cool wordpress themes

It’s almost Friday

On May 22, 2008, In Blogging, by Yoshi

Not that the days matter much nowadays for me being in recovery and all. I’m working since I work from home, but it’s not quite the same being drugged up on Percoset and programming. LOL Things just take longer because I have to quadruple check my work. Crazy but true.

Other than that, I was considering doing a Thursday Thirteen list, but honestly, you’d think it’d be easier to come up with 13 items to talk about. It’s just crazy, isn’t it? Katie gave me a good list theme, but I think I’ll save that for a rainy day when I decide to actually do the list.

Recovery is painful. But at least it’s recovery.

Youtube Video showing 164mph

On May 20, 2008, In News, by Yoshi

So you might have heard about the guy who video taped going about 164mph on I-5 on his motorcycle. He also happened to get pulled over just shortly after that video. Does anyone here think that perhaps it’s some sort of fake thing going on here? Maybe I just don’t get it, but why would he be allowed to post the video on youtube of all places if the video is showing proof that he was speeding? Wouldn’t the police confiscate the video and keep it for themselves? You can find some more information about at KOMO TV news. The video is after the bump. Here’s a quote from the video description: “Me taking my Honda CBR600RR out for a test run. I got pulled over shortly after, and this video got me convicted of careless driving and reckless endangering. I advise other bike riders to obey the posted speed limits.”

The fastest I’ve ever gone is 150mph on the Garden State Parkway in Jersey. I’ll never do that again. But honestly, it was such a rush.

BTW, this is post 666. I thought to do something special, but I think this post is just fine.

It’s monday already?

On May 19, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

Where did the weekend go? Well, ok, I know where it went, but honestly, it went by too fast. Well, Saturday was nice and slow, but Sunday went by way too fast. It didn’t help that I was on pain killers this whole time. If I had any odd converstaions with you since Thursday, then you’ll know that I’m still on percoset and I’m not responsible for what I might say.

I was going to do a Memory Monday post today, but honestly, my brain is mush. I’m not capable of writing a real post. I went to my google reader and I ended up hitting “mark all for read” because I just couldn’t assimilate all that data. Sorry you guys I didn’t read all your websites.

At this point I’m just debating on whether or not I just want to lay here and do nothing or lay here and do nothing and watch tv. Decisions, I tell you.

Hellboy 2

On May 18, 2008, In Entertainment, by Yoshi

With all the superhero type movies and such and action packed movies coming out this summer, I almost feel like a lot of folks are forgetting about Hellboy 2. If you weren’t aware of the sequel, this time Ron Perlman is back again as Hellboy and it looks like most of the roles are reprised. Doug Jones is playing Abe Sapien and Selma Blair is back as Liz. It looks pretty good. Guillermo del Toro is back again directing the movie so this is good. I know he won’t mess it up. Trailer is after the bump.

Photohunt : Candy

On May 17, 2008, In Photos, by Yoshi

Click thumbnail to view a larger image

While on a road trip down to Texas (from St. Louis), cybr and I encountered these candy/soda machines at a rest stop in Mississippi. I’m sure you’re wondering why this picture is such a big deal, but you probably should notice the lack of chains and bars around the machines. That was an astonishing thing for me, since all candy and soda machines seem to be behind chains or bars. It made me think there are still some places where the crime isn’t so bad.

Are you participating in the PhotoHunt? Let me know by leaving a comment!

TGIF

On May 16, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

Unfortunately this weeks TGIF post had to be pre-written because I’m in the hospital and should be getting discharged today. I had to stay overnight because I have sleep apnea and they just wanted to be sure I was ok, presumably because I just had anesthesia and I guess I might have some issues with anesthesia and sleep apnea. Who knows. All I know is I don’t have to pay for it thank goodness.

Breigh and Xander just got back from an awesome vacation, and they just celebrated their 8th anniversary! You should probably go wish some congratulations and just say hello. You really need to check out the pictures she took too because they’re OMG so beautiful! (Xander if you have a blog, I didn’t know! If you do, comment and leave me the address!)

I know I just talked about Katie last week, but she just got her hair dyed. You should check it out, it looks so awesome! I wanna dye my hair too. But not pink like hers. LOL I’m thinking more like auburn or light brown. I’ve had black hair for almost 40 years now. I could use the change.

Lisa is back from disney and sounds like she had a great time. I’m just so glad that we as a community could help her out and give her a great time with her family. Now of course, she comes back and she’s laid off from her job. Please head on over there and give her some love. I’m sure she could use some right now!

Melanie mentioned that she might like to try out a Blogger reality show, where her webcam is on 24/7 and never turned off. Kinda like a Big Brother for bloggers. I think it might be a great idea, but I might have to agree with her dad that it might be a bad idea because someone could easily take any scene they say and warp it. But honestly, I think it’s kinda cool. I mean they have justin.tv and all, why not plaidtoaster tv?

cybr and Muse made the big announcement. You should probably head on over there and see what the fuss is about. It’s so happy it’s crazy! (Shameless advert: Don’t forget to check out A Little Scary, it’s a great web comic with new content every Monday and Thursday!)

Pandora finally made a post recently. I am waiting to hear about her Germany vacation and about her laptop drowning. Should be interesting to hear!

Meesh just bought a new digital camera! I bet you’ll be seeing goofy ass shots of me on the net now. Not like I’ve done that enough on my own right? It should be here on Monday. Fun fun!

Thanks for checking out my TGIF post, please come next week, when you might show up! Suggestions for the TGIF posts are always welcome!

Surgery

On May 15, 2008, In Personal, by Yoshi

Well by the time you read this, I’ll be in Seattle’s Swedish hospital getting a same day surgery done. Don’t worry, it’s nothing life threatening or big, but it’s more a preventive measure that needs to be done eventually. You don’t wanna know what the surgery is about, trust me, you’ll thank me later for not telling you. I know a few people already know, but I’m sure they really wish they didn’t know about it.

You might think though that my posts will be lessened, but it’s quite the reverse I think, I’ll have plenty more time to post since I’ll be sitting/laying around for most of it. I might of course be drugged up and semi-conscious, but hey, I’ll blog something. So feel free to send me some good vibes and hope for a speedy recovery. The surgeon said I need to take about a week of recovery and bed rest, so I’m listening to the doctor on that one. Just hope he gives me some good pain meds. I know I’ll be needing it for sure.

The sushimobile

On May 14, 2008, In Miscellaneous, by Yoshi

The other day I made a post about old car memories and one of my friends called it the Sushimobile. That totally brought back some memories, and another friend also reminded me what we called ourselves: “The Sushi Crew“. I’ll probably explain why we called ourselves that in a different post. That just about made me LOL when I read that. Ah, good times were had in those days. I think we went everywhere there was to go in Jersey in the sushimobile. I remember getting lost in it, and being found, breaking down, pushing it, and everything that could ever happen in a car happened in the sushimobile.

One time while driving down Route 38, I remember the area losing power. We were on our way home from somewhere, and all the lights down 38 were out, including all the stores, the car dealerships, and everything. That was before the construction was done to make 38 a big ass four lane highway, so going through Mt. Holly was pretty scary with all the lights out.

We were all marveled, because it was just eerie without the traffic lights and I made a comment, “Wow, even with all this power out, it’s good to know that the radio station still plays and has backup power.” And just at that very moment, the radio went silent. WMMR, 93.3 went quiet. I think everyone at once were slackjawed and just looked at the radio. But soon, about 15 seconds later, the DJ came on and apologized for the dead air.

That was a freaky night in the Sushimobile. Have you ever had anything freaky like that happen to you?
