"The reality is just that I’ve reached a new level of meta-irony."
Hah! I hate hipsters.
"Hey guys, long time no see, toss me a PBR—actually, better make it a Coors Light. I know, I look different, but before you all start saying how I look like some midtown suit, let me explain. I haven’t gone pleb on you, I’m actually a neo-hipster now. It’s basically where you’re a hipster, but since hipsterism has gone so mainstream you dress and act like a regular person, ironically."
"It’s like this. In the morning when I wake up, I’ll put on a pair of skinny jeans and a Sonics t-shirt—but then when it’s time to go out, I’ll ironically slap on a pair of runners, some blue jeans, and a no-name golf shirt I ironically bought at Target. And those thick-rimmed glasses I used to wear? I still wear them in my house, but I got them changed to a zero prescription since I recently ironically got laser eye surgery."
Excerpts from Jacob Pacey's You Look at Me Like You've Never Seen a Neo-Hipster Before

Eyes on Fire
Love this song!
I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
I'll seek...
I'll seek...
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
I'll seek...
I'll seek...
I’ll seek you out,
Flay you alive
One more word and you won’t survive
And I’m not scared of your stolen power
I see right through you any hour
Felling any foe with my gaze
Steadily emerging with grace
His first name is Angus.
Some fun MacGyver trivia:
1. Angus MacGyver's birthday is January 23, 1951. Richard Dean Anderson's birthday is January 23, 1950.
2. MacGyver's Swiss Army Knife went through a few changes over the early episodes. His first and most often used knife was a "Spartan" model from Victorinox. The knife seen in the opening credits of each episode was a Wenger, as noted by its long keychain.
3. The "MacGyverisims" shown in the series are all based on scientific fact, but not all of the steps needed to create the experiment were shown. This was done to prevent children who were watching the show from duplicating the experiments themselves and possibly getting injured.
4. MacGyver grew up in Minnesota.
5. The surname "MacGyver" is of Scottish origin, first found in early times in Dumbarton. The clan motto, "Numquam obliviscar" translates as "I will never forget."

God's Buttons
This made me laugh. After that bad dream I had, this is a welcome relief. What if this is true. What if God really does have these "controls" and every day He's just sitting pretty, wondering, "Hmm...I wonder what's on for entertainment today." Anyway. I am always of the opinion that God has a wicked sense of humor.
Had a bad dream today.
First I was climbing the stairs. The kind that looks like a hanging bridge, with the steps suspended on the air, supported only by this taut silver ropes. Kinda like the stairs in Morty's condo in the First Wives Club. I was climbing forever. And then suddenly, when I grabbed one rope, it disentangled in my hand, and I was falling. And there was no end to this falling. It was horrible.
Designs for Father's Day Gifts
Fathers Day is this coming Sunday, and I should have made my designs a little bit earlier this time around but I was having the hardest time coming up with ideas. Now that I'm finally feeling creative again, I wanted to show you what I've been able to come up with in the last few days. Fathers Day has actually been a favorite holiday of mine, because me and my brother always spend it down at my Dad's place. Our parents separated when we were kids, but Dad always made sure to come back and pick us up for the weekend. By the time I got my license, I could take us both down there myself, but sometimes Dad would come and get us anyway, just so we could have the road trip together. It was always an adventure. Anyway, enough rambling...Here's my designs:
The Worst Feeling
Waiting for something that you know might never happen is on of toughest thing that you can do, especially if that something means everything to you.
Anticipation
I love that feeling I get when I reach for an ice cold glass of beer. Those few seconds when I am anticipating the cool refreshing liquid pouring down my throat just makes the beer drinking experience that much better for me.
The Art of Timing
Almost everything we want and need comes down to timing. We could exert a lot of effort towards a goal but never really comes easy until the time for it is right. Anything premature or late is a waste. The best thing to be is to learn when to grab an opportunity at the right time.
My iPhone 4 case design
Hey Folks,
I have decided to make a foray into making some of the other products offered on Zazzle. I'm thinking that people like/have iPhones, so I've chosen iPhone cases as my first new product. At first I couldn't choose between the iPhone 3gs and iPhone 4 cases, but now I'm pretty sure that I made the right decision since most people with Verizon are now switching over to iPhones, too. That's what I did :) Anyway, take a look at my first design and let me know what you think:
So, what do ya think? I feel like I'm up a creek in terms of designing. Like I have no idea what other people want to put on their phones so I made something pretty general, but I still have hope that it will sell. I mean, what girl doesn't like flowers? Anyway, back to Photoshop I go.

