Adult Swim is God.

If you haven't seen Adult Swim, Cartoon Networks not-so-new underground late-night shows, you must. Here's the rundown:
Adult swim features many great shows that were taken off the-air, such as Futurama, and Family Guy. They also have a heep of original's to offer. My favorite, The Brak Show, is a spin-off of Space Ghost Coast2Coast, and it is hilarious. If you value total randomness at all, you will love it. Next, Aqua Teen Hunger Force. They aren't really teens, and the show has nothing to do with water, but the rest is true. It stars Frilock, Meatwad, and Master Shake, it is the ultimate in underground hip-hop humor. Lastly, and this one may not be on anymore, is Harvey Birdman: Attourney at Law. It features that weird super-hero dude with the falcon as a lawyer who defends cartoon characters. Best Episode: Johnny Quest's Custody Hearing(Will he stay with doctor quest or Race Banyon; and what will become of Hajji?)
Well that's my rant for the day, check 'em out at AdultSwim.com

Hurricane Izzy

Hurricane Isabel, or Izzy, as I like to call it, ripped through Washington DC last night. In the aftermath, trees were downed along with electrical lines, and floods occurred in many areas.
The trauma continues, and the story continues to unfold, and luckily I now have power...

Okay, so I was without power for a day. "Big Deal" you say, but it really made me think about my own, and this nation's reliance on electricity. Many of you on the Upper East Coast probably realized this in August when NY was shut down for a while, but shut up, I live in DC.
Life without my computer, TV, Cable, Internet, PlayStation 2...It was a drag. All I could do was read and sleep and homework...By candle light!?! Yeah right!?! So I ventured to a more intriguing venue, the mall. The fact that the mall has power and I don't just shows you how in the grand puppet show of life, Corporate America holds all the strings...

Let me just tell you

Okay so basically here's the run down. Four people, all dressed alike, run their asses of. The first guy find the prey, the second two hunt it down like animals and the fourth eats. Confused? It gets worse. If the second two don't get the prey then the fourth gets to eat one third of the the other three. As if that's not bad enough. The first guy, since he is missing a third of his body cant run his ass off' obviously, so the other two have to carry him around, but since the other two also have a third missing from them they couldn't run either, except the fourth man must choose his area to eat carefully, he should only take the right half from one and the left half from the other.

If however the first three fail for a second time, they cannot be eaten again because that would be death. So they have to revert to going to white castle.

This is were the original meaning of the word blogging comes from.
