That clown on the left is pure evil.
This chick in my office is the spitting image of the baroness. Glasses and tight black, not leather but it gives me a good enough image.
that's awesome, make sure she doesn't notice your boner
GOOD THING I WAS SITTING DOWN
good thing indeed!
She heard he got an island! She plans on swiping it out from under him for their evil base of operations!
As long as I can swipe something in from under her.
GET IT

SHIT I lost.
Coffee is so good. I can't believe people get to use this shit in daily life. I am bored and tired, one cup, and am fucked up, and doing useful shit. Incredible. I love uppers.
Pretty much.
When you're as awesome as I am you need downers to bring you down to a normal level.
That's pretty much what pops into my head any time I happen to smell that stuff.
how often do you smell cocaine?
It's the number one reason east coast TNLers are broke.
Design teacher asked me to help him layout some books he's working on (and he offered pay me a little!). Of course, whether this actually happens is up in the air. But it's a good feeling!
Oh yeah, and I'm up for a journalism award. Either way, I'm a finalist.
My morning meeting included mimosas. It's 10:30 a.m. and I'm pretty damn buzzed.
It must be nice working for Cosmo.
Life is good because of raspberries.

I appreciate that. Those look delicious.
Raspberries in my cereal, raspberries in my ice cream, raspberries in my ultimate peanut butter jelly sandwiches!
And raspberries in my martini.
I like to put my Raspberries in your mother
If you're a slow, timid, incompetent driver, you better stay off the road. ANOTHER BIT OF GREAT NEWS!!! The caveat, however, is that new driver training will need to be implemented if people are going to drive at higher speeds.
Remember, it's the SLOW driver that causes traffic congestion. I've also argued that the speed "limits" we have in place are laughable. Increasing the rate of speed is pretty much the only way you'll increase the flow of traffic without spending billions on highway construction.
Maybe someone has been listening to/reading my rants on traffic? Hallelujah:tu:
Quote:
Left to their own devices, American drivers confronted with an open stretch of interstate highway tend to drive at about 70 miles per hour—whatever the legal speed limit happens to be.
That's the finding of an analysis of speed data gathered by TomTom Inc., a marketer of GPS navigation devices. This helps to explain why safety advocates and conservationists are losing the long-running debate over lowering freeway speed limits.
The Virginia legislature last week passed legislation raising the speed limit on rural interstate highways to 70 mph from 65 mph. The state's new Republican governor, Bob McDonnell, put boosting the legal speed limit high on his list of priorities, and got action less than three months after taking office.
Virginia will become the 34th state to boost interstate speed limits to 70 mph or higher. In big, empty states such as New Mexico, Idaho and Nevada, posted limits on rural interstates can be as high as 75 mph.
TomTom collected speed data from 45 states and the District of Columbia, under agreements with customers who agreed to allow the company to collect the information anonymously to improve the quality of its route guidance by directing customers away from congested roads at peak travel times.
The TomTom data suggest that most drivers tend to stay within a few miles per hour of the speed limit on major roads. In 31 out of the 46 jurisdictions, average freeway speeds ranged between 65 and 70.1 mph.
TomTom found the fastest drivers, on average, in Mississippi, where interstate drivers average 70.1 mph, or a hair over the maximum posted limit. The company doesn't have speed data from some sparsely populated states, including Montana, where drivers may be moving faster than those in Mississippi, says Nhai Cao, senior product manager for TomTom's SpeedProfiles database.
Virginia drivers clock in at a law-abiding 65 mph. The slowest drivers—drumroll, please—are in Washington, D.C. Freeway traffic in the nation's congested capital crawls at an average of 46.4 mph, according to TomTom's data. That may explain the eagerness of Virginia residents who work inside the Beltway for the freedom to go faster when they finally see some open road.
Hawaii is the slowest state, with highway drivers traveling at an average 52.7 mph.
Speed limits and enforcement have taken a symbolic significance that transcends vehicle mechanics or highway design.
The 55 mph national speed limit enacted in 1973 in response to the first Arab oil embargo was justified as a means of conserving fuel. In 1987, the law was changed to allow speeds up to 65 mph. But the Republican Congress elected in 1994 did few things more popular than repealing the limit altogether in 1995.
Driving speed has become a proxy for bigger questions about personal freedom versus government control.
The argument for raising speed limits is fundamentally an argument for letting drivers use their own judgment. The argument for stronger speed control is that too many people behave badly behind the wheel.
Insurers and other safety advocates, including groups such as the Governors Highway Safety Association, have consistently called for motorists to slow down, and for state and local authorities to get tougher on speeding enforcement.
"Higher speeds are bad on any road," says Anne McCartt, vice president of research for the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, a research arm of the insurance industry.
The Federal Highway Administration estimates that in 2008, about 31% of the total 37,261 highway fatalities were related to speeding over posted limits.
But advocates of relaxing speed limits point to federal statistics which show that both fatalities and fatality rates on U.S. highways are declining even as speed limits rise. The U.S. Department of Transportation last week reported that its latest estimate of highway deaths in 2009 is 33,963—the lowest number since the government began keeping these grim records in 1954. The fatality rate is estimated at 1.16 deaths per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.
Modern cars and light trucks have an average of 225 horsepower under the hood and sophisticated safety systems such as traction control. They are designed to cruise comfortably, safely and efficiently at between 65 and 70 mph—if not faster, particularly in the case of the autobahn-burners German luxury brands sell.
If gas prices spike again this summer, as some predict, the idea of dropping speed limits again may get a new hearing. But Virginia's decision and the powerful cars consumers are buying suggest otherwise.
Jon: dude oh my god did you get my text? it's pretty important

