Happy Thanksgiving!

I love Thanksgiving! This is the day to spend with your loved ones and be thankful for everything you have. It's also a day that we commit the "Seven Deadly Sins." Here's how:

1. Pride, because you just cracked somebody's rib during the family "touch" football game.
2. Envy, because you have nothing new to brag about this year, but your Uncle Phil sure does. Jerk.
3. Gluttony, because you don't stop after just one helping.
4. Lust, because you're eyeing that last piece of turkey.
5. Anger, becuase you don't get it.
6. Greed, because you get to be the banker while playing Monopoly with your 10 year-old cousin.
7. Sloth, because you can't get up after dinner. It could kill you.

At the end of the day, everyone's okay with this and will gather together to do it again next year, if only for the "touch" football rematch.

Vote for Peter(!)

There's a guy at work (he's American) who changes his name depending on with whom he is talking. If you're his co-worker and you speak English, his name is Richard. If you speak Español (or Ethpañol in his case), his name is Ricardo.

I thought he was the only one who does this, but this is a fairly common occurance. Someone else at work knows a guy who goes by Micheal or Miguel, depending on the language you speak. You shouldn't have to translate your name. IT'S YOUR NAME!

Does this seem wrong to anyone else? I don't think they understand the ramifications of this if this were to get around. Suddenly, there would be a lot more Joes and Marys in the United States and no one would know why, except for me.

RENT = 10,000 Bean Burritos

Overall "Rent" is a gut-wrenching experience. from CNN.com

The guy who reviewed the movie musical for RENT liked it, believe it or not. I'm sure, though, "gut-wrentching" probably isn't the best description to use if you were going to recommend this film to anyone.

That sentance alone makes it sound like watching this movie is like eating 10,000 bean burritos and paying for it the next day. Now that's "raw and poignant." Who wants to see it now? I feel some gut-wrentching coming on.

METAL!!!

I never understood and I never will understand metal bands. They all sound the same to me. Loud, fast bass, heavy drums and distorted yelling in demonic-sounding voices. They should take all the metal bands in the world and form one giant metal band and call that "metal." It'll be plenty loud and distorted with lots of yelling in demonic-sounding voices. No one would know the difference.

PodCasting Rocks... But Not Too Hard.

Wow, I haven't updated in months. My bad. I've been busy with my podcast. Podcasting is fun.

Listen to my podcast at djnkg.podomatic.com or via iTunes. I'm pretty proud of it. It has nothing to do with metal... yet.
