Missed It

I missed the FBC ride this week. I knew I would be busy at work and there was no way I could start off the week with no sleep. But I missed a ride on the new section of highway 40. Damn.

Then Thursday I didn't go to the Coolfire party and missed midget wrestling. Double Damn.

And here is a bonus tip for you out there: If you are an ok looking girl, hang out with fat girls. It makes you way cuter.

50 for $5 Each

Each month Amazon.com has 50 albums for $5 each. It's very hit or miss. But this month there are quite a few that if you don't have them you should buy them.

Blitzen Trapper- Furr


Beastie Boys- Paul's Boutique


Minutemen- Double Nickels On The Dime 43 songs for only $5.

Bad News

The unemployed rate jumped to 10.2 percent last month, the highest since April 1983.
That means nearly 16 million people can't find jobs.

While I am happy to once again be one of the gainfully employed, I know far too many people who make up the 16 million. I really hope things get better soon or else we can easily fall into a vicious circle where employers can mistreat employees just by hanging the fact that they should be thankful they have a job over their heads.

The stimulus package worked pretty awesome, huh.

Who Does This Look Like?

A friend of mine emailed this too me. Saying, that it looks very much like a certain someone we know.

Sorry to those who aren't in St. Louis and those who have no idea who I am talking about.

But for those who do know...
Doesn't it look like him?

You come out of the store you were in and you have a big dent in your hood. How did that get there?

I'm wavering if I have it in me to stay up late enough to ride.

It will be that time of year sooner than we realize.
Who's in?

Costume

Trying to think of a couples costume idea is hard. Throw in I also need the idea to work with a beard and tattoos and its even harder. But then it came to me... Richie and Margot Tenebaum, from The Royal Tenenbaums. I think we look pretty damn good.

Music In October

It was a huge music month. I got a whopping 322 songs. There were many random songs in all of this as I have been trading songs each day with a friend of mine. Complete albums I bought were:

Alexandra Hope- Invisible Sunday
Blitzen Trapper- Furr
The Darlings- Yeah I know
The Flaming Lips- Embryonic
The Hold Steady- Boys and Girls in America
Hush Arbors- Yankee Reality
Karen O And The Kids- Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack
Mojo Nixon- 9 albums
Princeton- Cocoon of Love
Right On Dynamite- EP
Sunset Rubdown- Dragonslayer, Shut Up I Am Dreaming
T.H. White- Company Book
We All Have Hooks For Hands- The Shape of Energy
Why- Eskimo Snow

Keywords For October

Another month gone by. At least this one ends on a high note every year. Maybe every month should have a holiday on the last day. It would give everyone something to look forward to. Or dread? And now on to the stats:

2,160 Visits
618 Visitors
31 countries
36 states

There were only 51 visits from the RFT link. Not much added traffic considering I won the readers poll for best blog. Proves how easy it is to win a category that no one gives a shit about.

I would have to say that funny keyword searches that find my blog were non-existent this month. The searches were for variations of the name of the blog, porn words, names of bands and a couple of phrases that were used in posts.

THE WEATHER FUCKING SUCKS!

It is currently 1:48PM and looks like it's late in the evening out.

Just stop raining for halloween. Please.

Wine

I never used to like wine.

Not even at a restaurant. The rest of the people I would be with would order a bottle and I would stick with beer. I just wasn't a fan and I always considered myself more of a beer kind of guy.

Then when we went to Spain the drink choices were pretty much beer or sangria. We had a lot of really good sangria.

So I then thought the other night that maybe I should give wine another shot.

I like it.

Of course this makes the weeks shopping list grow. Because with both Nancy and I having a glass or two or three after work each night, we need quite a few bottle to make it through the week.

I also like to use the tall juice glasses to drink it rather than some long stemmed typical wine glass.

I would still never see myself ordering it in a bar, there I will stick with beer, but at dinner sure.

Movie Review

The Royal Tenenbaums-

Quite simply, one of the best movies ever made.

[Trivia]

[Roger Ebert Review]

H.R. 1207

Even if you read nothing more than this paragraph of this article, it will be a good thing.

With its power over interest rates and the supply of U.S. dollars, the Federal Reserve System is the most influential economic institution on the planet. That influence comes surrounded by an impenetrable aura of mystery. Hardly anyone, citizen or congressman, completely understands what the Fed does, how it operates, or what the effects of its actions will be.

Movie Review

Trick 'r Treat-


Sure this movie is dumb and you need to turn off your brain when starting it, but it was fun as hell.

Its weaves together 4 loosely tied together stories that are happening in one small town on Halloween. They all take the events to a place you weren't completely expecting.

Rent it this week. It will be a good time.

Movie Review

Paranormal Activity-

Was it an inventive way to tell a ghost story movie?

Yes.

Was it scary?

No.

I tried to go in with a clear head and not buy into all the hype that this was the scariest movie ever made. There were a couple parts that were a little creepy. But it was never scary.

Rent it when it comes out on dvd.

Alternate ending ( I am very glad they changed it. this is lame):
