a store dog
There has been a lot of talk lately about getting a store dog. And you know what I always say... don't talk about it, be about it.
'bout it 'bout it.
a christmas coat?
I was shopping around the world wide web for a winter coat when I came across this:
At first I thought it was sort of pretty, but then something popped into my head. click the pic to find out what.

Happy Thanksgiving Everybody!
It's 8:41am and I'm already up making brussel sprouts for tonight's feast. my house smells like a fart and I'm super excited about the upcoming parade. Only problem is I don't have a television. For anyone who shares my sorrow, here's a helpful solution:
The parade can be viewed live via webcam by clicking the picture above. I recommend using camera one and playing THIS radio station in another tab. I never really liked listening to Al and Meredith anyway.
Next up is the National Dog Show presented by Purina.. this one is a little more complicated. It looks like HULU will be airing the show later today, but that's no good. My solution is watch the 2007 National Dog Show by clicking the picture:
then GOOGLE the winner at 2pm. No one will know!
thank you modern technology.

back to my roots
most of you probably don't know this but I actually went to school for film production... and I'm kind of a geek about indie films (real indie films). Anyhoo, I'm watching this kind of stuff before bed...

Turbaconducken (Turducken Wrapped in Bacon)
Apparently a 'turducken' is the common name for a turkey stuffed with a duck stuffed with a chicken... or is it a chicken stuffed with a duck?
either way just add bacon for a 'turbaconducken' and watch me puke!

something wrong with bump and grind
a road-raging-assmilker has ruined my friday night and my shitty car. I was driving home from the burbs with chi chi when I noticed a tailgater in a pick-up truck. just as I said, 'look at how close this guy is driving to me', WHAMO! I got bumper-fucked. an intentional hit! then, said rager sped off at about 90mph. my first instinct was speed up and get this goons license plate, but my meager saab was no match to his hemi power. chi chi called 911 and we filed an accident and crime report with the police. now my back is sore and I can't sleep. only perk was I got to sit in the back of a police car for the first time.... I was mclovin' it.
and fyi, the back seat of police car doesn't have door handles... I never thought about that!
but in all seriousness, I'm glad me and my passenger are ok.

ugh alert
Buffalo definitely knows how to take a dinosaur size shit right on your head. With this ever-sunny weather and the small-town quaintness... it makes me wanna puke up my intestines and use them as a noose.
Anyways... I've def been feeling like crap the past 2 days and I decided I need to get over it. I tried googling the meaning of life, but that didn't help. And since skipping town isn't really an option for the young entrepreneur, I'll have to settle with what I have. Thus becomes my first deep thought of the deep thought series...'living happily ever after'
Our generation, myself included, is under the impression that there is always something more to be had... always another rung on the ladder of life.
The first 20+ years of our life we're seasoned to think in milestones, then when school is over we set our own ridiculous goals, but when do we stop? When are we ever going to be happy if we always think there is something more waiting for us?.... damn grown-ups and their aspirations of college degrees and self-fulfillment... who put this idea in our heads?
And what is self-fulfillment? Find me one person in this entire world that doesn't need another human in their life to be happy. Even the most egotistical, 'I don't need anyone because I'm so damn special', types need an audience or they will crumble.
We're a generation of instant gratification as well. Did well on a test? GOLD STAR! Want sushi? WEGMANS GOT IT! Feeling lonely? Send a text, make a call, twitter, facebook, go to the bar, whatever. We're so afraid to do life alone, that we've developed a communication-power-house. We need rewards, especially the reward of other people telling us 'good job!' Without it, life just doesn't feel like your living.
Back in the caveman days you just hit a bear with a stick, killed it, hit a woman with a stick, dragged her home, told her to cook the bear, and then ate the damn bear and smiled and grunted about it the whole time. Life was so easy then, when you really had to work hard for the simple things. Even just one generation back there was some work ethic fluttering about. Now, with the whole big scary world at our fingertips, we don't know what the hell we want, we just know it's out there and we want it.
In this overstimulated all-access world, we've forgotten how to set our sights on something, achieve it, and EMBRACE IT. It's always the fairy tale adventure with us, never the happily ever after. I wanna know, Does the story stop when you settle? Does life just get shitty and boring, or is that when it finally starts to take on some meaning? I think I've been dicking around too long. The good life is here and I'm wasting it looking around for the gooder one.
All I know is: I've got a pretty rad group of friends, a solid business, a shitty car, an apartment with free heat, and a great family... I think it's time to snuggle up to this life I'm livin' in and make the most of it. So tomorrow I'm getting my hair cut, hanging out with Matt, and going to dinner with my besties Jenn and Ashley. It's gonna be a good day and I want for nothing. Simple livin' is the new ballin' out of control. And when Buffalo hands you dino-turds... well at least they're probably warm. Get cozy it's going to be another long winter.
stay tuned for more deep thoughts:
show some respect (for yourself)
the accidental generation
it is what it is
and
you can't change people you can only change yourself

what the doctor ordered
In an attempt to find out where the name 'Dr. Pepper' started, I came across this tidbit on Wikipedia....
"in a unique marketing strategy, Dr. Pepper have reportedly entered a dare of sorts between themselves and Guns N' Roses front man Axl Rose. They have stated that if Axl Rose manages to release his new album, Chinese Democracy, in 2008, they will give everyone in America a free Dr. Pepper except for former Guns N' Roses guitarists Slash and Buckethead. Chinese Democracy, which has been in the works for seventeen years, has since been dated for November 23, 2008. They will keep up their end of the bargain by offering coupons on their website for 24 hours on the date of release."

breaker breaker this is firebrand good buddy
I'm on a mission to increase communication along the Elmwood Strip. So now, my good blog readers, I present to you mission 'ElmwoodStripNiner, What's your 20?'
The mission goes like this: find CB radios and distribute them to local cool people and businesses along The Elmwood Strip. Next, plug those shits in and CB all fuckin' day! This way all the cool kids along the block can keep up with each other's haps. Genius, I know.
To prepare you, I've pnged 'B' section of a very long list of CB radio slang:
See you at the Beaver Palace... Over and Out!
