Two things

There are two things I can't really stand about Emeryville,CA...which is where i'm staying..


1) These things are supposed to be art work...













They are scary especially at night when there is a light beaming down on them...

2) The smell in the hallways at my office...It smells like an old lady's purse...I'm waiting for a pack of doublemint gum to appear in front of me

MNF

WOW!!!

Did anyone see that Monday Night Football Game!?!??! OMG It was probably the best game this season!

ONT to SF

Well im here in san fran looking at the beautiful view of the san francisco bridge and alcatraz...wasn't the birdman from there?

Anywho as I do when i fly, I sat by a window...looking from a plane, I realized how beautiful this Earth really is....we need to do more to take care of it...recycle..reduce...and reuse...and close the loop...remember that old commercial? haha

but like i was saying, I saw about three dry lake or river beds which kind of sucked..sucked because you know that one day probably not too long ago there was water there where the animals from the hills would come drink...not anymore..on a day like today where the sky is very clear, you can appreciate what this planet would look like with little or lower polution than what we put out...you could see for miles and miles...no smog lines...not factories polluting...nothing..just earth...i can only imagine what Ohio looks like...probably clear like this all the time...its no wonder why the Wrider is moving there...

Just take care of this Earth...we are messing it up pretty bad...

I'm really tired from an early flight so if this doesn't make sense sorry...oh and i did bring my chasity belt Birdman...and I have my keys attached like a janitor so they won't fall...

oh yeah..my hotel room is awesome...couch...flat screen tv...a view of the mountains..and a kick ass lounge....

Happy Thanksgiving All!

If you have nothing to do over this weekend may i suggest watching this movie..What Would Jesus Buy? It is a documentary about how Christmas has been turned into nothing but commercialism....they call it the Shopacolypse...Looks good...it is created from the same guy who created 30 Days, and Supersize Me.


Enjoy

oh Traffic...how do i hate thee

I left home early today to see if i can beat traffic; if there was any being Thanksgiving week...well..I left at 6:30 and I got to work at 8:30...yeah...didn't help...so since my week is filled with 4 hours of commuting each day, i thought I would post the following which comes from the Daily Bulletin here in the inland empire...


A Sig Alert, which is a warning broadcast by radio stations telling of unusual or hazardous traffic conditions, was named after the man who first coined the term, the late Loyd C. Sigmon.

Back in the '50s Sigmon was an executive at KMPC, a Southern California radio station.

In an effort to boost ratings for his station, Sigmon came up with a brilliant idea. He called the LAPD and asked them to telephone the radio station every time there was a significant traffic jam so that KMPC could broadcast the information to its listeners.

The LAPD informed Sigmon that their officers were far too busy doing things like catching bad guys and trying to keep order in a county of a few million people to stop and call a radio station every time there was a traffic tie-up. So Sigmon came up with a better plan. He proposed that the radio station could install a receiver that would be linked directly to the police.

Whenever a significant accident occurred, a signal could be sent from the police station that would allow the radio engineer to tap directly into police broadcasts of the traffic problem.

William H. Parker, the chief of police at the time, finally acquiesced and allowed the receiver to be set up, but only on the condition that all radio stations that were interested in broadcasting the alerts had access to them.

So while Sigmon did not gain the competitive advantage that he had hoped to achieve for his radio station, his system was successfully implemented in 1955. A skeptical Chief Parker was quoted as saying, "We're going to name this damn thing `Sig Alert."'

Sig Alerts, which are unique to Southern California, are now transmitted electronically through computer networks and are administered by the California Highway Patrol. The CHP will launch a Sig Alert if there is any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more, as opposed to a planned event like road construction.

The next time an overturned big rig or three-car collision ruins your freeway drive and pushes your stress levels to the boiling point, you might just want to head down to the pier in Santa Monica where you can slam your car into another car without having to worry about causing a traffic jam.

The Pacific Park bumper car ride is aptly named "The Sig Alert."

Re-Post

Sorry...I had to repost this



i have to say i left san fran on a sad note....if you havent heard there was a oil spill in the sf harbor area as a cargo ship crashed into the golden gate bridge sending over 50,000 gallons of oil into the water...the oil started drifting towards the area where my office was at and a boat came with these flotation devices to capture the oil...not more than 100 yards away from this were about 100 ducks and birds just kicking back in the water not knowing that danger and death were close. you see once the oil gets on the birds wings...they are unable to fly and eventually drown...so sad...

to go along with the sadness of the oil spill, i was reading my beatles book that i purchased while in SF...in it was a story of how the song Octopus Garden came to be. before reading this story, i always liked this song but just thought it was one of their acid trip dreams...anywho it is a real story as told by ringo. ringo was out on a fishing trip one day when the captain asked him if he wanted to have some octopus...ringo turned it down but the captain went onto a story about how an octopus lives its life day to day swimming along the bottom of the oceans floor collecting up shiny objects and stones to build a garden...crazy huh? ringo thought it was the happiest story he ever heard and thought to write a song about it...

Song of the Day..Octopus Garden - Beatles


I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade
He'd let us in, knows where we've been
In his octopus' garden in the shade

I'd ask my friends to come and see
An octopus' garden with me
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade.

