a quick little hello to clockwork_pink. super foxy, but i think she might be a little crazy. she thinks that she can take me at Dr. Mario! not possible. i'm the lord billiard or Dr. Mario. Champion of the World!! if i ever find myself in toronto or she's in cleveland for whatever reason, expect a battle of epic proportions. i'm way to confident in my skills.
i watched with a lot of interest last nights speech by Barack Obama. pretty amazing stuff. first time in forever that i'm kind of excited by something political and moved/impressed with a politicians words. i think nothing but good can come from electing him. i really hope it works out.
so for the past few days The Blue Angels and other similar jets have been flying directly above me house practicing for this weekends air show. it's been really overcast, especially yesterday, and the sound of those things flying around has been both amazing and terrifying. it honestly sounds like the jets are ripping the sky right open. it's pretty impressive.
i missed the big SG Havana night last night. i really wanted to go but lack of cash and an already to crowded weekend prevented me from going. i really wanted to be there. i read in Meows blog that sawa was going to be there. damn, kill me now. for my sanity's sake i hope she didn't make it. i'd trade a finger for a chance to meet that girl.
fantasy football draft went pretty well. i am happy with my team and honestly think i can stir things up a little this year. i've got one last draft to do sunday night for a different league. bad timing with that one, i'll miss both airings of i love money. damn that show has been great.
A PICTURE-TASTIC COLLECTION OF STUFF I CURRENTLY WANT
the greatest movie ever turns 10
and while on that topic
the coolest bust i've seen in some time
the sexiest bust i've seen in some time
something for the boredom and the headaches
something cool to cruise around on and protect me
and lastly something to help me get all this shit
honestly i'd take just the last one and be happy.
have a good weekend.
caught Pineapple Express the other day. very funny. but i think i enjoyed Superbad more.
i think i may have just found my dream job. well maybe not my dream job, but something i'd really be into. i've done my part, now i just have to wait for them to do theirs. think good thoughts for me.
so last week me and megan were faced with a bit of a dilemma. those free tickets we've been getting from the landladies for concerts at blossom made their way here again. free tickets to see Poison. you can't really get much more ridiculous than that. and for free and free parking why not. she gives us the tickets and the passes, and then not an hour later my buddy calls me and lets me know he got free tickets to see Bill Maher the same night. 5 rows back at that. so free Poison or free Bill Maher? the final idea was to try to hit both. Maher started at 8 and i figure Poison would go on around 9:30, and the venues were about 20 minutes away from each other. try to get a good hour and a half of Maher and then bounce over to blossom to catch the second half of the surly ridiculous Poison show. the final result was having way too much fun at the Bill Maher show and sticking around for the 2 + hours he did. missed Poison all together. no biggie, we easily got the best entertainment offered that evening. god damn funny.
the show was in Akron, at the EJ Thomas Hall. we are going back next tuesday to see this crazy guy. Craig Karges is his name and he's magic. his whole thing is that he's a mentalist and has this schpeel about how we as humans only use 10% of our brain and that if you can learn to use the other 90% you are capable of amazing things, mind power. MIND BULLETS!!! that's telekinesis Kyle. anyway, i've seen him twice before and it's blown my mind every time. both times i've participated in one of the tricks and been freaked out. he had me take a book he had, open it to any page i wanted and just pick a word. for whatever reason i focused on the word flatware. the entire time i was looking he stood in front of me with his back to me. he told me to just picture the word in my mind and concentrate on it. he stood there for like 45 seconds, talking the whole time: "ok, it's a longer word. kind of a strange work, it's like two words put together. it's FLATWARE!! i don't know how he did it, and the whole show is like that. the first time i saw him this group of black girls started calling him the devil and calling jesus and ran out of the hall. good times.
so anyway, if you are in the Akron area and want a interesting evening head that way. it's free and starts at 9:09 that evening. there's some interesting clips on youtube. check it out.
some quick thoughts:
i have to get a giant gold medallion of my face. extremely necessary.
poor Christina Applegate.
first girl on tv that i'd jerk it to. i was in love.
i'm glad that she is ok. spooky stuff.
well that will do it for know i suppose.
right on.
just finished Lego Indiana Jones. pretty fun game, i can't wait for the Batman game to come out.
