I stumbled across a website that “keeps it real.” How much more street cred can you get than if you write about graffiti, tacos, and other cheap eats? This site is legit. It’s got my attention.

There is one thing that automation cannot replace in the world. It will not be able to replace the benefits you get when talking to a live, knowledgeable person. I can’t stand automated attendant systems when I call into vendors. Whenever you reach one of these, chances are that you are going to be on hold even after you get through selecting your choices. There have been quite a number of times that I start doing other things while I am on hold, and by the time I have finally gotten through to a live person and forgotten why I originally called or who I called. I then scramble to look at my phone and see who I called, all the while saying, “Uh…I was looking for…some help with…” Stop making me look stupid and pick up the damn phone!

Still, once in a while I am relieved to catch a break with some hold music. One particular customer of ours has “Just Like Heaven” for their hold music. It’s always a treat to call them and be placed on hold. Sometimes I ask to be put on hold a little while longer to get to the good part of the song.

Diets be damned! This summer is The Summer of BBQs. Every weekend when there aren’t plans to do something is an automatic excuse to fire up the grill. We run around so much, both in real life and in our virtual lives online, that we forget to enjoy the simple things. That is what The Summer of BBQs is all about, hanging out and catching some rays, enjoying a cold brew, and eating meat. My BBQ grill has a deep fryer attachment that I’m too scared to try, but if someone is willing to risk third degree oil burns, let’s fry up some delicious goodnes.

Now to sell you on this brilliant idea.

You think if I got my weight down to 125 pounds I could get this to go 1 foot/second? That would still be pretty awesome.

Ever since the end of high school, I have been thinking about getting my own pair of bowling shoes. As soon as I tell people I got bowling shoes they ask, “Do you bowl that much?” I don’t bowl all that much, but  it’s a good investment. If I go a dozen times, I will have more than made my money back in shoes I did not have to rent.

I started looking at bowling shoes to get, and they have shoes that look just like tennis shoes, but Michelle is right. When people see you in your bowling shoes, they should know exactly why you showed up. I want people to know when I step out on the lanes, I am here to bowl. That’s why Michelle has a pair of the exact same shoes I selected, to show we mean business.

When I was writing my last post, I got tangled into the web that is YouTube. I started browsing related videos and I found this Weezer cover. Then I remembered Tim showed me a great ukulele player, so I dug up that video as well. Then I went to look back at girl, who did the Weezer cover to see if she played anything else on the ukulele. I found this video that made me laugh.

Weezer has a new album coming out in just about a week. Their new single, Pork and Beans, has been on the airwaves for a while now, and it’s typical Weezer style. I like Weezer, but this song is nothing special, or at least that’s what I thought until I saw the official video. I always classified Weezer into their own genre, which I called Geek Rock. They’ve gone and proved that by creating a music video with some of the Internet’s most infamous personalities.

This seems strange, coming from me, but I wonder if we are better off without the Internet? Don’t get me wrong here. When I say “we” I mean other people. I would not be better off without the Internet. Still, the Internet has brought about the colliding of worlds that is unnatural.

Take this douche bag for instance. He’s pretty proud of himself, waving his money like he’s a big shot. How much money is he actually holding? I’d estimate it at about $1000 tops. In his world that probably is pretty big money, but when you look at a global community online, that’s chump change. When he exposes himself to the Internet, we laugh. When he opens his mouth and tries to defend himself, we laugh even harder.

I wrote a little while back that I like taking pictures of when I’m on the road, specifically pictures of collisions. I don’t know why. I just do. Today was even better than normal.

I started my day off visiting a customer with my dad, so I didn’t take my normal route to work. I went straight down Crenshaw, and the whole time he kept saying we should have taken the freeway. I couldn’t figure out why the traffic was so slow until I saw this.

I have compiled a list of things that I want to do before the end of this summer. Please let me know if you would like to do any of these activities with me or have any suggestions of things to add to the list.

Fishing - There are plenty of good lakes to fish within a two-hour drive. I can get my old poles and equipment from my uncle. I might even take a day off to go fishing this summer.
