Back with a fresh background

Well I hope you all had a great thanksgiving and an amazing break if you had one. I didn't have much time to post anything that week but now that I'm back I shall continue to post daily. I hope my absence has not turned anyone away from my blog. Here is a great remix of the gorillaz song "stylo". The cool thing about this song is that the rhymer in the song, chiddy bang, does not cuss or say nigga in any of his songs. I wish more hip hop artists would be like that.

On a side note, how do you like the new background?

Happy Thanksgiving

Have a great turkey day!

Evolution of Men

I'm sorry for the lack of words and time put into my recent posts. I just got home for thanksgiving break so I've been spending my time with my family. Heres a beautiful video, please watch and enjoy!

Carl Sagan

I thought this was post worthy...

Bill Hicks (Comedian)

I apologize for not posting anything the last couple days. My Thanksgiving break just started so my friends and I drove from our university to home (northern california to southern california) and that took about 14 apologize hours. Now that I'm down here I'll keep updating daily.

Todays Post is about the comedian Bill Hicks, I had never heard of him until my friend showed me his standup a couple days ago. He is hilarious. His humor challenges mainstream beliefs and aims to "enlighten people to think for themselves". He is also good friends with the singer of the psycedelic rock band "tool", Maynard. I could give you an in depth article about his life but I doubt you guys would read it so I'm just going to post one of his stand up shows live and you can make up your mind about your view on him.



And here is a tool song that uses some recordings of him in the song



I strongly recommend going to youtube and listening to all the parts of the Bill Hicks Philosophy standup if you enjoyed the first video.

Guinea Rig

My friend just sent me this article, I thought it was such an inspiring story that it belonged on my blog.

Realistic Android

The most realistic android to date... I guess in the real life "Terminator" Arnold will be an asian girl. Soredeha Mata, Baby...

Nostalgia

Well today's post is about the past, think about all the good times. My childhood is kinda like all these pictures combined with sunshine.

Mysterious Missile off of LA?

So apparently last monday off the coast of Los Angeles, California there was what looked like a missile launched. The US government had no idea what it was. They claimed it must of been a airliner or a amateur rocket because the smoke plum was not big enough to be a military missile, but still they say that they have no proof if it was an airliner or amateur rocket, which is weird because don't you think they would have some radar readings or something to distinguish what it is. We do have billions going in to the government to do stuff like that. I'm guessing they're hiding something, judge for yourself.

100 Followers!

Well I finally reached it, I have been at 99 for the last two days and finally someone has decided to be the hundredth follower. I really want to thank all of you fellow bloggers for the support and the comments. I will keep doing what I've been doing and hopefully I will keep growing.

In-N-Out Secret Menu

Ok this post is only for those lucky people in Socal who can go to In-n-out. It has to be the best burger shop in California. One of the cool things about it, besides the incredible food, is that they have an extensive secret menu that pretty much only locals know of. I thought I'd share some of the hidden food you can order.

Disguises

Lucky you, I decided to have two posts today. I saw these on the internet earlier and I thought they were so funny that they belonged on my blog. I never knew people did this, and I still don't understand why they do. Got a couple laughs out of it though. Enjoy!

Watch this if these made you crack up - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fZcLG3xl8I&feature=player_embedded

GIFs

I try to keep my blog pretty balanced with useful things, funny things and time killers. I posted about making money yesterday so today I'm just going to dump some GIFs. I hope you enjoy!

Looks like some don't move when you look at the post, just click on a picture if you don't see it moving and you can see it play.

Unusual ways to make money

Well I apologize about not posting anything yesterday, I was really busy studying for a test and I couldn't find time to get on blogger. I think I did fairly well on the test today so I thought I'd hop on here and shoot out a post.

Todays post will be about making money fast, and doing it in somewhat unusual ways. I have not tried many of these but being the starving college student I am, I should be trying to make money and get out of the debt.

~HOW TO MAKE MONEY FAST~

1. Sign up for medical tests (You can make money and who knows, you could grow a third nipple.)

2.  Rent out a room, or a parking space (If you got one open, why not.)

3. Tap your life insurance (I haven't done this but apparently if you have "whole" life insurance there is a cash value to it and you can call them up and take some.)

4. Garage sale/pawn shop/lemonade stand (You get the idea.)

5. Sell body parts (Not like kidneys or lungs, but hair, and I heard some clinics will pay 35$ for your plasma which you can do twice a week.)

5. Sperm bank (Never done this but I don't know why not.)

6. Scalp tickets (Simple as it sounds.)

7. Go scavenging (Anywhere and everywhere, hell even collecting cans can be profitable, its illegal but there are a lot cans at schools.)

8. Hit up a casino (It's desperate but it's a way, be smart though.)

9. Sell drugs (If you use them, thats probably why you don't have money, sell them and brake even. Also illegal if you didn't know.)

10. Take advantage of online jobs (Watch out there are a lot of scam sites, but there are also a lot of survey sites and stuff like that.)

And heres a song for today... not related at all to making money

San Diego Chargers

Well I realized I've posted many things I like, but never posted anything about my favorite team of all time, the Chargers. I just watched a very good game where we matched up against the Texans and managed to win the game by 6 points. It came all the way down to the last drive and was finished by Paul Oliver intercepting a pass off of their star receiver Andre Johnson who bobbled a pass and kneed it launching it into our players hands.

