Newport, Oregon

I feel privileged to say that I spent a day on the beautiful Oregon coast in the town of Newport. I must say that I always thought the ocean was the ocean and beaches were beaches, but thats the California ocean. You see in California you go to the beach and its just a bunch of kids running around and it smells like shit. Thats not the case with Newport, Oregon. In Newport you don't see kids running around everywhere. Plus the water is too cold for them and extremely violent as compared to the slow gentle waves of the California coast.

I start taking pictures when all of a sudden my camera decided to tell me that its out of memory. A 4GB card full, had I not have purchased my laptop only a day before the trip, I would have been in quite a pickle. Do I try and find a place that sells memory cards and fork out the money for a new one? Or do I go through my pictures and decided which ones are worth deleting? I mean If I took them then they surely are there for a reason, luckily all I had to do was walk back to the car and upload everything off the camera onto my laptop, then head back out to the edge of the U.S.

Newport is one of those towns that make you wish you had a place there, just to get away from it all once in a while. Just sit out on the beach and forget about everything. The beach is lined with motels, and hotels but nothing stands out like the old beach houses overlooking the water. Physically they are beat, but aesthetically they are pleasant.

I spent a good 2 hours out there, doing nothing in particular. I wish I had time to surf as its been so long, but the waves out there were probably a bit more than I can handle. Unfortunately time went by fast and before I knew it it was time to go. I took over 200 pictures and a few movies, and wish I could have taken more.

Laptop

So for some reason I have been without a computer for about 8 months now. Ill be the first one to tell you that this is a hard task to accomplish in 2007 almost 2008. Finally last weekend I bit the bullet and went out and spent a whopping $1,000.00 on a brand new HP laptop. I take the laptop home and open it up only to notice that the left click button is off of the laptop, so I put it back on. Then I notice that one of the little rubber protector things is off (you know the little shitty things they put on so the screen doesn't hit the body too hard when you close it). So I put that back in, mind you in took about 2 hours, those things are not made to be easy to put in! All is well I'm thinking, I start screwing around with my laptop, trying to get stupid Vista off when all of a sudden the computer shuts off on me. Upon investigation I notice that the battery has come out of its bay. Then after more careful investigation I notice that the battery doesn't even lock into place properly.

So I drive all the way back to Best Buy, this isn't like Vegas or Reno where Best Buy is just around the corner, in Portland its a good 30 minute drive to the nearest Best Buy. I get there and after about 20minutes of waiting for "Geek Squad" to look over my laptop they say that its ok for the customer service people to give me a new laptop. So I finally have a computer and so far aside from the problems with the first one I'm pretty happy with it. Plus it has these sweet looking designs on it that make it a "Special Edition" piece of art. Hopefully I don't start seeing everyone with one of these from here on out as I would be extremely pissed. "Special Edition" should mean that there is a limited amount released and that there is something fairly special about them. Which in this case, the fact that its at the $1,0000.00 price range and having 2GB of ram and a 250GB hard drive is quite special in and of it's self. Other than that theres not to many special features about it as far as physical specs go. Aesthetically it is rather "special". Anyways I now have a computer and best of all since I bought it in Oregon...there was no sales tax, so even though it was on sale for $100 off, for me it was like it was $173.75 off (7.375% sales tax in Nevada $1000.00 x 7.375% = $73.75 tax + $100.00 manufactures instant rebate = $173.75 off). Anyways, check it out and tell me what you think.

Toothing?

Last night I came across this new phenomenon called "toothing". I don't know if this should really supprise me or not but it kinda does. So what is "toothing" exactly? Toothing occurs when an individual uses his/her bluetooth phone to converse with other individuals. Now the thing that makes this interesting is that people go out to clubs or bars and sit there and "tooth" back and forth. It's become an actual activity to do so, people go out with the intention of doing this. The part that really gets me is the whole purpose of this is sex. Yes sex. Sure everything these days is about sex but people who tooth are looking for a one night stand.

Heres how it works:
1. You go to a club, find a girl to tooth with with a sexy handle like "tuttifrutti" or "sexygal365", you message her with the official toothing conversation starter, "You toothing?"
2. If she answers yes you make quick small talk, like 5 - 10 min max, no need to talk longer after all you both "toothing" for the same thing.
3. If your still talking one person names a spot, a public spot, like "bathroom in 3" or "fulton alley 5min".
4. You both meet at the spot and have sex.
5. After its done you both go back on you ways never talking to eachother again unless its to "tooth".

Have I tried this? Can't say I have, can't say i plan on it either, but next time im in a club or hip bar I will check out whos available for "toothing". This is extremly popular in Europe apparently, where the whole "Toothing" craze started. What could possibly be next? For now the only thing certain is "toothing" is a gauranteed lay.

Go For It?

So I decided to change my deodorant from speed stick to degree. Well today I go to use my brand new great smelling silver ice scented deodorant when I notice that in the top of my deodorant there has been the three words "Go For It" etched out of the stick.

I don't know what to feel about this...and better yet why do I need motivation coming from my deodorant? and what do I need to go for? It cant be not smelling, who needs motivation for that? I kinda feel like Mitch Hedberg on this one...like I should go to the Degree factory and request some letters of deodorant back. I bought 3oz of deodorant, but is that before or after the letters were removed?

Don't get me wrong, Nike's "Just Do It" campaign was brilliant but a deodorant company now going for a "Go For It" campaign? First off its a deodorant, and second of all its practically its saying the same exact thing as "Just Do It"

Anyone else have this same experience? Do the other Degree scents say different motivational sayings?

Music Comedy

I was stumbling upon youtube the other day with my cousin when we came across these two guys who have made their living by making musical comedy...interesting concept, tough to explain. But if you have a second or two on your hands you should check these guys out. Their names are Igudesman and Joo Search for : igudesmanandjoo on youtube or go to their website at: www.igudesmanandjoo.com

Or just watch these two videos I find to be HI-larious

My Wife

Ive decided that when it comes time to get married, to settle down and live the life of raising kids, that I will take a very measured approach at it. When it is time I will begin attending singles ward, for those of you who don't know, thats where they send all the single Mormon guys and gals to meet new people and learn about "God."

Now the best thing about this is that Mormon chicks are pretty damn hot. Now thats an added bonus, the real things that make this such an amazing idea are as follows:
1. Most Mormons are conservatives
2. Mormon women take care of their men
3. Mormon women are great to raise kids
4. Mormon women are disciplined
5. Mormon women can be molded to your exact specifications
6. Mormon women only make out with other guys until they get married...thats right, you get a virgin! Lets face it if Im with a girl and she says shes been with 8 guys...i get pissed. 15 guys...im pissed again. You know what lets just be honest here, if shes been with 1 guy...you guessed it, i get pissed. I know its hypocritical but thats just the way it is, and dont I deserve some credit for coming out and saying that im being hypocritical? Every guy out there is the same way whether they want to admit it or not!

So, if those 6 reasons aren't enough for you...don't worry, there are more, and trust me they are just as good. But im not going to bore you with those other reasons, think about it yourself and see what you come up with.

So when I'm ready to really settle down, Ill go to my local LDS church and take my pick from the cream of the crop. Its kinda like ordering a mail-order bride from Russia, except in this case you know what your getting, you know shes most likely a virgin, and best of all...SHE SPEAKS ENGLISH!

And don't worry, if you want to get in on my perfect plan...well go ahead, there's plenty of Mormon women for all of us :)
