No, really. There isn’t. It is a nice day out. You should go out and play. Oh, and for you slovenly folk that absolutely refuse to get up I leave you with this video from dannychoo.com I warned you! Now go out there and do some living! /looks left /looks right Ok, if you’re still […]

You can have your MMA freaks punching and kicking and grappling each other all over the place (although I do like watching Melvin Manhoef fight – Manhoef vs. Cyborg, anyone?). I, however, sometimes prefer the good ol’ fashioned chop socky films by the Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest. I don’t know why. Maybe because I […]

I remember what it was like to be an annoying little brother. Granted, it was way, way, wayyyy back when we all rode around on those bicycles with the giant wheel in the front and the little wheel in the back and candy was only a penny a stick at the country store. The world […]

If I ever get around to rescheduling my paintball outing I know that there are at least two things that I’m going to want to bring with me: A mini-gun I hear that some of the more powerful and intricately designed mini-guns rely on multiple battery packs. I also think that a custom feed would […]

es, yes. I know there’s a thread for cheerleaders of all sorts in the main TJNR forums. Trust me, it isn’t normally my gig to say ‘Aye, carumba! She’s one hot tamale!’. HOWEVER… During the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament this past week I managed to catch the UCLA/Memphis game. It was a pretty good game […]

Foodies, according to Wikipedia, are “…amateurs who simply love food for consumption, study, preparation, and news.”. I have, in my many years on this planet, made many decisions which I have put me somewhere in the Foodie realm. I love shopping at stores like William Sonoma, Bed Bath & Beyond or anywhere that has utensils […]

Ok, I don’t want to think about her ever dating Leonardo DiCaprio. People sometimes rag on Gisele Bundchen and say that she’s somewhat manly. I, however have only two things to say after seeing these pictures: Gisele, really, those shorts are really impractical. There is no way that you’d be able to slip a wallet […]

A blast from the past!

Sometimes I miss the days when the world wasn’t so politically correct. I am, quite possibly, over romanticizing those days. Even during the 1970’s people thought that “All in the Family” was pretty controversial.

I’ll admit – I’ve listened to Girls Aloud a few times. It really isn’t my usual choice of music to listen to. Well, unless I’m feeling like I really need some female empowerment. HOWEVER, these recent pictures of Cheryl Tweedy remind of one thing: I LOVE GIRL GROUPS. Dammit. Getting older sucks. BAH. Damn them […]

I was working on a post about streaming porn for my iPhone but I got sidetracked. What happened? I went to Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s latest creation: the South Park Studios at http://www.southparkstudios.com. Every season, every episode available uncensored. Although the site is ‘in beta’, you can stream each and every episode from the […]

I am an early adopter. I got my iPhone the first week that it came out and I’ve been very, very happy with it. Yes, I shelled out $599 for it and of course I used the $100 rebate to buy a Nano when the offer came up. Since I travel a good distance to […]

There are a lot of things you can say about the types of characters that Ray Park plays. From Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I to Toad in X-Men. He’s a flippin’ and a kickin’ and kicking major ass. However, one that sort gets me a little excited is his upcoming portrayal of Snake […]

I was listening to NPR the other day and there were these stories about college age kids and 20-somethings helping the campaigns of the Republicans and Democrats. It was, to say the least, inspiring. You had kids asking their professors permission so they could hoof it door to door soliciting for Clinton or Obama or […]

Ok, so I had to take the Driver Improvement Final Exam. I thought I’d have to go to this DMV facility and reschedule my entire day around it. Luckily, I didn’t! There was a ‘testing facility’ at the Homewood Suites. Notice the quotes? The ‘testing facility’? At the Homewood Suites. Ok, this didn’t really register […]

This is a heads up: this post was made in a different form at one of the forums that I frequent. Just like me in my giant diaper, Wednesday rolled around and bounded into the room. Normally, I’ll toss some question about anime out there. However, today let’s shake the tree and see what falls […]

[youtube width=”320″ height=”264″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKBnuZoA-9o[/youtube] Iron Man. You know, I never used to read this comic but I’ll be darned if I don’t go see this in a theater. Angela and I normally wait for things to come out on DVD (or torrent…shhhhhhhh!) but, dang. I want to watch a movie in the theater that makes me […]

Look at this bottle. Nice, huh? A nice, amber color makes it look like all sorts of Earthy and what not. This is a bottle of American Crew’s Peppermint Shampoo. It is advertised as having cleansing powers to remove hair goop residue on your head. I had a bottle of this stuff under my sink. […]

Well, here she is, folks. This is a picture of Jinx and Farley (click on the thumbnail to get the full-sized original). I’m sitting here waiting for my FIOS install writing this. I’m not too sure when they’ll get here. They said between 8am and 10am and so far nothing. I thought I’d take this […]

Note: The following was something that I posted to another site and I’m reposting here. Why? Two reasons: I’m letting you know about my life and I’m lazy. I work out at least twice a week with my trainer, Amy. What I’ve noticed is that after finishing our session of controlled torture I feel fine. […]

Note: The following was something that I posted to another site and I’m reposting here. Why? Two reasons: I’m letting you know about my life and I’m lazy. Ah, yes…January 1st has rolled around and you…most likely rolled around as well. I know I did. Us slightly more rotund people tend to do that. But […]

Cars. Roads. Driving. Puzzy. Mix them all together and what do you get? Zombie Driver! For the love of God, for the most part I hate driving for longer than 15 minutes. It drives me insane. Not only does my tail bone get uncomfortable and I get fidgety, I feel like I’m being lulled into […]

“The Scenic View Was A Pisser” Last Friday proved to be a long one at work. This time of year tends to do that: you go to work while it is dark and when you leave there’s no sunlight. Everything you do seems to crawl at a snail’s pace and you’re driving yourself insane just […]

Let me be perfectly clear here – this DID NOT happen at work. I know some of my coworkers read this and some of the mechanics sound similar, but this did not happen there! Part I – Where’s Moses When You Need Him? With that out of the way, I would also like to point […]

Earlier, I had written that I had a ‘fan club’ of sorts. You know, people in a bus and in a restaurant/cafe who watch me as I go to work. It is a little weird when you think about it but also a little bit of a boost to my itty-bitty ego. Naturally, it sort […]

This is weird.  And when I say weird, I mean this one is a little way out of left field, even for me. Almost every weekday I get to Rosslyn, park my car and walk to the Metro station to take downtown.  This normally happens around the same time every day.  We all know that […]

I got back into town Sunday evening. Wow. California. Nice place but I wouldn’t want to live there. One of the first things that Harrison told me when I got there was ‘All the men here are complete pussies’. Then he recounted how they behaved like spineless freaks when confronted by women. You know that […]

Yeah, well…I’m off to California. I’ll let you know how it goes. While I’m there tending to some business, I think I’ll try following the Giant Robot article where they searched out the combination Chinese food/doughnut shops. BTW – I was sitting here listening to audio files on my hard drive and I ran across […]
