Dancing, Gladiators, and Sideways hats

So, You think you can dance?

Somehow, by the graces of the American public, mark is still in this thing.  My three year old dances better than he does.  I mean come on – Will?  Will is a formally trained dancer who trains at one of the best schools in the country.  He has already been performing professionally.  But no – you mean to tell me that Will got booted before Mark?  This is absurd.  Why don’t we just let mohawk boy win it all with his jumping around.  I mean, his last solo looked like he was having a seizure.  Immediately afyter his solo, I tried his routine, and did it better than him.

Maybe I should audition for the show.

Then there is Gladiators.  Seriously?  people are watching this?  Lame.  The last thing they do is okay…. the obstacle course.  But these people are 150 pound wimps going against steroid munching hulks of hungry meat.  It’s embarrassing.  Anything the contestants win is by pure luck.  Or the gladiators let them win some.  Who knows, and really, who cares.  I would rather watch a 60 year old man in a wheelchair go up against the Bucs offensive line. It would definitely be more entertaining.  Or maybe watching Britney Spears in a cage match with Lindsay Lohan.  That would be entertaining.

You know what else entertains me?  People who don’t know how to wear hats.  To those of you reading this, let me tell you something – the brim of the hat is designed to keep the sun out of your eyes.  Unless you have a serious ear infection caused by the sun, spin that mo fo around to the front.  Come on.  I am starting to think that the angle of the hat is in direct proportion to the mental disability of the individual wearing it.

Then again, the same people also don’t seem to notice the greatness of the invention of the belt…

Dancing Shows, Christian Slater, and Christmas

Anyhoo, I go Flickr to finally work. I am going to have to go look for an ew photo type system thing.

So, you think you can dance? Well, so do the dancers on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Not a bad show, all in all, but come on – Gev needs to be brought back. But I am still pulling for victory for some of the contestants. I guess I will have to narrow that down in the weeks t come. I do like Twitch though. because he…twitches. Twitch. Cool Name.

Well, Christian Slater, as many of you know, is my current moral compass, and he has a new TV show coming out. In it, he stars as a guy who lives a double life, except he doesn’t even know he’s living it. So he’s a clumsy dad by day, and a double kick-ass agent by night. Well, if this isn’t representing the moral compass factor, I don’t know what is. I mean, what guy doesn’t want this life? To be a hero at night and shoot bad guys, break things, fight, etc? It sounds like every man’s dream, and also olny a role Christian can play. He is the voice of my generation.

So, Christmas is coming. Not really but I saw something I want so I figured I would post it here. You never know what could happen – maybe someone would even get it for me. (hint hint). I won’t go into gruesome details, or sob stories about needing this item. T be frankl, I just want it, and it is bad-ass. So here is the link:
click here!

I would prefer Chrome Red or Wine as the color option, but hey- i’ll take it regardless.

Anyway, I’m outta here for now, but I promise to write more frequently. Especially on the following topics:

- building a bat cave;
- building a lazy river around my house;
- Installing remote control lighting;
- my upcoming blues vacation;
- more random stuff.

As always, Rock on.

Flickr Sucks.

Just for the record, we have all kinbds of new photos to share with you.

Happy photos, sad photos, funny photos, cute photos.  But Flickr, in an OBVIOUS attempt to force its users to upgrade to a paying account, had our account “break” on us.  I cannot add new photos to my stupid photostream, because stupid Flickr won’t let me freakin’ delete any photos.  No deletion, no adding more.  It is a free account after all.

So what do I do?  I am now hoping someone can point me in the direction of a new free RSS enabled photo sharing system.  I am trired of FLickr not working.

Flickr Sucks.

I will never give in to your ways of tyranny!  Never!  You hear me Flickr?  NEVER!
