Semi-Break

New posts for a bit are gonna be here.

Just trying it out to see where I want to continue blogging. Not really sure, both have different positives, but I'll figure it out soon enough.

Ohh Grooveshark

De La Soul - Me, Myself, and I



Hearing the song that this was sampled from before made me realize I missed this song.

My Summer Song

Nothing reminds me of summer like this song. U.S.E. - Climb the Walls

Rush Day

Been listening to Rush a lot today. Really really need to get some of their albums and quick

All the Above

Damn T-Pain getting another song on the radio that gets stuck in my head easily. But it is mainly Maino so I guess I can let it slide for now.

Fancy Sauce



I want some fancy sauce...

(not really, I hate mayo)

Life and Rhymes of Kanye West

Saw this video for "Heard Em Say" today while flipping through channels. I totally forgot about this. The whole thing is definitely worth the watch.

Part 1 (finding the other parts shouldn't be that hard):

I Kill People



Jon LaJoie. One funny ass dude.

A Thought On Me

What one of my teachers had to say to me yesterday:
Teacher: You know, I don't think people tell you this enough, but you're actually a smart kid. Except you don't act it. You act pretty dumb.
Me: Thank you?
Yup. I had nothing else to say.

Eminem - 3 AM



Not sure how I feel about this yet. I mean, its crazy, but I don't know if its the right crazy yet.
I'll figure it out after a couple more listens.

Earth Angel by The Penguins



I'm feeling some doo-wop today.

Oh Happy Day

How can this day not be great?
1. I finished every one of my classes except the one about a big ass magnet (NMR Spectroscopy).
2. More importantly, my computer works again (and hopefully for more than 2 weeks this time around). Big ups to Mikey for helping to deduce the problem (it was shitty RAM; one stick was bad, the other was good so right now I'm running on one) and also helping me in this whole process.

In celebration, my favorite video about computers...

Jones BBQ and Foot Massage

I will never stop laughing at this.



And for more.

Single Ladies

What's better than 3 single ladies? How about 100?

I surprisingly watched Max Keeble's Big Move last night and this is the only reason why:

A Quote

I meant to put this quote up when I was making my decision on what to do next year. Its a bit late, but I think it's still validated.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.”

-Lao Tzu

So Soulful Now

Heard on the way back from the library today (even I didn't know I went there still) and it promptly got stuck in my head.

Sunday, April 19, 2009

"I really was just gonna go to sleep. Why don't you go do things girls do, like paint each other's nails or cook?"

Vadrum Meets Super Mario Bros.

Really hard to choose just one to post. I'll just do all three...

Oh How I Love Thee

BAM!

Youtube, quite possibly my favorite site in the world, just got a thousand times more awesome. Now, they have full movies and tv shows and I can only imagine how much better its going to get in the next couple months.

Plus you can watch Cliffhanger on it.

Turn My Swag On

I wish I could turn on my swag like Soulja Boy...

Student Appreciation Day

I felt appreciated yesterday. Thank you USP??? (Hey, it beats the Student Appreciation Day of freshman year....)

The Original Family Guy

As I'm sitting watching OnDemand with Colin, Rikin, and Mikey, we finally figured out where Family Guy got its whole idea of random clips from...

Bobby's World

The whole random clips is almost a straight rip off of the brilliance of Bobby's World.
Honestly, just watch and take a trip down memory lane. (only part 1 is posted)




And Hung, remember Captain Squash now?

Influential Comics and Art

AmazingSuperPowers

Another favorite of mine. Inappropriate jokes at time, but hilarious nonetheless. Plus you get a bonus line if you scroll your mouse over the comic strip. Add in the pretty, pretty drawings and this is a winner.

Some Favorites:
Lincoln
Death of Cobain
Greatest Trick
The Magician
We All Have Regrets

Lykke Li - Breaking It Up

What should I be doing?
a) Finishing up my Math with Application to Chemistry presentation
b) Posting pretty much the only Lykke Li song I like (as of her current album)
c) Both, but with less distraction.

