If you wouldn't die for it, then why fight for it?

About Me


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net
Fact: There are approximately 55 streets with the name "Peachtree" in Georgia. I wondered why it was so damn confusing at first!
Me:
Hi, I'm the MANGLER. I am a Fountaineer (imagine the Captain Morgan's guy, only with blue jeans and less hair). I work in Engineering, sort of. I live in the greater Atlanta Metroplex (haha, sounds important, doesn't it?), and I love to draw, drink, drive, daydream, drool, divorce, dissipate, distil, dominate, download, doze, drift, dwindle, dye, and many other things that start with the letter "D. What else would you like to know?

I like these thoughts and sayings: "Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them" - Albert Einstein.
"For every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness" - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Art is never finished, it is abandonded" - Leonardo Da Vinci "Kind of like marriage" - me
Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right. Henry Ford
The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. ~~~ Albert Einstein
I love the following cartoon - but don't think I'm picking a side. I'm not red and not blue. There is more than one color in the flag and people seem to have forgotton that.

Querría encontrar Esponja Roberto Quadratos Pantalones beber un coca-cola y comiendo frijoles negros delante de una ventana con sus Hermanas mayores. El rumor lo tiene que él vive en una piña bajo el mar. Encuentro que eso fascinando. And for those of you who don't speak Dutch, that not Russian.

Music:

Most of the time it will be "Alternative" = Green Day, Offspring, Sum 41, Avenge Sevnfold, Attraeu, Sevendust, Goldfinger, 311 - things of that genra.
No, Metallica is not mandatory. Need I say more?
But a good Rock or Jazz ensemble is always welcome.
Listen you country people - you know who you are. I'll give you a moment to take your finger out of your nose and finish spittin in the spitoon ... ... ... you need to take your guns out of the rack in the back of yer pickup and shoot the rap boom boxes on wheels.

Movies:

I prefer the front section in the theater (especially when sneaking in 100 proof vodka in a water bottle and being shitfaced while watching Cloverfield).

I love going to the movies because for about 2 hours I can immerse myself in a situation that is not mine. Please shut the fuck up you ignorant dipheads. I didn't pay $10 to hear your phone calls or listen to you opening something in a really loud wrapper.
Oh, I don't know why, but I love Cristopher Walkin Man!!!!!!!!!

MySpace

Television:

The only TV I see is when I'm searching for my socks at her place the next morning.

Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.netNotas Personales: If you continually watch "reality" television shows because you feel a personal connection with the contestants and you are sober or not high at the time, seek help.

Books:


True Crime
Historical Accounts
Revolutionary War period pieces (Um, our revolutionary war)
Architecture
Photography
Photographs of Architecture
Policial satire and humor
Cartography (That means maps you dolts!)
The inner workings of things
Books that explain how and why
Philosophical, analytical, controversial
Nothing religious

Heroes:


Cyanide & Happiness @ Explosm.net

Teachers (for they give us knowledge and reason)
Soldiers (for they protect us abroad when other's lack knowledge or reason)
Police (for they protect us domestically when other's lack knowledge or reason)
Fire Fighters (for they run in when others run out)
Doctors (for I can pay them to touch my privates and its legal)
Parents (for they fuck and we appear)
Friends (for they tolerate me)

An article about cognicence of price, using gas as an example. An interesting read I think.

AS I stand at the gas station filling my tank, the meter tallies how much it's going to cost me. At this station, a gallon is $4.26, and as the meter passes the $20 mark, then the $30, I realize that ...

Coffee Infused thoughts on a Saturday

If a tree falls on the path in the woods, and nobody is around to call bush an idiot, does it make a sound? If it's 88 degrees outside, but "feels like" 103, then why not just say it's 103 outside? If...

I really am allergic to Broward County!

So, the world traveler that I've become post annum has lead me to feel guilty about not going back "home" to see Mom.  I could have gone anywhere, New York, Seattle, London, or even Valperiaso, C...

All Ruts lead to Rome!

The U.S. standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) if 4 feet, 8.5 inches.  That's an exceedingly odd number.  Why was that gauge used?  Because that's the way they built them...
