Anime Motorcycles Are Coming

I am a huge fan of Japanese Animation. In almost every anime about the future they feature the main character on a motorcycle that looks identical to this one.... Crazy huh? The future is beginning to mix with our present.

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Mathematic Expression in Music.

Ok last night after I posted I was looking at youtube and found one of the greatest videos ever made.

I am not a huge fan of Rap music, choreographed dancing, or Barney. But what happens when you combine them? You get the title of "The Awesomest video EVER!!!"

Here it is.



Was I right or what?

So I was preparing to write an interesting post about lead singers of bands or groups... but I found this interesting youtube.com video on my dashboard.




So from that video I have decided to weekly post my current to-do list. Since this is the first of the to-do lists It will be a list of things that I wanted or did accomplish this last week.

1. Figure out what to get Robin for his Birthday. Only 8 days left.

2. Hang Tea Cup pictures, that have been sitting around the house for a year.

3. Keep looking for a job.

4. Stay current with my weightwatchers program.

7. Buy new strings. (strings broke due to number 6)

8. Buy wife flowers for anniversary.

9. Limit myspace.com visits to 5 times a day.

10. Pray more often for the Giants to do well this next season... I suppose they will now that Barry is gone.

11. Take care of the garbage.

12. Take a bike ride.

13. Finish Character profiles from my short story.

14. Be less critical of others.

15. Be less stalkerish when I am feeling nostalgic.

Ciao ciao,