Correct answer: b

I gave Lykke Li a try, but this is the only song I really like (and A Little Bit, but that doesn't hold a candle to this song).

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

Spirit in the Sky by Norman Greenbaum. Really great classic rock song.



Interesting Fact from Wikipedia: Interestingly, although his one hit "Spirit in the Sky" is considered by many to be a Jesus rock song with a heavily Christian theme, Greenbaum was and still is a practicing Jew.

Oh Happy Day!

Yesterday was a glorious day. Besides it being Easter (and I hope everyone who celebrates enjoyed it), I achieved yet another one of my goals for this semester.

But which one could it be?

Its a little too early for one.
#2 was figured out last week.
#3 a) is still eluding me (Hakuna Matata is complete irony for me. Means no worries for the rest of your days...if you can beat it).

Uh-oh, that leaves one bullet left. And another first(!) at that. I finally was able to slay the demon level known as Level 2: Electric Snowboarding Death Boogaloo. In case you haven't experienced the death-fest this level is known for, let me tell you a little story.


You are Sylvester Stallone. You are up against terrorists. You must elude said terrorists by snowboarding down a mountain with an avalanche creeping ever closer. Oh, and did I mention there is only one slope down the mountain with the most asinine obstacles ever constructed? Because this mountain has that, from death pillars (maybe they're trees?) to stones to logs to slalom style entrapments (if you don't believe me, watch). And did I almost forgot the avalanche that is always trailing you, watching your every step forcing you to not only avoid obstacles, but avoid them at the fastest speed possible? Whoops, how could I forget that?

But now I am among the few who actually had the patience and tenacity to stick it out. So this begs the question: Was it worth it?

Yes. 16 years of waiting worth it.

Gay Fish (Full Version)

South Park, by far my favorite TV show, ripped Kanye West. And now they have a full version of Gay Fish (available for download here). Extremely funny, totally worth it.
Just listen...

Ray LaMontagne - You are the Best Thing

Hung sampled this song, but I'm liking it regardless. Nice chill rock with a Motown vibe.

Random Thoughts

1. The didgeridoo is the hardest instrument I have ever tried to play in my life. There is nothing simple about it. And I don't even want to know why there are only two types of didgeridoo music on Youtube, classic and techno.

2. Dave and Buster's for the chemistry dinner on Thursday was awesome. There was probably no better place to have it.
2. a) Time Crisis 4 was a pain in the ass, but me and Monte became Time Heroes for saving the world from all the crazy shit that was happening.
2. b) All that time playing this arcade game as a kid at the Boardwalk on Easter with Adam still pays off. Hit the jackpot in almost no time (got me a shot glass from D & B's).

3. Vanilla milkshakes are delicious. Anytime, anywhere. (This also reminds me of when I'd go up to Highland Lakes with my dad when I was younger and would get hotcakes and a vanilla shake from McDonald's at 7 AM, but that's a whole other story.)

4. I have a completely stupid idea for when I move to Texas, but I think I love it. Definitely more on this at a later time.

The Simple Things

Happiness is a warm shower and a cold sweet tea.

Maybe I'll adjust to Texas faster than I think.

Critical Decision

During this past week, I finally made my "critical decision", the decision on what I am going to do with my future (more specifically, life after I graduate USP this year).

And I decided that I am going to graduate school at Texas A&M University. Making up my mind on this took me a while, but I'm happy with the choice I made. My choice mainly boiled down to two main points:

1. Could I see myself doing research there?
This question is not as simple as it seems. While I could see myself doing research there, I didn't want to limit my options after it by doing super specialized research (ie. Organic synthesis vs. specific applications of polymers).

2. Am I settling for Texas A&M?

But at the end of my thought process, I determined the answer to both of these questions. For the first, what I do in graduate school does not wholly define the scientist I will become. It will shape my thought process and what types of research I will have more knowledge on, but it doesn't what I specifically have to be.

