The Jaws of death...

I just wasted about 2 hours of my life surfing this thing we call the world wide web...sad I know, but I did find some funny, if not interesting time-killers:

It all started with a link my Unkie Gunkie sent me for a YouTube video...



I then somehow made it to another YouTube video...again, quite funny...



Next I embarked on a mission to see more videos by said videographer, which led me to...


...yet again, pretty funny. Especially with myself being a Mac user. My next mission: find out who this current.tv is. I think their website is worth visiting. You'll have to read the "about" page yourself to really get a feel for what the websites purposes are, but I'll give you some hints in the direction that it's to help people get their voice heard, and it was launched by a certain influencial someone who's name I will chose to keep hidden in the interest of you actually visiting the website and not blowing it off because of political loyalties.

Of course while I'm waiting for all these YouTube videos I want to watch to load, I continue checking my e-mail and find that I have a new "friends request" on Facebook! Two Kudos and a candy bar for me. Ussually I just delete the message and let the person sit in anticipation as they flip flop over whether or not I "love them not" or just havn't responded yet, but this time the Jaws of Death take hold and I take one step into the co-bane of evil (myspace being the bane of all evil)...I click on the blue "confirm friend here" url....ahhhhhhhhhhhh.

Once in facebook my heart slows a bit, the evil bane methane kicks in, and I start to think "hey this place isn't so bad"... their new "newswire" feature is kinda creepy and stalker-esque, but besides that there could be good times. I'll look at my friends posts.

It was then that I found out my friend Nate had possibly one of the coolest stories about seeing a celebrity that I've ever heard.

So yesterday afternoon my buddy Matt and I were driving up to SLO and some jerk in the car next to me starting blaring his horn at me and shaking his fist out the window...I opened my window to see my favorite musician of all time in the passenger seat of a Lexus SUV yelling "nice sticker bro!" I remembered the "Fight For Your Mind" sticker I had just put on my car a month ago and had a quick conversation at 65mph with an amazing artist. He told me as he drove off that was headed up to big sur for the weekend and I was left thinking what a cool guy for making a fan's day like that!

That was Ben Harper he had a casual freeway conversation with by the way.

I found out that Cal Poly is ranked as the 6th hardest school to get accepted to, right behind: Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and Columbia (see article here); and, that April has a list of about 200 things that make her something called a "Porteno." I've obviously failed the "you know you're a Porteno if..." challenge.

So now you've been filled in on my "new finds" of the night. It's about time I put a stop to this insaine rate of productivity. I think it's time to nestle down with a good book: Wild Swans, and pay a visit to the great study by Wanda Beth Moore: Breaking Free.

Goodnight and Goodluck!
