Have had zero time for this site lately, super busy with work. Six months ago, I found myself going home from work almost every night of the week. Lately though, it seems I’ve had something going on every night. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I feel like I’m constantly running around. Anyway, I’m taking a break from working on laying out newsletters and thought I’d post that I am heading to Rothbury after work today. I could probably make an entire post just bitching about creating newsletters… Different email clients all render certain HTML elements differently, some ignore certain tags altogether, and you have to use HTML tables because CSS positioning is largely ignored… I feel like I’m creating websites circa 1995, and in that regard it definitely blows. Did you know that Outlook 2007 uses MS Word (not even Internet Explorer, which in this case would actually be great) to render HTML? What kind of sense does that make!?!
Anyway, This is the 2nd year of the festival, and it’s also the 2nd year I’m going… And I can’t wait. Come on clock! In the meantime, the life of a nail is pretty damn cool. I’ll try to make some time to post about the festival when I get back. Have an awesome July 4th weekend, I’m pretty sure I will.

The new Killswitch Engage CD leaked. I used to listen to these guys all the time… The first 2 CDs (Killswitch Engage and Alive or Just Breathing) are awesome, and the third (The End of Heartache) wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t too big a fan of their last effort (As Daylight Dies). Not sure what to expect from this latest effort (which, like their first album, is self-titled) but we’ll see… This album hits stores on June 30th.
Killswitch Engage - Killswitch Engage (2009)
Oh yeah, even if you don’t like this new album… If you’re not familiar with their earlier work, definitely check out those first 2 CDs.

For those Facebook users out there, I hope you claimed your custom URLs as soon as you were given the option. Some people weren’t so lucky.
I know that this image of Megan Fox and an adoring fan is all over the internet right now, but I still thought it was worth sharing. Some of the variations I’ve seen are pretty funny, too.
Don’t Even Reply is my new favorite site. This dude basically takes the concept of prank calling people and applies it to Craigslist classified ads. Almost every post on the site is hilarious, but I especially liked Camry Killer, 420 Friendly, Vintage Liquor, Kittens for my Tiger, and Ride to Bonnaroo. If you don’t like these, your sense of humor probably sucks.
I haven’t had much time for the site lately, I’ve been training for a naked duathlon. Actually, I haven’t been running at all for the past 2 weeks or so… I fell while rock climbing and landed on my ankle at a weird angle, so my physical activity has been kind of limited. It definitely sucks. Rock climbing is still relatively new to me though, and I love it. Anyway, that’s all for now, I really just wanted to post that Don’t Even Reply site on here.

So, uh… “New Music Thursday” - Don’t be misled by the post title, as this certainly isn’t gonna happen every Thursday. I’ll be realistic and say that I will probably never post another album on a Thursday, ever. But here’s some (relatively) new music, including the new Clutch and Mars Volta albums. For those of you not in the know, Mike Patton is the dude from Faith No More, I’m slightly obsessed with everything he does. Enjoy!
I don’t feel like uploading any more stuff, and most people seem to know how to find and download almost any album that has ever been released, so that’s all for now.

Every time someone sends me an article at work, I lower the standards which I hold those around me to.
This lady essentially fed her baby feces in order to keep the baby sick, so she could blog about her sick child and gain the attention (read: pity) of the (presumably) miniscule slice of internet traffic that ended up on her mom blog.
I don’t even really know what to say about that. At least she wasn’t feeding the kid crunchberries.

So I got swine flu last week. It’s definitely not as bad as everyone says it is. I’ve still been going to work and everything. I think I’m alright.
World’s biggest snake? I’m not sure, but it’s the biggest one I’ve ever seen…
I love it when cops are caught on video doing… Well, anything wrong, really. In this video, a cop bodyslams some lady who didn’t seem to be posing much of a threat. Obviously I can’t really say that with any degree of certainty since I don’t know all the details of the situation, but I’d tend to assume… Anyway, the site that I saw the video on, Served and Protected, is pretty cool, all kinds of similar videos.
This may not be news to some of you, but there is a new Mega Man game in the works… Mega Man 2.5D. Check out the trailer, it looks pretty cool.
I’m heading to the beach (Wildwood) for the weekend with some friends, hoping to chug warm vodka on the beach with some cops at midnight, hopefully I can make that happen. Definitely rocking out to the worst song of all time on the ride down.
