how to win friends with your krunk-top blog

1) have a lot of random schnafiez you want to discuss.
2) have even more bizarre places where you can get this information/these ideas
a- an offbeat pool of friends or social input/intake is necessary
b- excellent search engines- and i mean inner search engines
3) be open to the vast possibilities offered to you- anything could be prime blogging grounds
z- outside is just as good as inside and mixing is best
y- ruling out supernatural also rules out most people (because even if they don’t like supernatural they like to laugh at people who do!)
4) have some interesting career you’re working on (or talent?):
umlaud- i have many and they are not limited to hip hop artistry, poison ivy investigation,
ll- , commas and punctuation debates, making stuff for other stuff ($$$) and french4peepzpimpmysite.com(sorry it’s not the link anymore)
5) remember you are in control. i’m done with this blog for now. but, bagoo, if i want to make it a series i will and you watch for forthcoming installments.

wikiality (and will ferrell)

mr. steven colbert and i are not as dissimilar as you might think! tonight in “The Wørd,” he mentioned one of my favorite websites (wikipedia) which was my homepage before popurls, and he mentioned how happy their entry on “truthiness” made him. i agree with sir colbert and dearly hope that my words will someday be used for and in agreement with the good of the people.

this show is krunktop people -> KRUNK-TOP! also i heard horsebird might be in heat right now. beware.

wikiality is the futuralityWelcome to Photosynth bazang!

sweet hatboro car show

this weekend (among other crazy things- stay tuned for updates!!!) i got to go the hatboro car show. my favorite car looked something like this minus red plus black:

hot 2002tii bmw!

the sickly sweet little BMW 2002tii at the show was pimp. it was black and the hood opened up backwards which i loved for no practical reason. at the time i was in love but later upon looking at the old pic of my beamer (see below) i realized the 524 is best. and even though my sweet little whitey should have been running and shining there at that show, i still had a decent time surrounded by all the glory and splendor of finely waxed and maintained automobiles i will never get rides in (maybe i’ll dress up really nicely soon and go test-driving). someday, possibly, i could get a car to put in a car show- someday and maybe.

and to close that night off some car hit the porch of somebody’s house.

it never occurred to me that i liked cars that much, until i got one that i had dreamed of, and had to learn about it as it broke before my eyes. the saga with the 524 is nowhere near finished.

my 524

until then…maybe i’ll buy this lil guy (but no joke i love these things)

UPDATE- (2007)- yeah, my BMW, and mrak’s same car color, year, make, and model but with over 150,000 fewer miles on it were for sale, and an awesome lady who helps make car parts manuals bought both of them so she can convert it to veggie oil! go lady! and go 524’s go!!!

the dentist

the other day i finally made it to the dentist after over a year of not going. unfortunately i did wait too long. my teeth seem to just be rotting away. i had SIX new cavities. six. i’ve never had that many at any dentist appointment and i do not eat candy bars liked i used to (bidaily). alas i had six new cavities. and my mouth was hurting throughout the cleaning. the dentist said i was scraping away my gums and unfortunately brushing too rough in too similar of a pattern. now it’s just well-plotted circles i must use to clean my mouth and special sensitive toothpaste. no thanks. and of course i don’t floss as much as i should. do you?

i was also in an inordinate amount of pain unfortunately. i was indeed nearly dying from a monthly pain disorder biproduct. eating basil leaves rolled up can help it but this i did not know at the time. instead i was trying so hard not to gag as the dentist poked and prodded at my mouth. it was very painful. mostly just plain difficult to make it through. i survived that day only throwing up twice. it was a good one.

so i have to go back to the dentist now, at least several times. i have a chipped tooth that had been bonded back in the day, i have some discoloration, and don’t forget the six cavities. woot hoot.

rotting teeth you just never know do you!

When I moved my blog to a new host I used WordPress Database Backup

My dreamhost account runs out on 7-31 so Mark offered to switch it over to his account. You can get $22.02 off your hosting plan by entering the Dreamhost promo code: MARKGIVES222

1. Use ftp to backup all of the files on your domain to your hard drive
2. Next you will have to back up the database which contains all of your posts, comments, etc

——I used the following WordPress plugin to backup my blog

skippy dot net’s WP-DB Backup 1.7 plugin

3. Setup the domain at your new host and use ftp to upload files from hard drive
4. Create a database with the same name as your old WordPress database
——At this point if you visit your blog you will notice that it is telling you to run install.php. You do not need to do this.
5. Login to MyPHPAdmin and choose “Import”

You can follow these instructions Restoring Your Database From Backup or here is a visual guide

the right choice

so here’s the accident that may have become a right choice for me:

duringunsure of what i’ve done

and i think i like it. think. for now. i think i like it. think. for now. (you can’t even tell the real color in this picture)

it has grown on me and hopefully will continue to until i feel much better about it. i was hoping for blonde like the sun, but i got blornge like a clown. it’s cool though. i’m not a teacher yet! only kidding. no one even cares. i don’t really care. i care more about this.

