What I'm Listening to: Mitch Hedberg
What I'm Wearing (I brought it back): UT Shirt and swimsuit
GUESS WHAT?!?!?! I JUST GOT THE LATEST RANKING FOR MY BLOG ON TECHNORATI!!! I'M 1,538,539!!! w00t
actually I suck... oh well
YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED!!!!! AHHHHHH
So I just got back in town... the radio is my new best friend. If not for that I would have died on the 8-9.5 hour trip. They played some latter-day Metallica, and I gotta say, IT SUCKED ASS. Maybe 4 riffs for the whole song, and the drums sounded like utter crap. Honestly.
I miss Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. Hell, even The Black Album is great by comparison!!!! Just goes to show you, once you're famous, even if you produce crap, it'll sell like hotcakes... hotcakes of crap.
This week I'll be trying out for a play... wish me luck. Someday I could be a famous actor. That'd be nice. Fame and fortune is always a plus. Then again I could be a shitty actor with no life and a sleazy apartment and borrowing money from my mom. Meh, fame and fortune is worth it

Breaking News!! Rip Down Those Old Science Posters!
What I'm Wearing: Same as before, it's the same day, knumb-knuts. What I'm Listening to: Heartbreaker
Everyone, it's official. Pluto is not a planet anymore. The definition of "planet" has been changed to "(a) celestial body that is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit" Anything that doesn't meet the last requirement is either a dwarf planet or a satellite. Well, to be honest, I'm relieved that the International Astronomical Union has forsaken their old, vague definition that left holes for argument. It wasn't their fault, planets started out with a definition of being pushed by bloody angels. Now that they can make "planet" mean whatever they want, you'd expect these high-brow nitpickers to be able to start fresh and give a perfect definition that can't be argued. They use very exact, precise, scientific terms, like "neighborhood," and on a side-note, WHO DECIDES WHATS NEARLY ROUND?!?!?! sigh... IAU, you deserve a ferret in the crotch. At least this solves the problem of whether or not large asteroids and Kuiper Belt shiz qualifies, but apparently Charon lives down the block from ol' Pluto. Shot down.
If you haven't noticed, I have been updating and will be updating old posts to make them less... bad, so check 'em out every few days or so and you might find a new joke or a new spelling :P
So far, my blog has been pretty well recieved, even inspiring my old, dear friend to take back up the noble pursuit of wasting time and recording it being done (www.bsmith91.blogspot.com). I even inspired a second person (www.nondumblonde.blogspot.com)!!! They're both great blogs, check 'em out. Thank you for your undying support... you noble 3-4 people, you. Someday, I hope to have at least 10 people following this blog. Maybe someday much later, 50. Hu b da 1 hu nos? Please! I work hard on this baby and every time you look you do me a favor. Thanks again, you're the greatest.
Before I leave you, I would like you to know some of my inspirations for taking up blogging. Hayden, because it was the first time i ever saw blogspot. Wait, I forgot, Sara's was. NVM, W/E, AYBABTU, LEEROY JENKINS, GOD. So kudos to Sara, Caro (whom I barely know in real life), and Katherine for being the first peopel to have a blog I liked. K in particular, just cuz I read hers most (sorry others!).
PEACE, and I would like to leave you with a random factoid or 2:
As you talk, earwax comes out of your ears... gross
Koalas sleep 22 hours a day (they live the life)
Apparently, there's no word that rhymes with either "orange," or "month" (no, "gunth," short for "gunther" doesn't count)
Mosquitos prefer children to adults and blondes to brunettes... my blonde friends, i feel for ya
More people have seen David Copperfield perform live than any other performer in the world... but more people have seen jenna jameson "perform" alone
Bluebird's cannot see the color blue (how do they avoid mating with crows?!?!)
anyway

Another Foray Into My Mind... You've Been Warned
What I'm Listening to: Nothing, I Don't Want More Tinnitis!!... but towards the end ill give in and it will be "Truckin'" What I'm Wearing: Dry Fit Shirt
This day was destined to suck
It began with a ring... the doorbell. I thought to myself "F**KIN' A!!! It's the painters!!! I hope my brother is awake." Another ring. I rolled over and moaned (no innuendo, folks). I thought "PLEASE, GOD, LET MY LITTLE BROTHER BE OF USE FOR ONCE!!!" I started to drift off back into sweet sleep... then a final ring of doom.
