Internet fail

how in the fuck does this not have at least one million views???!!??!?!?

A safe alternative to a k-hole

i think i'm sufficiently stuck.

A picture of a painter...

...painting a picture of a painter painting a picture of a painter painting a picture of a painter painting a picture of a painter painting a picture of a painter painting a picture of a painter...

When a kiss was a kiss...

the more the technology loop tries to suck me in, the more i find myself longing for nostalgia -- for things that remind me of a better, simpler time. of course, it's all an illusion anyway and shit is just relative, but it does make me wonder: WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG, JADAKISS?!?!

that sentiment pretty much goes for all the ruff ryders, DMX especially. in college, my buddies and i would pimp out to all-things-DMX and i was convinced the world would never find a finer hip hop artist.

and then they all fell off the face of the earth and left me with worthless shit like chingy.

here's to those better, simpler times...

Better than going to an actual movie

"she smoked... um... something... it's not marijuana but it's... similar to... similar to incense"

Zelig skykiller's deep thoughts...

i love the fact that when you type "watch this when you're high" on the old youtube machine, up come a bunch of videos that you'd want to watch if you were high.

This makes me happy about life

Halle-fucking-lujah, kid

30 versus 30,000

the older i get the more i seem to appreciate nature. i like exploring and sitting my ass down when i find something cool. a lot of times i wear my headphones and enjoy the ability to create unique soundtracks based on what i see.

but this...

BADASS!!!

Gotta find this place

which reminds me...

Recovery

sunday was one of the best days of my life. i finished the houston marathon in 3 hours, 15 minutes, 19 seconds -- a whole FIVE AND A HALF minutes faster than my previous best.

i'm recovering now, planning to post a full race report on the run factory within the next few days.

here is the song that was stuck in my head for at least 22 of those 26 miles (during the last 4 my brain wasn't working well enough to understand music):

Beware the technology loop

i rely WAY too much on technology. i get sucked in by it VERY easily and i have a hard time putting the smart phones, the ipods, the laptops, the garmins, etc down or away for any extended period of time.

i need to change that.

when i run, i run sans phone/ipod and sometimes i run without my garmin, but that time only accounts for a small percentage of my day.

i'm going to try and get away from all the gadgets a little more in 2012. at least, i hope i can.

btw, portlandia is a fucking ridiculously hilarious and exciting new show on IFC.

Only thing missin' is chuck norris and a badass fight sequence

And now we know

i have always wondered what goes on behind those little black flaps. well, now we know:

Dubsteppin like a boss

stole this from our man in los angeles, but judging from the 25 million + views on the old youtube, i'm sure he won't mind.

WHERE DOES HE GET SUCH WONDERFUL TOYS!?!?!?!?

he was born with 'em.

apparently, i was too, i just don't know how to make 'em work like that.

BUT... i am willing... to... learn?

Now let seth mcfarlane say it...

This Will Destroy You's "Quiet"

music is powerful.

i doubt anyone would deny that.

what is up for debate is what kind of music causes that power to stir within you.

for me, this will destroy you's "quiet" is really hitting it on all levels right now. when i listen to it i am reminded of how far i have come in my journey to be the best me i can be. i see my mistakes. i see my triumphs. i see me soldiering on, whatever it takes.

that's something i need today. maybe you'll find it too.

All hail bobby mcbadass

bobby mcferrin is one of those artists who could hold my attention forever. i've scoured the youtubes and internetz for all the bobby vids i can find and i'm still not satisfied. the man is just so talented and he has never been afraid of doing something new.

that's something i can take to the proverbial bank.

here are a couple of my favs...

Ronald jenkees -- "Disorganized Fun"

not sure how i missed the whole ronald jenkees blows up youtube phenomenon a few years ago, but i did. i admit.

sorry, interwebz.

but thankfully, pandora introduced me to "disorganized fun" and now i'm jamming out to all the jenkees fun!

HOLLA!

"Die hard, interrupted"

an old friend of mine is in this. very funny cool.
