New User Pic

I just uploaded a new user pic that shows my beard when it was in its full glory after not being shaved or trimmed for nearly four months. Due to the fact that I start my job a week from today, it has been put to rest and I look respectable (more or less) once again

Gnarls Barkley Video

So, I had commented on this in but I am so obsessed with it, it deserves its own post. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend that you check out the Gnarls Barkley Video for Crazy. It is one of the best videos (for a really good song) I have seen in a long time. It is a series of Rorschach inkblots with images of the band among other things interwoven into them. Here are a few samples:

You can watch it at overdrive.mtv.com. Click on "Search Music Videos" and search for Gnarls Barkley. This does require internet explorer and windows media player and it is a bit moody so beware. You also can download it here but the quality isn't as good . Eitherway, you should check it out. It is Craaaazzzyyy

Beefs w/ Hurricanes / OLN

So, the sabres lost and I am going to (try to) not dwell on it, but there are a few things I need to get off my chest, but before I start my beefs, I would like to commend and thank the Sabres for a great series and an amazing season. When everyone counted you out you kept fighting, just like the people of Buffalo. In the end, fate had it out for you, also like the city, and the injuries overtook you. But you had the biggest heart by far. Thank you and we'll get 'em next year.

Now for the Beef,

1. "The Loud House" - the goddam announcers on OLN kept talking about how the "Caniacs" were sooo loud in their "Loud House" and they even brought a decible meter to show how loud it was. The decible meter ranged from 100 - 110. They were saying how loud this was and in the same sentence mentioned the fact that in game 3 of the series (in Buffalo) the noise got up to 130 decibles. How the fuck is it such a goddam loud house and the fans are so goddam crazy if the Buffalo fans were that much louder. Plus the two sabres games sold out in 18 minutes. The canes games didn't sell out until game day and after they lifted the ban on people from outside the region buying tickets. Also, there were a couple of times I heard "Lets Go Buffalo" while they were in Carolina

2. Cam Ward - in last nights broadcast the announcers were going on and on about how amazing cam ward is and how amazing it was that he won 10 playoff games in his rookie year. Hate to break it to the assholes, but Ryan Miller had won 11 as they were talking and he had won 10 before Cam Ward had. Ryan Miller was never pulled and faced so many more shots and opportunities than Ward as 3 of his 6 starting defensemen were gone for most of the series

I hate goddam southern hockey teams especially when they were moved from an area that actually knows what hockey is (to all the "Caniacs" this applies to your team as they were once the Hartford Whalers, not that I would expect you to know that). In summation fuck the Canes, their "fans" (I use this term loosely as most of them did not know what hockey was until their team was in the Eastern Conference Finals), and the OLN announcers (for my money I'll take Rick Jeanneret

any day)

Thank you Sabres, we'll get in next year, but for now Go Oilers!

2 Years

Howdy all,
Today is my two year anniversary on (e:strip). It is crazy to look back and think of all the stuff that has happened to me during that time. And if I feel motivated enough, I don't even have to think I can just read all the crap I posted (though I do regret not posting more regularily to have a better record of what I have done). It is also interesting to see who were the regular posters then and who they are now. Looking at the "Latest 12" list I only see two who were around when I first started (e:paul) and (e:southernyankee). ((e:metalpeter) signed up a few days after me). Well, no use getting sentimental, I will have plenty of time to do that in the next month as I will both graduate from grad school and get a real job as well as go to my sister's graduation from 8th grade, which will be the first time since I started kindergarten (18 years ago) that myself or one of my siblings was not at the small (my class had 21 people) christian school that I went to for K-8 (Covenant Academy in Tonawanda). Anyways, thanks (e:paul) for the site.

Onward. I hope all is well with everyone. Yesterday I drove to albany to sign the lease for my apartment. It seems to be a nice apartment, decent size rooms, right on Washington Park and a 15 minute walk to work. I will be living with another person in my MPA program. It should be good, and if anyone is in the albany area, feel free to look me up.

That is all for now. Bye
