It's Not The End of the World As We Know It... So Please Shut The Fuck Up

Well 12/21/12 is here, and I am sorry to say to all the "Preppers" out there that their time and money was once again NOT well spent. Over the last several weeks, and especially the last few days, people everywhere have been talking about the world coming to an end because of the expiration of the Mayan calendar. Facebook news feeds have been full of jokes, images, and even serious messages to their beloved friends "just in case" this was the end of the world. There were thousands of "End of the World" parties for all the drunks looking for another excuse to get hammered one final time before Apocalypse only to wake up with another Friday morning headache. And there are even some extremest/nut-heads have been spending thousands of dollars preparing for this moment for years. For instance, you can purchase $72,000 for a sealed bunker tube to comfortably fit their family of six.  Seventy-Two Thousand Dollars!!!  For what reason?!  So you can wake up today surrounded by hell?!!

I have been anxiously waiting for 12/21/12 to arrive not because I was anticipating planet Nibiru to collide with Earth, but because this whole thing is fucking retarded!  Hell, not even the Mayans themselves were believing the world was going to end today so why and the hell did everyone decide to take this date and not shut-up about it?  I thought that when I woke up this morning that it was finally over, that was until I walked into my office only to hear my Secretary singing REM, and now thanks to that little incident the song has been stuck in my head for the last 3 hours.  This incident was followed by an invitation to an End of the World party tonight!...  It is almost as if people WANT the world to end today!

How many fucking Armageddon predictions do we have to go through before people finally appreciate life and decide to make something for themselves?!  What the hell is the point of constantly preparing/worrying about something that we can do nothing about.  If it's the end, then it's the end.  I understand for a lot of the people I know, it was nothing more than just humorous fun.  But it got annoying.  It was like everyone was trying to think of the best way to make the exact same fucking joke.  A few examples from taken from my current Facebook newsfeed (post non-apocalpse) - "When I have kids, Im going to make them watch 2012 and then tell them I survived that shit" - "How disappointing, I guess Im going to have to do Christmas shopping after all" - "Hmmmm, I wish I didnt celebrate the end of the world last night - I probably wouldnt feel so bad today!" And of course, about 5 times someone posted this "It's the End of the World As We Know, And I Feel Fine!"  ---  This is just to quote a few, I have since defriended these people.

Tomorrow the sun will rise on 12/22/12, and thank God, not only for another day for me to kickass but these broken record jokes will finally stop!... At least until 2018.

When is the next release coming out?

SAN ANTONIO SPURS

NUMBER OF PLAYERS IN RAP SONGS: 4
The Spurs are the league's exemplary modern franchise, but they're an old bunch playing in a small city who ball with little flair. That said, pound-for-pound they can stack up their rap name-drops with anyone on this list. There's Tim Duncan, who was rhymed with "Joe Buddens" by Lil Wayne on Da Drought 3, then there's Tony Parker, who was rhymed with "Bob Barker" in a very rare and based line from Lil B. Topping them all, though, is Argentinian Manu Ginobili, whose marquee facial feature gets used beautifully by Roc Marciano: "The four-four chrome is long-nose / Call it Ginobili."

Manu Ginobili: "The four-four chrome is long-nose / Call it Ginobili, your real nigga show me" — Roc Marciano ("The Man")

Tim Duncan: "Any Tim Duncan, spur of the moment / Let the whole world know I run shit, jump ship quick" — Asher Roth ("Lark on My Go-Kart")

Stephen Jackson: "Stay strapped-up we G’s in action / Knock out orders like Stephen Jackson" — E.S.G. ("Fuck With Me")

Tony Parker: "Light-skinned? Nah, a little dark on TV like Bob Barker / Love is lost sometimes, nigga, ask Tony Parker" — Lil B ("Reggie Miller")

I had 3 beers at lunch today.

I do not care much for my current job right now. But, I am thankful for so much else wonderful in my life. Happy Thanksgiving, friends.

Happy Thanksgiving

I am man.

So, I attempted to install a light fixture this weekend. I had my doubts.  I am not "handy." When I turned the power back on, walked back to the light switch flipped it on, and the light actually came on- well, I can hardly explain the overwhelming sense of raw masculinity and satisfaction I felt.  To a lesser degree, I get this same feeling from changing a light bulb.

My intention is not to brag.  (Well, maybe a little.) But also, just to ask the group if you share this sentiment and what tasks (greater or smaller) have you accomplished that left you feeling like Al Borlin on HGH.

Freak.

My new company is really into Halloween. It's a little strange.  www.batcetera.com

You can see the disparate effort i put into my pumpkin relative to the rest.  (although, no surprise i found a way to get some face time.)

... He is suppose to have a cannon of an arm too. If he can pull off more runs like these then it will be Casey who?? GO FROGS

Oh No, Not Again



Rangers dropped 9 of last 13 and are first team in MLB history to piss away a 5-game division lead in final 9 games of season. They were in first place for 161 games of the 162-game season.

Keeping the faith for a playoff run. Fearful that there's a Tex-Hex. I think Thurman Thomas is starting in RF tomorrow. Jim Kelly is pitching.
