Here is a quote I completely agree with.........

"There should be a law passed stating that anybody who reveals the last five minutes of a film should be hung from their neck until dead." -Stephen King


That is something that I could not agree with more. He is talking about the end of the movie he has coming out called "THE MIST". But it should be true of any movie.

I was looking around today .........

and I found this article.


L.A.'s unwritten rules of the road are keys to survival

"Newcomers to Los Angeles learn something real quick about the way things work here: There are the official Department of Motor Vehicles rules of the road and then there are the unofficial L.A. rules.

And if you want to survive these mean streets, you need to understand both.

One L.A. rule works like this: If you're waiting behind cars in a left-turn lane, never expect to go when the arrow turns green.

The first driver in line will almost always be distracted and fail to notice that the precious green arrow is lighted until the last few seconds before it again turns red.

Then the driver will punch the gas and get through the intersection - leaving the rest in line angrily muttering about dimwits until the next green arrow arrives.

Expect the cycle to repeat.

Here's another rule: When on the freeway in gridlock, don't expect drivers to use their blinkers to signal when they want to change lanes.

They'll just slide over in front of you without any advance warning.

Some of these lane-changers believe it's pointless to use blinkers because other motorists are so steamed about sitting in traffic that they won't let anyone get in front of them. So, it's just best to cut them off.

Sound familiar?

Even Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich has compiled a "how to" guide for driving in Los Angeles County.

It hit home when he read it last week to a crowd of business
people and other L.A. officials who had just made their way through maddening traffic to attend an 8 a.m. meeting in Burbank:

Morning rush hour is from 5 a.m. to noon. Evening rush hour is from noon to 7 p.m. Friday's rush hour starts Thursday morning.

The minimum acceptable speed on most freeways is 85 mph.

If you actually stop at a yellow light, you will be rear-ended, cussed out and possibly shot.

MapQuest does not work here. None of the roads are where they say they are, or go where they say they do. All of the freeway off- and on-ramps are moved each night.

If you are in the left lane and only driving 70 in a 55- to 65-mph zone, you are considered a road hazard and will be flipped-off accordingly. If you return the flip, you'll be shot.

Although all rules are subject to change, generally these are ideas to keep in mind when hitting the road in L.A. No doubt there are plenty more.

But there's no class motorists can attend to learn them. No handbook either. It's a roadside behavior that gets embedded in your psyche if you ever want to get anywhere in this jampacked city.

So if you have friends coming to town, please share these rules with them before they arrive.

That way they're already in-the-know about our rules.

Because in the City of Angels, we don't like anything that messes with our commute."




I read it and thought that is exactly how I think while driving. This hit 100% right on. I don't know how many times Mapquest and similar services have gotten me lost.I finally had to resort to the Thomas Guide because that way it gave me a better way of getting unlost. The only part of this article I had any beef with is the rush hour times. 5 in the morning is not the start of the morning rush hour. I am always surprised at how busy the freeways are when I get off at 3 in the morning. I am going to make a statement saying that there is no rush hour. There are rush days! that applies to Monday Thru The Next Monday.

So Earlier this week.................

I did something I hadn't done in a while. I finished reading a book. No it wasn't Velvet Elvis I finished. (I finished that in July)(I started that in March). The amazing thing is I read this particular book in two days. It just sucked me in. You have probably hard of the television show or even the movie this was made into. It was called "MASH: A Novel Of Three Army Doctors." I love the television series I own the whole set. And the movie I thought was funny but never really got. Then I read this book. After I finished it I had to watch the movie again. (the movie is a lot closer to the book the the television show because that was developed out of the movie). The movie was a whole lot funnier after reading because they explain stuff in the book that they don't in the movie. And I felt like had an inside track to the movie. The book is an easy read, but is is not a young persons book. It isn't obscene it is just young people wouldn't necessarily get some of the things that are brought up. Next I think I am going to try to tackle "Rise To rebellion" by Jeff Shaara. I have started that book a couple of times but because I am not a diligent reader haven't gotten very far into it. As for "Velvet Elvis" it is written by Rob Bell, and if you haven't read it yet I would strongly recommend reading it. He brings up some really good discussion points. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

So today while I was sitting here youtubing it..................

all day. Well most of the day. I also watched the USC destruction of Notre Dame. Back to the subject of the post. There is a scene from the show SCRUBS that I just can't get out of my head. It is a scene that shows the greatness and randomness of the show. It features Carla asking Turk if their son wanted to take dance while his friends play football. Turk then proceeds to start singing "Safety Dance". The song is from the early eighties by the band MEN WITHOUT HATS. It is the only song of theirs to catch hold here in the states. Also I found that the episode "My Bright Idea" features the song "All of the Words" by Kutless. (which happens to be one of my favorite bands). The scene is where Carla finds out that she is pregnant. To me I don't really get how the song fits in this scene, but who cares kutless made into primetime television. It rocks.

Here is the scene with Turk doing his thing......

Also after you watch the real song shows up as the second little box below.


And here is the scene featuring Kutless..........

Changes.........

Just the colors have changed. I also made some little minor changes around the page but that is just because i think I am funny. Also The two video bars on the page (sidebar and footer) have been categorized as music video and sitcom/interesting in the respective place. And maybe I will update this thing more often.

What a weekend...............

This was almost the most forgettable weekend ever. First USC loses to Stanford. Yeah you read that right. With John David Booty looking exactly like his name Booty. Then the Angels get swept in the first round of the playoffs. I hear people saying well at least it was a fun season. I say it was not a fun season. Who cares about the season. That does not matter. The only thing that matters is OCTOBER. And no matter how much we need it Stoneless is not gonna do anything this offseason to help us win. The only thing that saved this from being the worst weekend ever is the fact that the Eagles didn't lose. They couldn't because they had a bye. Oh the pains of being a sports fan.
