You are never too old to do something, Jc. I didn't run my first marathon until I was 41. I used to do a lot of shorter races before that, just little 1, 2 and 3 milers, but I never in a million years thought I could ever run 26 miles. I always figured it would have been easier to jump up and touch the moon. Now I like to run them because it gives me a goal to work towards. Running a marathon isn't something a person can just go out and do just for the heck of it. It takes a lot of time and commitment which makes it all the more rewarding when you cross the finish line.

Oooookaaayy. Back to writing about my crappy computers again. It seems that the brand new computer that I just paid $300 dollars to have fixed because it already died once has just died again. It is now officially deceased and is soon to be an unrecognizable piece of road kill on one of our nation's highways. I'm not spending another penny on that worthless piece of Toshiba crap. And just in case anybody didn't read that last sentence I said it is a worthless piece of TOSHIBA CRAP!!! If that worthless pathetic company can't build a computer that will last longer than 3 freaking months than don't expect me to have any good things to say about their stupid company or their stupid worthless products. TOSHIBA makes garbage!! Do you hear me?? GARBAGE I said!!! Now I have to go rob a ba...uhh...I mean get a "loan" from a bank so I can buy yet another freaking computer preferably from a different company that supposedly knows what the heck they are doing. This will be my fourth computer in the past six months. Un-freaking-believable. Stupid computers.

Never heard of that type of computer . Is it a made up one for your post? ;D Mine was made by Gateway and I will never get another Gateway.. They should all come with warranty .. I'm sure the next one will be the best computer you ever had. I got a little man's head going to all my pages with me up in my toolbar who does not belong there. I accidently downloaded something called stonevault.. stupid me. Now this man pops up everywhere I go and tells me I have 301 errors in my registry. He wants me to pay to get rid of them. I tried all day under features and programs to uninstall him but he comes on in the uninstall process and actual blocks it. It is young man in a blue shirt. You would have to see him to believe it... He is staring at me from where my bookmark tab is. Darn Darn Darn. I will keep trying . I can call the tech's but they sometimes don't know how to solve the problem. What are they there for if they cannot help a person.. ;D ;D .

No, I didn't just make the name Toshiba up. It is a real live piece of crap. Don't know what their problem is. The first computer I had was a Toshiba and it lasted for almost 10 years with no problems at all. That last one didn't even last a half a year. Maybe it was just a freak accident or something. Or maybe somebody (like the stupid Feds ) is screwing around with my computers to deliberately tick me off. Maybe they think that if they annoy the heck out of me that it will shut me up. Well their sneaky scheme didn't work because I will never shut up. You hear me Feds?? NEVER!! Of course I don't really know why they would want to silence me. It's not like I ever say anything useful. I'm using a Gateway right now. This is actually Casper's computer that I finally managed to get working and he has my other one (which is also a Toshiba ). I have to admit I like the Toshibas better. This one is kind of a pain to get used to just because it is so different. We'll see how long this one last now that my computer destroying hands are on it.

I know y'all are probably getting tired of reading about my computer problems but this is getting so ridiculous it is almost funny. Two days ago I dropped the computer in my truck on the floor and the screen broke. Needless to say it didn't work very well after that. Today I took the truck to the repair shop to have the computer fixed. They spent several hours working on it and by the time they were finished it looked brand new. Heck, it might even have been brand new for all I know. I pulled out of the yard and started driving along as happy as a clam in the sand because my computer was fixed. I got about 30 miles down the road and...it shut off. Then came back on...then off again. It's been doing that ever since. It will turn on for a few minutes then it turns off. Naturally every time I try to use it it shuts off. So now I have to make an appointment with the repair shop once again. This is unbelievable.

