“What A Strange Trick”

July 17th, 2009 1 comment

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re in front of a computer.  

It’s eerie how I know this, no?  My powers of observation are almost uncanny…

Whelp, it’s finally Friday, and we all know what that means; time to get liquored up and do some stunts!

Man…I want to party with that guy!  I can see it now.  Yuri and I would go out on an all night bender, and in the morning put on our banana costumes and report to our court-ordered public service gig:

Afterwards, we’d jump on our bikes and make our way back to the bar for dollar beer night:

That’s the way we’d roll, Yuri and I…  Happy Friday!

Alright, I’ll be the first to admit that this video instantly shot up to the top of my “that’s cool” list the instant I watched it.  Talk about a band getting their fans involved in the creative process!  

From the description:

This music video was shot for Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam. 

I couldn’t help but smile as I watched this.  I don’t know about you, but I’m actively hunting down this EP with a vengeance. Bands like Sour deserve our support.  Throw this video up on MTV and you’ve got a hit.

Makes me long for the days when I got hit in the head by bits of plastic as Trent Reznor destroyed his keyboards on stage just five feet from where I was standing.  Now that’s how you connect with your audience :lol:

Oh, before I forget, I must mention that I live with an unnatural, unhealthy fear of losing my hair.  If I ever…evar…find myself sans follicles, I’ve made a pact with God and all that’s holy and wonderfully sublime that I’ll grow a mustache equal or greater in stature to that of my new found hero:

The way I figure it, once I get the ‘stache, all I’ll need is some booze, a bike, and some broads to make the entire ensemble complete.

Knowing my luck, here I am not-so-subtilely mocking a complete stranger simply because of his looks, when in fact he’s probably a Nobel prize winning laureate in the field of quantum atomic superstructures, and yes, as a matter of fact, he is a rocket scientist.  *sigh*

Oh well, whatever.  Nevermind.  Happy Friday!

Happy 4th Of July!

July 3rd, 2009 1 comment

My mini-vacation started this afternoon.  I worked 4 hours today then took off.  I won’t back back to work until Tuesday.  I think I’ll jump on my hog and take off to parts unknown, where the crank flows free and the fists do the talkin’.

…Either that, or the wife and I will have the parents over for dinner and some exciting news.

I’m sure you’re all curious what this news could possibly be.  Well, I’ll let you in on that little secret Monday morning.  Until then, see you next week! 8)

What…in…the…heck?

Poor amorphous blob. It’s tough going against the grain, especially when a Muppet is holding a gun to your head.  Such is the way it goes around here on a Friday I guess.  Perhaps next week will be a little better, assuming I can finally kick this cold-flu thing that’s been bogging me down since last Sunday.

As well.  As my dad always said to me, “When you come to the fork in the road, take it.”  I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.  I just like the way it sounds ;-)

Twelve Hour Workday

April 10th, 2009 No comments

WooHoo!  I just got off a twelve hour work today.  I’m beat, but tomorrow is Friday, and rumor has it that it’ll be a short half-day.  I’m looking forward to taking off at noon, throwing on my running gear, and hitting Iron Mountain.  Working out is what keeps me sane and stops me from strapping a razor sharp weapon to the front of my vehicle and attacking defenseless vegetables.

As I write this I’m happily enjoying a Sam Adams, feeling tired but content.  I guess if things really start going sideways in life I could abandon the beer and throw a bag over my head in an attempt to hide from the world.

Ahhh, but who am I kidding? We’re all doomed. Our mechanical alien overloads are bound to take over at any moment…

…now, where did I put that paper bag?

Here’s hoping everyone has a great weekend. See you on Monday!
