There was an earthquake in Chile and all I could think about was hockey.

I hope I die before I do a halftime show.

Everybody has been busting The Who's balls about phoning in their greatest hits during the Super Bowl, but let's look at the alternative first. Lady Gaga? Nickleback? What if The Jet's made it into the game? Would we be hearing that horrible "New York" song? I know, you're probably asking "Which one John? There are literally thousands of song named, or about New York". Who cares? They're probably all bad. And remember The Black Eyed Peas playing with Charlie Daniels? Was that the Super Bowl? Who cares?

The Who cares! Probably not actually, but to show that they used to care here is the link to their 1965 masterpiece "My Generation"

Even though everyone knows that their masterpiece was blah blah blah blah. Who cares?

finding time to grind, daily.

Nasum "Helvete"

That earthquake in Hati really got me thinking about that tsunami in Thailand which really got me thinking about that band Nasum. Apparently the singer/guitarist from Nasum was vacationing in Thailand and napping on the beach with his girlfriend when the tsunami struck, killing them both. So in honor of global catastrophe and in memoriam of their victims I've provided a link to download Nasum's grind masterpiece that is "Helvete". Helvete is Swedish for "hell" by the way. How metal is that?

In other news I've been keeping up with my resolution just fine, thanks for asking. I've found myself on several occasions truly glad that I've had my camera with me and thankful for my resolution to give me a shot in the arm to take more photographs. I've also found myself taking a pictures at the last possible second before going to bed just so I don't break my resolution. I've provided some examples of both.

So all in all, things are going well. Except for earthquakes.

And, yes, I have absolutely no qualms with eating a huge bowl of spaghetti and meatballs right before bed. And who are you to judge anyways?

You say you want a resolu-u-tion....

Its 2010 and I'm absolutely thrilled. According to Hollywood we either are 2 years from certain doom (see this years special effects masturbatory thrill ride "2012"), 5 years from hover boards (see the classic futuristic cock-tease "Back to the Future II") or 15 years over due for some serious Orwellian dystopia (self explanatory). In any case 2010 is going to be MY year, so get your own.

I've rarely been one to make new years resolutions with the exception of the one I made wherein I quick smoking, but this year I've decided to make another one that I plan to keep. I'm sure this has been done before, but I've decided to take at least one photograph per day in 2010. I do not, however, plan on posting every single photograph because taking 365 photographs that are worth showing to the word in a single year is an incredibly daunting task that I'd rather not let the internet hold me accountable for. The rules are simple for this resolution and are as follows:

1) No cell phone photographs. No webcam photographs either. This is the blogosphere, not myspace.
2) No doubling up on photographs, i.e.- "I'll take seven photographs today so I can take the week off, chuckle chuckle chuckle...". Get off the couch. History Channel will be there when you get back.
3) Work photographs do not count. These photos have to be on my own time.
4) No erotic self portraits. This should be self explanatory.

Other than that, it looks like I'll have at least 365 photos by the end of 2010 to look back and laugh at/with. To prove I'm taking this seriously, this is what was happening when the ball dropped on 2010.
Yes, I was at home watching my dogs maul my wife. Oh, and maybe I should limit the amount of pictures I take right before bed because "Oops I just remembered that I forgot to take a picture!", but that's for another year perhaps.

So goodnight 2009, you were alright, but my super badass new friend 2010 just showed up and he's a great dancer. We're going to party like its 11 years ago. So I'll see you in the funny papers.

wedding nights eve

Seriously if you ever want to have one of the best, yet most stressful times you could ever imagine, then get married. It takes a lot out of you, but you end up viewing all the good with none of the bad. Plus it is a good excuse to throw a party that isn't at your house. I'm not going to post any pictures of the wedding on here, but I will show you our good friends Allison and Jeff practicing our wedding "ceremony" and teaching us to "dance", as well as some good ol'fashioned tipsy faces and an annoying picture of my dog thrown in to boot.

On a lighter note, Machida is going to stomp Shogun this weekend. Holla if you can hear me. Next stop, Gainesville FL for The Fest 8. See you there, show you afterwards.