Who is that Unmasked Man?The life of a super hero is never easy. In addition to having to go out and battle invading aliens, rescue damsels in distress, fight evil politicians and get stuck bigfeets out of trees there are also the really difficult problems like washing stains out of your costume, buying batteries for your light saber and finding a place to use the restroom while wearing a silly looking set of brightly colored tights. All of these things are made even more difficult by the ever present multitudes of prying eyes that would love to get a look at the man behind the mask. Well, it seems that a couple of pairs of eyes did just that. For the past few years I have been sneaking around the internet searching for the truth, administrating forums (this one anyway : and being a general pain in the rear to every UFO organization in the country, all safe in the knowledge that nobody had a clue who I was or what I really looked like. Unfortunately the gig appears to be up. Thanks to a couple of our forum bloodhounds named Lois and Louise (sounds like the title of a movie ) my secret identity has been exposed. Somehow they managed to sniff up a picture of me with Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett. (He's the one on the left) It's the only photo I have ever posted of myself on the internet and somehow they managed to find it. Figures. Now everybody in the world knows what I look like. I'm sure people will soon be pounding on my door and chasing my car down the street begging for autographs while beautiful women will practically be throwing themselves at my feet...yeah, right. Oh, well. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later. I'm going to miss being anonymous but I suppose having my picture plastered all over the internet might have its advantages. Like perhaps...ummm...well...actually I can't think of any. So the next time you hear somebody shout "Look! There goes Sky! He's chasing a bird...He's chasing a plane..." You will know it's just me.

Well I did not have a heart attack like you thought I would. ;D All these years I have had this image of you when I post or reply. I hate speaking to a black wall in my head. ;D When I seen this I said to myself . Wow . Sky looks a lot like I thought he would. But I was looking at the Dallas Coach. ;D ;D So now you know my secret.. I have not got use to this yet. Like now I see you as you always were in my mind. Is that strange or crazy or what? . I'm trying sky, it will just take time. If you had not waited for all those years it would be a lot simpler for me. You have a very nice face. I remember that first year at Mufon. I e-mail you about five pics of my self. So you could seen me as my first encounter second encounter third encounter. etc. You told me. Shamira if you want me to show you a photo of myself I will send it. But I never answered . I figured it you wanted to be a mask man that is the way is should be. But then I did not know I would be waiting for another century to go by to see your face. ;D That was a stupid move on my part. ;D Many do not like their faces on the internet. I can understand that. My family was the same way for years. but they have come around more lately.. Thanks for the photo. My husband said .. " Lois that is the Dallas Coach" ;D He thinks every thing and everyone is not really telling you truths on the internet . I think this made him think when I tell him things now from this forum. Don't wait forever next time.. shami..

note. He never believed a word darkangel said. He was on a trip in the Med. living on a yacht going from one beautiful place to another. He said he is probably a guy who washes windows living high on a Mountain somewhere.. ;D ;D Glad Adam is not here to see this.. ;D ;D You offer that photo as Harmony put on a photo she said was you . That guy in front of his computer wearing a tin foil hat. ;D ;D No matter how many times you replied trying to make folks realize it was not you. I still had my doubts.

Well look at you all!!! Out showing yourself to the world! lol Good for you! Sky, sounds like you're gonna have to just take a pic of yourself in a tinfoil hat for good measure (just kidding) I agree with "M" all of you look the way I envisioned you too, except for Charles. (sorry Charlie , thought you to be more bald and greyer, and not so "cool" lookin but hey, kudos to you for not looking the way I pictured ya! ) All of you are awesome in my book!(even before I knew what you look like) A+'s all around!

I wasn't planning on doing this. If Shami and Louis hadn't of posted the photo on their facebook pages I would still be sneaking around being sneaky. I just figured that since people on facebook knew what I looked like I may as well show the peoples over too. Of course it could be like Scooby doo where even after the bad guy is unmasked he's still wearing another mask underneath. Maybe I really am the Cowboys coach and maybe the Cowboys coach is just disguised as me.

By the way where is my pic? I can send another if this that one does not fit. ;D

I'll get your picture on very soon, Shami. I'm on my cell phone right now and I can't do anything till I can get back on my puter. As for the size the photos should be most people use either 400 or 640. Anything much bigger than 700 will be too big for some computer screens to handle. When I put photos on I can adjust them to whatever size I need them to be so it doesn't matter how big they are if you send one to me.

As usual, my job is under major scrutiny. This is "contract renewal" time, and rigorous testing time. I believe that Spring has arrived, and we know what that does to young people who have been cooped up and tested ;D. It really is a small world (for me ). If I want to continue to share such personal detail on TEOR, I have to stay as 'private' as possible.
