My life as a computer slacker…

Archive for July, 2009

  • Can some one please just take Glenn Beck out behind a barn and put him out of my misery? I’ll buy you a soda if ya do. …please? #
  • On that subject. Any time I get in a car with conservative talk radio playing, I change it to hip-hop or heavy metal. It makes me smile. #
  • @wilw at least meet them half way… how about you offer to push them in or dowse them in gasoline or something. #
  • My photoshop skillz faded so much I can’t even create a decent fake celeb photo for blackmail purposes. So long last marketable skill. :( #
  • @niennawolf Oh, he is such a d-bag. He’s got a show on the Faux News channel and a radio show. Jon Stewart and Colbert rip into him A LOT! #
  • http://twitpic.com/c72hg - I miss my desk being this clean. Stupid lack of motivation. #
  • So mad with the voters of SYTYCD. Ade is clearly more talented than Evan. #
  • @niennawolf Yeah, I kinda hate people. Hermit for hire…anyone? Eagle Eye was good but not great IMO. Try Seven Pounds, its so sad but good #
  • Ugh. Too much work to finish today. They are going to make me work tomorrow :( #
  • Have to stat late at work tonight because my bosses and coworkers are tools. #
  • And now back to my regularly scheduled crassness… Q: What did Cinderella say when she got to the ball? A: *Gag* #
  • Can’t decided if I should go to bed or watch a movie I’ve seen many times before. I’ll probably watch the movie. I make good decisions! #
  • @niennawolf aren’t you glad I made you watch it that time. I’m watching Being John Malkovich. It’s so weird…I love it :) #
  • @niennawolf you should really watch it. It’s one of those great weird movies that almost no one has seen. Night, slacker. #
  • Just heard a song that used to make me happy. Now it makes me very very angry. So on that note I will be going to bed. #
  • @niennawolf well I made it to work on time. Thanks for the sentiment. #
  • I said it before and I’ll say it again. This town needs an enema. #
  • @niennawolf ok you know I never do this but: LMAO at “stuff that came out”. Oh, also…ewwwww! #
  • Some days do you ever feel Wild Bill crazy? “It puts the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again!” #thingicantsayinpublic #
  • Yep, if I had to get a new car today it would be a hard choice between mustang and fusion. #
  • @niennawolf Yeah, I don’t like the 09 but the 2010’s are nice! Unfortunately even with “cash for clunkers” $21,000 is still a lot O’ chedda. #
  • My prediction for tonights episode of SYTYCD: Evan and Melissa will be going home. I want Ade to win but I just don’t think he will. #
  • My alarm starts going off at 5am. This let’s me snooze until 6:30. However Clyde just can’t let me sleep past 6. I feel so cheated at times. #
  • @niennawolf the problem is I can’t wear it to work or it will get sweaty and dirty. I like it but I just don’t know where I’d ever wear it. #
  • FDA today says that people under 25 who use tanning beds increase their risk of cancer by 75%. Take that you superficial orange freaks! #
  • @niennawolf another one?!?! Do you think I’m made of money? Plus I’ve got some redneck camo hat to work in. #
  • @niennawolf ha ha it wasn’t mean. It was true :) #
  • Ever see a balloon floating away and feel happy for it because it “got free” but sad cause it’s all alone now? #thingsicantsayinpublic. #
  • @niennawolf wow. once again you go far deeper than I had considered…you still hurt my head. I should stop anthropomorphizing things. #
  • My first itunes genius list FAIL. Asked for a genius list based on a Korn song. One of the songs in the list: Faith - George Michael. #
  • Listening to Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are A-Changin’. Its oddly appropriate for this point our history also. #
  • @wilw great series. ID4 and even Earth: Final Conflict always seemed like rip offs of V. But that’s just one geeks opinion. #
  • I admit I’m trying to grow my hair out long again. Its just so hard to stick with it because its at that shaggy/curly/dorky looking length. #
  • @kpereira best movie review ever! Now I will certainly see it. #
  • @niennawolf it’s too long for gel. Trust me, it’s a very odd length right now. It’s not what anyone would call “attractive”. #
  • @niennawolf in yo email, so :p #
  • @niennawolf ugh… That is definitely not the look I am going for. That’s why I said it was awkward. It’s not in style but think mid 90’s. #
  • Sound track to my work day: queens of the stoneage, the dead weather, and Michael Jackson. I’m eclectic alright! #
  • @niennawolf nope. Look up Jack white or Gavin rosdale. Something like that. #
  • Lunch time. I can’t think of anything I’d rather do for an hour than sleep. The down side is when I wake up, I’ll still be at work. #
  • I’m so tired I can barely keep my eyes open. I know if I take a nap now I’ll just sleep all the way till morning though. #
  • http://twitpic.com/byncr - Saw it at work and just had to get it. #
  • Watching “Gone in Sixty Seconds”. I would give my right arm for that mustang, but then how would I shift gears?!?!? #
  • So into The Dead Weather right now. Another combo of amazing talent from other bands. Enjoy it while you can. Too much ego to last very long #
  • RT @Spartz http://lo57i.tk “What an epic reply to a question on Yahoo! Answers. Hahaha!” #
  • @niennawolf “one of me”? Puuuulease I am the one and only like me. #
  • @niennawolf try Tomlinson motors in Gainesville. That’s were I got the mustang. Good selection as long as you’re looking for used. #
  • @zanesavage http://twitpic.com/bp850 - You should grow that beard anyway. It looks awesome! #
  • I need new shoes but I hate shopping for them. Why is it so hard to find a cheap, good looking, and all man-made shoe? #
  • RT @chrispirillo “I can’t believe #ChrisPirillo was murdered on his birthday.” -Chris is wants to trend for his birthday, lets help him out. #
  • @niennawolf I’m not picky, I just know what I want. Its the manufacturers fault for not making shoes for vegetarians. Meat eating ruffians! #
  • Out of kibble. The cats have organized the dogs into a union/mob. They are chanting something ominous. I should go buy kibble now. #

