Howdy. Glad you're here. Get your fill of my irreverent ramblings. I'll warn you in advance: I complain a lot. But if you can get past that, there's some good stuff here. Enjoy.

I'm SO Doing This...





... But not really. I'm more likely to be a contestant on The Price is Right than American Gladiators. I must say, however, that I'm happy the show is back. I've told th stroy a hundred times to my friends, but the show reminds me of when I was younger. Jim and I used to watch it on those boring days during the summer when there was nothing else on TV. That and Saved by the Bell. There weren't a lot of other kids in our neighborhood, so we had to come up with imaginitive things to do to keep busy. These "imaginative" activities usually involved Jim coming up with some way to kick my butt, and playing pretend Galdiators was always a viable option.

"We're going to play that game... the one where you have to get the ball into the can in the middle of the room and I try to stop you. GO."

This generally resulted in my being body slammed into the ground or catapulted across the room.

Sometimes I'm amazed that Jim and I are as close as we are.

PC Load Letter?

I hate this song. But I love this video.



Pay special attention around 1:28.

New Album to Check Out

I'm pretty music obsessed. Now you know. Look forward to me talking a lot about music I find or that gets recommended to me.

On that note, I've been listening to the new ZOX album, Line in the Sand, nonstop since I downloaded it last week. It's their third major release. A much more mature sound from the band, which hails from Providence, RI. ZOX has one of the most unique (and awesome) sounds I've found in a while. Anyone who can rock on a violin has my vote. Give them a listen. You won't regret it... And once you're in love, download their first tow albums.

Crazy times...



I spent a good amount of time looking through pictures from Jenny and Derek Glenn's wedding last night. Awesome. They really complete the collection of photos (facebook albums here , here and here) from the weekend.


That weekend was one of the most in a long time. Check out the photos for a few gems. I'm pretty sure I made a total idiot of myself, but isn't that what weddings are about?
My favorites are from the reception.

Best Party So Far, That's What Everyone's Been Saying

Australian teenager Corey Worthington has to be the biggest idiot in the world.  Either that or he's a complete and utter genius.  He used MySpace to invite over 500 kids to a party.  Party... aka riot in the streets.  Read a blog post I found on it here.  I can't believe he's pulled that off.  The biggest number I've been able to get anywhere using Facebook or MySpace was about 100 or so kids to the University Pub in Fort Worth for what we dubbed the Ultimate Pub Wednesday.  But 500 people? Nuts.  
Even better is this kids completely irreverent attitude about what happened.  The video is classic.

"No, no. I'll leave these on. I like them."

Why is the reporter so intent on getting him to remove his glasses? Is this the point? I mean, come on, the glasses are famous.

The Obligatory "What Is This Blog About?" Post

Like the above description implies, I created this blog so I would have a place to comment on all the crazy stuff I come across in my life. Be it internet content, crazy conversations, adventures or anything in between, I plan on commenting about it here. In the past, I've tried to create journal-like blogs. I finally quit it with those when I realized that no one really gives a crap about what I would write in my journal. So I'm going to stick with sarcastic, and potentially insightful (not likely) commentary.

Enjoy.
