Bronco Bananza!!!

Such jeep talk around these parts lately. So and so just got a jeep, doing this, doing that. Ya know, 4x4's, mud, speed. The usual.

Well, it didn't take long for this heat wave to hit me. I've been googling various models, but one keeps sparking my eye. And I just had to blog this! gem.

1966-1977 Ford Bronco.
Same classic shape for 11 years. Boxy design, 302 engine, 3-speed, standard 4x4. What a sand/beach cruiser!

Nevertheless, I may never own a jeep in my life. But if I ever get the chance to acquire one. They can sign me up for a Bronco.

Who likes words here? You Sir, in the first row?

Time to blog some words that are so cool, Mr. freeze ain't got nothin' on them.

"righteous"--You drop this bomb in a convo, and people go bananas.
"arrested"--Not in reference to Police. Such as "He arrested the fire with a splash of water." Hhaha!!

"bitchin'"--In reference to something that is unbelieveable.
"impossible"--That girl's impossible.

"excellent"--As agreeing. Excellent, lets bolt! Haha!!


More to come! Stay tuned....

Instructions....ya gimme one of those!?!

How many times as a kid have you rushed home after purchasing a new toy, game, truck, rubix cube, Happy Meal, or whatever, only to find some instructions?

Now following the male stereotype, I should be able to complete any task without instructions. Well fuck stereotypes! When I purchase a barbeque and I open the box and it looks like a bag of marbles with a few LEGO blocks thrown in there. I'm gonna take the high road and choose the instructions.

Which leads me to the purpose of this rant. Poorly instructed instructions. <<< There's a mouthful. Now, wouldn't it be great if instruction booklets were like those pre-school coloring books? Yes?-No? Seriously, one enourmous picture per page, with as little detail as possible. Perhaps, they could even incorporate you into it, little hands with dotted lines showing your each step. This would be the ultimate guide to a successful completion, except for the fact each booklet would run at least 100pages. But it would be easy and simple.

Too many of these "instruction booklets" are being produced by scientists. Best scientist voice: "Ya Jeff, can you get these barbeque prints cut and sequenced for Monday morning sharp?" Haha!!
In this particular department, science needs to take a serious backseat to art.

Its the only way, I tells'ya.

~A Life Less Ordinary

I hadn't seen this movie in a dog's age. It was one of those movies that just clicked for me. Even though it is sort of quirky at times, I like it. A heist, guns, and Cameron Diaz's good looks. What more could a fellar ask for?

Your favorite Sesame Street Star.

COOKIE MONSTER!!<<< Okay, the caps were a little loud. But hey, so is he!

How could anyone hate this guy? Unless he's eating your cookies, there should be no beef with Cookster. With those crazy eyes, and that blue jumpsuit. Fuckin' Epic!

I would take this guy over Big Bird, or Elmo any day. He has style and he loved cookies. Who doesn't love cookies?  Posted by Hello

Wow...I love skateboarding. What would I be without it.  Posted by Hello

Holy Schnickes Batman!!

You know whats weird? The cell-phone craze that has exploded everywhere. Soon monkeys will be using them to communicate. They are that simple!! *Best AT&T voice*

However this craze never really occured to me until just other day. I stroll out into the street, and a guy on a bicycle zings by me talking on his cell phone. I was utterly amazed! Where has this world taken us, that we now have to talk on the phone while riding a bike. Haha! I mean seriously could this person not wait until he arrived at his destination?

What kind of a phone call was this, that it needed to be taken while riding a bike? Could it have been important? Was it a momentous discovery? Was it undercover? Not Likely!!! We all know it was just some bullshit call to his girlfriend telling her to take the lasagna out of the oven. Craziness I tell'ya!

Next on the list: waterproof cell-phones, because too many asshats took them waterskiing.
Ya heard it here first.

Western Night

Yahoo!! An occasion to rock the cowboy hat! And I'm not even in the pictures. Ha!

This pic is where everyone began, at Justin's Apt. We had a lot of fun there, as you can tell by the next picture.

Worn me down....

Worn me down like a road.
Worn me down to my knees.
But you can’t stop thinking about her.
No, you can’t stop thinking about her.

Gone - she’s gone.
How do you feel about it?
That’s what I thought.
You’re real torn up about it.
And I wish you the best
And I will because you’ve worn me down
Oh, I will because you’ve worn me down

Another melangé of lyrics from a song.
