IT'S THAT TIME... AGAIN
everyone has holiday traditions. even if they deliberately choose to not follow them. many, if not most, holiday traditions annoy me. not because i think they are stupid, pointless and a waste of perfectly good money. but because they have a tendency to get in my way. if all i want to do is buy a new flash drive from best buy, why should i be stuck in a line for 30 minutes waiting for all the rich people to buy their new laptops and psp's for their pristinely spoiled children? frankly, i have better things to do. like defend the universe from suicidal/exploding mindless aliens, while simultaneously catching up on the latest episode of 30 rock/the office/it's always sunny in philidelphia/house on hulu.com (dual monitors ftw).

COMMERCIAL
commercial announcer guy:
"when you were 10 you wanted to be a fire man.
when you were 17 you were captain of the football team.
when you were 25 you married your high school sweet heart.
so when did you become a sex predator?"
i literally laughed out loud.

DEFLECTION
in an effort to completely avoid what i have been up to lately (i decided to take thumper's advice), i am posting a picture that i have been working on in photoshop for a couple of weeks.
first is the original picture from the chronicles of riddick.
to start i traced the picture by hand (er, mouse).
next i filled in the picture with new colors.
i then used a couple different tools to add shading. this is only partly finished.
and now the finished product.

EM-TEE-SEE-TOE
wednesday is greenie day at the mtc. tens of dozens of fresh missionaries (new phrases make me look smart) line up to cordially accept their highly personalized dork dot to make their assignment official. some laugh. some cry. some just blindly follow the crowd into the assembly hall where a church offical will reassure everyone present that giving up 2 years of their lives for the church is the least they could do.
i enjoy driving past the mtc at around noon on wednesdays. that is when traffic is the worst because of all the parents walking their children to the door. normally, i dont like traffic. it gets in my way. but i like seeing the herd of people looking forward to cramming themselves into a small space for the next 2 months before they are shipped out.
now, some of you may think my interest is from a desire to reminisce in the good ol' days of a simpler time when all you were required to do was study and eat. but you would be mistaken. although i did actually enjoy my mtc experience, my motives for driving past the mtc on wednesdays at noon are more narcissistic... nay, more sinister than they may appear.
i like to think that as i pull up to red light on the corner of the mtc entrace with the tens of dozens of families taking pictures of their "all grown up" babies for the last time for two years, that my mustang, with windows down and led zepplin blasting, can serve as a reminder for some of them of all the worldly possessions they had to give up... right before they recieve their dork dot and make it official.
in related news, my little brother is going to el salvador.
