Buddy Hacket, Jay Mohr, and Illiana Douglas star in the best TV show to ever get canceled…well, before Arrested Development got dumped. 

Action.  Check it out and give it a chance.  Oh, don’t watch it in front of the kids.

Enjoy,

My new favorite site for at least today is: http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com/ This never fails to amaze me when you see pretty girls with douche-bags.  Not actual douche-bags, you see; that would be a hygiene issue clearly out of my jurisdiction.  No, I mean the douchy douche-bag guys that have that same look of satisfied entitlement in every picture they take with a pretty lady, foxy mamma, or swell dame (foxy mamma reference for our older readership; swell dame reference for our much older readership).There are several categories of douche-bag:
1. The gang banger – identified by multiple tattoos with at least 2 on the neck or one on the shoulder and a hands raised motion with some sort of finger contortion that signifies an alliance with a specific group of people; (perhaps other gang members or college fraturnity).  These douche-bags are usually found at the beer tent of a regional car show taking pictures with the Miller Light girls.

2. The discontented malcontent non-conformer – This douche-bag where’s his trucker hat with a completely flat brim.  His ears are pierced with hoops and his hair is shaped all day long with a shampoo Mohawk…you remember…from this morning?  Yeah, they have short hair so it just looks douchy.

3.  And others…

Ok, I’m bored and I have work to do so enjoy.

My fiance’ and I watched There Will Be Blood, (TWBB), last night and the movie never got any happier from start to finish.  As a matter of fact, it was decidedly worse in the end.  But damn!  Daniel Day Lewis, (DDL), is an actor.  When you look up the word Actor in my dictionary, there’s just a picture of DDL as Daniel Plainview.  I have to be honest and say that I did not read anything about TWBB until this morning.  If I had then perhaps we wouldn’t have watched it last night.  My review is simple:  the pace is deliberate.   The movie never slows down or speeds up.  There are action sequences but they are muted with the signature Paul Thomas Anderson long-shot, (I don’t really know if it’s his signature; I just remember in Boogie Nights the camera following William H. Macy like it did DDL).  In my book, the only actors on par with DDL are Don Cheadle, Philip Seymore Hoffman, Gary Oldman, Steve McQueen, Peter Sellers, Sean Penn, and (not just a postumous award) Heath Ledger.  I’m sure there are many, many others but my list comes from watching movies with these actors and not seeing the actors anymore.  Their perfomances were so different from movie-to-movie that you absolutely cannot see the actor anymore than you can compare apples to oranges.  I will probably add Christian Bale in there at some point but not quite yet; I can totally picture Bruce Wayne chasing a woman down the hallway with a chainsaw.  Wait, what was I talking about…I forget.

I just got an email from Jack Humphrey. He wrote it only to me and I know this because it was my email and he said, “David,” as the salutation. So, the next 300 paragraphs were written as a one-to-one communication to me. Wow, I feel special.

I watched the video about his new TrackBoost Software and I just gotta say…what a load of crap!

Here’s the news, (I’ll save you some money), the latest version of Wordpress automatically nofollows comments and trackbacks. So, nice video. It’s a handy piece of software to make your trackbacks easier but as far as useful for SEO purpose, you’re better off linking to yourself LIKE THIS.

Here’s a list of links to the articles Jack Humphrey supposedly got great SEO links from, (all of which are nofollow, by the way):

3. http://www.internetmarketingforums.net/articles-marketers-knowledge-base/7758-10-powerful-secrets-dazzling-sales-copy.html…but it’s not even a blog plus there are about 40 results for the phrase, “10 powerful secrets for dazzling sales copy”.

7. http://www.newmediabytes.com/2008/04/10/how-to-write-headlines-for-search-engines/

Check them out, (of course I have nofollowed all the links in honor of TrackBoost). I don’t know, man. It seems like everybody is out to make the trip even though the ship has sailed. Here’s the truth about all your 49 way traffic swap link building schemes…they don’t work. All the search engines are hip to your game, player! By all the search engines, I mean Google, Yahoo, and MSN…errr…LIVE. Ask.com is nothin’ but ads now. Go check it out, I’ll wait here.

I know there are literally hundreds of search engines out there…actually, make that thousands but you are wasting your time if you are trying to get to the top of the results for altavista or lycos. Just stop trying to game the system. Produce unique content that is decent enough that people want to read it. Don’t just throw a bunch of crap in there like Gebobooganringerdened, (I’m Googling that word in 1o minutes). The only bigger waste of time is looking for that “submit a site” link on Google.

Best of luck,

David

I had not been to Magic Mountain for years; at least 7 to be maybe somewhat close to accurate. They made plenty of improvements except for making it flat. I was hopeful when my girlfriend suggested we go. I thought to myself, “Self, I hope they’ve flattened out that mountainous region known as Magic Mountain. Since they renamed it to Six Flags California Read more
