I had a crazy dream the other night... yeah, I know most dreams are crazy, but this one was nuts. David Hasslehof was in it.
I can remember was me and some friends were on the beach and there was David Hasslehof, Ron Pearlman, and Harrison Ford with their shirts off. And they were glaring at us. Just standing there glaring. We knew they were going to kill us. So we ran over and lit their camp on fire. But it was a set up. they called the cops on us and accused us of arson. We tried to tell the cops the truth. I'm not sure what happened between that part and the next....
That same group of friends, who I still don't know who they were, were climbing up this ladder on the side of a building I think. I'm not really sure. It was a metal ladder and we were climbing in a very small bricked in space.. I don't know. It was weird. Not sure how we got from David Hasslehoff to that...ANYways...
Yeah I told you it was crazy. Usually my dreams are influenced by what I was doing or watching before i went to sleep. But I wasn't watching anything with David Hasslehof in it. I was playing Oblivion! Unless, that game has David Hasslehof subliminally projecting to your brain.

Juice concentrate, and the effect it has on chapped lips.
Ok so i'm here eating out of a can of one of those Tropicana frozen juice concentrate thingies. Just sitting here proverbially minding my own business. First, the conents:
Pineapple juice concentrate, banana puree, clarified pineable juice concentrate, orange juice concentrate, filtered water, lemon juice concentrate, and ascorbic acid
Secondly, I have had severely chapped lips for the past few days. The chappage managed to produce multiple cracks along my upper lip. Ever heard the expression, "pouring lemon juice/salt into the wound"? Theres a reason that it is often used in negative context.
So, have I learned my lesson? Sure have. Use chapstick.

EPIC
I originally wrote up a post about this in the FITES forums, so I will just do a good ol' ctrl+c, ctrl+v.
A buddy of mine was telling me about the "Google Empire" last night. He brought up some very strong points. Google could, in reality, take over the world. I don't know if anyone saw the flash movie EPIC a few years back. It is a fictional documentary about google centralizing all forms of media and communications. Well the first half of it is fact but the rest is theory :P
EPIC
They mention a fictional "Google Grid". They just got one step closer to that bit being true. Offering online storage. Thats nothing new really, but added to all of their features, its a powerful addition. I had mentioned to a few people the other day that my guess, is that Google has so much space that they have no clue really what to do with it all.
Aside from that, for those of you who don't know, Google has recently acquired most of the remaining dark fiber as explained in this article.
"They might wind up talking to infrastruture backbone companies such as Level 3 about peering services for what could be a new, de facto Internet."
Another interesting find. Google's new recruitment methods. Posting on a billboard out in Sillicon Valley, ""{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits e}.com." The answer, 7427466391.com, would lead a puzzle-sleuth to a Web page with yet another equation to solve, with still no sign the game was hosted by Google." as found here. Very unique and cool way to recruit. According to my friend Brian, they are sorting out and recruiting all the smart people for themselves.
Ok so Google has what seems to be unlimited amounts of storage, mass quantities of dark fiber, and smart people. :P Lets add the largest searchable database to that list.
To give an extra idea on how large google actually is, less than 10% of all searches performed in the last 3 years were pr0n related. Now, if you know anything about the net, basically everyone who surfs the net regulary looks for pron. To have it being in the lowest percentile ought to tell you something.
I spose I should emphasize that I, myself, do not strongly believe in the "Google taking over the world" theory... but it is interesting to think about hehe. iunno. thought i'd share that. *shrug*

Dragonforce
Ok, I'm not much for 80's style heavy metal.... but this stuff is just cool. Band called dragonforce...not from the 80's, they just like doing 80's style music for some reason. But the fact that they play in 32nd notes in every song is just mesmerizing. If you carry any shred of musical knowledge, you'll know 32nd notes is just plain insanity.
Dragonforce - Through Fire And Flames
Please note that yes, they do play live, and no, they dont synthesize the guitars. They will be touring the US(seeing as they are a UK-based band) this summer. Click Here for more info.

Pirates
Ok, we all know pirates are cooler than ninjas. But no one has really went into detail as to why. Most people screw up their face, stutter a bit and then end this horrible expressional ballet with a simple and very anti-climatic "they just are!".
Right. Silly people.
I will explain to you why pirates are, in fact, cooler than said ninjas:
I. The Gist(noun. syn. basis, bearing, bottom line, burden, core, drift, essence, force, heart, idea, import, kernel, keynote, marrow, etc.)
-Ninjas: Cool. Calm. Collected. They live in silence, are usually well-manered, and will annoy the hell out of you with their overwhelming silence. They will refrain from any acts of barbaric brutality, unless of course it will make them look cool with use of various camera techniques. They have a knack for the theatrical; to sneak up on you all sneaky-like.
-Pirates: Pillage. Plunder. Portside. They live for the very essence of crudeness. They WILL get their way, whether you like it or not. I can garuntee you won't. Loud and brash, Johnny Q Pirate is blunt and to the point. Never will he say excuse me lest it be in mockery of sorts. Unlike the ninja, the pirate undulges in barbaric brutality; the camera techiniques are just an added bonus. As with the ninja, the pirate has a knack for the theatrical, albeit swinging from ropes, walking planks, or even swashbucklling high ranking enforcement officials while drunk and winning.
There. I've done what most other people vocally stumble over. The above explanation is fact. Opinions aren't allowed in this blog. If you have a conflicting opinion with the aforementioned fact, please do not comment, for it will do you no good.
EDIT: A couple people have gotten ahold of me by other means and have brought to my attention that one could not comment even if they wanted to. I thought the message in the above paragraph was conveyed well enough to forego further translation...
