Are we there yet?

This is a question I'm going to be asking myself all week long. I just have to make it till Friday and then I'm off for 10 days!!! As many of you already know I'm going to be going on this road trip across America. The trip actually started on Saturday when Pops and Sis took off for DC. Saturday morning I'll be meeting them in the nation's capitol and then we're off to a Glenn Beck rally.

Yeah I know. I'm seriously going to this. I'm a firm believer that if you want to despise something you should actually know what it is. It was for this very reason that I watched or read GW's state of the union every year. And it's the same reason I'm going to the Restoring Honor rally. Well that and my dad really wanted to go. So since I'm going to be there I'm going for total coverage! When it's all said and done I'll give you an in depth analysis of what I saw.

And in the end the rally is only half of a day out of 9. There are a lot of things I'm excited to see and I'll be sure to get pictures for all of you. However for the time being you can all check out the road trip progress at We're Rolling Out!

I believe in Aloysius

I want a Snuffleupagus for Christmas too!!!

Did you know that the main reason behind introducing Snuffleupaguus to the adults of Seasame Street and not just having him be Big Bird's imaginary friend is because the creators were afraid that the adults not believing in his existence would lead children to think that they wouldn't be believed if they came forward with stories of sexual abuse? It's all in the wiki page!

Okay this one is great because, as one of the comments says, "snuffy fixes the video with an earthquake".

I should also note that TODAY is his actual birthday. Happy Birthday Snuffy!

Apparently I'm going to be adding to this through out the day. Check back for more Snuffleupagus propaganda!

Introducing...

President Obama's new personal security guard, GUILE!!!!

Charlie don't hit her!

So I finally watched the video to "Love The Way You Lie". What can I say? Charlie's a wife beater!?!? No, but seriously. I can't believe they've found a way to mash up my two favorite things of the year: Eminem and Lost.

This is hands down the best track on the new Eminem album which although I don't own (I will soon) I've heard the majority of it regularly (thank you Pandora) and I have to say it's solid. But this track particularly. How can you go wrong? Rhianna has just tied Mariah, Beyonce and Lady Gaga for most number 1 singles. Then you've got Eminem who, excluding Encore and Relapse (drugs are bad, real bad), has proven time and time again he's probably the best rapper alive. Hell, even Kanye's called him out as point blank best ever. Probably because with Recovery he's proven that he still has it. Well here's the video...

Okay I have to take it back. There was one good track on Encore...

Hammer Time!

So after my work computer had a complete failure last week, I've finally got everything back up and running. This includes long time hold out - sound. The first thing that I did once I had my sound back was stream a bunch of MC Hammer videos. You know, cause sometimes you just need a lil Hammer Time.

To Blog or Not to Blog - That is the question

I've been in a bloggin' slump. I'm not sure what to blog about so I just don't blog. I was talking with NESF who said, "yeah, you haven't blogged in a long time "nothing" finally got old, eh? ;)" It's kind of true. There isn't much out there that has made me feel passionate about enough to blog it. There's cool shit I see on the internet but I guess I figure you all see the same meme's I do so reposting them is just redundant. And if there's one thing that I try to do with my random musings it's be somewhat original. I'm going on a cross country road trip at the end of the month, maybe that will inspire me again. August might just not be the month for bloggin this year.

Okay I can't even attach a picture for some reason. Imagine a large image of an outlet and then a cartoon of Shakespeare considering the title to this post. Oh yeah, there's also this image of a bottle of Everclear and a funnel.

Let's talk about bread

It's such a simple thing. Some flour, water, yeast, whatever else you fancy. It's such a staple in our society it's become the center of many idioms most notably "bread and butter".

Now I'm sure you all have noticed that things are more expensive nowadays. It used to be that if you were spending $5 for a loaf of bread you were getting some gourmet olive loaf laced with diamonds. Now your $5 gets you a standard loaf of bread. Sure there are cheaper alternatives, like Wonder Bread, but I just can't get that. I need something with real grains.

The bullshit is that grain prices are rising even higher. Pretty soon here it'll be $10 for some bread. BREAD!!! It's absurd.

Now the ingredients are going to be going up in price as well, but I think it's time for me to get serious about baking my own bread. It's really not that hard, I've done it before with a bread machine. With a machine it's a no brainer, but since I've moved out on my own I've been avoiding more machines in my home (I don't even own a microwave), so I'm going to have to learn to do it the old fashion way (MNom I'm looking in your direction).

Where am I going with this? I want your bread recipes!!! I know you've all got one laying around. I want it. Anyone who sends me a good bread recipe will receive a loaf of bread from me as a thank you, either of the recipe you submit or a different one. If other people are interested in being a part of this exchange let me know. If there are enough people interested it might move beyond bread into a whole assortment of DIY foodstuffs.

Well that's about it. But I feel like I should add something more so I can include another picture of bread. Mmmm bread.

Yes that'll do nicely.

Question!

The older I get the less people come and the more people go

I haven't been blogging many dreams lately. There is a very good reason for this. I went years without experiencing anything that might be seen as a nightmare. Even the horrific dreams always seemed to have some underlying element of hope. Recently this hasn't been the case. There is a disparity that I can't quite explain. Whatever it is I need to figure it out, because I think it's having a negative impact on my outlook. For instance last night...

I was a solider in Alexander's army. We were in Persia shortly after Alexander died. All of the other men seemed lost, content to simply wander aimlessly. I wanted to get home, but had no idea where home was any more. I left the rest of the troops and started to head west. It was a long and arduous journey. I went for miles and miles without ever seeing another soul. I passed through a variety of settlements, each time I'd get excited to finally talk to someone, but then I'd get to a point just outside the walls to find that no one was left. The majority of them seemed to be abandoned with the exception of the last city I came across. I was somewhere in Egypt at this point, there were pyramids in the distance. The walls around the city were massive and had the gates been shut I'd never had made it in. I started to walk around the abandoned town wondering where everyone was. It was like they all just picked up and left in a hurry. As I got closer to the center of the city I notice smoke rising from a plaza. When I reached the square I keeled over and started to vomit. The smoke was rising from a huge pile of corpses. Despite the fact no one was around it seemed to have been recently ignited as I could still see the flesh melting from the bones. I turned and ran. I kept running. Through the desert. Along the shore. Running. Until I woke up...
