The Conundrum

I was wondering if anyone knows a good source where I can find album information for bands. I am looking to update all the information in my iTunes and iPod and there seems to be a lot of songs/groups without album names or inaccurate song names. Anything information would be great. Thanks.

The baller cheating pen. I've always wanted one of these, but then I learned how to get the most of my MiniDisc(recording answers via microphone).

New Hat

Decided to pick up this bad boy today. I like almost any team from California: 'Niners, A's, Chargers, Sac-Town. I remember going to a few 'Niner and A's games when I lived in Californ-i-a. So I got an almost all black pro fit and Donnie has his all black NY cap. Now Scooter has to lose that horrendous blue NY and pick up a new one and we'll be set.

In other news, I met this little gal at the Mall today for the first time. And what an impression she made, hanging out behind the counter serving customers pretzels in the food court just because she was bored. We had usually just chat via AIM before, so it was nice to finally put a face with the legendary name of Erin Ingle. It was truly a pleasure, and I will do all I can to get you your Su Doku.

McLean Rejoins The SOB

Chris, as of last night, has rejoined the SOB with a miraculous post on his new blog, Desert Storm, about one of Medford's most well known and well respected resident blogers, Adam Machado.

"The man is currently living the dream that MLK referred to over 40 years ago."

After a two month hiatus, for reasons that will not be discussed, McLean rejoins the Southern Oregon Blogosphere with hopes of making it into Blog-A-Fella, the elite blogging group in S. Oregon. This prime re-entry has definitely got the peoples attention, but is it enough? Only time will tell the intentions of Chris McLean.

Mandatory Update

Had a few days there without any updates, I'm sorry. I was either hanging out with Donnie, Amanda, and Scott, or the internet was down. Donnie posted pictures from last Thursday. Here are some of my pictures from our trip to Portland.

The Dairy Queen Duck

While at Dairy Queen enjoying a dipped vanilla cone with Donnie-

Donnie: ::Farts::
Me: There must be a duck or frog around here somewhere.
Donnie: And that duck STANKS!!!

Thank You

Erin has presented Donnie and I each with two Toblerone's and a special card. This is my first Valentine gift/card ever. Thank you very much Erin.

ps- I couldn't get to the stand to drop off your gift. I'll find a way to get you your Su Doku.

"The only reason that this blog exists is for the purpose of infuriating the nefarious Scott Jeter, aka the duder. I look forward to giving him more reasons to off himself in the future. Good night and good luck."
-Retardo, aka Ryan, of Sic Semper Tyrannus

Granted I don't know who this "Retardo" is, he looks like a real hoser writing that he "looks forward to giving him more reasons to off himself in the future." Either he has a complete and utter hatred for Scooter and truly does hope that he (Scott) "offs" himself, which is completely absurd, or he just has a big fucking mouth and would like people(friends, enemies, strangers, maybe even a couple stalkers) to believe that he is a hard ass. By the looks of it he's no BAMF. Hell, he's no BA either. Like I said, I don't know who he is, but you can kind of get a grasp of ones personality by the way the speak and present themselves. He presented himself like a true dip shit. Hell, I probably just did the same about myself by writing this about a complete stranger. But someone hoping that someone else takes their own life, then wanting to be the inspiration for that act, is crossing what some would call "The Line."

Retardo, just remember that your actions precede you.

Porsche Cayman S

How sweet is the new Porsche Cayman S? The front end has the same old Porsche look, but the back has some drastic changes compared to other Porsche's. It my not have the most horsepower, at 295, but it definitely is one of the slickest designs out there. It has parts from both the Carrera and Boxster, which is pretty sweet because the Carrera is one mean machine and the Boxster is already a awesome road car. The Cayman S dwells in each world, but is the master of both. It has stiffer chassis which make it even more responsive than the Boxster. I guess that there is no "base" version yet, but one is soon expected. Besides the slant nose Carrera twin turbo, I think that this is my favorite car on an "altogether" scale. There are other car designs that I like, but on an all around rating, the Cayman S is up there.

Cha Ching

Just found my misplaced gift card my brother got me for Christmas. I basically gave up on it. I figured that with four other boys in the house that someone had mistaken it for theirs and used it. Then out of nowhere, BOOM, I find it waiting for me with 25 available dollars just for me. Maybe there is a hat in store for me, literally.

