I took a moment to read back through my past posts and stuff and it honestly seems like I have so many things going on in my head I cant finish a thought before writing about another one. If my mind is this confusing in text how confusing is it in there.

Have you ever been sitting there at your desk, table, on your couch er what have you and you giggled about a thought you just had? Have you ever been playing a video game see a funny situation and think to yourself “Oh that would be something for a comic?” Well I did, I gave up my squirrelly nonsense comic after I realized I wasn’t feeling creative enough for it. The recent events in World of Warcraft for those of you who know the story Arthas is releasing another plague upon Azeroth and its giving people a chance to become zombies, good times.

The only problem is if someone is trying to get to a certain NPC(non-playable character) they sometimes get cleansed by what is known as an “Argent Healer” these buggers are basicly super priests sent from heaven (or Hell depending on if you want to help the plague spread) whocleanse you of this disease.

also theres a new achievment system up and if anyone remembers the LEEERROOOYYYY video of about 2 years ago (the joke makes me zzzZZ now) there is an achievment for one to kill 50 of these little dragon whelps, that Leeroy so recklessly brought unto his party members, in like 15 seconds or so and this gives your character the choice of “Jenkins” as his/her last name. I have two problems with this:

1. Leeroy is old, the joke wouldnt even keep a 3 year old with a laughing gas mask laughing

2. The server that I play on is indeed an RP(role playing server) and the people of this server (almost everyone) wear this title likes its something special. its over used and what not so even though I have the title, I choose not to display it above my character.

anyways with that being said heres my little comic. though I fear now that I have explained it, you wont find it funny nor will half of anyone who reads this page get it.

really wish HTML would work on this sight…

Well for those of you readers that are WoW fanatics, welcome to the start of another QQ fest!

Today they released 3.0.2 and I specc’d my Warrior and Mage played 2 games of AV and BAM the bugs started happening. Right now the Blizzard mainframe appears to be dead promising start to the new expansion(not yet released but some are considering the patch part of it….which it is)

Anyways Warriors are fun Druids are still OP i’m looking at my mage like “Wait theres more than one viable dps spec now? NO WAY!” surprisingly even the people i know who theory craft dont even know what to do and I cant get answers because the servers are down as well as the Blizzard website.

More on this tomorrow

Though I honestly think the traffic on this site has dropped since what, last summer? I still like to add stuff.

Well Joel is having fun being involved in the Obama campaign in these here parts. I myself am attending school once again with very little idea of  what I will be doing this time next year. Hopefully working at the Power Plant earning a nice paycheck and saving up for myventure into the investing world, Which by the way I hear it is fun but risky.I will indeed be going to costa rica in february for 7 days to go body boarding and surfing with the local chicas. I have also recieved permission on the photo’s im using for my web comic “A bit Nutty” which will probably be hosted from here.

The comic’s are honestly ideas that randomly pop in my head and often most things I want to write about are a bit difficult to do in 3 panels, yes the comic is only 3 panels and its the same panels every week it was inspired by “3 panel soul”(http://www.threepanelsoul.com) and “Dinosaur comic” (http://www.qwantz.com/peoplearecool.html) two excellently hilarious andwitty comics. 3PS is by far one of my favorite webcomics, next to the Ultra Rare and almost non exhistant “RP reasons” done by a fellow Shadow Council artist, not sure where she posts her stuff but its a compendium of shadow council’s and Black Omen’s (http://www.blackomen.us/) inside jokes.

A bit nutty is pretty much 4 squirrels Durrell, Tony, Ricky, and Pete. Durrell and Tony are the main part being in two of the 3 panels and Ricky and Pete are kind of like the old guys in the balcony on the muppets. Its honestly hit and miss I often think of something that will make me laugh then i plug it in to the comic and I end up saying “this didnt turn out as well as I thought it would” but anyways here are the first two strips that ive made.

more to come!

well I am only about 4 minutes into testing google chrome, but so far so good. Some neat things about it, that I have found, are for each process a regular browser uses like java and html Google chrome has it on different “Strings” so one process cant interrupt another. Say for example youre loading BrownPocket.com and youre browser is having difficulty loading the links on the right side of the page. Not a problem says Google Chrome we have you covered. The rest of the page will load by its self while the buttons will continue to try and load.

This “Multi-string” process will also allow for pages to load quicker because each process has its own job to do and its done at the same time instead of waiting on the previous process to finish. What does this mean for people who are bored at work? It means that you can surf through youtube AND correlate faster than ever before!

In reality though it doesnt seem that much different than Mozilla(im writing this in Mozilla and surfing with Chrome on my other screen ) though the animations with opening different tabs are more entertaining i havent used it long enough to really explore every fascit.

In summary, Google Chrome is for anyone easy to use but nothing new, id only fully switch over if someone from Mozilla were to offend me personally.

old news I know, but Bloodhound gang is really artistically brilliant. Most of their music videos are pure satire and it jsut makes me happy. Their music is incredibly catchy and their ability to hire very attractive women for these video’s is PRIMO.

anyways this is a pretty short post because I just wanted to share this video

this video is making fun of those “romantic” boy band songs

Let’s consider the similarities.

Lucas has many good stories in his head that I would like to listen to and talk about. So does M. Night.

Lucas became very impressed with his own brilliance and somehow thought that because he wrote one good script, that he could write many good scripts. M. Night could use someone else writing his ideas down.

Lucas can create drama, but he can’t create realistic relationships. M. Night’s stilted relationships hurt his films. When the relationship is parent-child, he seems fine, but love. Gracious! The Village and The Happening being our best examples.

Lucas had a cult following. M. Night has his cult of people too.

