So I woke up yesterday morning to a cop car in my driveway. The dogs started barking...I didn't even hear them knock. Then I peak out my window to see a Colleyville copcar sitting in my driveway. I yell to Ashley who is in the shower that the police are here and of course her question was WHY? I started getting really nervous....like maybe I hadn't payed a ticket or something, or a member of my family had passed away.
RIP TOSHIBA. (2002 - 2008)

Behold...I give you MUXTAPE. So I recently read over at adamblue.net of a cool new website called muxtape. Basically you can upload 12 of your favorite songs and have a profile that displays them on your page. I have no idea what the "mux" stands for...maybe it's a typo? Apparently it was originally created by one of the guys who works for connectedventures. They run some of the coolest websites on the internets like bustedtees.com or collegehumor.com...
 I literally LOL'd when I saw the third comment on this picture when I logged into facebook tonight. I love witty comments. If you don't understand the subtle humor to this comment you need to start watching Metalocalypse on Adult Swim.
So I think the reason that I don't blog that often is because I'm never happy with my templates...but that all changes now. I started from scratch...found some new cool tricks and gadgets and implemented them into this blog.
Another day, another template change. It's 130am and I just put the finishing touches on the main page...I haven't even touched the other links to the left yet...but it will be a one step at a time process. Check back soon for updates...as I plan to finish it this week.
We also just got back from a trip to Cancun, Mexico. We stayed at the Westin Hotel. We always stay in a Westing wherever we go (New York, San Antonio, Cancun) This was the worst Westin yet. The floor was made of tile (i'm guessing because they don't want people coming in wet from the beach and making the carpet moldy? But they have carpet in the hallways??? The walls were superthin. And the service was crappy. Despite these things...we had fun in the ocean, visiting Chichen Itza, and doing some bargain shopping at the local flea market. I saw an amazing movie over the weekend. A full review will come on the next post tomorrow!
 Mmmmmm.....The Simpson's Movie. We went and saw this movie opening night Friday night amongst all the teenagers who felt the need to repeat every funny line out loud so they could express the fact that they got the subtle humor that lies underneath all Simpson's jokes. The movie itself was actually very funny. Some of the funniest parts were from the previews...but I still laughed at them anyway. I never understood why it took them so long to come out with a Simpson's Movie...I stopped watching the new episodes a while back...but never miss an opportunity to watch some of the classics that they replay over and over again. My favorites have to be back when Conan O'Brien was writing for them...his humor is so different and out there that you can literally tell a Conan episode from the rest. Back to the movie...this movie keeps you entertained throughout...there isn't a moment that your not sitting around waiting for the plot to emerge. It's literally like watching a 30 minute episode...but for an hour and 1/2. Don't forget to stay till the end of the credits for a special bonus... Schillerscale = 7/10.
 The Rocket Summer's new cd "Do You Feel" was released today. I was counting the minutes until 5 (when I got off work) today so I could go up to Virgin and buy my copy. I ended up buying two...just in case. I actually never buy CD's...the last CD that I bought was their last album which came out last year. If you've never heard of The Rocket Summer (TRS)... go to their myspace or website and check them out. The lead singer is Bryce Avary...and he's basically a one man band. He writes, sings, and performs all the instruments on each album. The enitre album has been streaming on his myspace profile for the past few days...I wanted to listen so bad, but I resisted...there's just something so different about waiting until you unwrap the plastic from a cd and peel off the annoying tape, pop the cd into your player and jam. What makes any band for me is any form of harmonizing...is that a word? Bryce does an amazing job bringing the vocals and the kick ace piano chords together to form an album that makes you happy everytime you listen to it. You could be having a pretty crappy day...just pop the cd in...and your toe will start tapping and it just puts you in a good mood. (for me anyways) What's really impressive is just this paragraph inside the cd sleeve "Vocals, drums, piano, guitars, bass, percussion, moog synthesizers, organ, wurlitzer and harmonica performed by Bryce Avary"
So this is the new site... I know what your thinking. Why did you call your site it'sadam.com? For one very simple reason...basically for my own amusement... when someone asks me what the web address is for it...I can simply answer... "it's adam dot com"....I created the name for the pure curiosity to see if anyone will actually think that I was lucky enough to get the domain name "adam.com"
