Coffee Talk...

So pretend you work at Linens N Things (LNT as they call it in the hood). And they give you this plan that you need to follow as you stock a shelf.



Now on the shelf do you put the Black & Decker Coffee Pot to the right or to the left of the Kitchen Aid Coffee Pot? If you said the the left then you have common sense but according to the designers of LNT, you would be wrong. I don't underrstand it but for some reason when the plan for a shelf says to put something to the left of something then you have to put it to the right. There is no explanaton why that i can find and there is nothing on the paper that even tells you to do so. All I know is that apparently retail=retarded. And I guess after having studied engineering I just expected people to have common sense. My mistake. I had to redo a whole wall of coffee pots because of this. But it was all worth it because today i got PAID.

The Green Fairy...

I actually found something I have been looking for for a long time. I found a site that will sell absinth and ship it to the United States. According to this site, it is illegal to sell absinth in the United States but not illegal to have it. So they process your order in the UK and and ship it to you (as your property) to the United States. All for the low low price of 55 pounds (roughly about 100 dollars). Check out the site. It looks legit enough and has some interesting facts about absinth. I would never order from it because I don't really trust a site that tries to sell me something from overseas but its an interesting idea nonetheless.

why scarlett should marry me.

There are certain time's in one's life when a man falls for a girl. A lot of the times, it's a regular girl, and many more times its a "hollywood actress". All of us have them. Most girls [and some guys (even straight ones)] have fallen for Johnny Depp or Bradd Pitt. But this isn't about that, this is about how, this girl;




Scarlett Johansson, who has the most difficult last name to spell, but I still remember it because I'm that i'm that determined.

So, before you all go into this cliche mindset about how i'm just some creepy stalker who should be committed, just hear me out first. Why should scarlett marry this guy:

Image hosted by Photobucket.com?

Well first of all, we all know one thing, Hollywood relationships are fucked up beyond all reason. They never work out, just look at Brad, jennifer, and Angelina. Or as I like to call it, Brannjelina. It has become the most pathetic, overpressed subject ever that even beat the palestinian earthquake in some magazines. Now that is quite sad. But before I start ranting over what is wrong with hollywood, that is not what i'm talking about, what I'm talking about is that hollywood relatonships do not work, so it is in Scarlett's best interests not to get involved with some actor, musician, performer of any type. It is in her best interests to get involved...well...with me.

Second, I'm sure if she met me, she would find out that I am as cute as this panda dog right here:


now look at that, that is fucking adorable.

Thirdly, I am on my way to getting a good career in a good school. UCSF, NYU, maybe even harvard or Yale. That's right Scarlett, HARVARD or YALE. so I will be very financially stable, and with all the millions she'll be grossing in movies, she could finance my experimentations with nature. Not even that, but she would be married to a future Nobel laureate. I guarantee it. Now if that doesn't win her over, i don't know what does. All the genius of that russel crowe character, and only half the crazy.

So anyone who reads this, and is closely related to Scarlett, please forward this to her, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

-Sincerely,
Renato Regalado

Would you like some fren fry?...

Man they got me working like a mexican up at that Linens N Things. Today was the first day off I've had since thursday. They got me building shelves and chairs and fixing floors. Here I thought they were giong to have me fold towels. I saw the movie STAY. Its a pretty wierd movie. The story isn't great but it just looks so cool. I kind of describe it as THE SIXTH SENSE but if instead of a crazy kid its a suicidal college student.

why we suck::...

