That salad didn’t stand a chance and other nuggets of life…

Had the ol’ Giant salad bar today. So cheap, so good. But I crushed it in record time, I had barely sat down when I looked down at a pathetic empty plastic container. It would seem like I’m eating healthy, But I’d have to say that showering it in Italian dressing may not be the best idea. But damn if it isn’t tasty.
On a note totally unrelated to unhealthy salad consumption, I got a new phone. Or actually I was given a new phone. By phone I mean this new supercomputer that I’m keeping in my pocket. Greg (who works for cingular) gave me his old smartphone that he had gotten tired of. Behold the glory that is the Treo 650! It’s taking some time to get used to the size and how it works. But I’ve mostly got it down now. It has a much better camera than the old T616 so the MoBlog should really start to pick up. Unfortunately the pictures are about double the size of the old ones. So it’ll cost more to send them over the cingular network. I’ve been trying to get the Bluetooth adapter to work on my pc, so I can just do one upload to the web at the end of the day. Buuttttt. I’ve been having lots of trouble getting the damn thing to work. You’ll know when I get it working, cause of all the glory that will be had. Seacrest out!

I hate you, and all your people…

I heard about this article on Elliot this morning. I thought it was a joke… but not so lucky. The NCAA has banned the use of “offensive” nicknames during postseason play this year. These names include Seminoles, Illini, Redmen, Orangemen, blah blah blah. This is asinine. Apparently these names aren’t offensive during the regular season, just the postseason when the national spotlight is on them. You know what’s next right? They will be coming after my Redskins and Braves. Oh and to compound things teams with the nickname warrior are not affected, as well as schools with a significant American Indian enrollment. I wish someone had the balls to stand up to this. I propose the Redskins make a preemptive strike and rename the team to “The Alcoholics” or “The Casino Owners” or something really offensive.
I do want to point out that I am sympathetic to the plight of the American Indian. What we did to them just sucks balls. Broke every treaty we ever made with them. Massacred women and children and forced them to move off their land. Therefore wouldn’t it be more offensive to name a team after Custer than to name a team after the Lakota Indians. Would you want some money from the merchandising? Fine. I think everyone needs to relax, When Florida State plays Notre Dame I’ll be rooting for the Indians to beat the Whites.

Secret project BPT-VS enters phase 3…

project BPT
Thought I’d get some things done tonight so I didn’t go out to kick the ball around with the boys. At first I was trying to find information on the band HER, but that’s another post entirely… I gave up on trying to get the new treo working without the right drivers and what not… then I took a couple lemon drops to calm my nerves and began phase 3 of the Beer Pong Table, Painting! I had already sketched most of the table design the other day so I was really just doing a giant paint by numbers. This reminded me of painting the mural on the wall with Brian a couple years ago… Honestly it sucked a little, but it has to be done… efforts must be doubled! Back to the sweatshop tomorrow.

This song is totally stuck in my head…

HER
I was listening to The Daily Source Code today and Adam played this song. I don’t know where he got it because it’s not on the pod-safe music network. I’m not usually one of those guys that searches out new music but this band is awesome! Their name is “HER” and apparently they are from New York, but that’s about all I know about them. (and the lead singer is a hottie, I wish they had bigger pictures) *cough* email me *cough* I can help The song that is really stuck in my head is “Get Away” it’s like a country rock vibe, just so freaking sweet. But there are a few other tracks available on their website (you may have to look for them though, website needs a little work) They are all good too, I will have to buy this one when it comes out (shocker! not download) “Get Away” is playing on the main page.

Camping on the James…

Uncategorized

Camping at Hatton Ferry So I went camping and tubing over the weekend. It was really fun on Saturday and really relaxing on Sunday. Mostly because on Saturday we made up a frisbee game where one of the rules was you always had to have a beer in your hand at all times. The funniest part of this was my one man rescue mission into the river to save the frisbee from floating away. It was like a Jowh Woo movie when I jumped into the river as I threw my shirt to Kyle on the river bank. But that’s where my sweet moves ended as my second dive landed my hip square on a rock boulder that was about 3 inches below the water. But I’m obviously hardcore, cause I suffered through it and saved the hostiges frisbee. After this game was over we were so out of it that we just ate hunks of meat right off the fire, followed by hotdogs and smores! Sleeping was a little difficult as Brian and I somehow became the lords of the flies. We had 15 or so little roomates in there with us. The next day we woke up around 9 and got down to the van down by the river bus that took us to the river. So we loaded into our tubes and prepared for a long long day of strenuous floating. Interupted by super soaker fights and cliff jumping. It was a good day, but nobody really felt like drinking that much, cause of our game from yesterday. We got back and went out to Charlottesville to use a computer and eat at “Little Johns” deli. Which I will have to say that wasn’t the best I’ve ever had. It was like they but beef stew on a bun? just a little weird. Later when we got back to the camp site Ben, Brian, and I reprised our camping tradition of blowing stuff up and burning things. Also our tradition of getting scared of sticks in the woods was going strong. I remember Ben litterally jumping on the table when we turned around and saw that a raccoon was five feet away from us getting the chocolate out of the cooler. Good times. About then we decided it was time to go to bed. The next day we packed up and went home. all that was left was to shower and get some clean clothes. AND I got sunburned in the shade! good for me! via Camping Gallery

I really want this to be my plate…

Fignuts VA
I was looking through a directory of vanity plates today and I was inspired to check if they are available in Virginia. I have to give it to the people at the DMV their website catches mostly all of the offensive ones, even the backwards ones. 3MTA3 being my favorite… think about it…there you go! I have MARK540 on my truck and I was thinking of getting that transfered to the Scion. But maybe it’s time to go with something new. Something nerdier, or cooler? The ones that I though of in the last 20 minutes sitting here are UZTHE4C , HALOTWO, 5FOUR0, NTELNSYD, or … FIGNUTS! I really really want Fignuts, cause it is also my xbox live ID. But there is no way that the DMV would ever let something that obvious slip through. Though they did let Richie get FUGGGLY so there’s always a chance. But it specifically states in the rules that the plate “may not describe intimate areas or genitals”… I would never do that I just love Newtons!
