For as long as I had my web cam, plus Skype for my video chatting needs, I've never once talked to a stranger online using said items. Back in the AIM/ICQ or chat room days, talking to strangers on the internet happened on occasion. Nowadays, not so much. However I recently got my very first video chat with a stranger, and it wasn't what I expected.
I get an instant message on Skype, from a random girl. As she introduces herself, she says she's 24, in the Philippines, and is single. I decided to play along and told her my age, California, and married (I'm not going to leave that out now). After a little bit of small talk, she then requests us to chat using the webcam. My curiousity was definitely peaked, so I complied. Video feed comes on, I see her face, and it's actually a pretty cute girl. Then she moves away from the camera a bit, and shows me her completely nude body for about a second. Holy Crap indeed! I try to talk to her through the microphone, but she says (or claims) that she doesn't have a mic, and that we have to continue chatting by text (it looked like she was talking to somebody off camera). She then asks me to go to this web site and "rate her" on her "modeling." I humor her by replying a "sure," and then she asks me if I'm actually filling up the form. I just gave her a "nope, doesn't look free" reply, as it does ask for a credit card. She reassures me that it's just for age verification purposes, and I simply told her "sorry, I'm skeptical." She gives me that puppy dog eyes look, just says "ok" then hangs up. LOL, well that was a completely unexpected experience.
BTW, if you are wondering, yes I told my wife about this encounter. She was the first to know, and she found the whole situation hilarious.

I've got to hand it over to the FOX TV show "24," I still find it quite exciting to watch. First and foremost, it's the character of Jack Bauer that defines what's good about the show. It's not often that a fictional figure the likes of a James Bond, Indiana Jones, or a Batman, would emerge nowadays and be a popular icon, but that's what Jack Bauer is. Now headed towards the last six weeks of the seventh season, I'm still at the edge of my seat, eager to see how it all plays out. Yes it's true that for the most part, they repeat the same story and plot points every single time. From the mole, the corruption within the government, the frame jobs, the tragic sacrifices, etc... However that's what makes 24... 24! The writers are smart enough to change things up a little bit to keep us guessing, and I admit that I have been fooled by them on occasion. It's still kinda unbelievable that all this action, suspense, and drama could happen in a span of one day, what with people being able to stay awake for such a long time too. Still, 24 is still quite a fun show to watch.

