Lakers!!

Went to the Laker game last night with a friend. They played the Cleavland Cavaliers. The Cavs got destroyed. It was literally a franchise record for least points allowed by opponents. Even though it was a blow out game it was still a fun game to go to.

In other news. I have not KMF'd in quite some time. I will need to do that again soon.

Funny Rant

I stole this from mcsweney.net but it was funny.

I swear to fucking God, if I come home this Christmas and find out my parents are still unplugging their computer from the wall when they want to turn it off, I will fucking snap.


Seriously, how fucking hard can it be?

Click START, then click SHUT DOWN.

That's a TWO-step process that for the past 10 years in a row I've had to sit down with you assholes and explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain, re-explain and re-explain START, then SHUT DOWN! START, THEN SHUT DOWN!!!

What, in the precise two-step process—that I've written down and given to you on numerous occasions—do you not get?

"But Jason," Dad will say, "it's confusing that I have to click START in order to shut something down. That just seems counter intuitive."

Oh is it, Alan? Is it counter intuitive? Would it help if, instead of a START icon, Microsoft created an icon that looked like a 63-year-old retired accountant with back problems bending over to unplug his computer from the wall? Would that kind of visual be less "counter intuitive"? Apparently it would because every FUCKING year I come home and find that you've been resorting to exactly that kind barbarism.
But it ends here! DO YOU HEAR ME, ALAN? It ends here!

You and Mom had better brace for the possibility that one of you is going to walk into the family room someday and find the other electrocuted, lying in pile of their own shit next to the computer, because that's what's in your future if you keep unplugging it from the wall rather than following my VERY simple instructions!

And GODDAMMIT, STOP PRINTING OUT HARD COPIES OF ALL YOUR EMAILS!

My face

I am growing a beard. Reviews have been mixed from GRRRRRR to AHHHHHHHH.

I don't know why I am doing it, but I am at day 15 with shaving the main part. I do some trimmage to give the illusion of some sort of order, but it is really just going on it's own. People have said I look older. So since I am 27 I must look about 29.

I am aiming for a Joaquin Phoenix thing.

The holiday are here

On a previous blog years ago. I had mentioned the fact that Starbucks releases those damn Christmas cups so early. I think I am beginning to get over that. I like them. They remind me of a happier time. I am a pretty humbled person. I feel that I have been very fortunate growing up. So Christmases around the home as a child really were a time of joy. My parents definitely did a great job of keeping the spirit alive. They did a good job of showing me the importance of helping the less fortunate. I remember one Xmas we gave out sack lunches to the homeless that we had made. That had a very strong influence on me even to this day.

Moving on. You know what bothers me? When people have a heavy step. There is a person here who walks hard. It shakes my computer and desk and chair and inner being. Damn that bugs me.

If you have not seen 127 Hours you must. I keep  seeing more and more commercials and I really want to go see it. I probably will during the TG weekend. Although I will want to avoid the malls like the plague that weekend, so it will have to be a standalone theater.

I am going to go off roading this weekend. Look for a picture sum up of that excursion in the coming weeks. I know you can't stand the excitement.

Speaking of Thanksgiving, next week is the week. Turkey, football and family and turkey. In that order. My mom can really sling a turkey. She makes the best gravy literally in the world. There is nothing like it. I would be as happy as a pig in shit with white turkey meat, gravy, white rice and black beans. Pretty much my TG night.

Ok that is all. Do something for the needy. Not everyone has a good Thanksgiving.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Disneyland has started to put up their X-mas decor, Starbucks has been using their holiday cups for a week and my sister already sent me her X-mas list. Nothing like a Christmas list on Nov 1 to get you into the holiday mode. I don't even know where I will be this Christmas. I think it's my turn for a local Christmas. Seems so far away, but only 47 shopping days left. I usually do pretty well Christmas shopping thanks to Amazon. Gotta love their wish lists and ease of shipping. If you would like to spring for a Christmas gift for me, loyal reader, then here is a link to what I currently have an eye on.

Last week a Portos Bakery finally opened up in Downey, CA. I say finally because it was something like 14 months behind schedule. It opened only 3 miles from where my parents live. I can foresee many side trips on visits to my parents house.

Speaking of Call of Duty: Black Ops that comes out tomorrow. There is a great commercial with Jimmy Kimmel and the Black Mamba himself, Kobe Bryant.



It's a really funny commercial. Some people have been giving it flack because it adds a lightheartedness to war, but seriously, I play the game for fun. I really don't understand people sometimes. I mean the game is rated M it's not for kids it's for people who can separate reality from fiction. Tomorrow I will be blowin some shit up with my friends for as long as I can keep my eyes open. I am coming for you Trevy, I will stab you in the back and not give a shit about it, then Tea-Bag your corpse.
No fancy schmancy headsets will save you from the Xterror
