What a better way of getting my dream car then owning the company?

August 31st, 2006 · 1 Comment

Seriously!? Ford says they are “exploring” startegic options for Aston Martin. The high end car company they finished buying in 1993 and added to Jag, Land Rover, Daimler and Volvo as part of the Premier Automotive Group.  
So I’m really freaking out here. On one hand, I kind of hope someone actually picks up this brand [...]

Music catch up time..

August 29th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Is it just me, or is Outkast’s new track catchy as all hell? I’m very interested in actually checking out the movie. Most people seem to be panning the flick but the fact that Outkast made, basically, a musical is intreging to me.
Speaking of random music, I discovered a new station on my FiOS [...]

Proof

August 29th, 2006 · 4 Comments

Proof that even a country boy can bounce his head to a little underground/indie hiphop from time to time.
Holla tre-deuce!
Of course he quickly followed that up with some Tim McGraw country crap. Oh and I loved Hoover’s latest tracks list from last.fm were all KT Tunstall. If he was here right now, I’d totally revoke his [...]

I wanna be an Indigo Child.

August 29th, 2006 · 2 Comments

I’m reading random Wikipedia entries and came across one for Indigo Children. They are described as the following:

Indigo children is a term used within the New Age movement to refer to children who claim or who are believed to possess certain special psychological and spiritual attributes.
The Indigo Child concept was first publicized by the book [...]

pr0n S.O.A.P.

August 25th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Has anyone givin any thought to what the name of the pr0n version of this will be? You know like “Saving Private Ryan” became “Shaving Ryan’s Privates”. Apparently the current pr0n, “Snakes in my Shorts” isn’t doing so hot. I think it’s the name.
I know most of them will write themselves but honestly I [...]

Money absolutely makes the world a happier place.

August 24th, 2006 · No Comments

So Jessi linked up an article about how money doesn’t necessarily make you a happier person. Of course they polled people and got some numbers but the way I see it is that 45% of polls are right.
My opinion? I won’t be happy until I’m so stinkin’ rich that I can play all day, [...]

S.O.A.P. is better than you think.

August 22nd, 2006 · No Comments

So Frank, Rachel and I checked out Snakes on a Plane last night. It was much better then I thought it was going to be. MUCH Better. It has now taken it’s place on top of the Best B-Movie’s ever.
They threw every cliche that you would expect from a movie of this caliber: nudity, graphic [...]

My Nemesis

August 21st, 2006 · No Comments

So, I brought this up at Ice Cold’s shindig but now I’m pontificating here.
So for awhile now, since I got the bimmer, I’ve noticed that there is a fella that leaves near us that actually drives a 330ci. This vehicle basically replaced mine after a quick 2 year stint here in the US. I’ve [...]

Yo mamma.. and not teh stupid show on MTV.

August 20th, 2006 · No Comments

I have no idea where these came from but they were sitting in a file in a directory that I’ve not ventured into for (from the time stamp) 3 years. I don’t remember where it came from but I’m posting it for kicks.
We present to you, yomamma.txt:
Yo mama’s so big her belly button’s got an echo.Yo [...]

Potty Mouth, I am.

August 18th, 2006 · No Comments

Disclaimer: This is post lost of naughty, naughty language. You continue to read at your own peril.
So I’m sitting here at work and having an okay time of it when I realized something. My cussing quota meter wasn’t any where near full for the week. I kind of feel a little cheated about that. [...]

Youthful days..

August 16th, 2006 · 1 Comment

So word, I was flipping through some old MP3 cd’s the other day trying to find all my 360 games that were packed up from the move in Feb. Yeah, I really got around to playing those bundles of joy that came with my over-priced 360 bundle from Amazon.
On one of them I discovered [...]

A lot of maybe’s here.

August 14th, 2006 · 1 Comment

 

Maybe I replaced a sink faucet twice in one week.
Maybe I finally got around to picking up Dead Rising.
Maybe I haven’t actually played it.
Maybe I checked out the new release of Windows Live Writer.
Maybe I wrote a plugin to pull the track your listening to.
Maybe you can grab a copy from here.
Perchance (oooooh synonyms) I [...]

Super Hetro’s

August 11th, 2006 · 1 Comment

We bought the BowFlex to get in shape. I bought the BowFlex to get that Superman body I’ve always wanted. Hey, don’t laugh! Atleast it’s a goal.
So I’ve successfully completed 3 weeks of my 20 minute workout 3 times a week (that’s basically an hour a week). I’m only feeling slightly stronger and I [...]

It’s water but with more fizz.

August 10th, 2006 · 1 Comment

I can’t stand water. I know about it’s life giving properties and how you should drink like a gallon of the stuff a day but to me, it sucks. The main problem I have with it? No taste. When I drink something I expect certain things. Like for example, beer. I expect bubbles and depending on [...]

Solo Ride

August 9th, 2006 · 1 Comment

So I had a funny thought the other day. I know, your just as surprise as I was about an actual original thought popping into my head but it was real. Honest.
Anyway the thought. So I’ve been aching to get a new car lately, the bimmer is falling apart slowly:

The fabric around the door is [...]
