First off - yes, my phone again has issues, the screen went out after 3+ years of the same phone. Luckily Kris has an old one she sent me, so sometime this afternoon I'll again be able to use my phone. Giggidy.

Payday = Good. Today = Payday. We could use some basic Algebra here to conclude that Today = Good. It appears that my 2 years of Algebra at Kuemper and 6 credits of Calculus at ISU have paid off, else I would not have been able to calculate that Today = Good and I would have gone the entire day thinking it was just another day.

This weekend shall be a good one. This evening I am staying home and working on my picture-scanning project and finishing ironing (ain't I cool?), tomorrow the ISU/Nebraska game is on ABC in the afternoon, then Saturday night a bunch of us are heading to the Great American Beer Festival. That could be interesting beings that I'm on crutches -- luckily Duane gave me a holster, you'll see what I mean in some pictures. Men's Health magazine listed the GABF as one of the top 5 events in the world that every man needs to attend/experience at some point in his life. This'll be my 2nd of the 5 (the other being "Celebrate Mardi Gras in New Orleans). I don't remember the other 3, maybe I'll look them up and post them here ........ nah.

Sunday, let's see - it's kind of up in the air. Either go to The Home Depot and Bed Bath and Beyond (if there's enough time), or .... well, I suppose I could sit on my couch all day watching 4 NFL games simultaneously on 4 different TV's. I'm indifferent as to which I do, so we shall see.

New MP3 is up today.... Have a good weekend - be safe.

I've come to notice that when an announcement comes out that oil has gone up by $.50/barrel, gas prices rise 20 cents ... however, if a barrel drops $3/barrell, gas prices only go down about 1 cent. This is bullshit. It can go up $.50 in one night, but it'll take 6 months to go down the same amount. What gives?!

First off - last night I did something I swore I wouldn't do -- I enabled "guest" posting ... that's right, guests can now post in the forums without registering. So if you wanted to post yesterday but didn't, go try again.

Now we should all know by now that since a very young age I've disliked (understatement) the Iowa Hawkeyes ... but this is just ridiculous. Someone needs to punch this bitch in the eye. I've got to stand up for their football team in this case. What a stupid, worthless bitch. I hope Erin Buzuvis' dog gets run over this afternoon.

Doesn't Fall suck? There's no hiking or snowboarding, everything dies and turns from green to some dead color, it gets cold, and it gets overcast with cold rain. I mean come on, if it's cold there better at least be a ton of snow, but Fall doesn't even provide that. On top of all this, I now associate Fall with being hurt, limping, and doing nothing all day. I hate Fall.

Can you tell I'm in a shitty mood today? Yeah, I thought so.

I got home last night, ate some chips & salsa (imagine that), watched Arrested Development then went to reading this Lance Armstrong book my Mom gave me. I'm about halfway done with about 8 books, I never finish books ... but I always have several I'm reading. Anyways, I'm lying there reading this Lance Armstrong book, got about 150 pages done, and I'll be damned if it didn't motivate me to get off my bed and do some stuff, so I cleaned my entire bedroom and did a huge workout -- and trust me, there's only so many things you can do with (2) 35lb dumbells, but I found about 10 lifts to do. It was hard, it made me realize how out of shape I'm getting. After this, I sat back down and read some more. It made me realize something ... I'm not very self-motivated. Ryan helped me make it up Long's Peak, I wouldn't have made it alone. Lloyd ran with me during the sub-2-hour 1/2 marathon, don't know if I could have done that alone. I wouldn't go to the gym 10% of the time I do if Jacob wasn't here. I wouldn't have cleaned or worked out last night had I not been motivated by Lance Armstrong's book ...

So today I ask you to go here and tell me what you do to get self-motivated. Click that link and tell me. I need tips, I detest relying on other people for anything and I realized last night this is one area where I have been unsuccessful in that endeavor.

New MP3 is up, so is pic of the day, but that's about it. I'm busy today, server issues, humph. Gotta get this new one functional, but I'm waiting on IS to set the firewall, they take forever sometimes. Bastards.

Firefox 1.0.7 just came out -- time to update your browser.

Cyclones win, Seahawks win, Iowa loses (again, without scoring a TD) .... everything would just be great if my fantasy football team would accomplish anything!

3 1/2 more weeks of crutches (tentatively), and all is well. The ankle feels hunky dory ... translation: it doesn't hurt when I'm just sitting around, but it would/does if I/when I walk on it. No more swelling, still working out, but I can't say the same for eating well ... I've been eating like shit the last few days or so.

