No reason.
What’s the least punishable felony that you can commit in Texas? Or are they all the same?
If they didn't already. . .
They should have stretched out HSM to include a High School Musical: The Promenade, and have it be just about them getting ready/getting dates to prom. I’ve only seen the first HSM so I don’t know.
My favorite story . . .
{This is the story I most enjoy telling people, it’s not exactly what it seems, but everything in it is absolutely 100% true}:
I once went on a date with a girl, and I was driving around her neighborhood forever trying to find her house. Finally I found it and when we got in the car I said, “Wow, I almost got lost trying to find your place, it turns out I passed it a couple times and...

I know a good sub place.
While I realize that it’s probably the saddest thing on earth, I increasingly have found myself enjoying eating by myself. Sometimes I go in, sometimes I eat it in the car.

Slogan: “Quality subs that are Sub Quality!”

The more history courses I take the more I find that I don’t identify with American History. My ancestors were from Mexico (cuba), all this talk of patriotism and american spirit, it’s all meh to me.

I made a place for the videos I’ve made because most of them were on Facebook and inaccessible to the masses. (Most of them are embedded from my facebook page so the thumbnails kind of look weird but they play fine).
EDIT: Oh noes! Links were getting crossed. I’ll put the link back up when it gets fixed.

I was just about to buy the little known band, Karate’s entire album collection through Amazon, but with shipping and handling it comes out to 62 dollars.
My cheapness has prevailed, THIS TIME!

The Political Spirit
All these talks of the election remind me of the story of my highschool class president.
He was a friend of mine who won the position by default because he ran uncontested and got zero (0) votes. He didn’t even vote for himself.
He resigned his position after one year.
Good times.
Darla
One of the main managers at my work has been on one of her many vacations this past week, so we got a manager from another store filling in named Darla, and everyone hates her but me. I actually think she’s awesome, because she’s so blunt (mean) and happy (scrutinizing). That’s how I like my managers. People who aren’t afraid to lower themselves to your level and dish your...

The situation is this:
You have just moved to a new area of town and would like to get a pet for your new home. You find that there are two identical pet stores equidistant from your house but in opposite directions. The stores are equivalent to eachother in every way, they both carry the same pets and merchandise and are always equally stocked. You go into one pet store and speak to their...

larryhudson:
Basically, it’s Hype Machine and Muxtape put together.
Check it out. It’s wonderful.
(via matthewb)
EDIT: As seen here, Hypetape doesn’t source tracks from Hype Machine, but searches the web for MP3s by itself. Even cooler! Jarred uses the word ‘hype’ because the Hype Machine were the first to search the web for MP3s and give it to you on a plate.

A Case of Double Mistaken Identity
Now, I’m not sure what to do, what if I go to my history class and be like “Hey! You went to PetSmart yesterday…ha…ha”, and the girl’s like “No”, and it wasn’t her either.
OK, I'm actually going insane (or, A Case of...
***Let me preface this by saying that I normally hate it when people blame their lack of sleep on something the next day, but what happened today can only be blamed on the 8 hours of sleep (as opposed to my usual 10-12) last night.
Today at work a girl and a guy came in and bought some stuff as well as signed up for an over $100 dog training class. The girl works at PetSmart, but she didn’t...

WatchLate Night with Conan O’Brien - October 15th 2008
One of the best shows I've seen in a while
Late Night with Conan O’Brien was insane last night, he licked an old lady, a real old lady too, not a man dressed up as one, and he destroyed several pieces of gift shop proptery. And the entire audience got cupcakes.
Then Bill Murray was the guest, and at first he seemed kind of depressed and dry, but I guess that’s just the way he is now. But Then he sang a song with the Max...

This headline is unfortunate. It makes it sound like he thought he was immortal because he was so fat, and then Ohio was like “Oh yeah?! You wanna put that theory to the test???”
