Guess the google!

Hah… I just found this really neato game called Guess the Google! Basically it’s a flash game where your shown a collage of images and you have to guess the keyword one would have to type into google images search to return those images. It’s not horribly difficult but it’s a neat challenge. I played once and scored 240. The high score is 399, which I assume is the highest you can get. Anyway… it’s pretty neat. Check it out.

last night

So yeah…. last night was tons of fun. My friend Sam, his friend Adam and me all three decided to go out to a club and drink a little. We ended up going to the Red Iguana since none of us had ever been there before. We got there about 9pm and it was pretty damned dead, to say the least. Beers were $0.10 each for Miller High Life, but unfortunately I just can’t drink beer. I tried in vain to drink ONE but it just didn’t work out at all… Eventually they started giving away these “apple shots” for $1 each. Sam and I killed about 6 of those each… maybe 7, I dunno. Adam was drinking the whole time as well and had god knows how many Sex on the Beaches with 151 rum. To wrap up the night, Sam and I each had a drink called an “orange tic-tac”. It was Bacardi O Rum & Red Bull. It was seriously hella good… about 3 of those fuckers and I would have been feeling good. So about 11:30 or so we all decide to leave. Adam still has his keys and for some reason thinks he’s able to drive. He couldn’t even WALK straight… so we get the keys off him and Sam drives back to my house. The whole way up Broadway, Adam’s half hanging his head out the window and eventually just starts puking. Problem was, his head wasn’t all the way out the window so it was getting all over his truck. Fucking beautiful. So now he’s managed to puke all over the door panel of his truck and the road and whatnot… We go get my bike and backpack and stuff from my house and head back over to Sam’s…. on the way we end up racing another truck which didn’t stand a chance at all. For the record, Adam drives a 2002 Frontier with the supercharged V6. The Frontier we were racing was a standard 4cylinder one. We dusted them a few times and finally they pulled up and were like “what you got in that thing?” Sam was driving and informed them that it was the supercharged V6 version. Guess they didn’t feel so bad about getting their asses dusted after that. We pull off into some random neighborhood because Sam thought he saw a cop (we were all drunk, not good). Pulled into someone’s driveway and pissed, then took off back to his house. We get back to the house and Adam leaves… gets to the bottom of Sam’s subdivision and gets in a fucking wreck… DRUNK! Adam smartly gets out of the truck… Sam goes down there to assist and then calls my phone and has me send his brother down there. Of course now the cop can’t prove who was driving or anything, so nobody goes to jail. HAH! So apparently Sam drives Adam’s drunk ass and his truck back up to the house… Adam left at some point (no clue when) because he had to be at work at 6am. I sat online and talked to a few people and then eventually went to bed (again no clue what time). Luckily I didn’t have a hangover when I woke up. Just really bad cotton mouth and a need for some water. I woke up at like 10:00am… which is just asinine for me. That about sums up last night. I had tons of fun. Definitely worth doing again, but next time we’re having a DD. That was just plain idiotic that we all 3 got drunk and had no designated driver.

Kung Fu Hustle

So I didn’t get called in today and we decided to go see Kung Fu Hustle. Talk about a kickass movie. It was so completely random and wacky. The special effects were pretty fucking sweet and they threw in some pretty neato jokes too. The four of us were laughing our asses off through the whole movie. I think I want to go see it again sometime soon. It’s really that good. It’s directed by Stephen Chow who also did Shaolin Soccer. I haven’t seen that one yet and judging by how incredibly cool Kung Fu Hustle was, I think I’m going to have to rent it or something. Just don’t go to this movie expecting a serious Kung Fu movie. It’s meant to be fun and random… it definitely does a great job of that. Some of the characters in the movie are so unbelievably inept that you can’t help but bust a gut laughing at them trying to do stuff that they shouldn’t be doing. Anyway, enough about that. Anyone who doesn’t like this movie just doesn’t have a sense of humor. Enough said.

