"His
(Paul Revere) famous "Midnight Ride" occurred on the night of April 18-19 1775, when he and William Dawes were chosen by Dr. Joseph Warren to ride inland from Charlestown to warn the militias at Lexington and Concord of the approach of British army troops from Boston."
In Honor of 231st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride, I ponder this.
If the internet along with myspace existed in 1775, Paul Revere's midnight ride would have been cake.
Instead of jumping on his horse, riding into other hoods and then proceeding to yell, "The British are coming!" (actually according to wikipedia he yelled "The regulars are out!" makes me think of lost), he could have just jumped on to the internet.
Its midnight - Paul Revere checks his google RSS reader - his Reuters feed has a new article titled, "Redcoats halfway to America; planning to shut it down."
He opens a new tabbed window and signs-in, myspace. Patriot PREVE is logged in. He is disappointed he has no new comments or messages, but he knows he has more important things to worry about.

Its only 12:06 AM, he has the rest of the night to smack that wooden wheel down the street.

I was looking for graffiti prints and photos on the google, and the flickr, and what not; and I came across this guy,
Banksy. He is a graffiti artist, from the UK, with a lot of nice work. Here's a handful of pictures of his work from flickr.
Enjoy.

Let's talk about spandex tights, white tube socks, over-size shirts, and white sneakers. This said ensemble, in my years of observation, seems to be the official uniform for 49.9% of fat woman. Me being a male I know nothing about being a fat woman, but I do know that spandex does not conceal fat or look good, especially when those spandex pants are tucked into white tube socks. This look might have worked as a workout outfit in the 80's, but it no longer works today, whether it be workingout, hanging at home, or more importantly at WORK.
Walking into work this morning (I will remind you I do not work for the government but I work in a government building, which means I am exposed to government workers) I saw two women talking - One woman was wearing a nice work-suit, and the other woman was wearing a nice workout suit, from the 80's. Now, both of these woman, although over-weight they were not extremely obese, I've seen worse, a lot worse.
When the one woman was getting dressed this morning, when the woman was putting on her super stretch pants, tucking them into her crispy white tube socks, then topping the outfit off with white keds and a giant t-shirt - did she really think she looked good?
Maybe I'm the fool, maybe she has a time machine and she gets dressed at a early 80's gym every morning. Or maybe she is the fool and she should get her shop on at her local lane bryant.

On Friday afternoon my mom handed my fiancee and I a box. Inside the box was
this, a kickass - Zevro Easy Morning Dual Dry Food Dispenser. Yeah, that is right, DUAL. Two at a time, Cap'n Crunch Crunch Berries and Cocoa Puffs. Do you know why my mom purchased this fine magic kitchen device? Because of
this - my very own, male oriented, personally picked Wedding Registry. If everything goes according to plan, and as of right now it appears it might, I will have the best wedding gifts ever. For real. On the real.
