Who I Hope Will be the Next President of the United States of America

Obama is the sexy pick. I like Edwards' charm and his message. I can't f%#king stand Hillary for a variety of reasons. Jon Stewart has already said he won't run (damn it!). So who am I pulling for? Who do I think would make the best president in 2008? This guy.





We voted for him once, we should do it again.

Who are you pulling for? And why?

25 Signs That, Sadly, You've Grown Up

I've bolded the ones that apply to me...

1. Your house plants are alive, and you can't smoke any of them. (Never smoked any plant.)

2. Having sex in a twin bed is out of the question. (Given my acrobatic tendencies, and my manly strength, only a king bed will do.)

3. You keep more food than beer in the fridge. (As much as I enjoy beer, I love food more.)

4. 6:00 AM is when you get up, not when you go to bed.

5. You hear your favorite song on an elevator.

6. You watch the Weather Channel. (Practically daily. Sad, but true.)

7. Your friends marry and divorce instead of hook up and break up.

8. You go from 130 days of vacation time to 14. (I miss having summers off.)

9. Jeans and a sweater no longer qualify as "dressed up."

10. You're the one calling the police because those damn kids next door won't turn down the stereo.

11. Older relatives feel comfortable telling sex jokes around you.

12. You don't know what time Taco Bell closes anymore. (Fortunately, I am still down with the Bell.)

13. Your car insurance goes down and your payments go up.

14. You feed your dog Science Diet instead of McDonalds leftovers.

15. Sleeping on the couch makes your back hurt.

16. You no longer take naps from noon to 6 PM. (I don't think I ever did this.)

17. Dinner and a movie is the whole date instead of the beginning of one. (Does this include later "activities" at home after the movie?)

18. Eating a basket of chicken wings at 3 AM would severely upset, rather than settle your stomach. (Well, on several occasions Burger King food has wreaked havoc on my bowls. Sorry toilet!)

19. You go to the drug store for ibuprofen and antacid, not condoms and pregnancy tests.

20. A $4.00 bottle of wine is no longer "pretty good stuff".

21. You actually eat breakfast food at breakfast time. (Thanks to the wonderful cooking of a certain special lady.)

22. "I just can't drink the way I used to," replaces, "I'm never going to drink that much again." (I have never actually been drunk. However, rumor has it that certain individuals are conspiring to remedy that during my future bachelor party.)

23. 90% of the time you spend in front of a computer is for real work. (Indeed, this is true.)

24. You drink at home to save money before going to a bar. (Not only do I do this, but I have also learned to never underestimate the value of afternoon matinees at the theater.)

25. You read this entire list looking desperately for one sign that doesn't apply to you and can't find one to save Your sorry old ass.

I scored 12 out of 25, so does that mean that I am 48% old? It was my hope, that at the age of 24, I was not already becoming a grumpy old man. However, these results seem to undermine said hopes. So, how did the rest of you do?

Snake Vs Bunny

Remember the Easter bunny? Well this is how he warms up in his spare time. Apparently he hates snakes too.


Why am I reminded of this?



*Shudders* I can't even look at it. It's so terrifying!

Today's Installment of W.T.F. Part V: Darwin Award(s) Candidate

This is a case of photographer photographs photographer. The following photographs were taken by photographer Hans van de Vorst at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his own. The identity of the photographer IN the photos is unknown.


I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock IN the Grand Canyon.

The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.

Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:

1. How did he climb that rock?

2. Why not taking that sunset picture on that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe?

3. How will he get back?


This is the point of no return.


After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available)

and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes.

At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.

After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here.

Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.


We've come to the end of this little story. Look carefully at the photographer.

He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand.

Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem.

He lands low on this flip flops both his right hand and right foot slips away...
At that moment I take this shot.

He pushes his body against the rock.

He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away.
I half expected to see a picture of this guy plummeting to his doom, however it looks like Mr. Van de Vorst (the photographer of the photographer) is just flexing his illusion muscle. Why can't cool shit ever be real?
