Sorry

I'm not saying it's my fault but I want to say how very sorry I am for anyone who's family or friends were injured or killed by the earthquake and ensuing tidal waves that ravaged southeast asia. At this time I'm reading reports that the deathtoll is as high as 116 - 117,000 people. Many of them were children. I didn't complain about what I did and didn't get for Christmas this year. I got to spend time with family and they are still here.

I hope the U.S. Government is doing more than sending a paltry 15 mil. to aid in the relief efforts. Perhaps I will try and find some websites that can tell you what you can do to help. For you Mormons out there, I found this:

Ants all up in my pants

We have ants. They crawl all over our apartment and I swear the little bastards are in my pants feasting on my pathetic bocy as I write. I noticed them coming around a while back and quickly blamed my roommates for the infestation. Time goes on and the ants increase in numbers. Then one day as I'm making a peanut butter and honey sandwhich to take to work I notice ants all over my hand as i put the honey back into the cupboard. Well, I hurriedly swatted the ants from my soft, pale, office-worker hand. I Washed the honey jar and cleaned the cupboard and figured that problem was taken care of. The whole way to work and half way into the working day I was scratching. I could not decide if I really had literal ants in my literal pants or if I was playing tricks on myself with my evil mind powers. And why would my mind want to play tricks on me anyway? That's not cool.

The ants were still there when next I opened the cupboard. What were they eating? The honey residue had been washed form the jar so why were they still here? I threw the bottle out. Problem solved. Wrong. Now they were crawling all over the peanut butter jar. I shook them off and now i have to keep my peanut butter in the refrigerator. I don't mind cold peanut butter but it's awfully dififcult to spread evenly over a flimsy piece of bread. In addition I have this uneasy suspicion that an ant fell into the peanut butter and eventually made it into a sandwhich. Once in the sandwhich the ant would wait until lunch time at which point I would eat the sandwhich and the ant would enter my system to infect me from the inside. Once inside me this little ant would mutate and asexually produce a breed of über änts. These über änts would feast on my body üntil it was nothing more than a lifeless sack of über änts. These new änts would spring forth from my cocoon body and infest the world armed with an insatiable hunger for peanut butter and honey. What I'm saying is . . . we still have time to save the worlds peanut butter cache. Honey pratically makes itself and if my intuition is correct, the ants need a combination of peanut butter and honey in order to support the assexual "budding" process through which they generate progeny. If we are able to secure one of these two elements we can starve the über änts into submission and turn them on our enemies. Only then will the rest of the world recognize their futility in arguing against American supremecy. I may die but if I do I pray you will not let it be for nothing.

That was weird. Suffice it to say the ants are still around, though I cannot find a trail. I keep looking for food sources to extinguish and send the ants packing but they still have scouts who are sure to bring the masses out again if they find a stash of sucrose in some hidden place. I'm still not sure if I really have ants all over me or if it's a mind trick or if maybe one of my alternate personalities is possibly a drug addict and I'm totally high right now.

Häppy hölidays fööls!

Awesome and Not So Awesome

Not So Awesome:

- How long it takes me to update this site. If you read this you must hate me for making you wait so long just to be disapointed.

- The fashion trend of wearing overpriced, thin, longsleeve hoodie shirts with jeans and a sportcoat. I like Banana Republic but I also hate Banana Republic.

- A sandwhich made all of chopped black olives and mayonaise. Worse than that is the fact that it wasn't what i ordered. Also not awesome, finishing that sandwhich and realizing that I had just eaten a whole sandwhich made of chopped black olives and mayonaise and I couldn't change that fact.

- The women who walk around the shopping/financial district of San Francisco with large bags in each hand from very expensive stores while everyone else is working. Their manner of dress is either boring or obnoxious but either way they always wear an evident sense of entitlement.

- Frat boys wearing pink. What the hell are the art fags and indie kids supposed to wear now? Jerks!

- Kenneth Cole is having a sale on shoes . . . and they all suck!

- Ants, everywhere. More to follow.


Awesome:

- China Town San Francisco, and I'll tell you why:

_______- Tapioca Drinks. These are good, they come in a variety of fruit flavors and they have chewy tapioca gems to delight. But mostly, the poster I saw advertising these drinks says "Let me crazy!"

_______- You can get a dozen coconut buns for $4. It used to be $3 but they raised the price. Still a good deal cause they are awesome tasty and a dozen of those mothers is a lot.

_______- You can get a dozen potstickers for $2 even and that makes for a nice little lunch.

_______- You can buy all kinds of crazy crap from the many gift emporia, including: "Smiled Bubble Hammer with Terrible Voice" It is just as awesome as it sounds.

_______- There's all these Chinese people walking around so it feels almost like being in another country. A country where I am a giant.


Awesome continued:

- An old guy walking down Market street in black leather pants. That may not sound awesome but it was and maybe you just had to be there at that moment with that song in your headphones walking to work and seeing this old guy in leather pants.

- Ceremony by New Order. It's a song. One of the best ever. It's so good to me that it hurts to listen to it and I can't stop listening to it.

- Tuna sandwhich. Much better than a pile of black olives and mayonaise. In fact, they are an awesome kind of sandwhich.

- Inside-out Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. Damb tasty. They look kind of weird cause the outside is peanut butter color but don't be afraid to sink your teeth in them. They are only available for a limited time, so I suggest you buy them if you see them. I think I may like them even better than original peanut butter cups. I'm not lying about this.

Not So Awesome yet, Sooooo Awesome!:

- Guy walking down market street dressed in black with knee-high black boots and long straight blond hair down to the skall of his back. This wasn't a high school kid, this guy had to be in his late thirties. That's comitment.

- The ugliest transexual I've ever seen with the ugliest mullet I've ever seen. It was blond, permed short and tight on the top, and long and straight on the bottom. He/she might have been related to the guy mentioned above.

- Utility Kilt: http://www.utilikilts.com/index.htm

- Utilikilt and bullet bike. Somehow putting these two together makes them both pretty awesome.

Here it is . . .

I was rifling through my email inbox (yes, rifling) when I came across an email with the subject line:

"Here is it.... [knowledge harness bastard]"

So, you can imagine how disapointed I was to find that it was nothing more than an ad for some weak online gambling website.
