General Lil’ Lee

All I can say is… HA HA HA HA HA HAAAH! But seriously, the best part is that - if you look at the pics - it has 1 of 4 wheel covers… Take the last one off at THAT point — then at least you match.

Basment Project Part V

February 12th, 2006 | Category: DIY projects, Pics

The drywall is up in the main room and the rooms seem much more "real" then they do in the framing stage. Though the pink insulation look will be sorely missed.

Basment Project Part 4

February 11th, 2006 | Category: DIY projects, Pics

Unfortunately the two new exterior lights had to be re-done, but now they look and work great. The cinderblock wall has now been painted the grout color and is one step closer to the faux brick wall.

Stop Snitching Shirts - Work!

February 10th, 2006 | Category: Soapbox

First created as a novelty shirt. The “Stop Snitchin(g)” shirts gained mass popularity after being featured in rap videos. But the effect of the hip hop culture extends beyond simply wearing these shirts: it’s actually reduced snitching. Talk about being a slave to fashion. Certain courts have even banned wearing the shirts in the courtroom due to their effect on witnesses.

No River City

February 05th, 2006 | Category: Reviews

I discovered a new band last nite: No River City. I would have snapped some pics with my camera phone but the venue was really dark so I didn’t waste my time… but their lead singer looks a lot like the that guy from My Name Is Earl:


They’re a talented rising group from Atlanta. They’re style is rock with a tad of country and a dash of Americana. They’ll be a band to watch as they definately have the skills, charisma, attitude, and song writting ability to be the next Eddie From Ohio. My personal favorite was a song about falling in love with a billboard lady. They are currently working on their second album and, from the sampling we heard, it’s going to be great.I give them :

Only 10 Years Left

February 03rd, 2006 | Category: Links

“‘Al is a funny guy.’ But he is also a very serious guy who believes humans may have only 10 years left to save the planet from turning into a total frying pan.” - Washington Post

Rush Limbaugh apparently found Al Gore’s prediction histerical or very insightful becuase he has posted a 10 year count down timer to “World Destruction!” I leave you to ponder Rush’s attitude: serious or sarcasm. ;)

How Not To Handle Money

February 02nd, 2006 | Category: Finance

I was listening to the Dave Ramsey talk show recently and a lady called in and had done the following financially…

She took out a home loan to consolidate her $8000 in credit card debt. Fairly normal. For reasons undisclosed she chose a new 1st mortgage instead of a 2nd mortgage or some other type of home equity line of credit. Which meant she had to pay closing costs (though you can usually get a lower interest rate). Since her credit was bad, she had to pay $7000 in closing costs and still only got an interest rate of 9% (which many people have on their credit cards). This $7000 was, of course, added to the new mortgage — since if you had $7000 you could all but pay off the credit cards.The best part is that she actually took $15000 of equity out of her house (and only increased her loan by $22000) and so she had $7000 left over. She then decided to called Dave Ramsey the king of “get out of debt at all costs” to ask how she could best invest that $7000. Nice.

Telegraph?

February 01st, 2006 | Category: Tech

“Effective January 27, 2006, Western Union will discontinue all Telegram and Commercial Messaging services” - WesternUnion.com

That’s right, no more telegraphs. While at first this seems hilarious that it took until 2006 to kill the telegraph — you know, now that high-speed internet connections are generally available to cellular phones… On the other hand, it kinda makes me sad that it’s gone. I mean if I had know that telegraphs were still around last month, I would have gone and sent a few just for the nostalgia of it. Ok so nostalgia probably isn’t the best word, but you know what I mean… It’s like riding on a train or something (who still uses trains?)

  • Western Union abandons telegramsUPDATE: Apparently quite a few telegrams were sent on January 27th… All in the attempt to be the last telegram in history.