That shit happens in every city, Josh. You aren't a snowflake.
No shit, Cabron.
CHOCOLATE SHAKE SON! I was in post Fun Brigade practice mode.
Speaking of the Fun Brigade... we got billed as "Minor Threat" on the flyer for our show (in DC nonetheless) this Friday. This has the potential to make a lot of people very angry.
That's a possibility. I'm going to fuck around on the guitar and see if I can't write a new song or riff.
Do it. I sure can't come up with anything these days.
protip: its because I stopped smoking pot.
I went to a friend's house, had some drinks and spent a few hours singing folk songs with Finch and company. Damn good night.
probably oughta smoke some weed, nigga.
The firing came two days after women's coach Phyllis Mangina resigned after 25 years

Firestarter Records is distributing an extremely short run of the Quarantines 7". This one DOES NOT come with the free mp3 download... but if you pick one up get in touch with me and I'll email you the mp3s. These ones are on greyish/brownish mixed vinyl and limited to 50 copies. There is a mixed black/purpleish vinyl (also limited to 50) coming out on Insubordination Records later this month.
worked a double shift today (yay for munnies) I talked to some of the higher ups at work today about being unhappy with the low amount of hours I am getting, so I suggested working in other work centers. they told me I can get trained to do electronics, which makes me happy :)
money problems are being solved...for now at least
Had two cadbury eggs today.

:lol:
Got stoned with my folks today. Life is rad.
Man, I feel awkward every time I have a beer at my mom's house. I can't imagine doing that.
Everybody else just feels awkward when she _________?
Become friends with your folks, it's a neat thing you can do when you become an adult!
It's Zombie Day!

Dude that was fuckin' cool.
I just went on a great bike ride - run - bike ride, where it began pouring right as I parked my bicycle. It was good because I didn't get struck by lightning or a car (and running in the rain is always really invigorating). I am now drinking a cup of hot tea and feel great.
My sister was diagnosed as a manic. I put this in the life is good thread because I always had a suspicion that I had some meager form of that as well, and this goes a good deal to confirming that suspicion. It is always nice to understand why you do some things differently then others.
Which sister?
Also, why aren't you in NYC yet?
Finished all training and start actual calls this coming week. It's good cuz I have a job. Not sure I'm gunna be any good at it though. 4 weeks of information is making my brain hurt.
I like half.com. i just leave shit on it, and people buy it. A lot less work than stupid ebay.
Wisdom tooth extraction has proven to not be too bad and while tomorrow is supposed to be the peak in pain, I have relatively little. The left side of my mouth is pain free for the first time in nearly a month despite the gaping holes where the teeth used to be.
Our 7" is finally available on Insubordination Records! Go buy one!
spam.
Still sitting next to me on my desk. I still have to come up with dollars to print your covers. These are unemployed times. I don't even buy beer anymore!
Jesus! That sounds like a bad scene.
I have at least 3 sweet shows to go to this week and, if I swing it right, I'm not paying for any of them!
Had a rad fucking time at PAX, saw a good freezepop show, came home and settled on my house.
Life is kick ass at the moment.
I am home at last, no longer tormented with mangina (aka mengitis). Still have 2 more days of antibiotics, which you will all love to know, consists of me taking 2mg's of antibiotics shot right in the ass. Does feel great to be home and out of the hospital though. Hope I can put all this behind me real soon.
Finally started on the floors yesterday, I was really friggin nervous, but things went well and I made a sale and went 1 for 16, which isn't good per say, but I made a sale so I was happy. Day 2 starts in a little over an hour, and the nervousness is gone, which makes me very happy.
Headed to Maryland next week to visit family. Also going to go to New York for a day. Never been, should be fun!
Stay out of my city.
I took over New York City when I moved here.
Oh okay just getting to the bottom of things. People expect the tough questions from me around here.
In on the 7th, out on the 13th.

You should treat yourself and stay a night at the North Ave Motel!
Fun Brigade at the Sidebar April 10th... just saying.
Josh, are you playing up here or not? If Destin moves up to New York City I won't really be able to go to Baltimore anymore.
Ramon, are you booking us a show up there or not?
