Rocket Ship to Hell

So Jozette found a great idea and borrowed it for her own.  I love it.

To double quote:

{The following excerpt is taking directly from the mouth of the I *Heart* You blog.}

Sometimes I will read a news story (okay gossip blog) and think, “Oh my god, if I have to read about or see one more picture of insertnamehere I am going to vomit!!” And then I think about if I had a rocket ship with 5 seats on it and I could put whoever I wanted on it and blast that f*cker into outer space, who would I choose to fill the 5 seats.
So here’s my list:
  1. John McCain. Seriously dude, you scare the fuck out of me.
  2. Hillary supporters who are sad and say they’re now going to vote for McCain. So your candidate lost. Boo-fucking-hoo. I voted for Kucinich, or I would have if PA didn’t have its primary so fucking late in the season that he had long since dropped out. You rarely get to vote for your first choice in the general election, it’s just the way the system works. If you’re really so childish that you’re going to vote for a guy who thinks Unky Sam has more right to say what you do with your body than you do purely out of spite, kindly do the world a favor and get off of it. The grownups are trying to fix things.
  3. Tom Cruise. Do I even need to explain this?
  4. Paris Hilton. When I look at what a waste you made of your life, I feel bad for the millions of your potential siblings that never got a chance just so you could. When I see how America idolizes you, I hate our freedom!
  5. Tyra Banks. You are probably the most self-centered human alive.
ETA: Honorable Mention: Oprah. You have such a powerful public voice, and yet you squander it by pimping crap like The Secret and Dr. Phil. You are hurting America.

I can haz idea?

So I have an idea. I really wish that there was a single good blog about fun things going on in Philly. I know about Philebrity and uwishunu, but Philebrity is too damn hard to read, and uwishunu doesn’t have an RSS feed. I think there’s a big blog shaped hole out there.

I want to fill that hole, the problem is, I don’t know about 99% of the crap that goes on in this city. I’d like something well-written that would cover events of all types. So really, this is a call to action. Who wants to help me?

Goin’ Vertical

Killed a 5.7 last night, barely. I think ima call bull shit on it being a 5.7 though, maybe 5.7 holds with a few 5.9 moves. I really need to start going on a regular basis. Today I feel like I got kicked in the gut repeatedly. Maybe it was from trying to race cars on my way home. I think I need clippy pedals for my bike.

Wherein Matt Brags About Exercising

Biked to the gym for the first time last night. Made it in about a half hour, not too bad. Climbing wasn’t so hot, only really managed a couple of 5.6s. I really need to start going regularly. On the way back to the apartment after climbing though I think DiToro only beat us by a couple minutes and he was driving, not too bad at all. Found out Chaucer’s got bought and will be closing, that made me sad, but then we rediscovered Grace’s Tavern. FYI, Chipotle Ale is even more delicious than it sounds.  

Well looky here

If you haven’t seen Stardust…

get off your ass.

Please stop this man

Friday night…

So…Friday night…Went out with some work people for happy “hour”. We have this funny way of defining the word hour, where it can mean any amount of time up to a day it seems. Went to Marbar around 7ish. Everyone was complaining about the heat already, this was before the gates of Hell opened in Center City and unleashed the heat of doom<tm>. Marbar consisted of a bit of dinner, and more than a bit of drinking. After some amount of time we decided Irish Pub would be a fun idea. More drinking happened, met up with Tara, lost everyone else (I think Grant was abducted by aliens who forgot he came with a bag). 4am, I was in bed. All in all, great justice.

Dear Celebrities

Dear Celebrities,

Please do us all a favor and STFU. Stick to acting, or being rich, or whatever it is you do that makes you famous.  Please leave medicine to doctors, and science to scientists. You are not smarter than they are. You have not uncovered some grand conspiracy, you are just an idiot with a stage. Autism is not caused by vaccines, 9/11 was not a government conspiracy. Please do the world a favor and stop talking.

Love,

Matt

Of Mice and Bartenders

MATT (to Ryan): …So anyway, the guy is effed now

JESS (a bartender): Did you just say effed?

MATT: Yeah… sometimes you just don’t want the “fuck”

JESS: Oh, I always want the “fuck”

MATT chokes on his beer

Shame she’s got a ring…
