….or who wants candy?

 

 

 

I had a ton of leftover peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and chocolate chips….what to do but make some “fudge”. Now I’ve got a ton of leftover fudge, what shall I do with that?

There is no poll on this one but what do you think I should do with the leftovers? Does anyone want some? Maybe I should hunt out some homeless folk. I don’t know, what do you think?

I’m really not trying to let you people down, I guess I just not very good at this getting/having a job thing. I went to Baskin-Robbins today and the owner really didn’t want to hire me, she was very skeptical. She said that they weren’t hiring for “scoopers” but that she did need a cake decorator. I would love to do that. Only problem was that she was unwilling to train, she said she needed a decorator with experience. Who in their right mind with experience in piping and airbrushing would work at Baskin-Robbins for $10/hour or under? She’s crazy. I told her I was a quick study and that I would be very good at it but she wasn’t having it. So much for that.

Tomorrow I’ll call Cold Stone and see what I can do about getting an interview there. I’m really trying abide by your votes but there are some things I can’t control. Is there anything you suggest or would like me to do?

I filled out the online application for both the Los Gatos and Cambrian locations last week. They don’t do any hiring in-store, at least the intial application part, it’s all done through the website. No one has contacted me and now I don’t know what I should do.

I went around to Baskin-Robbins and Sweet Retreat last week as a backup. Sweet Retreat had just hired two people so wasn’t looking for anyone new but at least took my name. The owner of the Baskin-Robbins looked at me like I was crazy and said that I was over qualified for the job. She wouldn’t take me seriously and told me that I wasn’t going to work for $8/hour. I told her that I was serious and that I would absolutely work for minimum wage. She was still pretty skeptical but agreed to sit down and interview me. She asked me to come back this evening at 6:00 PM.

I want to keep up to everything you voted on but what if Cold Stone isn’t hiring right now. What do I do now?

Cheers to everyone who voted on me to get a Corona. I actually got some Corona Lights. I know the pictures look like I was drinking alone but that wasn’t the case…my dog was with me.

It would have been a lot more fun with some buds over, maybe this weekend. Ian (my brother) says that Coronas are his favorite, he wants to become a beer connoisseur. We’ll see what happens with that.

On a seperate note, I found a cheap place to buy lemons and limes, Safeway sells them for $1.00 and $.69 repectively but if you go to the Mexi market you can get them for 3/$1.00 and 8/$1.00 respectively.

What’d you do for the 5th of May?

Happy Cinco de Mayo to everyone. What a wonderful holiday. Does anyone have the day off or is anyone doing anything to celebrate it? What a joke.

I’m not a big drinker, I can’t remember the last time, if ever, I’ve had a beer on a Monday. Seeing that it’s Cinco de Mayo though I figured that I might as well partake. What do you say?

As per the vote I have now listed the tank top on eBay. You my friend, can now own a one-of-a-kind piece of pop culture. You can bidd on Candice Michelle’s worn t-shirt/tank top from the live Diggnation show on April 30th, 2008 at Mighty in San Francisco. She poured beer all over herself and the tank top and it has not been washed. Below there is video and photos of this. She also got beer on both Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose but that’s another issue.

Candice Michelle Beckman-Ehrlich, better known as Candice Michelle or just Candice, is an American model, actress, and professional wrestler currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE / WWF). She is the also the spokeswoman for GoDaddy and was in the famous Super Bowl commercials.

Again this is the actual tank top that Candice wore and poured beer on. It still has the beer on it.

Buy the tank top on eBay

At the Diggnation show the other day (which I wrote about below), Candice Michelle, the model from the GoDaddy Superbowl commerical, poured beer all over herself. Here is footage of it:

After the show she switched shirts and threw out the beer soaked tank top to the crowd. I’m the creepy son-of-a-bitch that got it!

I’m really glad you guys made me go. I honestly wouldn’t have gone normally, I would have backed out and had a boring night at home. This whole voting on my life thing is turning out good for me so far. I’ve got some pictures and a short video to show you.

My brother Ian went with me. I told about it earlier but he didn’t think he’d be able to go, he said he had to work. At the last minute he decided he wanted to go but then he couldn’t get a hold of me. Luckily we connected and he was able to meet me before I left. I’m really happy he went otherwise I would have been a loner.

The drive up went quickly (Ian was ranting about Twitter, which I’ve now joined and you can follow me right from my blog). We found the place easily and there was free parking right next to the venue. We were there pretty early so we decided to go get some dinner. We walked around and found a place called I Luv Teriyaki & Sushi‎ on Potrero Avenue, it was fairly good and inexpensive ($8 for the chicken teriyaki bento). We watched the Cavs loose it in the 4th quarter and then walked to Safeway. They had one of those peanut butter bars and Ian went a little hog-wild on some warm cashew butter with honey.

