I'm a Rock Star

I finally put my acappella Jay-Z CD to good use, and made a new MP3:

Jay-Z featuring Black Sabbath - "Iron Shoulders"

the cd's free, but you gotta pay for the t-shirt

Attended Kevin's Birthday Party over the weekend...had a great time, saw a lot of familiar faces, and was again reminded how cool my old job used to be. I also learned a lot about fingernails and Hawaii from Mark Mitchell. Good times.

I'm waiting for the Ocean's Eleven-style "getting the gang back together" caper that we inevitably will pull off one of these days...

And special thanks to Delinda, for the awesome sandwich, and to James for thinking I was cool.

False Start, #21, Offense. 5 yard Penalty, 2nd down.

I left the house this morning, and noticed that I needed gas. I stopped at a gas station close to work, and that's when I realized that I had left my wallet at home.
I had to turn around and drive all the way back home and get it, while every cop in the tri-county area drove behind me, daring me to make an infraction. The dog didn't even get up when I walked in, she just raised her head, gave me a look, and layed her head back down. It did, however, give me an opportunity to listen to more of the new Snow Patrol album...it's totally orson.

On the upside, it's payday! And just like the delicious candy bar of the same name, it's a good thing.

fun with photoshop

I took a photo with my camera phone, and I thought our pose looked like a movie poster...so, I made it into one.

more cake

It's Wednesday, already.

I'm not exactly sure how it happens, but some weeks just lay the hammer down, and cruise on by. Other weeks tailgate you and give you the finger. This is shaping up to be a 'cruise by' week, which is nice.

Also, I'm eating someone else's birthday cake *right now*

On the scale of cool things you can do, that's gotta be at least a 4...

EDIT:

I also forgot to mention that I bought the coolest action figure ever:

so very true

"Blogs are writing intensive. Most people would rather have a root canal done than write something coherent, pithy and provocative every day. It takes talent, skill and training to write down ideas clearly and make them interesting to read. "

hogleg

I was lied to! Tricked! Bamboozled!

No Fair for me, and that's exactly what it is, "no fair"!

In possibly the most wasted weekend ever, I did nothing...(as opposed to being really wasted on the weekend, which would have been *something*)

Now it's monday, and another work week begins...

Crap.

On an unrelated note, here's the Photo of the Day!

Photo of the Day

Friday

hello blog. It's been a a while.

no, I've been busy.

of course I still like you.

it's just that I haven't had anything interesting to write about in the past few days.

what do you mean "that never stopped me before"? what are you saying?

look, I post when I can, and when I have something interesting to say.

no, I can't post tonight, I'm probably going to the State Fair.

I didn't invite you because you're a webpage. we've discussed this.

no, don't cry. c'mon. how about I post about the fair when I get back?

i promise.

talk to you later.

c'mon, don't make me say it.

ok, ok! I love you too, blog.

bye.

We are all fuzzy robots

these are great. buy them.

Inappropriate Nautical References

A few nights ago, I was having a conversation with my Brother and Sister, and the topic of Pirates of the Caribbean star Keira Knightley being really hot came up...

Somehow, this resulted in a contest to see who could come up with the best Pirate-Themed phrase that essentially translated into "I want to bang Keira Knightley"

Here are some of the ones I remember.

She could Walk my Plank / I'd like to Walk her Plank
She could climb my Crow's Nest
She could Hoist my Sails
I'd like to Shiver her Timbers
I'd like to Plunder her Booty
I'd like to Keelhaul her
I'd like to Swab her Poop Deck
I'd like to show her my Peg Leg
I'd like to visit her Briny Deep
I'd like to get in her Davy Jones' Locker

As you can see, they just got dumber and dumber...just like most conversations...

Fun with Google

i thought this was funny:

If you search for "worst president" and "worst president ever" (no quotes) on Google, the first result is the official George W. Bush biography (www.whitehouse.gov/president/gwbbio.html).

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=worst+president+ever&btnG=Google+Search

So, there you have it:

George Bush, the worst president ever.

EDIT: Searching for "Miserable Failure" (no quotes) works too.

FoamCo

That's right, I now work at a place called FoamCo.

FoamCo, INC.

It sounds fake, doesn't it?

It's a company that makes architectural shapes (like columns, crown molding) for buildings, sculpted (either by hand, or by a machine) out of Styrofoam. My first day was yesterday, and it went pretty well...it will take at bit to get the process down, but the job isn't bad at all.

The people who own it are very nice, and kept apologizing yesterday for how "crazy" it was. I honestly didn't notice anything "crazy"...I was focused on not screwing something up on my first day.

I only work there a couple of hours a day, which is nice to start with, because right now I only have a vague idea of what I'm supposed to be doing...

Another week gone by...where does the time go?

I'm going to see Soaked tomorrow night in Harrah at the Harrah Music Hall...Supposedly they start at "9 ish ish"...

As for tonight, I'm thinkin' it will be night filled with "Three's Company" reruns and Half-Life, which just happens to be the best video game ever.

Don't Cry For Me Argentina.

UPDATE:

"9 ish ish" turned out to be 12:35am...

Soaked still rocked the house somethin' proper...

you want some stick-time?

Nothing exciting happened today...but Reno 911 is on tonight..

I love that show.