First off, let me remind you of hurricane Katrina. That bitch that keeps sucking off money for Louisiana and parts of Mississippi in order to put the poor back on their poor feet. Only to be stomped yet again by, insert drum roll, its own fucking government.
But that’s not the point. Lets party like its New Orleans because as always, Mexico owned the United States.
Katrina death toll (USA) – 1281 and counting
Wilma death toll (Mexico) – 8
Does that say something? How can a first world country let about 1000 + of its people die because of negligence when a country that relies itself on its bananas, potatoes, avocados and peppers has the necessary culture to protect its own people and tourist from across the globe.
Cancun has been devastated, Cozumel has been devastated, Islas Maria have been devastated and it has also been looted, which in a matter of hours was controlled by martial law.
I am just amazed at how the Mexican people are already doing their best to protect their country and how we help one another. I’m not saying the US does not help its own people. They just flatly out suck republican ass at it. Nevertheless they should learn about disasters from that neighbor they love to hate. Us. And its not just me pointing this out, this is news all over the globe, saying that even a third world country like Cuba, even with all the sanctions the united states imposed has had no death tolls and its being double-penetrated by hurricane Wilma and hurricane Alfa.
If it wasn’t for the invading countries budget we would be better off and I would stop listening to people asking for donations. Haven’t they rallied enough money? Has the government done something about it? I mean you voted Bush onto the plate so why doesn’t he take matters onto his own hands? Oh! I remember! There was a cut for the National Guard! Those are the people who help on natural disasters Mr. Bush! Yet now they had a budget cut because bush needed more mortars to kill innocent kids in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine (the ones they sell to the JEWS!) Mr. Bush!
So fuck you all who want donations. If you wanted to go to war in the first place have your redneck ass president play his magical banjo as he sips his delicious bourbon made by the blood of the dead that float across the beautiful city of New Orleans.
cheers.

UNICEF and smurfs



The people of Belgium have been left reeling by the first adult-only episode of the Smurfs, in which the blue-skinned cartoon characters' village is annihilated by warplanes.

The short but chilling film is the work of Unicef, the United Nations Children's Fund, and is to be broadcast on national television next week as a campaign advertisement.

The Unicef advert, which shows the Smurfs' village being bombed

The animation was approved by the family of the Smurfs' late creator, "Peyo".

Belgian television viewers were given a preview of the 25-second film earlier this week, when it was shown on the main evening news. The reactions ranged from approval to shock and, in the case of small children who saw the episode by accident, wailing terror.

Unicef and the family company, IMPS, which controls all rights to the Smurfs, have stipulated that it is not to be broadcast before the 9pm watershed.

The short film pulls no punches. It opens with the Smurfs dancing, hand-in-hand, around a campfire and singing the Smurf song. Bluebirds flutter past and rabbits gambol around their familiar village of mushroom- shaped houses until, without warning, bombs begin to rain from the sky.

Tiny Smurfs scatter and run in vain from the whistling bombs, before being felled by blast waves and fiery explosions. The final scene shows a scorched and tattered Baby Smurf sobbing inconsolably, surrounded by prone Smurfs.

The final frame bears the message: "Don't let war affect the lives of children."

It is intended as the keystone of a fund-raising drive by Unicef's Belgian arm, to raise £70,000 for the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Burundi.

Philippe Henon, a spokesman for Unicef Belgium, said his agency had set out to shock, after concluding that traditional images of suffering in Third World war zones had lost their power to move television viewers. "It's controversial," he said. "We have never done something like this before but we've learned over the years that the reaction to the more normal type of campaign is very limited."

Belgium prides itself on being the home of some of the world's most famous cartoon characters - from Tintin to Lucky Luke and the Smurfs, known to the Dutch- speaking half of the country as "Smurfen" and as "Schtroumpfs" to Belgium's French speakers.

The advertising agency behind the campaign, Publicis, decided the best way to convey the impact of war on children was to tap into the earliest, happiest memories of Belgian television viewers. They chose the Smurfs, who first appeared in a Belgian comic in 1958.

Julie Lamoureux, account director at Publicis for the campaign, said the agency's original plans were toned down.

"We wanted something that was real war - Smurfs losing arms, or a Smurf losing a head -but they said no."

The film has won tentative approval from the official Smurf fan club. A spokesman said: "I think it will wake up some people. It is so un-Smurf-like, it might get people to think."

Hendrik Coysman, managing director of IMPS, said: "That crying baby really goes to your bones."

Waiting for Serenity...

Its been a while since I've posted and I am sorry about that. The past week has been somewhat eventful. Well as eventful as it could be stuck all the way down here. I watched a couple of movies in the past week which I would like to review. I haven't been able to watch the movie I have been waiting a year and a half for, Serenity, because I have been unable to be in brownsville for anything other than job searches but it all seems to have paid off because I got a job selling Linens and/or Things not sure yet. I still encourage anyone who can to go watch Serenity. I hear nothing but good things about it and I would really like to see some sequels made. Anyway the movies I have been able to watch are the lame plane movie Flightplan and the pretty good for a mexican movie 7 Dias (7 Days for the gringos).

