Yeah, my new suit. The suit and shirt is from Bertoni and tie from Mazzini. Can't wait to cut the rug with this one! It's really comfortable and the fabric makes it very durable. Of course, it cost me a couple of g's, but hey, gotta be snappy. It had a nice style and most importantly, not black. Even the shirt was pretty nice to use by itself. Feel free to comment! Some day I'll be as snappy as my hero and idol, Dwayne Johnson!
Also known as the retired pro-wrestler, The Rock. I love you, man. I do.
Now, don't come here and tell me this kid's obsession isn't cute!? Everyone should aspire to have their kids on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. She has talented, weird, cute and funny kids on her show all the time. What a gimmick. And the kids get a free present too! Some kid got a Gibson guitar on that show. Damn.
Yeah, as the title says, geeks comes in all ages. Be it a 2-yr old or a 56-yr old, we're all geeks, me included. Yesterday, I tried being a great mentor and teach Tobie's lil sis to play Wii Sports, both the tennis and the golf game. Of course, maybe I was expecting waaaay to much, but hey, some kids learn fast and she did. In the end, we lost the tennis match by one set and actually, she got a +7 over par in Wii Golf. Pretty good, in my opinion.
She got pretty good at swinging the wii-mote, pretty fast. There's some YouTube videos out there with 3-4 year olds kicking ass in Wii Tennis. But I don't wanna pressure her too much. Yet. Now here comes the interesting part, another kid saw us play and decided he could beat ut in Wii Golf..
Yep, had to inherit the geek genes from someone, that someone being my dad. He actually picked up the basics in Wii Golf and ended with 1 under par in the end. Talk about being showed up. Later in the evening, he discovered that I had downloaded Super Mario 1 & 3 to the Wii. Now he plays that too.
I think I'm proud of what I've done. Now only to get my mom hooked on this too. Then I won't be bugged when I play games.
(Sorry for the quality of the pictures, but I only had my cellphone lying nearby)
Before I start my rant on superheroes, check the kid out! I used to dance like that when I was 4 too. Not. This korean kid has mad skillz. Too bad, he'll probably end up at a sweatshop, making Nike shoes for an hourly wage of $2. BUT! If this kid lives in the US, he'll end up a very good, gay dancing asian. Kinda like William Hung, minus the singing. I hope for the latter.
Okay, moving on, today I read an article that actually opened up possibilities in becoming a superhero. A man in Texas, Larry Hatch, age 57, woke up one day and noticed that his hands and feet had become larger, clubbing actually, becoming really big. In addition, his face had grown deep wrinkles in his face and his hair grew faster than usual. One of the first incidents happened at a friend's house, where his face became more red than usual and his friend was afraid he was going to have a heartattack. In the end, poor Larry passed out and was brought to the hospital. I won't reveal the reason for his so-called "Incredible Hulkification", but it's in this article. He went from normal guy to "monster" in a couple of weeks. Very interesting.
Let's just say we could trigger this condition in lab specimens. We could make Hulkmen. Suddenly we'd not only see superheroes on the silverscreen, but in real life! Maybe genetically altered specimens capable of moving at twice or thrice (!) the speed of a normal human. It's of course a question of ethics, but it would be fun. Even this chick has a superpower! The power of bad, bodily odor! The Incredible Smelly SuperModel!
Here's a cool band from the UK, who I really like nowadays. Their vocalist has a mad, light feel on her vocals and they even have a japanese girl as a guitarist who sputters out crazy lyrics on another track called "Milk Crisis". This is the band "The Go! Team" and their song "Wrath of Marcie". Looks old school, but enjoyable. Other recommended songs are "Grip Like A Vice" and the aforementioned "Milk Crisis. I'll probably buy their album "Proof of Youth" soon enough.
Check the girl out. She is cuuuu-uute ~~<3 Umm, the beat is pretty good too and Busta Rhymes trying to bust a move is entertaining enough. Now to find out where I can get those "Teriyaki Source" tees.
Ah, Imogen Poots, yes, her agents wanted to change her name, since soooo many thinks of flatulence when they hear her last name. No worries, she can take my surname. This is a girl I could marry. Oh yes, a girl that can survive a zombie apocalypse in London in "28 Weeks Later", is a girl worth marrying. Imogen, if you're reading this, please marry me. (No, this is NOT stalker behavior).
Anywhooooo, Long time no see, oh avid readers! I have been gone, going and gone the last month mostly because of a healthy dose of lazyness and some practicing with the saxamaphone! Want proof maybe?
What else? Went to Trondheim to play in the "championship" and getting crunk. There's a lot of crazy people in Tr.heim. But still it was most excellent, mostly because it was being at this HUGE bandcamp convention (BCC) and people were trying to sell you mouthpieces and reeds, cleaning kits and play-along books. Great trip, great trip. And no, no flute up my ass this time. :)
I've also fallen into my yearly "state of weakness" where I lounge on the sofa, coughing up mucus and having wild, fever dreams about Dorothy and Toto, Billy and Jimmy Lee, Hendrix and Marley and of course you guys. I love hallucinations. Ever seen "Across the Universe"? A movie/musical where people sing happy Beatles songs and go acid-tripping while Bono makes a cameo singing: Coo-Coo-Ka-Chooo! ( I am the walrus, I think.)
Yeah here are my saviors, double shot of paracet, vitaminbears and cough syrup, supposed to make me healthy till tomorrow, where I'll embark where a filipino man might not really fit in, not me, that's for sure. We're going to the mountains, a social excursion with the younger staff at work. Prepare to see good pictures when I get back on Sunday.
Anywhoo, wrapping up, download songs from this DJ, Dj Skeet Skeet. He mixes great songs making them waaaay better than before, like "Party Like A Rockstar" (I didn't like the original, but the remix is waay better) and Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit ( Tastes Like Skeet Skeet Remix)"
