It’s actually more like a proof of concept thing right now. I mean it works and all… but only like half the time. The other times I have to take out the battery to get the phone to reboot. I’ve been searching online and it looks like I have to get this memory hack so that it’ll stop crashing. But I’m not going to pay 20 bucks for that. For real, who do they think they’re dealing with?

So I’ll have to use the Google-FU to find it somewhere. But not while I’m at work. I don’t think it would look good if I was going on “those parts” of the internet while I was at work. Maybe I’ll actually get around to fixing my computer sometime tonight, so that I can solve this enigma.

But I’ll probably go out to Rock Bottom for a little while and then back to my house to watch LOST. Ahh the bachelor’s life.

A while back I made a list of movies that I either need to see again, or possibly buy on DVD. The list was ranked by the “desirability” of the movie versus the price of buying. If it was a movie that I thought I would watch more than once I would spend up to say… $15 on it. But if it was just something that I would watch once and just let sit on the shelf and be ridiculed by visitors looking over my DVD collection. *Ahem* Iron Eagle. Then I had this idea that I would subscribe to netflix and copy the less desirables with my DVD burner. Total cost of owning the movie, about $5-ish.But then on the horizon… what was that.. another great idea sailing in to the brain port. Arrr I don’t have to be a pirate… Arrr. It was as simple as a little link on Amazon.com. USED! I’ve always been a fan of cheap DVDs. Especially the cheap DVD bin at Wal-Mart. Unfortunately that selection is limited to hundreds of copies of Stroker Ace and Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Almost every movie on Amazon has used listing and most of them are at a 80% discount. So far I’ve ordered 5 movies I think, at a cost of about $5 per movie… and that includes shipping. While I have ordered some sub-par movies… *cough* BMX Bandits. Most were at least B movies. I eagerly await the arrival of “The Mothman Prophecies” for a low low price of $4.95.

I don’t really blog that much any more. It’s not that I can’t think of anything to write, it’s just that I’m lazy. I think of all these witty and interesting things to write about when I’m driving home. But then I get home… welcome to Nubbinsville. Bubkis. And then I think of something to draw while I’m sitting there, but when I open the sketchbook. And Whammo! Nothin. I’m stuck in this never ending cycle of forgotten ideas.

I’m Poor! I’m putting a hiatus on all eating out and drinking (mostly) until next month at least. I don’t know where all my money has gone, but it’s gone somewhere. And i don’t think it’s coming back. This month I got hit with a couple of bills that snuck up on me. Cartax, insurance, and Website Renewal. Not to mention that I waste money on stupid little things all the time. Not to mention the vastly over-budget beerpong table project. $40 for buttons now seems a little extravagant.

I’ll still be going out to rock bottom on Wednesdays, cause $1 pints still makes a cheap mid week night out. On the weekends I’ll have to switch to Bowmans Vodka instead of beer.

If anybody has an easy way to for me to make some more money I would be interested. Taking a second job is sort of not what I want to be doing. But Websites and painting Murals would be highly desired.

You could have said that I was anticipating this show, but that would be an understatement. I have become accustomed to being let down by new shows on TV. Prison Break is exciting, but not great. Reunion has promise, but seems to fall flat. My Name is Earl was the next one that I was excited about. Let me tell you it does not disappoint.

The show stars Jason Lee, former professional skateboarder and Kevin Smith movie alumni. I love Jason Lee. There.. I said it. I live my life through the words of Brody Bruce. “The cookie stand is a autonomous eatery for mid mall snacking… That kid is BACK on the escalator!” from the last testament of Mallrats.

Earl is not perfect, hell, he’s not even good. In the first 5 minutes of the show he tells you that, and shows you by robbing some unsuspecting Volvo-driving family. He gets drunk in Vegas and marries a woman (played by Jamie Pressley) who is 6 months pregnant. Which leads to his first memorable quote.

“Some people might think that getting so drunk that you marry a gal who’s 6 months pregnant might be a reason to stop drinking, more like a reason to keep drinking if you ask me.”

Now to the point of the show. Earl wins $100,000 on a scratcher ticket outside a convenience store and during a moment of celebration dances out in the street… where he is promptly creamed by an old woman driving a Buick. When Earl wakes up in the hospital the ticket is gone. Watching TV at night, Earl discovers the teachings of Carson Daly, Karma. He then decides to right all the wrongs in his life so that, “Life won’t kill him”.

I would like to write some glowing eloquent review, But I don’t think I could do this show justice. The writing is awesome, the characters are awesome, the camera work is awesome. Ethan Suplee as Earl’s lazy brother kills me with every line. This show flat out rocks. Of course this does mean that it will be instantly cancelled. Which is what network TV does with good things, like puppies and babies.

I’ll leave you with the wisdom of the Earl.

Any one of us could just drop dead at any time. I just heard a message on a podcast about someone who had a headache, then next thing you know they’re in intensive care. I really hope that dosen’t happen to me, but hey, you never can tell. Not that I’ve been obsessed with death or anything, but I’ve always wanted to write down a note. A message from beyond if you will. That someone could find… maybe I’ve seen to many TV movies.

Maybe I’m always thinking about that because I have so many half finished projects out there, and if I die, who will finish them? Listen to me. I sound like I’m curing cancer here, not building a beerpong table in the basement or a DVD collection of bad 80’s movies.

Here’s a list of things I need/want to get done. Not before I die, cause some all of this stuff won’t matter if I’m dead.

I GET DISTRACTED EASILY

• Burn DVD’s of 80’s movies from Netflix/Bittorrent
• Finish Beerpong table
• Finish Drawing of Jenn and Jayson
• Draw a tattoo/Family Crest
• Paint that painting.. you know that one.
• Fix my computer
• Fix my truck exhaust/get it inspected/ got to DMV
• Blog more often
• Do something with my senior project
• Make Big Numbers to put on that rock out front
• Get a job painting Comic Book Murals
• Actually Start designing HERband website
• Finish my Portfolio website
• Back up my data on DVDs

So basically what I’m saying here is that I have a lot of ideas and not a lot of motivation. Or really I have motivation for about a week, if it goes any longer than that I get distracted… with a brand new cool idea… yah! So if I die, look through my computer for… wait a minute. That might be a bad idea…