Lucas was better off when his movies were cheaper and not all CGI crap. M. Night could use someone telling him that he doesn’t HAVE to spend $80 million to make a good movie, especially one that should be focused on the people, not the external action.

Lucas is not a great director. M. Night… well, he has a good eye, but he doesn’t get the best performances out of his actors, maybe because he gives them bad direction.

Lucas’ movies that are directed by others are better than those he directed. A New Hope is a classic, but from Empire Strike Back to the original Indiana Jones movies he had other people making great works. Then he directed the second Star Wars trilogy. I rest my case.

Would M. Night benefit from somebody else working with him, like a Rian Johnson or Spike Jonze who would have a different view on things? Yes, I believe he would.

M. Night Shyamalan still can make great films, but he’s got to let other smart people help him. Forget the studios, but he’s got the ideas. He needs the direction.

In the wake of the loss of Tim Russert, I would like to be considered a potential replacement. I am not quite as jolly as him, but I am also not nearly as imbecilic as his cohorts. (a terrorist fist jab?)

I may be a bit young, but the quest has now begun in earnest for a job in DC. Journalism? Capitol Hill? Both are appealing, but it seems fully plausible that I will end up with neither, doing PR, another job type that interests me.

Looking for a job is, for my point of view, pure Hell. You spend months writing, calling and altogether pimping yourself out, most of the time without even a recognition of your existence from an employer.

“One day they’re going to regret this,” you say. But maybe they’re just beating you down. Beating and beating and beating till you give up on your quest to show them. You decide “well, this is good enough.” Eventually all your jobs are just “good enough.” Eventually, you have no such thing as ambition. This process moves quickly for some people. Some people never learn. Those people run the world.

But that meantime, fighting for motivation, trying not to get discouraged and somehow convince yourself that editing this cover letter is worth it, that the marginal benefit of the effort exists. I don’t just want a job. I want a job I like. The battle has begun between me and the world of people hiring. I’m no quitter.

I have always ALWAYS been a fan of free thought, its what the education system used to be based off of. Dreams are awesome in the thought that they are our minds images while thinking freely. Granted since our thoughts are so opressed by Standards of learning we dont get to express our thoughts as much as we should. Sometimes thoughts are expressed too freely and then looked upon as crazy and strange. OF COURSE THEY’RE STRANGE! each one of us is screwy in the head.

When has someone not had a dream about something ridiculously funny and then turned around and said “Hey, I had the weirdest dream last night.” only to receive a look of criticism in return. Free thought these days is thought to be Immature and well, crazy. Ellen DeGeneres once said “We dont play with our inner child anymore!” she couldnt be further than the truth. Some of you may be sitting there staring atyour monitor possibly glancing at a piece of paper on your desk thinking “what if I just balled it up and threw it? would someone throw it back? will I start the first intercubiclegame of catch?” . To that I say go for it! Who cares as long as you don’t hit one of your 4 bosses you’re golden, and if the person who gets hit by the ball looks at you and says “did you throw this” you say HELL YEAH I DID now go long! Chances are they will accept your invitation to Recreational office shenanigans and toss it back.

more on this when I remember what my original point was

This is a question oft asked of me when I have the opportunity to present my research in Gnarples. The problem is that I truly have no precise answer. That is not to say that there is not answer, indeed, the truth is quite the opposite. There are many answers, none more correct than the next.

To clarify, Gnarpology is what I do. I study the gnarple. Gnarplism is more esoteric. It tries to apply the role of gnarples to the context of every day lives. I am wary of calling it a form of religion, or even a belief structure. I can outline how it works, but sociologist and colleague Dr. Whitney Richardson is the expert.

The most common form of Gnarplism is the recognition that the gnarple has a profound
role in the operation of the human body and a developed appreciation for this role. The way this appreciation is communicated varies wildly. For some, it is included in their daily prayers. Gnarplism is not inconsistent with the beliefs of Christianity. For others, the appreciation isn’t so tangible. One does not “appreciate” the lungs, but at the same time, each person is thankful for their existence. There is an extreme form of Gnarplism, essentially fundamentalism Gnarplism. These fundamentalisms espouse the idea that the gnarples are to be cherished and “shown” the appreciation. That means committing awkward contortions that test the gnarples, then massages that then show the gnarple that person is willing to bear some of the load.

This is a dangerous idea, for it could actually lead to the swelling of the gnarples. While the gnarples naturally change shape and grow from time to time, and size is not entirely indicative of the level of pain inflicted, I have found a correlation. Professional athletes often have massive gnarples for the first years of their career. Then drugs are used to temper some of the pain. This is helpful to some extent because the gnarples are not taxed so greatly.

Problems arise when the drugs are used for extended periods of time Drugs that reduce swelling like Ibuefrofin are fine. Morphine is not. The gnarples lose their ability to properly respond to pain. If the morphine is stopped abruptly, the gnarple can swell up to the size of a tire. The size isn’t visible because of the spongy nature of the gnarple and its ability to exist outside the skin. Cortisone shots are also dangerous because they result in a near complete numbings. Gnarples have been known to die in patients where cortisone was used too often.

A separate form of Gnarplism is the belief that gnarples positively affect decision-making. This is wholly unproven, but certain foods have been shown to improve gnarple efficiency, such as pickles and zuchinni bread. I suspect this has something to do with the chemical changes resulting from the preparation processes. The belief that gnarples improve brain function likely comes from the ability to focus better since the pain is reduced.

A third form of Gnarplism is the belief that gnarples are the existence of God within the body. In this case, some believe that high level of pain are a test by God of ones true faith.

This is obviously just a cursory glance at what Gnarplism is. It has nothing to do with the reality of Gnarpology, but some beliefs are strongly founded in reality. I hope that more information on this subject can be conveyed in the future.
