Bejeweled 2:

what's your highest score in bejeweled 2?

i need some toilet challengers (i only play when i'm on the toilet)

current score... 1,942.800 on action mode... bring it...

FaT GuY DDR:

this clip is funny to me due to the major hustling/shuffling going on down under. why is the fatguy's legs hustlin so quickly? hahahha... watch it 'till the end... he eats it although i have a theory that it's staged... pissy fatguy's are fun to watch...

for more videos, go to eddiebanee.net

Rap:

i know rap is a dying breed 'n all w/ the youth (at the hands of this rock/emo/punk generation) and it's more nostalgic for many of us "oldies", but for those that absolutely love rap... down to it's real full essence that points back to hip-hop culture....

don't you agree that common (formerly known as common sense) is an AMAZING rapper? talk about timeless...

given that i concur w/ a lot of stuff he says, he DOES say things that i'm completely against as well... i.e. his song, G.O.D. (gaining one's definition) would be a bit too post modern for me... but yea, the mere fact that he makes you think should be enough to peep him out.

Sessions:

YN folks.. use your Xanga to promote the Summer Concert Series at YN!!!

the summer concert series are free outdoor concerts available to the public... so please come out and enjoy the chill atmosphere...

this sunday nights performance at 7:45PM:

Technology:

okay, i know many of you skip the parts in which i speak of technology, but this one is actually pretty interesting. toshiba has announced and shipped out their first 4oGB 1.8-inch drives today. why is this important you ask?

desktop computers typically hold 3.5-inch drives (they're whopping)
laptops typically hold 2.5-inch drives (they're tiny and don't consumer too much power to operate)
ipods and other mp3 players typically hold 1.8-inch drives...............

so hold up a second... think about this... 1.8-inch drives go into media players... thanks to toshiba, we now officially have the technology to make an iPod mini have 4oGBs of data... stack multiple 1.8-inch drives into an iPod and we can probably get hundreds of GB's running. do you see da crajies i speak of? technology is moving at such a rapid rate right now.. we're living in interesting times...

Woe is Me or You:

you know.. i was thinking about mourning the other day. is mourning for yourself, or is it purely for the deceased? i would believe that it's the latter. when you mourn for someone, it should have NOTHING to do w/ you. you are expressing great sorrow for someone else... anything otherwise would be disrespectful to the dead.

obviously death is a very sensitive subject and i'm somewhat of a jerk to be bringing something like this up, but dang... how often do you see people that use the deceased as a tool for an attention shift to themselves? how crazy is that? it TOTALLY defeats the purpose of mourning in my eyes. i personally believe that the time of mourning is a special time solely focused on the dead. given that there obviously needs to be a shift EVENTUALLY on the ones affected by death, BUT please... give your condolences to the dead first.. mourn properly, then when your respects have been paid, only then should you focus on your pain.

now... death isn't something that comes to many of us on a normal basis... i think i just used this illustration to bring it's template to a greater meaning behind it all.. that meaning would be love and compassion. those are things we can use each day... i believe the main point in proper mourning is separation of ones self from the situation at hand. to purely focus on the other person w/ out thinking of yourself. that is a powerful reflection of love and compassion.

does anyone jive w/ what i'm saying here? comments/opinions/disagreements/confusions welcomed.

Dubai:

it's becomming more and more serious that i may be staying in dubai next year...

must... mentally.. prepare...

lunch:

didn't bring lunch today so it looks like i'll be having california chicken cafe. anyone want to join me at noon sharp? holler back.

maybe i'll just take a nap instead.. we'll see

Beef:

i mentioned this the other day but the only two beefs that are actually good well done would be brisket and prime rib. ANY other red meats 'gotta be medium rare or rare for it to be proper. well done beef is just out of the freaking question. don't expect me to respect you if you're a well done man... hahaha (i kid.. but not really....) brisket and prime rib have a completely different taste when cooked well done that brings out the beef flavor while other beef, the more well done, the less meat taste you get.

i also don't particularly like when folks use wet marinade on their beef. it's all about the dry action.. A1 can eat balls for you poser beef lovers. i have mucho respect for brazilian style bbq because it takes it to the essence of bbq. it's based on the quality of the meat, the salt that brings out the BEEF FLAVOR, and the way it's cut and even put in your damn mouth. this is beef... not bells and whistles...

going back to the wet marinade vs. the dry marinade. i've learned that most people that truly love beef prefer a dry marinade... while the meat n00bs dowse their beef w/ wet sauces... do 'yall see where i'm getting at here? they're not looking for beef flavor.. they're looking for sauce flavor... i personally believe that sauce revolves around itself while dry marinade points back to the beef.

case in point... take your ass to a brazilian bbq place... you'll get complimented on the type of beef you choose along w/ the way you eat it...

now that some of you are butt hurt or offended by my beef w/ beef... the ONE rule that ALWAYS nullifies ANY of my food snobiness is FREE FOOD. free food is the best food... i will NEVER complain on free food made w/ love. so if you ever decide to make my snobby a$$ eat your food, TRUST ME, i'll appreciate and love it, even though it tastes like a cardboard box.

that is all...
