The picture above was taken from Cracked.com’s list of Instructional Diagrams for People Who Suck At Everyday Life. 

I, personally, just want to know where this picture was taken.  You know you live in a dumbed down society when people need more than just a number, but rather a picture of hands to count out that number on *rolls eyes*

Today has been a lazy day, only a little under two weeks left in this summer.  Woohoo!  The day was filled with sleeping and a nerf gun fight which I won hands down (mostly due to a 35 round barrel I had attached to my gun =)

Yep, kicked my bro to the curb.

Yes, other than that my day was fairly uneventful.  Oh, yes, and speaking of shooting things, here’s a look at a multiplayer match for you to watch on the Halo Reach Ivory Tower Map courtesy of the HaloWaypoint channel on Youtube.

Ohhh myyy sooo exciteeed =D

Corgi Bellyflops________________________________

Check out this video, ADORABLE!  It makes it even cuter that the corgi is named Koopa, very fitting.

Fluffee Talks Crushing Lil Girl Dreams______________

There’s a pretty funny channel I follow on Youtube called FluffeeTalks.  Two days ago he featured a story about this little girl who had her lemonade stand shut down because she didn’t have papers… Yeeeaaahhh… Just listen.

What.the.hell.

And here’s a LINK to the original story too.

Ridiculous, hm?

Sheep Move Into Hobbiton________________________

 Copyrighted This Blog Rules

Sheep have moved into what was left of the movie set for Hobbiton from Lord of the Rings.

What was left from the filmmakers, farmers have made use of as shelter for their sheep.  Nice way to recycle.

And now I’m off to play some Call of Duty, see ya’ll on Monday.

Gramer Lesun; Stop Motion Across America; Pirate Hunting;

Alrighty, today has not been the most productive in way of finding interesting things to put here…

So here’s a cute cat to console you…

 

 

 

 

No, lol, I do have more than just a cat about to be put through a washing machine…

While today has been majorly unproductive in regards to interesting pics and articles for the blog, I clean the bathrooms in the house (it was just a joooyyy…) so that is now done and I hope it’s the last time I have to do it before I ship back to college (in a box).

The journey to Ikea in order to collect parts for my Portal mirror has been scheduled for Saturday, it will be exciting!  I’m probably going to end up making two, one for me and one for my little bro.  Haven’t decided whether to do one orange and one blue or both of them blue or orange… I’m thinking that’s going to be a day of decision.  You may comment on what you think if you wish.

The thumb is also doing better, still a little stiff, but virtually no pain which is a GREAT thing, trust me.

Gramer Lesun_______________________________

It was physically painful for me to put that as the title… but I like the irony.

The Oatmeal is a pretty cool website with some interesting stuff on it.  When I stumbled upon this I just had to share it, because it’s not only a grammar lesson, it also has some funny jokes and cute pics as well.

Check out the full page HERE.

Stop Motion Across America______________________

Here’s a really cool video using stop-motion of a guy walking across America.

It was made possible by getting Levi Jeans to sponsor the trip in exchange for them using their products in the video.

Read all about it HERE.

Pirate Hunting Vacation_________________________

 In mother Russia, citizens hunt pirates.

Apparently, it has become a hot thing for Russian tourists to board armed ships and go pirate hunting.

Pretty interesting, read about it HERE.

CoD Black Ops Peek; How to Ruin a Career; Shark Tea Infuser; Pea Plant Grows in Lung; I’m Sorry… I Set Your House on Fire;

So my thumb hurts like the Dickens for some reason.  Not quite sure what I did to it, but it’s in the joint furthest from my hand (because I don’t know the proper name of it) along the outside.  Can’t use it to pick anything up without pain and it’s also really stiff…

I injure myself all the time without remembering how (that sounded really masochistic).  My main problem with this minor annoyance is that it keeps me from playing any video games that require full functionality of my left thumb (every game that you have to move around).  So this sucks… Oh well, I can still type, which I wouldn’t be able to do if it was any other finger.  My right thumb has the job of operating the spacebar =)

Sooo… as long as we are healed by September 14th, we are a-okay!  Because you know what comes out theeennn!  HALO REACH!!!!!

