Why do they always send the poor?

Fuck you w. You're a lying sack of shit.

Donnie Darko

Why did it take me so long to see this movie? My new second favorite.

Buy this now... RIGHT now!!!!!

Turbonegro - Party Animals. It's not available in the US now, but if you look (that record store up the street from the Bagdad is a good place to start) you can find it.

Another FANTASTIC album from my #2 band.

Oh, and yes Hansa Rostock are heavy metal pussies!

4th Man Detained in Aruba Disappearance

4th Man Detained in Aruba Disappearance - Yahoo! News

Wouldn't it be quicker to just say "Ok, everyone who DIDN'T rape and kill her raise your hand"? It's Aruba! They've already arrested half the population!

Dave Devries's Monster Engine

Dave Devries's Monster Engine

Check out "Art". This guy takes drawings of monsters by kids and re-does them. Call me wierd, but I think that's hot.

Aljazeera.Net - US author explains 'suicide attacks'

Yeah I know Al Jazeera is the Fox of the Middle East, but numbers don't TEND to lie, and the article is worth a read.

Another advantage of living in the PNW

Tonight, I stepped on a big ass slug. Barefooted. That's hot. Welcome to the rainforest, toes. Feel the darkness.

The upside? I did it whilst grilling my midnight snack of a double hamburger. That's right Shannon, when I said I wanted a sweet delicious meaty treat I wasn't kidding. When I want to eat the flesh of my fellow animals, I want it. Goddamn it's good to be an ominvore.

What else? Well, I've been working on a personal project. It's called operation "approachable john". I've come terms with the fact that a lot of people are scared of me. Yeah, I'm a big, bald guy with a scowl on his face most of the time. I don't like that. I'd like to not freak people out, so I am trying to be more calm and to smile a little more. We'll see how it works.

OK. Tired and heading off to bed.

Random Garbage

A) I love Smallville, but I swear if someone doesn't kill Pete soon I'll be forced to. Chloe, you and your dipshit commentary and giant teeth are next.

B) A curse on pizza rolls. Thanks Shannon... Thanks a lot.

C) I've been sleeping and not working on the weekends lately. If you haven't tried it, I strongly recommend it. Shannon says I'm actually approachable now. W00t!

Medal of Honor Pacific Assault

Holy shit dude, where did all those Kates and Zeros come from?!?!!! In acknowledgement of A) How cool this game is and B) All you folks in my Grandparents generation who lived it I say.... Wow. Everyone who knows me knows I'm a little weird about my obession with WWII. This game is about as real as I suppose it's possible to get. I quit tonight stuck on the USS Arizona (and we all know how that wound up) firing blindly at anything with a meatball on it's wing after being burned in my fight to the flight deck. Nothing like having a dive bomber in your sights (and you in his) just as your .50 overheats and you're beating out the flames on your dress whites. I've spoken with more than a few WWII (and other war) vets in my time, and very few really want to talk about combat. I imagine this is why. What can you say? If a shitty simulator freaks me out this much, imagine what is was like to be a twenty-something kid living it. I despise war as much as any thinking person should (and I have a particular malice towards our latest fiasco. The definition of military failure is letting politicians plan strategy) but my salute goes out to those of you who did it because you had to. I've bought a round for WWII, Korean, Gulf War and Vietnam vets. If you're a soldier back from this bullshit, the first one's on me.

Dinner tonight

Wild Alaskan salmon and fresh wild morels. Why do I live in the Pacific Northwest? Well, here's one reason for starters. Wander out into the woods/sea, kill something, and eat it. Oh yeah. Oh and because Shannon is here.
