Birds!

This is a picture I took at the dump. There are so many seagulls its nuts. So far I have only been grazed on the leg by poop, but I keep on my toes. I like to find things at the dump and throw them to see how many seagulls I can hit. Once I nailed one with a big board and it swooped at me. Theres a lot cool stuff at the dump. I would never touch any of it with my bare hands but its interesting to see what people throw out. I often imagine what kind of fortess I could make out of all the raw materials there. Also the seagulls fight for food which is funny too. Did you know there are different kinds of seagulls? Not just plain white ones.. smaller ones with black heads too... I even saw an all grey one today. Well that concludes todays edition of Adventures from the Dump. Tune in next time to hear me describe the varying smells of the dump and discuss possible uses for biohazerdous waste/ used needles.

Quote of the day: There is nothing more notable in Socrates than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent.
Michel de Montaigne (1533 - 1592)

mmmm yummy 

This picture is like me and Gary Larson is a genius.  

If you weren't my cousin...

A funny thing has happened to me again. There's this girl I work with who's pretty cute. The manager and my dad(whom I'm now working with) were taking off to pick up a truck and made some comments like "You should go talk to Erica, wink wink.." You know, old people humour. So anyway, apparently that got them talking about it and my dad asked what Ericas last name is and yada yada yada turns out shes my third cousin. So that's kind of weird. I don't even think she knows which could make it weirder. And this isn't the first time this has happened either. A couple years ago my friends wanted to set me up with this girl they went to school with... blah blah blah she's my fifth cousin. The title of this post is taken from a show Arrested Development, which is hilarious if you haven't seen it yet. One of the characters is obsessed with his cousin (who later turns out to not really be his cousin) and he writes some love notes that he never gives her and one of them is called If you weren't my cousin. So here's the question, how distant of relation is distant enough? I mean keep in mind, back in the day people used to only want their cousins. And theres tonnes of groups around the world who keep their friends close and their cousins closer. Quote the Simpsons, "Why would we want to marry our cousins? Because they're so darn attractive." At a cousins wedding I met this girl who's my cousin's cousin through marriage twice, and I think I'd be cool with that.. I think first cousins is illegal so does that mean anything beyond that is alright? A downside or upside of marrying your 2nd cousin is that you may already know some of your relatives. So drop a comment, tell me what you think. 2nd cousins: Too close for comfort or are you cool with keepin it in the family?

Well I was going to start a new feature today called Top five, but I forgot the ones I made up when I first had the idea so were just gonna go with People I like and Logan says.
People I like today are married people because boy, do they ever fall off fast and also John Stamos.
This week the part of Logan is played by Xenu - The Mind Taker. Xenu Says: "I dig dudes."
Next time... Marriage: a bottomless pit or more of a vortex portal?



postscript: Food for thought - I think the worst thing about having King Kong go rampid in your city would be the huge monster genitalia. Also I finally got my moustache song, so check it out.

Why? Because sometimes you just have to. 

Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe me?

Ok people, listen up. I know I've been promising some crazy new posts and they're on their way. The deal is that our computer is busted. Straight up. I haven't even been able to check other peoples blogs. It's rough but what can do? But I'm off to Waskesiu this weekend and I'm at my parents house so I figure I might as well lay somethin down here.
So some of the things that I promised to write about were Uses for Pudding and Music You Should Like. Today I thought that instead of filling little balloons with water, you could fill them with pudding. Pudding Balloons.... so dangerous and so perfectly delicious at the same time. Also pudding could replace water in other places too. Such as say... a .. pudding bed. You could sleep on it and have a lil midnight snack out of it while you're at it. Or even a little inflatable pool filled with pudding.
As for music, I was thinking of actually burning a cd and telling you what I put on it. Unfortunately my parents have farmer-net so downloading enough songs for a cd could take two and a half years. One of these days I'll do that, but for now here are a couple of artists and songs you should check out.
Feist - Inside and Out (Cool chick, shes Canadian)
Ray Lamontagne - Jolene (The hot girl that works at CasaDelSol's name is Jolene)
Royksopp - Only This Moment (I think this is his new stuff, he's Swedish? Remind Me Remix is another good song)
Kings of Convenience - Misread (Good PEEANOO, also Swedish I think)
Elvis - In the Ghetto (Cool tune about the ghetto that doesn't talk about bling or say 'nigga uuhh')
NERD - Grindin' (Cool tune that does talk about bling and say 'nigga uuhhh'. Ahah,
its one of those lines that gets stuck in your head, and it's been in mine for the last week even though the song is super old and I haven't heard it for a long time, it has an awesome beat too)
Death From Above 1979 - Romantic Rights (These guys are good pump-you-up/road music, also Canadian but they're more popular in Europe)
John Legend - Alright (He has better songs but I can't think of the names of them)
Coldplay - X&Y (It is what it is, nice guitar)
Oscar Lopez - Classical Soul (Even nicer guitar)
Kanye West - Diamonds from Sierra Leone (I think this song is about not getting your bling from war torn countries, its an awesome remix of Diamonds are Forever from James Bond)
The Beautiful Girls - Cash Money (They're not girls and the song is not really about CashMoney, well it's more anti-cashmoney, they're from Austrailia/NewZealand, they're kinda like JackJohnson mixed with The Chili Peppers)

Now for a couple features... mmm actually I only feel like doing one, it's my favourite too. Logan Says. Logan Says: "I once killed a man and ate his heart."





postscript: Remember when I did that MoustacheCollage? Well I made a song at the same time, but its been stuck on my parents computer. I just sat here for an hour trying to upload it and it still didn't go but I'll post it up when I get back. Also, leave comments about which songs you liked and other uses for pudding. Oh, and almost forgot about this! Actually I did forget about it and so I came back and edited this post... It's not that big of deal but check this out.. I had an awesome idea the other night when I was bored.. since we've been playing a lot of tennis lately I thought "Hey why don't we get some glow in the dark paint, put it all over the net, lines and ball and play tennis AT NIGHT!" Whoever would like to join is welcome but you have to join my club first. And its pretty exclusive. And I get to hit a tennis ball at you really hard for an initiation. In other news, I've been working outside for 10 hours a day and I'm getting so dark its amazing. By the end of the summer I may need to change my name to Jamal or something.
