I HATE LOST

I watched the season finale of Lost and I don't know why I got emotionally involved with all the characters.

I could go on and on for a few paragraphs about how angry I am, but that would be a waste of further time.

What I really wanted was for Jack to appear as a FRIENDLY SMOKE MONSTER.

How to remove a crank arm square spindle

This is a little article on how to remove a stuck crank arm.

I agree with this if you have a square spindle, but the best thing to do is really give it an oil bath for a few hours with the bike on its side.

bloggin

I haven't blogged in a long time.

I must admit that I find it a refreshing exercise to sort out my thoughts on paper/screen.

It's a good thing to write, I suppose.

I don't really write much these days. I think I need to write more. Must make it a part of my daily life to type things out.

My thoughts are preoccupied with that one girl. Why do I love that one girl so much?

I guess some people would call it oneitis. An obsession with the "perfect girl".

Even superstar playboys get oneitis.

I suppose it's biology. My brain is wired to be monogamous 90% of the time. The other 10% is filled with multiple girlfriends.

Speaking of which, I met some great girls lately; I should really give them a chance.

If I have a bunch of girls around me, I'll have all sorts of options. They think I'm either too intense or a bit of a player. I think maybe if I was just committed to the scoundrel role a bit more, things might be better.

I haven't worked out much. I feel better when I exercise.

I stopped taking St. Johns Wort.

I drank too much this weekend. We went out all over.

There were some exciting girls out. None of them really attracted me.

Why do I keep playing these dumb little flash games? Or poker?

GOALS:

Film new videoblog.
Finish new song.
Workout.
Get shit done.

Sexy Jutsu

I can't wait for Naruto 482 to come out! I am so obsessed with Naruto. (Why am I such a nerd?)

I think I'm going to resubscribe to Shonen Jump.

Although, as soon as there's a Naruto Shippuuden English Dub 27/28,
I'll be happy also.






It's strange to follow the story in the manga vs. the anime. There's a lot more plot to be covered in the anime. There are a lot of characters that just get thrown away with no explanation.

I suppose the main essence of Naruto is the teaching aspect - the relationships between Naruto and Jiraya, and Naruto and Kakashi are the best.

Second to the teaching element, the drama with Sasuke and Naruto is a pretty addictive one.

There's a Deviantart fan-pic of Naruto stabbing Sasuke and Sasuke stabbing Naruto with a smile. It sort of sums up where the series is headed.

I feel like there needs to be more romance in Naruto, but I don't know if the author can really handle that type of storytelling. Naruto isn't so nuanced with characters, like in Inuyasha, where Kagome has conflict with Kikyo over Inuyasha's affection.

And there are so many people who want Naruto to make out with Hinata, or Naruto to make out with Sakura, or Sasuke to make out with Sakura, or even a gay Naruto to make out with Sasuke. So, jangle your keys at that one, fans.

Speaking of which, I want to buy a Naruto keychain soon.
The superbowl this year was a disappointment.

I was glad the colts lost, don't get me wrong, but I was ultimately not impressed with the saints.

The games before the playoffs were more exciting, especially the Brett Favre Vikings/Saints game.

And not to mention the Jets/Colts game.