And speaking of games that involve killing things, A NEW LOOK INTO CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS WAS RELEASED!!!!!  Check it out…

=D

=D

=D

*drooling*

This will be the second Call of Duty game that I actually buy rather than bum of friends (which I do quite often *shameshameshame*)  Yes, this THIS looks WONDERFUL!!!!!!  I’m so excited!  Let’s hope my little bro gets a 360 for Christmas so he can play too =)

How to Ruin a Career__________________________

So, from what I’ve read… apparently this secretary got tired of dealing with her boss… and after she heard him calling her a “Hot Piece of Ass” kinda snapped and sent these nice little pics to him quitting her job.

Read and look at the photos HERE.

Now there are a lot of DUMB MOTHERF*CKERS in this world (excuse my French), but you, miss, you’re close to the top of the pyramid.

Now, there’s something you need to understand about the internet.  Some things end up online and go completely unnoticed… and some go online and end up EVERYWHERE.

You wanted to be a broker?  You wanted a career?  Probably going to be a lot harder now.  And let me just say, it’s not because you quit, it’s because you were an attention whore about it.  It’s one thing to leave a position because of a terrible boss or work environment, it’s another to take amusing little pictures and pass them around your entire office.

Wow… just wow… and in this economy too?  There are probably more than a hundred people lining up for your job already.  *shakes head* Sooo… stupid.

Shark Tea Infuser_______________________________

Now, I’ve never been too big into tea.  I like iced tea, and when my allergies are real bad and I need something to clear my throat, an Earl Grey or Chai is usually enough; So this is really for other tea lovers like one of my friends and fellow blogger over at Squaring Circles, who is a bit of a tea enthusiast.

My knowledge of tea is very basic, so this doesn’t do much for me other than a coolness factor… and the giggles at having a shark swimming around in my cup.

Check out the full design HERE.

Pea Plants Grows in Man’s Lung____________________

Apparently this man swallowed a pea and it went down the wrong way.  A little bit later, he began to have coughing fits and breathing problems… soon after his lung collapsed and he though he might have a tumor or lung cancer.

Doctors puzzled away at the mysterious cause, but tests showed nothing wrong.  And then they took an x-ray…

It’s pretty hard to believe.  I remember those scary stories about swallowing different seeds and then having the horror of them growing inside your body, effectively killing you in the long-run; but they were just stories.

Not anymore

Read the rest HERE.

I’m Sorry… I Set Your House on Fire________________

It’s a very… Weird Al Yankovic-esque song.  I laughed all the way through it the first time, very cool. 

Tourist ATTRACTION; Seat Savers; Pool Dog; Airplane Journey; Make your own PORTAL!

Look closely at this picture… you’ll know when you see it…

Still don’t see it?  Maybe this will help.  (Hint: It’s not the building.)

  Still don’t see it?  Start at the woman’s face… trail your eyes down- WHOA!  That gives a whole new meaning to tourist attraction!

Yeeeaaahhh… saw this one on the internet and couldn’t help but share.  It doesn’t look photoshopped.  The guy’s smile in the back just makes this extra creepy… Tsk tsk… can’t go doing that stuff in public.

These photos were courtesy of KuvatON.com, which appears to be a simple website with funny pictures.  Enjoy

So I took our family dog, Gertie (short for Gertrude) to the groomer today.  She was looking pretty rough as she’s a non-shedding dog so a haircut is necessary at least every two months, most times sooner, and while that seems trivial, it’s a small price to pay for not having to deal with fur everywhere.  She came back looking acceptable, which is good considering the horrid grooming experiences we’ve had since we’ve gotten to Florida.  And that activity pretty much made up my day.

I’m going to be reviewing NCAA ‘11 soon (Whenever I feel like it).  I’m not good at reviewing games beyond just giving my opinion of it, and considering this is a football game, it’s about the same as every other football game that’s ever been released.

Ingenious Seat Savers___________________________

Now it’s not like I would ever pay money for these… but I cannot deny their coolness…

At first glance, this appears to be an ice cream covered spoon left on a seat by some inconsiderate customer.  How rude!

