Wha–? I have a Blog???
Hello there…
Okay, yeah, I know. I’ve been neglecting this space for a couple of weeks now. Truth is, I’ve been busy. Busy doing my real gig and playing Star Craft 2. Lame, I know, but hey, Star Craft 1 was one of my all-time favorite games.
This week I’ll have some new and bizarre content. I swear.
Anno Domino’s Pizza
So I see from the commercials, Domino’s Pizza, the Pizza of last resort, wants to change the way people see their pizza in commercials. Domino’s wants its customers to send in photos of their pizzas so Domino’s can use the photos in future commercials.
Is it just me, or is this idea really, really, stupid? I’m glad this is what Domino’s decided to change about their pizza. I guess they figure everything else is just ducky with their pie, so it’s time to move on to the way it’s photographed. How lame.
And while we’re on the subject, does it creep out anyone else that this company apparently keeps tabs on people that have the audacity to say mean stuff about Domino’s pizza in focus groups? Who the hell are these cats anyway, Big Brother? And then, to top it all off, now that Domino’s has changed its pizza to make taste slightly less crappy, they harass these poor souls to try their dreck again. Oi vey!
Domino’s take my advice: leave people alone and worry less about the way your pie is photographed and more about how it tastes.
Those brownie bite things are still pretty bad-ass though…
The Decision
Charles Barkley, my all-time favorite basketball player, checked in on Lebron James’ s free-agency decision. He said what I was thinking, specifically that Lebron can go play for whomever he wants, but the manner he handled his decision was “stupid.”
I watched the first 20 minutes or so of his show before I turned it off in favor of Time Bandits. It was as awful as I suspected. To his credit, Lebron didn’t come off as a complete ego-maniac. That said, I think he should have notified Cleveland of his decision prior to the telecast. And, by-the-way, Mr. James, it’s complete bullshit that your move to Miami wasn’t planned. That’s what you wanted all along, so don’t go spewing this nonsense that you never thought it was possible. What do you think would happen when it came to the attention of NBA executives that you wanted to be on a team with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh? It’s the result you wanted and you got it. Good luck — we’ll see what happens with Miami next year. Hopefully depth won’t be an issue, or the lack of a traditional center…Though Shaq is available.

Hang Ups…
Writing a convincing love scene — that’s classy and hot — is really hard to do. At least with my maturity.
Huh-huh. He said hard….
You should've seen what else came up in Google image search when I searched for 'Porn Star'
Later Today
Not really feeling like writing anything today. The books I ordered from Amazon came in, so I’ll probably be spending time with them instead. Here’s what you have to look forward to this week:
1. Another Simple Solutions post about the Usual Suspects
2. A post explaining why I hate vampires
3. Random pop culture detritus
Greetings and Salutations…
The above title should be read in a quasi Jack Nicholson voice, al la Christian Slater in Heathers.
Obviously this site is a mess right now, but it will be cleaned up and made spiffy in time. I’m impressed with WordPress as a platform. There are a lot of features to wade through which is great. But that’s also a drawback. I really don’t want this to turn into Mr. X’s Webpage from the Simpsons, so we’ll be adding features and design elements slowly, but tastefully.
Pug Shot #1
Because this blog’s first post should not be ‘Hello, World’ and it should be cute. So here’s my dog, Stanley.
Ruminations, etc..
