We all get emails from time to time that have been forwarded a thousand times, and they contain various funny images.  Usually it goes like this: Open email; view contents; teehee; delete.

This time I actually felt compelled to modify and post them on the site, cuz they just got me laughing that hard.  Here ya go…

It was going to be awwwww CRAP! Pt.2 – Revenge of the Awesome, but there wasn’t enough room on the post title bar for that.

At any rate, today I went through my folders and images and re-installed my galleries. I put the images up with no captions, but as they say, “A picture is worth 483 words”, right? We’ll see if I go back through and re-caption each one or not. Certainly not tonight. At any rate, on the header bar above, click on Photos and check it out. Maybe you’ll see something you hadn’t before.

1. I got sunburned pretty gnarly last Sunday. Went to Gasworks Park with Amy, an old friend from before high school, and threw the frisbee and shot the shit for 2 or 3 hours. The park is right on the water, so the wind was blowing pretty good, and I didn’t even know I was getting a burn until I got home and started whining. At least my shades gave me some nice Vanilla Ice lines on my temples.



Whenever I get off my bike, I notice that my forehead has a really funky shape to it after I take my helmet off…and when the helmet has been off for a while, letting everything go back to normal, I notice that I still look like a dolphin a little bit, with my forehead (fivehead at this point) protruding forward a bit.  I think my damaged scalp is retaining water or is just a little swollen due to 1st degree burn or something.  Awesome.  Regardless, I look like an idiot, which is only slightly different than the norm.

2. As you may or may not know, I’ve been going on and on about the band Mastodon as of late, and so here’s a new entry in the Mastodon Chronicles. I went to the show back in April, and I brought my camera. As it was dark and we picked a specific location to hang out because Doug’s knee had just been worked on, I didn’t get a lot of really worthy pictures, BUT… I got a couple good ones. Check them out here.
3. The NutterButter bike rocks. It’s a piece of garbage, but it cleaned up nicely and is in exceptionally good shape for a bike of its kind. Thanks, Dudeman!
4. I am currently at a coffee shop/bookstore/wifi cafe.  Seated behind me are a bunch of ladies in their early 20s, and in overhearing their conversation, I’m finding out that they do this once a month and it’s basically a SuperGeek Round Table.  I don’t consider myself to be a grandmaster world-class geek, but I am absolutely capable of geekery.  I don’t rate, however, compared to these ladies, whose conversation has run the entire spectrum from Star Trek  to xkcd.com to Twilight and Harry Potter to Roald Dahl to the internet in China to television actors in relation to the roles that they play and all points in between.  I don’t know if I’m dumber or smarter for having heard that conversation.  WHEW!
5. Getting back to work on restoring my image galleries. That’s that for now.

I was just looking for pics on my site and I found that when I last changed the look of the site, I did some stupid crap and lost all the image galleries that I’d posted.

CRAP!

I still have the pics, and in most cases I still have the image galleries saved as a whole, so I should have them back up shortly. I haven’t gotten out and shot with my camera lately, but I’ll get off my ass and do so, and post some of those when I get that rolling again.

As Wile E. Coyote would say, “Back to the ol’ drawing board…”

I don’t know when the last time was that we spoke, but I’ve been dry since Easter. I’ve had a couple nights of excessive intake in the last month, but mostly I’ve been sober. Not to pat my own back or anything, but I’m clearly better than you.

At any rate, I saw this today and it cracked me up.

Extra special awesome happy funtime thanks to Dudeman for going 100 miles out of his way to deliver the Nutter Butter Beater to me yesterday. I tuned it up this morning, and…oh my goodness. I know it’s only a $10 bike, but I’m such a bike snob that I’m going to be required to purchase the following items to get it to Satisfactory Condition: new brake calipers, as the ones on the bike are so utterly worthless that it feels as though you actually SPEED UP when you grab a handfull of brakes (yeah – not so much to my liking) and a new pair of shifters – these ones are the Hi-Tech Thumb-Breaking models and require so much torque to shift gears that I may not be able to hitch-hike ever again. After that, if I feel particularly uppity, I might replace the BB/cranks, and possibly the seatpost/saddle combo, but those aren’t necessary for Living The Good Life, as I intend to do on this sweet ride.

The only thing left is to give it a good name. No, I’m not going to give it a human name like stupid people are prone to giving their cars/trucks (sorry to everybody I know, since EVERYBODY I know gives STUPID human names to their vehicles)… No, I mean some kind of play on the Nutter Butter theme. Some possible names include: Nutter Butter Blaster, Nutter Butter Beater, Nabisco Speeder, The Smoothie…you get the idea. If you feel like commenting and leaving possible names for me, please do so. In the meantime, bask in the glory that is The Nutter Butter Piece of Crap!

I love being sick.  Every time I get sick, which isn’t that often, I whine.  A lot.  Today I have the congestion in the sinuses and the lungs are producing that yummy green rubber cement stuff that we all like.  It’s sort of funny because a little over a week ago, I was laid out with the night sweats and shivering and headaches and oh man, I’m gonna die.  And I am.  Some day.

I have decided that that illness was due to an allergic or similar reaction to an air freshener that I’d bought a few weeks prior.  I came upon that conclusion because A) I had headaches and body troubles, but no chest/nasal symptoms and B) as soon as I identified and tossed out the air freshener, I started to get better.  So there you have it.

But now I have the wonderful chest and nasal congestion and wouldn’t you know it, the weather is finally turning into what resembles Spring.  Great.

At one point my mom told me to take a peek at the whole swine flu phenomenon that is being shoved down our throats right now by the media.  Did you know that you’re doomed and that you’re going to die?  You will.  Some day.

Did you know that less than 200 people have died from the dreaded swine flu and that something like 20,000 people a year die from the non-dreaded normal flu?  In the U.S. alone?  Uh oh…we’re all gonna die!!!  Some day.
