Lazy Sunday + CrackDonalds



"Lazy Sunday" SNL video

Removed from youtube, you can still find this video on a few websites. Ummm, I love it? I figure there hasn't been a better SNL skit in, oh say, 3 years or so. Plus, the video does a great job of summarizing just about every single day I lived in NYC, not just Sundays. Mmmm cupcakes. (if the link doesn't work for you, do a bittorrent search)


Brokeback to the Future
Hilarious mash-up video, here on youtube.



A lot of my friends are musicians, or at least audiophiles. Some of you guys have a significant amount of vinyl sitting around collecting dust. I guess most of them don't have the money for this sick laser turntable, but it's a cool concept. Yes, vinyl does sound better than any cd or mp3 you burned and never paid the artist for. courtesy: BoingBoing

CrackDonalds

I went into a McDonalds the other day for the first time in about six months. I ate two double cheeseburgers and promptly vomited all over their filthy restroom. When I lived in Brooklyn there was one a block away that was always filled with screaming kids and ghetto thugs getting their McRib on. I ate there a few times a week and never got sick. I didn't get fat either, but I have a crazy high metabolism and I go through fitness junky phases.

The McD's by my apartment in downtown Denver is filled with the homeless and low-income families. Could this have something to do with the marketing of their low-priced, ridiculously unhealthy food to the poor urban population? Of course back in the BK this was the same scene, especially in gentrified Williamsburg. Here is a great history of
The Freaky Universe of McDonald's Advertising.
Interesting fact: All McD's in Hawaii serve Spam and Rice - Spam is a local favorite "meat".


This is my real attempt at writing a readable, entertaining blog. Not for you, silly reader. Wait, come back. I was kidding. These days I find myself sending so many emails to friends and acquaintances saying "Hey, saw this site you might like" or "Thought this article was interesting, check it out" that I have decided to jump straight on the blogging bandwagon and just post everything. Yes, everything I come across, that I read or want to read or think is interesting or have an opinion on.

In the future I will be updating with more original content - for the time being this will most likely be a collection of my reading material and interesting news stories that I like. I'm learning how to write, how to start a business, how to get out of debt, how to go back to college, how to have a relationship, how to be an adult.... I am feebly attempting to learn good design so this site will be undergoing "experiments" quite often I hope. (I know the design sucks right now, I am just starting)
I have a myriad of interests and pursuits at the moment so my posts will probably be wide-ranging and disconnected at times; just like me. Enjoi.