The second question was a bit more murky. I didn't visit any other graduate schools, so I was unable to make a comparison between any two programs (making a good, informed choice would mean I can compare and contrast similar things, not comparing working or going to get a PhD). Another important thing is that A&M wasn't my top ranked program. But the one thing that reassured me is that when I did visit College Station, I liked it there. I liked the atmosphere, the area, and, most importantly, the program.

So in closing, I guess I have only one thing to say: Go Aggies!

Sigh

I hate my computer. It can't make up its mind on if it wants to work or not...
I have two ideas of what it could be, but we'll see if my premonitions are right.

Influential Comics and Art

New section going up today!

Influential Comics and Art

I feel that the title is self explanatory, but let me explain it a little bit.
Throughout the years, I have found a lot of comics (newspaper based and webcomics) or different artists who really inspire me. This could either be due to their writing, artwork, or a skillful combination of both. This section is going to highlight those very artists and writers that find a way to reach me and excite my creative side.

So today, I figure I'll start with a webcomic that I've read for a very long time. Penny Arcade is a webcomic that focuses mainly on video games and gamer culture (per Wikipedia).
But why does it influence me? A distintive blend of great humor, fantastic artwork, and brilliant references. One of my favorite webcomics by far.

Some of my favorites strips will be posted later.

Update as promised (the first is my favorite probably, but nearly all of their strips is great)
As Foretold In Revelations
The Tournemon, Part One
The Man-Maker
Why The Hell Not

Kid Cudi ft. 88keys - Wasting My Minutes

Not a new Kid Cudi song by a long shot, but my friend Caswell put it on his away message and I'm liking it (but not as much as Ego by Beyonce and Kanye).

N.A.S.A.

Not talking about the real N.A.S.A. today, but instead the musical group, N.A.S.A.
And right now, I have no way I can accurately describe them. Just listen.

N.A.S.A. "Gifted" (feat. Kanye West, Santogold, & Lykke Li)




Bonus

N.A.S.A - The Mayor (feat. The Cool Kids, Ghostface Killah, Scarface & DJ AM)

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

Up today is "Dream Police" by Cheap Trick.



Because who honestly hasn't been driven insane by those men inside your (or my) brain.

Philadelphia Zoo

This morning, I went to the Philadelphia Zoo for a project for one of my classes. Ance since its been a while since I've been to any zoo, and because I needed pictures for the project, enjoy some of my favorite pictures from the day.

*NOTE* Some have been digitally edited to improve my photography skills (or lack thereof).

American Alligator













Cheetah













Bald Eagle

















Amur Leopard (only 30 left in the world)





























Vampire Bat (no flash allowed in nocturnal area)


Pine Barrens Tree Frog

Interesting Things This Week

1. I went to a 76'ers basketball game (and they won!). If only I could enjoy the Philly sports teams. Sorry, the Nets, with their even crappier name, are my team. I have to have a little hometown pride.

2. Miss Kitty, the kitten my roommate Mike adopted/took off the street to help find her owner and is taking care of despite his allergies to cats, is in heat. I've never seen a cat present itself before and don't think I really want to anymore. Its kind of humorous at first, but it gets annoying after a while (plus with the constant meowing, which is an apparent mating call). Either way, I'm not going to take this advice. Something about sodomy to a kitten is extremely wrong.

3. Besides drawing a new comic, I've actually started looking at drawing tutorial sites. Reading, doing a couple drills and tutorials, and learning how to look at thing differently. Soon enough I'll probably post one of my new drawings.

4. I got my computer back (almost forgot that was this week...)

Jesus + Sports = ??????

I don't know if there's anything right to say about this video. I can say two things though:

1. I laughed. And the last scene: priceless.
2. It reminds me of the video project my group did in Creative Writing in high school entitled "JC in the AD".

Critical Decision

Is it really possible that I did a comic styled movie trailer as to what I am going to do with my life next year?

