my girlfriend on the radio

My girlfriend and the bad she's in, Ladysoal, are on the Ames radio station 105.1 right now. You can stream it live here: http://www.newrock1051.com/main.html.  They'll be on tonight from 8-10 (central) so give 'em a listen.  They'll probably be interviewed and stuff between songs, with a live performance at some point.  Two other bands too.  If you can't or didn't listen to them on the radio, be sure to check them out on FACEBOOK.  Also, here they are:

"There's another band right now, so James is going to get beer."
Should be fun.

ENJOY

my heart is full of bears and birds: video game post

What're some fun games that you guys have been playing on xbox?  I've been getting into Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie lately, and played through the Dead Space 2 demo.  I guess I played Final Fantasy XIII for a few minutes the other day.  I'm not as big of a gamer as I used to be.  Games a re just too expensive, now that I don't have any money.  I like being able to pay $15 to download and relive an old classic like Banjo Kazooie.  Frankly, I think that game is way better than most new games anyway.

Let me know what you think.

BTW Dead Space 2 is scary as shit.

nice!

sweet!

SHIT

sites of the day

Today I have a whopping TEN SITES to share with you.  But each "site" is pretty small, so you can easily check them all out.

1. EVOLUTION TREE
This cool and colorful picture is probably the best evolution tree I've ever seen.

2. LINES EVERYWHERE
Like, everywhere. A little flash program where lines follow your mouse around. Fun to dick around with.

3. BALL "DROPPINGS"
This one reminds me of that mini-game in Super Mario 64 DS where you had to draw trampolines for the marios to jump around on. Pretty damn fun.

4. JENGA!
Flash jenga with "real" physics! Mess around with this, then check out the other flash "games" this guy has on his site. Because they're fucking awesome.

5. GREEK GODS FAMILY TREE
Exactly what it sounds like. Hope you like Greek Gods!

6. DINOSAURS COMPARED TO HUMANS!
This is just awesome.

7. 360 VIEW OF THE SISTINE CHAPEL
Although this sounds boring, it's pretty cool.

8. OH MY GOD-OCTOPUS
Lovecraft anyone? These things have, like, a hundred fucking tentacles.

9. OH MY GOD-CRAB
HUGE CRAB.

10. NEW SPECIES
Check 'em out. The first one looks really weird (it's a bat, but I thought it was some sort of tiny primate because I'm dumb). ((Actually bats are closely related to primates.))

So there ya go. Be sure to tell me which one's yer favorite.

sloths?

So baby sloths, right?  They're like if a velociraptor and a seal had a baby.

=

Or if a goron had a baby with another goron.

=

Or also like if two adult sloths totally did it and had a baby.

I got lazy here, so there's no picture.  But believe me, dude, there are plenty of pictures of two sloths bangin' out there.

Awwwwwww!

DAAAAAWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I just shared that because I've never seen a baby sloth before.

YES

(the baby sloth pics are from cuteoverload.com)

another stupid blog

So another one of my retarded friends just made a blog.  BUT unlike my other friends/roommates' blogs, this one is actually funny. So far. Hopefully he doesn't fuck it up, because I like laughing.  I've done you all a service and screen-capped some of his first post, so you can get a preview without actually going there and getting all the inevitable viruses.

snake? SNAKE?? SNAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!

I'm adding a little flash-based Snake game to the bottom of my page (right above all those ads you should click on). You remember Snake? Of course you do, don't lie.  Every week (probably around the weekend) I'll see who has the highest score, and that person will win a prize! Yay prize omg!!!  I will post whatever they want me to on my blog in honor of them and their great service to us all. So get to playing!


edit: Post your totally legit high scores on the SNAKE SCORES page! Apparently the game itself keeps track of the scores for the entire internet.

omg i used to be so deep

So as you all know (or rather, don't), I'm using my parents' old computer since my laptop crapped out some weeks ago.  Boy, do I have a treat for you guys.  On this old computer I found a poem that I wrote in early high school (or possibly late middle school).  Now I've always considered myself to be a genius of a poet, and now I can finally prove it.  PREPARE TO HAVE YOUR SHIT BLOWN.

p.p.p.p.s. Just saw that a guy (or girl) in France has seen my blog!  That guy (or girl) along with the guy (or girl) in Canada has (or have?) made my blog an international hit! Thanks Canada and France guys (or girls)(or guy and girl)!

sites of the day

And now for today's websites, or "sites" as I call them, of the day.  For, you know, when you're bored and you just need some sites.  Won't you please enjoy my sites?

1. PAINT SOUND SCULPTURES

Holy shit, these are cool. A lotta sweet pics here of "sculptures" that were made by adding sound to paint.  There's even a video that shows and explains how they did it.  These pictures are amazing and these guys are cool for doing this.  And the colors are just....awesome.  I totally awe'd.

2. WIKIPEDIA - LIST OF COLORS
On a semi-related note: all the colors ever. Even the fictional ones.  This article takes you from Air Force Blue to Zinnwaldite Brown, all arranged alphabetically or by.....color.  This isn't really a website that you can get hours of fun out of, but if you ever need to know anything about a specific color, here ya go.  At some point I think the people who name colors just decided to fuck with us. Unmellow Yellow?  Piggy Pink?  Sacramento State Green?  And Radical Red sounds way more like a kool-aid flavor than a legit and totally real color.