We would be warm below the storm
In our little hideaway beneath the waves
Resting our head on the sea bed
In an octopus' garden near a cave

We would sing and dance around
because we know we can't be found
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden in the shade

We would shout and swim about
The coral that lies beneath the waves
(Lies beneath the ocean waves)
Oh what joy for every girl and boy
Knowing they're happy and they're safe
(Happy and they're safe)

We would be so happy you and me
No one there to tell us what to do
I'd like to be under the sea
In an octopus' garden with you.

Black Friday plus KROQ predictions

Not today...but the day after Thanksgiving when Christmas items should be on store shelves and not after Halloween!

Anywho, those interested in what specials will be happening can check out this site Black Friday

Be careful when you go shopping though because according to the FBI, Al Qaeda May Strike U.S. Shopping Malls in LA, Chicago.

I am saving money to buy a new house next year so many peoples christmas presents will be baked goods and a dvd with favorite cartoons and concerts courtesy of you tube. I found a program that downloads you tube videos to avi files allowing you to burn onto a watchable dvd. Southern Wolf and classic Beatles anyone?

Another sign Christmas is coming fast, KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas is going to be announced Friday. I haven't put much thought to who is playing because music has simply sucked this year...if i had to guess i would guess the following:

Night One

NIN
Tool
Serj Tankian
Kid Rock
Bad Religion
Avenged Sevenfold (New song sucks)
Jon Davis (Acoustic / Solo)
Social Distortion


Night Two

The Killers
The Mars Volta
Angels and Airwaves
Daft Punk
Feist
Paramore
Jimmy Eat World
Spoon

Im probably way off...but F it

Last night in San Fran

Good bye San Fran...it was nice to know you for a week...

Today I went to Borders and picked up a copy of "Let it Be" a book about the Beatles album with the same name. So far i have read 5 pages and its already interesting..

I noticed that black people complain a lot up here...I'm not one to complain about complainers, but when people come in to complain about a meal that they had yesterday, really...is that necessary? By the looks of things it looked like they went back for seconds. I had Denny's breakfast this morning and one lady was complaining about some waitress from last nights shift saying that her food was cold...come on now...then today at a hot dog stand by my hotel, another lady was complaining because she phoned in a combo order yesterday and then decided she didn't want the drink with the combo...well...the guy who worked there charged her for the dog and fries which came out more than the combo somehow...she came back to complain about the 20 cent difference...since the manager wasn't in today or yesterday, she told the poor teen behind the counter that shes gonna come chew the managers ass out tomorrow...shes waisted more that 20 cents in gas...or bus pass...or time walking...this place is pretty ghetto and i cant wait to get back home..

Hey There!

Ahhh...My first week at the new job is almost complete and I have to say...I wish I was back at the M....Sike!

Man I love my new job...The people and atmosphere is so different than the M (not you Birdman). Damn it is nice to finally feel respected and feel like an adult rather than a daycare center where someone is watching over you the entire time you are working. My Manager was down from San Fran for a training course down here, came in and shook my hand...Hell he wanted to take a few of us out to dinner on my first day...My former teacher who is now my Director is freakin happy to see me there working cause he knows the potential that I can bring. He knows my interest for this field. I am also getting put through some advanced forensic courses, as well as a certification that is recognized around the world.

Free Coffee...Arrowhead water....and popcorn....

Get this...I felt guilty for leaving at 5:15pm...why...because I am so used to people saying are you leaving already!?!? Stick around for a 6pm deployment..No more of those days...and when I do have to stay super late...thats fine cause I really enjoy doing this work.

If you love what you do...you will never have to work 1 day in your life...

Take care

Saturday, September 22, 2007

Bye M it was nice to know you

Yesterday was my last day at the Merc. I had lunch with Birdman and a few others at JoJo's which was a spot we went to quite a bit. It was a nice time there followed by Happy Hour at the Yardhouse later in the evening. I will miss a great deal of the workers I worked with but will not miss the complaints and stress of the job.

Hopefully we will all keep in touch.

Vacation

I am off on a cruise to Cabo San Lucas for a week. See you soon

Friday, September 07, 2007

My Move

so I stayed away from writing mainly because I have been so swamped with work and other problems outside of work.

as some of you know I have not been the happiest camper "there". I finally got a nibble from a company in Pasadena to come in to be their Computer Forensics Lab Technician. The Director of the group, who was also my Forensics Teacher at Cal State Fullerton, highly recommended me for the position as he has seen my forensic skills. The offer was made on Wednesday and I put my two weeks notice "there". My supervisor seemed someone shocked but doesn't really to mind me leaving as there are already two other people joining my former group. I learned a lot while I was "there", but the hours were brutal, we got the blame for everything that went wrong, our suggestions for improvement were not taken into consideration, and the possibility for advancement was not there...I really lost my passion for Information Technology over the past year...

I know that working in Forensics will bring that passion back as it is Technology mixed with investigative work.

I will miss hanging out with the Birdman as he understood my humor as well as the others who I enjoyed working with. For those who know her, I will be working literally 1 block away from D$ aka D-Nasty aka Denyse who was also "there" at one time.

Enjoy

My Food Network Star

Where do I begin....My pick to win The Next Food Network Star on the Food Network Channel was kicked off last night. My boy JAG, the boriqua was let go after he withdrew himself from the final two spot in the competition AFTER Amy was already let go. There were rumors circulating throughout the Internet that JAG did not serve in Afghanistan and that he didn't graduate Culinary School as he had stated. He never really wanted to talk about his past and that is probably why. Food Network tried to give him a chance at a press conference to reveal his hidings but he didn't. F.N. eventually called JAG in for a meeting where JAG revealed the truth. I was disappointed as I wanted him to win, but when he lied about being in the service when so many of our Soliders are dying, that is just wrong. So what happened? Amy came back and is competing against Rory aka Gumby...she has huge gums...My pick has switched from the caribeaner to the Gourmet Next Door Amy....Good luck girl

Tater Tot Fridays?