Today's random thought ... getting LASIK done last April was by far the best choice I've made in my entire life -- even better than moving to Denver or going to Iowa State for my college career. Just get it done already, trust me, it's worth every penny, even if you have to go into debt to do it - you'll be so damn happy!

Anyways, I haven't got much to say, as usual I haven't been doing much. Have a good week, new MP3 is up.

TGIF, I don't know why as I won't be doing anything this weekend .... again. I'm going to try to do some work on my car, kinda. I did a 1/3-assed (as opposed to half-assed, as half-assed would have been better) job of installing my new Infinity front speakers in Laetitia ... and the wiring came undone, so I have no front speakers. I'm going to go in on Saturday morning and do the job correctly. I need an oil change, but I'm going to admit that's not something I can do in my condition, so I'll likely, for the third time in the 6 years I've had that car, *gulp*, pay someone to do it for me. Last time I paid for someone to do it, they A) didn't change the oil filter, and B) Didn't put the oil cap back on and I lost all my oil and got my car beyond-able-to-be-cleaned status under the hood. As you can tell - I don't trust people with my car.

ISU plays Army on ESPN2 tonight at 6:00pm (MST). I want to watch that at home in HD, but ESPN2HD is having issues at my house as I can't pull in satellite 119 hardly any of the time, and I really don't want to watch it on a standard reception on regular ESPN2. I don't want to go to the bar to watch it either as I don't like being out on my crutches.

Prong - Snap Your Finger Snap Your Neck is on KBPI right now. What a cool f'n song, I've always liked this song. I will put it as MP3 of the day in a month or so. Just a sweet riff to this song.

I'm close to 100% positive that after football season (as I started my picks there) I'm through with Old Chicago in Broomfield... I'm going to switch to Old Chicago Westminster. That may not sound like a big deal to most of you, but trust me, that's a huge deal as I've spent trillions of hours in that place. The new bartenders suck (meaning, they forget to order your food, they don't know your name, they ID you each time you come in (ok, that one might be exaggerated), and they don't know what you want to drink before you ask for it) .... all the guy servers are either mentally retarted or arrogant assholes who think they're re-inventing themselves as cool although it's blantently obvoious they are complete tools and have never had a friend in their life, all the newly-hired waitresses are (for the mostpart) fugly as Julia Roberts, and I look forward to being insulted and/or having my life analyzed by certain people, who don't know me worth a shit, every time there. Basically, if Wooderson, Murdock, Tiff, or Jamie ain't working, it's a miserable place to be -- they don't even have foosball any more.

Yup, that's my thought for the day... now it's time to work, have a good one - Go Cyclones! Go Seahawks!

Have I mentioned to you that my doctor's last name is "Docktor". That's correct, his name is Dr. Docktor. I wish I was kidding you about this. Anyways. Doc Doc wasn't in today, so I saw a different ortho, she has informed me I have at least 4 more weeks in boot/on crutches and I cannot put any weight on it. I have no more swelling or bruising, and areas where she tested for pain were not hurting me any more. Basically the only pain I have is when pressure is placed directly over the fracture. My next appointment is October 20th, so I'll be on crutches and locked up in my apartment until at least then. Apparently I'm a slow healer. But on the bright side -- it still looks like it'll heal 100%. So dependant upon how quickly I can rehab my leg muscles, I shouldn't miss too much of the snowboarding season this year. And this song I'm listening to right now sums up my thoughts on that.

John Locke is the coolest character on television. Ask Andy, I find myself talking like him all the time now, I think it's hilarious. The guy knows everything! I still can't figure out if he's a genius or absolutely insane. "The island will tell us what to do." Ok, psycho! Seriously -- if you haven't started watching Lost yet, tape tonight's episode ... DON'T WATCH IT!! Go rent or buy season 1 DVD's and watch them, they'll have you hooked to the point where you'll finish the season in a week for sure ... THEN watch tonight's episode. If you watch tonight's episode, it may just ruin season 1 for you. But wow, I can't f'n wait .... oh man.

I can't even focus on what's really important here ..... Red Wings/Avs tonight ......... the most intense rivalry in all of sports and the return of hockey season is tonight, I haven't watched a hockey game since the night before the Slipknot concert in May of 2004, yet all I can think about is watching Lost! Unfortunately, we have Milan Hejduk out for a month already, horrible news, I'm still debating wether to buy his jersey or Tanguay's jersey.

I'm kinda out of it today I'd better get to work.

What a fast week, I'm pretty busy at work so this'll be quick. Arrested Development returned last evening, and I was not disappointed. Got some reading done, some football watched, and that was about it. I actually slept well last night. I am just not good at sleeping on my back, but for some reason it worked last night.