But things are not always what they appear.

Check out these cool little devices HERE, they actually look pretty realistic!

Dog Playing Pool_______________________________

No, not “in” the pool…

He may not be too sure of the rules, but just tell him which balls to knock in and he can handle it.

This pretty much blows away the idea that Pitbulls are hard to train.

Airplane Journey_______________________________

Being someone who has flown on an airplane more times than I can count on both my hands and feet, I was highly amused by Christoph  Niemann’s take on a flight from New York, to Londen, and then to Berlin.

The picture on the right is taken from his picture documentation of his journeyand I can attest that, indeed, the seat only leans back that bare inch.

Check out the entire story HERE.

Portal Mirror!__________________________________

ALRIGHT!

I found something awesome on the internet today (as usual) and have decided to introduce a new “event” Miranda Challenge Time!

This is where I will attempt to make something either useful… or not… and will document and post up a blog about it.  Our first project will be this mirror.

Now, all the gamers who read will already know exactly what this is.

For those who don’t:  This is a portal from the videogame Portal.  I’m not going to write an entire post explaining game dynamics, so I’ll just say I think it’s cool, so I’m going to make one for my dorm.

I have an Ikea in the area, and paint is super easy to come by at hobby stores.  You can learn how to make your own HERE!

Baby Panda on the Loose; Modern Art: Flylashes; Shoot the President Carnival Game; Zach in the Buff;

Every day drags by closer to the end of summer and my endless boredom.  Today was spent doing laundry, finishing the Firefly television series, and watching Surrogates.

I love Firefly, as it’s a great show mostly because of the plot.  Now that I’ve finished the series I think I might like to DM a Firefly game sometime in the near future.  It’d give me an exercise in story writing, one I so dearly need, and stretch my creativity bones a bit.  Moving on…

Surrogates was a pretty good movie.  I’d give it about a 4/5.  The movie was kind of complicated so that, for a few minutes, I was a bit confused about what exactly was going on.  It was a thinking film really.  In the end I couldn’t really be sure who the “bad guy” was.  I like those kinds of movies.

Being a very black and white person when it comes to morality, it’s good exercise to see a movie where I can’t really pick out who is right and who is wrong.  Makes me remember that the grey areas are really there.

Baby Panda Escapes_____________________________

Enough with the serious talk!  This is a fun blog, right?

Now, I saw this video and though, “Aww… what a cute panda,” until he actually slipped through the bars then I noticed that no one seemed to care that a wild animal had just easily escaped his cage.

If I had been there:  “Oh dear God!  It’s coming for us!  We’re all going to die!” because I know when that ended up on Youtube later it would’ve been funny as hell.

That was the cute video for today, you’re welcome.

Modern Art:  Fly Leg Eyelashes?___________________

Why yes, those are eyelashes made of the legs of flies.

The above picture is taken from a video called Flylashes and is called a “video sculpture,” and I was dumb enough to think them two different things.

Yes, this is what counts as modern art.

Yes, you can read about it and watch the video “sculpture” HERE.

Carnival Game featuring “Shoot the President”_______

“We never meant to be political at all, we just meant to be current.”

Yeah, sure… that’s not political at all /sarcasm.

I can’t say enough how royally messed up something like this is.  The interviewees towards the end of the video have it right:  It is disrespectful, and it does promote racism and violence.

Even as a conservative who would not have voted for Obama, I am ashamed for my fellow Americans.  Disgusting…

Zach in the Buff________________________________

This is pretty cool.  From the little information I can find, it seems this guy, Zach Anner, who happens to have Cerebral Palsy and a great sense of humor, has started his tour of Buffalo, NY with his video about Niagara Falls.

I think this is pretty awesome.  I’ve since subscribed to his channel and am looking forward to his next video.  You can either wait until the end of the video to subscribe, or you can subscribe at his channel HERE.

P.S. I didn’t really talk about anything I did this weekend because I didn’t do much.  Oh yes, and the show Hoarders scares the Dickens out of me.  DO NOT WANT
