i was against facebook apps until bumper stickers came along

29 08 2008

“The world would be a better place if everyone just sent out 3 bumper stickers a week, ya know?” –M.J. Sylvest

I could not agree with that statement more. I love getting bumper stickers and until recently I didn’t send out that many, I would just re-gift ones that I got and figured someone else would like. Then I thought about how I feel when I receive one and I realized everyone should get that feeling all the time.

  • When you’re bored in class…send out bumper stickers.
  • When you’re bored in your room…send out bumper stickers.
  • When you should be doing school work but somehow your studies brought you to facebook instead…send out those damn bumper stickers
  • When you just showered and are having a couple drinks but still waiting for the roommates to get ready for the night…send out a few bumper stickers.

The bumper sticker app would probably be shit without someecards.

Usually it takes about 20 minutes of sifting through pictures of weezy, edward cullen (whoever the fuck that is), heath ledger, and stupid ass girl quotes that make little to no sense (i think its so funny when girls get those sayings as tattoos because it has no bidness bein on their bodies they should stay in aim profiles) before I find one I can send to someone. When I do find that perfect one and it makes me laugh out loud in class its all worth it. Not to mention, class is 20 minutes closer to being over.

The best ones by far are those clever ass someecards with the old school pictures that don’t go with the phrases at all. Whoever was the first person to go to that website and put one of those cards on there deserves a prize. At first I thought they were actually made for facebook, but then one day I got curious and just typed in the address and found the website. Apparently they just make funny e-cards.

I tried to upload a sticker a few times but it never worked so i gave up. But its more fun searching for them anyways because its kinda cheating if you just make your own.

I can never get enough of this video.

Flavors of the Week

25 08 2008

Girl: Hilarie Burton. She used to be a VJ on mtv and she was always pretty good looking but something about her curly hair just didn’t do it for me. Then I started watching one tree hill (I had 2 weeks off when i got my tonsils out so I had to do something and becca gave me the first 3 seasons to watch now i can’t stop) and I just love that little accent and when she straightens her hair it just looks so damn good. Basically, she’s a blonde cheerleader and thats all you need to be a flavor of the week.

I'm in love with P.Sawyer

I am in love with P.Sawyer

Movie: tie- Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder. I saw them on back to back days because i was a little behind the pineapple bandwagon but either way both are fucking hilarious. Danny McBride makes appearances in both and that guy cracks me up.

Activity: Basketball. We have a brand new court literall right outside our door at school and I plan on playing everyday even though I suck really bad.

Rediculous Patriots News: People are making a big deal about the fact that Tom Brady isn’t playing in the preseason. We know he can play, we just don’t have a good backup so we need to let them get some time in to prove themselves. Brady’s “injury” will be fine come season time. He doesn’t move in the pocket anyways plus Belichick is notorious for inventing injuries so people can get time off. Randy Moss didn’t play a single snap in last years preseason and he went on to break the NFL touchdown reception title. The person who threw him those passes? Tom Brady. 19-0 this year. You heard it here first





The US Election Through Irish Eyes

11 08 2008

I just got this email from my dad. It was forwarded to him from someone who got it from a guy from ireland. It describes the presidential election perfectly.I love how he refers to the states as the colonies at the end

“We, in Ireland, can’t figure out why you people are even bothering to hold an election in the United States.

On one side, you had a pants wearing female lawyer, married to another lawyer who can’t seem to keep his pants on, who just lost a long and heated primary against a lawyer, who goes to the wrong church, who is married to yet another lawyer, who doesn’t even like the country her husband wants to run !

Now…On the other side, you have a nice old war hero whose name starts with the appropriate ‘Mc’ terminology, married to a good looking younger woman who owns a beer distributorship !!

What in God’s name are ya lads thinking over in the colonies!”





I really hate clowns

He's a freak, but I've always left an exception for the joker he never scared me.

I have a severe dislike for clowns. I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of them, well at least not anymore, I just hate them alot. I really hate them. It mostly stems from the TV show “Are You Afraid of the Dark” that used to be on Snick(i’m thinking about dedicating a post to snick and the big orange couch at some point). The Midnight Society sat around a campfire and told scary stories most notable the one about Zeebo the clown (“The Tale of the Laughing in the Dark”) who lived in a maze at the local carnival and smoked cigars.Some fuckstick decided to steal Zebo’s clown nose and Zebo got ripshit and started terrorizing this kid. Bad move fuckstick, badmove. That shit gave me nightmares for years, I got over the trauma recently when I watched the episode online and realized due to the production value of the show it couldn’t possibly scare anyone over the age of 8.

Scariest fuckin bed i've ever seen.

Scariest fuckin bed i've ever seen.

The second development in my hatred of clowns was the episode of the simpsons when a young Bart gets a clown bed that creeps the shit out of him. One day Homer and Marge leave Bart in the care of nextdoor neighbor and Jesus freak Ned Flanders. Bart sleeps with Rod and Todd Flanders and keeps looking out the window at his scary bed. He had a nightmare that the clown was going to chase him and eat him, so i too thought that clowns were going to chase and eat me. Its kinda ironic that as Bart grows up his idol becomes Krusty the Clown.