3. GREG RUTTER'S DEFINITIVE LIST OF THE 99 THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ON THE INTERNET UNLESS YOU'RE A LOSER OR OLD OR SOMETHING
This, as you probably should've guessed, is a list of 99 things that are on the internet that everyone has seen.  Except I'm guessing you haven't seen all of them, so stop embarrassing yourself and check it out.

4. BANKSY - THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND

You may have heard of Banksy?  You've stumbled upon the movie about him streaming on Netflix, perhaps? Well apparently he's well known in Britain.  Now I usually don't like just looking at pictures of grafitti, but this guy is pretty good, and this website shows off a lot of his work.  Yeah, I didn't see that movie either.

5. WIKIPEDIA - LIST OF COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS
NOTE: THIS IS THE SECOND WIKIPEDIA ENTRY OF THE DAY.  Carry on...
I heard somebody make a joke about Wikipedia's "list of misconceptions" page the other day, but I didn't think it was a real page. NOW I KNOW. Some examples include...

• Swallowed chewing gum does not take seven years to digest. In fact, chewing gum is mostly indigestible, but passes through the digestive system at the same rate as other matter.
• Bats are not blind. While most bat species do use echolocation to augment their vision, all bat species have eyes and are capable of sight. Oh you stupid bats, you.
• A popular myth regarding human sexuality is that men think about sex every seven seconds. In reality, there is no scientific way of measuring such a thing and, as far as researchers can tell, this statistic greatly exaggerates the frequency of sexual thoughts.
• etc...

Needless to say you'll learn a lot if you visit this page, but it's the kind of learning of useless facts that happen to be interesting.  Hey, memorize some of these and you'll be cool at parties! or they'll hate you at parties, or whatever.  I don't really care.

Anyway, have a good time with these sites. But not too good a time.

me, but on deviantart

Hey, check this out.  I do art sometimes and then I put it on the internet. This internet:
http://solidfoot.deviantart.com/

Here are some examples

I know my friend Aaron would call me a whore for posting this on here because all I want is attention or something, but whatever. Fuck that guy, he has his own blog to call people whores.

p.s. I just got done watching about an hour of Jersey Shore, courtesy of my girlfriend's roommates. That show sucks. Those people suck. MTV sucks, New Jersey sucks, and humanity in general sucks.  Don't forget to look at my art; I'm "talented."

sites of the day

So if you're anyone like me, you'll like these websites, and you'll be all, "Thanks Kyle, I appreciate you sharing these with me. You're the best and I love you."  Whoa, calm down.  Calm down and enjoy these awesome websites that I have nothing to do with, but have no problem whoring out to you guys.

1. SHINYBINARY

This website features loads of sweet-ass pictures created by graphic artists.  And hey, you can even buy prints of them.  Seriously, check out this website if you like staring at pretty things.  Hey, you don't have to feel weird about staring at things on the internet; the things you're staring at don't have feelings and can't call you a perv.

2. 1x.com

This is also a website for people who like to stare at pretty things.  However, it features photographs. Good photographs. GREAT photographs, even.  They're all pretty high res, and the subjects vary.  Personally, the nature photos are my favorite.  Yeah, I'm gay for nature. Gayture? Does that work? ..............nevermind.  Hey, coming up with a good pun is like pimpin', it ain't easy.

3. FUTURISTIC PHONE CONCEPT

Now this is one sweet-ass phone!  This phone concept was thought up by a couple of Asian dudes for the purpose of having battery life on our mind.  But that doesn't really matter because look at this fucking phone.

4. TOM SHANNON'S ANTI-GRAVITY SCULPTURE

Okay, this is a 12 minute long video about this guy's physics-based art.  Whether or not that sounds interesting to you, watch the video.  Most of the 12 minutes blew my mind.  This guy, as an artist and a physicist, makes me look like some stupid ass (which, now that I think about it, is not a difficult thing to do at all).

ANYWAY, enjoy these websites.  Or whatever. God.

also here's a thing

So my roommate also just started a blog.  It's no coincidence; we're both pretty bored.  He rants about stupid shit a lot, and sometimes it's hilarious.  Also sometimes he finds cool things on the internet to share, like a really cool picture of feces, or an article about a mouse or something.  I imagine that's what his blog'll be like, anyway; I don't think he has any posts yet.  But yeah, subscribe to his blog and you won't be sorry? Maybe.  Maybe you will be sorry.

This is him "painting,"

and here he is as a dog:

His name is Aaron, not Darrel.

the internet doesn't need this blog

Hi, etc.

So this is the seminal post in my first blog, and as such, it will suck.  "What's the point of the blog?" you may ask.  Shut uuuuuuuuuuuuup!  I don't know!  Would "no point at all" be an acceptable answer?  Whatever, I just have some free time and there's so much space on the internet for people to just do whatever they want EVEN IF NO ONE EVER READS IT, which I think is pretty cool.  Anyway, fart boobs wiener poop.

FART

Ahhhh, feels good to put the internet to good use.
