tell me why...

tell me why Snoopy is labeled as a beagle and does not look like one at all...

Observation...and Mr. Stokes

I drive the freeway on a daily basis...about 50 or so miles with tons of traffic see a lot of the same people each day. Well I observed something that really bugs the hell out of me. I would say that two or three of the same cars I see everyday have GPS units on their dashboard. Are they really needed? NO! They drive the same damn route everyday and just want to look cool. "F" those people who have a GPS unit just to go to the same damn place everyday.




The Wrider Dos and I are probably the only two that recognize the above people in the photo. They were the Weather Channel's lead broadcast meteorologists. Well the Asian guy Bob Stokes and Hillary Andrews were both fired....why you ask? Well Stokes asked Andrews,"Will you lick my swizzle stick?" as well as made other sexual advancements to her. Andrews is suing the Weather Channel for wrongful termination...Stokes is probably taking a Stroke...and I'm still enjoying the Weather Channel

why I love me some family guy

Birdman and Wrider would know this better than anyone...I love me the random...I say random things that totally make sense to me and no one else...which is why i like the family guy...i swear i feel like someone stole my mind and made a cartoon of it...

anyways...this clip is the funniest thing i have seen on family guy so far...it makes no sense what so ever but i love it...i can only imagine what Seth MacFarlane was thinking when he wrote this...btw...how catchy is this song

Happy Earth Day

The Wrider

I don't think that The Wrider has mentioned this at all...

Please Laugh

I laughed for 5 minutes at this literally....please laugh also so I won't feel bad

Radiohead remix by yours truly

Please listen to my remix of Radiohead's track "Nude" by pressing the play button below. If you like it you can vote on it as well which will give me a chance to have Radiohead listen to my version called "Thirteen Nude Ghosts".

I made it over the course of about 4 hours so please enjoy.

Happy Birthday...

to the peace sign as it turns 50 years old today.

my things

ok since everyone is doing it i thought why the hell not


Name one thing you do every day

Sit in 2 hours of traffic...


Name five things/people that make you feel good:

Head Scratching- I'm with Birdman on this one...no not the jock itch kind but the one where you can see pieces of your scalp rain down on you

Music- Everyone that knows me, knows i like me the music. I can think back to a time when I was a kid and the only thing that would calm me down after a big earthquake was music.

Watching a good fight - It could be wrestling, boxing, mma, or two drunk latinos at a Doyerz game but I love me a good fight. I saw two of the Best fights this past weekend literally an hour apart from each other. If you haven't seen it, google Frank Shamrock vs. Cung Le. This match totally kicked ass and would make an MMA fan out of ANYONE. Second fight I watched was Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels. Yeah wrestling is fake but this was Ric Flairs last match and the emotion behind it was so strong. Before Shawn Michaels ended the fight, you can read his lips saying I'm Sorry, I Love You then goes on to superkicking Ric Flair into retirement. The two immediately braced and you can see Ric start weeping right away. Google that fight if you get a chance also.

French Fries Who doesn't love French Fries?!?

Stand up Comedy Love me some stand up comedy except Dane Cook and any woman comic. Sorry but they both suck. My friend gave me tickets to the laugh factory once so I took the wife, her friend and my self to Hollywood. Big mistake as it was Lesbian Trucker night at the stand up. Dave Chappelle, Dave Atell, Bob Saget, Craig Shoemaker all awesome and make audio laugh out loud

Name four things you love to eat but rarely do:

Lobster

Lasagna

Steak

Mrs. Knott's Chicken

Name three things that remind you of childhood:

Huffy Bike I broke it

Summertime by Will Smith- Always jammed this tune the day school was out

Playing Two Hand Touch Football

Name two things you wish you could learn:


Italian- So I could kick it with George Clooney at his mansion when I go to Italy this summer

Driving stick shift


Well - that is about all I got and it was not easy......

The M...

I am coming back to the M!!

Will be in the M1 team as Senior Config Analyst.

See you soon.

Well...I haven't posted in a while...been working killer hours at work for our Audit that has been going on...so if i haven't been working 12 hour days, i've been traveling...Since my last post I went to Chicago and Frisco...Chicago was nice but it was literally 15 degrees and a windchill of like negative 5...I will post my pics of that soon...

Tomorrow I leave to New Orleans ....

With so much traveling I am going to sound like this guy pretty soon





To answer DOM Dan's question that wasn't me on KROQ the other day...Its funny because even though I knew it wasn't me, I get nervous when I hear my name on the ROQ...Don't know why though...I haven't called in sometime...If anything you will hear me on AM570's PMS show as I call into that a lot more than I do the ROQ...Speaking of the PMS show, there is a Zubaz and Stupid t-shirt party...I would be there but can't cause of the above mentioned travel...

