Tuesdays with Muerte

1. LUCHA KEYS™ – Now you will know with 100% certainty which is your house key! 2. After my latest ENERGY FOOD discovery, I'm seriously contemplating getting myself one of these bad boys – Taco Yummy pocket Bag/purse 3. I didn't take the time to look through all my dream updates, but I can still remember recording one where I attended a college religion class on the Book of Mormon conducted by James Earl Jones. I distinctly recall having my testimony of that book strengthened when Jones paused during his lesson and dramatically boomed, "YOU MUST TAKE THE TIME TO FEEL THE WORDS IN THE BOOK OF MORMON" (in his unique tone of voice and emphasizing certain consonants). I wonder if his reading of the Holy Bible would affect me as strongly as he did in my dream. 4. If this hoodie were $20 less, I would buy it fo' sho'! "I'm BATMAN!" 5. I'm pretty sure they don't sell these bad-boys any longer, but back in the 1930's they were all the r...

This short film is 16 minutes long. You will smile in the first minute and perhaps shed a tear by the end. Thanks to my good friend Jordan Hockstrasser for making me aware of it:

Here are my top 5 reasons for liking facial hair: 5. I feel like I am trying to be like Jesus :) 4. Facial Hair demands a certain amount of respect. I think it definitely makes me look older. (Not necessarily a good thing. . .) 3. It protects me from the cold. 2. The only downside is that people sometimes wonder if you are an ax murderer. 1. You look like you've been backpacking in Europe. "I'm going to stab you 1000x with each little, prickly hair! MUh-Hahaha-ahhaah!" So what do you think? Does the GOAT reinforce the mature, self-assured, manly-man look or more the Ax-murderer look? I'm pretty sure it's coming off tomorrow for church, but I'll wait to see what your comments indicate... ---------------- Listening to: Owl City - Hello Seattle

Preface : I realize that this post may seem out of the blue, inappropriate, and possibly even offensive. But for those whom it was written for, trust me, it makes complete sense.  If you start to feel uncomfortable, STOP reading and pick a different post. Friends of mine have been complaining recently about having unwanted junk in the trunk. I refrain from telling them that I wish I had a bigger booty!  It bothers me when some girls are overly sensitive about their weight. These girls ought to know that not everyone in the world thinks having a substantial caboose is such a bad thing…myself included. (Also see: Sir Mix-a-lot's one-hit-wonder, Baby Got Back .) I bet they wouldn't complain as much if they knew it was something I dreamed of having since childhood. I think my personal quest for obtaining the callipygian ideal stemmed from elementary school days when I was forced to sit through hours of assembles, forming permanent dents in my sits bones from sitting cross-le...

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

It probably took me 10 full seconds to figure this picture out. ---------------- Listening to: Vengaboys - We Like to Party! (The Vengabus)

“A revolutionary mobile phone battery that recharges in 10 seconds instead of several hours has been created by scientists. The new device charges 100 times as fast as a conventional battery and could also be used in phones, laptops, iPods and digital cameras within just two or three years, they say. The same technology could even allow an electric car to be charged up in the same time that it takes to fill a conventional car with petrol - removing one of the biggest obstacles to green, clean motoring.” ( via )
