I was going through some old digi photos and came across the ink set. It was the summer of '02 in Berkeley. Man, it was only six years ago but it feels like ages. I went to the shop with Audrey - she got something small done on her lower back. But I went first. She took my camera and documented the whole thing. I guess I was into her - but she had a "boyfriend" back in France. Come to think of it, she was the only blonde that ever really...

Yo Jason, you're being called out, dude.

And I shit you not - parked next to this SUV was a red convertible with license plate "We ♥ USA 2". What a cute couple.

There's more daylight to go around. It's 6 AM and the sun is already peeking through my window blinds. Even Bob Marley wants to move his dancing feet. I complain it's hot and I drink hot coffee. I recoil at the thought of hot, pollen-filled gusts but I roam the trails on a two wheel. Last weekend felt like summer. It burned.



We are a fever. Get over it.

SAO PAULO, Brazil (AP) — Hopes for finding a priest who disappeared after soaring into the air with hundreds of colorful balloons are growing slimmer, rescue officials said Wednesday.

Roman Catholic Rev. Adelir Antonio de Carli has been missing since Sunday, when he lifted off from the port city of Paranagua wearing a helmet, an aluminum thermal flight suit, waterproof coveralls and a parachute. He was seeking to break a record for the longest time in-flight with helium-filled party balloons.

The whiny little bitch asks god why he missed a penalty in the 2nd minute of the Barcelona-Man United Champions League semi-final. Everybody hurts, my friend. This day, it was god's will.

Lionel Messi's cheeky little trick is sure to impress.

The look on the face of Cesc is effin hilarious. Obviously this captures the mood at the Emirates around January, before Arsenal blew away the league title. Oh well, there's always next year...

71 is the new 51? If a septuagenarian can win in Italy then maybe he could win here. Take some pointers Mr. McCain. Props to the Los Angeles Times for showing Francesco Totti in the voting booth. But he bleeds Roma, so I can't see him casting a vote for Mr. Milan, but you never know...

Bear with me during this redecorating process. I am experimenting with new templates and want to spruce up the place. I already uploaded one I didn't like and it wiped out some widgets. Eventually I'll get the place to look half decent - but I'll never achieve the greatness in design that is A Discordian Dilemma - not on old blogger. By far, Ahenobarbus has the most visually stunning layout in blogtopia.

The Simpsons has been dropped from morning TV in Venezuela after being deemed unsuitable for children - and has been replaced by Baywatch. The popular US cartoon about the yellow dysfunctional family was branded "inappropriate" and pulled by the country's television authorities. Caracas TV station Televen has started showing episodes of the beachside show in the same mid-morning slot.

NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - For married women who can't figure out why they always have so much housework researchers may have the answer -- husbands.

A new study from the University of Michigan shows that having a husband creates an extra seven hours of extra housework a week for women. But a wife saves her husband from an hour of chores around the house each week.

"It's a well-known pattern. There's still a significant reallocation of labor that occurs at marriage -- men tend to work more outside the home, while women take on more of the household labor," said Frank Stafford, of the university's Institute for Social Research (ISR), who directed the study.


Feh, not in my house. I do the cooking and cleaning. But seriously, if these douchebags could just clean up after themselves then there would be no need for seven hours of extra housework per week.

Wake up. Go downstairs. Make coffee. Fire up the laptop. Switch on FSC. Right now Newcastle are dismantling Reading - Newcastle just scored their third goal - a beautiful collaborative effort between Viduka, Geremi and Martins. It's 3-0 now. Looks like they'll survive - the Geordies will be singing and Keegan won't be crying in the shower tonight.

My weekends consist heavily of futbol. Watch one or two Saturday morning games live from the UK. Catch a bit of La Liga from Spain around noon. Sunday, go kick it around at the park.
