Texas Flood
I was watching CNN yesterday and they did a piece on some ex-Marine in Texas who lives in a very rural area where he and his neighbors have been without electricity, fuel, or means of communication since hurricane Rita. They are also running low on food and are basically in desperate need of everything. He got so disgusted with the lack of assistance he wrote a text message on his cell phone and climbed a tree so he could get enough reception to send it. CNN got ahold of the message and drove out there to speak with him. When the reporters arrived he said he was "pissed as hell" and when asked what he would do if President Bush was here he said "I'd take him and show him everything around here then I’d kick him square in the butt and we’d sit down and drink a beer.”

Teen 'dance-off' ends in bloody melee
This news article is just flat out hilariously mind blowing! I think these kids need to go to their homes and play a family friendly game of "You Got Drunk" instead.

Storms of Life
Bernard Allison successfully rocked my face off last night! This guy kicks some serious ass, and his band is pretty damn good too. He played some real good stuff and his bass guitarist played one of the best bass solos I have ever seen. The drum solo was pretty damn good too. In case youre wondering those are two rattlesnake heads on the top of his hat. Yeah, I don't know either, but its cool.

There was some oldish lady there who looked like she could be a soccer mom, but she was acting weird as hell and was no doubt on some kind of narcotic.

The last song he played was a tribute to his father, the late Luther Allison. His mother was in the crowd that night and she cried a little during the song. Definitely the most heart fealt scene I've seen at a blues show.

I Got My Fajita Pita
Here are a couple things that make me laugh.

1. Listening to my iPod on shuffle when the intro to the album Crunk Juice abruptly ends and is immediately followed by Sweet Baby James by James Taylor.
2. Getting my hair cut by a guy with many arm tattoos, a mullet, and a nose ring.

On another note, this town is just a handful of select people shy of my own personal paradise.

Snake Bit Again
Tonight I get to experience one of the reasons why I moved to this town. I'm heading down to Buddy Guy's Legends blues bar to see one bitchin' blues man by the name of Bernard Allison. I have a couple of this guy's albums and they are quite good. In honor of tonight I'm going to put up one of his songs as the Featured Flava. Its called, Baby Chile. Check it out!

Leonardo da Twinkie
This little website kept me entertained for what was probably too long for my own good yesterday. Some of you got some art emailed to you yesterday so I hope you all enjoyed it. Play around with it and use your imagination.

The twinkie tool provides for an excellent phallic object.

Where They Gone, Where They Been
I have this thing set up on my blog where it keeps all sorts of crazy statistics for my site. For example, it tracks number of hits each day, who visits, how they get here (many from Charlie's blog), where they're coming from (lots of Aussies), and even how long they're on this site. I always get a kick out of the things people query for on search engines and accidently find their way to my blog. Apparently, this blog is the #1 search result on MSN Search for HELL NAW NIGGA. Someone else found this blog recently by searching on AltaVista for "old gay men." Go figure.

Can anyone name the movie the title for this post came from?

Pizza Pi
You know how people always complain they'll never use the shit they learn in math class? Well, I was definitely one of them. I hated math with a passion. All the stuff I learned in my Stats class I definitely will never use. Mostly because I can't even tell you what we learned, let alone remember how to do it. Some of the more basic stuff in math though I've found myself using. For example, at work we use 9oz of dough to make a pizza that comes out to 10in in diameter. I needed to figure out how much dough was needed to make a pizza with the same thickness of dough, but on a 16x9 pan. So first I figured out the area of the 10in pizza and divided that by the number of ounces used to determine that we use .115oz of dough per square inch of pizza. Then I figured out the area of the pan and mutlipied it by .115 to find out we need 16.56 oz of dough to cover the pan.

I feel like such a fucking dork.
