As poorly as I’ve been keeping up this blog, its only going to get worse. I’m taking a hiatus (sp), so I’ll be back to update again July 21. Until then…
Vin Diesel felt “emotional” was too long of a word to describe a genre of music, so he assassinated the leader of the Word Control Association of America and appointed himself president. His first act was to create the term “emo”.
Vin Diesel designs and crafts every individual piece of Ikea furniture himself in a non-descript shack located somewhere in Izmir, Turkey.
In the unlikely event of his death Vin Diesel can perform his own autopsy.
I haven’t done this for a while, so I figured I needed to sit down and post a few links that have been taking up space in my bookmarks folder.
It just occured to me that it has been…maybe a year since I last ate a banana. Strange.
The other day, I was driving to the store, and I was looking at a bumpersticker on the car ahead of me. So I took off my sunglasses and squented and wondered why my telescopic vision wasn’t working. Then I remembered that I don’t have telescopic vision. For a moment, I was sad, then I put my sunglasses back on and bought a taco.
I used to believe that if you buried your pets in your backyard that they’d come back to life and try to come in your house. Therefor, it was always wise to bury your dead pets in someone else’s backyard (unless you were fond of the undead).
A nice read for the Star Wars season. For those of you who don’t know, the lightsaber is the weapon of a Jedi. Here is an explaination of how exactly it operates.
For those of you without a lightsaber…
There are people in this world who dress up and act like clowns; I don’t like these people. I am not clownophobic (or to be politically /scientifically correct, coulrophobic). I do not fear clowns. Really. I don’t. They are just not nice people. They scare little kids, they cause neurosis in some adults, they have big floppy feet, they try to fit too many of their kind in a car, I could go on and on.
Putting words in the mouth of the president. What more can I say. Several are put to music. Interesting.
A kind of word association project. They give you “one word” and you are asked to write a short paragraph describing and defining the word.
A simple and addictive game that I seem to be slightly hooked on.
Sitting here in my chair, watching Citizen Kane, it occured to me that I could quite easily sit here and type in this thing.
Mowing the yard today reminds me of two things: 1) During the spring months, I, like my father, am allergic to just about everything that utilizes photosynthesis (as well as a few things that don’t), and 2) I have neither the strength nor weight to push a lawn mower up a hill. The depressing thing is, it isn’t even that big of a hill.
Pariah came out this week, for the Xbox. I will shortly rent it and force my friends to play through multiplayer before I buy it. In a related story, Microsoft will debut its next-gen console (360) a week from tomorrow on MTV.
Earlier today, I began monkeying about with the RSS feed-reading feature of Thunderbird. My only complaint: The Onion doesn’t support RSS. Just about everything else, I’ve got covered. If the Onion had RSS, I would read it more. Ah, but complaining accomplishes little.
I’m trudging through page six of a new story, my first attempt at the first person in years. Its plot is pretty strong, and I’m confident in its dialogue and ending. Now if I can devote enough time and energy in its direction, I might just finish it before I have to put it aside to do all the things I have scheduled for the summer.
I’m going to go do something else for a while.
I promised a guy I would post this. I found it in a forum and adopted it as my own.
I am currently reading “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”, and have all five books on my harddrive for future reading. Also, I’ve got the radio show that the books were based on. Now, to find time to ingest it all.
I had a tire blow out today while I was driving down the road. Fun times. Now, more links.
Im not sure what this is, but I think it is hilarious.
A brief timeline covering the past of this thing I use so often. Helpful to know, important to remember. As you already know, unless we know our past, we are doomed to repeat it. I don’t want that.
I know this was mentioned on G4 the other night, but I found it before that. I was the 163rd person to register; I joined the second day it was up, which was Sunday, I think. A nice little experiment in human thought and the collective consciousness of the internet. Fun to read, and a point of pride for me.
A site I found containing several thousand high quality wallpapers for your comp. I like it.
How to destroy the earth
An old site (I found it a while back), but still worth your attention. A realistic view o how to destroy the world. (hint: most of them involve waiting)
“When he wrote Leviticus, Vin Diesel predicted the Armageddon would occur when he did not star in the sequel of XXX. They offered the leading role to Vin Diesel, but he declined because he wanted to destroy the world.”
Alright, I may need to get help for this. I seriously can’t stop. I’m getting nothing done. Everytime I sit down to post on this thing, I go back to that site. I wonder if there is a twelve set program for this sort of thing.
” Vin Diesel is simultaneously the Lord of the Rings, the Lord of the Dance, and The Lord.”
Man, have I fallen behind in keeping this thing up? Saturday… oh, the weekend. My parents bought a new vacuum cleaner today, a Windtunnel. Man, are our carpets clean. I have a folder full of bookmarks to clean out, so here goes:
Not just a dessert item any more. Take note of the url when you get a chance. Clever.
A fun little game involving current events and random guessing. Frustrating, but a few minutes entertainment.
” If God made a burrito so hot that even He could not eat it, Vin Diesel would eat it with Fire sauce from Taco Bell.”
I couldn’t help myself.
Binary Translator:
Its application, I have no idea. but fun, none the less.

More later, perhaps.
