Seeing as how independence day fell on this past quarter, I did partake in some independence day fun?!... And what better way to celebrate our independence than to exercise our 2nd amendment rights to blast the crap out of clay pigeons!  It took me a few rounds to get the hang of it, but after that - Whoa Nelly - "I reckon dem birds ain't had no chance!?...

       So, aside from the Comic-Con, vulgar displays of patriotism and day to day FUBARHQ operations (and some work thrown in to keep me honest) the only other big news was that Cheeky's SwingerMonkey site was given a "Major" overhaul with the entire album divided into a yearly format.  The new look will allow repeat visitors easier access to new content as well as give new visitors a chance to view the online "journals" in segments!  In addition to the site's renovation, Cheeky was also treated to "official" www.SwingerMonkey.net "He Gets Around" business cards!  Be sure to check out the updated page for new and updated pics!

Since I left you last I was entertaining a major coffee habit but in the last four months I was able (in about 4 days actually) to go from 5-6 cups a day to one!  While I do still drink 5-6 cups of "coffee" a day only one of them now actually is caffeinated!  So, with this I felt I needed to update my four cups list! -

There are four cups of coffee consumed in the morning.  Each cup is named/labeled by the emotional state that it facilitates in the drinker.  The four cups are labeled as follows -

1. :oI - The "Up" Cup (Decaf);  to wake you... as the smooth aroma entices you and the silky taste prepares you for -

2. :o) - The "Happy" Cup (The One w/ Caffeine!); as the neurons start to fire and the body kicks to life, shifting into "high" gear,  a sense of well-being overcomes...

3. :o[ - The "Angry" Cup; (Decaf) "well-being" is cast aside as the desire to choke the living daylights out of a random stranger for all the problems in the world ensues... plus you no longer get the rush from the caffeine so that pretty much bums you out...

4. :o\ - The "Motivation" Cup (Decaf/Optional Caf cup);  after realizing that violence isn't (necessarily) the answer and the fact that you've been sitting at the coffee shop for a few hours, this cup "snaps" you back to the reality that you actually have "stuff" to do and so, with this refill... you leave... and either get some stuff done (if you went with the Caf) or crash on the couch (with the Decaf option!)

There you have it...  Now go grab a cup of mud and indulge a bit...