Yes. And I envision it as an action thriller. Enjoy



















This really doesn't help me in any facet of my decision making. I just wanted to do another comic styled movie trailer with me (or alter ego me with the blonde afro).

New Doodle

As I T.A. Organic Chemistry Lab, sometimes I get a little bored between answering questions and making sure people aren't putting themselves (and myself) at risk.

Though am I bored enough to make me as a stick figure as a samurai? Yes.

Original:













Black and White:













I prefer the black and white. Seems more stylized and suitable for the drawing.

Morning Quickie

Peter Bjorn, and John. Hung posted an old song from them randomly. Then today, someone on Facebook said their new album was really good. I investigated. I like. I think I know a new album I need to listen to.

[My Brother's] On a Boat

Special post goes out to my brother, Adam, today.

Every so often, Adam goes out on a boat to do research and his super fancy government work (just kidding, Adam. I don't know if its that fancy).

Thus in honor of him, I'm posting this:



I know its kinda old, but I feel like its the only video to post about this event.

Death of an X-Box

I've kept realizing that I have totally neglected any of my past scanned comics (mainly due to the Great Computer Crash of 2009).

Today, I rectify this problem with "Death of an X-Box", a story influenced by the Kill Cam in Call of Duty 4 as well as, you know, an X-Box dying. Special Guest Appearance by Jeff, Mikey's folding chair buddy.

Home School

I don't know if this makes me more or less envious of kids that were home schooled?



Video by the sketch group The Whitest Kids U'Know.

New Something!

I was playing around today with some stuff on my blog, looking at different templates and widgets and stuff.

But I finally figured out one I don't mind adding. A music player (the same as Hung's) with just a small sample of songs. No reason why I picked them, just wanted to get something up under it.

Sunday, March 29, 2009

Happy!

First update from my [old] sexy computer! It works again and I am forever grateful to Mikey for it.

Goals for the Rest of the Semester

1. Finish my B.S. in Chemistry.

2. Decide what to do with my life next come August.

3. Beat the "Just Can't Wait To Be King" level in the Lion King on Sega.
3. a) Beat the entire Lion King game.

4. Beat the snowboarding level in Cliffhanger on the Sega CD. (Oh God, the other scourge of mine and my brother's childhoods).
4. a) Beat Cliffhanger.

Happiest Day of My Year?

Today, I made a bold choice. It was a choice riddled in hardships, but it will make me a better person.

I brought my Sega Genesis to Philadelphia.

And this lead me to one of my happiest moments of the new year: I finally beat the second level of the Lion King game. This was the level known as "Just Can't Wait to Be King" (a level that had the midi of the same song playing in the background. It was also known as the bright, water colored nightmare in my childhood.

But now, I have conquered my foe for the first time. Now it's time to show the rest of the game who doesn't suck (as much) anymore.

Another Day, Another 10 Dollar

I'm still on my Charles Hamilton grind today (yeah, the post title is a pun). This time its more representative of his creative sample side.
And it also makes me wanna pop my Sega back out...Hmm...that might not be a bad idea.

Saturday, March 28, 2009

Charles Hamilton - Loser

Ahh, so good. Charles Hamilton is growing on me.

New Hard Drive!!!!

I finally got it! Now I just need to get this bad boy installed in my computer and start all over.

Estimated day I'll have a working computer again: Wednesday (unless Mikey loves me enough that he can install it in between studying for Pharmaceutics...probably not)

Saturday

If only I remembered to listen to this song every Saturday...(especially since Hung didn't let me listen to it otherwise when I lived with him).





Tuesday, March 24, 2009

FML

I'm supposed to have my new hard drive right now, but some dumbass who ordered it (.....me) put in the wrong address. So now my hard drive is sitting at UPS in Philadelphia. Worse thing is, I can't get it from UPS because the address on the package is wrong and doesn't match any of my documents.

I miss you computer., but the Mac Attack is a serviceable replacement.