finally

ahh… finally my last night at work… two days off coming up. Surely I’ll find something interesting and worthwhile to do. I’m pretty worn out after a long week, that’s for sure but It’ll be worth it when the paycheck comes. At any rate, I’m sure I’ll sleep til some insane hour tomorrow and then wake up and go riding. On one hand, I really hope I don’t get called in on either of my off-days. On the other hand, it means more money. Decisions, decisions. I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get there.

whoa

hottest bitch ever, thank you for your time.

back again

So yeah… I’m back at work.. been here since 10am. My phone at work is acting whore-ish and stupid. Oh well, we’re dead and I just don’t care. I’m hungry, tired and I have some wicked gas. Oh, plus it’s 50 degrees with 30mph winds. Lovely. Somehow I’m still in a decent mood though. Go figure.

work work work

Yes, that’s all I do is work it seems. This chick at work has a sinus infection so now she’s managed to lose her voice. That means she’s not going to make it in for her 10am shift tomorrow. So guess who covers? ME! Granted I volunteered, but nobody else could or would do it. I left work early tonight @ 12am so I could at least get SOME sleep before I have to work in the morning. Problem is, I can’t go to fucking sleep. How gay! Because of the 10-6 shift tomorrow, that means I’m working my third double this week and I’ll be working 10am - 2am. I don’t think I’d do it if my job wasn’t so easy. Well, that and the fact that I’m saving to build up the road bike. I’m just kinda wondering if she’s going to be out any more shifts other than Saturday. If she’s out Sunday, I have no clue who’s going to cover for her. I’m not sure I’ll even be able to after all the hours I’ve already worked. I’m dragging ass as it is. Sadly, I have nothing better to do and the weather is going to be shitty. We’ll see what the boss says. I can’t wait to get this paycheck, though.

music

So I’m sitting here listening to Chronix Radio and they play “Passenger” by the Deftones (with Maynard James Keenan) and then “H” by Tool back to back. Kick fucking ass! I’d totally forgotten how much ass that song “Passenger” kicks, but yeah, it’s fucking amazing. Then again, I think Maynard is one of the best vocalists on earth today. Plus I’ve always liked the Deftones. :)

work too much

Yeah, I work way too fucking much. I just realized recently that I spend literally 12-14 hrs a day away from home. The only time I’m home is when I’m sleeping and messing around on the computer for short periods of time. I’m in the middle of a 17 hr shift as we speak after having worked an 8 hour shift that ended 7 hrs before this one started. Yeah… fucking crazyness. Even better, I get off work at 11am and go back into work at 6pm, then get off at 3am and have to go home. Joy. My paycheck is going to be nice and fat, though. Granted most of it is going towards my road bike but that’s the one thing I want more than anything right now. After all, it’s the reason I’m working these asinine hours. So I can get it built quicker. I want it like NOW because I’m not a very patient person. Alas, I have to buy parts as the money comes in. It’s kinda gay. I’m about $900 short of having it built right now, so I wish someone would just dump $1000 in my lap, ya know? That would make me very very happy. I know it’s asinine to most people that I’m more than willing to spend $1600+ to build a new road bike but won’t spend ANY amount of money on a car. I have no reason to own one, so therefore I won’t be buying one. I will most likely put a rack and panniers on my mountain bike so that I can ride it around town and be able to carry stuff home from the store. Obviously that will come AFTER the road bike, however. My road bike will most likely become my main bike and my MTB being my utilitarian bike to ride to the store and pick stuff up, ride when it’s yucky outside, or if I just feel like dicking around and jumping off stuff. Kinda like some people have their Corvette and their pickup truck. Same here, but with bikes. Eventually I plan on getting a full custom frameset from Independent Fabrications, but that will be further down the road (a year or so probably) after I’ve decided what I need/like/want in a road bike. I like the idea of a bike built specifically with what I want in mind and specifically to fit MY anatomy. Anyway, enough bike rambling for now.

hilarious

Ok, this is just plain funny… AOL Monitor Accused of Luring 15-Year-Old. Basically an AOL chatroom monitor is being accused of seducing a 15 year old girl a few years ago. He was 23 at the time. Gotta love AOL!
