If everyone lived like me....

According to the Ecological Footprint survey, we would need 3.3 planets. Check it out. Don't expect anything, because I guarantee your not as ecologically friendly as you think!

What's your footprint??

O yea, got this site quiz off of Trick. Thanks Trick.

Peace Mech on Rivington Street found on Wooster Collective

From Amber in New York City - "The poster above is an amazing & impressive 4ft wheatpasting.. do not recognize who did it, not signed, but the content is amazing of what is written, as well as the illustration.

Sorta a sharing of one's take on current events which gets others to stop & think.

It was interesting to sit across from it on a stoop for an hour & to observe many folks were stopping to read it, or what folks walk away after reading just a couple sentences. A few folks nodding their heads to it when reading , sort of rt on.

All about a future with robots at the World Trade center site manning the peace etc. Well thought out."

Man tries to pay for pizza with pot

May 2, 2005 (FARGO, N.D.) — Police arrested a 21-year-old man early Saturday after he allegedly assaulted a pizza delivery driver who refused to take marijuana as payment for a pie, police said. The man, charged with robbery, was released from the Cass County Jail after posting $5,000 bond.

Pizza Patrol driver Atif Yasin thought the man was asleep when he arrived to deliver a medium pizza and 20-ounce soda. After knocking a few times and calling the man on his cell phone, Yasin said he answered the door in his boxers. Maybe he was getting laid. How many times has that happened to you? Ok well, me? ALOT!

The man took the pizza, spent a few minutes looking for money and then offered to pay with marijuana, Yasin said. Why not? The Barter System is in full affect!!

Yason said when he told the man that he either needed money or the pizza, the man began to yell and pushed him and punched him in the face. Yeah, well I would have been upset too if he interupted my orgasm, dumbass.

After calling police and waiting for officers to arrive, Yasin delivered two more orders that were waiting in his car. Two more deliveries? I'm glad the pothead only punched instead of shooting him.

Officers who arrested the man said he was intoxicated, Sgt. Shannon Ruziska said.
Because the man is accused of assaulting Yasin while committing a theft, he was arrested on suspicion of robbery, Ruziska said. The cops kept the monetary weed for "evidence".

Yasin did not seek medical attention for his injuries. The right side of his face was still red and swollen Saturday afternoon, he said. Does Pizza Tut have insurance benefits?

Yasin, a 22-year-old Minnesota State University Moorhead student, said it is the first time he's been assaulted in three years delivering pizza.

He said he was a little nervous to work his next shift, which began at midnight on Sunday. Yasin said he'll handle it differently if he encounters a similar situation again.

"I won't argue to the people who took the pizza," he said. "I'll just leave right away."

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!!

 


or Happy May 5th! (for you non-spanish speaking folk and people who have not joined the party world ever)

I don't think I'll be partaking in the festivities this evening, but I'm sure I'll be reminded throughout the weekend of how much I was missed.

Thanks fellas!

Sell stolen merchandise on Ebay

A truck containing 47,000 NY Yankees ball caps were stolen this past weekend from a city in Florida. These hats were apparently meant for the home game against Oakland this weekend.

What is someone going to do with 47,000 Yankees hats?

And how do you hide the fact that you've stolen 47,000 Yankees hats?

You could drive to New York and sell them on the street. Yankees hats are going for about $20 a pop. Even if you sold them for $5 that's still a couple hundred thousand richer.

But you would think that everybody's pretty much heard about the stolen truck containing 47,000 Yankees hats, there's probably no way you'd get through a weigh station checkpoint without being a little suspicious.

I suppose you could sell them on Ebay.

Yep, probably Ebay.

Or maybe Ebay.

A dilemma

I seem to have a few dilemmas floating around lately. This one in particular being the Jeep. The Jeep in which I acquired when I was about 16 from a friend of my father.

It, like any other hobby vehicle, goes through phases of operation. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I don't really have the mechanical knowlege I should possess in order to own this sort of hobby. I have friends that have offered to help me or teach me, but they really don't have time.

It's not operating at the moment. I think the cables from the battery to the starter and starter cellonoid and the voltage regulator and probably the alternator need to be replaced.

I spent $500 last year to have the electrical rewired. I believe I was ripped off. The stop lights still don't work properly and I don't see where they rewired the headlights.

And now I'm shopping on ebay for a plastic fuel cell - the gas tank has holes rusted through.

O, did I mention I live in a beach town in Florida and don't have a garage to keep it in. That's the biggest problem. Before I bought this house it was garage kept it's whole life.

I may just give in and sell it. I dread doing such a thing.

the Jeep. 

The ADHD Blogger

I'm getting tons of emails, well a few anyway, concerning the disappearance of my former blog - Just Mel. So this post is to answer all of the questions as to why I blew up Just Mel.

The main reasons are the last several times I was blogging my entries would get deleted. I was so aggravated that my insightful entries were just imploding into cyberspace I wanted to kill my computer. So I said screw it and deleted my blog.

Also, my life has changed a bit since I started Just Mel a year ago and I am way more insane, I mean perfect now than ever before. I thought I needed to go with a different theme.

Really it's just that I occasionally, ok frequently, get bored with things easily, hence the ADHD, and decide that it's time for a change. But instead of just moving things around I find it's more satisfying to just throw things out on the curb and get new things.