Running into a clown in this place is not my idea of a good time.

So one Saturday night Cummins asked me to work at Kitty O’Sheas (a bar in boston on state street) for him because they were really hurting for people. So I drove in and parked at 75 state st in the parking garage there. They have a huge beautiful foyer that you walk out into and its all marble and echoes like crazy. So, needless to say I’m a little out of it, and I walk off the elevator and i’m the only person in the big foyer as I head towards the door about a hundred yards away.

Then all of a sudden I hear the echoes. Someone was going “coo-coo…coo-coo”. I look around and there is nobody in sight so I keep walking towards the door. “Coo-coo…coo-coo”. I spin around and theres nobody behind me, as I come around for the full 360 a fucking clown pops out from behind a pillar and runs past me towards the elevator. I almost shit my pants and I would have gone back to my car and drove home instead of going to work had he not gone to the elevator. I wanted to get out of there more than anything in the world and I just headed to work and tried to push it out of my memory…but I never did and it still haunts me. Clowns are evil and they should all be dead.





Flavor of the Week 08.08.08

7 08 2008

Girl: Gretchen Bleiler

Hot in the cold.

Hot in the cold.

Song: The Good Life by Kanye i’ve always loved this song. Just saw the video recently and I love it, kanye is so creative and he does not cease to impress with this one.

Movie: Step Brothers. I can’t imagine a funnier movie coming out this year if you haven’t seen it go out and watch it this weekend. I got my tonsils out and went to see this movie a few days later and laughed so hard that I legit couldn’t talk to sly and my brother on the ride home.

Activity: I’ve been watching alot of One Tree Hill since I got my tonsils out and can’t do anythign all day and don’t have the motivation to update the blog. I started with season one episode one and have watched nearly 2 whole seasons in a week. Its no OC but it keeps me amused.

Least favorite activity: Six Flags. Too many people. Too many lines. Too much money.





Manny Rolls California Blunts

4 08 2008
Gonna miss this dude

Gonna miss this dude

Just like most celtics fans I own a couple of the shirts. “Beat LA.” I wear it and I mean what it says on the shirt. When the celts play the lakeshow I want nothing more than to beat the shit out of kobe and his associates. But on the other hand I have always said I want to live in Los Angeles for a year after I graduate college and now I’ve even considered buying a Dodger fitted. Ever since I was first bit by the acting bug in third grade, I have longed to live there and it seems like things just keep urging me towards this destination. The latest installment: Manny fucking Ramirez my favorite baseball player was traded to the dodgers. You know what? He looks pretty good in Dodger blue too.

I have nothing against the Dodgers, in fact I actually like them because they have so many Red Sox that I used to love (manny, nomar, d-lowe, billy mueller) and they cause no threat to the American League. Manny being traded to LA is almost as big as when David Beckham went to LA, huge celebrities belong in that city. Boston is a sports town and Manny owned the media here, but now he’s not just a sports celeb he’s a fuckin LA celeb. Its only a matter of time before he starts getting into rap songs and hangin out with gangbangers and being involved in gunfights at clubs. I bet he’ll do a couple of movies if not just some music videos in the near future. He’s going to be very happy because he clearly smokes alot of weed and everyone knows that Cali has the best, he’s probably going to even cross the border from time to time to get his shipments. Wouldn’t be surprised if he starts working with Guillermo and brings the mota across in pounds and pounds.

Here are some movie scenarios I think Manny would be perfect for.

Arrogant baseball star

Drug dealer

Inner-city art teacher with a cocaine habit that fuels his abuse of women

Helicopter pilot in the 70s that dodged the war because he fled to Cuba where he picked up an accent

Dog-catcher who raises his nephew as his son in an attempt to breed an NFL kicker from birth

Plastic Surgeon with a lisp who is also a bookie involved in the NBA-referee scandal

I miss him already but I know that we have not heard the last from Manny Ramirez and hopefully he will be talked about for years to come. Manny being Manny doesn’t just end, and I’m glad he didn’t go to some obscure team like the Brewers where his antics would fall on deaf ears. Joe Torre has a new lease on life from his stingy ass demeanor he held in New York and I think Manny will get even happier being on the left coast. I hope he fights Jeff Kent soon and then makes some rediculous comments about it on ESPN. Quite frankly, I don’t even know what to say about the guy he’s just the man and now he’s going to tear up National League pitching (2 homers in 3 games…just the beginning).

I’m rambling but thats what happens when you’re in love. I love manny and my devotion doesn’t stop just because he got traded. I’m holding off on buying a jersey because his contract is up at the end of the year and he’s probably going somewhere else. We can only hope he stays in tinsel town and causes a media ruckus for the next few years.

Robblee being Manny (I’m going to update this blog when I get more ideas about Manny but for now I’m just posting it as is)
