look at how awesome i am
This was shot before Christmas ‘07, but a variety of delightful mishaps kept it from being posted to the Internets until a little while ago. You can’t tell by the finished product, but I was the only performer in this video whose character’s name was not their actual name. (I think I was filling in for someone.)
Miami has the Dolphins
The Greatest Football Team
We take the ball from goal to goal
Like no one’s ever seen
We’re in the air, we’re on the ground
We’re always in control
And when you say Miami
You’re talking Super Bowl
‘Cause we’re the…
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number One.
Yes we’re the…
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins,
Miami Dolphins Number One
I worked here the summer between high school and college, for $4.25 an hour. It was a terrible job, I hated it, and I never worked at any kind of restaurant ever again.
There aren’t many stories about this place, just disjointed little memories. I still don’t understand how those old people thought they were going to order from the drive thru without rolling their window down.
Most of my free time has been spent building howRDUdoin?, which is why I haven’t had so many lols for you here, I’m sorry.
This has been an incredible education for me, I feel like I’ve unlocked the secrets of the Internet, which will make me more popular and a hit at parties. (Do you need more traffic quickly? Start blogging the full names of murder victims and suspected murderers.)
But today we uncovered a bit of a surprise: if you mention Clay Aiken in a negative light, even in passing, even in a no big deal kind of way, CRAZY PEOPLE WILL SUDDENLY APPEAR. Like, bona fide fucking crazy people! Ben wrote a post today talking about some Raleigh folks on some TV show, and he compared that to the time Clay Aiken was on a TV show, and man! Shit got crazy, quick!
I was really curious about where these people came from, because this was clearly an Internet lesson for me. And usually when strange people show up on your blog, it’s because you were linked from another blog or message board or something, except that didn’t happen this time. So I cracked open the Google Analytics, and found a whole lot of people were coming to that page directly, with no referer. And more people were coming referred by a webmail client. So it seems that one of these fucking crazy people found this one post, probably because they have a Google Alert rigged to a siren or something, and then sent it to all his crazy friends, using email or IM or something. They probably eschew message boards, because people like me would go and laugh at them. So they’re left to live in the darkness, vigilant but hidden, like boring ninjas.
If they were invisible, they would defend Clay on every blog.
(They’re on their way, aren’t they?)
My fiancee reminded me that today is a day for a blog list. Here’s one:
Me and this Lexington Barbecue, we had a moment tonight.
I’m driving to North Carolina right now, which reminds me that I often get the question: how do you handle driving so much? The short answer is: I love driving. The longer answer is: I love driving with my iPhone.
These are the apps that keep me sane:
Mail and SMS, obvs.
Twitteriffic, because I’m obsessed with Twitter, which confounds roommate David Siegel
SportsTap, for the scores
Remember The Milk, so I can catch ideas that float through my head
WordPress, so I can be totes irresponsible
Google, which lets you speak your query now, which is awesome
Maps, for choosing my poison around DC
I also have Sirius radio.
