scheme ;)
Designers and XHTML developers...I'll see you at the pearly gates...sorry Guernica developers, have fun in hell with Gates.
Hmmm, Armageddon? Somehow I'm thinking.... no.
I'll miss you guys.
It's already the 7th here in Australia - seems the world isn't going end after all.
The irresistible combination of Armageddon and Blingo prizes got me thinking -- should I buy a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS Lite to take with me to Up-by-Up West??? I am leaning towards the PSP because, according to the Gospel of Kenny, if I reach Level 60 then I am pretty much guaranteed a trip to heaven and a chance to win a glorious Keanu Reeves statue. Not sure if Nintendo makes such bold claims...
wait...Chris, you mean the world isn't ending? Shoot, that means all those innocents I helped spare from witnessing Armageddon I can go to jail for?
@nix, According to the Gospel of Kenny, you can get a psp, or become mormon to go to heaven. However if you hit level 60, you may get to use the Golden PSP.
Well, the worst that I had today was my brother getting a flat tire on his way out to visit me at my new apartment. I drove a short way to help him get the spare on. And he just got done telling me that nothing bad would happen today. :)
But there was something else: Shortly thereafter we passed a man with a sandwich board and a megaphone preaching Jesus on one of the busiest street corners around. He was just yelling at people in their cars... which does offend me, because I am of similar belief at the most basic level. But I certainly think that sort of "tactic" is appalling. I just shook my head.
No wonder people think that God people are nuts. Many (most?) are. :) Sheesh. To me, it's like running around designing total crap and then saying, "Yeah, I'm with Greg Storey." You wouldn't be having that, would you Greg? God's probably pissed, so don't put your guard down on Armageddon quite yet! Heh.
I think we all made it. Party at my place. Greg, you bring the chips.
I'm particularly disappointed in the lack of events that God actually follows through with. Never make plans with that guy.
6/6/06 was my 26th birthday. FYI. Lots of "Damian" jokes ensued.
@Bradley -
I see your point, but I think that 'nutty people' goes well beyond just 'God' people. I think one thing is clear though, there is a world full of nut jobs out there.
I was told by a number of "reliable" Christians that the Rapture was supposed to be yesterday. Yet, here I sit, the day after the supposed Rapture, still alive.
Very disappointing.
I even prepared for the Rapture! I had a kit! Bandages, flashlights, beef jerky, gatorade, a cross, a picture of Jesus, and body glitter.
I was ready to look Jesus in the eye and say, "Hey! You! ...You gonna eat that?"
Heh.
@Paul
Agreed.
@Scott
The Bible's pretty clear that if and when it happens, he will come "like a thief in the night". IMHO, anyone who thought some amazing holy event would happen with a huge media cloud surrounding it clearly missed the point.
Oh, and would Jesus be a white guy in your picture? Yeah... might want to ditch that.
I kid, I kid.
Greg-
You have opened up a whole new market for yourself. Spiritual enlightenment, failed religious predictions, and preaching about the rapture.
Cha Ching.
You had better copyright "Web Infinity.0" Greg, don't want that one getting away.
I'm just glad we made it past 6/6, because 6/7 was National Chocolate Ice Cream Day. w00t!
Now that al Zarqawi is dead, does that mean the whole 666 thing has lost one of it's cheerleaders? If anything, it's a little hotter than the Iraqi desert where he is now.

Foolish mortals and your archaic numbers. Punch and pie are the true tools of the Devil. Especially pie.
Did anyone notice the remake of The Omen's Day One box office claim: $12,633,666. Spooky.
Yeah. Some accountant being kinda zany, right?

Start, Shut Down, Restart! We made it beyond the fear and hype again! WoooHoo!
Thanks