It didnt get much better after that.
My lazy-ass foo' brother never seems to be able to get up. However, I used this to my advantage today. If you've never poured ice-cold water on someone asleep, try it. It's fun. However, they will get revenge, which is why my dry-fit shirt is soaking wet and I'm still wide the f**k awake.
Blogging is appealing to me because I can get an accurate snapshot of my thoughts at any given point in time (right now, I can only get one for 1 day ago). For that purpose, and I suppose your entertainment, I shall give birth to a NEW HOPEFULLY RECURRING SEGMENT: My life in 4 words
Slacker... but I care
Mmmmmmmmmm i am running out of crappy talking subjects so its time for a review!!
actually, I'll spare you from a review of something you already know i like, so why dont you TELL ME what you'd like to hear about. If I had my way, this blog would be even more uninteresting and unintelligible and almost entirely dedicated to ritz-bitz, classic rock, and Monty Python jokes you've all heard a thousand times. Now i will venture a guess for what you want me to do, and it's not shut the hell up, its... its....
TODAY IN POLITICKING-LAND
Breakthrough technology in stem-cells, as scientists have developed a techinique that will (ideally) SAVE THE EMBRYO!!! THATS RIGHT!!! YOU HEARD ME! It appears as though this new method, which involves taking one cell after the embryo has become 8 in total, will resolve the entire issue, right?
WRONG
While the method is naturally not 100% infallible, nothing is. This is plenty for the Catholic Church (who never fail to make me proud, from Holy Crusadin' and massacring those who differ to their intolerance of... anything) to bitch about. In discovering this technique, many embryos were destroyed. BIG WHOOP. It's over. STOP COMPLAINING!! Live in the now, senor popey, or is that too much to ask? Now, to explain why I like this technique, I will simply quote one of the 4 articles ive read on it. "(the) method... is derivative of a diagnostic technique used in in vitro fertilization known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In order to test embryos thought to be at risk for serious genetic defects, PGD removes a single cell, or blastomere, from a couple’s embryo and examines it in a lab for irregularities. If determined to be healthy, the embryo can then, in many cases, be implanted into a woman’s uterus and is able to regenerate the lost cell and continue developing. In practice, Lanza’s technique would take a blastomere from an embryo donated for PGD, allow it to divide, and use the new cells to create stem-cell lines while sending one of the cells off for genetic diagnosis." alright, so that seems logical. However, some scientists have disapproved of the idea, saying that removing a cell could cause potential health problems. That seems entirely plausible, but this makes one thing certain. This process wouldnt even be necessary if not for people like Bush (who used his first veto against it) and Pat Robertson (the guy's as much of a tool as carson daly... plus hes INSANE) who cling to ancient values to avoid thinking for themselves. the one certain thing that i mentioned earlier is this...
ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE EASIER IF ASSASSINATION WERE LEGAL!!!!!!!!!
Some targets:
Bush, Kerry, Pat Robertson, Sid Vicous.... his corpse at least, the critic who walked out of Clerks II, Lennon's killer (DONT SAY HIS NAME... it makes him more famous, giving him sick satisfaction), Lindsay Lohan for being in a movie about John Lennon that makes his murderer more famous.... sigh, Hilary Duff... because i feel liek it, Your Mom, people who dislike this blog (sleep with one eye open), and dave letterman... wait i like him screw that
Ok so this post was kinda weird... im getting the hang of this though so bear with me
lastly ill give a quickie review of something... a movie that all of you have probably seen
Will Ferrell's TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY
First off, this movie is undeniably funny. Nobody can bash that there are many snort-worthy lines in this cheesy flick. Will Ferrell nails his role head-on enough to where you expect him to sprout a mullet and buck teeth. The plot makes little sense, but whatever, its a friggin comedy. Now for the downsides... this movie would suck on television because not only are there commercials between parts of the movie, there are commercials IN THE @^#%^$$%$%@!&!#);D#&$^&%$ MOVIE!!! It's kind of a sell-out in that sense, and the actual applebee's commercial in it is completely unnecessary and unfunny. Plus, the second time, I barely even chuckled, much less snorted my boogers up to my brain like the first time. The lines are funny enough to quote and not be considered even more of a loser, and its worth seeing, but this is nowhere near as funny as some stuff out there and has a decent enough plot... but nothing special.
