Hilarious Craiglist Ad

NINJA HAULER: 2005 Nissan Xterra - $12900 (Ronan / Lake County) 
OK, let me start off by saying this Xterra is only available for purchase by the manliest of men (or women). My friend, if it was possible for a vehicle to sprout chest hair and a five o'clock shadow, this Nissan would look like Tom Selleck. It is just that manly.

It was never intended to drive to the mall so you can pick up that adorable shirt at Abercrombie & Fitch that you had your eye on. It wasn't meant to transport you to yoga class or Linens & Things. No, that's what your Prius is for. If that's the kind of car you're looking for, then just do us all a favor and stop reading right now. I mean it. Just stop.

This car was engineered by 3rd degree ninja super-warriors in the highest mountains of Japan to serve the needs of the man that cheats death on a daily basis. They didn't even consider superfluous nancy boy amenities like navigation systems (real men don't get lost), heated leather seats (a real man doesn't let anything warm his butt), or On Star (real men don't even know what the hell On Star is).

No, this brute comes with the things us testosterone-fueled super action junkies need. It has a 265 HP engine to outrun the cops. It's got special blood/gore resistant upholstery. It even has a first-aid kit in the back. You know what the first aid kit has in it? A pint of whiskey, a stitch-your-own-wound kit and a hunk of leather to bite down on when you're operating on yourself. The Xterra also has an automatic transmission so if you're being chased by Libyan terrorists, you'll still be able to shoot your machine gun out the window and drive at the same time. It's saved my bacon more than once.

It has room for you and the four hotties you picked up on the way to the gym to blast your pecs and hammer your glutes. There's a tow hitch to pull your 50 caliber anti-Taliban, self cooling machine gun. I also just put in a new windshield to replace the one that got shot out by The Man.

My price on this bad boy is an incredibly low $12,900, but I'll entertain reasonable offers. And by reasonable, I mean don't walk up and tell me you'll give me $5,000 for it. That's liable to earn you a Burmese-roundhouse-sphincter-kick with a follow up three fingered eye-jab. Would it hurt? Hell yeah. Let's just say you won't be the prettiest guy at the Coldplay concert anymore.

There's only 69,000 miles on this four-wheeled hellcat from Planet Kickass. Trust me, it will outlive you and the offspring that will carry your name. It will live on as a monument to your machismo.

Now, go look in the mirror and tell me what you see. If it's a rugged, no holds barred, super brute he-man macho Chuck Norris stunt double, then contact me. I might be out hang-gliding or BASE jumping or just chilling with my ladies, but I'll get back to you. And when I do, we'll talk about a price over a nice glass of Schmidt while we listen to Johnny Cash.

To sweeten the deal a little, I'm throwing in this pair of MC Hammer pants for the man with rippling quads that can't fit into regular pants. Yeah, you heard me. FREE MC Hammer pants.

Rock on.

Digilaxusphobia

Last night I dreamt a friend had a fear of losing his fingers.  After googling what this meant, I found out losing your fingers is a common theme amongst dreamers who feel they are losing their grip on something.  I am changing the course of things, letting go of some goals to make room for the bigger and better.  For a split second I allowed myself to believe I was letting go of something important to me.  But then I realized it is only because there is no floor and no ceiling to the possibilities open to me now.  There is nothing holding me up but there's also nothing holding me down.  When I was pursuing becoming a professor there was a set path before me.  Apply to grad school and go where they offer me the most money.  Get my doctorate and go where they offer me the most money.  Begin my career as a puffed up optimist out to change the world one student at a time, and probably end it on the same tone.  And although the thought of being a perpetual student engrossed in the world of academia is comforting, I can't help but also take comfort in the uncomfortable.  You always grow more when the road is rocky, and you learn nothing if your path is easy.  So maybe I am letting go of something, something I thought I wanted when no other options presented themselves.  But just you wait when my fingers grasp hold of their new pursuits, and you will know what I know.

I'm in love with Google, and love to date someone who works there. Why? Because they think of fun applications like "mail goggles." It prevents you from emailing while inebriated--preventing you from pouring your heart out at 2 a.m. with more fervor than necessary. When enabled, mail goggles will ask you to answer math questions in a certain amount of time if you attemtpt to email between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. What genius! Seriously, if you're cute and work for Google (and a guy), look me up.

Evil Bovine Master

This is the umpteenth blog I've created...I haven't kept up with the times as far as "blogging," so I decided to get back into the swing of things (story of my life lately).

More to come later I guess...

These are things I'm realizing
