Emo music is everyone's favorite whipping boy these days.  But like a lot of music styles, the originators made some pretty good original music.  It was really kind of post hardcore with an prog twist (longer inventive song structures), and a goth style.  OK, it was still wussy.  Now we're on watered down 3rd generation emo, and it does indeed suck.  Musical styles are like that- someone comes along and does something cool.  Then it's reduced to a formula, and pretty soon it sucks.

I'm completely amazed by the utter stupidity and complete ignorance of people in this country. I was filling up my car at a gas station in Euclid this afternoon and an employee at the gas station comes strolling outside with a giant can of red bull and lights up a cigarette RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR!!! The guy was less than 5 paces from where i was standing filling up my car! This isnt the first time I've seen this and it seems to be happening more and more often when I'm at a gas station.

In general, Indie Rock is just as wussy. Bright Eyes, The Shins, etc. Makes me want to chug a bottle of Wellbutrin it's so depressing and lame.

I can't tell you how many employees at gas stations I've seen come outside and smoke right in front of the store, only a few paces from where people are filling up.  Somehow, I think smoking on the job should be 100% prohibited if you work in a freaking gas station, but I suppose there's no way to do something like that.

Dude, you guys think that's bad, go to Kentucky.  They smoke everywhere in Kentucky. Just  go right across the Ohio River. One time my friends and I went to Red River Gorge in KY and we stopped in at this McDonalds on the way. Some obese, nasty redneck chick was blazing up a cigarette behind the counter where people order the food. No joke! She was socializing, like she was on her lunch break but still, that isn't the place. No one wants ashes in their McDouble.   

Bueller? Bueller??

 

Where is everybody today?

I know. I came back this morning and saw that I'm the last post in everything I posted in. Seems like the party dies whenever I enter the room. I thought for sure I'd come back and hear similar stories about North America's only third world country (Kentucky).

 

I was wondering that too.  I am having a horrid day after another horribly sick weekend and could use some distraction. 

 

Ever been so sick for so long you completely forgot to renew your driver's license? Yep, that's me, as pointed out to me by the RTA people this morning when I went to buy my bus pass.  By almost a month.  I seriously had no idea.  41 years old and I have never done anything like that before.  I guess that's what happens when you're sick for over 2 months straight.

Jeez RnR you just gave me a scare. I completely forgot to check my license, but I am good until next year.

 

I pretty much have been sick for the last 2 months too. It sucks.

 

 

Sorry to hear that. :-( Hope you guys feel better soon. Seems like everyone is sick right now. 

Everyone at my job is sick too.  I feel like we just keep passing everything around.  If it wasn't such a culture of paranoia that we work in, more of us could stay home when we're sick and not keep bringing it in to the office.

I was coming into the office to escape the den of disease that my house was fot the last 10 days. 3 sick and whiny kids vs the solitude of my cube. No contest.

This is the first year we've ever put plastic on all our windows too. while it's been considerably warmer, mr. RNR is paranoid we have "trapped the germs in" as well. I think that's kind of silly, but I'm not a biologist or an HVAC specialist.

I wonder how apartments work with changing the furnace filters in the winter.  Maybe it's not done enough.  I try to change ours once every 6 weeks in the winter. 

My wife likes to spray Lysol to kill the germs. I always wonder what the success rate is of the Lysol spray particles actually hitting whatever airborne germs there are in the air, for the 6 seconds between when the spray is released and then it falls to the ground. Maybe if she sprayed me in the face right when I sneezed we'd have better luck. I won't make that suggestion to her.

At the larger complexes like mine, they schedule the changes.  They give you a day's notice and then come in and do it.  I want to say it's 2 or 3 times a year but I'm not sure.  They also change the smoke detector batteries if you want, which is nice. And they want you to test the AC before it gets hot so they can effect repairs before warm weather sets in; they send you a notice and tell you when you have to turn it on to test it.  With over 900 units, they have to schedule this kind of thing or they'd be overwhelmed, I'm sure.

  I heard when you you turn 40 you just start forgetting everything and everyone.  It's normal.

One time, a couple of buddies of mine stopped at a McDonalds deep in Kentucky. You could smoke in it, so after they were done eating they smoked five cigarettes apiece just because they could.

This reminds me of ordering a beer at McDonalds in Vienna just because I could.

No, it was "real" Kentucky. Deep in the woods!

Doesn't "Grand Rapids" sound like a theme park? It sounds like it's the Disney World/Orlando of the North. It's started to get all nice outside; I've never been there but "Grand Rapids" sounds lovely right now.

the Dutch seem to like it.

I was basically up all night tending to a pukey 15 month old....so why did I Google for this and watched this morning @ work ---when I thought the clock was ticking on when I was going to get the virus myself ---- I am a glutton for punishment

 

 

 

A wafer thin mint

 

Has anyone seen the Oscar winning animated short, Logorama? Awesome movie!

This afternoon the temp got into the 60s and twice I saw promising signs of spring -- shirtless runners, all lean and taut. Perhaps it will be a good summer, living by the Greenway.

So many things utterly wrong with this story....

 

Ouch! Woman arrested for shaving 'bikini area' while driving

 

CUDJOE KEY, Fla. -  Florida Highway Patrol officers say Megan Barnes crashed into the back of a pickup truck because she was distracted while driving, but not because of talking or texting or changing the radio channel.

 

She was distracted, according to officers, because she was driving while shaving her "bikini area."

 

But wait, there's more.

I'll second that.

OMG that is just bizarre beyond words.  Driving with your ex to see your new BF is weird enough, but having 2 men that were interested in you when you look like her is really amazing. And oh yeah, the shaving thing, that is just wrong on a whole other level.

that's cutting it close

with her ex and on the way to see her current boyfriend???  sounds like a pretty hairy situation to me..

You're just envious of my view.  :angel:

That could do wonders for your property value! If you choose to sell, do it during the summer season lol

Lol, sometimes I just don't know what to say when I read the Cincinnati Equirer comments online...

 

Here's the story:

Daily Beast: Cincinnati Nation's Craziest City

 

The Daily Beast today came out with a list of the nation’s craziest city and somehow Cincinnati is No. 1.

And here's the comments:

    The greatest untold secret about the Cincinnati Area is how simple it is to find anonymous homosexual sex. I've lived in many other states under varied aliases and can tell you from experience that the anonymous homosexual sex scene here is fantastic, more than I deserve, which is why I have to share with the rest of the nation that if you want anonymous homosexual sex, move to Cincinnati.

 

 

We should let the Convention and Visitors Bureau know this.

World class sports! Thriving arts community! Award winning museums! Anonymous homosexual sex aplenty! Nearby aquarium! Top-notch zoo! Local super heroes! Did we mention the anonymous homosexual sex? Cincinnati! You'll be totally gay for us.

 

My original comment was going to be "huh...must be something in the high quality water."

Dang! And all these years, I've been looking for serious long-term commitment. I should have just said, "Screw it" and moved to Cinci. :-o

 

Oh! Oh! Now we know why you're so hot to relocate there! :-D

It's a good sign that spring is coming when you see the Goodyear blimp circling downtown Cleveland.

Actually they've been around all winter for Cavs games when the skies are clear......  I can hear the hum of the blimp from my house if I listen really closely!

Sorry. Late to the game here but it's never too late to comment on a skank like her. If they have a contest for Taking Out the Most White Trash of 2010, I nominate Megan "Bush-League" Barnes.

Are you sure this is a quote by Mark Twain?

It's just an urban legend as far as I've heard.

I've heard it quoted both by an english professor and online..either way someone had the opinion
