So I'm gonna watch the debate for as long as I can stand it. Once I start the boredom divertion click to ESPN or "The Deuce" it's all downhill, and a few minutes later I'll forget all about the talking heads on every other channel. Hopefully I'll absorb as much as I can while I'm there in order to have a decent conversation, or at least a response, to someone who engages me about it. I think that this site kinda sums up the way I feel about this years election.

Today I'm gonna do stuff. I'm gonna try to do all the stuff. It probably won't happen, but as of right now, I plan on doin' it. It's good to have goals in life ya know. Wish me luck. Check out this idiot.
This is a self portrait of me chillin' in the "big tent" at Bonnaroo 2004. Unfortunately I took almost no pictures for the three days I was there. That's OK, I remember MOST of it, and the last two days weren't all that aesthetically pleasing anyway.
I don't know if this is a sad confession on the state of this blogs content, but this guy is how 80% of my visitors get here. He pops up when you search Google Images for "South Park". Some days he's like sixth in line, sometimes he's on page three. Good job dude. Keep sendin'em our way. Even if we aren't what they're lookin' for, we'll make 'em like us, an keep'em comin' back, DAMNIT!
You can look at this, but you sure as hell can't touch this.

Theres a great new NIKE Gridiron commercial out. I think the Michael Vick Experience would make a great ride (uhhh, yeah, anyway). It's made by the same folks that brought you this commercial featuring a CGI version of everyone's favorite former Hokie and big brother to this jackass.

A couple friends of mine have opened a butcher shop in Staunton. It's called the BackDoor Butcher and is located in the Lewis Street Market at 120 South Lewis Street. They specialize in organic, antibiotic and steroid free meats grown locally here in the valley. John the Butcher has been in the meat business for over 25 years and he certainly knows his cuts. I dropped in one day and caught John while he was cutting some ribs. His skill was that of a master carpenter with many tools being very similar. His ability to take a side of meat and extract beautiful portions of marbled goodness was amazing. He knew just where to cut and did so with precision. With a small shop like theirs you get a much more personalized experience in shopping for your beef, pork, or lamb. John can tell you what the freshest or best cut of the day is, or take a custom order. He also has plenty of advice on preparing and storing meats, and the inside scoop on little known delicacies such as pork tongue. If you live in, or are visiting the area stop by the BackDoor Butcher, and tell 'em I sent you.
I'm headin' to school early today to study, aka cram, for my first Econ exam. It was supposed to be on Thursday but somehow Mahmood, my professor, got a day ahead and instead of giving us an extra day to study, he pushed the exam up one class. Good call Mahmood, pffft. So I plan on hunkering down in the yet visited library at PVCC and takin' a look at some supply/demand charts and endless economic vocabulary. Not to mention that I fell asleep last night before doing my Bio lab online, so I've got to do that sometime today. Lucky me gets to revisit the world of genetics that I remember so fondly from BIO 1. Oh, and its pouring rain. Can I get a "Hell Yeah!" for Tuesdays? PFFT.
This weekend I'll be volunteering at the second annual Fortune-Williams Music Festival. The event features 2 days of varied artists pulled mainly from folk and country musical pools. However, there's usually are several local and regional rock acts. There's two main stages, a large tent for the feature acts, and a smaller second stage for free shows. Shows in the main area end at 10. After that most of the local bars host bands and don't charge cover. So if your in the area, check it out. I'll be running around all weekend wrappin' and unwrappin' cables, setting mikes, and lifting lots of heavy shit. Anyway, it'll be cool. Everyone that runs it and volunteers are friends, so we have a good time.
I watch the Howard Stern show nightly. From 11-12 EST on E! in case you didn't know. Unfortunately I only get to hear the radio show live when I'm driving home from DC on Monday mornings. Anyway, I came across this journal entry from an intern of Stern's. It describes what goes on during commercial breaks at the show. I'm pretty sure if you don't know anything about the crew of the show you won't give a shit. But I was interested.