Flightplan cannot be adequately reviewed without spoiling the ending. This is because the ending is so stupid that it has to be discussed in order to fully warn people who might want to live through it. If you really really want to watch a dumb movie without getting the retarded endind spoiled for you I will write the spoiler parts in italics and if you wish you may skip that part of the review. The movie starts well enough. If you have seen the commercial then you know what happens. Lady gets on a plane with her daughter only to wake up and find her missing (get it?...FIND her missing). She starts looking around for her and the flight crew helps her out but they start questioning her sanity when nobody seems to remember her daughter ever being on the plane and they get some damning evidence from some funeral director guy. At this point I have spoiled nothing for you. This was all on the trailer and thinking about how this was all in the trailer there really is no other possible conclusion than how it turns out. (SPOILER PARTS ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN!!!!)


Of course the mother keeps searching for the little girl. And it turns out she is alive and real. Apparently the sky marshall guy who was helping her and restraining her when it seemed like she was crazy is a terrorist who has a complicated plan for getting 50 million dollars. At the begining of the movie Jodie Foster's husband dies by falling off a roof. Jodie Foster and the daughter are taking the coffin back home and the sky marshall guy has placed C4 inside the coffin with the help of the funeral director guy who he is in cahoots with. He needs to kidnap Jodie Foster's daughter so that he will get acess to the coffin andso that everyone will think she is crazy and he can convince them that she is the terrorist. And this is the flaw in his retarded plan. In order for his plan to work, nobody must ever see the little girl while she is on the plane. While this is what actually happens in the movie it is very unrealistic. Jodie Foster is the first to get in the plane witht eh daughter so some flight attendant has to have noticed her. When everybody else gets on the plane, they have people in the rows in front behind and next to them. And finally there is the fact that flight attendants are almost always nice to little kids and give them special treatment. In order for the terrorist guy's plan to work none of these people could see the daughter and Jodie Foster and the daughter cannot make any friends while waiting for the plane. Do you see why this is a stupid plan? There are too many variables and it more than likely would not work. But of course the retarded plan has to work cause if not there is no movie but this is why the movie is retarded

(END OF SPOILER PART)

The other movie I watched is 7 Dias. It is a very good mexican movie. The actors are good despite the fact that they never seem to get the right Monterey accent. The plot is good after a lightly shaky start. More than anything it is quite funny. I would recommend it to anyone who happens to be in a theatre showing it.

Please go watch Serenity if you haven't already. I hear its very good and I want a sequel.

Peace Out

Garage Sale-ing?

So:

My band, Remnants of the Stereo, is playing an acoustic show on Halloween night, along with my other band, Strike Louie, which is a strictly acoustic band. Does anybody have a cheap acoustic guitar or a crappy acoustic guitar that I could break? It'd be cool...I promise.

Let me know.
oh and go to the show. Hell, I'll even drive you down to Calallen for it.

p.s. Ska Rocks.

We need a good debate

Our Government is one of the most mediocre governments to date really, current events show that the people in charge are inept and are not capable of doing the task that was handed to them. There are much better governments in other countries that this government should emulate. It should also stop relying its economy on oil and start focusing on hydropower, as well on biomass. Nuclear power shouldn't really make a come back because we don't really want another three mile island again.

p.s. Guns and Roses still sucks.

tee hee.

Don't Lose Touch = Nausea

So.

I just saw Against Me! on Conan O'Brien, and I must say that it was very, well...boring. They had no energy, which is understandable, and i'm really not sure why they are pushing Don't Lose Touch. They could push Problems, its a much better song. And Tom edited his lyrics. Lame. No i don't think they've sold out like some elitists believe, I just didn't like the song choice they made. I was excited until i heard the opening bass line to the song. And then Tom started doing that kicking thing.

They should've done Miami, unedited. It would've rocked. They looked so out of place, though. It was awesome. I love Against Me!, but i hate their videos and tv performances. Who's going with me to see them in Austin in November????
