oh, robert

This may be the weirdest one yet...

diet energy drink comparison

Diet Rock Star - tastes like my Nanny Kay's perfume
Diet Rock Star "Juiced Zero Carbs" - tastes like a cranberry / grape carpet freshener
Tab Energy Drink - tastes like a fruity bowl cleaner (i drink bowl cleaner from time to time)
Sobe Low Carb - tastes like strawberry flavored cough syrup
Mt. Dew MDX - tastes like pop...just expensive green pop
Diet Red Bull - like concentrated strawberry acid designed to burn off Matt Santone's lips


My pick - Diet Rock Star "Juiced Zero Carb".

renovate

We just started a new series titled "renovate" and we had a little fun with the stage. The base of the series is Romans 12:2 & 3...renewing your mind. Josh has some photos of us driving the Gator onto the stage... so start bugging him for them... He may even have some video because he was hoping we'd break through the stage.

His exact words were "I can make some money off this thing..." The McDonald's trash was Santone's idea...nice touch.

forget the iphone...

I've gotta get my hands on one of these...

it's all pretty embarassing

Fox recorded amazing numbers from their 2 night premiere of American Idol this week. 35 million viewers one night and 38 million the next. What has this done to our society?

1. Glenn Beck spent his entire radio show today talking about how parents shouldn't send their kids to audition. It will hurt their fragile pride.

2. ABC, CBS and NBC all spent the past few days re-arranging their existing lineups on Tues & Wed to accomodate the ratings drop. Because if 38 million people are watching American Idol...there is almost no one left to watch Shark.

3. It's made me angry that I can't get that kid with the juggling sticks out of my head. He cried that he wanted to become a star...and he is. Just not how he thought it would work out.

they're at it again...

Anchorman, Talladega Nights, and now...Blades of Glory. Don't get me wrong...I love movies more than most, but I wonder when we'll get something new. There's nothing completely fresh out there anymore at the movies. Yes, box office revenue was up by almost 2% last year... but at what cost?

I may be the only one, but I'm getting tired of the same Will Ferrell movies every year.

losing it

Actually, I take that back. It's lost... Quentin Tarantino has lost his mind.

everest part 2

I watched the series again. That's 2.5 times I've watched the entire series. I deleted it and recorded it over again...like an addict. I feel like I know the mountain now...

I will climb mt. everest and here's why:

1. Because I like cold. I'm most comfortable when the temp is in the 60's.
2. I have some of those hand warmers in my snowboard coat.
3. Those spikes on the boots would be awesome in a fight.
4. The word "sherpa" is fun to say.
5. My lips don't chap very easily. I can go without chapstick for a long time.
6. I've climbed the Sandia mountain range 7 times in Albq. NM and it's 10,678 ft high. (no lie)
7. I'm OK with living in tents. I went camping a lot as a teenager.
8. Yak's carry the majority of your stuff up to Base Camp and "yak" is 2nd only to the word sherpa.

unworthy

Each of these thoughts are unworthy of an entire post... But together, they make sweet music.

1. When Prince got stuck in traffic last night at the Golden Globes, he wasn't there to accept his award. There was an awkward 30 seconds of nothing, as Justin Timberlake, the producers, the camera crew and announcers didn't know what to do. It just goes to show that no matter how much money, practice and good intentions you have...we all make mistakes.

2. Jack Bauer is back, and Sunday night he bit a man's neck out.

3. Laser Cats 2 is almost as good as the first one.

4. The new way to say someone screwed up...is "man, you really Schruted that one".

4. When you play pickup basketball.....

5. DVR has ruined and saved my life.

Must See TV

If you haven't watched the Discovery Channel's Everest:Beyond the Limit... Get on your TiVo and get to recording. It's a 6 part mini-series that follows a team of climbers to the summit and it's amazing. So much in fact that I've watched it twice and both times I've yelled at the TV. For some reason, this show has made me want to climb that mountain and I've tricked myself into thinking I could.

Seriously.

I could climb Mt. Everest.

mohaa:first run

Santone, Joe, Ratcliffe and I all participated in our first run at Medal of Honor Wednesday Nights. It worked pretty nice, except that Josh is a sniping maniac and pretty much owned us.

We'll probably have things up and running in a week or so... Details coming soon.

87.7

There's a phenomenon down here on the radio and it's 87.7 FM. It happens to be ABC television on the radio and I'm hooked. All my drive times are centered around what's on the radio / tv at what time.

During my drive time between 1:00PM and 4:00PM are soaps. Those things are addicting. I'm not sure, but I think Rachel will soon find out that Spencer is the one who stole her baby and wound up putting Ethan in the hospital. Once he gets out of the coma, he'll find out that Damien is actually his sister.

During my drive time between 4:00PM and 5:00PM is Maury. That's the filthiest television show I've ever listened to. Today it was about a 33 year old 500lb man who is dating a 120lb 86 year old woman. They're in love.

In the mornings I listen to the news and GMA.

In the late evenings, I get Lost. Literally.

I love watching television on the radio.

O-H......N-O

As I drove in to work today, past the burning rubble and overturned cars... The city of Columbus smoldered on the horizon. Women and children roamed the streets in search of food and occasionally a few people would scrape on my windows as I drove past. Police are nowhere to be seen and crime runs rampant in the streets... Looting and theft are prevalent as most businesses lay in ruin.

It seems like only yesterday, the once mighty OSU Buckeyes were ranked number one and sat on top of the world. Today, however...is a new day. A dark cloud hangs over the city of Columbus today. As a city mourns and weeps over what could have been, it's heroes and Heisman winners are nowhere to be found. Someday this will all pass and the city will rise from the ashes like the mighty phoenix to the greatness of olden days... But not today.

None of this really happened. But I'm hoping to see some street fights or something.

on my list of things to do...

1. Call NBC, ABC, CBS & FOX and ask them to stop making game shows with washed up B-List actors.

2. Call Hollywood and ask them to stop making "unrated" versions of their already line-pushing movies just to intice frat boy viewers.

3. In 2007 I will go see SNL in person.

4. Ask AT&T why every 12 seconds, someone comes back to them? Why are that many people leaving?

5. Buy fire-proof clothing in case OSU loses tonight and they burn Columbus to the ground.
