The Perils Of Wild Meat.

Many a time, I consume the meaty meat products, commonly referred to as meat. Actually, I don’t think it is referred to as anything else, anyway, this is just filler info. So yeah, I eat meat. I think vegetarians are evil and they are in a way, hypocrites. Now, don’t in any way think that I hate vegetarians; I don’t. In fact, I don’t hate any type of person regardless of food orientation, be it dark or light chocolate, caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee or barbeque versus sour cream and onion. Everyone is entitled to eat what they want, especially if they’re in a buffet, unless of course you haven’t paid for it and it isn’t yours, then you aren’t entitled to the given meal.

One should also note that I am paranoid and blow things out of proportion, I am harmless and any hateful thing I say should be treated with the seriousness with which politicians’ promises are given. So when I say that vegetarians are evil, it’s essentially the same as being called a “poo poo head” by a 3 year old. (Or in my case, by a 12 year old with a big head and walks funny) You know, there are vegetarians who claim that they don’t eat meat, and that in effect make them vegetarians. However, there are those who eat egg and fish. Fish is meat, case closed. Egg is meat. Case closed. Okay, the flesh of a chicken is cooked and consumed. It is meat. The chicken is a living thing. The egg, with time, grows into a baby chicken, who would grow to a full grown chicken, whose flesh is consumed. How can one say that egg isn’t meat? Could such persons be implying that yolk is vegetable? Preposterous, considering vegetables come from the earth. Fish are living and have flesh, flesh is meat. How on earth could people eat egg or fish and claim they are vegetarians? Hypocrites, I say! I do hope you see my point. (There is one at the end of every sentence)

Now, I eat meat. I enjoy meat. Meat is good. Actually, meat is very important as it contains some crap that we all need. We are all supposed eat some meat, even a little. Now, there are some perils to meat eating. Some of us venture on the wild side and eat “wild meat”. What is wild meat? I’m glad you ask. (Actually, I’m not because if you did then you’re just giving me more to type and it’s really more of a convention to say that I’m glad even when I’m not, but if you didn’t ask, then kudos to you.) Wild meat is meat that doesn’t come from everyday animals, such as pigs or cows etc. People eat all sorts of wild meats, including Iguana and Armadillo. I just recently was able to eat some Agouti. It’s pretty good. Now, the thing with wild meat is that the animal would be caught by a hunter. In a hunter’s arsenal is usually a, as I like to call “gun”. Guns usually contain “bullets”. Okay I’m done with babying you. Yes, hunters shoot the animals. Oddly enough, a piece of a bullet was found in the wild meat- after it was cooked! That’s it in the picture! Enjoy!

well.....

Okay, here's the deal people, exams are well underway, and i have to give it my undivided attention, so until sometime soon, i'll be away. NO, i am not abandoning the blog and you can be sure that updates will come, just a bit slower, oh and i'm on AIM now, so add me if you so desire, so you can get the witty banter that you read, in REAL TIME, boy, how exciting. Of course, you probably won't see me for a while because of exams, but you can still add me nonetheless.

Hey, you may or may not know that Star Wars Episode III is coming out. It's a movie, pretty lackluster actually, it may be the biggest box-office flop of the year....

Okay, back to reality. While all the other Star Wars junkies are out there waiting in line, why not get the story that happens in between Episode II and III, II.V! It should be up tonight, the entire movie, so go on and download the trailer in the meantime! Enjoy, and let me know what you think of it in the comments.

I'm Rich!


I'm Rich!
Originally uploaded by samureye.
Okay, my initial post via e-mail hit a minor hitch, i had to do some editing, but this post and picture is being sent to my blog entirely via email, this is too cool for school. [edit: I am still getting some problems, i have to post via flickr.com but the pictures are still uploaded, so it's only 50% cool, meh] I just attach the picture and it shows up on the blog, re sized and everything! Now, on with the post.

