this is the future of blogging

this is mostly just a test to see if I can blog from my phone. let's see if this works...

and just so this is not a total waste of time for you, the reader, I ate lunch at Harvey's today (don't tell McDonald's!).

update: Mission accomplished. now I can blog from anywhere, driving, playing soccer or even from prison.

look what I stumbled upon

In my daily internetting I came across a verrrrrry interesting youtube video which I'm sure some of you may enjoy. Its pretty annoying but just watch it for a bit and right around 2:30 you will know where it is headed. I don't want to ruin anything so just watch it.

I can't embed youtube videos anymore for some reason so just click the link!

sickest license plate

i was driving somewhere the other day and a car pulled out in front of me, it was a Mazda Precidia, maybe mid to late 90s. Anyways the Precidia with its engine pumping at full speed rockets down Martindale Rd. towards Port Dalhousie with an objective in mind. I immediately thought this guy was pretty bad ass with his modified muffler firing out a really ear pleasing whine. Right when I thought he was straight out of Fast and the Furious 4: St. Catharines Drift I looked at his license plate and knew that I was not looking at any mortal man...no, for what I gazed my steely eye upon was a god. The plate, raised a bold, yet confident without being arrogant, aura around his chariot. Here is what I spied:

WRLDCHMP

Yes. This is it. The world champion drives a mid 90's Mazda Precida with a modified muffler. What is he a champion of? umm... how about THE WORLD? Maybe I'll see him again some day but I doubt it. He was probably off to a competition somewhere, defending his title from other contenders.

Do you think he had to pay for that plate? Or was it given as the trophy at the world champion games? Is he just a champion of one particular thing? Why a Precidia? So many questions...

I can picture him down at the Ministry of Transportation.
"Hey, can I get a custom license plate made?"
"Yes there will be an extra charge, what would you like it to say?"
"WRLDCHMP"
*winks at the clerk and blasts off on a jetpack*

Maybe one day I will be like him.

BREAKING BLOG NEWS

hmm well looks like those in ultraextreme land will finally get to rally behind their leader. It seems like we have an interesting predicament.

a new blog start up, http://toplessrockstars.com/ has just entered the 'scene' and I couldn't help but notice their slogan... "You couldn't handle it"... to my faithful readers you may find this sounding awfully familiar. I wonder why...oh I know, because its a direct rip off of my slogan "can you handle it". I have direct precedence over this slogan as it was trademarked by me In December of 2006.

I hope the people behind this blog are prepared for the backlash that they are about to receive by not only my rabid fans but also by my team of rabid lawyers. They are dogs with rabies and I am not even kidding, dogs are my lawyers and they know the law (dog law).

I wasn't even sure what I was going to blog about before but now I will be documenting the legal proceedings of this looming court battle, or slug-fest which the media has started to call it.

Stay tuned.

look at how bored i am

I'm so bored at work that I am starting my blog again. I think I'll update it every day (weekday) in the afternoon to document what happened during my exciting life as a professional youtube watcher, MSN converser and editor of a news paper.

Here is some stuff I did today: Talked to someone about wanting coverage for some event, talked to a dude from IT, umm watched a lot of people walking around looking for where to go for their graduation and gave a newspaper to a construction worker. That isn't everything that I did but its the most note-worthy. Tomorrow will probably be busier though!

Here is a picture of me, circa last week. I have this expression on my face the entire time I'm at work. Maybe even less happy looking though.

See you tomorrow...

why volkswagen is the best

maybe the coolest commerical?!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hur1qMsiyw

yeah...i think so.

i'm too tired to do any more writing tonight so i hope you enjoy this little update.

oh and i also chose my interview subject for my class so thanks to everyone who applied (no one did).

wikimania

so here i am trying to do some homework and theres a term i wasn't really familar with (it was 'salient noun phrase') so i figured why not look on wikipedia to see what it has to say. Well guess what, it doesn't even exist on wikipedia! I eventually figured it out (looks like somone is smarter than wikipedia (itds me)) but anyways thats beside the point.