I stayed at home today still trying to fight this cold I have had...its horrible and I've taken so many pills to combat it....


Well for those fans of Beans blog back in the day I have a treat for you. Today Bean sent me a picture of his beloved Tater Tot playing in his yard and here it is....




Now compare him to my wife and I's bulldog Burbank as he tries to protect his lemon

Happy weekend to you all!

Irons

Do you ever notice how when you use someone else iron to iron your clothes, their iron is a hell of a lot hotter and better than yours. So what do you do? You go out and buy that iron only to be bummed when it still doesn't get as hot as theirs.

Here is a picture of my Food Network Crush Giada

My 90th Post

On this nice humid day in Southern California, my 90th post has came upon us....It could have been more but I am just lazy...

This post is dedicated to the Birdman who is constantly making fun of my Carribeanerness.

I am a huge fan of the food network and yes I love to cook. In fact my next house is going to have a Viking Stove with a grill...

Well one of my favorite shows on the Food Network is called unwrapped. Last nights episode was dedicated to spicy things and one of those on the list was Beans. Refried Beans in fact. My wife always gets on my case because I love me the Rosarita Refried Beans.


In the episode it showed how the makers of the beans purchase the pinto beans, rinse them out to get any rocks out of the batch and then slowly cook them. Then then put them into this huge masher and actually have a level of mashing that they do! Then then run the mashed beans from a machine into another which puts the beans into a can and seals them up. The canned beans are then put into a heater type compression machine that gives the beans a 7 year shelf life! That's freakin incredible. 7 years!

Watch unwrapped as well as The Next Food Network Star. My pick JAG is still in the final 3 woohoo!

Flashback

Do you remember that when it first aired, it only had Zach, Screech, and Lisa and it was set in Indiana....yeah like so many people want to see a bunch of teens in Indiana...Anywho somehow they switched schools and Zach Lisa, and Screech all ended up in Pacific Palisades at Bayside High School...

Just an update

The Chris Benoit tribute was done before it was revealed he killed his family. Had WWE known prior that he killed them, they would have not aired the tribute. Today Vince McMahon made an appearance on TV apologizing for the tribute and it would be the last time Benoits name would be mentioned...

What did you do Benoit....

I used to be a huge wrestling fan and even did behind the scene wrestling news for a website which included me being a co-host of a weekly nationwide radio show. We actually interviewed Chris Benoit a few years back and he was one of the nicest guests we ever had. Something obviously made Chris Benoit snap to kill his wife and child then commit suicide. I'm not sure what it was but he knew what he was going to do. If you watched the tribute show on RAW last night (before it was announced Murder-Suicide), you will see that Chavo Guerrero (nephew of the late Eddie Guerrero) mentions that before Chris Benoit left to go aid his "ill" family, he told Chavo, "I love you Chavo". This to me seemed like it was a final farewell. Why would he tell Chavo that? I told my wife that I bet you it was Benoit who killed his wife and kid then himself. Sure enough an hour later I read the headlines and thats what it was.

The Distict Attorney for Fayetteville county also mentioned in a briefing that the killings were a little bizarre. Not sure what this means either...

WWE.COM is also already taking down the merchandise of Chris Benoit and the tributes are sure to come down quickly as well.

They're Back

Mile-wide UFO' spotted by British airline pilot
thisislondon.co.uk ^ | London, Friday 22.06.07 | thisislondon.co.uk


Posted on 06/22/2007 7:27:08 AM PDT by Havok


One of the largest UFOs ever seen has been observed by the crew and passengers of an airliner over the Channel Islands.

An official air-miss report on the incident several weeks ago appears in Pilot magazine.

Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, flying close to Alderney first spotted the object, described as "a cigar-shaped brilliant white light".

Scroll down for more

Aurigny Airlines captain Ray Bowyer, 50, described what he thought to be a UFO as 'a cigar-shaped brilliant white light', similar to the image supplied by Dennis Plunket of the British Flying Saucer bureau

As the plane got closer the captain viewed it through binoculars and said:

"It was a very sharp, thin yellow object with a green area. It was 2,000ft up and stationary. I thought it was about 10 miles away, although I later realised it was approximately 40 miles from us. At first, I thought it was the size of a [Boeing] 737.

"But it must have been much bigger because of how far away it was. It could have been as much as a mile wide."

Continuing his approach to Guernsey, Bowyer then spied a "second identical object further to the west".

He said: "It was exactly the same but looked smaller because it was further away. It was closer to Guernsey. I can't explain it. This was clearly visual for about nine minutes.

"I'm certainly not saying that it was something of another world. All I'm saying is that I have never seen anything like it before in all my years of flying."

The sightings were confirmed by passengers Kate and John Russell. John, 74, said "I saw an orange light. It was like an elongated oval".

The sightings were also confirmed by an unnamed pilot with the Blue Islands airline.

The Civil Aviation Authority safety notice states that a Tri-Lander aircraft flying close to Alderney spotted the object.

"Certain parts of the report have not been published. I cannot say why," said a senior CAA source.

Earlier this year however, the MOD declared its intentions to open its UFO files to the public.