The Dead Weather

Posted by 2toad

I just recently tweeted about The Dead Weather but the more I listen the more I realize they deserve their own post. Anyone who likes a blues throwback sound should definitely check them out. So far my favorite song is “Will There Be Enough Water”. It seems like they are reaching back the the underground blues of the 50’s and pulling it right into the present.

Sadly though I don’t think they will last. The Dead Weather is another “super group” composed of different talents from other bands. Most notably Alison Mosshart of The Kills and Jack White of The White Stripes and The Raconteurs. Most super groups tend to break apart because each member already has one or two successful bands. Also the ego of so many super stars thrown together tends to create a volatile situation. Remember Velvet Revolver anyone? Great hard sound but just too much ego. Anyway, here is the video of The Dead Weather’s live performance of Will There Be Enough Water. Enjoy.

  • Been watching GI Joe. I never realized it before but Cobra was one VERY well funded organization. I mean they had freaking jets man! #
  • @niennawolf Nothing wrong with “issues”. I’m just looking for someone with a FEW “issues”, not a whole damn magazine company this time. :) #
  • Just got my first Verizon bill, so far I’m still under the unlimited plan. Works for me. #
  • I woke up this morning with a cat sleeping on my head. He got mad when I got up. He said my days are numbered. *scared* #
  • Had to drive a customer to wendys. He scratched his balls the whole trip. Now I feel I must disinfect this car. #
  • Guess what I just drove. That signature says “Jack Roush” btw http://twitpic.com/bgecb #
  • Or I’ll shoot! http://twitpic.com/bhj29 #
  • I am so going to re-live my childhood tonight. http://twitpic.com/bhvnz #
  • @wilw http://twitpic.com/bh9rk - Yes, the lions were better but the vehicles were nothing to sneer at really. #
  • Had a “get off my lawn” moment in walmart. Stupid kids and their stupid summer break. GET A JOB! #
  • RT @TerryJaymes “That’s me! On the business end of that Moose.” That’s what she said! *rimshot* #
  • @niennawolf I don’t think so. She’s got more bagage than American Airlines. Nice though. :) #
  • @niennawolf ok the pickles I can kind of understand. But who needs a gallon of peppers. Do you just like burning poop or something? #
  • Getting really upset about the college losing my transcripts. I’m starting to take it out on my coworkers and that is just not cool. #