-did the tour de france winner (Floyd Landis) dope it up? this is being investigated.
-is lance bass from ‘n’sync gay? yes he came out as a homosexual recently.
-a patient in kansas city received a blood transfusion contaminated with e. coli bacteria. did you ever think about that? all the bad (and good) things that could come with a person’s blood?!?!
- The Misfits Horror Business Black 7″ 45 EX NR, this vinyl, went for $8239 on ebay!!! check your vinyls people!
-Andrea Yates found not guilty by reason of insanity. No. You drown your kids and you go to jail forever. Sorry- there’s NO excuse. I was once crazy too. Alright, enough of this. I don’t do politic
-new One Laptop per Child idea proposed for some countries in South and Central America, the Middle East, and Africa, but supposedly India already refused it
-want more great news stories? i’m telling you- check out popurls

i am going to a raw food junk food party tonight. i wanted to give up sugar but i guess raw food sugar is up there in the ‘best of the worst for you’ kind of foodstuffs. well, i love you all. until later.

accidents

sometimes you make choices and think they’re in your best interest. then, whether it be right after, soon after, or much later, you realize you have made a mistake. or, you decide it was an accident. regret? i don’t do that.

well i might have made a mistake. but i’m not going to admit its identity yet. let’s wait until tomorrow and see if it gets any better. suspense? yes. worth it? wait for it!

and in other news:
-the Colbert Report (and Daily Show) is so much more than everything i could ever need from a news and humor standpoint at either 11 or 1am every weekday night
-i was so delirious a little earlier that i thought it was winter because i heard the ‘heat’ click on. (oh wait, yes, it was the ‘ac’).
-the cat snoogles the water bottle she gets sprayed with when she does a naughty thing.


-who knows what could happen if you click on those ads (dreams coming true?)
-who knows if anything is all that bad as it’s claimed to be. and how do we know the glorified wonders of society (like splenda) are all they’re cracked up to be?!?!?!
-who else has back pain in a concentrated area that lasts for more than a few years at a time? (and what should we do about this)
-if i ate some food right now that might make me more smart, but what about regularly- how do i fit smart and witty into my schedule more regularly.

enough questions. (questions about the ‘accident’ are allowed)

Fresh Cut Salads

What a tasty little name, right? Seriously though, this band is amazing. They combine the mental capacity of apes with musical evolution; they create revolutions with unintrusive intrusions to wake you up to the smell of home-cooked carrots. This 5-member band brings together creative collections of notes, instruments, and lyrics to tickle right all up in your eustachian tubes (and don’t let them lay a bed of spinach down in your semicircular canals). Really people, let’s get some testimonies going! They’re music is tasty as grilled right-from-the-vine squash in the summertime of a stirfy. Their personalities are eclectic and enigmatic as some have said and for more info (including an A-to-Z describatory guide), go to the fresh cut salads forum page. Anyway I’m bored of writing about these fabulous people because the complexities of their lives and genius (musical or otherwise) is too much to fathom and it kind of hurts my head. So I lied- I’m not actually bored of it, I just kind of want to go take a nap.

what grass juice? wheat grass juice

i have discovered the love that wheat grass juice can give you. check out these websites or do your own search to find more:
good basic stuff
more info and such
about a juicer if you chooser
it’s super good for you and even supernatural. it’s extracted from wheat before any processing and is full of chlorophyll. it’s found to have many awesome healing powers and grood stuff. i’ve noticed a difference (maybe even if it’s part placebolike) but i feel better drinking it- and believe it or not it actually makes drinking water more interesting to me.
it doesn’t taste wonderful unless you are a healthy lovin type peep who enjoys things tasting like the earth. i actually really like the taste. you could mix it in with juice or whatever you think of.
i’ve seen powder, but it’s best if you juice it yourself. if you can’t do all that work (like me), some stores like Whole Foods have it in ice cubes (weird, right?!?!) and you can just pop it in a drink.
i can’t explain it but it’s quite awesome. and really good for you. grood times continue with wheat grass juice.
wheatgrass at its grassiest?