I Love You, Man

I seem to be on a Paul Rudd kick lately (watched Role Models and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also watched the opener for a show he writes for, Party Down). With that initial thought out of my head, I went to go see I Love You, Man last night.

Even though it's no Forgetting Sarah Marshall (possibly even Role Models, its too hard to tell right now since they're both really good), I really enjoyed the movie. Funny, direct, and honest, plus Rush?!?! What's not to like? Add in Jason Segel (I need to start watching How I Met Your Mother, but that's besides the point), Rashida Jones (one of the reasons I watched Boston Public, the other being that it was entertaining), and cameos from some Human Giant cast members, and this movie is another I'd recommend.

Friday, March 20, 2009

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

New song for this. Its the Counting Crows' "Einstein on the Beach".

Love the song, but bonus points for the video which happens to be one of the only anime series that I couldn't get enough of. (maybe more about that some other post....which also reminds me that I need to post my Vegas pictures. Sigh, come back to me computer!)

Role Models

So to break in Jizz's new tv (which he won in a raffle for 10 bucks, which is awesome), a bunch of us decided to watch Role Models. And I gotta say one thing, I loved it. Besides Paul Rudd, Stifler, and McLovin, the movie features a kid (literally) that's an unheralded star on me (and Hung's) favorite sketch comedy show, Human Giant, Bobb'e J. Thompson. Every one of his scenes is fantastic and hilarious. Overall, a must see comedy.

Thursday, March 19, 2009

LMFAO ft. Pitbull - I'm In Miami

With the recent techno/dance/house/electronica mixed with rap kick my housemates have been on for the past semester, I'm surprised a song like this hasn't been posted soon.
Props to Kunj for always playing songs like this all the time.
No props for Deval who said he introduced the original song to me 4 months ago.

Tuesday, March 17, 2009

From the Mac!

Things That Make Me Upset:
#1. My computer not working. Sigh...it happened yesterday and it's killing me on the inside. Mainly because I really can't do any work and whenever I usually get bored in Philly, the internet is always there. Hope I can get this fixed soon.

If not, I need a good plan.

Sunday, March 15, 2009

Erin Express

The Erin Express. Simultaneously both the best and worst decision of my weekend to go on it.
Definitely had a ton of fun yesterday, but the only accurate way to describe my energy and motivation to do work now is low. It also doesn't help that my seminar presentation (aka one of the two minor hurdles between me and graduation) is this week and my preparedness for it is also extremely low. The beginning of this week is gonna suck...

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

Such a chill classic rock song. My favorite Stones song and one that always finds a way to center me.

Monday, March 9, 2009

Tinchy Stryder - Take Me Back

Not really a new song by any means, but when you don't like in the UK, you probably won't hear songs from there too much. Tinchy Stryder is a grime artist. And if you don't know what that is, I just read enough wiki to figure it out. Combo hip-hop, dancehall, and electronic dance (I know, weird combo, but I'm really liking the song).

Sunday, March 8, 2009

Another Quickie

Finally got back to Philly today. All I have to say is this:

1. The last week was ridiculously fun, but left me tired and not wanting to be in a plane or car ride for a long while.
2. I liked Texas A&M.
3. I need sleep. Changing time zones and daylight savings time didn't help on top of everything else.

With that said, maybe I'll get a real update later this week. Who knows...

Friday, March 6, 2009

Quick Hits

Just got back from Vegas and I figured since I don't feel like knocking out a huge entry (saving that for next week) and because I need sleep (flying to Texas A&M in the A.M.), I figured I'd knock out some quick shots on my trip.

1. The trip was awesome.
2. Drinks outside of clubs and bars aren't too expensive (12 pack of Corona for $13?, 6 pack of Budweiser American Ale for $4? I'm d).
3. Drinks inside clubs and bars are.
4. Colin played his new song, Gee, a crap-ton of times. It will be in my head for another week.
5. I really, really need some quality sleep and I'm not getting it until Sunday, but it was definitely worth it.

