This is an old blog that used to be known as The All You Can Nate Special: $5 Cover. I haven't done anything with it since 2007, but I'm thinking about getting back into blogging. At this blog, you'll find the random thoughts, political rants, alcohol-induced diatribes, and other musings of a Nebraska-born guy in his mid 20's. And then, you'll go through a time warp and find the ramblings of the same guy who is suddenly in his 30's, married, and a dad. Stranger things have happened.

Location: Nebraska, United States

Some might say that I'm the Man. And those who say so would be right. The reasons are various and sundry, and I don't particularly care to get into them. So I guess you'll just have to trust me. If you want to know more about me, be you a friend, stranger, hypochondriac, or even a narcoleptic, you'll just have to read on.

That old Street Fighter movie with Jean-Claude Van Damme in it was on earlier tonight. You know, the one based on the video game. Whoever wrote that piece of crap should be tried for crimes against humanity. I started bleeding out my eyes and ears as a result of watching. Strangely enough, Ming-Na Wen (Jing-Mei from ER) and Kylie Minogue were both in that movie. As hot as both of them are, nothing was going to stop that train wreck of a movie from sucking worse than any other flick in existence.

Eva Longoria continues to impress me. Is there anything she can't do?

My LAUNCHCast station will only play a bunch of teen-angsty crap tonight. It kinda pisses me off when it does that. I haven't been able to get the player to open at work for several weeks now, either. It's starting to drive me insane. The other day, that Cher song "If I Could Turn Back Time" was playing over the company muzak system. And before 10a, no less! It should be illegal for Cher's stuff to be played before noon. Otherwise, I lose my will to live. I'm sure the rest of you feel the same way.

At least they don't play Bjork.

Speaking of Bjork, several years back, some psychotic, obsessed fan of hers tried to kill her by mailing her an acid bomb. Then he painted up his face and killed himself so that they could be together in death. He videotaped the whole process, which they aired on television some time ago. I was sufficiently creeped out. And thankful, too, that my own stalkers and obsessed fans don't send me acid bombs via the postal service.

I'm really looking forward to the weekend. The last couple weeks have been pretty busy, and I'm ready to answer the Call of the Bar. Especially one with an overcrowded, claustrophobia-inducing dance floor, flashing lights, and phat beats. And, most importantly, the hotties. The dance floor would be rather empty without them, after all.

Whoa, a preview of the Aeon Flux movie. It looks like it might be decent. Charlize Theron certainly makes for a hot Aeon. I still remember watching the Aeon Flux short 'toons on MTV's Liquid Television. I would've been 13 or 14 at the time. Besides Aeon, Liquid Television was also the progenitor of Beavis & Butt-Head. Oh, how I miss that show. It always made my folks cross when I'd watch it. I remember pushing them out the door to go for a walk late at night so that I could watch it without getting caught. :)

I didn't have to go into the office until noon today, so I went for a walk early this morning. It sure cooled down a lot. Right now, I think the temperature may even be in the 20's. I'm not complaining; this time of year is supposed to be chilly. It's invigorating, really. Then again, I have quite a lot of Viking blood in me, so that may explain things.


And now, I'll close with one more Halloween picture. Here I am with my sister, Kirsten, who is dressed as Tinkerbell. When you think about it, art is imitating life. After all, I'm sure Hunter S. Thompson had many chemically induced visions of Tinkerbell. It's a little-known fact that the journey to the heart of the American Dream is fraught with such things.
