in my opinionation the sun is gonna surely shine...('91-'95)

3. if you're out on the road, feeling lonely and so cold,
(all you have to do is call my name, and i'll be there on the next train.)

you coming to the cookout? what cookout? my nuts on yo grill !!!

answer to previous trivia:

lord of the rings: return of the king
finding nemo

and highest fall survived without a parachute......33,330 ft roughly 6.3 miles. that'll leave a mark.

next we have an all female answer:

what two people have the most academy award nominations?

poker in the front, liquer in the back.....wait

i attend a weekly poker game at a friends apt in midtown. it used to be at max's, but now it's permanently moved to "new place". it used to be a fun evening of smoking, drinking, and playing some cards with 6 or 7 friends. it has now become a cesspool of russians jews, loose women, and loose russian jewish women. i have nothing against any of those kinds of people, but when they turn my poker game into a screaming-at-a-drunk-duchebag-for-4-hours and watching-pyscho-throw-her-beefcurtains-at-anything-with-a-penis night. my patience comes to an end.

on a brighter note, Live in Lady and i went to the brooklyn chinatown for some festive decorations for her class about chinese new years. i got to eat some mayalsian food....delicious. AND ride the bus for the first time. i'm all grows-ed up now. ya know, i thought it would take me a while to get used to ny and all the things that comes with living here. but i really like it....maybe i'll stay for a bit. as long as there are no more loose russian jewish women.

but i did not shoot the trivia

okay that last one was really hard....i shot the sherriff.
tears in heaven only went to #2 and i would like to add that Live In Lady gave me those two pieces of trivia to use. so a big thanks to her.

NEXT up.....ummmmm

Name the 2 movies from '03 that have made it into the top 10 world-wide highest grossing movies of all time.

and for a bonus random trivia: what is the guiness world record "highest fall survived without a parachute"

trivia is the bestest

so the answer for that last one is "hey jude", and now for some thing completely unrelated...

what is eric claptons ONLY #1 hit? (that wasnt completely unrelated, actually it was very related, but i digress)

i like trivia

what beatles hit stayed at number 1 for the longest amount of time?

mo trivia mo problems

so the answer to the last trivia question is santana with his supernatural album. had to use your thinking caps for that one.

next:

8, 5, 4, 9, 1, 7, 6, 10, 3, 2

what's the pattern?

i love those fucking retards

so for the past few weeks ive been teaching home-schooled kids, sub-ing, and training to be a kaplan test prep teacher. i feel like this is probably something i could do as a career. so what im thinking about is starting up a tutoring or home-school business. this is still very early stages, and who knows if i'll ever act on it. but give it some thought. it sounds nice in my brain.....that or fireman. im not sure which.

trivia

what are the 3 highest grossing films of the 90's?

and no cheating cause cheating at blog trivia is about as doucebaggy as it gets.

the ramblings of an old man

so ive been trying to think about what to write down in my blog. funny stories about my cat, the wild adventures i have in my bathroom, or how i followed a thin trail of smoke only to find something unexpected. but none of that stuff ever really happened (except for that last one happened to some freinds of mine). i feel like my blog must be witty and informative, but i am neither witty nor informative. therefore my blog will be about life and love in the new millenium. right now, though, it will be about me gettin too close to 30. lets take a look back into other benchmark years. 15 brought the permit, 16 the camero, and 16.1 the end of the camero. 18 voting, smoking, and college. 21 finally i could drink (but just a coupla shots). and 25 car insurance went down. what now? what does 28 have in store for me? nothing good. i only found out recently that i am no longer eligible for any mtv shows. i can no longer go to the mtv summer beach house. my hopes and dreams....dashed. and i really thought i could have brought an edgey-ness to the "real world", with my rapiers wit and dashing good looks. c'est la vie.

now is the time for new hopes. new dreams. and a burger. for those of you that dont know. ive given up read meat for a year. the reason is that the finace's stomach is a lil too sensitive to the delicious bloodiness. so ive taken a sabbatical of sorts. BUT since today was my birthday, i got to indulge with a canyon burger. mmmmm cow. lover-ly. so i think i will try to post a daily trivia question at about the same time everyday and the first person with the right answer will win my kudos. the chocolate and peanut butter one. it's half eaten. and stale.

my junk hurts

well this is my first post from my very own blog. something which i protested against for a long time and finally caved.... ain't peer pressure a bitch?