Rescue Me...Not

I am not a beer drinker but I know most of you are so I thought I would post this funny and true story I came across that took place in Australia:


Emergency workers have come to the rescue of a town cut off by floodwaters in true Antipodean style - by delivering a large consignment of beer by boat.


Floodwaters have devastated the Hunter Valley wine-growing region


The tiny town of Hinton, in the Hunter Valley wine-growing region, has been surrounded for five days by the floodwaters that have devastated parts of New South Wales after storms and torrential rain at the weekend.

The murky brown water, the authorities said, contained sewage and other pollutants, but its 400 inhabitants were more worried about a lack of beer.

A plentiful supply was required to celebrate a much-anticipated rugby league match between New South Wales and Queensland yesterday.

For days State Emergency Service volunteers had been ferrying staples such as bread and milk to the stranded town in flat-bottomed boats.

Yesterday, they added 12 kegs and 36 cartons of beer to their cargo.

"They'll be able to watch the game and have a cold one tonight," said Philip Campbell, a SES spokesman. The local watering hole, the Victoria Hotel, was in danger of becoming a real-life version of one of Australia's best known ballads, The Pub With No Beer. The song, by the late country singer Slim Dusty, laments that "there's nothing so lonesome, so morbid or drear, than to stand in a bar of a pub with no beer".




Song of the day and how I have been feeling for oh...two weeks....

The Fragile-Nine Inch Nails

she shines
in a world full of ugliness
she matters when everything is meaningless

fragile
she doesn't see her beauty
she tries to get away
sometimes
it's just that nothing seems worth saving
i can't watch her slip away

i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart


she reads the minds of all the people as they pass her by
hoping someone can see
if i could fix myseld i'd-
but it's too late for me

i wont let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart
i won't let you fall apart

we'll find the perfect place to go where we can run and hide
i'll build a wall and we can keep them on the other side
...but they keep waiting
...and picking...

it's something i have to do
i was there, too
before everyhting else
i was like you

Sopranos Finale....My Take

Soprano's Finale


Well if you haven't seen the Series Finale of the Soprano's don't read this entry.



















From what I've been hearing and reading, many people were disappointed with the way the Soprano's ended. Now the reason they were disappointed was because they can't follow a series or read deeper into what was shown to them.

The Soprano's got their revenge on Phil at a Gas Station where he was making calls to his family members from. What was great about this scene was that it wack came from no where. Then the SUV Phil came in ran over his head. There were two kids inside the vehicle and when Phil got ran over and their faces were like oh oh.

Sil...Poor Sil....one of my favorite characters is still in a coma. He never came out of it.

The final scene ends with Tony at a cafe listening to a jukebox. He flips through a few songs and finally settles on one. At this point my heart is racing as I know it is the final scene and there is about 4 minutes left before it ends. Tony keeps looking up (At this point we are looking through Tony's eyes)...Is someone going to wack him? A few people walk through the cafe doors. Carmella finally walks in and sits with Tony. Tony looks up...AJ walks through the door. Finally we go to an outside view and the adorable Meadow is trying to parallel park her car. I'm waiting for someone to come wack her. She tries about 4 times finally getting it right....Tony looks around the cafe. There is a weird guy looking at him with a USA cap on...The guy gets up and starts walking towards Tony but enters the bathroom..Camera goes outside Meadow is running across the street...I start seeing a car light coming towards her...NO!! Meadow is going to get run over...Well she doesn't...She opens the door...Camera points to Tony and Tony looks up...We are looking through his eyes again when..........Black......Black screen. I scramble for my remote and flip it to another channel. Other channels still work WTF!! I turn back and the credits are on. What happened?

Well a few episodes back Tony was talking to Bobby and Tony asks him something along the lines of how do you know when you've been wacked. Bobby answers him with...it just turns Black. So if you relate this with the Black screen mentioned about...Tony was wacked.

Now why didn't they show it? Well because a regular writer would just show him getting wacked with blood everywhere. A good writer will tie in other episodes and show some sort of symbolism of death.

Bada Bing Bada Boom that is the Sopranos ending.

Bo knows....Apologies??

I heard about this story a while back where the Daily Bulletin here in So Cal posted a news article about former Baseball and Football star Bo Jackson....Remember the Bo Knows commericals? Yeah I barely do either, but here is the apology for the

Public Apology to Bo Jackson

On behalf of the California Newspapers Partnership, MediaNews Group, Inc., and MediaNews Interactive, Inc., we would like to reiterate our previous unconditional apology to Mr. Bo Jackson and his family for the article titled "Forum Tackles the Dangers of Steroid Use" that appeared in both the print and online versions of the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on March 24, 2005.

The article quoted a speaker who stated that "Bo Jackson lost his hip because of anabolic abuse." Because the reporter did not obtain corroborating evidence to support the statement, we fully retract this quote and deeply regret and apologize for any distress this may have caused to Mr. Jackson, his family, or friends. Mr. Jackson is one of the finest athletes of the past two decades, and we apologize if the article served in any way to call into question his athletic accomplishments throughout his career





**My Comment.....Bo should be happy anyone is talking about him anymore even if it is falsified information...Bo doesn't know publicity

Some crackers for my Whine (spelled intentionally wrong)

Due to work and the horrible communications that goes one at the M, when I go to sleep tonight, I will have been up a total of 41 hours straight. Why? Because I didn't want to miss a deploy that kept being pushed back and back and back from 6pm to 2am and finally at 6:00am I gave up on waiting and went to lay down; only to realize the sun was rising and I can't sleep when it the sun is out.

