History Lessons


Maybe I should quit trying to be a history teacher...


or maybe not, i don't really know anymore.


That's may be a tad bit too pessimistic though, 
I would honestly love to teach history for a living.
i just don't love being in college until i'm 27.
I'm too impatient to get the the end.


History teacher is on the short-list 
of jobs that i would be happy doing.
And believe me when I say, it truly is a short-list.


So, besides history teacher, here are a few assorted jobs
that i could happily do for the rest of my life.




1. Paleontologist - Besides my well-pronounced love for dinosaurs 
& the fact that, to this day, I still retain more dinosaur knowledge 
than i'll ever possibly be able to use 
outside of this profession anyhow, 
the idea of spending my time in the Great Basin, 
searching for bones in the hot, dusty sunshine all day appeals to me. 
I've been a rather high-stress person as of late, 
but i feel like i could relax out in the fresh air.



2. BaseballWriter/Sportswriter - Even though i may not look like it,
I harbor a deep love for all things sports. 
I do mean 'all-sports' too, (except NASCAR) 
I try not limit myself to just one. 


That being said, I love baseball so much that it boggles my mind.
I watch spring training games & read rumor sheets constantly.
I can spend hours reading the Yankees platoon outfield situation. 
And not only do i love to watch it & read about it, 
I absolutely love to talk about. 
 I'm always down to discuss the WHIP of NL Central starting pitchers, 
Or debate the importance of Batting Average as compared to OPS.


So i guess, it would be great to have a job that incorporates 
something i spend so much time reading about voluntarily, anyhow.  



3. Professional Wrester - This has more of a physical issue involved. 
I feel like If I had been born maybe... six inches taller, 
i would have already attempted to be a wrestler. 
I feel like i'm clever enough to come up with funny shit to say.
Plus, i'm well known to be able to take a good beating.


Oh, my wrestling name would be "Eddie Coffin"
and I would wear this mask.


I might buy that mask, regardless.



4. Eggplant Wizard - ...Beware my Eggplant Curse.




...also, beats.

"History Lesson, Pt. II" - Minutemen
"Stereo" (Remastered) - Pavement
"Plastic Beach (feat Paul Simon & Mick Jones)" - Gorillaz
"All the Money I Had is Gone" - the Deep Dark Woods
"Real Life" - Tanlines

At the Buzzer


















I don't know what's up with all the basketball references,
but it helped me get through my writers block.

brand new FREE MUSIC for all my good bros.

assorted nonsense II: electric boogaloo

Photo #1: "I bet their coffee tastes likes shit..."


so yesterday, I was walking from the subway
to my cousin's apartment on 34th & 1st in Manhattan.
somewhere along the way, i saw an establishment
with a big neon sign 
& it was called...






that's right...
ASS GRILL.
that seems like a great place to eat, huh?
a nice, hot, steaming plate of meatloaf
from the ASS GRILL sure sounds tasty doesn't it?
stay away from the gravy though...


this is the kind of error that you would imagine
any restaurant or a popular establishment
would fix as it's number one priority.


"what to do today, hmmmm...
order new place mats, check....
re-stock the "no pointy end" toothpicks in the handicap bathroom, check...
change the sign of my restaurant so it no longer reads ASS GRILL in neon letters...
fuck that noise, i'll do it tomorrow."


why do i feel like i've seen something like this before?


no no, not that one..



Yeeaaaaaaah.
"East Nasty Buffet" never gets old...




Photo #2: Godzilla & Mothra go to a baseball game...




"Hey, bro"
"Hey"
"Soooo, I had no idea you were a Red Sox fan when i invited you..."
"Oh, don't worry. I'm not really a "Sox Fan" per say..."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"I just root for whoever is playing against the Yankees..."
"..."
"what?"
"You're a real piece of shit."
"Do you have any wool?"




