Saturday Silence

Not much of news to give out as nothing new has happened. I still have yet to go for a run or do any physical activity, and i still feel as if i need to do something better with my time at night after work than just sitting around watching tv. Remember not to be too greedy, i've given out pretty big info so far and you shouldn't expect too much.


One of the reasons i started this blog was to share not only about my life but also about what i have learned. Its never much but its something. I very recently watched Modern marvels (put on by the history channel) and the episode i watched was about knives/cutting devices. pretty crazy, i know. something i did not know was that the katana (japanese sword) was perfected around 1000 years ago, and has continued to be crafted in the same matter since. It's blade is always curved as it becomes this way when making it. The blade starts out straight, they then spread some sort of soil on the back side of the blade as to keep this part of the metal from becoming too brittle/hard (as too avoid the blade shattering when striking something), then when the sharp side becomes heated the metal expands (the back side does not expand) and thus the blade becomes curved (if you don't get it, just think about it a bit longer...wait for it.......there you go).

I also learned this week while doing the daily crossword during lunch break, that a "talopy" is some kind of fish. Which is apparently not as uncommon as i thought it would be.

Other than that not much is changing. I am most likely only blogging right now because the mail is not here yet. Once it does and Super smash bros brawl drops in my mail, i'll be 24/7 on that madness (if you want in, just make an appointment, any day any time (except when i'm at work) and i'm in).

Also you may note that i've added some Last FM plugins to my page. You might think.."wow what inspired him to do that?". Well i'll tell you as i know you're dying to know. I have been a bit behind on my music so in the last few days i've been downloading and listening to much of what came out in the last quarter of '07 and then whats been released in '08 so far. The Last FM plugins are just so you can look at my last FM info and inspire yourself to also keep up on the music and not forget. I am ashamed to say that since beginning work last fall, i have fallen under the spell of so called "pop" music. Pop music has caused me to quit searching for music that is good, and give in to that which is catchy. Shame on my house, i know. But after getting back, and poping in a little vampire weekend, and some beirut, i have been cured. The amazing melodies and compositions offered by such great musicians has lifted the curse.

Thats about it for now. I will most likely be back next weekend, but no promises.