To those who are curious as to why I didn't go to sleep and let the phone wake me up...I would have probably received crap if I missed the call had i slept throught the ringing of my phone which I did before and is why I stayed up.

Ohh...Does anyone at the M care? Why yes they do...They cared that I didn't come in until 12 noon today and that 4 hours of productive time was lost.

Yup...Hope I don't offend anyone that has been at the M for a long long time but life at the M in my group BLOWS

WTF Smells

Alright...so I start smelling this odd smell in my car similar to that of a rotting carcus (probably spelled that wrong). At first I thought, ok its just this bag of Jack in the Box that I forgot to take out...I took the bag out and the smell continued, in fact it got worse. So I searched my car and the backseat area smelled worse. Looked around...nothing...I open up my trunk and it reeks worse in there. I have my car wash towel in there, (no birdman just because I'm hispanic doesn't mean I work at the car wash). I thought the towel possibly had mildew or something on there from being wet and in an enclosed area. Smelled the towel..not it...I find a packet of Round Table Parmeasan Cheese that is kind of damp...more than likely from the towel...smelled it..YES I found it.....Not so fast Audio...The smell continues to get worse as I drive home. I start wondering if I smelled like my car all day like that one Seinfeld episode where the B.O. stayed with Jerry. The Wife and I head to the store after I get home and she says your cars smells!! We roll all the windows down and it still smells! Finally after we get home I tell her I am looking in my trunk one more time....well...in the very back of my trunk, pressed up against the back seat was a dead rat.......just kidding....but pressed up against my back seat was a pound and a half of hamburger meat that I bought at the store on Monday. It was all greenish brown and I practically heaved when I saw it. What's worse was inside the bag that the meat was in were my Cheese Biscuit packet that I was soooo looking forward to eating...


oh bother

The Killers had to back out of the KROQ Weenie Roast as well as other shows at Red Rock due to Brandon Flowers having a throat condition. I guess suckin too much Kack at his record studio's to whore out their record is finally taking a toll...

Social D





Social Distortion (Social D) has came out with a new tune called Far Behind. The song seems to be talking about leaving old friends behind. I'm not Mike Ness so I'm not sure if he means Drugs, or does he really mean friends. Whatever the case is I love the song. It does have a bit of a more pop chorus line but its a feel good track. Birdman doesn't like the chorus though and for that I give you a big BOOOOOOOO! I can't wait to see them some around so cal in a small tour.

This morning I heard Bean talk about a movie called King of Kong, a documentary on the guy who scored the highest points ever in a Donkey Kong game. For some reason it sounded fascinating so I looked into it and there really is a movie. Unfortunatly I have to work this weekend and probably next so I won't be able to see this flick for a few weeks but I'm going to.

Thank you for the feedback on Winnie the Pooh. The response was so tremendous I thought I would treat you with a Winnie the Pooh joke.


What do you call Winnie the Pooh's Toes?

If you know spanish you would have got the joke. If you don't know spanish, move to America where you can learn it.

Oh Bother

Ya know...I was having an interesting conversation with my wife the other night. I brought up Winnie the Pooh and why the sign above his door says Mr. Sanders. Well it all led to why Winnie say's "Oh Bother". She mentioned that he is actually trying to say, "Oh Brother". We went back and forth on this topic with no apparent victor.

My argument: He really is saying and meaning, "Oh Bother" because something is bothering him.

She says Oh Brother.

What do you think?

And what it could have been

Ahhhh...i hate today

Weekend was partially good...I went to a Michael Douglas Celebrity Golf Tournament in Ranchos Palos Verde. Nice day out there and chatted it up a bit with Mark Wahlberg and Alice Cooper who were really cool. They guy that was probably the coolest though was Kenny Fn G. He is also an awesome golfer. Samuel L Jackson was a bit of a dick. The hottest of the hot Catherine Zeta-Jones was playing as well. She was wearing white pants and you know what they say about women who wear white pants....Capped off the end of the day by eating at the best damn restaurant in LA, El Tapyac. Located in East Los Angeles, it is seriously awesome mexican food.

Came home and went downhill from there. I just don't understand women....

Woke up too damn early, nothing exciting seemed to happen at Coachella from what I have read and heard. Opened up my car tags only to find that they were not car tags at all and in fact was a bill for $1.00. Yes ONE Dollar. My tags expire today so im freaking out. I guess I will have to run to the DMV tomorrow to fix things.

On my way to work and there is a dumb ass in Carbon Canyon stopping at every intersection to allow a car to cross. Come on! I can see every 5 intersections but not every single one. Total BS. ARGH!


Weenie Roast lineup gets announced. No NINE-INCH-NAILS, but instead get probably my two most hated bands Linkin Park and The Killers. The other line up includes Korn who will play the same boring set as the last 9 times ive seen them...and these following acts who are actually awesome....

Interpol
The Bravery
Social Distortion
Bad Religion
Tim Armstrong

I forget the rest...but no NIN...no Tool...

