New Year Resolutions

I was a horrible failure on my resolutions for 2009. I have not completed a successful back flip this year. On the bright side – I have no failed attempts at a back flip this year either.

So this year I want you to come up with my new years resolution. Maybe I should keep the back flip thing? Maybe I should not drink beer for a full year? Maybe I should start smoking cigarettes again? Maybe I should get into the Guinness book or world records (for what?)? Maybe I should win a silver medal at the winter Olympics?

Whatever gets the most comments will become my resolution and I will put more effort into it than I did the back flip thing. But I’m gonna do a back flip this year too. Don’t limit yourself to the ideas I wrote above – that was just the heat of the moment I was typing this shit.

A night with no Guild Wars?

I’ve been on a big Guild Wars kick the past month or so (the amount of time I haven’t posted anything here).  After a snow bike trip to the liquor store tonight I thought maybe I’d have a night at home that I didn’t fire up Guild Wars.  Then I realized that would be kinda silly – there is lots to do.  So my eventual plan is to get at least one set of elite armor for each profession in the game.  Right now I only have one and that is on my warrior, he has go the Silver Eagle Armor.

Next up will likely be armor for Agent Crazy Diamond (my Necromancer) or My Name Is Hammy (my Ritualist) but I’m still undecided what to get.  I have a few picked out – but you can decide which I end up getting:

Necromancer (check out all the Necromancer armor):

Ritualist (check out all Ritualist armor):

Let me know which you like the best and I’ll do my best to go get it!

I suppose I should show you what the look like with their current (cheap) armor:

My Name Is Hammy:

Agent Crazy Diamond:

You want some hot shit?

This is your stuff.  Dave’s Insanity Salsa.  Holy shit this stuff is hot.

Dave's Insanity Salsa

I remember hearing about Dave’s Insantiy sauce before but had never tried it.  I saw this at the liquor store this weekend and picked up a jar of it.  Don’t even try it unless you REALLY like stuff to be super hot.  People that have heart or respiratory problems should stay away.  That is what it says on the jar at least.  It seems to be that if you like breathing you should stay away from the stuff.

Stop by sometime if you wanna try a little bit.  It is hidden in the back of the fridge!

Now you can be a computer expert too!

I don’t usually just re-post something from somewhere else, but I’m making an exception for this one.

Thanks Crutchfield

I’m starting to look at TVs online for a replacement for the piece of crap we have in our living room now.  I’m thinking something around 37 inch range.  As I’m browsing through http://www.crutchfield.com I’m selecing the criteria on the left side of the page for what I want to see. I choose the appropriate size and resolutions and still have some options to further narrow my search.

That is all fine and dandy – but look at the very bottom of the image below.  You can narrow your search based on price.  How often will $300 – $2400 be a price range that will be helpful to anyone.  Yeah – I’d like to spend at least $300 but no more than hmmmm, how about $2400.  Thanks Crutchfield!

Whats with all the DragonBerries?

Having a son that is almost 3 years old I’ve seen my fair share of the Dragon Tales cartoon.  Check out some videos if you’ve never seen it.  Anyway – these dragons are always talking about getting hopped up on DragonBerries.  I always thought there was something suspicoius about one of the dragons and his obsession with DragonBerries.

I now know what is going on there – it all makes perfect sense:

It got weird in the mens room the other day

I piss a lot.  Both when I’m at home and when I’m at work I piss a lot.  That is not the point here though.

So I go to the mens room to piss a couple days ago at work right.  We’ve just moved into a new building which is kinda fancy.  The mens room has lights that turn off after so long and then detect motion to turn back on.  I walk in and notice that the lights turn on when I walk in so I assume I’ll be the only person in there.  But the last stall door is closed all the way.  I didn’t bother to look close enough to see if it was latched closed, or just happened to be gently resting in the closed position.  I of course assumed it was just gently resting.

Then I’m standing there pissing and I hear some juicy fart noises.  Holy shit – someone has been on the toilet long enough for the lights to turn off!!!!  That dude might have heard me let out a little laugh.

I finished up quick and got out of there but I was curious.  I might have hung around the water fountain a little longer than normal afterwards.  I wanted to see who it was.  Eventually some dude from a different company comes out and walks away.  Weird guy.  I’m sure he’s a great guy though.  If this was you and you happen to be reading this – well done.  I wonder if you fell asleep or just like to take your time.

I’d like to make money using Twitter

Making Money With TwitterDoes that sound like crazy? Well it isn’t.

I know a lot of people see Twitter as a total waste of time. It is just another form of communication so for a lot of people it probably is a waste. That doesn’t mean it is all a waste. People are making lots of money using their Twitter accounts. How you ask – I will tell you.

First step is creating a Twitter account if you don’t have one already. Next make sure you have some followers, the more the better. Then you register with a Twitter advertising company as a Twitterer. Set your weekly price and wait for an advertiser to make an offer.

That is how it works on Ad.ly at least. This is the only In-Stream Advertising service I have used. Actually I’ve hardly used it – in fact I just signed up for it this evening.

I’ll keep you updated here to show how this works out over some time, but why not set up an account yourself?

Step 1. Sign up at Twitter.

Step 2. Sign up at http://bit.ly/twitter_made_money

If you want to help me out – create a Twitter account and follow me: http://www.twitter.com/kidpurple.

What apple corer should I get?

You think that question is a joke? It is not. After just recently giving up my dreams of becoming a marine biologist – I decided to do some online shopping – for an apple corer. There are a lot of choices to be made when choosing an apple corer and I need help.

So please check em out and let me know What apple corer should I get?

Please, I need your help – let me know which one to get. The one that gets the most votes will be purchased, or at least added to my wish list. Reply with your choice in the comments – or via twitter (@kidpurple).

If it makes any difference – Granny Smith are my favorite apples.

Thanks for your help.

Becoming a marine biologist

I’m just getting done with the stationary bike in the basement and on comes Monster Fish of the Amazon on National Geographic TV. It has taught me one thing so far:

1. Being a marine biologist would probably be a really cool job.

But then I remembered another thing:

2. I’m allergic to fish.

So that pretty much puts an end to that. Then last but not least:

3. Most marine biologist probably don’t have National Geographic to take them all over the world to look for monster fish.

So shit, I guess I’m stuck with this crappy writing job here. Entertaining my 9 readers for 1 or 2 minutes twice a week isn’t much of a job – but it’s my job dammit!