Yesterday i was left with the duty of clearing out the dryer. I realised that i have been left with this task quite a bit recently- how fun. Now, i don't know why, but it seems every time i clear out the dryer, i always seem to find cash, and it's so strange, i never have to look for it, the money seems to just leap out at you. Usually, if I'm looking for something to wear, and the clothes haven't left the dryer yet, and i go looking for something in the dryer to wear, i usually come out with a shirt and a fat pocket. I might find a dollar or two in there, and coins galore! Of course, most of the time, the money is mine, i just forget to take ANYTHING out of my pocket when i get home.

Yesterday, however, i hit the mother load, i opened the dryer, and took out all the clothes in a great big hug. On doing this, i heard the faintest sound of paper hitting the ground. Now is it just me, or does the sound of money, be it paper or metal, affect people the same way those dog whistles do? So yeah, i look down and see purple. "Wait, did he say purple?" Well yeah, i did, you see, i live in the Caribbean and the cash is different. The denominations are 1, 5, 10, and 15 cent pieces. There is also a 50 cent coin, but it isn't that common, and the dollar coin is pretty rare, but i have all of 'em. In terms of paper, we have a single dollar, which is red, 5 dollar bills, which are green, ten dollar bills, which are darker green, twenty dollars, purple and hundred dollar bills, which are blue. I have all. In case you were wondering, the conversion rate is $6.3 to $1 U.S.

So yeah, i found $40. I could do all kinds of things with that, go see 2 movies and have money left over to go to the Internet cafe (Yeah, i leave home to go to the mall's Internet cafe) or save it. I didn't keep it though, i gave my mom, i can't keep money that isn't mine, especially when it must belong to someone in the house. Okay, so I've found money in public and kept it, big whoop. Now, i have a theory. Going back to the whole money jumping out at you when it's in the dryer, i think it's the dryer sheet. Something happens that makes the money just jump out at people and it is all thanks to dryer sheets. The brand we use is bounce, i believe, maybe you might have more luck with downy, let me know. My advice to all mankind is to walk around with dryer sheets at all times, especially when going to the bank, use the dryer sheets instead of cologne and generally have a few on your person at all times, you'll be richer and you can thank me for it.

Wow, i noticed a huge jump, now i have 8 people subscribing to the blog, how nice, i hope you take the time to comment! i don't want to feel like I'm talking to myself, now would i? I do that enough off the Internet already. But thanks to those of you subscribing.

What, am I not good enough?

I woke up yesterday, groggy, I hadn't slept until about 3 the same morning. I was listening to Kanye West's, "The College Dropout." I love that CD. Anyway, I woke up and went to the kitchen and noticed a box of Cap'N Crunch cereal. This was new to me considering i KNEW that all we had was Trix, Total, Rasin Bran, Corn Flakes and....something else, it slipped my mind. Apparently my mom bought it the day before, at the grocery.

All of this really irrelevant. As i walked into the kitchen and saw the box of serial, the big, bright blue seal caught my eye. "Made in U.S.A for international sales only" was the text branded into the cardboard in that particular area. Now I think to myself that, maybe someone in the U.S. is under the impression that I can't handle "ordinary" cereal. Apparently, because I live in the Caribbean, I have to get a box of factory rejected cereal or something? I mean, why is it that this particular box is ONLY for international sale? So that's why i wonder if i'm not good enough or something.

On the upswing, i'm specialer than all of you because i don't live in the U.S and i get cereal with special tags JUST for people NOT in the U.S. :)
It's all in the P.O.V people.

Brilliant button maker.

It is a bit difficult to use, but it's pretty usefull, i'm talking about the "Brilliant Button maker". I made this button for Scopetech and it's pretty slick.

If you want to add Scopetech to your site, you can get the code here.

I've been having trouble making one for my blog, anyone feeling bored enough, show me what you're making.

