jebus christ this bitch is dumb. i’m guessing most people have seen this clip by now, but in case you haven’t, or even if you have, it’s a good 48 seconds.

my favorite lyrical rhyme of all time (kekeke) has long been from third eye blind – losing a whole year:

I took your stuff and put it in the basement
When I found out what the smile on your face meant

and then today i’m watching “the tube” digital sub-channel on tv and there’s a peter gabriel song called solsbury hill which has the lyrics:

Today I dont need a replacement
Ill tell them what the smile on my face meant

!

i have to assume this was just third eye blind paying homage to peter gabriel, but regardless i’m now conflicted about what my favorite rhyme of all time is. am i a poser for liking the 3eb version now that i know that it’s not completely original?

i edited together a few of the camera’s from costin’s show last month and made a action packed music video. well at least action packed in the sense that it’s packed with members of the action item. enjoy:

i get to watch all kindsa good 80′s, 90′s and current music videos on the DTV channel “the tube” 5-5. it’s an over-the-air digital channel that just plays music videos 24/7, which you can’t even find on cable these days. if you have an HDtv, you should try hooking up a regular tv antenna to it. the local hd channels look better (compared to long beach charter hd), and there’s a few sub-channels (like 5-5) that are good, and all for free.

anyway, in the video for “it’s my life”, the singer mark hollis is totally just doing an impression of cameron from ferris bueller’s day off, doing an impression of principal rooney (when he’s pretending to be sloane’s father) it’s fantastic if you are familiar with both references, smirk-worth if you know of one, and pointless if you’ve never seen either. =p

since ben was saying that i look like an inverted popeye in that other post, mike sent me this. funnay.

we finally found the time to spend a full weekend in big bear. shali rented a huge suite at the black forest lodge, just about a mile away from the resort. unlike the last place that supposedly had a jacuzzi across the street, this place had one in the room, and we made full use of it. we all had a blast, and instead of me recapping, you can just check out mike’s pics here:

finally had a chance to put together some of the video clips we’ve taken of wakeboarding this summer. i’m prolly gonna show this video at the wedding too (while me and taka are doing wardrobe changes), since it has some of the only footage i have of takako in it.
