The Internet

So I spent a good 4 hours surfing the net today, and I mention 4 as a lot because none of it was used looking at peeno. Anyways much of it was devoted to looking at movies at imdb.com, specifically the discussion boards about the films. After about an hour it dawned on me that basically the internet is good for two things peeno and hating. I could not believe how many people were just being assholes for no reason, yes I understand Saving Private Ryan was not that great of a film but calling people who like it gay is unnecessary. This hate is only underscored by almost every fifth post being removed by an administrator. Why do people feel the urge to defend the merits of The Matrix Revolutions? I wonder if people would be just as big assholes in real life if they had the anonymity they enjoy on the internet?

I Wonder???

Simpsons

So this weekend I discovered a website where you can watch almost all of the Simpsons episodes ever made. It was kind of funny because to watch the episodes the site admin makes you fill out this survey with all of these crazy scams embedded in it that took about ten minutes to complete. It made me remember the old internet, an internet filled with uncertainty where you couldn't trust all of the pages out there and it was less apparent which ones were just going to give you pop-ups. Anyways I've discovered about 5 or 6 episodes that I've never seen before. They were mostly from season 9 and it has opened up a completely new chapter in my life. more to come

Star Trek (Spoiler Alert)

So I saw the new Star Trek last night at 7, which was cool because I didn't have to wait until midnight or whatever to see it the day before. The theater was also pretty empty and I guess no one in San Diego is really a trekkie cuz no one was dressed up except for one guy who was wearing a kilt. As for the movie, there are just too many science based errors/problems I have with the movie. For instance the old Spock talks to the new Spock, WTF doesn't this cause a rip in the space time continuum? I mean I know not all Star Trek science is real but I mean come on, you had Steven Hawking on your show. Also Spock was too emotional, and outranked Kirk, and got Uhura??? WTF I mean I am a bigger Star Wars fan than Trek, but when I want to take a break from unrealism I watch Star Trek. This film just had too many small problems that added up over time to just ultimately annoy me. However the movie was not all lost, almost all of the characters were spot on. Kirk, contrary to my previous assumptions, was not a school boy bitch and truly channeled his inner Shat, that 'good god man' he had was pretty good. But the oscar goes to bones, he was the real McCoy and did an outstanding job. In the end I hope this movie sparks interest for more Star Trek, hopefully of a higher caliber with more realism, and also did this just seem like they were jacking off Leonard Nimoy?

Another Deuce-related Game of Promise

So this is another deucing game that looks quite interesting

What Your Hot Sauce Says About YOU!

Ah you enjoy hot sauce, a person of discerning taste no doubt, but can your hot sauce reveal something about your personality? I've taken a deeper look into the manner, and let me say things got spicy.

Tobasco- You're a traditionalist, you like the classic original taste of America. Some might even call you a patriot, and that makes you glad, you like feeling part of something older than yourself. On the other hand if you own Tobasco but don't enjoy it yourself, and only have it there for another person as a condiment you're a complete and total tool. You know nothing of spice and figured "oh my friend likes spicy food, I'll give them tobasco" wrong! Most people I know when asked what sauce they like, would not say tobasco, it takes a certain person to enjoy tobasco, you should've gone with Tapatio or Cholula.

Tapatio- ah you're probably a Raiders fan, which is ok i guess, but you don't like to adhere to the normalcy of American type hot sauce. You want something different, a bit more flavor, you're not crazy about the hotness, but the flavor, that's what gets you.

Cholula- on the other hand, you also like the flavor, but are partial to the wooden cap, it's nice how it's not made of plastic, and somehow you like that. You have a more discerning taste, while similar in taste to Tapatio you would say "no I prefer Cholula". You are a true individualist and don't want other people to get in your way with 'inferior sauces' and why should they?

Sriracha-(red rooster sauce) You are a person of taste, you fancy the exotic, and you're taste has evolved and has been able to combine the heat with the flavor. You've tried all of the others but fell in love with Sriracha, and you judge a resturant on whether it has the sauce or not. You also probably have a false sense of security about you, seeing others use other hot sauces you think " what amateurs they think THEY can handle the heat", but why not all those other people who don't use Sriracha probably do suck.

Other- (Crystal, Red Rooster, various Trapeys brands)- You are loyal, you stay true to the sauce you love and you'll go great lengths to get it. You even more than the Tobasco fan enjoy normalcy, for you a meal just isn't right if it has your hot sauce. But you're good at dealing with disappointment, while at a friends house they know you like food and pull out their generic hot sauce for you because they know you like hot food, you oblidge and are thankful for their thoughtfulness. You'll buckle down and use their sauce all the while wishing you were using your own brand, but this is normal for you as no one you know would go out of their way to find or even buy your obscure sauce.

So remember next time you see someone reaching for some hot suace, remeber now you can judge the sauce by the bottle.