Sunday, March 1, 2009

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

I try to keep this category mixed up, throwing in songs of different genres and whatnot. So I figured I'd redeem myself for Soul Decision and throw up a good song that isn't so questionable.

So take it away, Lupe. The first song I heard from you will always be my favorite.

Missing You

This comic is a tribute to the girl I miss the most, the one who always came in late to Biochemistry and I always think I knew why....

Wednesday, February 25, 2009

Crazy Thought?

Drinks + Lab Reports = Productivity

I don't know what's wrong with this equation, but it seems to be work for me (at least right now, Physical Chemistry probably just needed a little something to be interesting).

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

Why do I even like this song?



You know what, I have no good answer for that. But I can tell you two things: 1) I had no idea that the guy singing this was white and 2) I can always listen to this song for whatever reason.

Tuesday, February 24, 2009

Internet Savior

I'm sure everyone knows about Wikipedia. Simply put, it knows all. But the worst part about it, some entries are too complicated to understand.

Enter Simple Wikipedia. Much easier to understand and much, much shorter. Sign me up (Also because I have a new source for material that doesn't reek of plagiarism)

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

What's been going on in my life?
School-wise, senioritis is all that has happened. And I for one would like to say that it is severely underrated, especially since its coupled with not having many classes (Read: Awesome).

Outside of that though, a bunch of things, but only one I really want to mention. And what could possibly be worth this one shout out? None other than winning a charity soccer tournament. While the benefits go to a good cause (good by me), winners got a $100 prize (fa shooooooooo). This meant that I get twelve fitty (the only downfall of an 8 man team) for just playing a couple games of soccer. Its almost the easiest money I have ever made.

Kool Aid












Something was/is wrong with me for this comic. But know I kinda want some Kool Aid...

My Current School Mascot

First and foremost, I have tried to defend my school mascot for a while now (mainly comparing him to Drexel's shitty dragon), but now, I'm gotta it out. A science devil???? Who thought of changing our mascot to a science devil? It's kinda cool on an ironic level, but it does nothing to inspire fear into your opponents (unless you know, they don't like science).
















And just because someone could, we made a variant of our shirtless non-champ to rep intramurals.















It's a little better, but not by much.

So final thoughts:
Good Things About Drake:
1. He's a devil. Devils make pretty good mascots.
2. He's funny on an ironic level. (Yet nowhere near as funny as Dartmouth's unofficial mascot Keggy)

Bad Things About Drake:
1. Way too happy for a devil
2. Way too much chest shown for a happy mascot.
3. The lab coat and goggles do not intimidate the CACC (which due to my immature mind, I find to be a funny conference name).

Sigh, new school mascot, please be better.

Songs I Can't Not Listen To

A little background on this brand new little section of mine (that I get to slap a new, special label on).


















I listen to this guy a lot during the day. Now, since I rarely know what I want to listen to, I usually turn this bad boy on shuffle and see what pops up. Though while this sometimes gives me a great song, usually I'm pressing the next button. Now couple in how I'm feeling that day, and the next button is getting worn out a lot. This brings me to my new label.

There are always those songs that whenever and wherever they pop up in my shuffle (or just in life), I have to listen to. These posts are going to be those songs; the songs that I have to listen to and will consequently always make me feel good.

So on to the first song by one of my favorite bands, Metallica. The song is One, but instead of putting the usual studio version (which is still badass), I'm putting up a live version performed with the San Francisco Symphony. Enjoy!



*Side note* Accidentally found out how to embed videos with different dimensions, borders, and whatnot. Now maybe things won't stretch over the sidebar....
*EDIT* And it works. Thanks random clicking on Youtube!

Michale Franti And Spearhead - Everybody Ona Move



Heard this song in a PS3 commercial. Reminds me a little bit of Paul Oakenfold, but either way, I can't help but feel good when I listen to it.