Radiohead
so the landladies came through again and got me and megan 2 tickets for the Radiohead show tomorrow night. needless to say, i'm pretty pumped. i've never seen them before and have only heard amazing things about their live shows. we got the same mind blowing tickets that we always get from them. it's really ridiculous that we've found ourselves in this situation. always getting these incredible seats and passes for free.
see that grey area in front of sections 23, 24, and 25. that's where the sweet VIP box seats are, and that's the stuff we get for free. it's unreal. our seats are in the front row of the box seats in front of section 24. sweet huh? and we always get backstage parking passes and vip wristbands. all for just being great tenants i suppose.
in less fun news, i'm really getting tired of this unemployed business. i'm so bored. and it's starting to get to the point were i need to be careful with my money. and that's lame. and while on the topic of money, like a dipshit i left my check card in the ATM yesterday. i had to put a temporary hold on it and hope that the machine sucked it back up inside after i left. i'll find out tomorrow morning.
i'm thinking about making a quick trip home for a few days. my sisters birthday is on the 9th and she and the nephew have been hanging out at the parents for a few weeks. she'll still be there for her birthday, and at the same time the absurd WV State Fair will be in town. that mess used to be a yearly tradition and quite a seen to take in. i haven't gone in about 6 or so years and i think i could definitely enjoy some disgusting fair food.
i'm listening to a replay of this weeks Stern show and Pamela Anderson is on it. why is she still around? i don't think i've ever been more annoyed by someone in my life. isn't her time over?!
i'm gonna go play outside for awhile. it's so nice out.
i just heard Robin and Jim broke up.
i finally got the all Tool issue of revolver. good read, if you're a fan of the band i would definitely check it out. after reading it i've become slightly obsessed with this Alex Grey guy. he's an interesting individual, and his artwork is all kinds of good. you'd recognize it from the past few albums.
really cool stuff. i guess he's got a big gallery in New York somewhere that's closing soon. and there is a new place called the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors that is going to be opening soon after that looks amazing. i guess there's going to be huge part devoted to Tool and the artwork they used. i'm thinking about sending a 10 dollar donation. if i do i can get my name on some Tool shrine that is going to be there. kinda silly, but for ten bucks i'll get my name on that.
what else is new? got stoned today and watched the second Harold and Kumar. lots of vagina in that movie.
and one super hairy cock. i've moved on from my Lego Star Wars addiction and taken up Lego Indiana Jones. such good games. and while on the topic of Star Wars, i don't' know what to make of this new movie that's about to come out. i've got mixed feeling about it. i imagine i'll make it eventually, i've always wondered about the clone wars and what that was all about.
oh! more star wars. check this shit out. i would punch my momma for this.
here's an idea how big that fucker is.
they have one at a mall close to here and i spent about a half hour the other day drooling all over it. you should see the ass on that thing.
my girlfriend can't think of anything more pathetic than my amazement with that statue. $2500.00 and it's mine.
i made it to The Dark Knight finally. i can't come up with the words to do that movie justice. it was pretty amazing. i can't help but feel that i did buy into the hype just a little bit, because i don't think that it was as good as i made myself think it would be. but it was really god damn amazing. i DO think that Heath Ledger deserves every word that is being said about his performance. "wanna see a magic trick?"
how about this?! i was just as impressed and excited about the trailer for The Watchmen. holy shit! that sums up my entire feelings about that movie. can someone give me some info on what that story is all about. i have no idea what it's about. i'm going to try to find a copy of the trade paperback next time i'm out. but yeah, if anyone reading this knows what that story's all about, share some of that with me.
few more things...
i'm a dork, but i'm pumped that fantasy football season is right around the corner!
still delightfully offended by how enjoyable I Love Money is.
possibly the current hottest SG around?
whoa!
might be seeing Radiohead on the 4th. those awesome tickets i get from time to time could be mine any day now.
for some strange reason, over the past week my interest in recycling has increased 10 million times over. not a bad thing to be in i suppose. but strange how i all the sudden made it my lifes work. who knows?
i think i'm going to go jump into some Lego Indiana Jones.
have a good evening.
almost a month since my last update. that month went by in a blink of an eye. the hustle bustle of summer in the city i suppose.
what's new? the trip to my sisters to hang with the nephew was fantastic. he's a incredible little guy and i had so much fun being with him. he farts so much, and with such great force. i had no idea babies farted so much. i got to enjoy all the usual new baby activities-diapers, puke, burping, getting peed on. much to my surprise i handled it all with ease. i enjoy being an uncle.
the rest of time in Huntington was a good time. i'd spend all day with the kid, and then each night around 9 when he was zonked out i'd just pack a bowl and explore around. a lot has changed since i lived there. a bunch of places i'd go are gone now. there's newer things in their place or nothing at all. i had a few pleasant surprises, but for the most part it was still just dirty, nasty huntington. i had food from fazoli's! i was a junkie for that place in college and haven't eaten there in almost a decade. apparently no more unlimited bread sticks?
