I honestly wish that I could tell you why I find this blog so entertaining, but the truth of the matter is that I have no fucking idea at all. Then again if people can find solace in a picture of a cat with stupid text then I can with this.

Lack of posts

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 10:34:12 -0500

As you can obviously tell, I haven’t posted anything in a while. That’s mainly because I’ve been busy with a side project that some friends and I have started on. For no particular reason aside from the fact that we feel like it we’ve started watching AFIs 100 greatest movies and then reviewing them. None of us have any real film experience aside from being film buffs but then again I’ve seen people critique things with far less experience.

We’re also working on our own top 100 film list. I’ll have my own personal draft posted up in the next few weeks but I’d be really interested to know a few movies you’d all post on a list like that.

As I was making this playlist I realized I never got a chance to finish the #best09 thingy. And there were some in particular that I really wanted to do. So I’ll be posting just those over the next week. After that though, I have no fucking clue what I’m going to be writing about. Anyone have ideas?

officiallyrad:

Best Christmas Decorations Ever.

“Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.

Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.”

#best09 Day 17 Three in five minutes? Insane!

Fri, 25 Dec 2009 07:51:45 -0500

Day 17 Best word or phrase: A word that encapsulates your year. “2009 was _____.”

I did a lot of this, this year.

Sometimes it worked sometimes it didn’t.

Day 16 Best Tea: I can taste my favorite tea right now. What’s yours?

I can’t really speak for this. I only just recently discovered tea. By just recently I mean three days ago. I decided to buy a few bags of raspberry (I always forget that damn p). So far it’s been the best tea ever. Well I guess unless you want to count all the damn peach iced tea Snapple I drink. I don’t really think it counts though.

#best09 Day 15 Earliest post ever. I suck.

Day 15 Best Packaging Evar: Did your headphones come in a sweet case? See a bottle of tea in another country that stood off the shelves?

I honestly thought I was going to have trouble with this one. I couldn’t recall seeing at at a store or bying anything online that came in an interesting looking package. I went to (like I have for nearly every other #best09) facebook for help. Hoping that a picture somewhere would remind me of something. It did.

My friends and I started microbrewing this year. We’ve made all kinds of beer. From a Canadian Ale:

To a very tasty Chocolate covered Strawberry stout:

We even tried to dabble (and failed) at making mead:

All these labels were made either by myself or one of them. Naming and labeling our brews was part of the process and honestly I think the most entertaining.

Being that I'm hateful of all things Apple (yes even secretly my iPhone) I have trouble posting this.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

Oh no! Politics!

Day 14 Best Rush: When did you get your best rush of the year?

Probably my favorite feeling in the world is when I suggest something to someone, be it a book, a TV show, website anything. There’s something gratifying about knowing a person well enough to say to them “Read this. You will like it.” I told a friend to start reading Ender’s Game this year and then later Ender’s Shadow. He’s gone his own way now to finish the entire series. There’s nothing more gratifying than knowing that your opinions actually matter to your peers and aren’t just tossed away.

#best09 Day 11 & 12 Whaaaaat?

Day 11 The Best Place: A coffee shop? A pub? A retreat center? A cubicle? A nook?

I don’t think I can respond to this post well. Not because I haven’t discovered any new places to hang out anything of the sort but because I am a firm believer in the idea that it’s not the place that makes a location exciting, but that people you share it with. I could tell you of all about the new and exciting bars I’ve found, all the comfortable patches of grass in Central Park or the toy stores in The Village but it would be pointless. It wasn’t the places that made them great it was the people I shared them with. And that’s all I have to say about that.

Day 12 Best New Food: You’re now in love with Lebanese food and you didn’t even know what it was in January of this year.

Sushi, it’s that plain and simple. I have discovered that I actually have a fondness for sushi. Not all of it though but that’s mainly because I’m allergic to shellfish. Salmon Nigiri is by far my favorite.