A little history on the chargers in very recent years, Chargers have been going to the postseason consistently since '06, each year starting slow but making our way there, '08 we came back from a 4-8 record. Last year we made were in the divisional finals against the Jets and our kicker, Nate Kaeding, missed 3 field goals so we lost 14-17. It was devastating, but not as sad as our start this year. Even though many people predicted the Chargers to be a super bowl contender, we have been loosing all over the place because of our stupid special teams. It's been a combination of blocked punts, kickoff returns, and fumbles. Another big factor is that our star running back (HB) and wide receiver (WR) have not been on our team. LT (our previous HB) ended up getting traded cause he's old, and Vincent Jackson (6'6 WR) is not playing because he wants to make more money (being a bitch). We managed to lead the league in yards per game and yards allowed per game, that's number 1 in offense and defense, yet were still only 4-5 and the team that is leading our division is at 6-3. It has been a rough start but today was our first win away from home. I still have faith.

Here's a video summery of the game

Puns

Ok well growing up my dad was always known for his jokes, which were always puns. As kids we called them daddy jokes but after hearing them each hundreds of times we kinda stopped laughing and started groaning. Sad thing is that I've ended up saying them once in a while. In light of this I thought todays post would be some horrible puns, I'm sorry followers, your welcome dad.


So I went to an asian renasaunce fair... found a chink in my armor.

You hear about the detergent race... I think they're tide.

So this scarecrow got a nobel prize... he was the best in his field.

There was once a cross-eyed teacher... he couldn't control his pupils.

I was wondering why the baseball was getting larger... then it hit me.

So I heard the energizer bunny was arrested... charged with battery.

It's not that I hated school... just the principle of it.

I use to have a fear of hurdles... then I got over it.

The skiing competition started poorly... went downhill from there.

Russia was slow to recover after WWII... it kept stalin.

A bicycle can't stand alone... its too tired.

I've never tipped a cow... then again, one has never served me food.

I tried to write with a broken pencil... then I realized it was pointless.

Campground burned down... the heat was in tents.

Changed my ipods' name to titanic... its syncing now.

Did you hear about the guy who cut off his whole left side... he's all right now.

I should of been sad when my flashlight battery died... but I was delighted.

Did you hear about the new stage production about the dictionary... its a play on words.

Hangover Cures

Well it's friday and I bet about this time tomorrow I will be feeling pretty shitty. So I thought today I would supply you guys with some great hangover cures. I looked up what the best hangover cures are and 90% of them were mixed drinks with hot sauce and stuff like that. I have heard of that but when I wake up after a long night of drinking the last thing I want to do is drink more, even if it helps. So I'm going to write a little list of my own, here's the 'Top Ten'.

1. Prevention - Don't drink, you wont be hungover... ok well I know that's not going to be happening so how about this if you do drink, sleep with the biggest glass of water you can find and finish it by morning.

2. Water (Lots of it) - Alcohol dehydrates you, with every beer or shot you effectively loose more water then you take in.  Being dehydrated causes seering headaches (sound familiar). You can drink it in the morning but I would recommend drinking during the night.

3. Sports Drinks - When you drink you don't just loose water, you loose minerals and electrolytes, Gatorade and stuff light that can refill whats lost.

4. Pain Medication - Ibuprofen, Tylenol and stuff like that are made to reduce headaches, they will do what they are made for. (I also heard that vitamins B-6 and B-12 can greatly reduce the effects of one)

5.Tripe Soup - Folks down in Mexico swear by this, realisticly you probably wont have this sitting around but I thought I'd put it on the list anyway.

6. Bacon, Eggs and Toast - Usually my cure being that its so easy to make and I always have this stuff sitting around. Food in your stomach helps soak up the alcohol left over so the more you eat the better you feel later.

7. Greasy Food - McMuffins or something like that, why? Because you already feel like shit and you spent all your money on booze.

8. Marijuana - Weed has been used for many generations to cure nausia, and who knows you might forget about your headache.
 
9. Sleep - Doesn't need an explanation.

10. All of the above - Wouldn't hurt

*Basically* If you are so hungover that you know you will be in bed most of the day I recommend, smoking a bowl, making a greasy breakfast, eating it with a huge glass of water, then going back to bed (with more water).

What do you do to cure your hangovers?

It's time for some: GOOD MUSIC

Well I haven't posted much music on my blog but the two songs I have posted on this blog got a lot of positive reviews. So I'm going to hit you with some music, was originally going to be a straight hip hop music post but my friend just showed me an awesome psychedelic metal song so I decided to broaden this post. I posted two amazing hip hop songs and a awesome psychedelic song. I hope you listen and enjoy these.
always with love,
 evan b

pro tip (first song for dudes, second song for girls, third song for trippers)

(Update: Well I don't like posting long posts but when I posted  this piece I felt there's a couple more songs that people would enjoy.)

Too serious?

It came to my attention that my blog got a little too serious recently, hopefully this will change that. (click to enlarge so you can read)

PETA sucks

I live in Arcata in Humboldt county, one of those most hippy dippy places in the US. It bugs me when I see people talk about all these different organizations that claim to be helping the planet or helping the animals but don't actually research the stats to find out if they really are helping. I say if you want really want to help the earth, plant some trees or buy a couple acres in the rainforest (its not that expensive) or if you want to help animals then adopt one, or donate to directly to the cause. There are many pounds and rescue centers that will accept donations in the form of money or dog beds/toy, find those locally and spread your love that way. Peta is just a big corporation, you know how those work, they are just trying to make money. It might have started as a way to help animals but it sure as hell didn't work out. Don't waste your money so they can put it into ads to get more people to put money into their corporation. Be smart about how you donate so you are sure your money is actually helping the cause.