Life's a Roller Coaster
You can spend your life in fear or you can learn to enjoy the ride. Being fearless is definitely the best way to live, do not regret anything and do not let fear ever get in the way of an advedture.
Basket Case by Greenday
One of the classics, I really love this song by Greenday. I don't know anyone who couldn't relate to this song... Too bad there aren't any more songs like this today.
So Wrong...
Dance Like Nobody's Watching
Sometimes when everything seems down and life seems to be grey, all we really need to do is dance. Let go and move your body like nobody's watching, feel the world move with you and dance your stress away.
On Sleeping
I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know? -- Ernest Hemingway
Simple Livin'
I love zombie movies... Zombies seem to have gotten simple living just right. They only eat one type of food, they don't work and they don't seem to be stressed in any way; they just seem hungry all the time. Now if only their food source didn't try to shoot them in the one place that would kill them, they'd have it made.
FPS Russia
I don't really like guns all that much, but this guy make them look fun! More than anything, it's he's personality that shines all trough out his videos is what makes them fun to watch.
I've Had It with People Who...
...say "Literally" when what they really mean is figuratively. Here's a great comic from The Oatmeal that aptly defines what the word literally means.

Positive Thoughts
Here are some positive thoughts everyone could use every now and then. :)
The Floppy Disk
I found a couple of floppy disks at the bottom of one of my desk drawers. I want to see what data are stored inside but my computer no longer has a floppy drive. LMAO! I looked into it and apparently floppy drives have been phased out of standard computers at around 2003!
The Cutest Conversation Ever!
Here's a couple of twin toddlers having what seems to be baby talk conversation. It's really adorable and Just can't get enough of this video!
Terry Border's Bent Objects
Here are some artwork by an artist named Terry Border. His work a just so fun to look at. I hope they make you smile as well.
How to Be Happy
Here are three things anyone can do to improve their lives. These might sound too simple to work, but give it a try and you'll see... There is no reason, good enough, to be unhappy so let go and live life as you please.
Letting Go
It's important to keep trying but it is also equally important to know when to let go. When you know you've done all you could and when things are already out of your hand, it's okay to stop and give yourself a break. There is no use in trying to resolve something that is already beyond your control, learn when to let go and move on.
Have You Ever Had One of Those Days...
When things just seem to go wrong one after another? It's as if a full month's worth of issues got condensed into one day and all you could do is deal the best way you can. I am having one of those days, and I am doing all I can to cope while keeping a smile on my face and a positive attitude.
Clueless
They say asking questions is the best way to learn, but we've all met a person or two person who seem to ask questions without thinking them through completely. Sometimes there are questions that need not be asked.
Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song
Here's a song that really brings back old memories, they sure had some great music back in the 90's...

A Picture to Take You Away
It's nice to have a picture that you can look at from time to time that can bring you to a tranquil place. A picture that can help you get away from all the stressful things around you. Even if its just for a few seconds a day, it will make a difference.
It's Ok to be Silly Sometimes
People are often afraid to let out their quirky side in fear of what others might think of them. It really should be done a bit ore often, it is a great way to relieve stress and be more relaxed. Don't be afraid to be silly from time to time, it might help you get through though times.
Love Yourself
Life would be so much more beautiful if you learn to love yourself. Embrace your qualities both good and bad. Be proud of your positive side and try to work on your weaknesses instead of trying to cover them up. We all have our imperfections, its how we deal with them that makes the difference. happiness is not something that you find, it is something that you create.
Great Food
I just love great food! Italian, Mexican, as long as it has a uniquely wonderful flavor I want it! I know I am not alone, the search for new flavors has led the Spaniards to literally go around the world. I wonder what the world would be like if we couldn't sense flavors?
This Really Aired On TV
Before there was PSP and X-Box, there was Atari, if you've never heard of it before, you are really missing out. It is one of the first video game consoles to come out and they had the best games and the best ads. Check out this old Atari spot for a game called Centipede.
Bad Kitty
Sometimes you see something really horrible but you can't avert your eyes no matter how much your brain tells you to. Just like car crashes there are some things that your eyes can't seem to be peeled away from and all you can do is exclaim; "WTF?!"
A Guy's Advice
I found this and it really made me laugh! I just thought I'd share the fun and post this. I hope this bring you a smile or two and help your ease your day even if just a bit. :D
Breaking The Ice
I want to try break the ice with this cute photo I found on the web. Photos like these help ease my stress by putting a smile on my face. Try not to take things too seriously, doing everything in moderation is what I believe to be the best way to go about life.
