Just a quick update: I’m going to be shutting down and archiving this version of the blog very soon and replacing it with a fresh install of Wordpress 2.5.1. This blog will still exist, but in a subfolder on my site, so you’ll still be able to read back posts and such.

The new version will have a new, cleaner theme and a lot of new features that will allow me to post remotely, quickly and more often. The posts will be more short form work, for the most part, but I will have some long form posts interspersed.

This image pretty much sums up what I think about Valentine’s Day.

Enjoy your V.D.

I saw this on another site (rules 1 and 2 keep me from identifying it or linking to it) and decided to repost here.

1. Ron Paul doesn’t need to go to the gym. He could stay fit by exercising only civil rights.

2. Ron Paul doesn’t deliver babies like most doctors. He simply reads them the Bill of Rights and they crawl out in anticipation of freedom.

3. Ron Paul doesn’t cut taxes. He kills them with his bare hands.

4. Jesus wears a wrist band that says “What Would Ron Paul Do?”

My friend sent me this pic yesterday…and I just could not resist. I HAD to LOLize it. Sue me. :)

Also, sorry for disappearing for so long (4 months and 4 days). I’ve been going through some emotional stuff and thinking about a lot of things. I also have been getting a LOT more political lately, so most likely, I’ll be spewing some of that here in the very near future.

Keep your eyes peeled.

I was perusing LOLPresidents.com and IMing a few links to a friend of mine when I came across this gem. Click on the photo, check out the Pope…then check out the vertical banner ad on the left.

Obama’s campaign may want to rethink this one. ;)

Well, since I blogged my rather inane conversation with a friend about the iPhone a while back…I might as well blog our rather twisted conversation about the GPhone.

Today was a rather hectic day at work, between video crappola and a staff-wide meeting with the new President of our organization. So, upon returning to my office after lunch, I decided to open up WinAmp and throw on some tunes. Mind you, I tend to listen to entire albums at a time…no “random” for me. My tastes are far too eclectic to throw my entire music collection on random — I’d end up having a seizure or dying of shock when the tracks roll from Enigma to Slipknot (it’s happened…not the seizures…but the transition…it was jarring to say the least).

First up was Jane’s Addiction. I hadn’t listened to them in a while, so I loaded up Ritual de lo Habitual and started rocking out. About 3/4 of the way through the album, for some ungodly reason, I decided to look at the date the album came out.

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it couldn’t be just me.

As many people have read and commented on, I haven’t had the best luck with women up here in the DC area. It has somewhat turned me sour towards women in this area (not the ones I personally know, but a good chunk of the rest). Well, it turns out, it’s not just me…it’s women in general.

Now, before you start bashing me for generalizing, hear me out.

I was reading Digg.com yesterday, near the end of the day, and came across an article on DoubleViking.com (admittedly a “guy site”) entitled Unfortunate (Sexual) Things About Being a Man. One part of the article struck me right away: that women just seem to hate men…especially meeting men in social situations.

Don’t believe me? Read for yourself:

Norah Vincent is a lesbian journalist. I say this not because “lesbian” is one of the only things one might need to know about her, but to bring to mind the cliché that most lesbians, to some extent, hate or dislike men.

Vincent’s book, A Self-Made Man, chronicles the year and a half she spent disguised as a man named “Ned,” in order to find out how the lives of men are different from the lives of women. While most of her findings could have been easily figured out without all the effort involved in cross-dressing (incidentally, men are less vocal about emotions than women), one particular finding is especially interesting:

Is it just me or does Bush look like he should be carrying the torch?

In remembrance of me going to see Transformers on Tuesday (matinee show, no less), here’s a quick quip from Diesel Sweeties from a few days ago.

Oh… and if you’re politically-minded, take a second and vote in the new poll to the right. Just choose your candidate and state at the bottom of the poll.

Have a great weekend! (Hopefully I get around to actually posting this weekend…we’ll see.)
