All Floyd. All the Time.

This morning I listened to two Pink Floyd records on the way to work (yes traffic was THAT bad). I'm now listening to a third. I'm wondering if I can listen to every Pink Floyd record in a single day. Away we go....

2009 - meh

I'm not that impressed with 2009 as of yet. There seems to be no sense of direction. Just the same shit as last year. So far it looks like this year is going to be just like any other year and, honestly, that scares the hell out of me.

Oh and my nose won't stop bleeding. I wonder what that's about.

People Who Deserve It

Those of you that know me know that I love nothing more than punching people in the face. Ok...not really, but I would LIKE to punch people in the face. Obnoxious people. Rude people. People Who Deserve It.

Which brings me to a wonderful new site I've recently come across...www.peoplewhodeserveit.com.

It's a site dedicated to people who should be punched in the face. Some are funny, some are sad, but all are true. Check it out.

Not As Impressed

While I think that Dr. Pepper's original intention to live up to their word was nice their website was hammered during the time allotted to download the coupon for a free soda and I couldn't get one.

Very upsetting. Free Dr. Pepper is good. Better than regular old "paid for it" Dr. Pepper.

I'm Impressed

I like Dr. Pepper. I think it's great all on its own, but the company has climbed a rung on the respect ladder.

Earlier this year the company that makes Dr. Pepper stated that they would "give a free soda to everyone in America" if the Guns N Roses record "Chinese Democracy" was ever released. I loved the original story because someone (other than me) thought, and hoped, that Axl would never get this album out to the masses. Well he did and Dr. Pepper is standing by it's word.

Starting on Sunday November 23rd at 12:01am Dr. Pepper will offer a coupon for one free soda on it's website. The offer will last for 24 hours.

While I'm not at all excited that someone is letting Guns N Roses release another record, I am quite impressed that the fine people who make Dr. Pepper, after having lost a bet they initiated, are standing up to their word.

Dr. Pepper stands by their word.

My First Gig

My first gig with my new band, Junk, went pretty well. I didn't play as well as I would have liked, but it is what it is right?

Oh and I made fun of Art Alexakis from Everclear on mic. He came over to say "hello" in the middle of our second set. Super nice guy.

Title Please

I ran across this video recently and childhood memories came flooding back to me. I used to watch this "movie" or "show" or whatever it is when I was a kid and then completely forgot about it. I would love to find a copy, but have no clue what the name of it is. Anybody know?

Back in the Saddle Again

This Saturday October 25th will be my first gig with a regular band in over four years. I'm playing with Junk, a jazz-funk fusion outfit from Hagerstown, Maryland.

If you're in the area we're playing at Duffy's in Hagerstown. Stop by and say "Hey!".

Scouts

My 10 year old son is in Cub Scouts and I am his den leader. I never thought I would do that as I don't see eye to eye on ALL of the Scouting ideals, but when no other parent will step up and you see your child enjoying it you do what you have to do.

That being said, during my daily surfing of the intertubes I came across this picture.



Yes it is two young scouts in black face. Me head almost exploded. I don't even want to know WHY they are in black face.While I'm not a fan of the Scouts stand on a few political issues, it's nice to know that we've at least moved past THIS.

Didn't We Just Cut You A Check?

I hate politicians....

Read why Nancy Pelosi and the rest of the douchebags in Washington are...well...douchebags

Where Are Your Riots Now?

I mean...he probably didn't do this either right?

Seriously?

Can it really be true that the US Congress thought that since the 700 billion dollar bailout wasn't going to work that the 810 billion dollar bailout would? It's getting to the point where I can no longer afford to be an American.

If you want to pay off your greedy, asshole bankers on wall street that's fine. I just don't want it to be with my money. Unfortunately I have no say in the matter. We the people my ass.

Welcome to the United Socialist States of America. Nothing you say, think or want matters.

A Virgins Plea

I don't usually put links to sites where people are ASKING for hits on the pages, but I think this one is a little different. It's a 25 year old Polish virgin who as a deal with his friend. If he can get 5 million hits in 30 days she'll have sex with him. If he doesn't he's her personal slave for a week. It's funny. It's silly. Some poor guy is trying to get laid. Let's help him out!

Who Didn't See This Coming

Phish is getting back together...again...really.

Here's the story

I'm actually a fan of Phish. I just think it's funny.

Larry

A few months ago I watched Jeffrey Ross' Comedy Central special. While I think he's funny, Larry stole the show. Jeffrey asked for someone to come up from the audience to play piano while he read poetry. This is what happened.

Kung Fu Robots

This movie was huge when I was a kid. I recently watched it again, and while it's no where near as great as I thought it was when I was nine, you can't really argue with Kung Fu Robots.

I Want To Live Here

Most Accurate Pie Chart Ever

Congratulations!

Why is it...

Why is it that when I walk up an escalator I get no where near as winded as I do when I walk up a flight of stairs. I understand that I'm moving up the incline faster on the escalator so I'm not exerting as much energy. I'm talking about walking up an escalator that's twice as long as a flight of stairs. I don't get it.

It's not important. I just started thinking about it as I almost fooled myself into thinking I was getting in better shape.