Otterbox iPod Cases

Otterbox now makes a cases for the iPod Video, Nano, Mini, and Shuffle. Otterbox is known for making cases of all sizes and for many different uses that are airtight, waterproof, and crush proof. I originally became interested in Otterbox when I was looking for cases for my MiniDisc. They were recommended on MiniDisco, an online site that distributes MiniDisc's and accessories. The iPod cases made by Otterbox is waterproof, dustproof, dirtproof, sandproof, and drop-proof. The click wheel has a membrane cover that protects it, but remains fully functional. You can also get some get waterproof headphones which make it possible to take it under water and listen to you music. Its kinda bulky, but I still think its pretty cool and would probably pick one up if I wasn't so damn lazy.

Otterbox also makes cases for cigars, PDA's, tablets and laptops, Zippo's, and GPS's.

Awkwardness

While on our way into Portland we stopped in Gresham for a bite to eat at their Red Robin. It wasn't too late so we decided to make the meal more of a snack, so we ordered some appetizers: Loaded nachos, mozzarella sticks, and the onion rings(healthy, huh?). Like what any respectable and courteous waiter or waitress would do, our waitress came and asked us how our food was.

This is where it got a little tricky.

When she asked about our meal it so happened that I had just before taken a bite of a mozzarella stick and began to stretch the cheesey goodness (perfectly normal, I think). My head was kinda down and I didn't want to shine on her, so I did the best that I could, I answered. I looked up at the waitress, still holding on to my mozzarella stick with the stretched out cheese, and kind of nodded my head and said, "Rewera hood, enks." Wow, I felt like a real dork. I mentally slapped myself in the forehead on that one. My mom and sister waited till after she left to start laughing. I know it wasn't the most understandable statement, but what I intended to say("Really good, thanks.") came from the heart::points to heart:: -and I hope that she knows that.

I'm Back Bitches!!!

I know that you guys have missed me and have had quite a discussion about musac and stuff. I'll have a post tomorrow on what we did and some funny moments. Its so nice to be home and soon in my own bed.

Actually

It doesn't look like I will be attending Wednesday Night Fun Night at Donnie's. I have to go up to Smack-Town(Portland, Oregon) with my mom and sister. We leave at 7am on Thursday. I'm trying at add some more musac to my iPod and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I can listen to a lot of different genres. Please nothing too depressing, and if it's hard to understand-please refrain. Rap, rock, metal, country, hip hop, etc: Are great. Thanks.

I won't be back till late Sunday, so I guess I'll be posting on Monday.

Look forward to a podcast by Adam Machado later tonight. Nothing special, just an introduction and a quick "What's going on in Adam's world." The following casts will be a little more specific, but for now he's just keepin' it real.

Happy Valentine's Day

I love you Mom. I love you bunches and bunches. We all love you. You are the hardest working person that I know. For the 23.91 years you have done anything and everything for us. Sometimes I dont give you hugs, but that doesnt mean that I dont want to and that you wont get two the next morning.

We Have A Winner

The raffle to support my sister and The American Heart Association ended this evening with a very happy winner. We earned about 3,000 putting this raffle on, which means we sold 600 tickets.

Our new project/fund raiser will be a bowl-a-thon. It will be help at the end of this month on the last Saturday of February. Donnie and Amanda have offered to come and help. In order to be able to bowl you have to get people to sponsor you a a bowler. You need at least $50 in pledges to bowl for free. Which means that you can have your parents sponsor you or something. If you can get fifty dollars you can bowl 3 frees games. You don't have to pay for shoes or a lane, and food will be provided. If you can get a few friends together and each have them have at least $50 in sponsors you can have your own team and enjoy some free bowling. You don't even have to be great at bowling, you just need to know have to have fun. All the proceeds will go to help support Medford's Miss Oregon USA 2006 and her trip to Baltimore, Maryland for the Miss USA pageant.

This is a rough draft of what's going on, but if you would like to help out and have some fun just leave a comment or e-mail me at Young_mr_m@hotmail.com.

More information soon.

Fromunda

Today started out pretty nice. I woke around noon, took a nice shower, took my time getting dressed, the whole spiel. My mom needed me to run some errands, so I picked up a coffee and ran errands( I'm an errands person).

It has been pretty nice for the past 5 days or so, and the radio says it wont stay this way for much longer, I decided to get my bug jumped and running. I took the Subaru and got some gas from the gas station, juiced up the beast, got the cables hooked up and then jumped it. After it was all ready(after an hour and a half), I turned the bug off and let it sit then restarted just to make sure it would die on my at the gas station. It did in fact restart. So I drive the Bug around town a little bit and then make my way to the Shell station. After she was all filled up I tried to start her up. "Uh oh." Just my luck, the dub doesn't start. So I used to pay phone and called around, no one answered. So I tied my shoes and started to make my way home( 1.2 miles away, I've checked). After about a half mile I see my brother("Him") on his scooter, so I wave him down and demand a ride home. When I hopped on he said to me, "This is so gay." I replied with, "Want me to scoot closer and hold you harder?" While going up Manor hill, through the golf course, the was a female human being walking down the hill. So let go of drew, used the handle on the back of the seat(meant for the passenger), looked at her and gave the 'What up, yo?' head flick.