My life is always full of up and downs but lately seems more like a downward spiral

Zero Sum - Year Zero - NIN -

They're starting to open up the sky
They're starting to reach down through
And it feels like we're living in that split-second
Of a car crash
And time is slowing down
And if we only had a little more time
And this time
Is all there is
Do you remember the time we
And all the times we
And should have
And were going to
I know
And I know you remember
How we could justify it all
And we knew better
In our hearts we knew better
And we told ourselves it didn't matter
And we chose to continue
And none of that matters anymore
In the hour of our twilight
And soon it will be all said and done
And we will all be back together as one
If we will continue at all

Shame on us
Doomed from the start
May God have mercy
On our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we've done
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones

And you never get away
And you never get to take the easy way
And all of this is a consequence
Brought on by our own hand
If you believe in that sort of thing
And did you ever really find
When you closed your eyes
Any place that was still
And at peace
And I guess I just wanted to tell you
As the light starts to fade
That you are the reason
That I am not afraid
And I guess I just wanted to mention
As the heavens will fall
We will be together soon if we
Will be anything at all

Shame on us
Doomed from the start
May God have mercy
On our dirty little hearts
Shame on us
For all we've done
And all we ever were
Just zeros and ones

I Hate the KILLERS!

ok..for sometime now I have disliked the Killers but not I can't stand them. After reading an interview with the Killers in Spin Magazine, Brandon Flowers is the cockiest mofo on the planet. The fame that the Killers have had simply went to his head. Hell 3 years ago they were playing gigs at a bar at the South by Southwest festival and now they are headling huge festivals...Ok Props for that but seriously, for Brandon Flowers say, "There are bands that are ok, bands that are good, and bands that are great, guess which one the Killers are in?" And, making comments on Panic at the Disco! and Fallout Boy saying he would like to beat the death out of those groups is uncalled for. While I have not been the biggest supporter of FOB, that is just wrong. Brandon also mentioned that Sam's Town is the greatest album released in the past 20 years. Come on...the album was just ok...it wasn't as good as their first album Hot Fuss...should have been called Hot Puss cause Flowers is a big puss. And for their fued with the Bravery. Brandon says the Bravery is riding on the coat tails of the killers copying their style. BRANDON....look at The Strokes, White Stripes, The Vines...whose coat tails are you riding? The Strokes are a WAY better band than yours and their heads aren't as far up their ass as yours is. I dispise your group now and hope they fall flat on its face...Your stupid little old western cowboy gimmick just isn't working either so you can just drop that.

Weenie Roast 2007

Its that time of year for the KROQ Weenie Roast....Lineup will be announced soon so I thought I would do my predictions:

Linkin Park- Took out Tool and went with Grime's guess...which is more than likely accurate

NIN- New Album...Secret Shows...Weenie Roast..Best Album of 07 easily

Incubus- New Album...Shows in June get cancelled probably to play Weenie Roast

Chris Cornell Solo- New Album...was in KROQ studios

Muse-Awesome band that doesn't get enough recognition

Silversun Pickups- Lots of radio play..new album

The Bravery - New Album...Tour


This is the only guess I have....please add some more guesses if you any

Why??

I was at the "M" where the Birdman works and I was working on an issue I got called over for. Well, I happened to glance out the window and at the fancy hotel next door there were two women who were getting ready to suntan next to the pool.

What came to my mind then has possibly jumped into yours before....

Why do people insist on tanning by the pool? Is the sun warmer by the pool? Will you not get as tanned while tanning on the grass or driveway?

Why people? Why?

Gotta Love Redneck Weekend

It was Redneck weekend on Comedy Central this past Sunday and I watched a good portion of it.

The Comedy Central Roast of Jeff Foxworthy- Hilarious...especially Larry the Cableguy..Just looking at him makes you laugh..Mostly everyone was making fun of The Jeff Foxworthy Show from back in the days that only lasted 1 season...I don't remember the other jokes.

Jeff Foxworthy in: Totally Committed- You might be a redneck if you go to a Family Reunion looking for a date...Niiiiice


The Blue Collar Comedy Tour Starring: Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, Ron White, and Bill Engvall. Funny stuff ending with the comics making fun of each others old photographs...One photo had Larry the Cable guy laying in bed with shorts on and a sheep looking scared in the bed next to him.

The Ron White Comedy Central Special: Didn't get to watch this special but saw the commercials..."When I was growing up all the cool kids had a Member's Only jacket". "Not me, I had an everyone is invited jacket".

And Finally, you can't have a redneck weekend without the least funniest movie of all time, Joe Dirt....

I so want to see Jeff Foxworthy do stand up but I'm afraid i'd be take the brunt of all jokes related to hispanics...or hispanics that look arabic

I'm skeedattling off now y'all

UFO Stories OPEN to the Public

France opens UFO files to public

Molly Moore in Paris
March 24, 2007

ON AN August day in 1967, two children tending their family's cows outside a French village reported seeing "four small black beings" fly from the ground and slip headfirst into a sphere that shot skyward in a flash of light and trail of sulfuric odours.

The alleged extraterrestrial sighting, described by the French government as "one of the most astonishing observed in France", is among 1600 UFO case files spanning the past 50 years that the country's space agency opened to the public for the first time on Thursday.

The decision by the National Centre for Space Studies to dump more than 100,000 pages of witness testimony, photos, film footage and audio tapes from its secret UFO archives onto its internet site, www.cnes.fr, for worldwide viewing is an unprecedented move among Western countries. Most consider such records matters of national security.

Within three hours of the first cases being posted on Thursday, the agency's web server crashed, overwhelmed by viewers seeking the first glimpses of the material. Over the next several months the agency will post it to enhance scientific research seeking to explain what the French Government calls "unexplained aerospace phenomena".