Photo #3: Miscellaneous PhotoBooth Picture w/ Effects on it



I call this piece:
"Sam, Dano, Johnny Z. & Maunz Melting
during a Hot Summer Day while
Ingesting Mass Quantities of Opiates"


i think it's crazy that Dano only has one eye
& yet he still manages to looks very chill.
he's totally oblivious to the fact that John kinda looks like
a demon who's vomiting on Maunz's face before he eats him.

my secret identity (shhhh.)

i'm going down to new york city on monday.
heard about an "open-casting call" for a new play.
think i might be perfect for the part.
this is the casting line:

Male. 16-20s. Must have a great rock tenor voice. 
Can be nerdy w/ understated sex appeal & a good sense of humor.

it just seemed too good not to go...

oh, by the way.
the role is for Peter Parker/Spider-man.


that's right...
it's a motherfuckin' Spider-man musical.

seriously.
i'm not kidding.

it's like somebody stole this idea from my brain & gave it to Bono.
this is gonna be the worst play in Broadway history. 
worst play in Broadway history.

i need to be a part of this somehow

if nothing else, i'm just gonna go try out for the sheer enjoyment
of standing in line with 20,000 Bizarro versions of myself.
imagine, thousands upon thousands of nerdy kids w/ emohair,
black-rimmed glasses & sweater vests.
Grand St. will be rockin' on monday night, ya'll.

Rivers Cuomo would be rolling over in his grave. (if he were dead.)

i just want an excuse to wear the costume.
such a bad ass costume.

don't you think the world is too boring?
the real world i mean.
the world of politics
& baseball
& taxes
& community college
& AnCo
& shitty jobs
& stupid mainstream girls who don't "get it"

yeah, i'm a big nerd, & i spend too much time
thinking about comic books/dinosaus/new alias for Topix
but that doesn't change the fact that i wish i could get
a day off from work because
Magneto flipped my car over w/ his mind...
a tyrannosaurus destroyed the mall...
zombies return from beyond el grave (el grave is mexi for "the grave").

i could write a whole blog specifically about 
the return of the zombies & my airtight plan 
to not only survive, but to thrive/turn-back the invansion.
however,  i'll save that for another time.

what i'd like to discuss is superpowers in general.
i'm gonna try & keep this limited to one power at a time.
so none of that Superman nonsense 
where he has like EVERY power.
oh, yeah, that's alotta fun to see.
a dude who no one can fuck with.
unless they have a green fuckin' rock from space.

this is gonna be a really agro blog.
i can already tell.
("Bro, look out, your fan-boy is showing")


did you see Superman Returns?
what a boring fucking movie...
Sam Raimi should kick Brian Singer's ass. 

side note.
Brandon Routh was better as that 
gay pornstar in Zak & Miri.
that's not a joke. 
he was hilarious


on to the powers. 

Super Speed:




simple question.
would you rather...
a) drive to the corner & buy a dutch in 2 minutes.
b) steal a cigar from a Cuban Nationalist in 6 seconds?

what a great power.
i would fuck with people all the time.
literally.
all.
the.
time. (time takes time. ya, know?)

i'd pull up behind people at red lights, get out, run over
& open there gas cap latches, then be back in my car before 
they even notice.
then i'd yell out the window at them 
about how dumb they are
for not closing there gas caps.

what a great power.





Freezing Stuff:

this is really a power of convenience/getting laid.
it's a power made to help you score chix.
you ever see that x-men movie?
you'll always have cold beers. (to get chix drunk)
you can turn ponds into ice rinks. (to get chix wet)
& you can make an ice slide to quickly escape. (from ugly chix.)

on a non-chix related note.
being able to turn in to ice would probably mean one of two things
1. you are ALWAY cold (cause you're made of ice)
2. you are NEVER cold (cause you're made of ice)

if it's the first option i'm not buying, otherwise i'm all in.

Teleportation:

ok, i guess i'll just say it.
fuck flying.

everyone wants to fly.
i ask people all the time what superpower they would have
& 9 times out of 10, it's flying.

come one america, let's be a little more creative.
wanting to fly is the most boring, standard superpower ever.

so, i'm gonna go with teleportation.
that would be the balls.
if you want a grape soda?
BLAM!
you're at the fridge
BLAM!
you're back in bed.

you can literally be the laziest person in the world.
since i'm already lazy, does that make me a superhero?
if i have this power, do i automatically have to look like this guy?

nightcrawler is looking very emo-core in this picture.


lots of powers to choose from.
there really are a million different super powers & junk.
as i'm mentioned in the past, if i had a choice of powers
i'd be able to transform into a 13ft. version on this.
fuckin' boss.





BONUS!!!
SHAQTASTIC PICTURE OF THE DAY.


the big shaqtus.
shaq is looking incredibly creepy in this picture, right?
like he just sexually molested that cactus.
or he plans on using this cactus sexually on you.

he still can't shoot free-throws.
