There was a time when I would have be excited to see Lindsay Lohan topless. But these pics just make me sad.

Did someone say 1911?


I secured a Rock Island Armory 1911 today. Buddy of mine cut me a deal, I pick it up a week from tomorrow.

Dave Chappell, we need you

Dave Chappelle came out in 2003 with a sketch comedy show. Every week was hilarious and never disappointed. Since he left the filming of the third season, Comedy Central has been giving other comedians shows in hopes of it having the same success that Dave's did, but to no avail. Carlos Mencia (or should I say Ned) is a joke and a thief, plagiarizing his way up the comedy ladder. His show Mind of Mencia is the same racist joke over and over again and simply isn't funny. He relies on shock value for laughs and seems to have lost any wit that he may have once had. David Allen Greer has a show called Chocolate News, where he plays most of the characters. It is funny at times, but overall not a great success. Mad TV has never been funny and Saturday Night Live hasn't been funny in a long time. Most recently Demitri Martin has gotten his own show called Important Things. So far it is amusing, but very rarely is it laugh out loud funny.

I also fear for the future of stand up comedy. I view Dave Chappelle as being on another level of comedy than most comedians now days. There have been a few funny people come out recently, John Caparulo, Jeff Dunham, Raplhie May, and Kat Williams are a few that I can think of. However, there are also many comedians that are somehow gaining popularity that in my opinion are the antithesis of funny. Jim Gaffigan to talk to me for the rest of my life and I wouldn't laugh a single time. Dane Cook is amazingly popular, and I can't figure out why. He tells simple stories and uses large and obscure words, and because he is good looking people laugh. A lot of his stuff may be funny in passing or mumbled between friends at a bar, but selling out Madison Square Garden is just unfathomable.

What I'm getting at is that I fear for the future of comedy, be it stand up or tv shows, and Dave Chappelle needs to come back and make me laugh.

Surf was epic today

I had class until 12:30, then I jumped in my car and headed to Carolina Beach. My brother met me there with my boards. I paddled out with my 7'6" Proline and couldn't catch anything. So I went and grabbed my 9'0" Perfection and paddled back out. First I caught an over head bomb. Biggest wave I ever caught. I dropped quick and bottom turned and that was it. A few minutes later I was hooted into another head high wave. Dropped in, bottom turned and saw a big wall in front of me. I tucked in, knelt down and started hauling ass down line. It eventually closed out but it was a hell of a ride.

Busy day

I got home from Greenville and wanted to do some work on my car. I took the amp that was mounted to my sub box and mounted it to the back seat. Now I can take out my sub quickly and have the space for cargo. It also makes the amp quite a bit harder to steal. Then I taped my makeshift surf racks on until The Cove gets some in stock. I then washed and vacuumed my car. Misty drove that to the movies and I washed and vacuumed hers.

I also put a new bushing on my skateboard because somehow I managed to bust one of my old ones.

What ever happened to the service industry?

I went to 2 different places today without anyone even talking to me. I went to McDonalds to get some sweet tea and the girl took my card, ran it and gave it back, then gave me my tea and never once even looked me in the eye or said a word. Then at walmart the women rang me up, bagged my stuff, and ran my card without saying anything. How do these people keep their jobs behaving like this?

I didn't think it was possible.

I just beat Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 on realistic.

If was pretty damned hard.

Greenville is still boring

So far today I've watched Without a Paddle, Max Payne, Kicking and Screaming, and now I'm watching Fun with Dick and Jane. There is nothing to do. The weather is amazing and I should be at the beach.

Greenville is boring

Greenville is just boring. If you don't want to get trashed, there is nothing to do. I don't want to get trashed, so there is nothing to do. I went to a movie on campus, then rented 2 movies. But that has to spread out all weekend.

I need to go to a show. I haven't been to a show since Corey and I saw Donovan at the Soap Box, and that doesn't really count because it wasn't a metal band. Watching Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist maed me miss the dirty streets and graphitied bathrooms. The sticky beer covered floor and not being able to hear the next day.

I am getting tired of Epilogues. I have seen several movies lately that I feel would have been better if they left at the climax. Nicn and Norah was a good movie, but I feel like it was have been at better if they left it right after the climax (no pun intended). Instead they had to wrap up some loose ends, but it made the ending less poetic.

Anyways, I though about going to the fireing range tomorrow to kill some time, but I am gong next weekend with Misty and some friends and I can't really afford to buy ammo for both.

I ordered a rifle kit from www.del-ton.com yesterday. Which means as soon as I get it I can finally build my first AR-15. It won't be ready for another 3 months, but it'll be worth the wait.

I felt a little gay today

Saturday I managed to lock the keys in the house where Misty and I were dog sitting. I ended up having to call a locksmith and pay him 55 bucks to spend 45 seconds picking the lock. After that I went surfing with Big Chief. It was incredibly small but it was still a hell of a lot of fun. After work Misty cooked some delicious pork chops, with brocoly and mashed potatoes, topped off with some brownies for dessert. Sunday I had to work all day, but Dewey let me off for about an hour to run back to Hot Wax where I got some more Sanuk's and a pair of DC shoes. I got off in time to catch the second half of the super bowl.

Oh, I was in the shower earlier and relized that I was out of condition. I was kind of upset. That is why I felt a little gay.
