Something to think about...

Rivers Cuomo of Weezer took a break from the band in the late 90's to finish his degree at Yale/Harvard/Random Ivy League School...

Guy looks like a total nerd... skinny but not Scott Weiland skinny... Weezer on the whole is a pretty good group and I dig most of their stuff.

I however tonight put the proverbal two and two together...

Hash Pipe...
Dope Nose...
We are all on drugs...

These are three singles that have videos from Weezer... no I'm not saying that they do drugs but it really has to make you wonder....

No I'm never, No I'm never....

Ah the joys of rebuilding a PC.... it's been a year since my last rebuild... needless to say this little rebuild was long overdue.

There is nothing really like a fresh clean computer install. It makes everything feel better... of course I use Firefox so my installs tend to stay toasty fresh for a longer period then most others.

The one side effect of all this rebuilding however has been that I lost all my playlists in iTunes and subsquently lost the playlists in the iPod. Not a big deal really, just go and recreate them all and away we go. It's kind of cathartic really, new ways to create dynamic playlists and you never really create them the same way twice. So new stuff always perculates to the top. So far I haven't had enough stuff to listen to have anything intersting perculate to the top. Give it time...

While creating the playlists a stray neutron hit my brain and caused the following thought... in 20 years what music will we look back on as being "good" and as being "crap" .... it's a intersting thought take a look at a few of the classic rock stations they play Led Zepplin from time to time, Led Zepplin only had 1 top 10 hit in the U.S. and that was in the late 60's or early 70's. However I know that I have heard several diffrent Led Zepplin songs not only on the Classic Rock station but also on a few others as well. As I sit here thinking about it I don't think TOOL has every had a top 10 hit (though they have had most of their albums hit #1), Pearl Jam only had one "hit" "Jermey", Greenday seems to be the exception to the rule.... I don't know it's intersting.

I guess time will tell however I pretty sure that when I put on the classic rock station of the future I won't be hearing Limp Bizkit or Staind, but I'm pretty sure I will hear the White Stripes, Soundgarden, Mars Volta (haven't heard of them? time to get cracking...)

Roll On...

The worst part about picking titles from the music that I'm listening to at the time I write a post is that I have no clue what they are saying half the time. All I know is that tonights selection is from a band called "Sneaker Pimps" who I found through the power of 120 Minutes back in the day (read as college). I've had this music for a while and just haven't listended to it and it is what came up in iTunes. Sometimes I don't know what to make of it all, well in regards to my music any way :)

Anyway, the house/condo/cardboard box hunt is begining nevermind that this is the single hottest market ever.. and I'm a 1 income person and I have no desire for a roommate so that pretty much puts me in the catagorey of carboard box with a highspeed internet connection. Actually it will probally be like 3 cardboard boxes... a fridge box and then on either side the boxes for a washer and dryer. Actually that would be a pretty sweet deal, I have a nice living room, bedroom, office and my internet. What else does anyone need?

Oh I guess a stove would be a good thing too huh.... and probally a fridge... oh and a recycle bin... gotta do my part to save the world ya know.

I'm going to look back on this in about 4 years and go what the hell was I on.. sadly I'm stone sober and quietly eating a cold piece of pizza.

And now the bachelor comes out in me..

Best cold pizza is Papa Johns.

Best Frozen Pizza - Digiorno/Californa Pizza Kitchen

Best Pizza - Alpine Pizza in Flagstaff

Somedays I really miss that place. Today is not one of those days.

RRRRIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!

48 hours later the ringing in my right ear has finally stopped... It's nice to finally be able to walk around and not have that ringing and also don't forget it's nice to hear what people are talking to you about.

Moving on, I'm now looking at a 30 minute drive to work and home each day. Which means I have about 1 hour a day to think. Not that I think that much since I'm sitting in traffic pretty much that entire time but hey the potential is there.

Did I mention that I love my new job? No ? oh hear let mention that I love my new job :)


2 weeks in and I'm glad I made the move and took the jump. I think that things are going to work out for me very nicely down here. Doesn't hurt that I have my whole outlook on the up and up since you know I've been in like a good mood and stuff. Probally the most dangerous thing about living down here is that Fry's Electronics is 15 minutes away... which means that I have any part I could possibly want at my fingertips. The problem with that is I do not that mythical no pay credit with wich to buy these things. That must what comes with the territory.
/sigh

Ok it's time to go find that mythical no pay credit card... money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure does go a long way :)

It seems to me they are on the same team...

Started work w/ new job today... I think I'm going to like work ing at SHC. Now if only I can figure out where everything is at I will be doing ok.

Moving on, Battlefield 2 is my current addiction in the online gaming arena... it's really a good game once you get past the bugs and the occasional lagginess of it all. Best part IRON has a BF2 team so I actually have a group that I can play with that I kinda of know their styles and can work from there. That also helps because I suck... no really I suck worse then I normally suck at this game.


Something about 300+ deaths to 150~ kills... yeah my Kill to Death ratio is not the greatest... probally doesn't help that I keep walking into Artillery barrages or tanks... actually the biggest problem I have is I keep trying to tank on things that are bigger then me with a machine gun. That is how they, not a wise move.

Other then that it is a good game if a bit to real in some cases.
