Ok, so basically at this point I have no idea what I am doing with this waste of server space. I've thought about applying myself by writing about something specific... say sports commentary, tv shows, movie reviews. But I think a mixture of all that and more is basically what is going to happen. The end result? Brain puke, just like the address to the site indicates. Not sure where that will lead, but probably humor, dark places, killer rabbits and the like are all possibilities. Well this is it for 2010, let's hope 2011 doesn't suck balls and such. ...so it goes...

First of all, if I'm stuck I assume its a deserted island and not say - an outlying Hawaiian island. Because if I get stuck there, then I deserve my fate. However, for the sake of this list - let's assume its some 2 mile island in the middle of nowhere WITHOUT the time travel ability of that weird ass island from LOST on the tele. What 10 albums (CD's, vinyl - doesn't matter) would you want to have with you? You could never listen to anything else - and no greatest hits, compilations, or collections allowed. I've composed a rough draft of my list that follows: Green Day - Dookie New Found Glory - self-titled Rage Against the Machine - Evil Empire blink-182 - Dude Ranch Finch - What it is to Burn Fall Out Boy - From Under the Cork Tree Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP Notorious BIG - Life After Death Foo Fighters - Colour and the Shape Search the City - A Fire So Big the Heavens Can See It Basically this is stuff, that at this point in my life, I have listened to r...

Well the year has come to an end, 2011 looms large on the horizon... so... what now? Let's do a quick recap of 2010 first. WVU made the final four. I did not have one successful date/relationship. WVU football is in disarray. The coach that people didn't want during the season, proved why on all fronts during one of the more embarrassing bowl performances of recent memory. Anyway, here are my resolutions for the upcoming year. 1) Get healthy. This means running more, eating better, continuing to play soccer, and taking care of any injuries along the way instead of just shrugging them off and refusing to see a doctor when they still hurt weeks later. 2) Avoid unhealthy habits. Smoking, smokey places, terrible foods, drinking too much and/or too often... that kind of thing. 3) Never give up, don't ever give up... You've got a way with words, but you really need to hear this. Don't fear the devil you know, but the devil that you don't. That's the thi...

So let me get this story straight, this was just a chance you had to take Did I even cross your mind? This will be the last time you cross mine For heaven's sake I see right through you, I've got secrets too Just like my favorite scene from my favorite movie The world was spinning underneath my feet but this ain't no Hollywood ending This city was built on secrets, it's where all the good ones come from You must have missed me, 'cause you don't have a thing to say every time I go away If we're playing for keeps you already beat me Now I've come undone just so you could stitch me up This damage seems to suit you If things were better without me ever knowing the truth, these ties will sever so long forever I hope everything works out for you you already burnt that bridge over the water So let's get this story straight, here's your last chance Your lies can't hide your shaking, nervous hands I saved the best shots I've got for you, this is m...

Where to begin on this fantastic Monday... well... As I passed Sheetz on my way to work there was an ambulance in the oncoming lane, blaring sirens and lights flashing it swerved around cars to make it through the intersection. BUT, did blonde dumb girl in a ford focus care? Hell no. "I have a green light," she thought to herself, "that gives ME the right of way." And she proceeded to come within a few feet of t-boning an ambulance rushing someone to the hospital. This normally wouldn't stick out in my mind anymore than any other random asshole driving through the streets of Morgantown, however, this time was different. Not only are the students gone meaning this was possibly a young professional driving like a dipshit, but also there was a similar incident on the news last night. After I finished a rousing couple of hours on COD: Turbo Ops, I turned back to the TV which was left on local news since I had it on the channel from the Steelers game earlier st...

Well today is ... another day. Nothing particularly special about it. Getting ready for a fantastic weekend with Uncle Ricky if the weather allows. Somehow this party he has tried to plan for weeks, months, whatever it has been... looks to be thinning in attendance daily. I am dragging Jason "Nutz" McCleary with me. Like it or not buddy. So in order to better enjoy this trip, I figured I would bring along some tasty music and snacks. Ok I'll probably just bring a case of beer and a smile. The saharan like drought of my love life has hit an all time low. Which, unlike the band name, isn't all that cool. Or musical for that matter. Dear Maria, let me in? Maybe if I knew a chick named Maria... but I digress. Going on 9 months+ at this point, at least I know without a doubt that I have no illegitimate children roaming the earth... that's a plus.

I am all that is positive. Despite the worse drought in hookup history, I will make a push for the playoffs. Its 4th down, you got to shoot a 3 to win the game, cause you're down by one goal and trying to avoid a shootout! I am in a weird mood. This Saturday will be epic - here's hoping I don't wake up looking like I fought concrete with my face.

I am currently at work and trying to process state taxes for PA and WV. Unfortunately both state servers are completely down for the time being. Upon doing a little research - I found exactly half (or 25 for the math disabled) of the states were down. I will assume this is some sort of routine maintenance, however, it sure would be nice to know about so I'm not put into a panic about late charges on the withholding tax this month. Thanks US gov't (or combination of 25 state gov'ts working horribly together) for the awful communication skills making a stressful Friday for me. Cocks.

In the following days (or weeks - depending on when I get around to it) I will be teaching you how to survive the inevitable zombie uprising. Today, I present for your general knowledge lesson 1 - shelter and lesson 2 - supplies. After you've rounded up basic supplies (weapons, food, clothes, water, blankets, etc.) one should know seek out appropriate housing. What, you ask, is the key to this search? Well I'm glad you asked. Rule #1 - The fewer entrances the better. The last thing you want are zombies crawling at you from 7 different angles. Instead seek out an abandoned military base, prison, or bomb shelter. Even though a high-rise apartment has few entrances THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA - how are you getting out? Jumping or zip lining to a neighboring building? Fine. But what if it too, is flooded with brain eaters? So you see my point on avoiding the high rise apartment complex. One should check that if one entrance is blocked, there is a secondary exit always availabl...
