New Job...New CAR

I have started my new job and the first week has been awesome. The people are really cool and the pace is not to fast but not to slow either. I am learning a whole new way of doing things and equipment. Its been a very fun and fast first week, and this next week I can't wait to get started on.

Also, I am buying a car 99 Honda Accord. My cousin made me one hell of a deal on it and I had to take him up on it. This car marks my first big item I can call mine.

Anyway I have been really busy the past week and hopefully will stay busy.

Bored to Tears

I moved in Monday to Nashville, TN. It is now Thursday and I have finally gotten Internet and cable. For a person that usually spends at least 15 hrs. a day on the Computer/Internet I was somewhat bored to death. The first day was ok I had things to do, I read, I cleaned, I set things up, shopped. The second day was harder, I had watched all my Netflix movies, so I pulled out the Lappy and watched some SouthPark episodes. I then started listening to music and back to reading. Reading is probably what saved my mind. I am currently reading Deception Point by Dan Brown and am almost finished thanks to this week. I am also reading Marathon: Ultimate Training Guide and CCNA exam study guide. Anyway on the subject of boredom, I am use to coming into work everyday having somethign to do some structure for the day and someone to talk to almost all hours of the day. This week I have had no one except for the phone and the people I could reach. Anyway I can't wait for work to start so I will have more to do during the day then read and watch stuff all day.

SquidBillies...Cartoon Jesco White (Dancing Outlaw)

My cousin asked me if I had seen Squidbillies, a cartoon on Cartoon Network's adult swim. A basis synopsis of the show can be found at wikipedia, but I will also give one here. The show is about squids in the mountains of Georgia and all the people that make up the mountain town.

Early


Rusty

The two main characters are Early and Rusty, a father and son team who have various adventures together.


Episode 1: This Show is Called Squidbillies

I compare to one my favorite movies/documentaries The Dancing Outlaw, just in cartoon form. The Dancing Outlaw is about a man named Jesco White, who lives in the hills of West Virginia. He is the son of a famous Mountain Dancer, who was tragically killed in a stand off. It is one of the saddest and yet entertaining documentary on rural life in America.


Exert from The Dancing Outlaw

Squidbillies reflects Jesco in many of the episodes I have seen, of course the issues are a little more outrageous but most of the time they reflect the backwardness of rural life.

I would suggest checking them both out for some serious laughs, but be prepared for some very controversial topics.
