Folks, bear with me here for the next few entries or weeks (whichever comes first), as I venture into sketchy territory with one of these newfangled "weblog" deals. From now on, if all goes well, my entries will be concisely archived, searchable, and most impressively, comment-able. I know you like that power, and I look forward to even more time wasted on the Internet, checking to see if people have commented on my latest nonsense.
There may be some formatting/aesthetic issues while I iron out the kinks of this goddamn software/applet/stylesheet. It looks okay on my computer, but not perfect yet, (type is slightly too big, etc). I also severely tweaked the template, so there's a very good chance that I did some irreparable damage and will have to start over at some point. As it stands, I've probably got 5-6 hours sunk into implementing this new system, and it's just shy of midnight, and I want to go home.
In real-life news, another super-busy week here. Not much socially to report, a few trips out to eat (pictures coming later, once I spend more time with this). A trip to Carol's last night was surprisingly eventful: I was invited to sit with a table of strangers, under the premise that "Hey bubba, c'mere. This girl here thinks yer cute." The guy was probably bullshitting me, and I felt like a fool, but I joined them and made limited conversation when the decibel levels allowed it. I talked motorcycles/scooter and heavy metal with the guy, and eventually warmed up enough to talk to the girl. She's cute, we exchanged e-mails today and I think some mediterranean food may be in the works...
Also, I've recently decided to turn my scooter into what is known as a "rat bike." This will entail a matte-black paintjob, a shaved front fender (possibly Lambretta front fork conversion?) a new "chopper" style bi-level style seat with tall, ironing-board backrest, highway pegs for my feet, some new accessory lights and crashbars, saddlebags, skull motifs, electrical tape, and whatever other accessories can be spray-painted black and conjure images of filthy, renegade bikers. I will also add a new 5-port LML 150 motor for added speed and reliability (I wanted to get a new Stella, but don't want the burden of having a "brand-new shiny" ANYTHING). Don't worry, I plan to keep the bike totally street legal and am not cutting down the legshield or losing the cowls (just yet).
I plan to make a long ride down to a cycle salvage place called "Throttle Masters" tomorrow midday, to see what I can score in the way of add-ons.
Way to go on the blogged, commentable format. Tune it up and get it up to speed. I have a lot to say.
Oh yeah, I thought I'd take this opportunity to pop this fucker's cherry with some smut.
Here goes: Fuck, dick, pus, ass, fart, motherfucker, cocksucker, damn, hell, fun bags, goddamnit, tarnation, dong, taint, shit, shitcake, shitstain, shitville, for shits, shits and giggles...
Phew, just a little brother-to-brother cheer from the West Coast...over the mountains, 'cross the plains into downtown Chi-cago.
Best of luck. Feel free to edit this down to something reasonable and tasteful.

P.S. Pee, piss, trim, cans, hoochie.

Posted by: joseph x. burke at July 18, 2005 09:48 PMCongrats, bucko! Now your website can be a forum for MCAD dude in-fighting, just like draplindustries.com. Kurt, get ready for a few stern blows! Draplin, you're mine, bitch. P.J., get ready to play referee.
I'm down with the Rat Bike. It makes me think of Rat Fink. When I'm in Chi-Town I'll paint some sick evil metal shit on there. Bloody skulls and winged demons and shit. DIO!!
Posted by: Ryno at July 18, 2005 09:49 PMPJ, great to see a comments section to this already fine website. This has always been a fun place.
Let‚s see what other scabs I have to call out :
KURT- never fear, I have arrived. You invoked my name multiple times like Beetlejuice so here I am. How's that beard comming along by the way?
DRAPLIN- a new section and already a conscious stream of profanity! Ever the poet...
RYNO- you never cease to amaze me. PJ has the site up like what, 10 minutes, and already you are pissing off people? Plus, do you REALLY want to get Kurt of all people fighting mad? Are you THAT tired of living?
Where the hell is Berhling?
Or Master Bill Bartelone?
Peace and Harmony,

1. I disagree with both Kurt and Draplin. Fuck all the ascending/descending bullshit. It should be programmed so that whatever I enter goes straight to the top, and when a reader scrolls past it, 173 pop-up windows of teenage/midget/upskirt/anal/and latina porn open, until the viewers' browser crashes.
2. In the future, any Ladies contacting PJ via this site, must first contact, and be approved by me. This includes a sampling of any Vegan/non-vegan sweet goodies and whatnot. I am the Official Screening Service of PJ Chmiel, and I don't know what the hell's been going on here.
3. Andy - Beetlejuice or Candyman? I'm terrified.
4. Carry on, people.
Mmmm...
"Vegan sweet goodies from a girl."
I could go for some of THAT right now.
Ryno, I'll solicit pop-up window advertising from the midget latina upskirt MILF totally raw and uncensored teen site of your choice...but my first pick would be Suicidegirls.com. Wow.
UI standards typically afford the user with the luxury of "newest" post at the top. However, this is usually accompanied by a more prominent display of WHAT the user is seeing. The only way a user would care if the newest is on the top is if they KNEW the oldest were below. I typically don't read the dates/times of the posts so it makes no difference - it's all one long stream of banter.
Of course, banter is bad, it leads to interaction, which leads to friends, which can only lead veganism. $.02
