What would you say....

...to your past self if you had the chance?
This is a copy from a post i put on myspace over 2 years ago....and i think its a pretty great post. So i wanted to put it here.
In two years i've only added one thing.

1. dont let the people get you down that dont like that you are your own person

2. dont lie

3. stay away from clarissa

4. whatever some girl in athens says to you, its not bad enuff to try to leave the bar at that time in that state and if you still leave...make a left out of the bar, not a right.

5. stay away from the south hill mall, that will eliminate melissa....and a loss of 2 years

6. dude, in 7th grade. do not write that stupid letter.

7. you may want to consider not thinking so much.

8. dont worry, shes just one girl. dont waste your time in your room.

9. you are gonna meet your idol someday. think really hard about what you want to say to him. cause you may slightly regret what you dont say.

10. DUDE, i think that chicken salad has been in the fridge a little bit too long, dont eat it, just throw it away.

11.that chicken wing right there is gonna crack your tooth.

12. listen to your cousin, don't leave the wedding.

13. again, she's just one girl. Drop it.

14. tho very tempting. dont download music and movies. it will ruin alot of music for you.

15. you got away with it many times i know, but its just a greeting card. its not worth it.

16. dont be shy....she likes you.

17. trust me beer is good.

Few cool things I have bought

So, I LOVE thinkgeek! And I have been letting them know it lately.
Following are a few things ive purchased lately:











Over-Sized Ear Bud Speakers- $49.99
These things are great for the office, they dont get SUPER load so they are perfect for my work environment. They are powered and will run off of batteries (3AAA) or USB power. The wires leading to the speakers from the power supply aren't as long as I'd like but oh well, no big deal.












8-Bit Tie- $14.99
I love this thing...premiered on thinkgeek as an April Fool's joke, but got so many requests they started making it. Yes its a clip on, but the sheer awesomeness makes up for it.

As i get cool things I hope to post a short review about its coolnesss.

Tornado is Alaska?

Well according to Weather.com's home page earlier today that was the case....




I'm guessing they meant "AR" for Arkansas.

Writers, copywriters, and everyone else....learn your state abbreviations.

Living Well is the Best Revenge

I think this is a great video. They filmed a live acoustic version of the opening song of Accelerate in one take in a car.

Enjoy!
(oh and to fix a mistake in my previous post, Accelerate was released on April 1. Tho i did say yesterday twice.."ok, So as of yesterday the R.E.M. album, Accelerate, was released yesterday." so i guess i meant yesterday's yesterday...)

Everybody here, Comes from somewhere

ok, So as of yesterday the R.E.M. album, Accelerate, was released yesterday. As anyone that knows me knows, Im a huge R.E.M. fan, have been for many many years(pretty much back to "Green"). Since then I have always had this tradition of buying the album on the release date then listening it over and over again.(except for "Monster", since I was in the Bahama's when it was released) I refused to listen to Accelerate before the release date even tho R.E.M. released it in advance on iLike.com. I really enjoy the "old school" feeling of buying an R.E.M. album, ripping open the wrapper and losing myself in the new songs. R.E.M. has been with me thru a lot in my life, helped me thru many of the hardest things i've ever had to face.

Now there has been some "hype" about this album recently. Reviewers have been saying how "Rockin'" this album is, and how great it is that R.E.M. have returned to their roots. As a die hard fan, I'll be the first to say that generally speaking, "Rockin'" is NOT synonymous with R.E.M. (I'm NOT saying R.E.M. doesnt rock, its just not a standard sound for them) Also, in the reviews they basically say how bad "Around the Sun" sucked and that R.E.M.'s talent has been slipping away because they are releasing things that aren't R.E.M.ish. but my thing is, isn't a good thing that they are reinventing themselves and go against the grain and try something different now and then? Isn't that what made "Murmur" such a great album back in '83? It was such a breakaway from the mainstream...so doesn't it seem par for the course for Stipe and crew? Ofcourse I like some of their albums more than others, yes i enjoy Life's Rich Pagent more than Up but saying one is better than the other is like comparing a monkey to a T-Rex. It makes no sense. Just listen to every album consecutively and you will hear a range of sounds and styles, they have always been altering their sound, but no matter what R.E.M. releases when you hear it, you KNOW that it is R.E.M. And really isn't THAT what is important?

So thats just my 2.43565 cents and I am still gathering my final opinion of the album, but the more I listen the more I enjoy it.


I'll most likely end up loving it ofcourse.

So back in October, I played off my Focus. Lately, it had been acting up a bit. So I decided it was time to move on to a new car. So I got myself an '08 Mazda3. WHEEEEEEEEEEE! Man, it's so much better than my Focus was. AND SOOO MUCH FUN TO DRIVE!
