Listen to all the music in my music collection

21/52 (40.4%) days @ 10/22/07
23/53 (43.4%) @ 11/19/07
31/57 (54.4%) @ 1/31/09
36.2/61.6 (58.8%) @ 9/22/09
40.2/67.5 (59.6%) @ 3/7/10
At this rate, it looks like I’ll never get there. But I assure you, I will. For the last 8 months or so, I have spent a large portion of my time listening to old episodes of Loveline and The Adam Carolla Show and The Adam Carolla Podcast. I am glad to say that I am finally caught up. In the last 8 months, I’ve listened to 32.4 days worth of talk radio. During the last week or so, I caught up on a lot by listening to them on double speed, but regardless, that is a lot of listening in 8 months. I’ve set up a new listening scheme that I will not be listening to any new old talk radio, but only ones that have come out in the last few days, so that I can be caught up. But mostly I have a system of listening to my unlistened to music. All of the albums I have not listened to will be listened to in their correct order, all of the soundtracks (movie and game and opera) will be too… So you are going to see a very large increase in listening. Which is cool. If you are following this kind of crap. In fact, here’s a graph of all of this crap:
Also, if you look how much music I’ve gotten, I’ve gotten a crapton in the last 6 months or so. Anyway. Yeah. Just some nerdy statistics crap.

I originally wrote “This means any video I am involved in with 1,000+ views.” I haven’t been promoting it very much, but Crumb Bandit and I made a music video a long time ago for our hit song Decapitation by Cement in our metal project Direct Metal Index. Checking on it now, we have 2,036 views! I was shocked to discover this. I feel like I should have shot a bit higher, but that is a lot of views either way, and I am totally cool with 2,000. WIN.

This last Christmas, I got my girlfriend Julia a make-your-own sushi kit. So come Valentine’s Day, we went out and got some ingredients and… MADE OUR OWN SUSHI. My lifelist requires that I make all the things on my list from scratch, so we did! The only thing that wasn’t from scratch was the tempura mix, but the california rolls were made entirely from scratch (I guess you could make an argument about the crab being imitation, but fuck you, if that’s the case). We even made our own “sushi rice” (seen here in the back).
The sushi started off not looking too great for the first 3 rolls or so. Eventually, it got a lot better with the last 3 rolls. Either way, it was fucking delicious.
Other things I need to make from scratch in order to complete this item on my list: Beef stroganoff, teriyaki chicken, chicken adobo, chicken parmesan, shrimp fettucini alfredo, and rigatoni with roasted white chicken…. And by “scratch”, I mean SCRATCH. For example, I can make teriyaki chicken by using a bottle of teriyaki sauce, but I’d like to make my own teriyaki sauce.

Finished this one on February 13th, 2010. I won’t give away our team name, but let’s just say we were near the end. This was a pretty difficult race, and I don’t know that we came as prepared as we could have. Still, I was glad to be able to cross this one off of my list. We came dressed as scientists. I was the straight uptight one, and Julia was the crazy wacky one. What a couple we made! Some of the activites we had to included getting five from a dog, making a play-doh sculpture, eat some ice cream, lasso a bull, and find some kid on a skateboard! Overall, we had a great time, and I think we’ll do it next year, but hopefully we’ll be better prepared.
Now More Fun gets all political and shit
Conspiracies, Pissed off rants, Propaganda

This kind of shit infuriates the fucking hell out of me. Bipartisan politics that are nothing more than always voting at your party’s core and never thinking of thinking for your fucking self. And spouting off the same goddamn bullshit excuses. Thank god for politifact.com, who fact-checks these ass holes.
To sum it up: Obama wanted his stimulus bill to go through, and it didn’t because of Republican’s voting against it, who condemned him, and instead, they came up with THE EXACT SAME IDEAS, and praised themselves for making them come through. I really wish they went through every fucking Republican in this one, and just called them all out. Both parties are guilty of this kind of shit, I’m sure, but this anti-Obama “Nazi” rhetoric has got to fucking stop so we can get shit done.
Sonic goes the way of Megaman and Mario: RETRO

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 just announced. WiiWare, Xbox Arcade, whatever Playstation has…. I’m pretty psyched, honestly. I’ve been saying for fucking years that the industry needs to get back to 2D platforming and stop wasting so much goddamn time on graphics and focus on gameplay. RPGs could really stand to do this too. There’s too much shit going on, but if it were a 2D overworld-view type game, they could make it nearly limitless and so incredibly epic if they wanted to.
On budgets and My Fitness Coach 1 vs. 2
Conspiracies, Life, Limb, Propaganda

First, the budget part: Here. Obama is getting a bad rap for shit he just plain didn’t do. That’s right. Fuck you Republicans who want to misdirect blame because of the public’s poor perception of how an economy works.
Now. My Fitness Coach 1 vs. 2:
The first one was good. Unfortunately, there is no way to turn down the music so I can listen to my own music. That is, if I turn down the music, it turns down the instructions as well, which is a bit annoying. On My Fitness Coach 2, you can turn down the music all the way. Unfortunately, it still provides you with a beat on how stuff must be done, and it not only does this, it makes you use the Wiimote in order to judge that you are in fact doing this on time. Why the fuck would you take away music but still keep you on the beat? The whole idea is to let you listen to your own workout music. Good workout music is the thing that has helped me most in motivating myself to exercise, personally.
In conclusion, fuck My Fitness Coach 2 and Republicans.

I’m rather disappointed with the iPad for a number of reasons, most of which are highlighted in these two links.
More than anything, I find myself asking the question “Who is the appealing to?” You can’t multi-task, so, it’s somewhat good for a student. I guess. But you can’t have a word program open as well as the internet.
That said, it has all the capabilities of being a decent mini-laptop. It’s got a sweet touchscreen and some good hardware. Unfortunately, it has no USB ports, making file management between computers a bit difficult. In order to really get good use out of this, I really feel like hacking it and jailbreaking it would be best. Hopefully some nice young hacker will crank out a version of Mac OS X for anyone wanting to use this. Because of this, I still really want one. I have faith in the hacking community that, if they can do this kind of stuff for the iPhone or for my Wii, I’m sure I’ll be able to do it just fine for my future iPad.
But I really don’t think they’ll last long. I don’t know a whole lot of people who really could find this useful. I love me some Apple, but they’re going in a really disappointing, frustrating direction. Fortunately, I think that when these don’t sell, it might kick them in the ass enough to go “Well. Fine. Have some Mac OS X”. But only time will tell. They’ve made some terrible decisions in the past, leaving them much more unpopular than the PC world, but let’s hope they decide to get their shit together again.
When I wake up I will be fine. Define waking up.

I love her eyes. And her love. But there are some things that just don’t come with a girlfriend. Like freedom.
I can look into her and see wonderful life. Unlike hundreds of others. But I can’t think about this and pretend she is the only girl I will ever stare at again. For this would be to lose faith in humanity. And I’m not that far gone yet.
Maybe I’m not used to the “dating” thing. Maybe she IS the only one I’ll find. I hate feeling tied down.
