Cigarettea

Just imagine the look on peoples faces when you take one of these special cigarettes from your pocket, drop it into a cup full of water and after a while start enjoying your hot cup of tea. Of course there’s tea, not tobacco inside of these cigarettes and the filter works like a float. Yummie.

Bow to your sensei

I haven't watched this in forever. Paul, my manager at Costco, was telling me about some product we were getting in using a "Kip-esque" voice. For some reason I pulled out, "Bow to your sensei!" from my back pocket. Weird to think that Napoleon Dynamite is a 3 year old movie.



I'm going to go see "Die Hard 12" this afternoon. Maybe I'll review it here. Maybe I won't. All I know is no one wants a round-house kick to the face while I'm wearing this shirt.

Revolutionized by the iPhone

I know I'm nearly 2 weeks late in posting anything about the iPhone but these videos say everything I've felt about how wonderful it was to anticipate the new device. I want one, oh yes. But I think I'll wait until the next generation or two once they've added a few more features.

All in his head

Here's a guy who has time on his hands and a great ear. He claims to have no musical skills whatsoever (ie. can't play drums, piano, guitar, etc...). But I would have to say this guy is a musician. He makes music, does he not?



And after that one he ventured into the duet world.

Not much to say

...and yet so much to say. It's been a month since I last considered posting. I guess that's the perks of working a "real" job - you never spend time on the computer. Let's all say, "YEA!" for Costco.

The only reason I jumped on the blog train at this exact moment is because I found this map that shows all the countries that have not yet adopted the metric system. Once I finish counting them I'll post the number.

There's more going on in life. New life for one. Our next door neighbors - and fast becoming "old" friends - just had a baby girl. Go to http://ineedhugs.blogspot.com/ to see some new born pics.

And as far as the rest of life at the Jodock house, I'll post again soon.

Music in Various Forms

Being a music lover, I find myself searching the web for the sounds that fit my ear best. I am an avid rock 'n' roller when it all comes down, but I am drawn to anything that moves me. I would absolutely love to have a soundtrack running for my life. (That's a fairly common thing, I think. I mean, just look at all the people with headphone cords hanging down their necks. We want to be immersed in a music-driven life.) So I will regularly be posting video links to some of the coolest and most innovative forms of music I can find.

This first one has rocked my socks for over a year now. The fine people of Eastern Asia seem to always be the most daring in trying new things. I mean they have, what, half the world's population in China? You're bound to get a few genetic combinations that produce children who say, "Hmmm. I wonder what happens when I mix this with that and spin on my head while eating this...thing...here."

I give you, DJ Kentaro:

Astoria Trip

Leaving your mark

Julie and I had a fantastic time in Astoria this week. It was less than 3 days away from home but it felt fantastic. I'm still quite relaxed. And then I think about work tomorrow. Then I remember this photo and wonder if our names are still in the sand or if the tide came in by now and shook up the enormous Etch-A-Sketch. I kind of hope so because my cursive sucks.