-5 through +5 (0 inclusive), with +5 being a walk in the park with the love of your life and -5 being a walk in the park with a bum stalking you and suspiciously eyeing your butt and a hurricane coming in
This movie gets a +2.5
woot
Thats about it. The first draft of this post sucked harder than Monica Lewinsky, but with a few rewrites and edits I think it's become readable. BTW: now I'm listening to "Peaches on Regalia"
Questions? Comments? Legitimate beefs? I owe you money? You have my e-mail and probably my number. Personally, I like my blog, and I hope you will, too, so help me out, here!!

The First Rant
tonight is august 23, currently listening to "Children of the Grave," currently wearing a T-Bar shirt
after many many months of denial and trying to convince myself otherwise, ive decided i need a blog. too much shit on my mind and too many friends who dont want it forced down their throats. Now, you can be offended and (on occasion) repulsed at your own leisure. basically, the way i intend to write is simple and clean. type what the voice in my head says and look over and remove any ethnic or religious slurs at the end (the voice in my head is a son of a bitch). topics for this blog will be harsh reviews of whatever im doing at the time and rants when my creative kiddie-pool (not quite a cesspool yet) runs dry. first off, a few days ago i saw a movie with some friends...... (and a stranger, and eichenwald... jk adam)
Accepted is the title of this college humor/rom com/feel good/fight the power/teenage movie. in my opinion, the movie is completely driven by a few funny characters. the rest blow. the lead role of "bartleby gaines" is supposed to be likeable, but the guys a douche and blows his semi funny lines. lewis black cameos... its not as good as youd think. its like "Back in Black," but his comedy is supposed to teach kids. The movie is implausible (the rejects who attended the school and magically had dorms would never want to learn, thats why they were rejected), and the plot is completely predictable. the characters have all been seen before a million times (the fat, unpopular sidekick whos a whiz, the black guy, the girl, the parents), and those who havent SHOULD have been the stars (the eccentric guy w/the fro, lewis black, the "blow shit up with my mind" fellow, the pizza delivery guy turned rocker, and the beanpole w/add). all in all, its got the makings of a feel-good, fun summer comedy. however, its use of stereotypes keeps it from being like animal house or something and lowers it to the status of a college comedy aimed at teens who like their movies to be all about stereotypes and in the comfort zone. i laughed, but would never see it again cuz between the laughs, theres nothing
this movie gets the first review of my life and i have a new system. i will award movies/music/whatever between -5 and +5, -5 being the guy who invented ska and +5 being the person who invented sex
Accepted gets a +1
one thing i noticed in this movie, the "likeable" main character "B" uses a mac. hes going to college. guess who macs are supposed to sell to? macs are now being used as a fashion statement and used by "cool" (in the most sarcastic way possible) people by apple to START that trend. dont be their pawn, focus on the reality of the situation. macs are spectacular, but dont get them for the wrong reason. and please, dont bash pc users. we have HL2 and Civ-IV, so whatever you say doesnt even matter. "but macs can run windows," i dont care. im not buying a new computer and copy of windows just for the pretty looks. plus, i like my double click and microsofts jerky about letting others enjoy it. in conclusion, macs are alright, but dont try to convert me. if i had the money (and a new guitar, and a new amp, and a new pc, and a copy of "We're Only In It For The Money," AND a new tennis racket), i would probably get a mac, m'kay?
Thats about it. Feedback? Comments? Concerns? Legitimate beefs? Pregnant with my kid? Drop me a line, or just IM me or use FB or MySpace or comment, W/E, I'd like to know. Your recommendations are totally welcome. Most posts won't be half this long, so don't worry about that.