I had to waste some time while I was waiting for the mechanic to be done with the oil change for my wife's car, and the bowling alley was just next door. I haven't played bowling by myself before, so I found this to be an open opportunity. Paid for an hour, and thought that I could probably just play about four to five games. Turns out I could play that amount of games in less than half an hour. By that point I was surprisingly pretty tired and my right arm was starting to feel the pain. I decided that I better start pacing myself, because my aim and form was starting to get really bad. I ended up playing a total of nine games, and my right arm has now lost all power for the time being. I didn't realize that bowling can be so strenuous.
The very first "Kevin & Bean's April Foolishness" just happened this past night. Normally KROQ puts out concerts, but I'm glad they did this night showcasing stand up comics, because it was absolutely a blast. This was the first time I really went to see a live comedy performance as well, so that only made it more memorable. Seeing the crew from the Kevin & Bean show also made my day, since I'm a huge fan.
Before the doors opened to enter the Gibson Amphitheater and get to our seats, and after I got my event t-shirt to commemorate the night, me and my friend went to the "Sit Down Shut Up" booth to do our personal flip book. Yeah, that doesn't really say much, so here's how that went down. We stood in front of a white background; with the logo of the show, and for about 7-10 seconds we acted something out. My friend had a lei on, and did the hula, while I "played" a fake saxophone. The important part was that we were moving, because while the camera was taking the video of us, the computer takes frames from it and prints out a little flip book of our performance. It's pretty cool, but I guess you have to really see it to appreciate it.
Once inside and at our seats, we were treated to about an hour worth of video before the comedians take the stage. A good chunk of it are KROQ videos, and were hilarious to watch and pass the time (love the bubble wrap beer mug). There was also a funny PSA on breast exams, by "Boarding For Breast Cancer," which is the organization that the proceeds of this show goes to. Then some celebrity videos were shown, from Tenacious D doing a song about curing breast cancer, Joel McHale of "the Soup!" talking about Kevin & Bean, and Bob Saget doing a video skit on being a responsible driver.
The show kicks off with "Cleto and the Cletones" performing as the show's official band, and Jimmy Kimmel comes out to start as the opener. He was more or less doing what he would do in his late night show, and had a desk and chairs for interviewing Kevin & Bean. They talked about the times Jimmy Kimmel used to work for the show, and then brought out a surprise guest who used to work at the show as well, Mr.Birchum (which is a character played by Adam Corolla).
Before I continue, I realize that it's not going to work trying to explain the jokes that I heard. So this will be a quick and broad rundown of the acts.
The first real stand up comic went on stage, and it was Kevin's neighbor, Ray Romano (I'm sure you know him better from that one TV show). His comedy consisted mostly about married life, his kids, teens nowadays, and related matter. Next up Craig Robinson, who was the last minute replacement for Jay Mohr; who had to drop out due to a family emergency. Luckily, Craig Robinson had a very hilarious and entertaining act, which was him pretty much just being behind the keyboard singing random stuff, with us singing along with some very funny comedic moments.
After that lively set, Kevin Nealon had a harder time following up to that performance. He did fine, and was funny, and his comedy routine involved talking about allowing people to cut him off to pot smoking, but disappointed us a bit by having no Mr.Subliminal skit. Sarah Silverman followed that performance with her own dry, sarcastic, self deprecating, and offensive humor. At certain points, some people took it upon themselves to heckle her, which she was able to turn it around and rip on the audience like the pro she is.
The "roast master general" himself; Jeffrey Ross was up next, and ofcourse he started things off by making fun of Kevin & Bean, and some people in the audience. At one point he got an audience member to get on the piano that he had on stage; but the guy unfortunately could not play the piano well enough for the joke. So Jeffrey Ross calls out Craig Robinson to play the keyboard while he read some funny poems.
Joe Rogan went on stage afterwards, and was freakin hilarious. His humor is of the angry screaming I can't believe it but very informative kind, but wow was he great at it. Talking about the stupidity of climbing Mt.Everest, why anti-marijuana commercials don't make sense, to why animals are monsters, and so many other things were just so funny to listen to. A lot of people who only knew him from Newsradio, Fear Factor, or the UFC would leave the venue saying "I did not know that he was such a funny guy."
Patton Oswalt was next, and his geek humor was definitely different, especially after Joe Rogan's act. He threw in jokes that probably went over some people's head, but I thought they worked out decently well. People ofcourse liked his jokes about his experience as the voice of Remy the rat in Pixar's Ratatouille, and would now have a different perspective about that character.
To a lot of the audience's disapproval, Kevin & Bean brought out the "so bad, he's still not even funny," Sam, The Armenian Comedian, and said that he was closing the show. He then comes out all excited and ready to do his comedy, when the curtains drops right in front of him unceremoniously and officially ends the show. The audience sat there for awhile in disbelief, but then just casually started walking out of the venue.
Kevin & Bean's April Foolishness was a success, and I definitely plan to attend it again next year. I'm glad they came up with this idea, and for a good cause too. For me Craig Robinson and Joe Rogan had the best act, but the rest were all still pretty funny. Most everybody's humor were offensive, controversial, and unbelievable at times, but that's exactly the kind of comedy I was looking for. My only wish right now is that they would release the whole show on DVD sometime in the future, because I would love to relieve that night again.

When I am driving my car, I tend to say out loud things like "don't do it," whenever I feel like a car nearby is going to cut me off. Me actually paying attention to the cars around me is just an example of "defensive driving" I suppose. However I got to admit that it paid off recently.
I saw a car that was positioned front right of me, and once again I was watching out to see if he would cut me off. Sure enough he did. The car just casually started merging to my lane, without even turning on his left turn signal. I immediately slammed on my breaks and blared my horn, because wow did he almost side swipe me. I was right next to an island too, so swerving to the left wasn't even an option.
The guy didn't even show any signs of embarrassment when I drove up next to him and glared towards his direction. The expression on his face was more like he was annoyed and inconvenienced to have almost hit me. The nerve of the guy driving that little black Nissan Versa.
BTW for those actually curious, no he wasn't asian. ba-da-dum
