K!

I will be the first to admit, that I fly off the handle very easily. I get grumpy and act like a toddler. It's usually when I am tired or hungover, or both.

My wife gets to see it daily, especially when we watch TV. I have a comment for everything - mostly very mean things that I would never repeat in front of people I didn't know.

One thing that really gets under my skin is the usage of "K" to replace "OK". Now, I "get" why people use LOL, or BRB, or :-). I understand that when something is funny, people want to put LOL instead of "gee Ryan, that was pretty darn funny!" But how many times are people actually laughing when they put it? I think a more appropriate term would be SOL = smiling out loud. 9 times out of 10 you are just smiling, because it is pretty frigen weird if you are laughing all those times.

OK (pun intended), back to my main point. Who started K? When did we become this lazy that we shorten a 2 letter term to 1 letter? And can it also be argued that OK stems from Okay? I think we all know where this is headed. Pretty soon the K is going to be replaced with a k..............then someday replaced by nothing? A half of a k?

I hate the K, unless it is when my fantasy stud pitcher Tim Lincecum is throwing. Then I love me 10 Ks that day.

I love my Ipod

My Ipod Nano with 8GB was stolen. It was my first Ipod I owned, and I had won it while workiing at Monster.com. I thought having 2000 songs was a lot.

So since some junkie in Southie has probably traded that Ipod in for some black tar heroin, I decided to get a new one. Well, "refurbished", which I am a big fan of. I got the Ipod Classic with 120GB. It holds up to 30,000 songs, and I think I can get there, with a little help from The Pirate Bay and Bearshare. It is really nice to be able to download every album by Pearl Jam, Gun N Roses, and Michael Jackson. I now am up to 6500 songs and climbing.

I have a very random taste in music - on the way in I had it on shuffle and heard The Doors, Taylor Swift, Sublime, Beastie Boys, 311, Air Supply, and then the King of Pop. I hadnt heard this tune in a while, but it is great. And then got me thinking how many good songs MJ has - everyone knows Thriller - but what about Black or White, Bad, The Way You Make Me Feel, Man in the Mirror, etc.

So I came into work and watched the video - and forgot Eddie Murphy is in it too.

She wants me

I didn't know Steve Martin had an album until American Idol told me. I actually didn't think Steve Martin had done anything since Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.

This tune is awesome. Dolly Parton and Vince Gill sing the original, but I actually think this is better. Why? Well I know Dolly Parton has huge boobs and all, and I have known this since I was 4. But Megan Joy brings joy to me - and by me, I mean in my pants.

Seriously though, Megan Joy has an unusual singing voice/style. But this songs seems made for her. And she looks very sexy singing it.

Next time I should get up there instead of this dump. I wouldn't sing though. Maybe just grind Megan, or something cool.