Wow, I really haven't got anything to say today, no matter how hard I think. Haven't typed this in awhile -- sign my guestbook if you haven't done so before! That's your thought for the day. Adios todos.

Oh - btw - the pictures that were broken links from my parents' visit are now fixed, had an extra "/" in there ...

Football returns to Seattle, and the Seahawks knock of Vick and the Falcons 21-18 ... so we're 1-1 on the season with a home game against the Cardinals next week followed by a road trip to Washington. These 2 games will tell if we're worth a shit or if we're a worthless piece of shit. Those 2 teams aren't very good in my opinion, but I'll be ecstatic if we come out of this with a 3-1 record ... because then we'll surly lose to the Rams, we always do.

Let's talk "ankle" here for a minute. Don't get me wrong, this thing sucks, but there's no way I'm letting this thing take control of me. Sure, I'm not going to be leaving the apartment much (by the way, I'm 3/8ths done with the healing process), but I'm going to come out of this better than ever. I'm still keeping in shape with some dumbells I have at home. I'm not over-eating and when I'm eating, it's healthy for the mostpart. I'm getting caught up on my list of organizational projects (one is the next paragraph), and I've got a good start on my "Scan every picture I own" project. I've already scanned every letter, card, note, document, bank statement that I've gotten since I was 18 ... and pictures from my first 2 albums. They're backed up, burned to DVD, and stored in the fire-proof safe. I'll finish this project by the time I'm healed. I'm also reading like crazy, and writing like crazy. Getting caught up on my list of movies to watch. I'm motviated to stay in shape, tonight I'm going to start going for walks on my crutches. I'll try to go a half mile or so tonight. I'm going to come out of this like a rockstar ... healed, motivated, better, smarter, stronger -- this is a stepping stone to a better life for myself. This is not something that will hold me back, although I must admit -- I'll probably have to ask for help to go grocery shopping, that's the one thing I just don't think it's possible for me to do on my own, everything else - I don't need anyone's help. I am self-sufficient, I can do this!! WOOOOO!!!!

My MP3 project is offically complete ... that's right ... they're now 100% organized perfectly .... over the course of this project I eliminated over 9GB of duplicates and incomplete MP3s .... I'd explain how, but it's complicated. We're talking organized, here. Example: the "Ice Cube" folder has a "Lethal Injection", "Predator", "Death Certificate", and "Greatest Hits" folder, along with shortcuts to the folder containing the "Friday" soundtrack and another shortcut to the "Westside Connection" folder .... that's just a taste of how insanely organized this is. Every file now has the same format and they're all converted to MP3 -- no more mp4 or wma's or anything. I was working on it for about 2 years, then I did probably 10 hours of touch-up work this weekend, started the final stretch at 4am on Sunday morning and finished at 10am yesterday.

That's it for today ... I hope your life is as fantastic as mine!!!

FLUSH THE FORMAT FRIDAY IS BACK!! HELL YES!! DEFTONES ON THE RADIO!! GIDDY THE FUCK UP!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH SHOVE IT SHOVE IT SHOVE IT!!!!!!!! Better take a break from the mix cd MP3 of the day and post this song, holy shit this song rocks.

By the way, you can stream KBPI now online... do so, it's great. Great morning show. And today is "Flush The Format" where they'll play any request at all, it's awesome.

Andy and I went to 40 Year Old Virgin last night. It is about Bruce Almighty or Me, Myself and Irene type funny -- meaning it has a few parts that make you laugh, but that's about as far as it goes. Save your money and rent the DVD ... but feel free to laugh at Coldplay joke all you'd like, that was classic and true.

The day has finally come which I will put a final seal of approval on this statement: Kenny Chesney sucks. This is the man who got me to like country music, and I'm realizing how huge of a hypocrit this tool is. First off - don't even tell me he sings country music. He sings shitty-ass Jimmy Buffet type beach-music. Ever see one of his videos? He acts like a homo walking around on the beach in his tank top. Then on all his old REAL country albums (which are phenomenal albums) he has songs talking about how he doesn't drink, how you don't need to drink, how quitting drinking was the best thing he ever did --- then his new albums are all about drinking on the beach. As Mitch Hedberg would say, "What the fuck's up with this guy?" This guy has serious issues. He's a phoney and I would like to disassociate myself as being a fan of his. How can you take such a fall after classics such as The Tin Man and She's Got It All?? And how is he more popular now? He sold out, he sucks. Yes - I finally admit it, Kenny Chesney sucks.

I want to talk about women, the O.C., reading, and other things.... but we'll save that for another day.... right now.

CUZ I'M A LIAR! YEAH I'M A LIAR! I'LL TEAR YOUR MIND OUT, I'LL BURN YOUR SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M A LIAR!!! LIAR!! LIAR LIAR LIAR LIAR!!

