Anybody else think that this billboard accurately captures our lives right now?

Militant Mickey Mouse pulled off Palestinian air

This seems wrong on so many levels. I'm left completely speechless. Yet at the same time, I get this strange feeling that all those GI Joe cartoons so many years ago might have similarly affected me.

My life, as I know it, is over.

It's hard to believe I took my last final today, and I'll never have another class again. I have been going to school since I was five. What am I going to do now? (Besides work over 40 hours per week and pay $21,000 for the priviledge.)

Anybody have any advice? It would be much appreciated.

(By the way, FBG Breweries, Toronto Canada is NOT the same as Carlton and United Breweries, Melbourne, Australia.)

umm... yum?

10 points to whoever remembers where this picture came from and what we were doing that night.

the most inconsistently-toned blog post ever!

I was going to post this on the jerfgoke blog, but figured that none of you probably ever check it anymore since it hasn't been updated in almost a year. I'm going to make a one year post-iversary entry when the time comes around. As a wise man never actually said, "I'm like Haley's comet, only blog when I got it."

Anyhoo. Got a lot on my mind today. Supposed to be reading for class which starts in an hour, but can't because my mind is full of cobwebs and little banshees. Yes, I do personify the voices in my head as creatures from the "Ghostbusters" animated series (and not the lame Ghostbusters, but the cool one with the gorilla.) It's a long story that I don't really want to get into, but let's just say that lately I feel like Uncle Rico stuck in my has-been days and wishing I had at least tested the waters of some other opportunities. I hardly feel that my destiny is set to be where I am now. I should have been the next M Night Shymalan—or however you spell it—except that my movies wouldn't suck. Rather than rehash the same clichéd formula with a ridiculous twist at the end I would rehash cheezy Indiana Jones movies or Run Lola Run ripoffs. And no, I would not be doing this as a porn director, you sick-o. ((On a side note, I just checked my bottle top—I won a free 20oz Mountain Dew with the purchase of another 20oz dew. Woo hoo.)) Ok, back to reality.

Is it just me, or does anybody else need a change of scenery right now? I think the zeitgeist of the moment seems that way. Reading other blogs right now gives that impression. ((One more side note: if you drive a Corolla for a few months and go back to driving a Focus, it totally feels like you're driving a go-kart. Try it!)) Slick is the only one who never seems to be affected by, what's the word? Ummm... I think it was in a Rammstein song. Maybe Herzeleid? Anyway, my Herzeleid is calling me, so it's time to get to class, zone out, and let the animated ghouls pick me apart for three hours until I can get home and watch American Idol. Such is the life of jerfgoke these days, and I suspect many other Americans.

free advice of the day

Here is some advice for the day, available free of charge.

"If you're going to the fair, never wear clothing with your name on it. The carnies won't leave you alone."

Food for thought.

High School Revisited

"you know why i like high school girls?"


I was looking over some of the old posts and I stumbled upon the one above in particular. (Read it before continuing.) It never grabbed my attention at the time it was posted, but this time it jumped out at me and I totally know exactly what you're saying about high school romance. Your world was just so much smaller, and you had a really small pot to choose from, so to speak. It felt like when something didn't work out, a big piece of that world was taken away and you had a whole lot fewer options (Being that not only do you lose him/her but all of their friends are basically off-limits too). That's why everything feels exaggerated and the slightest thing seems devastating. Being opened up to the real world now, there are a whole hell of a lot more options. That's why looking back it seemed like being in a bubble.



Maybe that's why so many guys and girls carelessly become such, basically for lack of a better word, whores. Their bubble finally opened up, and they'll jump into anything without caring if they actually care about the other person, because they know if it doesn't work out they have plenty of other options to go with. Then you end up with, well, the world that we currently live in. These people that get devastated by one of these (precisely the right words) pricks/bitches just can't trust that great person when they find them. So everybody's in a world of hurt.




*Disclaimer*
There are always exceptions. Don't read this and think (or think that I think) there is no hope and no matter what everyone is screwed. Things still work out. (Usually... and probably with much more pain and suffering than is necessary.) Just remember to keep your eyes open and your thinking straight. With all those options, you don't need to jump into something that just doesn't feel right.

Watch out for those "pricks/bitches," but watch closer for that sincere soul.















(Though, that great person isn't always the right person... You see how flippin complex our world is??)

ready to rumble?

Who's ready to play me in some Ice Hockey action on the Wii? Shorties, fatties, and skinnies for the win!

BTW, if my count is correct, slick's blog has over 50 posts, this one has about 30, and mine has a measly two. I can't figure out how many noturn and gandhi have, but I bet it's more than two. Treat yourself to some twizzlers fruit twists on me.

crazy delicious

Ever wonder about the difference between Mr. Pibb and Pibb Xtra? We all know that it's crazy delicious. But what's better? What about Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper? I vote for Pibb.

Another link to a pretty amazing rap impersonator. I especially like the jay-z.

ps3 schadenfreude

Still about 8 hours to launch and things are already getting hectic. It's going to be a crazy night...

In one story:

"According to a television station, a group of PS3 line-waiters got angry when they were told they could no longer wait inside a Wal-Mart for the PS3 and would have to go outside instead. The group ran through the store knocking everyone and everything in their path over."

In another:

"the façade of civilized behavior almost sloughed away around 7:30 a.m., when Sony employees ordered most of the crowd to relocate onto the sidewalk immediately in front of the SonyStyle store on Fourth Street. Immediately, many began to rush to the front, and, according to those waiting in line, "things got ugly" when a scuffle nearly broke out."

And another:

"At a Wal-Mart in West Bend Wisconsin, a scuffle broke out among the approximately 60 people waiting in line for the store's allocation of 10 PlayStation 3 units. When the crowd found out the systems would be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis, pushing and shoving broke out, sending one system hopeful face-first into a telephone pole. Police say an ambulance had to be called to the scene."

And one more:

"In Lexington, Kentucky three line-sitters and one local news reporter were hit with pellets when a drive by shooter took aim at the waiting crowd outside the Nicholasville Road Best Buy."
