I know this video came out a while ago, but I love it. Maybe it’s my love for Polaroids.

The emos will kill you…………with terrible poetry

Utah ABC station discovers Emo.
What’s really funny about this clip (besides the humor you get when 30-50 year olds try to explain youth (sub)culture) is that some of the videos and “am I emo” type quiz they reference are satire.
I have a tip for TV news stations: Don’t try to explain something by getting your information from the Internets. The Internets are 90% satire, 5% snarky and 5% porn. You just end up looking old, out of touch and an advertiser-fellating fear monger.
Oh, and Utah, this just in, there were musical groups in the 80’s that wore dark clothing, mascara, and wrote depressing lyrics.

This is Tony Unruhs International Flava Homepage
No, this shouldn’t be here anymore. I’m so embarrassed. But, I thought I’d share it with you. Something from my childhood (well, I guess I was 18, so early adulthood).
This really sucks.

Blasting Radiohead’s Let Down (and singing along, LOUDLY) is the BEST way to spend a few minutes on a Saturday Morning (especially at the last few minutes when Thom really gets going).

moleskine
May 11, 2007 · Leave a Comment
I have a lot of moleskines.
Call me pretentious. Call me a hipster (dear god don’t call me that). Fuck, call me a follower, but there is just something about them. It’s not the “supposed” connection to da Vinci or anyone else famous. It’s the texture, the feel of the paper. They’re the perfect size.
I buy them and I buy them. Even though I have plenty at home, unused, I still buy more.
My wife leaves me little notes (usually somewhere in the middle). Small things that make my day when I find them. Sometimes it takes me a while to find them, but when I do it never fails to touch me.

Things to do when bored

Go down in your basement and find your yearbooks (the ones from college will do, but if you have ones from junior high or high school, those are the best).
Hopefully you will have a lot of signatures and saying in the front and back covers (this is why I mentioned the HS and JH being the best because the writing is funnier).
I was in the basement about 5 minutes ago (trying to figure out if I knew someone that I found on myspace) and I got into reading my old JH yearbooks. How innocent it all sounded. I just hope I stayed sweet (every girl told me too). Plus there were lots of inside jokes that I STILL remembered. All this time.

Jott.com is funny
May 2, 2007 · 1 Comment
I’ve been using Jott for the past couple of months. It’s a great service that allows you to leave messages to yourself. True, you can do this with your own voicemail system but Jott does something different. After you sign up for Jott they give you an 800 number to call. When you call and leave a message for yourself (or someone else) Jott will transcribe the message and email a copy to you.
I was on my way to work today and the morning show I listen to was talking about a letter to Dr. Laura Schlessinger about homosexuality. I knew about the letter and always thought it was an urban myth. I called Jott to remind myself to “Look up Dr. Laura letter on Snopes.com.”
Here is what Jott sent to me: “Wake up the law of [speech unclear, please listen] letter on smoke.com”
Most of the time Jott works great, not this time.