OH MAN!! I LOVE flush the format Friday! They're playing Rollins Band - Liar now, what an awesome song!! I'm fully expecting "Rock me Amadeus" or "She Thinks My

Imagine this -- I did nothing last night but sit on the couch. My life is so exciting, the only thing I can imagine being more exciting is coming here to read about it. You people don't have the ability to sit on a couch and watch TV on your own, you come and read about how I did it. Only got 4 more episodes of Lost to watch, I've watched 20 (it turns out there's 24 episodes in Season 1, who knew?)

I'm already over 2 weeks into the crutches, just got 6 more to go! We'll just keep thinking positive and this'll be over before you can say "blueberry pancakes".

Blueberry Pancakes.

Ok, maybe not that fast. Pretty fast, though.

September 13, 2005

Ok, I started watching the Lost DVD's on Friday after work, I've already watched 16 of the 20 episodes. What a cool f'n show. I really don't need to get any more TV shows I must watch. Currently there's 4 TV shows I watch -- Family Guy, The O.C., Arrested Development, and now, Lost. Does anyone else think this new Bones show could rank right up there with House M.D. and American Idol for worst shows ever? I mean, it's almost as bad as going to that new Samuel L. Jackson & Eugene Levy movie, which I shall officially prejudge as the worst movie produced in the last 3 years.

Anyways, my bedroom and laundry pile is slowly compiling into one of the biggest clusterfucks on the planet. I've got about 8 glasses on my nightstand, clothes everywhere, piles of laundry that I can't even keep straight any more, and nothing is ironed. I hate crutches. I work my whole life to become self-sufficient, and then it's taken from me. I feel like a filthy, messy, poor-excuse for a human. I will now officially admit there is one good reason to get married ... if you're permanently handicapped you could use the help. So to all the wheelchair-bound people out there who are married, you now have my blessing. And to all companies and buildings who don't have rock-star handicapped parking and push-button handicapped-accessible doors, burn in hell.

Oh well, at least I'm eating well and have some dumbells at home to stay partially in shape with. I won't let this overtake me like it has taken complete control of my formerly-somewhat-clean bedroom!

Seahawks lost, and I don't care ... all I have to say is ..... GO CYCLONES!!! HAWKEYES SUCK!! BIG 10 SUCKS!! GO CLONES GO CLONES GO CLONES!!!

Don't give me that shit that Drew Tate being hurt cost you the game either -- dude was 4-9 with like 50 yards and 2 int's ... if he wasn't such a worthless QB he wouldn't have had to make a tackle on one of his own interceptions in the first place. That game against Ball St. was a fluke, play a REAL team from a REAL conference and you won't even get into the end zone. Hahahaha, chokeyes suck. We've won 6 of the last 8, and Coach McCarney now has a 6-5 record against Iowa during his time at ISU... giggidy.

Ok my ankle itches like crazy today, I've had to take this boot off about 3 times to scratch it for about 5 minutes at a time, wow this is horrible. Updated pictures of my eye and ankle are on the Colorado August pictures page ... enjoy....

Sorry for the lack of updates ... been pretty busy at work. Tuesday night I went to the Fogerty/Mellencamp concert at Red Rocks with Nick, Melissa, Amanda, Megan, and Pat ... was a fantastic concert. I had no idea John Fogerty owned all of CCR's rights, so it was basically a Creedance concert at Red Rocks. In my opinion, Mellancamp took the back seat... but that's just me. And I got to thinking the other day, since he dropped the "Cougar" from his name, shouldn't Mellancamp pay homage to Anchorman and change his name to John "Sex Panther" Mellencamp? Man that'd rule.

Tonight is double-cool ... the 3rd season of The O.C. premires, (and by the way, the Sport's Guy's Q&A with Josh Schwartz is top notch) along with the 2005-2006 NFL season ... wow, what a dichotomy! What to watch? I'm no longer going to the Sport's Column on Saturday ... I really don't like being in public with my crutches .. I'll likely just stay at home. We've got a triple-header of football on Saturday .... Michigan/Notre Dame (I hate both teams), ISU/Iowa (go 'Clones!), and OSU/Texas (don't know ... hate both teams, should root for Big XII, but should root against Texas so ISU can win the Big XII title... hmm). So after wearing my ass out on the couch all day Saturday, I'll wake up on Sunday to watch NFL for the entire day... oh man, what a glorious weekend we have ahead of us.

I seriously couldn't have picked a better time to break my ankle. No hiking, no snowboarding -- just a couch, 4 tv's, and the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package.

