I've grown up with my brother the way all brothers do (it was just me and my brother, 2,5 years age diff., i was youngest).
At a young age he was proud of me, i was just a baby. Hell, he even saw me as a new toy to play with (tell the neighbour kids i was a vampire with evil teeth and such...and yes, somehow they believed him). But as time grew -and so did we-, we grew apart as most brothers do at those ages. Whenever and wherver we went we would fight. Fighting wasn't something that occured sometimes....nooo, it was a goal of it's own, it had to be done, one way or the other.
I reckon my parents weren't particularly fond of us fighting all the time, especially coming home to broken glass and seeing my brother smile as he told them he smashed my head through it. I still tell myself such things -just happen-.
Anyways, puberty hit...'t was an interesting period of my life (to say the least). I got along with my brother up-to-a-point...and this point was made as-long-as-we-played-basketball. Whenever we set foot off the court....well, agreeing on topics was something as common as an iraqi not digging in his t-72.
Things changed though: my brother moved out. How a turn our relationship towards each other took. We went from sworn enemies (i stopped playing basketball alltogether a while before, imagine the time in between) to good friends. Hell, after about a year we even started going out to town together. We drank our first drinks together, and my brother showed me how to smoke pot (how nice the dry bottom of a pie can taste when you've smoked for the first time!) for the first time. One year later my brother even started hanging out with me and my friends....we really got along great.
Eventually he moved to the other side of town, one year later i decided to even buy an apartment two buildings apart from him (that's how close we got, he's the main reason i didn't move to a city closer to work). Things didn't change much, we became best friends.
But sometimes we get ingot fights over the smallest things....we have discussions all the times, but not fights. Fights is what we get when we've drank....not the fights where we end up hitting each other, but one of us goes home angry...usually over nothing. But last week (and here's what's got me writing this post) we got another fight over something small (my brother not giving me an extra beer home...even though i bloody paid for them...i still think i am right for beeing pissed about him beeing an egoistical bastard ;-). But this time i didn't call him the next day...this time i feel i'm right about beeing pissed. Or i just feel that i have to make a point...i don't know for sure.
One thing i've learned over the years....alcohol never does any good over the long run.
I'll post here when we've settled ;-)

"i shouldve shrinked it...i know. But nothing more i can do about it."
this is untrue
my advice at this time as a long time uber user:
shrink the pic, repost the post, it will knock the old one off the list and only the new one
will be there. then people can see you and your preppy brother on your preppy boat and properly trash you.
(mind you nomatter what your first few posts are
they will get thrashed, just keep on trucking...)

LOL Hairsphincter, if one...i'll be the fat one of the two.
And i don't post here -just to please you-. If you thought that: get a reality check.
I posted because i felt like it...if you don't like it, i won't sleep any less this night.
So i guess you feel as much about my post, as i feel about your reply...hehe

Btw, kgbpasha...i've been lurking here quite a while now...but i've never rated an item i didn't read.
If you're complaining about wasting time...you're wasting it on your own account when youre rating/replying to those that you didn't even bother to read.
Think and read before you rate.
(that doesn't mean i mind a -2 when you've actually read....but just like a post, you can't rate a book without reading it, just because the cover looks like shit)

One thing about uber and complaints about the size of picture. I don't know about cgi; but in asp programming language it would be very easy to set a max image size....i even think a msg board i post on is writting with cgi scripts and does that much... Would be better if they implemented that here as well.....but that's just me wishing less -2's because of pic size....lol!

What everyone else said. Didn't bother reading it I think you know why. On Uber size is important. Bigger is not always better. Don't mess with Texas. I did once and regretted it.
What's this all about you ask? It's about having to read pointless shit hour after hour thinking
that you've found something interesting and then finally facing the fact that what you've just
read sucks ass on many levels. Welcome aboard, good luck hunting.

Sorry if i didn't make myself clear enough....
I had two webspaces on my previous internet provider (the one that provided my home conn)...one business (which the gave free) and one for home use. The home use account was properly closed...but the business one they left open...well, not for uploading...but the left the data on it (their bad). So this picture is up there, and i downloaded and uploaded to this forum straight away....i shouldve shrinked it...i know. But nothing more i can do about it.
As for abbrivations...sorry, but i could not care less about people liking or disliking them, if you don't like the text or picture, i'll take that as something to improve...but abbrivations..they're a way of life.
As for spelling...once again...i'm using the dutch excuse...hehe

The problem is not just the picture but the fact that the picture makes the text impossible to read because you got to scroll back and forth for every damn line. Thus making both text AND photo useless. Its not to late to shrink the photo and redeam yourself. Just save the photo to disk, then shrink it using.... oh fuck it....
It's hopeless.

Picture was at lake Tahoe...we went to states last year on vacation.
I know the picture is large, but it resides on my previous provider's webspace which i can't alter atm. And i'm sharing a conn with neighbours atm, so no webspace to up-load on.
My sincere apologies about the large picture.
I'll try better next post! ;-)

You should write your posts in word first so you can use spell checker. You are going to a get load of -2's because you announced it was your first post.
what lake is that by the way? that surrounding almost looks familiar