so the other day i posted a video in the AYBABTU group of a dipshit army parachuter guy misjudge his landing and proceed to smash into a practicing army marching band. i found it rather funny. so it's not posted for 15 minutes and whoever it is that runs that group locks it and gives me this "this belongs in Rigor Mortis group." first of all, i didn't even know that group existed and after learning of it am left with only to say what the sweet shit is going on there?? and secondly, nobody died on the clip. i saw another report of it and the worst was some fractures and a broken rib i think. bad injuries, no doubt, but no death or graphic shit. i the long run, really no big deal. i misposted something and the world still turns. but really, come on.
and while on that topic, how great is this?
here's some stuff.
me and megan = 2 years on the 23rd.
i need to figure out when i'm seeing The Dark Knight. needs to happen soon.
i heard that the hummer is being discontinued. at least one step in the right direction had been taken.
had a really good interview friday, looks good and i want it. think good things.
squeak got new boobs.
oh my....
new My Morning Jacket album is amazing times 100.
RockBand 2 or Guitar Hero: World Tour? decisions, decisions. who says you can't have both.
www.twitter.com/walkman808 that's me, i have no idea if people use that site. if so, that's me.
thinking about updating my profile here. been the same for quite a while.
Howard Stern all last week was some of the best Stern i've heard in years.
I Love Money has been everything i hoped it would be.
sales pitch:
"hello friends! do you like pictures, sexy ladies, or just plain helping someone out? if your answer is yes to any of this, then do yourself a favor and see tatian."
yeah, check it out if you've got a second. and comment some of those sets.
i did some number crunching and forecasting and all kinds of other fun stuff last night. and i'm thrilled to realize that in April of 2010 i will be 100% debt free. in fact, the debt consolidation bill i pay each month is always due on the 20th. so needless to say on 4:20, 2010 there will a rather large party and the invites are already out. there will be an open bar, snow cone machine and ferris wheel at a minimum. every-one's invited. mark your calendar. you can tell i'm happy with this news. i'm thrilled, especially since i've spent the last 6 or so years running in fear and hiding from my giant debt monster.
hope everything is kickass with everybody.
for all my fellow RockBand addicts, and Guitar Hero to some extent i suppose, i would like to play for you one of my favorite songs that i would love to have on RockBand. i've got a list of potential songs that i would love for them to put on the game, Ram Jam here being near the top of the list. and for those of you not interested in the game, here's something to listen to while reading. enjoy.
i would play that again and again and again.
so my unemployment, aka summer vacation, is moving right along. megan and i were talking today how this is like summer break again for me. stay up way too late every night and sleep in way too late each morning. i only shave before job interviews, maybe once every 5 days or so. it's been really nice. i finished college in 2000 and took a full time job immediately. a year and a half into that job i changed jobs and had 1 day off in the middle of the 2 jobs. since college i don't think i ever took more than 6 days off in a row for vacation and personal days and that stuff. and all my life i've called in sick once. so saying all that i feel no shame enjoying all this extremely lazy time i'm having.
the nephew is doing awesome.
i've got a few other pictures, but that one is my favorite. the lighting kind of sucks, but oh well. so that's willy. and my sister. i'm so pumped to go see that kid. i'm heading down to see them on tuesday and i can't wait. my sister sent me that picture and i swear when i saw his little hand grabbing her finger i started to cry. i can only imagine what it will be like when i get to hang out with him. he made it home safely, and has been there for about 5 days now. i talk to my sister daily and she's great. i'm really excited about all this.
so i'll be gone from tuesday till friday. the summer vacation continues on. i'm kind of glad my parents won't be in town while i'm there. it will be good to hang with just steph and willy. i'll be back in huntington where we went to college. i haven't spent any considerable time there in about 5 years, so i'm kind of looking forward to dicking around there for a few days.
last week we went to the Iron Maiden concert. unbelievably fantastic. for a bunch of 50 year olds they sounded and played great. Bruce Dickinson sounds like he did 25 years ago and made chills go down my spine with some of the notes he hit. all kinds of great Eddie images and stage props. at one point a giant sphinx head open up and an enormous Eddie mummy came out and hovered above the band shooting sparks out of its eyes. fantastic.
