THAT guy in stock, Will, yeah" so when i put in Will it says "Gimp" which is even better because he has a mysterious gimp. ehehehe. he thought that was pretty funny. so did i.

She and her band blew the fucking roof off the oldest club in the city. Considering the show was relatively unannounced, I was surprised at the diversity of people who showed up to totally pack the house She's every bit as good as P+E when it comes to her show, although P+E has better crowd participation. I knew it was gonna be a good night when after driving all over the place looking for a place to park, we pulled around the front of the club and someone was just pulling out of the parking spot not 10 feet from the club's front door. Had the pleasure of just staggering right out to our car! So, the Photoshop question... I have done this before many times but have not used Photoshop in a long time and have forgotten how it's done. The basic concept is say, for example, a page full of various stickers. Each sticker exists as a separate graphic image. How do I create a "document" that is 8.5X11 inches that represents the sticker page and then start placing the sticker graphics on that page, with the original image sizes intact? Meaning that if I had created a sticker that is 3X4.5 inches and then when I place/drag that image on my "document" the dimensions of that image are still 3X4.5 inches. I know the basic idea is to create a new image that is 8.5X11 inches and then open each graphic/sticker and move/drag/import/place/copy that graphic onto/into the "document". I'm drawing blanks on the proper method for copying/dragging/importing the graphics, and also it seems like each graphic had to have it's own layer in the "document". Simple page layout question I know, but I haven't done this type of thing in about a year now. "Communication is not just words...

I used to work as a bartended so I was getting off work at 3 am when I got pulled over. By Law they're supposed to tell you why you were pulled over before they ask for you license. They didn't and when I asked why I was pulled over they said they would tell me later. They searched me, my car and gave me a DUI test. after they found nothing they let me go telling me that I was pulled over because the little light over me license plate was not working (For all of you non-Californians, Our Plates are white and glow when light hits them). They were going to write me a ticket and then I informed them of the laws they broke pulling me over. I got off with a warning. So for all you travelers.