We walked back to the venue and waited in line for a half hour or so, it was so windy and cold. All the geeks in line were on their iPhones Twittering each other. I have never seen so many gadgets in one place. I felt out of place with my BlackBerry, I’m such a square. We finally got in and went right up to the stage. They were still setting up but we wanted to be front and center, which we were, we had front row.

Funny story, we went to use the restroom and the urinals had no visual blocker between each other. If you were peeing you essentially had it all hanging out. Well Ian as he was leaving saw that there was a black dude taking a piss and he thought to himself “I wonder if it’s true.” So what does he do? He looks…that’s right he took a gander. He then recanted on his tale and said that he didn’t really see and he couldn’t confirm whether or not the myth is true. I don’t believe him, I think he knows.

Before Alex and Kevin came on to do Diggnation they had another Revision 3 show Internet Superstar with Martin Sargent and Gator. It was a bit strange but entertaining enough. They had Candice Michelle from the GoDaddy Super Bowl commercials (more on her later).

They also had this awesome dude Brett, he’s got a website www.AmTrekker.com. Last year he quit his job at Disney and made a list of 50 things he wanted to do (tell Donald Trump “You’re fired!”, see a game at Fenway park, be in a movie, tour the Crayola factory, etc) and he set out to cross them all off. He made two rules for himself, he’s not coming back until he completes the list and he’s not going to pay for lodging the entire time. Ian and I spoke with him after the show and he’s a totally awesome dude. I would love to do what he’s doing. I could go on and on about him but I would suggest just reading it from him on his website.

After Internet Superstar there was a short break and then Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose came out for Diggnation. There was a bit of an issue with the mics and the sound system and that took a good 15 minutes to sort out.

The show was awesome and both Alex and Kevin are hilarious. I know Kevin was ill and wasn’t feeling that well but he put on a good face and made it through the night. Towards the end of the show Candice came back on stage and brought them some beers, the three of them then preceded to have a beer chugging contest. Candice, rather than drink hers, decided to poor it all over herself, tomorrow you’ll be able to watch the show. She ended up getting beer all over the couch and on Alex, Kevin and Kevin’s powerbook, he looked pissed.

She went off stage and changed her shirt. She then threw her shirt to the crowd. Guess who got it? Damn right! I did sucka.

It’s all sweaty and covered in beer. It makes my room reek. It’s actually kind of creepy to have it, I feel like a perv…but also cool. After the show we met Alex, Martin and Brett. Everyone there was super nice. I had a blastly blast, I’m glad you voted on me to go. I put together a small video but you should watch the show when it comes out tomorrow. I have a few more pictures on my Flickr too if you’d care to see.

I’m off to San Francisco for the Diggnation live show. I bet it’ll be fun. I must say that normally I would have not gone considering the circumstances, I’m really tired. But alas, I must abide by your votes so it’s off to the Prius for an hour or so.

Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure.

This was at Crossroads yesterday. Went with two of my brothers and my mom (in the backsground).

His “old folks” home gave him this reward. He’s probably the funniest guy I know. Now you know where I get it from….bum dum sh.

This is my Grandfather and me. Basically this is what I’m going to look like in 70 years.

Look at this pimp (my Grandfather in WWII).

This is from one of my MySpace groupies!!!

It’s too early and I slept way too little. I haven’t been sleeping well as of late. I woke up at 4:45 am, what’s up with that? I like the morning but damn, I’m up before the morning is.

I was going to go to a live taping of Diggnation today. Diggnation, if you don’t know, is a weekly video podcast covering the top stories on www.Digg.com. It’s hosts are Alex Albrecht and Kevin Rose who used to host Tech TV’s The Screen Savers. Kevin started Digg as well as Rivision 3 and Pownce. I watch their podcast weekly and have always wanted to see them. Most often they do the show from an apartment couch but occasionaly they’ll do live tapings (most recently in Amsterdam).

The show today is in San Francisco at the Mighty (it’s on Utah Street) and doors open at 6 pm. I don’t have anyone to go with and I’m not to familiar with the city. I figure if doors open at 6 pm, show starts at 7 pm, show probably doesn’t end until 9ish, maybe hang/mingle a little and with an hour drive home that gets me to bed around 11 pm. I’m going to be so tired by then. So what should I do?

P.S. Anyone wanna go with me?
