i understand the allure of the "The Squeaky Wheel Gets the Grease" mindset. but let me tell you this: it doesn't work with job-hunting. if you constantly pester a potential employer, you're not causing them to notice you and the benefits you can bring to the organization at the expense of them paying attention to other candidates -- you're simply being a pest. and if...

On "gang bangers" and "gang banging"

Seems like anywhere I go these days I hear about "gang bangers" who are out "gang banging." It is on the TV, the radio, in the newspaper and even on Craigslist.

Now, maybe I'm stupid or a pervert, but when I think of a "gang bang" I think of 3 or...

i've found that the best part of Podcasting isn't creating the Podcast materials -- it's all the time you get to spend jibba-jabba-ing with other Podcast producers! everyone works in a slightly different way, and everyone has a slightly different take on the whole production process -- that means that if you talk to a bunch of people, you'll wind up with a bunch of...

there's something really special about getting party favors in the mail. today i received a shipment of silly party hats that i'm going to bring to my buddy's bachelor shin-dig at the end of the month. the viking helmet is particularly amusing. you can find so much rediculous stuff on the Internet - it's really amazing. i strongly suggest that folks think up something silly...

just when you thnk everything's going your way, you get a BBQ Chicken Salad from Trader Joe's and a Chicken Cheddar Quesadilla from Del Taco and you wind up spending your evening at the urgent care facility with a case of food poisoning more painful than anything you can remember. Friday was pretty much spent in a barbituate-induced haze and i honestly can't remember what...

my problem with green day isn't their songwriting - i thought they wrote good songs even back in the pre-dookie days when they were just a berkeley garage band - but it's the lead singer's nasaly-tounge-off-the-soft-pallet-gen-Y-slacker-accent voice that drives me up the friggin wall. i'm really looking forward to the day when that particular tone of male voice is no longer everpresently popular. but when...

photos. i have a lot of photos. most of them are not very good, as photography goes. i'm really not a good photographer. i have a lot of random pictures of streets, advertising signs, the backs of peoples' heads, etc. but i like looking at them.

my step-mom found a bunch of photos of mine in my dad's garage the other day. i picked them...

so today i was reading that one internet site that's named for a guy and his list. in the rants & raves section there was a post about immigration (big surprise). anyway, for those who do't read that site very often, let me just tell you that to describe the r&r section as "chock full of racists" would be a vast understatement.

anyway, this post...

Clerks 2 is coming this summer. When it's closer to release time, Kevin Smith will go out on the publicity trail. Now, for those who don't know this, it's been said that almost everything in my life can be distilled down, in one way or another, to Kevin Smith, Howard Stern, The Matrix and Star Trek. So, I'm thinking that Kevin will probably hit the...
