Requiem for a Dream

If I ever do any video editing and need a really intense song, it'll be this version of the theme from Requiem for a Dream, as shown in these two videos.





MMMmmmm...Bears and Half-Life. What if Gordon Freeman played football? Would he be better than Reggie Bush?

How to do Nothing at Work and Still Get Paid

That is the title of this video.


I agree with most of the points raised. I most certainly keep a cluddered desk and I always set up my sick days beforehand. Just the other week I wanted to go to a St Patrick's day themed drinking fest on a Friday morning. So the day before, I started coughing and complaining about my allergies to my supervisor. When I called the next morning, she actually suggested that I not come into work. I have also used the bad reaction to food excuse, the take my girlfriend to the hospital excuse, the flu excuse, and of course the bad reaction to medicine excuse. Wow, I have taken a lot of sick days.

The best way to do nothing at work and still get paid, however, is to work in an industry that has no competitors, profits, and little accountability while still having an overblown budget that is paid by the whole country. Mmmmm, bureaucracy, the Eden of the lazy, overpaid employee.

Bored

I have been painfully bored the last two days (which is probably why I have resorted to blogging again).

I swear time is just craaawwwwlllliiiinnnnnnggggg by at the pace of a snail that is towing a sloth behind it while crossing a river of molasses in super slow-motion replay.

My Dwight Schrute bobblehead isn't even entertaining me at the moment. My life has lost all meaning.

The Trend Continues

The vanity plate-izing of the English language continues and Motorola is once again leading the charge. It has two new phones out the KRZR and the RISR.

What has happened to spelling and vowels in this country? I swear people soon won't speak English anymore; they'll speak NGLSH. And all the great novels will be written in SMS. The war on vowels must stop. Do it for the the children.

Guillermo Canas Must Be Taken With Food

While gearing up for the clay court season, Master of the Universe Roger Federer had this to say about his recent upset losses at the hands of Guillermo Canas:
"I think if I lost to two different players I would think I wasn't playing well, but with one guy I can think 'OK, this guy is on a roll'. It's just easier to digest."

Canas on a roll? I'd prefer him with a nice biscuit. That would make him much easier to digest in my opinion. What kind of biscuit? Is there any point even asking when the answer is oh, so obvious?
