Ok, as I sit here and enjoy my bountiful Paleo breakfast of Watermelon, Blueberries, Cantaloupe and a grilled Buffalo patty, I thought I'd post a few short things I've either stumbled across or noticed or just plain forgot about and remembered or even just remembered again...
So
Let's get started....
Local
- Smoking Ban - Evidently the smokers are at it again... the Bar owners think their business is down... Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaaaaa.. Personally I'm glad... I was able to go to Griff's over the weekend and not come out feeling like I was at a Marlboro Factory.. and chances are if these bars are depending on Smokers for Business.. WELL SCREW THEM!!! I DON'T NEED IT.. Probably a Grey Poker Machine parlor that's ripping off my mom's Social Security Check.
- Susan sent me this blog from "Hippie Killer" - who has a great rant about it. BTW, HK, I tried to leave you a "TrackBack" (whether you wanted it or not) as I just discovered this feature today, but I saw no TrackBack URL, just a link, and I don't think it did anything after I clicked it. So who knows.. great rant.
- By the way, I have a feeling that McCain's Presidential campaign is going to go the same way as Marshall's football team. LOL...I just lost more respect for him... well I shouldn't laugh.... I'm more conservative, but I just have a feeling.
Bikes - a couple of notable items.. Least I think... if you don't well go screw yourself.
- Susan sent me two great posts from Fatty - my cycling friends have already seen them... The first one was concerning Rock & Republic Bike Jersey's.... I think Susan was concerned I'd buy one. However this comes from someone who was over the summer looking at their Jeans..Purchased Ed Hardy T-Shirts, Miss Me Jeans.... etc etc - OK I'm guilty too, over the past several months, I've acquired several Affliction T's, pair of Ed Hardy jeans & Affliction ones too. maybe that's why she's concerned.... She knows I have waisted money on such over priced Items... Now I'm torn... I want to support companies that support Cycling.. however you have to draw the line someplace.. But those jersey's are cool...
- DZ NUTS - Never tried this stuff... but with a name like that, I almost feel like I have to. Hilarious post...
- The Leadville 100 - Diesel has done this race before several years ago...Well this year it's turning into a real interesting race. Lance Armstrong is racing in it and it appears that he has been training for a few weeks. (probably why he had to dump Kate Hudson) here's his bike set up.
- Now this is what makes it interesting - Dave Weins is the five time champ...whupped up on self proclaimed innocent doper Floyd Landis last year. His bike set up is in the same article.
- What makes it even more interesting is FATTY - good luck... loved the way he simulated the two VeloNews articles.
- soon to follow my race bike set up look for it this weekend sometime.
IPhone stuff... Thanks to IPTIB as there's where I get most of my Iphone information. You should bookmark it...and check it out as he updates a couple times a day.
I'm Rich - yes that image you see over to the right can be purchased from the Itunes store for your Iphone for $999.99. It does nothing. Just a photoshop picture is my guess. NOTHING.. But it says you've got money to Burn. Feel free to read more at that link.
- Supposedly there's an email out from Steve Jobs talking about "Mobile Me"... and where Apple May have dropped the ball concerning the 2.0 upgrade and launch of 3G.
Personally I haven't upgraded to 2.01 or have a new 3G IPhone, so all of the problems people seem to be having do not affect me. I'm RETRO
Food -
- this Paleo I'm not - Check it out - "Insects Not Just For Breakfast" - very interesting - but if I'm not getting paid alot, I'm not doing it.
- I like my Travel Mug brown on the inside... someone once took it and cleaned it. I felt violated...
Finally I have go get some work done... but Susan sent me this... I'm sure this guy's dad is proud of his son and not soon after became Pro-Choice. The only thing you can say is WHAT THE FUCK?????
Thanks for the link. I'll admit, it may be a good long time before insect meals catch on in America. Cheers!

why didn't you mention the anti-KISS post I sent you?

I'm really not as anti-KISS as that post suggests, guys. I once wrote a silly post about how rats are the worst animals in the world, and a rat lover found it and was ready to go toe to toe. I don't believe she said anything about my wife (http://chezmama.blogspot.com), though, which I thought was cool.
Bottle of Pills, to answer your question, I like all kinds of music, from just about every genre other than modern mainstream country. One of my favorite rock bands playing these days is Clutch, and I was (and still am) a huge Karma to Burn fan. I've mentioned that I like Black Sabbath, I like earlier Metallica, and I'm in my mid-30s so I like lots of cheesy rock stuff from the '80s. I also like Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Bob Dylan, The Beastie Boys, Willie Nelson, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Bjork, The Avett Brothers, Cat Power, Built to Spill, Elvis Costello, Joseph Arthur, The Ramones, The Clash, Velvet Underground, David Bowie ... all kinds of stuff.
If you look at more posts on my blog, you'll see that in reality I'm very positive about music in general.
