You can't go to any big news site without reading something about the big 3 automakers seeking a 25 billion dollar bailout from Congress. All 3 of them are in danger of running out of money which means 750,000 Americans would be out of a job. I'm not sure if that includes the jobs that depend on the automakers for business but that number has the potential to be a lot higher.
Even so, Congress should not bailout the US automakers for their stupid ass business decisions. You don't see the Japanese automakers begging for money. Yeah, they're not making the profits they would like to be, but they're...

We have just hit our 2 month mark since arriving in North Carolina. For the most part it has been an easy transition for us. We live in a nice apartment, surrounded by beautiful trees, and Alev is loving the cold weather (not me). All in All, we are loving living on the east coast.
There is one thing that worries me. The people of the Carolinas are some of the nicest people you will ever meet...until they get into their cars. As soon as they get into the car and turn the ignition, they turn into blood thirsty animals. They will run you off the road and not even blink, if it means getting to their...

Pictures of Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter are making its way around the web. Depp is starring as the Mad Hatter in Tim Burton's adaption of Alice in Wonderland. If it was 2002 I would be excited about this. But after seeing Tim Burton destroy Willy Wonka I can't help but think Alice in Wonderland is doomed. Also, I use to enjoy the look of Tim Burton's films but now there just old and tired. Anyway, I bet Depp is going to be great in the part.

Since getting the Harley I've pretty much given up on the idea of chopping a Honda CM400. I could give you a million excuses about why but I will save you that.
Even though I'm not doing my own, I still appreciate it when I come across someones else's CM400 build. These builds are not something you will find a lot of on the web. Sure, you will find people saying they have done one and may even post a blurry picture of something that may be a Honda. But there is next to no information out there about customizing these bikes.
Knowing the frustrations with trying to find information and inspirations...

To help bring it some extra income, our pumpkin, Ken is offering gum jobs for $1.99...exact change only!
Seriously, I think it's time to toss the thing. It's just so hard to say goodbye.
"It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday."
It's like Boyz II Men are speaking directly to me and Pump Ken.

I make it a point not to post reviews on here. I don't share the same opinions that many people have so I'm left explaining why I thought something sucked. It got to the point of people always saying"Rob, What did you think...oh I bet you thought it sucked". I'm so sorry I think Resident Evil and the Britney Spears' Crossroads were a complete waste of time. Now if I'm asked I just shrug and make a half smile. It got old defending why I don't love the shitty movies in the world. But the time has come for me to break my silence. There is a movie so bad that I don't think anyone should ever see and it's...

Back in August I participated in a BBQ Cookoff for my company's diversity day for men (What's more diverse than playing to male stereotypes? We had BBQ and Beer, the only thing we were missing were strippers). I was asked if I wanted to do the cook off and quickly said "eh, maybe". That maybe really meant no I don't want to do it but I rather not sound like all the other douches and say no. So I choose to be the douche that said maybe.
What sound does a douchey toilet make...doooouuuucccchhheeee!
Next thing I know I'm on the email chain for brainstorming for our team's menu.
We had 7-8 people...

The time has finally come to say goodbye to Austin. This is something I wanted to post on Wednesday, the day we left, but we had to deal with some last minute problems. We packed up the truck on Wednesday morning and were on the road by the afternoon. The first night we stopped off in Monroe, Louisiana and stayed in a La Quinta. Ehhh I shiver with disgust just thinking about it. I would have slept better if I was on a cold slab in the middle of an artic storm. My skin itches just thinking about the dump. Thursday was a loooong day. We got on the road about 7:30 in the morning and called it quits...

Man, I can't believe how much I haven't blogged this month. I have had a ton of stuff I wanted to post but we've had a lot going on. It also doesn't help that I pretty much turned off my brain two weeks ago. When I get home I sit my ass on the couch and stare mindlessly into the TV for a few hours. It was cool for a few days but now it kind of sucks. Anyway, it's almost time to say goodbye to Austin and hello to Raleigh. I can't wait to get this move over with.
To the entrecard folks, sorry I haven't dropped hardly anything in awhile. Things have been hectic and I haven't been spending too much...

Am I the only person that thought Elton John's Tiny Dancer was a song about Tony Danza? Realizing that it wasn't totally blows my mind.
