Idiots that support Bush... Alright, kids... This is what pissed Stephen off today... See why this crazy woman says that she will vote for Bush (even though she wants the war to end)... UGH!! People should have to pass an IQ test before they are given the right to vote... Bush_Support.avi  ¶ 11:17 PM

  An apology to Matt... Alright.... I admit - I made fun of you at the time... We all thought that it was a bit over the top and totally frivolous.... You said, "we'd be surprised" how much you used it... And we all just laughed... Well, today I found myself at the beach... It was windy and foggy... The air was wet and full of sand... I desperately wanted to take pictures of the puppies, but I was afraid that I would damage the camera... Then I realized the solution.... I swallowed my pride (as if I have any), and, tonight, I hit the "Purchase" button on Amazon.com... Yes, I just bought the underwater casing for my new camera... The exact underwater casing model that you purchased 2 years ago and got ribbed for... Oh well... I guess you get the last laugh this time...   ¶ 1:57 AM

  Off to pick up Alex at the groomers... Apparently, he freaked out when they tried to cut his hair around his head... Ugh!  ¶ 1:48 PM

  Ladies & Gentlemen - I am pleased to present... MATT'S STALKER... Enjoy! MattStalk.mp3

So in case anyone is wondering - YES I did take care of that wild hair up my ass by purchasing a 5 megapixel camera and YES I did find a way to rationalize the purchase... After a day of shopping for the camera, I went to Costco... While heading out to the parking lot, I saw a guy drop his blackberry in the parking lot without realizing it... Now, normally, I'd just giggle to myself and say "Sucks to be him" (If you wear your technology on a holster attached to your belt, you're a complete dork and deserve all bad things that happen to you -- Hello, God invented cargo pants for a REASON!) But, instead of laughing at this guy's misfortune, I saw this a my window of opportunity... I picked up the blackberry and returned it to the guy. He said "thanks"... But in my mind he really said "Thanks, you deserve a reward, you should go out and buy yourself a nice 5 megapixel camera." So I did.... :)   ¶ 9:56 AM

  Got a wild hair up my ass today... I think - no, I KNOW - I need a new 5 megapixel camera... Yes, I believe that life would certainly be more fulfilling if I had a 5 megapixel camera... My 4 megapixel camera is on the fritz (and it's WAY too bulky to carry around)... While my 2 megapixel camera is perfectly adequate for everyday use, there's no way to blow up those pictures to poster size... Ok, not that I've ever made posters from my prints before -- that's not the point -- the point is..., well I... I, NEED a 5 megapixel camera!!! Don't ask me to explain my rationale again... I'm sure I'll be able to rationalize the purchase AFTER I have it in my hands... :)

TTFN,

  Hmmm... Today I did a Google search for "Stephen Yarbrough" and I found that there were a bunch of other people in this world named Stephen Yarbrough. But for some reason, it didn't find my website - " Stephen Yarbrough dot com " Then it occurred to me... Until I posted this blog entry, there was no mention of my name, Stephen Yarbrough, on this website, Stephen Yarbrough dot com.

So hopefully, by including my name ( Stephen Yarbrough ) on this blog entry, which will be posted on my website ( Stephen Yarbrough dot com), my website may actually show up in search engine results when someone types " Stephen Yarbrough " in the search window.

I bet one of these days, some guy named Stephen Yarbrough will read my website and think to him self, "damn it, I should have registered Stephen Yarbrough dot com... Now some dork, (named Stephen Yarbrough ) has tainted my name ( Stephen Yarbrough ) with pictures of puppies, and and drunk friends.... Grrrrr.... "

But what if one of my friends tries to find this site and they misspell my name (Stephen Yarbrough)? It's possible that they think that I have an extra "o" in my last name, like this - Stephen Yarborough. In fact, that was a common error that many of my friends and teachers made throughout my life. I don't know how many times I saw my name written as " Stephen Yarborough " when I lived in Athens, Texas... I think that people in Texas just liked to add an extra syllable so that they could drawl it out more.... (Yarbrough is only 2 syllables- "Yar-Bro" whereas Yarborough can be drawn out with a thick Texas slang as "Yaaar-Boooor-ooow"). Also, some people may misspell my name as Steven Yarbrough, or Steven Yarborough, or even Steve Yarbrough or Steve Yarborough. But for some reason the name "Steve" never sat well with me... Perhaps it's linked to the gay gene... I've always hear that gay people prefer the non-abbreviated name, (Michael vs. Mike, David vs. Dave, Stephen vs. Steve, Anthony vs. Tony, etc.). While it doesn't hold true for my circle of friends (and believe me, my friends are gayer than the average gays), I certainly know more gay guys than straight that go by their full first name...

Alrigthy, I now want to apologize for anyone who wasted their time reading this blog entry. As you might have figured, it was a shameless attempt to get my name "Stephen Yarbrough" to show up in search engine results... I'll let you know if it works! ;)

Best regards,

  So I have spent the past 6 hours uploading photos from the past few years onto my website. Besides becomming quite nostaligic, I have come to a realization... My friends and I are a bunch of skank-ho lushes! Nealy 80% of the pictures on my website are from one drunken evening or another... Oh well, I hope y'all enjoy!   ¶ 1:34 PM

  Already, 4 people have asked me, "what is a Blog" -- A Blog is short for "Web Log", kind of an online diary.... Its just the sort of thing that you are supposed to update on a regular basis... Which means that this post may be my last for a year (I really got to work on that procrastination thing) --

The funny thing is, I recently started reading "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Overcoming Procrastination," -- I'm on chapter three already... Unfortunately, I bought the book 4 years ago... (sad thing is, I'm not joking -- I really bought the book 4 years ago and never got around to reading it!) --- Even worse, I've been reading the book (and creating this website) as an elaborate excuse to delay going to the gym... Seriously, I need help :)

I hope you enjoy the webiste -- I'll try to post more pictures soon (including pictures of ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS, rather than just dogs! -- Heck, here's one of Chrys and me for starters)....

TTFN... Ta-Ta For Now
