Swift kick to the nuts...

I saw a guy on the Marta this morning that looked like this guy. When I saw him I immediately thought of this picture and I also realized how fortunate I am...

While at work I began going through my google reader stuff and came across this bedset:


click here for more info on this bedset.

It might be just me...but I feel some type of way about this $140+ bedset and although I respect the artistic side of it...I still feel like its a swift kick to the nuts...Again it might be just me...

Internet down, Cable up!

I know I said I was going to put up pics from my Las Vegas extravaganza...my fault my internet is down right...f*cking Comcast!!! They will be up soon...

But my cable is up so I'll be watching the presidential debates tonight!!!! Should be pretty good....although McCain is the "underdog", I've seen him in debates before and he is pretty on point...he may not win any merits for motivational speaking but dude knows his stuff...

But I have confidence in my homeboy, Barack...dude knows his stuff as well...and since the focus of this debate will be shifted towards economics (I think/hope), it'll be interesting to see how and what direction each candidate will go.

Since Obama is more in touch and in tuned w/ ppl and economics, he will do great and I believe he will go up 1 over McCain.

***Side note: I heard McCain sat quietly in yesterdays meeting at the White House...Who "suspends" their campaign and ask to reschedule a debate so they can return to Washington and sit in a room...quietly?!? What an idiot!!!!



Obama 08!

On empty


Oh yea, I heard that Altanta (and now other cities) are running out of gas due to Hurricane Gustav and ppl's overreaction and widespread panic...

...thanks for giving me a reason to work from home next week!

I'm back...kinda


Although I'm physically back in ATL...mentally, I'm still in Las Vegas....

I was gone for 5 days but it seems and felt like it was a lot longer than that...1 hr. in Vegas seems like 3 hrs...days are long and nights are even longer.

I hardly slept...on the 1st day, I think I was awake for almost 24 hrs (been a while)and for the rest of the trip I averaged 4 hrs or sleep a day....it eventually caught up w/ me though i.e. today...I'm jet lag'd and tired but somehow I made it to work this morning...

I'll try to post pics later on tonight...My computer is acting dumb right now but I'll see what it's talking about when I get home.

Las Vegas is Sin City and the other City That Never Sleeps...


Thanks for tuning in...I'll get back at cha laters!

Creating a favicon

For Stew and all the other bloggers out there...

Favicon: also known as a website icon, or shortcut icon; it is an icon associated with a particular website or webpage.

Example below: click to make larger!



Step 1: find an image

Step 2: create an Favicon.ico image
-Use this site to create it: IconJ
a. upload image, then click the "Upload it!" button.

Step 3: You can either download it or it have them host the picture.
Just to make things simple...have them host the image...copy the code under the "Host It at IconJ.com: (Direct Link) section"


Step 4. Here's where it gets just a little tricky. You will need to edit your Blogger template. I got a little nervous doing this the first time I did it and you should always back up (SAVE IT!!!) your template before you change it!

Ok...so go to your blog and click on "Layout" in the Dashboard. Then click the "Edit HTML" tab.

Now you will need to search for the word “title” , this should be inside the header tags. You should find something that looks like this:


Just after that line, paste the text you copied from Icon J's in Step 3. After you have pasted it, click "Save Template" then refresh your blog and KA-BOOM!!! you should see a little icon next to your web address!

If you are having problems, leave a comment and tell me...

If you get it to work let me know as well...

Live Long and Prosper,

Kid a.

Watch ya mouth...No Homo

my lb, quiet, introduced me to this phrase "Pause aka No Homo" four & 1/2 yrs ago...it was funny at first, especially when he said it, but when everyone followed suit...it got outta hand. It was so bad that you couldn't even have a convo w/ some ppl...every other word flying outta their mouth was "No Homo"...

Here is an old person's guide to the "No Homo" phrase.

by Jay Smooth


thanks niki for putting me on to this guy (No Homo)...he is pretty good (No Homo).

The Polls...

CNN, MSNBC, and other sources are claiming that the Presidental polls are even once again...

My question is "Who the f*ck are they asking to do these surveys?" They're not asking anyone I know...

CNN, MSNBC, etc, claim the "bounce" is due to McCain' VP and running mate, Sarah Palin...really??? hmm...

To McCain-Palin and their supporters worldwide, I watched the RNC and I'm not impressed...

Niki, your latest post summarize my sentiments as well.

"When Thousands Of People Is Ralied Up To See You
That Can Arouse Ya Ego, [Bbut] You Got Mouths To Feed So
Gotta Stay True To Who You Are And Where You Came From
Cuz At The Top Will Be The Same Place You Hang From
No Matter How Big You Can Ever Be
For Whatever Fee Or Publicity Never Lose Your Integrity"

Amazon called...

As expected my order was canceled...it was worth a try.

46" LCD = $38.45

I just bought 4 46"lcd from amazon for $550!!!!!!

Someone at Amazon seriously f*ck'd up b/c they marked a 46" Sharp Aquos LCD TV for $38.45...no joke, check the pic.


******UPDATE****************************************************************
Unfortunately, the price is correct now...but my transaction receipt still reads $38.45...
*****************************************
*************************************

I immediately called my credit card company and the reassured me that if the price is incorrect and the company realizes it after you made the order, they that can't charge me more unless they contact me 1st and if I agree to the "new/correct" price.

There were other tv's marked down to $40 in various sizes...but they were gone/corrected by the time I found out.

Worst case scenerio: the company cancels my order I get my $$$ back.

So we'll see what happens...I'll probably get a phone call on Monday from Amazon to tell me that they are canceling the order...

Thank you GIZMODO (<- click for article) for the heads up!