I got to thinking and then was thinking about in the future say there is some surgical (maybe pyschological) procedure which lets you pick one topic or stub from wikipedia to be implanted into your brain. It would be like memorizing something but just more like the MATRIX with Keanu Reeves or Johnny Neumonic with Keanu Reeves where it is instantly zapped into you and you can remember it in no time flat. Why it can only be one topic is just for interest sake cause it would be dumb if you could do the whole thing so just go along with it ok.

So logically i began thinking of the possibilities that this new scientific breakthrough could bestow upon me.

I thought pretty long and hard about it and came to the conclusion that I would pick this.

For those who don't like clicking things this is the title of it.

Poker probability (Omaha)/Derivations for making low hands

I just copy/pasted it and don't want to reformat the text so DEAL WITH IT.

Its the longest Wikipedia article and takes like 2 minutes to load because it has so much crap on it (my brain would be able to load it instantly though). Now its important to keep in mind that I've played poker probably half a dozen times so i don't really know what anything on this page means (or even the title) BUT think of how many hours some dude put into putting this on wikipedia and editing it and maintaining it and protecting it from wikipedia vandals. For that kind of dedication it must be pretty important. I think there is probably a lot of stuff in there that would also relate to other functions in my every day non poker playing life like...i dont know maybe something involving numbers or probability(what does that even MEAN?).

I guess i could maybe clean up at a casino too if i knew all this but i think that this kind of medical breakthrough could be very dangerous in the wrong hands too so maybe this is a Pandora's Box of the future (wikipedia it if you don't know what that means cause its a sweet metaphor in this case). I won't even bring into question the credibility of information on wikipedia because thats a whole different set of problems.

anyways i hope this gave you something to think about because it sure opened my eyes to the very intricate and confusing world of Poker probabilty. I don't really even remember how this started or how I got to this conclusion so see you next update.

do you want to be FAMOUS?

well I just spent about two hours working on a 'secret' project but I can't talk about it in so public a forum.

in other news I think i'm going to be switching over to using itunes instead of window's media. I think its just better and I made a playlist with all of the sweetest songs so its already kind of set up to be prety awesome. it'll be hard to switch back I think. For those wondering the playlist is titled the Sweet List.

in other news i need to interview someone for a news feature that I have to write for one of my classes so if anyone reading this thinks they have a good reason to be interviewed post why you think you should be the candidate in the comments. i'll choose the best interview subject by probably MONDAY! so type up your explanations and teasers for me. my story is only 1500 words so make sure its not something long and boring.

if that doesn't work then i've compiled a list of some people that would be great to interview and do a feature story on. (this is without checking actual spelling of their names)

Albert Einstein: Could be difficult on account of his current death-like state
Bill Gates: What does he do with all that money?! Thats just crazy to think about am I right?
Bill Cosby: Whats it like having the same first name as Bill Gates (the richest man in the world (rich in money))?
Superman(?): I put a ? because he is fictional but maybe he is based on a real life person? I don't know much about comics this was probably a bad choice.
Gary Larson: I just thought of him cause I looked and saw my The Far Side day calendar. The one for today was wierd. It has two bulls in the frame and one is sitting down blowing up an inflatable cow doll and the one bull is saying, "She's lookin' good, Vern!". It was pretty funny but it was more weird than funny y'know.
almost said James Bond but I remembered Superman...
Conan O'Brien: Does he just want Jay Leno to die already? Like really that probably sucks waiting for Leno to retire in like another 20 years just so Conan can have a chance at being successful finally.

Ok well hopefully I can find one of you to interview so hopefully you have either a terrible tale that is very sad or an inspirational one (maybe it begins sad but ends up as inspirational). Don't be offended if I don't pick you as my interview subject, it just means you're uninteresting or I don't like you. So start posting your stuff! thanks!
