Life In the OC (That’s Oneida County)

Good lookin’ out on my part. I recognized that there was a hurricane in the gulf coast yesterday, and locked in prices at $2.99 a gallon. Well… to be fair, that’s still a rip off. All day at work yesterday, I reminded my co-workers to get gas. Hopefully, they followed through. I wasn’t there to remind them today.

They’re saying $4-$5 a gallon after this weekend. That’s a little ridiculous. We’ll see.

Well, nothing to worry about yet. I’m hungry.

I added a few links in yon blogroll on the side. My sister’s blog, Peanut Butter Jelly Time, my girlfriend’s blog, I Used To Be An Alligator. She’s not too happy with me at current.

I also added my sister’s friend, Heather’s blog. She’s spending a semester in Australia as my sister spent a semester in England. It’s fun to read, but we should prolly leave comments for her to update more often. It’s great hearing about far off lands, right?

Ah, FTP…

…no, not the flower people. Ryan taught me how to use a File Transfer Protocol system to make changes to my website. I think moving my site over from geocities will start moving a little quicker.

Good work, Ryan.

Now, let’s see if it actually happens.

We’re starting to move into a very difficult part of my life. I call it… OCTOBER.

October is my favorite month of the year, yet it is such a great challenge. You see, in October, there’s the Major League Baseball playoffs, the start of the NFL season, NASCAR’s chase for the championship, and now the World Series of Poker, which I am slowly becoming addicted to (by slowly, I mean I’ve watched every episode over the past two years).

Do I need to get a life?

It seems to me that the majority of America has forgotten what happened on this day, four years ago.

I feel that the news should still show footage of what happened. Maybe that way, people would understand why we’re at war.

As Americans, we tend to forget things very quickly.

That is all.

I’m trying to get a little more active here again, but it’s taking me a while. Bear with me, folks. I’m not like Snoop Dogg, you know. While he can come up with funky ass hits like every single day, I can’t come up with funny ass blogs like every single day….

But I do love the Chrysler commercial with Snoop Dogg and Lee Iaccoca.

Fo’ Shizzle, Lee Iaccocazizzle

My favorite commercial right now is the one where the King from the Burger King commercials picks off the pass in the NFL game. Too freakin’ funny. I love the king. Where is your god now.

I know almost every blog is talking about what has happened with Katrina, or the effects of Katrina. I think we could use a break from that, so I’ll try to post something that is supposed to be funny, but it probably won’t be funny at all.

I would swallow my pride
I would choke on the rinds
But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside
I would swallow my doubt
Turn it inside out
Find nothing but faith in nothing
Wanna’ put my tender
Heart in a blender
Watch it spin ’round to a beautiful oblivion
Rendezvous
Then I’m through with you.

My gripe is this: Is this all it takes to write a hit song? If so, I’ve written enough crappy songs. Where’s my millions of dollars and slutty groupies?
