Humorous Irony

I’m not going to make this really long. But, I’m upset and rightfully so. I mean this just down right sucks. I bought a pair of Merrells for the first time about 4 months ago. You know… the newest coolest hiking/sport shoe that’s water proof and you don’t have to tie these. They have an elastic chord : -) A couple of my good friends have swore by them and are in love with them. On top of that, Bear Grylls from Man vs Wild wears them exclusively on his show. And I’m not going to argue with that guy about what shoe he should wear when backpacking through African jungles. So that’s settled. Sooo… the other day I go down to tighten them up by pulling the elastic chord a little and guess what? The freaking stupid chord just snaps! Is it that horrible? No. The frustrating thing is I bought these shoes in Missouri about 6 hours away from here in Quincy. That means I can’t have these fixed here in Quincy. Nobody sells Merrells here. And it’s just a silly little elastic chord that needs replaced. I think I’m going to give Merrell a call and ask for a replacement string. I think I might just do that.

Trying out Netflix

So I just signed up for a new Netflix membership. I’m kinda skeptical though. As soon as I signed up for it everybody told me that Blockbuster via mail was the way to go. I’m on a free two week trial basis with Netflix, so that’s good. I also get 10 hours of free movies per month on my computer that I can access at anytime from any new releases. Not to shabby. Luck would have it though that Netflix doesn’t support Mac software for their free online movies. Ya, exactly. Who ever thought having a Mac would have a downside! So I’m pretty sure I’m switching to Blockbuster via mail. I was told for every movie you get in the mail you get a free coupon for one free movie at your local Blockbuster store. So ya, goodbye Netflix! Either way, this has to be one of the coolest things I have discovered so far. It’s a brilliant idea that makes my life just a little more complete. And I’m “that guy” that racks up huge pointless late fees. Another nice perk.

Man vs Wild

CHECK this video out! I have been watching this show Man vs. Wild for the last year or so. The host, Bear Grylls, former SAS British Special Air Forces soldier and survival guide expert is as crazy of a guy you will ever see! Via helicopter, parachute or landrover, this guy will be dropped off in the middle of the most extreme places on earth only to get completely lost with only a knife and flint. He does some crazy and stupid things though. Eating snakes alive, dead sheeps eyeballs, pissing on a shirt and wrapping it around his head to avoid deyrdration in the middle of the desert are only a few examples. This guy really does anything and everything he can think of. You have to wonder if you could ever be able to at least keep up with a guy like this in the wild. Although I don’t think I will be in half of the places he gets dropped off, it’s cool to know I at least have the same shoes he wears on the show! Good ole’ Merrells. That, and the British Special Air Forces aren’t to shabby. This guy could kill most anybody unarmed in hand to hand combat. Stud.

Oh Snap

Okay, this afternoon when I got home my brother showed me this picture. All I can say is what an idiot… I just thought I would share this picture with you guys : -)
