Another week passes
Well, not much is going on right now. At least not that much that would provide fun stories to tell (translation: I haven't been getting drunk enough to do stupid things). Nevertheless, I haven't posted for a while so I figured what the hell, why not just get on here and blab away for a while. I did go to Victory Field to watch the Indians play for the first time since they moved from Bush. That was a fun time, and I got a free, stress-relieving ambulance. We also got on the big screen and I got to be the guy that points at us on the big screen and then waves. I had always hoped that when it was my time on there, I would do something more interesting, but they really don't give you much time to think. I also played basketball yesterday, and actually won a game of 21, fancy that. What can I say, my short-range fieldgoals were hot (for about one game). Yup, thats about it. Jae hit a shot, while playing pool at Joe's, that leapt off the table and rolled under the next pool table, out of the big, open front window, past a parked car, and finally settled in the middle of the road. It was awesome!...Eh. Still unemployed, but getting closer; I can feel it.
Oh yeah,

5 funniest may 2004
Well, as I was trying to think of something to blog about tonight, I came across a fairly unoriginal idea that I thought might be fun. Rather than tell some story from my life, I would surf around for awhile on the web and come up with what I found to be the 5 funniest sites and provide links to them. Now before you get excited about seeing the best that the web has to offer, keep in mind that these are 5 sites that I came up with in an hour and a half. Some of the sites are meant to be funny others I just happen to find funny. I am hoping to do this monthly or bi-monthly and hopefully will be able to look stuff up ahead of time for future articles. Anyhow, don't worry, my next post will more than likely be back to the old "so there I was" story format. But for now, enjoy (I hope).
X-Entertainment: Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 1984: It probably is no surprise that the first item on the list is from Matt Caracappa's X-Entertainment. This is my second favorite article ever from the site, and it is a monster of a thing. Check this one out if you have some time on your hands. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even have a couple of birthdays in the process.
Mojo from Joe Millionaire's site: For those of you who have been reading this site for some time, you may recall that one entry details a night when Jae and I hung out with (the) Mojo from Joe Millionaire at get this, Average Joe's. Well, it just so happens that she has a website, and it is funny. Not funny ha ha, but funny sad. In my opinion there is plenty to find amusing on this self-gratifying, wannabe celeb page, but the best stuff is under the link labeled "buy." Check it out, it won't take near as long as the macy's article.
Making a Watson's commercial: Keep in mind that I really threw this list together. As such, I figured if one lame Indy sort-of-celebrity's website was funny to me, why not check out the Watson's girl's site. Unfortunately, most of it was lame in a way very similar to that of Mojo's site. Then I stumble on this little gem. The site itself isn't all that funny, but the fact that it exists is. I mean, is there really anything to a Watson's commercial? "We've got pools, saunas, and hottubs all at the lowest prices of the summer!!! That's Watson's!!!" The production of this kind of genius surely needs to be documented for posterity.
Darling, You Were Well Worth the Nine Goats: Well, what would a humor list from me really be with out something really wrong on it. This article really tickled my evil funny bone. If you feel that you are easily offended, don't check this one out. Disclaimer: I found this funny, but did not take it seriously. After all, it is from the onion. There, I have covered myself.
Fluffy: Now that I have gotten the wrong out of my system, it is time for the final item on this list. This last one is just a simple cute picture that made me laugh. Its not that I found it hilarious, but I just found it so damned irresistably cute that I couldn't not include it. Enjoy.
Thus, the May 2004 list of 5 funniest things I could find come to an end. I hope that you have enjoyed it. This is certainly the longest amount of time I have ever spent on a blog entry. Thank you for bearing with me. If you are thirsty for more check out my runners up. Otherwise, thats all I got.
Hilariously,

Runners Up:
T-Shirt Hell: Truly, a funnier site than some above, but what can I say about it? It has a bunch of funny T-Shirts?
Nerds being mean to normal people: I'm a nerd. So what? I am not vindictive. These nerds are, and for some reason their sad lives made me laugh. If they ever read this, they might try and cyber kick my ass.
The filthy critic lives: He claimed to be dead for a while. Thats why I said that. This is an absolute lambasting of Van Helsing, that I enjoyed (beware, full of spoilers).
The Spark romance card: This is an old favorite of mine, although I don't like the music that has been added. Fin.

The tale of the wal-mart nap
Well, I was going to wait another day or so to update, you know, make it an even month, but due to overwhelming public demand (Kate) I have decided to step up to the plate early. So lets get a quick update on the last month:
1. Still unemployed.
2. My cousin Mandy is now married.
3. I got a haircut.
4. I finally saw kill bill.
5. I now somehow really like the song "Chattahoochee."
6. I still am not any good at making lists.
Why is that? Other people have lists in their blogs all the time, but when I try to do one I get stuff like "I got a haircut". Good one. Oh well, on to other things. I had my interview in Chicago for the position in Japan. I feel like I did really well, but I have no delusions. If I get it, I get it. If I don't then I have wasted the last month of my worklife holding out for it. No worries.
Other than that, I went to Hanover this week. It was ok. I know this is not the best subject for blogging as none of my Hanover friends ever read this thing, so I will just hit the highlights. Thats right, I am going to attempt another list!!!
1. Slept face down on the floor with my arms crossed across my chest. (very uncomfortable)
2. Tried to sleep by the river. (too many bugs, and Jae needed socks)
3. Tried to sleep at Wal-Mart. (too nervous from awkward stares)
4. Slept at the library.
5. Played Frank Sinatra's "My Way" to clear a room of dancing/grinding folks so I could sleep quietly on the room's couch. (the floor was very uncomfortable)
Well, you see where this is going. Its kind of bad when all of your highlights involve sleep, or the pursuit of it. I guess the main lesson here is to never let me DJ your party when I am ready to go to sleep. However, just so you know, and don't think I am too much of a hard-core buzz assasin, this was at 4:00 am, and the rooms owner told me it was cool (he wanted to sleep too). I really don't think I needed to explain myself there, but I have a reputation to uphold. I get the sense that I am starting to ramble, so I am going to cut it off here. Until next time, true believers!!!
