This is, quite possibly, the most enjoyable music video ever.

André mentioned, a few days ago, that he wanted to modify or change his website theme. I started looking through ‘em and found this one that I’m using now. After some major color updates, changing every image from a yellowish green to blue and some hardcore editing of the CSS file, I really like this theme. However, as is customary with any major update I make on my site, something is amiss - namely, the tags aren’t working. The Search function is working, so at least I have that going. I’ll try to work on the tag function soon.

I don’t wanna go on and on about the JonBenet Ramsey investigation. I just want to state a fact. You should, at all costs, avoid looking like a psychotic video game villain when you’re being accused of murdering a six-year-old girl.

Christina and I have never had a really nice TV. We grew up with the TVs that had to be adjusted with big blocky buttons that often stuck, or dials that had to be aligned with the sun and the moon to actually pick up a signal while being adjusted with pliers and an aluminum foil antenna. While those days are long gone for many, there are still some who watch TV under such circumstances or - gasp - don’t own a TV. We never really got caught up with the current mainstream technology either, let alone next-generation stuff.

Over the past few months, Christina and I have talked about getting a new TV. Not just a new one, but I really nice one. We wanted a TV that would last. Our mentality was, `if we’re gonna get a nice one, let’s get a nice one that will last into the future.` After some heavy duty online shopping with the expert advice of Eriq, we ended up not getting one after all.

That is, until last weekend.

I just bought 35 Sausage McMuffins with Egg from the Golden Arches this morning. That’s a helluva lot of McMuffins, especially considering I don’t eat McDonald’s.

I’m sure they taste good. They certainly smell good… but I won’t eat ‘em. I’m stubborn. There are still about 20 of those things left as people here at work have wolfed ‘em down, but I won’t eat one. You might’ve guessed, and you’d be right, that my life was changed by Super Size Me. But now, over a year after seeing that fine documentary, I still haven’t taken so much as a bite of Mickey D’s. I should just get over it, right? Maybe. I just don’t want to.