When he dropped me off at home I tried to launch myself off the back of the hog instead of throwing one leg over. That decision kind of back fired on me because it turned out I was a little short and nailed my gooch on the handle I previously used hold on to. I almost fell backwards, but I kept my composure because there was Manor resident chuckling at the fact I was riding "bitch" up a hill on a scooter with another male as driver. So, when I hit it, the gooch, my butts natural was to tighten up as if to say, " No one is getting in here!" It still kinda stings.

The End
Hope you enjoyed yourself

Nacho Libre

Flippin' sweet::Napoleon voice::. The directors of Napoleon Dynamite have something marvelous in store for us. NACHOOOOOOOOOO. I can't wait. I loved Napoleon, and this film looks like it will have a similar style(a good thing). If you look closely at the trailer, you can see Jack Black is wearing the same lame styled tee shirts that Uncle Rico wore in Napoleon Dynamite. You can easily see similarities between this and 'Napoleon': Goofy clothing, brain dead sidekicks, blank facial expressions, and awkward pauses.

"Nacho (Jack Black) is a young man who was raised in a Mexican monastery in Oaxaca and now works there as the cook, and takes it upon himself to rescue the holy place from financial ruin by joining a local Lucha Libre tournament and becoming one of the 'Luchadores'. Naturally, Nacho isn't acting out of purely altruistic measures, as he wishes to help Sister Encarnacion (Ana de la Reguera), a beautiful Mexican nun who has recently arrived at the monastery, as well as the gaggle of young orphans who live there."

Thanks A Lot Firefox

For some reason my Firefox went f'ing wacko and I lost all my personal setting. Theme, bookmarks, updates, extensions, plug-ins, the works: Gone. I had a routine and now its messed to shit. I am trying to think up all the sites I had bookmarked, but it has proven to be quite a difficult task. And I would seriously check all of them. I got some back, like my blogroll, mail accounts, some other daily read sites, but there are far more missing then what I have recovered. Errrr.

I beat my sister at Scrabble last night. She is pretty damn smart, and quick on her feet. I don't know I how I did it. I'll post a picture, the game was well spread throughout the board.

Down But Not Out

There has been a lack of post-age on my part, and I know all of you have been real concerned. Our family has been real busy helping my sister with fund raisers so that she can get to Baltimore for the Miss USA pageant. She leaves on the 1st of April, and is in Maryland till about the 23rd or so. That means that she will not be able to work for about 3 weeks, and that means no income. We have been doing a lot of fund raisers so that she will have money to pay rent while she is at the pageant, and also have money to live on while she is there. We have really been pushing hard to get to our goal amount, $10,000. Sounds like a lot, but we are much farther along then we thought we were going to be, and we have only bee raising money in Medford. Next week we are going to start sending letters out to other Oregon based companies asking if they would like to donate. We have had some really good results from local schools and business'. It is actually kind of funny, we have been selling raffle tickets for a Valentines day package for some time now. We went to the Medford and Phoenix/Talent schools districts and asked if their Leadership groups would like to help. We have raised more money from a few Medford schools then the Phoenix and Talent schools our family has gone through. It is really a great feeling getting so much from your local area.

I've also have been hanging out my blogger buddies, the Blog-a Fella. Its been great actually having the gang back together again( Donnie, Amanda, Scott, and myself). I love you bitches. Just joking Amanda, you're not a bitch. Scott, who had just got back a little bit ago, had previously been living out of a hotel in Portland for about 3 weeks training and taking tests for what is hopefully going to be a career. Scott also just got had his freedom festival entitled "Scott-a-Palooza". It was a blast and I hope that he enjoyed it as much as I did, since it was for him and all.

Mt Ashland , I'm Coming For You

I really need to get up to Mt Ashland. I haven't been up there in a while, and before I blow all the cash I won off my dad, I would like to hit the sloped up again. I just looked at my skis recently; there were spider webs accumulating inside of my boots and there's a good amount of dust on the skis themselves. I am pretty desperate, if you cant tell by this picture. I often walk around the house with my stuff on like I'm going up, but I'm not: ( Lame? I think not. If I were a poser acting like some hot-shot up there it would be. But I have been skiing since I've moved to Oregon, 16 years ago. I might be a little fuzzy after a 2 year break, but it comes back rather fast. Does anyone know how the mountain is doing? You can read the snow report, but that tends to usually let me down. I really shouldn't even care what the conditions are, I've only skied that damn mountain when its icy. I think that I have recently only had one good ski day up there, but I spent the entire time trying to switch form icy snow mentality to the power mentality. But that doesn't mean that it wasn't still fun. Despite the typical conditions that Mt Ashland has, and the short amount of time it takes to finish a run, I love it. I have had some really great times there, times I wont forget. Here's to Mt Ashland and to me making it up there before I blow all my hard earned money::wink::.

