Okay you all know or should know that I hate most vegetables and for that matter, most food. That said, at least I don't have some weird phobia of them that would make me as crazy as this chick.....enjoy

Now thats cheese
Because I know my readers are dying for another list to critique, I now give to you the Top Ten Cheesiest Movie Moments/Quotes. This list was actually harder to put together than I thought it would be.
#10
Yulaw: The Multiverse, every universe in it, is irrational, sloppy. I try to make it rational. I try to make it neat. You call it murder. How can I murder myself 123 times? (this actually became cheesier thanks to mac)
#9
Rafe: Danny, you can't die. You can't die. You know why? 'Cause you're gonna be a father. You're gonna be a daddy. I wasn't supposed to tell you. You're gonna be a father.
Danny: No, you are.
#8
Storm: Do you know what happens to a toad when it's struck by lightning?
The same thing that happens to everything else.
#7
Benjamin Martin: Before this war is over, I'm going to kill you.
#6
Rocky Balboa: If I can change, we can all change!
#5
Rose: I will never let go (it makes it cheesier to me that she lets go right after she says this, and yes i get that she meant it emotionally not physically, but i still find it funny)
#4
Dorothy Boyd: You had me at hello
#3
Mr. Freeze: Allow me to break the ice. My name is Freeze. Learn it well. For it's the chilling sound of your doom. (In all honesty, anything that Arnold says in this movie is cheesy. Seriously go look at the dialogue that he says, its spectacular!)
#2
Anakin Skywalker: Mom, you said that the biggest problem in the universe is no one helps each other. (I hate you Jake Lloyd....seriously)
#1
President Thomas Whitmore: Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. "Mankind." That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it's fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom...Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution...but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
I accept all comments or suggestions for replacements.

Show People
I've been to a few shows over the years. Not quite as many as some other people I know, but I think I have seen enough to make a pretty glossary of people you see at a typical show, with pictures and a brief description.
Weed Guy: This is the guy you always see who as soon as he gets in the concert starts to blaze up and doesn't stop until the end of the last encore. His music listening experience is, in his mind only good when he is high. By the end of the show, he is barely standing, and barely awake. He basically wastes a lot of money to get high in public.
Often heard saying things like: whoa! This is amazing! I'm hungry! You gotta try this stuff!
Old Dude: This is the guy who looks like he is about 40 years to old to be at a show. He is trying to act cool, but realistically its just sad. You may see him trying to be cool by getting in the pit, or mixing it up with some younger hooligans, but for the most part we all realize he is far to old to be here.
Often heard saying things like: C'mon, YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! Basically anything to not show his age.
Wannabe Punk Kid: This is the guy who won't conform to society's rules. He wears his hair in some odd way, has tattoos all over his body and basically tries to bring attention to himself. Although he craves the attention he also doesn't like it when people treat him differently because of his look, which is odd since that’s the purpose of his look. Generally speaking he is there to rebel against whatever is bugging him. For the most part he serves little or no purpose to anyone.
Often heard saying things like: Lots of expletives, society pushing him down, him being way more into what the music really stands for, and perhaps something about working at the cinnabon.
Band Guy: This is the guy who is in a band himself, but just hasn't hit it big like the group up on stage. Sure he has played maybe a few small clubs/venues in his time, and he is working at his local independent record store until he signs that big deal to make him the star that he knows he is. He may even bring flyers to one of his upcoming "shows" at his friend’s party.
Often heard saying thins like: What do you listen too? Oh we sound like them, yeah I’m in a band, and I’m working through some things till we can get the band going. You should come check us out; I think you'll like us.
The Collector: This is the guy who lets it be know how much better he is than you by telling you how many shows he has been too. This type of person usually travels with a group of followers (there is no leader). They usually have a band shirt from a different show that lets you know that they were there and that you weren't. They are really there for the music which is good, but going to all these different shows/events it really makes you wonder if it loses its purpose.
Often heard saying things like: Oh yeah I saw "insert random band name" at "insert random venue location" it was so much better than when I saw "insert obscure band name" at "insert obscure band location"

World Cup
I became enamored by the world cup in 1994 when America played host. Since then, every 4 years I look forward to watching games at odd hours and rooting for my favorites. I always cheer for America, because I’m a homer like that and this year I thought the team would finally show that they were ready to compete on the world stage. Alas I was wrong...very very wrong. I watched every team play at least 1 game, most 2, but I have to say no one looked quite as inept as the USA team. I saw no consistent pushing of the ball, no real formula for winning, or any plays set up. What I did see by the American team, is a team overmatched in every game aspect. Every game they looked like they were playing for a tie or not to lose. It was really sad to see. You'd think that in a country as large as ours, we could somehow assemble a quality team and coach, but we must wait another 4 years to see if they can do it.
With the USA out, I have decided that I will be rooting for England, unless you the public sway me to root for someone else. So if you don't think England deserves my cheering, please let me know who I should root for and why.
Whoops
If you are going to the bathroom, and the button on your shorts isn't exactly held on by very much, my advice to you would be to not stand in front of the toilet while buttoning up. I'm not saying that I was at a korean coffee house on wednesday and I did this exact thing and lost my button to the toilet, but I'm saying it could happen. I'm just trying to help everyone should they ever be stuck in this situation, cause having to make sure your belt is on extra tight could be quite tiresome.

