I want to be that guy...

I want to be the guy who is responsible for the following addendum to my apartment complex's lease agreement:

"You hereby acknowledge that anchoring a zip line from you balcony to the dumpster is a direct violation of your lease and will result in immediate eviction."

Fun

7

I'm actually a little sad that windows 7 is coming out so soon... I don't feel like Vista has had its full run and I really have loved the Vista OS.

The worst thing is that I heard someone refer to Vista as the modern Windows ME... Ugh... I swear this person NEVER used ME... and probably never used Vista for that matter...

I do look forward to Windows 7 because I think Microsoft is making a lot of great improvements to the OS, but I feel like this is more of the windows 95 to 98 jump than 98 to XP or XP to Vista...

If you recall, the main difference between 95 and 98 (aside from a bunch of technical crap that the average Joe never noticed) was Internet Explorer 4.0 basically replacing Windows Explorer... Sure, that was a bad idea, but it did open a lot of new possibilities (mostly for hackers).

Well, that's my rant for the day...

Good music

I'm currently enjoying the hell out of Guster, particularly the song Happier... You should have a listen.

Fun with NSFW links...

So, I found this really disturbing video on the nets and decided it would be fun to ctrl+v it to several of my buddies on the gtalk.

The only person to respond, was my friend hank or, as his parents call him, Josue.

Here is how the conversation went down:

Mike:

Josue:

I'm at work but I want to click on the link so bad.

Mike:

you shouldn't

....

but you do want to

Josue:

Knowing that I shouldn't makes it more tempting.

Mike:

it might get you in trouble...

you really should just close the window

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

just in case you closed the window.. there is the link again

... but don't click it

Josue:

I don't know what it is, I only know that whatever it is, I want it

Mike:

more than you could imagine

It's really the most amazing thing you'll ever see

you should hurry home and click the link

... but don't click it now...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

Josue:

I hate you

oh so much

Mike:

for giving you good advice.... I told you not to click on this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

It's not like I'm trying to trick you into clicking on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded ...

... just don't forget ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

At this point in the conversation, I see our mutual friend, Chris, has come online...

Conversation with Chris:

Mike:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

you should send josue that link I just sent you

Chris:

okay, why can't you do it?

Mike:

I did... and he was tempted to click it but can't

because hes at work

and I enjoy tempting the boy

and using you to do so makes it super funny to me

Chris:

okay, will do

Mike:

thanks chris, you're the best

Chris:

that's funny, when I linked it

it went and got a thumbnail of the video

and put it in the chat window

He says he is crying

Mike:

hahahahhaha

Back to conversation with Josue:

Josue:

I still hate you

Mike:

sure, here it is again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrTiKP84kAA&feature=player_embedded

Josue:

now I'm crying

are you happy

Mike:

I am too... tears of joy

Much time passes... I head to work, I go to lunch, I get an IM on my phone...

Josue:

the link better be awesome. My day has gone at snail's pace because me looking at the clock thinking, in just a few more hours I'll see what the link is all about

He never let me know what he thought of the video, but I get the feeling he didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I enjoyed taunting him...

Bob your head!

NASCAR + Vodka = Viewership!

I was thinking that in order to increase viewership, NASCAR should implement some new rules...

1. every time you make a lap, you take a shot of vodka.

2. every time someone passes you on the inside, you take a shot of vodka.

3. every time someone passes you on the outside, you take 2 shots of vodka.

4. if someone crashes into another car, you take a shot of vodka.

5. if someone crashes into a freestanding pillar, WATERFALL!

I'd watch that... Hell, I'd pay-per-view that!

Why stop there? Similar rules could be applied to any sport.

Your imagination is the limit... well, that and the players/participants blood alcohol level.