Fuzzy Memories

I just remembered this in the wee hours of the morn. My track coach's name is Mike Jones. At the beginning of each fall term he likes to have a meeting where everyone introduces themselves and tell what events they would each like to do. At the end tells a little about himself. Oh yea, before I go on, he hates it when people talk out when he is talking. It "gets his goat." Okay, So he proceeds with a greeting' "Hello, I'm Mike Jones..." Me being me, the crafty debonair that I am, continue with "Who?" This is the best part, everyone in the room, well almost everyone says back, "Mike Jones!" He obviously gets pissed, but he cant kick everyone out of the room so he goes on. After he come up to me and says, "Machado, glad to see you haven't lost you sense of humor from last year." "I got nothin' else goin for me Jones," I said with a slight smirk. Then he gets real close and says, "Never talk out in my meetings again." And then he leaves, boom, that's it. F'in memories, God I love fuzzy memories.

Your Welcome World

I went ahead and added a little something to Wikipedia. I was looking at the Moleskine page and noticed a movie that a Moleskine had appeared in but hadn't been mentioned. I added Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo to the list. Oh yea, that was me. Your welcome world.

Now I'm A Steelers Fan

Pay Up, Papason!
-------------------------------------------------------------

So my dad called me up today and wanted to make a little wager on the Super Bowl. For some strange reason he got the impression that I have always been a Steelers fan. Since when? Maybe a Detroit fan, which is where the game is being played, but never a Steelers fan. He said if the Steelers win I'd get $50, and if they lose I just have to clean his apartment. Good deal? YES!

No Brushing For 5 Years?!?

While spending some time with Donnie, Amanda, and Kristine earlier this Week we got on the topic of brushing ones teeth. Obviously it's annoying, but very necessary. Donnie said, " I wish they made something so that I don't have to brush my teeth ever again." Well it looks like your wish has come true Donnie, sort of. The Fluoinex device will, once the kinks are all sorted out, make it possible for you to not have to brush your teeth for five years.

"You should be able power-up your choppers with a quick visit to the dentist- and then it's five years of pure no brushing, no flossing, opening-beers-with-your-teeth heaven."

If that little quote doesn't sell it for you Donnie, I don't know what can. Maybe this will-

"I don't need to sell you this shit, and you know that. This kind of shit sell itself."

Sound Boards

Aren't they fun? J-Kot, aka Kottke, linked a Mario sound board that was pretty sweet. The legendary sounds of Mario and his devastating fireball will never be forgotten. I've used a few sound boards in my day. My brother loves 'em, he also loves prank calling so it works out great. My favorite is the Jack Black sound board. Jack Black is one of my favorite actors "slash" comedians "slash" singer "slash" song writer. I know every remembers King Kong? GENIUS! And who could forget The Jackal? Despite his small roll, he made his statement on the big screen and his presence has been well known ever since The Jackal's premier in 1997. "SPRAWL!"

Odeo

Just got my Odeo up, so look forward to some audio blogging. Is there a strategy to audio blogging? Is it meant to be like text blogs where you pick a subject and put in your two cents? I do understand that audio blogging is suppose to put some personality and emotion with what used to just be an online personality or name (e.g., HACKERATi or Adam Machado.) Or is it meant to be more random, saying what is on your mind and what might pop into your head at that precise moment? I was thinking on using my Moleskine to write things down that I've done that I might wanna talk about. Then I'd weed out topics till I can fit what I want in a 3 minute segment. I do the same with this blog, I find stuff online and mail it to myself or have it mailed to me from the original finder. I guess that I just have to see what works for me, if I feel like having a subject line I will, and if I feel lazy of like I just need to talk, then I'll talk. Either way it seems like fun. I'll probably be hoping on the same boat as Donnie and Jorge where there will be an audio blog made the 15th of every month, we'll see. The only problem is that I don't have a mic at my computer to record with. I feel kinda weird doing it over the phone because I be kin of restricted with it to my ear. I wanna be able to express what I'm thinking the way I'm thinking it. If I cant move around as freely I'll get all bunched up and will be left with a dumpy post I gotta re-record.
