And read my lips, read my lips, listen to me, I'm talkin' to you...

When I become an international rap star, my stage name is going to be "MC P-rick."


Be careful, if you become successful, I could sue you like the guys who sued Mr. T because they helped create his image.


How talented are you?

Should I start contemplating ways to spend millions or about weather to buy a piece of gum or a sucker?

Got my first power tool today: a power drill!

Installed a pair of towel racks for my wife, then used a 2" saw bit to bore through the top of a built-in set of wall cabinets in the den (and installed a nice desk grommet to cover the bore and handle the cables), and drilled a bunch of holes through all the compartments inside.

Now only the TV is showing...the cable box, DVD player, and VCR are inside the cabinets underneath.

I rock.

A word to the wise, Tom. When it comes time to tear down a wall or two, be afraid, be VERY afraid of:

1 - Faulty wiring, it's everywhere. Bare wire+swung hammer=SHOCKING experience.

2 - Misplaced pipes. Ever put a hatchet through a wall during demolition time and suddenly wonder why there's suddenly water everywhere?

3 - Wire lath. THE MOST EVIL THINGY EVER! It literally quadruples the weight and strength of the sheetrock. A real pain to remove.

4 - Plaster. OH YE GODS! Wear THREE dust masks when taking that stuff down.

5 - Blown-In insulation. Seriously...Cthulhu himself would have a hard time finding a more terrifying and irritating substance. If you start to remove the initial wall and see what appears to be grey fluff start falling out, go to the nearest Home Depot or similar place and buy a full-body Tyvek protective suit. That stuff is worse than asbestos and takes like twenty showers to get rid of the residue.

6 - Sheetrock - Little chunks BAD, Big chunks GOOD!

7 - Stud gnomes - they get in there between the 2x4s and jump out at you when you lease expect it.

BE AFRAID!!!!

Ok, I'm done. :D
