This morning I woke up and my room was still dark. Unfortunately, it wasn't because I woke up too early, it was because it was all cloudy and pouring outside. You know, the rain sure puts a "damper" on my mood for the day, harharhar.

I think by far the best radio commercials I've ever heard are for Bud Light. Usually, commercials on the radio are either really lame gimmicky jokes, or just the basic "Call this number now for more information" kind of thing. But, there's this series of ads for Bud Light that's called "Real American Heroes" or something, that I think is hilarious. Each one "salutes" a certain person, like a Truck Driver, Coffee Shop Employee, or "Mr. Tiny Thong Bikini Wearer". So they play this slow cheesy rock music with a guy singing weird echoes in the background, and then they have a narrator explain why they are saluting the person. Like yesterday, I heard one for Next-Day Carpet Man, going something like this:

cheesy rock intro
Narrator - Today we salute you, Next-Day Carpet Man, because when we're jonesin' for some carpet, we're jonesin' for carpet
Rock Singer Echo - Jonesin' for some carpet....

And so forth. If you've never heard any of these commercials I'm talking about, then you probably wouldn't understand, and think I'm a dumbass. You're missing out though, so I suggest you pay attention to commercials on the radio more.

I've been listening to the new Outkast 2-CD set for a couple weeks now, and I'm not sure if I like it. The two singles they have on the radio/MTV right now are good, and the skits are entertaining as always, but it seems like there's a lot of garbage tracks of crappy songs they threw in, just so each of those guys could have a separate CD. They might've been better off combining it all into one disc. Or, maybe the stuff is just so weird this time that I just don't get it.

Outkast has always had some lyrics that are so random and barely make any sense, but I think it's awesome. At least it's good that they don't just rap about money, hoes, and being a thug gangsta all the time. Some of my favorites are:

"Softly, as if I played piano in the dark"
"Cause I'm cooler than a polar bear's toenails..."
"Lend me some sugar... I am your neighbor!"

This weekend I realized that it's now been over 1 full year since I started working at this job. Last September/October was when I interviewed, got an offer, accepted, bought a car, got some new shirts/pants, and started working. It was also around this time when Oiy had her birthday thing at Tequila Roadhouse (Happy birthday to Stork too by the way, if I forgot to say it before). That happened to be the first time I met two cool friends in Nina and Vira, as well as being around the time when Nina and Greg first got together. I don't know if you guys had your exact anniversary yet, but congrats on making it through the first year. Anyways, I always get a weird feeling to remember what life was like exactly one year ago, and see how much stuff has changed in the time since then.