On My Birthday.....
Every morning yahoo.com lists historical facts that happened on that current day. Since today is my birthday I thought I'd see what they were.
-On June 20, 1893, a jury in New Bedford, Mass., found Lizzie Borden not guilty of the ax murders of her father and stepmother.
-In 1782, Congress approved the Great Seal of the United States.
-In 1863, West Virginia became the 35th state
-In 1943, race-related rioting erupted in Detroit; federal troops were sent in two days later to quell the violence that resulted in more than 30 deaths
-In 1947, Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel was shot dead at the Beverly Hills, Calif., mansion of his girlfriend, Virginia Hill, apparently at the order of mob associates
-In 1967, boxer Muhammad Ali was convicted in Houston of violating Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted. (Ali's conviction was ultimately overturned by the Supreme Court).
-In 1979, ABC News correspondent Bill Stewart was shot to death in Managua, Nicaragua, by a member of President Anastasio Somoza's national guard
-Five years ago: Houston resident Andrea Yates drowned her five children in the family bathtub, then called police
Hmm for the most part my birthday is full of not good times.
I do share my birthday with: Bob Vila from this Old House, Tina Sinatra, John Goodman, Nicole Kidman, Director Robert Rodriguez, John Lucas....and of course the one...the only.........
LIONEL RICHIE!!!

Just a Few Updates
I guess a lot has been going on lately. First of all I'd like to say congratulations to my sister for graduating from high school this past Friday. Even though she didn't do the heisman trophy pose or bust out a lightsaber while getting her diploma but she is cool nevertheless. Congrats again Spiff!
Went to Johnney Chong's birthday party on Saturday night. Important lesson learned, belly dancers are not strippers JKC!
Today I went to the bar/bbq place from Top Gun. I got to see the piano and imagine myself as maverick...except less crazy cause of Xenu. My shirt arrives June 27th by the way, so I’ll post pictures of me with it soon.
Remember when you are a kid and all you want for your birthday is the newest and coolest toy? Optimus Prime, G.I. Joe Bomber Plane, Voltron! There were so many. Anyway celebrating my birthday the other day I got a lot of what I really wanted:
That’s right, black socks! Having to dress up as if I'm an actual adult everyday I find myself searching for matching black socks all the time. Somehow one always disappears, it’s really annoying. This will save me time searching in the morning and will be an extra day without having to do laundry! Yes I know I am a loser. Don't Judge Me.
Along with my socks I also got a gift so that I can join the "fantasia's book suggestions"
I still need to finish reading my current book, but with any luck I'll be able to start and finish 1776 in August when I go on vacation. Speaking of vacation, is anyone doing anything cool in the near future? I have a few vacation hours to kill...and by a few I mean like 400.
Anyway I'll be turning 27 in about an hour, am I really 27? Seriously? It really doesn't seem possible. I still collect Star Wars toys. I still live at home. I still eat sandwiches for lunch everyday. I still watch wrestling (okay not consistently, but its on right now). I still make immature jokes and laugh like I’m 12....yet here I am, 27. It boggles the mind.

I heart Scientology
I should be getting this T-shirt soon:
but I really wish I knew where to get this one:
but I really wish I knew where to get this one:
my job
Today the Board of Supervisors approved a $10 million package to help out the hospitals, physicians and community clinics. It is fun to be someone behind the big things that get done in the County, even though the top people get all the credit, I still got 5 phone calls today thanking me for my help on the issue. Days like today really make my job. I know a lot of you still think I don't actually do anything except watch TV and chat online, but I actually do things and today was one of the bigger days for me here. I only have less than 7 months of time remaining before I leave this position, but its nice to know that I helped do something that will be going on for a couple of years.
....now back to my TV

A new top 10.....
As promised to some of you, here are my top 10 quotes from comedies. Enjoy and let me know if I'm missing any important ones.
#10
Ned Nederlander: Oh, Dusty. In-famous is when you're MORE than famous. This man El Guapo, he's not just famous, he's IN-famous.
#9
Chris Pontius: Wait a minute. I already know my fortune, it's to party!
#8
Kenny Davis: [to horse] Hey, girl! You hungry?
Overweight Woman: [walking by and overhears] F*ck you, nigga!

#7
Brodie Bruce: Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some escalator accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect that escalator.
#6
H.I.: I'll be taking these Huggies and whatever cash ya got.
#5
Knibb High Principal: Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
#4
Steve McCroskey: This fog is getting thicker.
Johnny: And Leon is getting laaaaarrrrrger!!
#3
Capt. Ed Hocken: Doctors say that Nordberg has a 50 - 50 chance of living, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that.
#2
Peter Gibbons: I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be.
and my #1 quote from a comedy is............
Dark Helmet: Found anything yet?
Henchmen: Man, we ain't found sh*t!

Things I Hate #2
The thing I hate right now is the idiot jury forewoman from the jury I just served on. Let's see why she is stupid:
1. Indirectly called me a racist. I called her out of line...she backed down
2. She thought all cops were crooked and all their testimony was lies.
3. The defendant in the case took the stand and she saw him as the perfect witness.
4. Tried to make the case about race.
5. Kept making up hypothetical situations that didn't relate to the case.
6. Wanted to have a group discussion after the case. (I left)
7. Kept talking and interrupting people.
Yeah that’s all I can think of right now. I'm getting angry just remembering it. Spending 2 days in a locked room debating her got old fast.....really really fast.
