Ring My Bell

Here is the damage to my HJC mx helmet from the head first fall I had. What you can’t see in the picture is a crack. Sadly, the helmet is trashed. Guess it doesn’t really matter as I don’t plan on riding anytime soon.

Most Randumb stuff

Can you tell how much work I have got done today?

What’s It Gonna Be?

If you haven’t guessed by now, I spend a lot of time on YouTube and Funnyordie.com. I can’t get enough of these sites and finding hilarious stuff people come up with. I want to share something with you I came across a few months back. I find myself going back to it every now and then just to chuckle.

This video features Dr. Ken who played the hilarious Asian doctor in Knocked Up. If you haven’t seen his outtake from the movie you’re missing out on the best part of the movie. Anyway, Dr. Ken teamed up with Mike O’Connell to make this awesome music video.

Just so you don’t miss out on more Dr. Ken awesomeness here is the outtake from Knocked up.

Grunge

I never got into the “grunge” music of the early 90’s. I was in my transition from Milli Vanilli to Metal. So I devoted all my time to Metallica and Pantera. Anything outside of metal was absolute crap. I refused to listen to the Nirvanas and the Alice in Chains of the world. I told myself “It’s just trendy BS for the masses and it would soon go away”. Even today I tend to fight the trendy stuff, I just have a harder time trying to do it. I like the Justin Timberlakes and Timbalands out there. I just have to draw the line on Fergie and any American Idolist.

In the past couple of years I have been on the search for good music. I’m finding the stuff I listen to gets kind of old…real quick. So I have reached all the back to the 60’s, 70’s, and 90’s (I didn’t even mention the 80’s. I love any music that has a keytar). When I got to the 90’s I gave Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains a listen. Wow! I totally missed out on this great music. Alice in Chains completely blows me away, even more so after reading about Layne Stanley. I really dig this version of Nutshell from their Unplugged session.

So I wonder, in 10-15 years will I be looking back really digging on Fergie and her humps? I seriously hope not.

Is there any new band/performer out today that will stand the test of time? I can’t think of any. But I’m wrong 79% of the time.

Btw, I still think Nirvana is the most overrated band out there. Same goes for Soundgarden.

It Can’t Rain Everyday

I was listening to a bunch of songs trying to find something for an idea I have. I came across this P.O.D. song called ‘It Can’t Rain Everyday’. I was blown away because they don’t say the band name or mention Zion in the song. Aside from that, the song is actually pretty good. It also fits with the idea I’m running with right now.

Check out the song.

This little one tries as hard as she can
Do anything just so she could fit in
She wants a friend so bad she’ll do whatever they tell her
To make them smile she would misbehave
But all the while they would laugh in her face
She begins to cry because she thought that they liked her

Even though you feel all alone
It can’t rain everyday
It don’t rain forever
Your sunshine may be gone but i know
It can’t rain everyday
It don’t rain forever

He works hard everyday of his life
For his son on the way and his beautiful wife
But today he got a call from his job they got something to tell him.
They laid him off now he’s out on the streets
He’s got to do what it takes so his family can eat
He can’t even look at his wife because he feels like he failed them

[chorus]

Reign down! reign down! reign down! so let it reign down!
Reign down! reign down! reign down on me now!

A young lady’s been lost for awhile
But that’s ok now she’s having a child
She finally got what she wants. she’s got someone who loves her
But this morning she woke up in pain.
Nobody had to tell her because she knew right away
So she started to cry because she won’t be a mother.

[chorus]

Reign down! reign down! reign down! reign down on me!
Reign down! reign down! reign down!

The lyrics are pretty simple and the music isn’t complicated. But it pretty much kicks ass. Good Stuff.