"The data we are releasing doesn't demonstrate the presence of extraterrestrial beings," said Jacques Patenet, head of the Group for the Study and Information on Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena, the agency's UFO investigative team. "But it doesn't demonstrate the impossibility of such presence either. The questions remain open."

He said that among the 1600 cases to be opened to the public, "a few dozen are very intriguing and can be called UFOs".

Most of the cases were found to be caused by atmospheric anomalies or mistaken perception of such things as aircraft lights, or to be hoaxes.

In the case of the two children, they said the UFO left "a strong sulfur odour after departure". They raced home in tears and their father summoned police who "noted the sulfur odour and the dried grass at the reported place where the sphere took off", the report said.

The investigators were impressed by the uniformity of detail provided by the children and other witnesses. "No rational explanation has been given to date of this exceptional meeting," the investigation concluded.

Rosetta Stoned

Alrighty, Then... Picture This If You Will...

10 to 2am, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need-to-know" post, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "Chosen People" thingy, when a flaming stealth banana split the sky, like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... "Holy fucking shit..."
(Holy fucking shit... Holy fucking shit... Holy fucking shit...)

Then the X-Files being, looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa, did a slow-mo Matrix descent outta the butt end of the banana vessel, and hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw...... and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip, and all I could think was: "I hope Uncle Martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin' pants."

So light in his way, like an apparition, that he had me crying out:

"Fuck me, it's gotta be the Deadhead Chemistry! The blotter got right on top of me, got me seein' E-muthafuckin'-T!!!"
And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said, "You...... are the Chosen One, the One who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not."

Me. The Chosen One? They chose me!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school!

You'd better... you'd better... you'd better... you'd better listen.

Then he looked right through me with somniferous almond eyes. Don't even know what that means, must remember to write it down. This is so real, like the time Dave floated away. See, my heart is pounding, 'coz this shit never happens to me.

I can't breathe right now! It was so real, like I woke up in Wonderland. All sorta terrifying, I don't wanna be all alone while I tell this story. And can anyone tell me, why y'all sound like Peanuts parents? Will I ever be coming down? This is so real. Finally, it's my lucky day. See, my heart is racing, 'coz this shit never happens to me. I can't breathe right now!

You believe me, don't you? Please believe what I've just said! See, the Dead ain't touring, and this wasn't all in my head. See, they took me by the hand and invited me right in. Then they showed me something I don't even know where to begin.

Strapped down to my bed.
Feet cold, eyes red.
I'm out of my head.
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, shit the bed.

Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position. Such a heavy burden now to be the One. Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see. But I forgot my pen. Shit the bed again... Typical.

Strapped down to my bed.
Feet cold, eyes red.
I'm out of my head.
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Sunkist, Sudafed, Gyroscopes and infrared won't help, I'm brain dead.
Can't remember what they said.
God damn, shit the bed.

I can't remember what they said to me. Can't remember what they said to make me out to be the hero. Can't remember what they said................... Bob, help me! Can't remember what they said........ We don't know, and we won't know. GOD DAMN, SHIT THE BED!!!

In a Borat Voice....Very Nice

As I predicted...Rage Against the Machine is playing more than their Coachella Festival date. They are headlining the Rok Out Music Festival (The festival is rok not rock) in San Bernardino at the National Orange Show. The Date August 11th with ticket on sale date being March 31st. The Wu-Tang Clan is also playing on the bill....Last years Rok Out Festival was headlined my Prodigy.

Not so Nice was the Reno 911:Miami movie. It was the worst movie I have EVER seen. I thought the movie would be bad but in a bad good way....so bad it was actually good like Beerfest and Super Troopers. Reno 911 lasted literally 65 minutes. My cousin and I walked in at 2:40...the movie finished at 3:45...seriously..don't see this movie...don't even rent it...in fact...don't even see the film debut on Comedy Central....it sucks

The movie that doesn't look like its going to suck is Zodiac...as some of you may know...I am a HUGE true horror film fan. The Zodiac killer began killer couples in the San Francisco area back in the 60's or 70's...After killing his victims he would make a call to the Police (Not the band) and tell them there is a murder at so and so location and oh by the way I killed them....he would then send cryptographic messages to the police...some of the letters have yet to been decrypted...The Zodiac killer has not been caught but as quickly as he started killing people...he stopped...read about Zodiac if you get a chance.

Itch to Bitch

Ya know, my foot was itching really bad on the way to work the other day...Yes I took a shower...but it was one of those itches that felt like it was coming from inside my foot. I took my shoe off and started scratching with my other foot....all this while I was driving on the 57 south ( a really busy freeway) I swear that damn itch itched for 30 minutes or so. Finally I pull off the 57 and enter my favorite donut shop, Donut Star. As I finally parked and was just about to reach down to scratch the hell out of the itch, the itch went away. That would have been a damn good scratch too...freakin itch teased me until I finally had a chance to wipe it out and it ran with its tail between its leg!

Death to the Itch bitches

ARGH!

Ok....

What does the Andy Griffith show and The Cosby show have in common....

Answer:

They are television shows that have NOTHING to do with the characters played on the show!

Andy Griffith...This show aired for about 8 years during the 60's and was about a Sheriff named Andy TAYLOR! This show should have been called the Andy Taylor Show! F*ckin sh#t man...

