Ok, the other day I made a promise to make a mix for someone based on my soundtrack from my early years of college. She wants a mix based on my early college years. I have decided to give her an autobiographical soundtrack from my early years. These are the songs that I remember (in no particular order):
Widespread Panic - Airplane, Can't Get High, Til The Medicine Takes (album)
Kid Rock - Cowboy, Batwitababa
Limp Bizkit - Nookie, N 2 Gether Now
Palo Alto - Naked Sorority Girls
Shaggy - It Wasn't Me, Angel
Charlie Mars Band - Broken Arrow
Fatboy Slim
Eminem - My Name Is, Guilty Conscience
The Gourds - Gin & Juice
Better Than Ezra - Desperately Wanting
O.A.R. - Crazy Game of Poker
I know there have to be other songs, but I have scrolled through my old cds and I can't find anything else off the top of my head. I'll look through again, but it is weird looking back through my old mixes. I hope to find a better way to complete my mix than looking through my current crop of old mixes. I hope to find them.
By the way, I forgot it's TCM's 31 days of Oscar. I landed on the channel earlier for the very end of the African Queen. Great film. Now Casablanca is starting. Thank the Lord, because there are only reruns on TV. Great South Park episode though: "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow." This is the episode where Cartman and Stan cause a flood in a town and everyone in South Park blames everything under the sun except the actual boys who did it even after they confess. Anywho, you need to turn on to TCM.
Speaking of Casablanca, they just showed Rick for the first time and he is drinking champagne from the old style of glass. Not the flute, but I believe the punch glass?
FYI: The title of this post has nothing to do with the post other than the fact it is one of my favorite lines from Casablanca.
Ok, I'm not going to bore you anymore. Have a wonderful evening.
Quote of the Post (from Casablanca):
Yvonne - "Where were you last night?"
Rick - "That was so far back, I don't remember."
Yvonne - "Will I see you tonight?"
Rick - "I never make plans that far ahead."

Who Else Has Been Drinking?
Ok, so I leave work at 4:35 (5 minutes after work ends) on the end of the month. I go to Clay's house. We have a few drinks. Go to El Porton at Highland & Poplar in the shopping center. All I have to say is, I had a great time. Having a few drinks with my buddies. Eating mexican. Oh I hope I don't have a hangover tomorrow. Oh well, it is almost 12. I'm going to bed after I play a few games of addiction solitaire.
Goodnight all you Mrs. Robinsons in Memphs.

How Big of a Male Whore Am I?
I was screwing around on the net earlier and found a link to the slut-o-meter (http://www.slut-o-meter.com/). So what do I do? I put in my name and here's the result:
Promiscuity: 16.67% (1/6)
Popularity: 1
I have no idea what this means so I click the link for "about" to find out what the hell is going on. So this is what I find:
"How It Works
Slut-o-meter evaluates the promiscuity of the subject you enter by comparing the number of Google search results with and without "safe-search" enabled. A complete slut would return unsafe results and no safe results. Alternatively, a clean name should produce the same number of safe and unsafe results. The "promiscuity" percentage we give you is calculated as follows:
Popularity
Simply put, this is the number of times this slut has been searched for.Negative Promiscuity? Huh?
If you're wondering why some subjects have a negative promiscuity, well, you're not alone. In general, this happens when the number of safe results is greater than the number of unsafe results (or if there are no unsafe results whatsoever). We're not quite sure why this is the case, but we believe that Google is not telling us the truth."
As Eddie Izzard would say: "Qua?" (sorry I don't know French so I just type it like it sounds.)
So I say to myself, "Wait, this won't tell me what kind or how big of a slut I am? Bastards!" So read on and this is what it says:
"The Story
One day in Africa (no kidding), Joël and Adam came up with the idea of using Google to determine how sluttly an individual is. Over a year has passed with no action and the idea was almost forgotten. At SuperHappyDevHouse the idea was resurrected and was quickly brought to life in a matter of hours. The public demonstration of the first Slut-o-Meter showed a person's promiscuity rating with live integration into Firefox using a Greasemonkey script. At that time, the application was a faceless web service with a simple REST interface. Tamiko contributed her design skills and assembled the logo. Since then, Brian has taken over the Slut-o-Meter and turned it into a nifty web service with statistics galore. Enjoy!"
Oh yes! That's what I want to hear. Wait no it isn't. This is nothing more than a means of checking to see how big of an internet 'social' whore you are. Damn. So if I get my name put on the internet a bunch of times, I'll be more of a slut? Wait I'm confused. WHY CAN'T YOU TELL ME IF I'M A SLUT OR NOT? Ok, I think this is a real painful lie that will take me years of therapy to overcome. Ok, find my center. I need my own animal in my mind like in Fight Club. Ok, let's see, where is that damn penguin telling me to slide? Ok, I have a giraffe telling me to leave him alone. Wait you're supposed to be some image that gives me an answer until you later turn into Helena Bonham Carter. I am depressed. I know maybe I can be like some women I know and eat about 5 gallons of ice cream in my pajamas and let my tears sweeten it as they fall into the bowl. Yea!
Seriously though, if you are going to have a slut-o-meter, let's let it really be about promiscuity. You put in your age, number of people you've slept with, etc. I'd think that you would have to look at it a period-of-life way. Example:
In high school, for X number of years I slept with # of girls.
In college, for X number of years I slept with # of girls.
For the first 4 years after college, I slept with # of girls.
And so on and so on. Think about it though. If your ratio from college to post college decreased in the same amount of years, you are becoming less promiscuous:
(assuming you were not a virgin when you got to school or you lost it immediately at school to keep things even) in 4 years of college you were with 15 women, your ratio is 15/4. In 4 years after college you were with 7 women, your ratio is 7/4. I don't have a calculator to tell you the exact %. Sorry. But obviously there would be variables such as "well I dated one woman for two of the four years after college." If you were faithful for that time, then you could say that it was 6/2. Wait it's not a percentage thing. That would just find out how many you were sleeping with on average over that time. Then you'd have to adjust for degrees of sex: oral and beyond or does the handling of equipment count? I'm not really going to worry about I guess. Holy crap, it is 12:35 AM, and I am thinking about the degree of slut you can be. Let's go ahead and put this on the record: you can do whatever you want, but the moment you no longer feel good about your actions when you are by yourself is when you become a slut. Sounds good to me.
Badass! The girl who drove me to high school is in the new Twix commercial! Sarah Morris was the student council president at the all-girls school next day when I was a freshman. She was hot then and is hot now. She plays the daughter of the boss in this commercial. She was also one of the most recent Hummer H3 commercials. She's goldilox in the three bears commercial. She was also in an episode of that Undressed show on MTV. She took her shirt off just before the show completely 180-ed to another plot line (I think you had to be on drugs to keep up with their episodes). Anywho, my young 9th grade crush quickly returned to me in my sophomore year of college. But it was fleeting as I only saw the episode a few times and quickly realized I was at Ole Miss and I WAS AT OLE MISS! There were beautiful women everywhere!