NFL Scouting Combine

So I'm just sitting here and I have my TV on the NFL Network with the Scouting Combine on. Two reasons for this:
1. I love football. Go Dolphins
2. I need background noise since my roommates don't wake up until at least 2 PM.

But what keeps drawing me back to watching it has to be the way they describe the players on the bottom of the screen. They vary from incomprehensible to random facts about the player. Below is a sample of my top 5 I've seen today.

-Jekyll or Hyde: I get what it's supposed to mean, but I honestly have no idea who's the better player between Jekyll and Hyde (answer: neither).
-Coaches Son: "Awesome, so now I know why this kid always gets more playing time than me..."
-15 lbs 14 oz at Birth: Does this make you a good football player? Apparently the NFL Network thinks yes.
-Needs More Sand in Pants: Usually sand in your pants is a bad thing, but now I need more??? Crap, this sucks.
-Tough Guy in Phone Booth: My absolute favorite one I've seen. Hate to see the guy who found this out.

Sigh, come back to me NFL season. I miss thee.

Mime Time

I don't know why, but mimes are just funny to me.






*BONUS COMIC* (Loosely defined use of word comic, but hey, its making fun of some roommates)






It's funny because its true.

Eastbound & Down

Caught this show on HBO the other day (as one-third of my favorite comedy trio, Human Giant, told me to). I was more than impressed. Hilarious, self-absorbed comedy at its finest. So good. Oh, and Will Ferrell is an executive producer and guest stars on the show...

Clip of the first 4 minutes of the first episode.

Thor, God of Thunder


















Thor is a Norse badass. And he doesn't care about your Papa.

Vegan Fantasies

All the background that's needed:
1. Mikey is my roommate.
2. Mikey is vegan.
3. Mikey is a thrift store aficionado and likes really, really cheap things.
4. World Cultures was super boring.
5. Because of #4, I figured out what Mikey's fantasies would be.

The Result:

Flight of the Conchords- Too Many Dicks

I'm a way too entertained by this song. I blame the infectious beat. It gets me every time.

The Ocean Walker (Part Deux)


















If you don't get it....

My $25K a Year Hobby

Now, I think it goes without saying that many people get bored in class. In my case, boredom usually leads to me drawing comics. And now that I have a blog (and found out Deval has a scanner...), I have somewhere where I can post my crappily drawn comics that keep me more than entertained and provide an outlet for the crazy thoughts that go through my head.
*Note 1* Clicking the picture will enhance it making it more readable and ten times more sloppy.
*Note 2* I need to learn how to draw better...

Next - Too Close

I don't know why this song is stuck in my head, but its not getting out anytime soon. Its a shame they don't make songs nowadays like they used to in the 90's.


My Baby

She's just so sexy.

Madcon

Madcon, a Norwegian hip hop group. Gotta say that I'm really feeling them. Props to Ralston for telling me about them.

The Ocean Walker






















Who are these people and why are they on my blog? Well, I frankly don't care about the first question too much, but I can answer the second one really easy. How about them taking these pictures when they weren't in the same room, but also separated by the friggin' Atlantic Ocean.

In case you don't want to read the link, let me summarize it for you.
Girl goes on Flickr. Girl meets guy on Flickr. Love blossoms between guy and girl. Guy and girl realize an ocean separates them. Guy and girl take pictures and manipulate them to make it seem as if they're sharing moments together. Girl walks over ocean to unite with her true love.

That last part might be open for debate, but its my summary. Either way, I don't know if this story will melt my face off because its so gosh dern cute or make me want to throw up my breakfast.

I have a blog? wtf

Who knows why I'm starting this? I'd like to say I really don't know, but I have a sinking suspicion it has something to do with this.

Honestly though, I have no idea who's gonna read this...and I probably won't care (you know, until it comes back to bite me in the ass later on). But who knows what I'm gonna throw up on this. My guess is as good as yours, but knowing me, I'd expect some extremely random things that will probably even make me question what goes on in my head.
