Google searches that return nakedness that really shouldn't, Part one.

Entertainment, The Interweb

link number one, safe search on… wtf
Scared People

(while not at work I clicked this link. I think it might lead into the cavernous underbelly of the internet. It’s part of my favorite part of the internet, communities that exist outside the normal bustling public part of the internet. I think of it like a pyramid, sites like Amazon and Google on top based on a foundation of pornography but further down are sites like this that cater to specific sub-genres of internetians. Like sites that post Star Trek fan fiction about homosexual affairs between Kirk and Spock or in this case some weirdo posting strange pictures alongside his creepy poetry)

Later!

*UPDATE*
I checked this again and I think the unintentional nakedness is gone, but there are some naked bikers having sex on the first page of results. Happy Surfing!

Cardboard wet, good times were had by all.

Projects, Stuff and Things

Well the 4th annual gathering of creative nerds went off without a hitch. Of course I’m referring to the Cardboard Boat Race. I’ll link to the pictures as soon as Jesse posts them online. It seems to be becoming a bigger and bigger event in my family, but less popular with the actual comminity of Stafford. But we have fun doing it so that’s all that really matters.

Updates Later!

All Good 2007

Entertainment, music

I was thinking about something Laurel asked me.

“So did All Good change your life?”

Her timing could have been better as we were still at the concert when she asked this, but never mind that. Minds were blown, new outlooks were looked, and jam bands have jammed there way into my mind. I had a really good time out there. I think I would have a great time anywhere I go with Laurel, but this was a really cool experience. It was awesome to get out there with so many people who all wanted to have fun, with none of the immature posturing and anger that I remember from HFS.

Laurel and I get along better than pretty much anyone I’ve ever met. I remember when she said that her outlook on life was “Every thing always works out, for me” Which is, word for word, something I actually said to Faith a couple years ago. (I did not get a good response) I just looked at her with a blank stare because I couldn’t believe how perfect she was for me.

Without Laurel I would never have gone to a three day concert/campout in the West Virginia mountains and I would never have known how much fun you can have out there. Before I might have wondered if there was someone I was missing in my life. She makes me wonder what I’m missing everyday I’m not with her.

weekend update – sometime in July

Life, Randomness

I’ve been really busy the past week or so. I haven’t had time to write anything on here. Here’s what went on.

  1. Went to Vegas for Ben and Peter’s joint Bachelors party.
  2. Started working on the Cardboard Boat for this year.
  3. Working on two side Art projects for Will and Ellen.
  4. Gave up on Amar’s project because he’s too demanding/ can’t describe what he really wants
  5. Had a kick ass joint birthday party with Frenchie at the house!

Hopefully I’ll have time to elaborate on some of these.

Later!