i just dropped out of a few groups that i was in here on the site. there are a lot of petty, arrogant dicks on this site. i was in the "members since 2005 group." there are some really cool people in that group, and some really funny ones as well. but on the flip side there are also some real douchebags. huge slimy dripping douchebags. nothing was ever done or said to me personally, i just got really tired of the snarky assholes. there's some in there that go waaaaay out of their way to find something about other members to tear into. there's one chick in there in particular that just loses at life. she'll tell you she's queen of everything, but she just really sucks. the main reason i left the group. just tired of looking at her. the other groups i dropped out of i just didn't do anything with. no sense taking up the space.
i've really been enjoying this site again lately. met some cool people over the last few weeks and added some new faces to my friends list. all very cool people. especially tatian.
fucking sexy!!
she's got like a hundred sets sitting there waiting to go live. take a second to check them out and show them some love. it'll be worth your time.
hope everyone is great.
i am currently:
-still unemployed
-still loving it

-not enjoying my sun burn
-selling tons of stuff on craigslist
-going to see Iron Maiden tomorrow night (vip tickets and parking)

-thinking about having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
-not able to pass a drug test anymore
my sister had her baby yesterday! William Charles is here to reek havoc. he was 4 weeks early but everything looks to be fine. there was some concern about my sisters fluid levels and some worry about there not being enough for him to really do his thing in there. after 3 days in the hospital and countless ultrasounds and checkups they decided to go ahead and perform the c-section since everything looked really good. my sister is fine and so happy. my parents can finally relax and start enjoying grandparenthood. i look forward to seeing him very soon.
the quick trip home was a lot of fun. me and megan left thursday night and drove to columbus to spend the evening wit a friend down there. friday morning we got up and drove to huntington wv to visit my sister for the afternoon. at the time she was very pregnant and in the hospital receiving fluids. we stayed there till around 7 and then drove to my parents. didn't really do anything that night, it was too late and we were tired. saturday was filled with lots of sleeping in and laziness. we had a wedding to go to that evening, which was a fantastic time. got to see a bunch of people that i haven't' seen in some time and ate some amazing food. got some dancing in and watched megan get smashed. she was really funny, and i was so happy to be there with her. really put me in a wedding state of mind.
while i was home i was lucky enough to be able to spend some time in the water. there are some really beautiful spots on the river back home that i hold close to my heart. i was afraid the water might still be a bit too cold, which it was, but i braved it and got in. it was such a nice day and super relaxing. there were a lot of people there and i bumped into about 10 friends from various points in my life. that's one of the great things about going home, never knowing who i might run into but always seeing someone. me and meg both got a pretty nice sun burn while there, but it was well worth it.
as mentioned above, i'm in the middle of a pretty heavy lego star wars addiction. so i think i'm going to make that sandwich and go sit in front of the tv for a bit.
till next time.
probably the best thing i've seen in quite some time.
i guess the buzz around the movie is going pretty strong again. i would shit a brick if that movie ever comes out.
hey there everybody. been a little while since i've been around on the site. these things happen. i've been captain lazy for the past month or so. i guess the biggest reason/big news for this is that i got fired. or "let go" as it was explained to me. but yeah, i'm currently contributing to the nations unemployed population. as i've been bitching about for the better part of the past 2 years, i really hated my job and have been looking for something new for a little while now. my disinterest in the job and my desire to leave finally caught up with me and a couple tuesdays ago it bit me in the ass. and to be completly honest about the whole situation, i could not be happier. it was such a relief knowing all the bullshit that i was not going to have to deal with anymore. it was kind of a bummer getting fired, i don't think anyone ever wants that to happen. and i would have much rather left on my own terms and had something else waiting in the wings. but i can deal with that much easier than dealing with that fucking job any longer. it turned out to be a pretty good time for it to happen. i've got a good bit of money set aside, megan is making some good money since her promotion, and since i was let go i can collect unemployment for a bit.
needless to say i've been catching up on some sleep. and it's been nice. hard to believe, but it's close to 6 months since i've smoked any weed, so i've got that going for me, don't have to worry about failing any tests if they come up. i've had a few interviews already and have been more than busy online job hunting. i'm really glad it happened and know in the long run that it's going to be something looked back on as a good thing.
so what else is going on? here's something i've been thinking about lately. i keep seeing these shows on discover and a&e and similar channels where this dipshit guy gets dropped off in the middle of absolute nowhere and proves how tough/stupid he is by surviving the elements and eating snakes and trees. survivor man and man vs. wild, stuff like that. granted, i would never be able to pull this off and these guys survival skills are amazing. the thought i keep having is that no matter how extreme the condition is, i am way more impressed by the camera man. because this guy is doing the exact same thing as the tough survivor man and recording it all at the same time. how come we never hear about the camera man. a great unjust to tough guy camera men worldwide.
