Hey! Wish the one and only Bitter Little Man a Happy Birthday. A quarter of a century of cynical bitterness deserves some recognition dammit.

(Ok, now I think that we're even for Gunther Toody's so would you stop apologizing.

Current Music Selection: Atmosphere - Free or Dead

A good track to escape a banal existance by driving around to. I'm also a big advocate of finding the talk radio station and craking it up "'till it bumps."

Phrase of the Moment: Capitalizing on the Momentum.

That's it, back to work.

Thus Begins the Latest Binge

...or is this a purge. I mean on one hand it could be considered binging on 'blogger, on the other, it could be purging the thoughts from my head on to the internet. Hmm.

Anyway, I noticed that a lot of people tend to list music that they're listening to while posting. Well, I have things to say when it comes to music, and I have a damn lot of it. For this reason, I will begin to post the stuff I'm listening to as well.

Without further ado:

Current Music Selection: Fear of Pop - Root to This

For those of you that missed Fear of Pop Volume 1, it's the Ben Folds project that came out in 1998 when all of us loyal fans were waiting for the amazing Messner to come out (the wait was very worth it by the way). I've always refered to this album as "Ben Folds Fucks Around." It really defies description. When you have a track that sounds like something out of a 70s Blaxploitation flick, a track that's a remix of BFF bassist Robert Sledge's name and a track with William Fucking Shatner doing spoken word all on the same album, there's really no place to file it.

Anyway, then there's Root to This. Ben Folds' stab at electronica complete with his wife yelling vocals. With lines like "When I say the word, all you wankers piss off!" it's no wonder he married her. It makes for a good dance track and I personally think it should be played in more clubs. That's really it though. Try and take a listen to this album though.

So, I was going to write more but work is really busy at the moment. I should get back to the grind.

So I foun this link over at Galvin's page today. I haven't gotten a chance to start playing the game yet but after watching the intro... Look, if you've ever wondered what Voltron (under the control of TB, of course) sodomizing the Statue of Liberty would look like, try this game.

On thing though, I do think that they ripped off Get Your Voltr On on their portrayal of Voltron, but it's funny so that's ok.

I Think This is the Happiest Day of My Life

Wow. You know, I've been asking for this for years. Literally. I was asking for this back when I had an N16 and Super Mario All-Stars came out. Apparently Capcom finally listened to my pleas and... it's here.

Megaman is still my favorite game series ever. Sure, there were some crap ones, but overall, it's better than your game series.

Wow... I think I'm crying.

So I ran the Bolder Boulder on Monday and I'm almost not sore anymore. I didn't get under an hour this year. I was right around 64-minutes. Not horrible. Not great. I really wish that I could get right around 50-minutes again. (My personal best was just under 50-minutes. This was accomplished on the weekend of my high school graduation with a guy that graduated with me. We were both hung over, but having each of us there to pull the other along gave us a really good time.) My goal for this year was under an hour, but it seems that will have to wait until next year.

So even though I didn't get the time I wanted this year, it was still better than last. Last year I was up aroung 68 minutes and I hadn't trained much at all. Don't do that! At least, not if you're out of shape. Last year was like fucking Viewtiful Joe! I'm never not training again after that.

So now my goal is to keep running through the summer. As motivation, I think that I'm going to start signing up for races on a regular basis. That way, if I train, less pain will be my reward. Wow, that's masochistic.
