New Year's Resolutions

sadmind

The end of 2008. The beginning of 2009. Death. Rebirth. The cornerstone of the Pagan (and most preceding and post-created) worship systems. The end of Daymarks the beginning of night… the end of the Winter marks the beginning of Spring. Eggs, Rabbits, your birthday means something, I think you get the picture.

More importantly, New Year’s [...]

A bunch of links to find me

sadmind

I have stuff all over the internet these days, for different reasons. Even I forget about them here and there. I have to leave to those notification emails left on when I join a new site just to make sure I remember what I was doing there. I even keep a seperate group in my Address Book just to listmy Login Usernames and Passwords.

As I was organizing my bookmarks I decided to just make a list. And since I made the list, I thought I might as well post it up here for the hell of it. So I [...]

Next Year's Holiday Card

sadmind

It's too late to get this sent out for the Holidays of 2008, but I'm thinking this might have to be the 2009 holiday card I send out. So enjoy the "sneak peek."

And yes, I realize I'm an idiot.

Metallica December 17th in LA

sadmind

I went and saw Metallica on a Wednesday night here in LA (well.. Inglewood to specific... at The Forum). It was a great night, even though I wasn't too sure at the beginning.

The whole reason behind me going was that my friend (and fellow comedian) Joel Sanders was here in the US touring(he's from the UK... and that means England not "University of Kentucky" btw.) and was heading to Los Angeles to spend some time off his tour before heading back.

We spoke and re [...]

Merry Whatever You Celebrate

sadmind

Holidays are a magical time. Sure they’re usually shrouded in incorrect versions of history and sometimes just laughable mysticism; and the major onesare nothing more than overplayed and under-disguised economic stimulus packages, but magical nonetheless.

I do so enjoy the repetitive inquiry of “What do you want for Christmas.” Because it remov [...]

Russel Brand (from JulianKross.com)

sadmind

British Comedian Russel Brand (www.russellbrandfansite.com ) cracks me up.

And not just his standup. Or his heroine sheik NYC 1983 outward appearance.

iLike confusion over

sadmind

I was having a very brief issue with iLike (www.iLike.com ) and getting some of my comedy clips available ontheir service for Facebook, Myspace, and Bebo users. The user name was taken already... I'm using rather good at that. But sometimes automated database inclusion gets the better of me.

So i'm on there:

Urethral Sound... aka The worst thing I've ever seen.

sadmind

I openly admit that I'm a fan of other people making horrible, horrible decisions. Whether it be grotesque, silly, ridiculous, violent, or just mildly amusing; I'm rather willing to feed my inner voyer by giving them my partial attention as they make a mistake.

As far as things deemed "pornography" Ive seen most. Many regretfully. The infamous "Mr [...]

Brazilian Fart Porn

sadmind

Brazilian Fart Porn… I didn’t even know this existed. In fact the first time I heard of it I thought the person who told me was joking… a reference to their lack of importing biofuels maybe. He was not. And I wish he was.

I stumbled across this after someone sent me a humorous clip of a news anchor farting on a [...]

Jax Beach You Let Me Down

sadmind

My Independance Day celebrations this fourth of July were spent in theever strange metroplis of Jacksonville, FL.

A Little History

Jacksonville, for the unfamiliar, is the largest city in the country in terms of land area and has been since the late 60s when the consolidatedthe city and county government. Which basically means you can be in Jacksonville and no where near another person in Jacksonville. It also means the voting pool is comprised of every possible walk of socio-ec [...]

sadmind

Ahhh St Patrick's Day

sadmind

Ahhhh... St Patrick's Day... definitely one of my top holidays.

There's just nothing quite as fulfilling as watching a historically religiousfigure actually be the namesake of one the largest parties in the world. In fact, the only truly religious point left in the whole day is the many misunderstood facts about it. But then again, a couple hundred years of [...]

Oklahoma you're old, but you're no Georgia

sadmind

Oklahoma you're old but you're no Georgia!

Happy 100th Birthday Oklahoma, the 46th state... land of corn and meth, place where I've been sitting the last week trying to figure out why you are so excited that it's your birthday. I mean you're a hundred... you should be exhausted... go grab a nap.
Ah but the magic of the event is of course the rallying of soccer moms and other persons with 8+ free hours a day making floats and incorrectly assuming the costum [...]

What Google Ads think of me

sadmind

Apparently the content bots over at Google, who crawl sites to determine what relevant ads should be displayed based on the content of page, have deemed the content of my blog page... well... N.A.M.B.L.A. worthy. Which is rather unsettling.

Here is an example i received when pulling up http://www.daviscomedy.com/blog.html (the home page of my blog) :
