in case you havent noticed yet.

come on man!!!

i'm trying to get this guitar that i won on ebay from some dude who's taking forever to get back to me in email transactions.

me 8:00 am yesterday morning:
"ok, i won this auction. how much is shipping so i can pay you?"
him 8:00 pm last night:
"let me know your shipping adress so i can calculate the cost and give you a grand total"
me 8:00 am today:
"please ship it to..."



...

now i know how people trying to adopt a child feel like.

all signs point to yes

maybe i'm being a bit paranoid, but i'm certain i'm the next to go when "they" decide to lay off more people around here (and i'm sure they will) .

round 4 last week was a little too close for comfort.

any fool can think of words that rhyme


hey, if anyone is interested in starting a Morrissey cover band, please let me know!

that's what i thought


hey all.

i finally fixed my archives (so you can get a complete picture of my uneventful life if you'd like).

top five things this week:

1. not getting laid off
2. niki not getting laid off
3. m.c. mabon (welsh dude)
4. the frenchmen
5. running 6 miles in under an hour

Ringy Dingy.




So I was thinking that my guitar is boring. And if anyone who wanted to be so inclined to give me one for whatever reason, that they might have the fine taste to pick out something unique. Not like a macaroni necklace, though one would not be refused, but something like that pictured above. Or below.







Or below that. (in a different color, of course)





I mean, it could be very possible that I'm dying of a disease, who's only cure is a fancy guitar from Guitar Center in a size 6 1/2.

MOVIE REIVEWS BY LEON

8 mile
staring Marshal Mathers as MC DJ Bunny Rabbit
movie rating **** out of 4 stars

Warning! Spoilers ahead!
One word can sum up Marshal Mathers's (eminem) debut movie performance in this summer's blockbuster "8 Mile": amazing. Mathers plays the controversial role of MC DJ Bunny Rabbit, a poor white homosexual boy trying to make in the black heterosexual man's world of Rap Music. Mathers character pulls on the heartstring of today’s youth as he battles many of the skeletons in his closet: violence, abuse, racism, homophobia as these subjects hit close to home for many of today’s youth.

The story of "8 mile" takes place in a British Columbian suburb where track and field runners reign supreme. MC DJ Bunny Rabbit’s girlfriend has left him for Todd, the popular track and field runner at their high school (played by Rupert Grint) and the only way Rabbit feels he can win her back is by coming in first place in the annual 8-mile triathlon tournament. Rabbit wallows in the misery of losing her until he finds love in the arms of a French exchange student across the street. Mathers's character sets off to avenge the deaths of his parents at the hands of kung-fu legend Master Pain. Along the way, he encounters some strange characters, one of which is a cow trained in the martial arts.

A must see for all..

worst analogies ever written in a high school essay

He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