Zubaz and Stupid T-Shirt Party

Fookin Recap

First of all, the crowd looked WAY bigger on TV than it did in person. There were probably 500 max and it looked like 1000 people on TV.

Second, the Asian girl that one, it looked like she was told on the side that she won because when they came out on stage to announce the winner, she was all smiles and the other two looked bummed out.

Now the timeline...

Arrive at 1pm and see a line of about 300 people. A black limo bus kept coming by but they weren't picking anyone up hmm....

Around 2:30 they announce they will be taking us to the location...walking....they also announce Foo Fighters will be doing three songs before they go live and some songs after....kick ass, a full concert!!

2:45 arrive at the Nokia Live Theater and a stage is set up...looked way smaller in person..

3:45 still waiting for the Foo's to come out

4:45 Jason Bateman comes out and practices his lines...still no Foo's

5:00 We hear the Grammy's have started so i'm like cool, the Foo's should be coming out shortly for the three songs

6:00 Lady's and Gentlemen the Foo Fighter's!! We go to a commercial

6:15 or so..They introduce the winner who is the Asian girl...still no Foo Fighter songs

6:40 or so..The Foo's start playing the Pretender...John Paul Jones was there but no one really even seemed to care...so sad

6:45...Song ends...Foo's walk off stage...they are supposed to come back and play

6:50...Lights are all out and the stage is being dismantled....this doesn't look good

6:52...Security comes by...EVERYONE EXIT THE WAY THEY CAME IN

6:53...Everyone is pissed off! 6 hours of waiting and only 1 Foo Fighters song! No explanation...No Goodnight everyone...they didn't tell anyone shit...Just walked off stage and that was it

Fook You GRAMMY's...Shutup Dave!

Grammy's update

I just found out at the Foo Fighters performance tomorrow, John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin will arrange a special orchestral version of the Foo Fighters' hit single "The Pretender" and will serve as special guest conductor of the Foo Fighters' orchestra. KICK ARSEEE!!

I'm going to see Foo Fighters

I just got a call from KROQ and I will be going to see Foo Fighters at the Grammy's!!

I will let you know how it goes....

.....Sigh.....

Remember Where on Earth (in the world) is Carmen Sandiego?

Well...the title should be changed to Where in the world is Audioslave...

This week San Francisco...next week I just found out I have to go to Chicago where it is going to be 28 degrees!!! ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT COLD ANYWHERE!!!!!!...Then in early March it looks like I will be heading to New Orleans ...then im off to New York for a week...nice huh...

28 Degrees though...come on!

Snooper Tuesday

With super Tuesday upon us I figured why not write about Snoopy. If you want to read about super Tuesday may I suggest reading CNN.com or Drudgereport.com but not here at 909pride.blogspot.com baby!!

You may say, captain random strikes again! Or, why the h e double hockey sticks is this guy writing about Snoopy. I am in SF again (zZzZ) and my manager has a picture of of this airplane that he wants to buy...one like avman has...well while he was gone today i switched that with a Snoopy one as he took on the Red Baron! (see below)



Ok now I know that isn't the real Snoopy / Red Baron picture but it is really close to the plane my Manager wants to buy.

Here is Snoopy and the Red Baron



Now I know what you are asking. Who if not Snoopy is the Red Baron?

Well they never show who the Red Baron is...and there are no waa wah waa wah waaa sounds. You just see Snoopy's dog house with bullet holes (he must live in the o.c.) When Snoopy's house gets shot up, Snoopy gets pissed, throws on a WWI hat, some goggles and a scarf then goes to war against the Baron...Snoopy also tends to yell out CURSE YOU RED BARON!!!!! FYI, the Red Baron in real life was a WWI pilot...in Snoopy's case I've heard its the cat next door.

For those who like nostalgic things, here is the first peanuts comic strip that featured Snoopy...enjoy

Yes...Part 2!

STP! STP! STP!

From NME.com

Stone Temple Pilots are gearing up for a reunion this summer when they will reportedly return to the live circuit.

According to Scott Weiland’s Velvet Revolver bandmate Slash, the band will get together this summer for a few shows, but no further details have been revealed.

Scott Weiland earlier this week reportedly told the Miami Herald that a reunion is on the cards in the coming months. Stone Temple Pilots split in 2002.



*****

I saw Velvet Revolver when they first got together...I guess they didn't have enough material so they broke into some STP and the crowd including myself went wild (I Came home with a ripped shirt). I can't wait until STP reunites!
