We took the kids out fir Little Caesars pizza tonight and then had a little picnic at the park. While we were there, a gaggle of morbidly obese people held some kind of meeting. I thought maybe they were having a eaters anonymous meeting but it ended up being a scrap booking auction. Needless to say, Rebecca and I have decided that scrap booking is not for us if those are the results. 
Jake is here! After waiting for ten months, child #4, Jake, is here! The first couple of nights he was home were a little dicey, but sleeping is for wussies, so we are good. He’s a cute baby and we are stoked to have him. The kids all love Jakey and ask to hold him every couple of minutes. This week is going to be spent close to home and that is a good thing.
I love this video. I hate to admit it, but Justin Timberlake is totally funny…
This song absolutely changed my life in 10th Grade. I still love it. Have fun with the video.
Sometimes people just don’t get what they are saying. The title of this ad is “One Night Stand”. My immediate thought, and maybe I’m a gutter mind, was that it was referring to something sexual, despite it being posted in the free stuff category. The first two sentences didn’t help either. A blond? A slightly broken, contemporary blond? Dude, this guy’s a nut…but I read on and realized he was talking about something else.
Blond and slightly broken. Contemporary. One of the wheels was bent in shipment.
2 drawers.
Will fit nicely next to your bed.
Belonged to my ex. Has lots of hurricane katrina books and magizines inside the drawers. you can have those too.
How funny is that? He’s offering his Ex for a one-night stand….
Here it goes…I’m a total geek. I was only seven years old when Tron hit the big screens, but man, it completely changed my life. My love of computers, my love of technology, and my eventual entry in to the design field that I am in now all trace back to Tron. The graphics are STILL cool. Yeah, it could use some updating, and the new Tron Legacy next year looks like it will be fun, but this movie is a CLASSIC! Here’s the original trailer for your viewing pleasure.
When I moved my blog over to the new site last week I remembered how much I LOVE Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s just this fantastic story, beautifully filmed, and I love the opening of the movie.
“No time to argue, throw me the idol!” Me and my siblings used to say this to each other all the time, especially when we wanted something fast. It’s better if you try to do the accent of Alfred Molina.
People always talk about the big ball rolling behind Indy as he is running out of the cave, but my favorite part of this clip is the part where he is standing in front of the statue getting ready to replace the sand bag in his hand with the idol. The soundtrack, the lighting, and Harrison Ford’s face are just to magical…
Have fun with it. “You could warn them…if only you spoke Hovitos.”
I have a lot of friends that are ultra-wildly-conservative. They also buy in to a lot of the hoopla about our president being a communist and his desiring to indoctrinate our children and take away our guns. My mother-in-law even bought a handgun after the election last year… her reasoning was that after the election we wouldn’t have the right to bear arms anymore.
In my adulthood, I am beginning to realize that I am pretty reasonable, pretty logical, and unable to believe these kinds of wild conspiracy theories. It reminds me of the film Dr. Strangelove. General Turgeson orders a nuclear attack against Russia because he believes that they are responsible for fluoridation, which he believes will dilute his precious bodily fluids and take over the world. Of course, that is the irony of the situation in the movie, among all of the other ironies. For me, it’s very amusing and a direct mirror for all of the wild conspiracies floating around right now.
So, here’s to you, Matt Brown who thinks our president is trying to become a dictator. Here’s to you, friends who are worried about whether the new Supreme Court justice is a woman or a Hispanic. Have fun in the world of fantasy and conspiracy. You’ll like this video.
Does any one else suffer when they don’t sleep much? Man, it’s a tough day today. The last couple of nights I have had alternative sleep arrangements so my endless tossing and turning didn’t bother my nine-month pregnant wife. She’s had a rough time sleeping since last November, so who I am I to complain about a couple of nights? I dunno.
What I do know is that when you are trying to write something coherent, something that people can grab on to and at least understand, it is difficult to do that when you haven’t slept much. I just finished a ten page paper on U.S. Supreme Court rulings on First Amendment rights in the last century and I don’t know if it is crap or not.
It’s frigging labor day, I’m really tired, and I’m sure I look really bad today. Hopefully tonight I’ll get a little rest and be more clear. We’ll see.
I am a conservative man, and this video is still stinking funny…
