i got nothin

The intertubes are boring in these dark times.  But at least I'm not Plaxico.

new template

I changed my template so that photos and such wouldn't be cropped out. So... expect alot more lolcats pictures I guess. (wink face)

say hello to...

This Too shall pass.  It is my buddy's blog, so read it. That is all.

say hello

To kim.ber.ly.  All you readers (all three of you...errr... 2 maybe)  She is awesome and funny, one of my favorite people.

Yglesias is back.

Matt Yglesias has returned with his new blog. Read him everyday if you can.

I'm Baaack... Solzhenitsyn is not

Ok, here we go again. I am over my blogaphobia or whatever was keeping me from posting. I am ready to rejoin the teeming masses in heart of Blogfrica. So let's go!

Alexander Solzhenitsyn has died. I didn't actually know that much about him but he was clearly influential and important man who had an interesting life.

p.s. I have read One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich.

Nablopomo goes up in smoke

Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year, and I was distracted, so there has been no blogging. Also this game has taken over my life. Nothing of any interest ever happens to me, but other people they have stuff happen so go read their blogs, just kidding I will be back blogging normally(abnormally?)

Day one: Ninjas on parade

Ninja Parade Slips Through Town Unnoticed Once Again

This is pretty lame but the pressure of daily blogging is starting to get to me;)

30 Days of Blog

I guess November is National blog posting month or something... and at NaBloPoMo they say we should blog everyday of the month so I'm gonna join the forces of whatever and give it a shot. Anyway DrunkBrunch is going to be doing it which should be vastly entertaining.


HEAR ME NOW PEOPLE BLOG EVERYDAY OR...DIE!!!1!!

So let it be written let it be done.

Those of you who pick nits will say "Chancelot you didn't blog yesterday, your dreamis dead." To which I respond, "Fuck you I'll go to December 1 to make up the difference."

I will try to achieve a lighter tone than this post. Probably excessive 7eo stories, and Cowboys stories because the NFL is heating up folks. Also this does not count as my post but is only serves to warn the unsuspecting of the upcoming.

Road trip

BBA is out. Tomorrow we are heading to FLA. Really looking forward to driving thruogh Nebraska, really I am... I link to BBA's site even though he never blogs, hopefully he will keep us better informed of his antics when he is Florida.

I may or may not be blogging, while I am road tripping, we'll see???

Hey Ma, I blog like a girl.(or How men get screwed on shoes)

Andrew Sullivan links to this site which purports to determine the gender of a writer by using an algorithm. The caveat being that it works best with over five hundred words. None of my posts are that long, so the results might be skewed. Overall, apparently, I blog like a girl. I guess I should be enraged at my algorithmic femininity but I'm not. I do find this is interesting and I wonder what else I do like a girl. No, not that(keep your mind out of the gutter)... Okay, I actually kind of hope I do that like a girl. So follow the link fellow bloggers and let me know if you blog like a girl in comments.

On a tangentially related note, Here is a (redacted and paraphrased)conversation from the 7EO last night. (Jazz won, by the way. Awesome.)

31: My clothes are being held hostage by the dry cleaners.
Me: Your dry cleaner won't give you your clothes?
31: Yeah, It sucks, the worst part is women get charged more than men.
Me: (cluelessly) They do?
31: Yeah, a white man's dress shirt cost less than a woman's dress shirt...
31's friend McNasty:(interrupting) Yeah, but men get screwed on shoes...
BBA: Yeah!
Me: (cluelessly, again) Yeah, we get screwed on shoes.
BBA: We've gotta drop $100 to $150 every time we buy shoes so you can take your two dollars at the dry cleaner...
Everybody laughs

This was our contribution to on going battle of the sexes that dominates our post-modern, 21st century, consumer oriented, existence. I found this entire exchange to be quite funny and enlightening because, despite the fact that I am essentially a materialist, I had never realized the sexist nature of capitalist valuing of goods. What other items are differently priced for each gender. Have no fear, come the revolution we will all wear over sized tees, Mao jackets and flip flops. Take that! Stupid Capitalism.

Did I mention the Jazz won. They did so with some 90's school Pat Riley type defense and allowed only 4 Rockets to score. Thats a playoff record and hasn't happened in the regular season since the the advent of the shot clock.(I have always wanted to say that. Its one of those phrases that gives a quasi-inttellectual air to the essentially mindless activity of reporting on sports.) So if you want to see teams shoot less than 40% and badly missed open jumpers this series is for you. I actually don't have a problem with this type of game, but I tend to be defense oriented, offense is for girls.(Ha, Algorithm, I own you. I am a Man.) The Jazzmen need to start hitting some shots or they are in trouble. I think the offense will come around. Prediction: This series goes all seven games and comes down to some ridiculous play that will be remembered, for better or worse, by The Jazz Nation forever. Write it down!

In case you hadn't figured it out, this is my attempt to write a five hundred word, sufficiently testosterone-filled, post(there is no word counter on blogspot, damn them) and I am not sure if I have five hundred words to say on one subject. This is probably due to my essentially laconic nature...laughter.....laughter subsides... Anyway, as Soul Asylum said, I did my best.

Update: Even this post is feminine.

Update II: ESPN's so called experts have the Jazz going down in 5 or 6 games to the Rockets. Sheridan even says "The Rockets are the best defensive team in the postseason." Really? Really? The Rockets scored 67 points last night. The Jazz held the Rocket bench scoreless. Oh this was just an "aberration." I'll give you an aberration, jerk off. When the Jazz are heading to Dallas, y'all can apologize.

Hater of the Day

Here is a new (semi)regular feature. Malkin wins today but will be barred from winning more b/c it is too easy. Same goes for professional hate mongers Mike Savage and Ann Coulter.

I guess having cancer puts you on the same menu as the three legged dogs, old ladies and crippled kids that Malkin regularly dines on in her hateteria.

Blog revamp

Quit blogging for a while because the political thing is done so much better by others and didn't seem necessary to add my commie ass to the fray. But I have been re inspired by the x-sisters-in-law. So I will now focus more on sports, youtube, and everyday life, things that actually matter. Probably still have an occasional blog on particularly interesting political stuff or at least links. So here's to a brand new day. Wild Turkey for everyone. Ha!

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog.
