2002.09.04 dirty boots:
slow day at work today. i tend to like these days about as much as i dislike them.
i've spent quite a bit of the day fighting with my jabber client (or more correctly, the jabber server i use), and have had little IM love going on. another big chunk of my day has been spent perusing the "Photoshop Phriday" and "Comedy Goldmine" threads over at somethingawful. if you like stuff that's funny… uh… you should go check it out.
my most recent obsession has become… polishing my boots. for about 2 years or so, i've pretty much never taken a polish brush to my combat boots (my only form of footware), so, needless to say, they were looking pretty rough. very little actual black left on them, and huge chunks taken out of the leather all 'round the heel & toes.
so, about three weeks ago, i broke out the ol' polish kit and gave 'em a quick once over. since then, i've been polishing them once or twice a week. today (i've now dubbed Wednesday as boot-polishing day–since i don't usually eat lunch on Wed. i can polish them on my lunch break.) i actually gave them a quick spit-shine. they seem to like it. i'm actually thinking about maybe taking some time tonight to finish the job… yeah, we're definitely getting to the obsession level with this whole polishing thing, i think.
ah well, never did seem to have a problem finding something with which to distract myself.

and starts wearing a rebel flag bandanna on his head… the sad part is I remember seeing him in one of those in the past.

I think, Javan, that you have me confused with someone else… namely yourself. I don't think i've ever worn a rebel flag bandana on my head. Which is not to say that i didn't necessarily own one.
I figured out pretty early on that the rebel flag, while being an important piece of history, is a particularly offensive icon in the modern world.

Don't worry Javan, Matt's just mad that somebody's pointing out his foibles. I'm sure he won't put you on his list for the "revolution."
p.s., I've always been a supporter of you, Matt. And you're right, guns don't kill people. Tell Chuck hi for me.

no, no… it was you. I remember clearly. You and one of your friends. It happens to be the same bandanna that I have in my room. I remember that you were going somewhere with your friends, so you wouldn't stay and play with me (I was just 4 or 5), and you were wearing the bandanna!
Dont doubt me! I even remember larry the squirrel:)