Thanks to Signals

Life is important

Do you ever wonder what makes people tick? I mean, really, isn’t it quite obvious that certain people have a mental capacity significantly less than others? Now, I’m in no way trying to get you to think that I’m any kind of brilliant person, I’m probably not, but I at least know I’m smarter than some people. Case in point, there was a murder in the heart of the city some time ago. 16 men went out to get one guy. What the hell is that? Somebody shot the guy as he was coming out the bank, but geez, is the man The Hulk? No! But really, I need to look at the bigger picture, the actual killing. There are stupid people that have a stupid mentality. They think that killing is the answer and respect is everything to them. Respect is everything to them, well then why don’t they respect their fellow human beings? What about respect to God and this little thing he gave us- life.

Story, i think.

Destroy the Web!

Destroy the web! Haha, well I know of a few sites that need to be destroyed, I mean, some websites sure need to get bombed, don't you think? What will Avi do now that he is slowly burning? What will spiderman do now that he is growing mould?


Create your own.

How cool...

I got a shout out from Avi. I am special now.

Sometimes I wonder...

Many times I’ve thought to myself, “Why don’t I get rid of this blog?” I mean, does anyone actually read this blog? What is this blog about? Is it a tech blog? Is it a blog about life? Is it a comedy blog? Well, to give you a specific answer, I have no frickin’ clue. Okay, I lie, I think it’s a bit of everything. While I’m not as professional as the guys over at engadget or boingboing, I’d like to think I have a half decent blog at least. To tell you the truth, I’m for the underdog most of the time, I despise sites such as engadget, boingboing and slashdot. Okay, maybe despise isn’t the best word, I mean, none of those people have done me anything to me, it’s just that I can’t really relate to them. I want to keep it real. Doing news is fine, but I want to tell you what I think, not just give the facts. I’ve applied to other sites to contribute my talents, of course, I use the word talents very loosely, but I know that I want to write and so I’ve contacted some sites about doing articles for them. (now, to tell you the truth, I haven’t given them a fair chance, but I’m content with the “indie” blogs so to speak, but hey, if I was given the opportunity to contribute to one of these blogs, then I’d do so in a heartbeat, they’re popular for a reason ya know…)

The only acceptance I’ve gained is from thenakedgeek, and I haven’t even contacted them in a while. Guys, if you’re reading this, please know that I will contact you and I’m not the kind of person who just disappears, you know what I mean, like at the TechTV, now G4 Forums, where there were a ton of great posters, but then they just vanished. Again, I’m not like that, I’m just busy and I will be hard at work on some content for them sometime in the future, maybe at the end of June. “Why?” you ask? Oh, you didn’t ask, but I’ll tell you anyways, I’ve got exams and I kinda have to, um, what do they call that, oh yeah, study.

Back to the main point of this post. (Boy do I get distracted easily or what? I mean one minute I’m talking about- Oooh…shiny….me like shiny….*ahem*) So does anyone read this blog? I know I must have asked this a million times, it’s just that I enjoy blogging but I know I’m not perfect. I mean, these inane ramblings that I do, they can’t possibly be entertaining now, can they? The last thing I want to do is rant on this blog. I hate ranting, I’d prefer to compare and contrast something. Focusing on one thing irrationally can’t really get you anywhere, though it isn’t totally written off in my book.

Sometimes I feel as if I’m wasting my time, but more importantly, wasting other people’s time, not that that is much of a problem, I mean, if you find a site that you don’t like, then you just move on, but again I’d like to mention that I’m a human being and my blog is a (distorted?) reflection of myself. Needless to say, I’m not a very confident person, even if the odds are in my favor, I always need a nudge from someone, you know, that support you get saying that you’ve done a good job. I do plan to have a much better blog out soon, scratch that, sometime. It will be tech oriented, but it’s not just crunching numbers so to speak, it’ll be real and I won’t “sell out” or commercialize if you know what I mean. I like the tech and I like making people laugh and I have an opinion, what more do you want?

I’m confused, but I’ll continue, I haven’t hurt anyone thus far, so I can only aspire to make my blog like the guys who know what good blogging is.
Still contemplating,
-Evan
