John’s Crawlspace

For a long time, I passed the band Brand New off as another emo-ish piece of crap. I remember when I lived in the dorms a lot of people listened to them, and I just ignored it. I don’t really remember at what point I started to pay attention to them, but eventually I heard the album Deja Entendu and it grew on me a lot. I still don’t really like the first album, as it’s just too ‘poppy’ for my tastes, but I’ve been looking forward to the new one for awhile. It’s titled “The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me”, and it comes out on November 21st, but you can get it right now. here is the “Oink” release, and here is a release that came out this morning - It may be higher quality, I’m not sure because it doesn’t say in the .NFO file and I honestly don’t care that much.

It’s impossible to make a movie like Borat’s and not have any repercussions, namely people becoming upset after finding out they were tricked and are now the subject of a joke that is sweeping across the nation. I’ve seen several articles floating around about people losing jobs as a result of the movie and etc. Here’s two of them: “How I Was Duped By Ali G” and “Humiliated Frat Boys Sue Borat“.

I remember in middle school, our computer teacher tried to teach us to type by using games. The only one I really remember was a track and field game with events like someone running on a track, and the faster you typed what they saw on the screen, the faster the guy ran, and there were hurdles for him to jump over and stuff. I guess it made learning to type a bit more interesting, but I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more if we had a game like this one.

Free Stuff: $50 Amazon Gift Certificate (If you qualify), Heavenly Scents candle, “Fast Food Nation” movie screening (in select areas only), Aquaphor healing ointment, 3 fragrance samples in customized box (the site is kind of cool too), Kodak inkjet photo paper sample, Chick Fil-A breakfast entree, Eucerin calming creme, Senseo gourmet coffee, “Fur Kills” stuff, Head & Shoulders shampoo, and a Free Pet Pedometer. Oh yeah, and click here to find out how to get an autographed photo of Bob Barker. Sure it’s free, but you can’t put a price tag on something that amazing anyway.

You can download “The Pick Of Destiny” right here. Don’t have time to listen to it because I’m heading out for the night. Enjoy.

Edit: Forgot to add that deepdiscountdvd is having a 20% off sale. You can use each of these promo codes once per an account: DVDTALK, USATODAY, NYTIMES, SUPERSALE, DDDCD, DD1110, DVDPRICESEARCH, LATIMES, ESPN, YAHOO, JIM, and WGN. Time to start buying back some of my DVDs that have mysteriously disappeared over the years.

The Borat movie opened up last Friday, and I was determined to go see it. I got some people together and we ended up driving to Maryland to see it, since none of the theaters around here had it for some reason. The movie definitely didn’t let me down. It was absolutely hilarious, and just as offensive as I had imagined it would be. I’ve been a fan of Ali G for awhile so maybe I’m a bit biased, but even the people who were with me that knew nothing about the movie in advance thought it was funny. I’d definitely reccomend you check it out, unless you’re easily offended. My only complaint was the excessive amount of male nudity, but I was laughing so hard that it really didn’t bother me. I’d like to know which parts of the movie were staged and which parts actually happened - I’m sure the majority of the footage was of real, unsuspecting people, but some of the stuff (I won’t ruin it for you if you haven’t seen it) would have probably landed Mr. Cohen in jail if he actually did it without telling anyone beforehand.

Lately I’ve seen a lot of sites using services such as those provided by Rapidshare and MegaUpload to store files, such as albums, tv episodes, and the like. Rapidshare seems to be the one most commonly used. If you’re looking for something in particular, check out Rapidshared.org - A search engine for files hosted by Rapidshare.

By now I think it’s safe to say that a decent amount of you probably rely on torrents for your downloading needs, be it movies, music, or whatever. If you’re still relatively new to torrents, or want to learn about them, this guide/FAQ should come in useful.

I rarely ever have time to actually sit down and play videogames anymore. But in the past when I actually had spare time, sometimes I’d look online for codes and cheats. They’re typically not too hard to find, but you can rest assured that codes and cheats for any given game can be found at gamecheats.eu, the video game cheat codes database. While on the topic of videogames… Out of all the time I spent playing them when I was younger, a significant amount of that time was spent playing Goldeneye on N64 with friends. I just stumbled across a level editor for the game, and while I definitely don’t have the time now to mess around with something like this, back when I was 15 I probably would have spent ridiculous amounts of time experimenting with it. It’s still pretty damn cool that it exists, though.

There are certain things in life that people don’t usually forget. Who could forget their first kiss? Or the first time they drove a car? And what about their first goatse?

Well that’s about it, yet another short post. I really think that when I graduate (this December) I’ll have at least a little more free time to update the site. I plan on ditching Wordpress and going back to a more traditional looking site (more along the lines of the older layout), with individual sections that have actual content.
