Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same

(play this while reading this entry)

it's crazy to think that i started this blog in 2006. five long years ago. so much has happened since then, and i'm not the same person. i'm older, wiser, happier, and possibly douchey-er, but that is neither here nor there. i'm going to open a new chapter of my life, and that doesn't include this blog.

so, after much consternation (about 2 mins.) and gnashing of teeth (while i was eating an egg-roll), i have made a decision. this is it folks/my one reader. the time has come to say goodbye. thank you for taking the time to read my silly little bit of the internet. i can honestly say that i loved creating this blog for yall (and for myself). writing the good times, the bad, we laughed, we cried, we loved until our last goodbye. but all mediocre and slightly interesting things must come to an end.

so i leave you with two things, one of my favorite poems (about the kinds of friends that i surround myself with) and one of my favorite songs (one of the best goodbye songs ever and my favorite country song).

there are certain kinds of friends

who can so easily discuss all things,

who feel so utterly comfortable with each other,

see one another's inner soul

and keep faith when things go wrong.

for friends like these,

the length of time

they've been together

is unimportant in determining

how well they

know one another,

and distance means nothing,

for true friendship has

no boundaries.

if we should ever grow apart

in time or distance -

today, tomorrow,

or in the days ahead -

our friendship will still

be embedded

in my mind,

my heart,

and my soul.

regardless of where you are,

know that you have a friend

in me...

forever

goodbye, everyone. godspeed.

yo korean luva,

ps- i'm starting another secret one. teehehe.
pps - if you're still coming here and can't find the other blog.....here it is: click for awesome

now its time for a break time

ktl is taking a break. check back with me later for more exciting adventures and shenanigans to bring to you people.

and by "exciting", i mean boring, and by "you people" i mean my one reader.

can you spot the sample?

can you tell what fairly modern day song samples this one? (stolen from reddit)

internet sensation and awful awful song

seriously one of the worst songs ever, but hilariously awesome.

listen to the whole song and lose the majority of your brain cells..you have been warned. and while this video is sucking out your soul, please check out her blonde friend's "dance" at 1:15

hmmm, this will be interesting

jack daniels honey whiskey CLICK!

i'm not a huge fan of sweet liquors, except for maybe patron xo. but i'll definitely give this guy a whirl.

whew been a while

last week was crazy busy at work and i've been sick this weekend.
not a great excuse but that's all you get.

here are some great pics of the st paddy's day celebration at aces.
fun was had by all, adult beverages were drunk, and good food was ate

the progression of me through the night:

chillin



feelin good



whoa...scary



calmed down a bit



straight ballin



other things that happened:


free corned beef and cabbage



cvd bought a ginormous crossword puzzle book and got a free high life tshirt that should have been mine (those are not related)



i might have had a few of these.




all in all. a great st paddy's day. gooo green!

seriously awesome

Entire movies compressed into visual "barcodes" showing their scene-to-scene color palettes. i want to cover my house in these things.


kill bill 2


so amazing! click it!

these remind me a lot of my favorite art form. abstract impressionism. kinda like pollack and kandinsky. but with the symmetry of mondrian.

british people are funny

football as nature

crawfish boil

so aces had a cajun crawfish boil last weekend with some free red beans and rice. here's what happened:

my free red beans and rice (couple bowls of this):



mmmmmm: crawfish, potatoes, whole garlic, lemons, onions...all spicy



sucking the juice outta the head....heh, dirty



the aftermath



delicious...

wtf

ridiculous. i am now questioning reality.

saw this on reddit

thought it was hilarious...




reminds me a lot of this scene from pulp fiction:
"yeah, but bacon tastes good, pork chops taste good"
some NSFW language (but you should know that cause it's pulp fiction)

cheat day food

after a long break, i'm back. work is gettin in the way of my blogging, but don't worry, it won't happen again.

the next few posts will probably be food related, but what else is new. here was my cheat day a few weekends ago:


vortex: coronary bypass - half pound sirloin, fried egg, 3 pieces of cheese, 4 slices of bacon, and mayo on the side.



tots and a soft pretzel spiral for sides

my roommate dinner...lazy style

i was up for roommate dinner. i was feeling pretty lazy so i made nachos and potato skins.

nachos: bbq pulled pork, grilled onions, fresh red onions, pecerino romano shredded cheese, pickled jalapenos, and sour cream.

potato skins: chirizo, sour cream, shredded pepper jack cheese


nachos came out pretty good 3.5/5.
the potato skins, not so much. 2/5 (not crispy enough)

musical review: bring it on: the musical

so a friend gave us tickets to go see bring it on: the musical. and maybe because i love all 5 of the films (possibly not number two), that i might be coming at this with a slight bias.

it was friggin awesome. great story, great dialogue, great cheerleading. even the production was outta this world. they had these awesome moveable videoscreens for background, and a wall of synch-ed up led lights. if it's still in atlanta, go see this! 5/5.

trouble with a capital "t" and that rhymes with "p" and that stands for pool!

so me and cvd play in a pool league every week. sometimes it goes waaay too long, but mostly it's a fun time. and mostly i like hanging out with our team. we're a motly crew, but we get the job done.

jumpy, he's crazy good



split beard (cause when he shoots the cue makes his beard splist down the middle)
also crazy good at pool



dr. dre, just crazy at pool



not featured, our fearless leader MA, cvd, and the cable guy. but i'll post em up at some point.

teachers suck

seriously, who in their right mind think teachers are a greedy underworked part of society? ugh, sometimes i hate people.

open-faced french bread blt...mmm mmm mmmmmmm

this was a roommate dinner from a while back, but too good to go unposted. cvd whipped these up and they were fan-effing-tastic.

french toast, thick cut bacon, tomamto, arugula, and a roasted garlic vinaigrette.


there was also an amuse bouche of the same thing, but with a quail egg poached on top, that pic will be posted at a later time.

trivia friday!

so me and cvd play trivia a few times a week. i will start bringing you fine people the questions that i/we missed:

(answers in the comments)
so these are the ones that i missed while i played in the pool league on tuesday:
1. what is the most populous city in new zealand?
2. what nba player has the nickname "the vanilla gorilla"?
3. who is the youngest driver to win the daytona 500?
4. what province is ottawa in?
5. from 1913 to 1930 the skyscraper at 232 broadway st was world's tallest building, what retail giant was it named after?
6. name the 5 countries with the most land borders
7. name the last 10 best picture winners with a one word title ("the" counts as a word)

obviously i did not do very well. but i did kick ass at pool, so i got that going for me....which is nice.


these are the ones me and cvd missed at aces on thursday:
8. what shakespeare character said "friends, romans, countrymen, lend me your ears"?
9. what were the names of the two budweiser lizards from their ad campaign?
10. oliver north ran for us senator from what US state?

and of course, we won, regaining our rightful crown, also snapping our 3 week non-winning streak. stay tuned, i might put up a special trivia up later tonight.

i wouldn't make fun of band people, if they did stuff like this more often
