okay so i just *destroyed* the blue jays on playstation like 23-12 or something. i put up 10 in the first. pretty crazy.

we’re having a *massive* thunderstorm at the moment and i’m probably going to shut down shortly, which i never do, but this is really bad.

we’ll see.

change of tune

anyway. just surfing around and had come across the daniel pearl video that had been on and off the web. i’m totally a first amendment person, but i’m not sure how i feel about watching it now that i just did. i think it was worse because he speaks about things for a few minutes before anything happens. i’m surprised it was cut up like it was though. they didn’t show a lot of the “impact” if you will, but a little bit after it.

do groups really feel that they will get what they *want* by doing things like this? it just doesn’t work on the whole, don’t people know? at least not with americans. we don’t give in and we probably never will. sometimes i think people just don’t get it.

so you punks who think you can hit on her, just watch out! she’s packing heat!

the bear wanted me to post this, as he thought you would all enjoy it. “gunslinging beauty” – @ yahoo! news

i don’t know if any fellow google answers ™ people are out there, but is it just me or is it really frustrating to try and make any money doing this, when 9000% of the time someone answers the questions for free within the comments. i mean, you *could* still answer the question, but that would be cheezy, and i’m just not that way. i know that the comments need to be there, but i mean, there’s a difference between people doing things to be nice, and people doing things as a paid service. i dunno, perhaps i’m just being too capitalistic or something at the moment.

haven’t had time to post until now as i get home. long day, but a good one. gotta love those fridays. went out with folks from work tonight and to the sheryl crow show. was a little different than the last time, but it was a good deal. gotta love free concerts in city parks =)

today was really busy, have a ton of things to prepare for next week. fabulous, the bear, djm and i went to this place called rosario’s down near the south end of the manhattan and had some great grub. i had a pasta and calamari dish which i was amazed i could eat all of – and that was the small size!

in other news, i apparently have a poison ivy type thing going on in the ankle area that seems to have subsided since earlier this morning. i’m usually good at stuff like this dying off quickly, thankfully. plus, the calamine (sp?) lotion does the trick when you reach itchy-land.

not sure what’s up for the weekend yet. have to do some errands, pay some bills, and other random things like that. otherwise, no big plans, unfortunately.

onesome. healthy. tell us about one thing you did for yourself that’s healthy – and not just physical, mental and emotional health matter, too!

hmmm… i think i definitely keep myself mentally sane by doing things like posting on my blog, or just talking to my friends whenever i have something irking me. i hate keeping random stuff inside that doesn’t need be, which tends to make me more verbose sometimes than need be, but oh well. we’ll see how it all pans out. as for physically healthy, i think i’m pretty “in tune” with myself overall, and have pretty good (knock on wood) sickness avoidance…

twosome. wealthy. what in life makes you feel wealthy in your heart?

i’d have to say having a lot of really great friends, both from way back in like elementary school up to now as well as through my last couple jobs… it’s kind of cool to have friends to just hang out with whenever, people to talk to randomly who actually understand you, et al.

threesome. wise. share your favorite proverb or motto… or just make one up yourself

i’m sure i could come up with eight or nine. but my favorite fake “moral” to a story was one that i came up with while writing a story in spanish class we had to make a video for. most people did something dramatic, but you could do music, or cooking, or whatever. ours was:

“no comes pollo frito en el lunes del marzo.” – which is “don’t eat fried chicken on mondays in march.”

always remember that. one day, it’ll become apparent. or not.

for those faithful readers out there, you might remember me posting about a man in new jersey crashing his car in the early morning hours into a mcdonald’s, killing some folks inside. well apparently he was trying to commit suicide – you can read about it here, via metafilter.

my usual fun posting of random tidbits of news that is noteworthy and yet not so much for some.

miller brewing – sold!… looks like south african breweries p.l.c. has purchased miller brewing…. fascinating. i had truly thought that altria would keep miller as one of its brands.

it’s getting uglier and uglier by the minute in the india/pakistan “issue”…. just caught two good articles via drudge, the second of which is here… looks like we’re pulling out american civilians and our troops from the areas as the threats continue. make sure you check out littlegreenfootballs for further info, as he’s been breaking info for days on this and has been so up to speed it’s not funny.

had a little time to breathe here, got a lot more done in 10 minutes than i thought i would. always a good thing. strangely not hungry today at all. but hey, it’s lunchtime, and what are lunchtimes for other than blogging when you’re not working through them. weather outside is looking good, so i’m hoping that going to see sheryl crow will work out well. someone told me earlier that there is some sort of kooky hailstorm “scheduled” to make an appearance tonight, but i haven’t heard anything about it really. perhaps they were talking about microsoft’s “hailstorm” software/utility. or not.

if i hear anything else about brian williams replacing tom brokaw, i may faint. you all knew this was going to happen. it was only a matter of time. it’s just done now. relax. take a deep breath or two, and go with it.

so i totally used to take this road in florida (route 4) on the way to orlando and areas as such. apparently there were sinkholes appearing today. that is harsh.

and we’re surprised that eminem’s new disc debuted at number one because why?

and the world cup has a new, livelier ball – is this so the americans can score for once now? looks like goalie keller is a little hurt lately. we’ll see if he shows up this weekend.

exactly who thought the lyrics “got a body like a battle-axe” were a good idea? just curious.
