Pictures From Hyde Park, Santa Fe, New Mexico

By Rob | Published: June 15, 2009

A few weeks ago I took a drive up to Hyde Park National Forest/Sangre De Cristo Mountains here in Santa Fe, New Mexico and took around 200 photos with my Nikon D60. I had a lot of fun and got to rediscover an old hobby of mine, photography. I hadn’t had a nice DSLR camera in a long time and it was a really cool experience to get out and snap a few picture of the beautiful Northern New Mexico scenery and sunset.

The day was awesome. Light rain and clouds surrounded the Santa Fe and Los Alamos areas and just as the sun was setting down everything cleared up perfectly. It was a much needed break for me to get away and enjoy the calming silence of nature. Enjoy the pictures!

Motorized + Easy Chair = Fuckin’ Awesome

By Rob | Published: June 15, 2009

I’m all about knockin’ on rednecks and of course I enjoy a good laugh at their expense but I gotta give credit where it’s due!  This hill billy struck gold with ingenuity and originality and then sprinkled on a little awesome with this motorized easy chair. Now I don’t know if this dude built this thing or God magically bestowed unto him the coolest piece of fuckin’ furniture ever. All I know is I WANT ONE!!!

I don’t know where I would use this thing but I can just picture myself in it with a beer and a shotgun cruising around campsites and raising hell. Cause who the hell wants to mess with a dude in a motorized easy chair never mind the shotgun. That just screams bad ass. Add to that a fishnet t-shirt and you got yourself a one man party machine. Video after the break. Read More »

Conan O’brien is a freakin GIANT

By Rob | Published: June 11, 2009

Is it just me or is Conan O’brien a freakishly huge person? The dude is like a friggin’ giant compared to his guests. It’s hilariously distracting and it reminds me of Frodo Baggins and Gandalf from The Lord of the Rings. While watching this clip I kept waiting for Ryan Seacrest to leap in to Conans arms like Frodo did with Gandalf in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Anyway I thought that was pretty funny. I could not stop laughing at how akward it was while Ryan Seacrest was sitting next to Conan. And it doesn’t stop there either cause Conan’s head is huge too. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve always know Conan was a pretty tall guy but having not watched the show in quite sometime I was quickly reminded of just how funny it was especially with shorter guests.

Saturday Night Live Skit: Mother Lover

By Rob | Published: June 9, 2009

I haven’t watched Saturday Night live regularly since I was high school and Adam Sandler, Chris Farley, Mike Myers and Dana Carvey were headlining. But recently my buddy Matt Culler and his wife showed me this little gem and I had to post it.

The Over Saturation of Twitter

By Rob | Published: June 4, 2009

Wow, so Twitter has become quite popular but in that same respect, it’s become quite an annoyance for me. I have always believed that Twitter is what you make of it. It can be a very resourceful place for aggregated news and information or it can be a slew of junk. I have entered that latter realm of Twitter junk; AND by my own fault, no less.

Word to the wise: Be Cautious

I’m a huge Twitter advocate and believe that it’s a great resource but by my own fault I’ve become consumed by being “followed” by as many people as I can and as fast as I can. I mean, who doesn’t want the world to hear what you have to say, right? Read More »
