Russell Crowe Knows Martial Arts.

Wednesday, June 29th, 2005

I’m totally crazy and you guys could care less about what I think, but I’m going to comment on some stuff going on in our beautiful world anyway. As I’ve said before: When I get extremely famous and reach near-deity status, you’ll be able to ride the wake of my success as some of the first readers of andrewwelsh.net. And when my power is fully realized, the first thing I’m going to do is make sure that Kroger stores everywhere put $3.49 PER POUND! on their salad bar signs. It won’t really matter for me though, because I’ll have free and unlimited access to supermarket produce everywhere, but I’m just looking out for the welfare of my slaves—err… I mean the general populous.

Land of the Zombie Dogs.

Even though I didn’t get anything productive done, the weekend was one of the more fun that I’ve had in a while. Well, Friday at least. The rest was fairly dull.

Pirated CD’s Are Worth $Tons

Friday, June 24th, 2005

Man, I’ve been posting a ton lately. That’s probably not as much a good thing as I’d like to think. Anyway, this one will be short and sweet. Well, maybe no so much sweet. I stumbled across an article about music piracy and thought it was pretty outrageously stupid. I have no idea where the numbers came from, and whoever wrote the article doesn’t really seem to either, but supposedly one in three CD’s sold is bootlegged. The illegal music market was “worth an estimated $4.6bn (£2.5bn) in 2004,” which is a great statistic to know since it means that the guys selling illegal CD’s are reporting their revenue at least.

I’m Utterly Insane.

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

Yesterday on the way home from work I was behind a dude who had a bumper sticker that read, “Cross Country: too tough for time outs!” I really have no idea how tough cross country is, but the validity of the claim came into question when right next to the cross country sticker was a Weezer sticker. I know plenty of respectable people who love Weezer, but I’m not sure that the best way to defend your manliness and toughness is to flaunt your obsession with both cross country and Weezer on the back of your dumpy little sedan. Either bumper sticker would have been better backed up with one that said, “My other car is a grenade launcher,” or “Cross Country: where the losers get eaten by dinosaurs.”

Buy My iPod.

Wednesday, June 22nd, 2005

Okay boys and girls, I’ve got a magic surprise for you! Well, it’s not really magic or a surprise, but it’s awesome nevertheless. I’m going to attempt to sell my iPod. I’m not getting rid of it because it’s defective or I’ve decided that they’re evil. No, the truth is that I feel like I’ve come to a point in my life where 15GB just isn’t enough space. Plus, I think I’d lead a much happier life if I owned an iPod that has a color screen and can display pictures.

Though there probably haven’t been more than two people to see this since I originally posted it, there’s a new edit down at the bottom.