Emails and other THANGS
Does anyone else receive emails from the generation above? You know our parents and their friends. Or as some of us call them the "internet-logically-challenged". I got the Glade - Plugin Causes Fires email today. WTF? Who believes this crap? Visit Snopes (http://www.snopes.com) and verify this crap. I don't think it's that hard. Learn from your kids; afterall we've spent the past 20-35 years learning from you.
Oh yea, what is up with those new Krystal commercials? Are they really trying to push drunk driving in the South? You've got the one with the college guy who piles into his SUV with about "nineteen" of his friends. They drive across town and get loads, loads, and loads of Krystal burgers and chiks. Then mysteriously the next day, he opens his door (WHILE HE'S PARKED IN THE GRASS BY THE FRONT DOOR) and fifty thousand Krystal boxes fall out. Amazing how he can park and doesn't remember leaving all those boxes in there. Nice commercial.
It's almost as good as the one with the three girls. There are three girls (surprise, I just said that). One is the Crazy One (read: slutty). One is the Laid Back One (read: missionary position on first date and whips/chains by third). One is the Smart One/the Driver (read: the one with the car who can fake a field sobriety test and then ride the cop later). They each have their own type of Krystal they eat based on their personality. Don't worry I haven't watched it enough to memorize them.
General theme between the two commercials? Young college students go out and "party" before going to Krystals. Do you know how the average college student "paries"? Of course you do; they drink heavily (and those are the ones who aren't on drugs!). How many people do I know who go to Krystals at my age (I'm 26 and have friends between 23 and 40)? Lots. How many go during the day? None I know of. How many go late at night after having been at a party/concert/bar? Lots. I guess in reality Krystals is really try to advertise to their demographic. Maybe they should say something like "Please only let your DD talk into the microphone between 10PM and 6AM."
TV report: Caught Grey's Anatomy last night. It was good. Overall theme for our little doctors/horn dogs was compassion. That's cool except that the only one who had compassion before the show was the dude with syphilis (I don't know how to spell it. Sorry). The one Izzie (Kathryn Heigel) is/was in love/like with (whatever you want to call it). He actually looked and acted like a real doctor. He sided with the new resident in the flesh eating virus leg deal. Anoyone else notice the new resident is the Sticks in the Hair flight attendant from Meet the Parents/Fockers. I knew I recognized her at first and then it hit me after it was over. Nice job whoever you are. You had a great and memorable character in those movies. But I didn't pick you out as soon as you walked on screen. And that was even after watching the commercials with you in it all week on the show. Nice job. DH was a rerun. I hate these reruns. Let's keep it flowing Hollywood. I don't want two weeks of new shows and then a rerun or two. I just got through the Christmas season (not Holiday Season). I need new episodes. Now! Stat!
BTW I just noticed that How I Met Your Mother is a friggin' rerun tonight! C'mon!!! I need some good doses of bland 20-30 somethings struggling with their love lives to make me forget my love life (still not for discussion, sorry). After all, isn't that what the premise of the show is?
Ok, I'll talk more about the SINGLES ONLY PARTY in a later post.