That's my life -- a few pix from the concert will be up shortly, if Megan sends me hers I'll post them too. Adios todos.

I don't like being on crutches, it's not fun.

Had a great weekend, Mom & Dad were out here, they got me back on my feet (so to speak), we went to the Rockies game, out to Red Rocks, over to work, and hung out at home quite a bit as I'm very immobile, but had a fantastic weekend, a few pictures are up on the CO pages. Sat around on the couch/bed all day yesterday, then Lloyd and Matt showed up in the early evening en route to Iowa from Seattle .... watched some football, went out to eat, went to bed, woke up, drove to work, and here I am ... at work in the good 'ol boot, good times.

Headin' to the John Mellencamp/John Fogerty concert tonight at Red Rocks ... should be pretty sweet. Rest of the week ... hmmm, can anyone say "Sitting on my couch"? That sums up the next 8 weeks of my life. I'm not even going to the Sport's Column for the Iowa/ISU game this weekend -- never thought I'd type those words. Anyways, that's about it for today, adios todos.

So it's a short Friday of a 3-day weekend, payday was yesterday, the parents fly in tonight -- this is a good day. Won't be doing much work today, the Celebration of Mines is today so I'm going to go hang out over there most of the day and get some BBQ'd eats ... then I go see a specialist to find out if I need a permanent cast or not (Pray for "no" as I can't drive if they make me get one!), then home for awhile, then to the airport. Tomorrow is the CU/CSU game too, and we're going to the Rockies game tomorrow night. Sunday -- hmm, up in the air yet, not really sure what's going on then. But it's sure to be a great weekend!

Anyways, that's it for now... have a good weekend.

I really detest this song, and I don't honestly understand how anyone can like it, it's just awful, why do they play it so much?!

So last evening I watched 2 movies on HDNET that I've been meaning to watch for years. Cruel Intentions and Fargo.... Cruel Intentions is arguably the gayest thing I've ever seen. I flat out burst out laughing when I discovered that faggot from Studio 54's name was "Sebastian". Flaming -- Gay. After watching this movie, I've come to the conclusion that Ryan Phillippe (especially in the ridiculous scene where he gets hit by the car) is the worst actor I've ever seen. I seriuosly felt like I was supposed to be sipping a grande latte while listening to Coldplay softly in the background, Playgirl magazine neatly stacked on my coffee table, with my legs crossed on a leather couch with hardwood floors underneath me - while watching it. About 37 times during the movie, I changed the channel thinking "This is a horrendous movie, and I don't want anyone to see me watching something this ridiculously stupid." ... but then I decided I truly couldn't form a valid opinion of it unless I watched the entire thing, so I finished it. That movie .... just .... fucking .... sucks. I've heard so many people say it's their favorite movie, I just don't understand. I'd much rather watch American Idol or House, M.D. than that movie ... and trust me, that's a BOLD statement as watching those 2 ranks right up there with scraping my eyeballs out with an ice cream scooper and pouring ammonia in their vacancy. And on top of that, the movie ends with the song by The Verve (Bittersweet Symphony) playing, which is basically a mix of everything I hate about music all compiled into one very painful musical composition. From now on, whenever someone asks me what my biggest regret in life is, I will honestly reply, "Watching Cruel Intentions on purpose."

So after watching that (warning: understatement of the century is the next 4 words) lame excuse for entertainment, Fargo came on. Brilliant movie. I couldn't have been more pleased. It was almost like getting kicked in the balls, then as the pain starts to heal - someone gives you a billion dollars, fresh tortilla chips & Mad Butcher's salsa, and Michelle Trachtenberg's home phone number... incredible movie-to-movie turnaround. Spectacular, and it had one of my favorite actors in it (Steve Buscemi) which didn't hurt by any means... and I didn't know look-alike's of Bruce Willis and Drew Carey's cross-dressing brother would be in it! I LOVED the over-exaggeration of the norther-Minnesota (er, Scandanavian) accent on "YA!" .... that cracked me up and brought back memories of making fun of Beck back in the day. I loved how Marge was just calloused to everything around her and wasn't grossed-out, scared, or ever worried about anything. At home, her husband was excited about his painting although his wife just solved a huge murder/kidnapping case. Graphic violence, subtle comedy, nudity of ugly people, memories of home, this movie has everything I love about movies. Fargo receives a SOLID 4 stars, it's close to a top 10 movie for me ... spectacular. Why did I wait 9 years to watch it? Who knows.

Updated pictures of my injuries are up on the August Colorado pictures page, for lack of me being able to think of a better spot for them ... although it's September now (really?), there's a picture of me from this morning on that page too. Enjoy -- new MP3 is up too... have a great Thursday!
