• Thursday Mega Post

  I wasn't around today.  I needed a mental health day.  I drove out to my uncle's farm and walked out into a forest and just meditated.  I just needed to clear my mind.  It seems that I've had a lot of stuff go down in the past month and I didn't want it all boiling up to something massive.  After my mind was cleared I ate at Hardee's.  Gosh I love Hardee's.  It was like the first fastfood restaurant I went to.  For years it was the ONLY fastfood in these parts.  Every large town had one and by large town laugh when I consider that to be 2500 and over.  Realize that I live in a town with a population of 1400.  Then McDonald's came in and Hardee's couldn't compete so they just closed up.  Now I can only think of 3 Hardee's from the Mississippi River to Madison.  Anyway I loved my Frisco burger and curly fries.  I was sad to hear that this particular one didn't carry the famous Hardee's roast beef or hot ham and cheese.  Then I went and bought myself a video game.  I got home and played a hunting game on the PS3.  It drives my cats insane because the sounds of wildlife sound like they're right in your house.  There was a sound of a bird flying overhead and my cat Lua is running around the living room looking for it.  Shooting imaginary deer with imaginary guns is quite fun.  Then tonight, well tonight was relaxing.  But within the last couple of hours Xanga has turned childish once again and the Xanga Team once again allows this behavior and the people responsible for it brag that Xanga Team tells them to do it.  Childish...utterly childish, and if any freedom loving American agrees with that censorship, get the hell out of my country.  Time for links and tattoos.  Sorry to bother you with that.  I hope you don't rate my site EX.

  1.  Well it's that time of year again.  It's time when NFL teams gather to rate college players' potential for the NFL draft.  One thing that has been used to determine how intelligent a player is is something called the Wonderlic test.  It's a 50 question test and it must be completed in 12 minutes.  Here is a sample test.  Don't worry, the answers are at the bottom. 

  2.  I think one of the positions that the Wonderlic really applies to is the quarterback.  The quarterback has to make so many split second decisions.  Anyway, here's a list of some results from quarterbacks of the past few years.  Granted it's not the best way to tell if a quarterback will be any good because some of the low scores are by hall of fame quarterbacks and some of the quarterbacks at the top of the list I haven't heard much from.

  3.  This weekend is The Academy Awards show AKA The Oscars.  Here's a list of some actors that are overdue for an Oscar.  I have to agree on all counts and I am still shocked that Sutherland hasn't won.

  4.  I was alerted to this site in my ESPN Magazine.  It's called Middle School Elite.  It is a ranking site that ranks the best basketball players in middle school across the nation.  A guy started it because he thought his son was the next basketball Messiah.  I really am getting sick of this planet.

  5.  Iggy Pop...the guy rocks but lately I've been thinking that Iggy needs to wear a shirt.  Don't believe me?  Well check out this 40 year timeline of shirtless Iggy Pop.

  6.  Every since I first saw the beer Duff on The Simpsons, I've always wondered what it tastes like.  Well now I can find out with this German beer.  I don't think they'd ship it to me here...sigh.

  7.  I know I just talked about fastfood and I got thinking about the ridiculous promotions that some places feature.  Here's a collection of some of those promotions.

  8.  Have you ever seen a movie and there was a guy in it that made you say, "Oh that's the guy from..." Here's a collection of That Guys.  I read through that list and each number I was like...OH YEAH

  9.  Here's a fun Tumblr I discover and I've thought I should do something similar on Xanga.  It's called Stockphoto Haiku.  People send this guy stockphotos and he writes a haiku inspired from the photo.  Such a great idea.

  10.  I have become addicted to a show on the Science Network called Idiot Abroad: The Bucket List Edition.  I've become fascinated with the idea of a bucket list.  this site features many ideas for a bucket list.

  11.  Have you ever had writer's block?  This site sort of helped me get over that.  It's called 750 Words and it's basically a writing site.  It's completely private but will help you get the brain jumpstarted for some writing.

  12.  People often think that the trolling on Xanga is bad.  You should see what goes on over at Youtube.  Sometimes the comments over at youtube can be quite funny.  Here's a collection of funny youtube comments.

  Now for tattoos:
  
  That tattoo stinks.  Is it weird that I always wished Pepe did this in his cartoons?
  
  "So we're going to keep your application on file.  Thanks for applying to work with the public.  We'll call if anything opens up."
  
  Amurrika!
  
  Bring back mixtapes first!
  
  Rod and Todd Flanders...I bet they help him remember to pray.
  
  I bet they drink Miller High Life because it's classy and the champagne of beers.
  
  I doubt the wild things are in his bed.
  
  OK, this one looks good and that lace is impressive.  It's a tattoo gun, in case you didn't know.
  
  OK so maybe her name is Babby or Babbigail and she got that tattoo to help people remember her name and the fact that she's a girl.
  
  Sweet Lord I hate the Yankees and now...I hate them even more.
  
  Oh how sweet...but what happens when you break up?  Then it isn't infinite.
  
  And congratulations, sir, you are this week's winner.  Your prize is this bundle of sticks.

  I hope everyone has a good night and doesn't get your site rated EX simply because someone doesn't agree with you or likes what you have to say.  And my cat is playing with a tennis ball.  When did I get tennis balls?
