STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET XXXVII

I had the Sega Master System when I was a kid, I always wanted to get the Nintendo. Nintendo was what all the kids got in school, and Sega was the system parents bought thinking it was the same as Nintendo. Lately, the old systems have become retro, sites like this one are re-tooling the games we all loved into downloadable games that are slightly better than, but still retaining the look of the originals. I just dont think this is the sort of progress we should be striving for...

I thought I had a pretty shitty day when I side swiped that wall with the Mustang's door on monday untill you read this guys' adventures, complete with illustrations! I just wonder whether or not he got his condition after trying recipies straight from the 16th century. I cant believe people actually research and know what others ate & devote websites to it...

Some guys are just too geeky. If you arent familiar with RAID systems in computers, its when more than one hard drive is used to store data. The more hard drives, the faster the computations become. I have seen it done with CDs & hard drives, but never with floppy drives. You dont have to click here, but a good knowlege of computers is needed to understand what the hell they are talking about.

I found more artists out there to note. Joseph Scheier-Dolbergs pictures remind me of what I see when I go out for a cruise with the top down at night. The sky plays off the atmosphere & creates colors against the rich & dense urban landscape & it naturally draws me in. With me not driving my car around (as to not let the scratches & broken panels be seen) I find it almost as good as the real thing.

The Kahn - Selesnick Galleries are within my wheelhouse of art. Its surreal in its contradictions in objects & space. Look hard and see what I mean.

I will load them onto my sidebar later.

Should we feel bad?

Im starting to get alittle sick and tired over the final episode of Friends tonight. Why? Just about every news agency has a "Farewell to Friends" and it's starting to get alittle old. They started these "Friends Watch" specials once it was close to the final 7 episodes and it just got progressively worse. Trivia, slightly in-depth analysis into each charachter & quizzes to see which Friends star you are more like.

I found out I am more in common with WHO GIVES A FLYING SHIT? It's over, people. Just like M.A.S.H., Magnum P.I., Cheers, The A-Team, Seinfeld & The Cosby Show, THIS SHOW HAS TO END. Your life will continue, in one years time you would have forgotten more pertinent stuff in your own personal life than cared why you sat and watched the final episode of Friends. Enough allready...

What's that you say? What will I be doing instead of watching that final episode of Friends? Lets see, TLC has a show called Overhaulin' that I will watch, or I can watch the all evening marathon of my favorite Japanese-American dubbed gameshow on Spike TV called MXC (Most Extreme Elimination Challenge). Why will I watch MXC? It's in their slogan "We put the FU back in fun".

'Nuff said.

Im feeling slightly better

Im still extremely angry at myself for what I did to the Mustang. Ive been getting a few insurance quotes from several body shops in town, I might not get out of this under $1,900. It's ok, though. It's the reason we all pay insurance on our vehicles.

DO NOT TALK TO ME AT ALL THIS WEEK







The pictures are taken of my prized 2001 Mustang after hitting a concrete retaining wall while (ironically) paying my insurance bill. The City of El Paso WILL pay for the dammages.

Nudists Beware

I had to share this one. This news story is courtesy of AP News.

(Austin-AP) -- What could have been a major tragedy turned out to be a story of neighbor helping neighbor after a party barge capsized on Lake Travis. The barge capsized yesterday, tossing 60 people on board into water that was more than 50 feet deep. Police say two people suffered minor injuries. Both were treated at area hospitals and released.

Civilians and rescuers from various emergency response units pulled people to safety. Witnesses say that as the boat neared Hippie Hollow on the lake, all of those aboard moved to one side, causing the barge to overturn. Hippie Hollow is a lakeside park and the only public nude beach in Texas.

Austin American-Statesman reports yesterday said barge flipped over during Splash Day, a semiannual event hosted by the gay and lesbian communities.