i say this with a smidge of sarcasm, but does anyone else think the world is about to explode? with all the earthquakes and fires and cyclones and crazy shit over the past month or so i kind of think we're about a 2 disasters away from the end. california falling into the ocean or something.
in the basketball world, i really thought that the Cavs had a chance of beating the Celtics. and i'm positive they would have if Lebron hadn't fallen into that slump for the first 4 games. at least now my beloved Pistons have a chance to knock the Celtics off. and i'm pretty sure they will. as far as the west goes, those stupid fucking Spurs better lose. i think i hate that team more every year. at this very moment, the Lakers are beating them up pretty good, so i'm pretty sure they'll take that series. i think we're going to see a rematch of the finals a few years back, Lakers vs. Pistons. i'd enjoy that.
about a week or so ago one of the sexiest things i've ever scene on this site occurred. just in case you missed it:
it took awhile, but that set finally topped my previous "hottest mutli-set" of all time. there's just no denying it. and it makes my head explode thinking about the pictures that were probably too racy for the site. i'm sure there were a few. and if there weren't, the ones in my head will do just fine.
gonna bring this thing to an end. got to get ready for another tough day tomorrow. i've got some sleeping in to do and a RockBand filled day to prepare for.
your unemployed buddy,
some rambles on music
top 40 albums
billboard top ten
itunes top ten tracks
some quick rambles about me
i'm done with this. be good.
happy friday. i can't explain how happy i am that march is almost over. simply for the fact that april is almost here and that almost always means the end of winter. i've had enough for this year thank you. please bring on the nice weather.
sure has been a lot of dumb happening around this website lately. so much of it seems to stem from the hopefuls group. i get a kick out of it but it seems like it's starting to chase some people away. that sucks. i've always enjoyed this site and the community built around it. for the past 3 years or so it's been my little getaway from the every day stuff. and if anyone can clear up what the lawsuit talk is all about, i'd appreciate it. i have no idea who it was but some girl on the boards yesterday was all boo hoo fuck you angry at SG and said something about i hope you lose the lawsuit. so what's with that????
the job hunt is still going strong. i've had quite a few interviews and calls from potentials, but just nothing yet that looks any good. i had two interviews with this company that claimed they were a marketing firm, but turned out to be a shit sales job that involved driving all around everywhere and basically being a phony douche to every one that you meet. i spent the entire day yesterday with one of their account managers out in the field, a.k.a. some annoying girl driving around elyria ohio trying to sell office supplies. i gave up my day off for this. at the end of the day when she tried to get me to come back in the office for a follow up interview about the day and my experience and to fill out some doofy questionnaire about what she told me and what i retained:
her: "ok, let's go back in and you can talk with Mark and fill out the questionnaire and we can proceed with bringing you on board."
me: "well, my car is parked over there and i'm going to go ahead and head that way. i appreciate the time you spent with me today but there's no way i'd ever consider doing this."
that's pretty much exactly how it went. the one good thing about job hunting while currently employed is that you can be pretty choosy, which is nice. total waste of a day off.
got some bad news yesterday. my best friend here in cleveland just split up with his girlfriend. from the sounds of things it was a pretty mutual thing and not an ugly break up or anything, which is good. the thing is that i really liked his girlfriend, and so did my girlfriend. the 4 of us always had a great time hanging out really had a lot of good times. i'm saddened that this might not happen anymore. it didn't seem like they were having any problems and it kind of came out of the blue. i'll miss hanging out with them.
not smoking weed update: hard to believe but i've smoked once in the past 70 days. and it's currently been well over a month since last smoking. i've determined this. anyone "addicted" to weed is so unbelievably full of shit. i'm talking from experience here, very, very, very frequent usage for at least the last decade. and this time stopping has been no big deal at all. megan smokes every night almost and i sit right there next to her and don't even think about it. kind of weird. i do kind of miss it, but there's no overwhelming urge to pick it back up. right now the desire for a new job is way stronger.
STUFF
she had some of the best journals. now that i think about it she was probably the reason i joined the site.
my dumshit boss is attempting to revive the monday night poker game that we used to always have. this was once a monumental evening every monday night and truly a thing of glory. the highlight of my week. this new idea is going to be a complete disaster. i kind of can't wait to see how bad it turns out.
i've said it a million times before, and probably a million more to come, but good god do i love The Secret Machines. 2 of the best albums i've ever heard. and some cook videos as well.
hope all is well with everyone. go get some sleep.