The Cosby show...First off...Lisa Bonet back in the day ::drools::: Now she's bald and ugly..but anywho...The Cosby Show was about a character named Heathcliff HUXTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Name a show after the freakin characters PLEASE!!!! Follow in the footsteps of Three's Company...When that show had Janet and Teri move on and it was Jack and that HOT airline stewardess, the show was named Two's a Crowd...Why?? Because Three's Company didn't make sense!!!

7-up for me and you.

Popcorn

Have you ever popped microwave popcorn and found those kernals at the bottom of the bag that never seem to pop. Well the answer to that is because as the popcorn bag begins its dive to the big zero on the countdown clock the bag begins to cool. That and the fact that the oil in the bag has pretty much been dispersed to the popped kernals, there is nothing really going inside the bag to allow all the kernals to pop. So don't stick your bag back in the microwave to finish popping the kernals, you will end up burning the corn you already popped.

Enjoy!

Odd Dreams

I have had to very weird dreams in the past two nights...

Dream 1. I had a pet Bull...not a pitbull..a pet bull...He had full horns and would run around like a guarddog in my backyard...the only time he was calm was when he was around me.

Dream 2. I was on a bobsled team. I could clearly see the track and was telling my partner..duck down more...it will increase our speed.


Any thoughts...

Coachella

Birdman....don't ever doubt me again...All others...when it comes to music and concerts please trust me in what my predictions are.

Last week I sent a message to Birdman stating that Rage Against the Machine was offered 1.5 Million dollars to play at the 2007 Coachella Art and Music festival. He didn't believe it would happen.

Today....KROQ announced that Rage Against the Machine has reunited and will be playing at Coachella on night number 3 which is April 29th. This reunion has been 6 years in the making as they broke up in late 2000 or early 2001. There has been wide speculation as to why Audioslave raced to release their latest record "Revelations". From what I have been able to gather they had a 3 record contract and wanted to complete their obligations before moving on to other projects. Chris Cornell has been wanting to do a solo project for sometime now and well the other members reformed Rage.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can't wait.

The other two Coachella dates will be headlined by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Bjork.

Top 5 Albums of 2006

Sorry for the delay...Have been pretty busy....but here it is

Audioslave's Top 5 CD picks of the year

Surprisingly enough, Audioslave's Revelations is not included on the list...The album lacked any energy I like to feel coming from an album. I don't even think that any of their songs made it to Radio. Rage reunion anyone?

5. Justin Timberlake - Future Sex / Love Sounds. JT as I like to call him was at one time on my hated list of musicians for a little group called NSuck...or something similar to that. He has made a complete turn around and with Timbaland cutting the tracks, this album makes you want to go out and boogie. Best track on the CD is easily Sexy Back but could be tied with My Love.

4. My Chemical Romance- Welcome to the Black Parade. This album showed how much this band has matured. Great anthems including Black Parade and the Teenagers Scare the Shit out of me track.I wonder what Bert McCracken is doing now that his band is less popular than the band that he found

3.Wolfmother- Self Titled. Nobody told me that Black Sabbath and Led Zepplin joined forces and created a new band...Oh wait...they didn't? That's right. Wolfmother's Self Titled album is one of my favorites. The lead singer has an awesome voice, the band has a new sound that gives me an eargasim, and there is not one bad song on this album. If you haven't bought it, buy it!

2.Incubus - Light Grenades. From top to finish, not a bad song on this album. I'm no mo, but Brandon Boyd's voice is freakin awesome

1. Tool - 10,000 Days. Many of my friends call this album Tool's weirdest and some find it kind of creepy. I love it. Radio hits Vicarious and The Pot are both good tunes but I have 4 favorite tracks on the cd: Wings for Marie, 10,000 days, Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann), and finally Rosetta Stoned. Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned are to this album as Parabol and Parabola are to their previous Lateralus CD.

Lost Keys (Blame Hoffmann) is an intro song for Rosetta Stoned and refers to Albert Hoffman, the creator of LSD. The song itself has no lyrics but is a story of a Nurse speaking with a Doctor about a patient who is in this mental ward with no ID, stable vitals; they pretty much don't know what is going on with this patient. The Doctor proceeds to ask the patient, "tell me what is wrong". The patient finally answers the doctor in the song called Rosetta Stoned.

A little background for those who don't know what Rosetta Stone is. It is a stone which dates back to 196 B.C. The priests of Egypt would scribe into the stone in three different scripts: Greek (Egyptian language during that time), Demotic (common script in Egypt), and hieroglyphics (used for Religious Documentation). Rosetta is the town the stone was found in. It was used as a communication device so that the priests, government officials and rulers of Egypt could read what it said, it was sort of their newspaper. In this case it was written to honour the Egyptian pharaoh who had done good for the People of Egypt.

In the song Rosetta Stoned, the letter "d" was added to stone which signfies that this communicator is well...stoned..It is about a Man who is having a really bad acid trip just outside of Area 51 in the Nevada Desert (side note, I heard Area51 got moved to Idaho).This communicator thinks of himself as Rosetta Stone, the communicator, and is abducted by Aliens. He is supposed to tell all on Earth of how we are to die as the aliens told him. However, as the lyrics state, this communicator "forgot his pen, shit the bed again" (a saying used for messing up) and we will more than likely never know how aliens are going to kill us.

If you listen to the last song on Lateralus, there is a guy on there talking about how he used to work at Area51. I wonder if that person is Rosetta Stoned....

Enjoy...
