My first Tool show.

This show was amazing. It was a total experience. I had a blast. 

Creating a Blog!! Creating a Blog!! I am creating a blog Post

I want to blog about nothing today. I want to ramble on about nothing in particular just because I know I can get away with it. No one reads this blog so I can virtually say and do whatever I want on here. And today I want to spend some time on the topic of "Nothing" Lets see where shall we begin how about the begining. I have always found it a great place to start and lets face it its what the people want. Every started to read a book that started at the end its no fun. Half way through you just stop reading Why? YOU ALREADY KNOW THE ENDING.

Facebooks concern only goes so far.

Why is it that when I have not logged into facebook for a couple of days I get email after email from “The Facebook Team” wanting to know if I am ok? Notices of what I may be missing out on flood my inbox urging me to just log on again, if only for a moment, perhaps just to check out your notifications. Though if I have been logged onto facebook for four days straight I get nothing. Where has facebooks concern gone to? Where is my email from the facebook team now? Maybe just a little reminder email stating "Here is something you might have missed while logged onto facebook, Sunlight."

Show Off Your Grinch like Spirit this Year

All the who's is whoville wont even see you coming. Impress your family this year with your one of a kind grinchtastic attitude. Put this shirt on and you will be transported into the middle of your favorite family Christmas classic.

Five hour energy in apparel form

Are you tired of waking up still asleep? Do you curse the inventor of the alarm clock every morning? If only there were a way to wake up refreshed, to start the day with a spring in your step. But how? Energy drinks contain harsh chemicals that could make you sterile. Coffee will force you to blurt out inappropriate things at work time meetings causing you to get fired (no one likes the inappropriate jittery guy). The solution is simple put on this t-shirt and feel like your fifteen again unless you are in fact fifteen, but if you are fifteen and in need of an energy burst already you must be on drugs. In that case stop using meth and buy the shirt anyway.

How to get out of a parking ticket

So in June of last year I got a parking ticket just outside the Seattle aquarium. I knew my time had expired but thought nothing of the 20 dollar ticket that might be on my window when I returned. When I finally made it back to my car and found a parking ticket, I was not surprised. I was surprised to find that the dollar amount of parking tickets had risen to 35 dollars. I thought to myself there is no way I was going to pay this fine it was outrageous. So I checked the "Mitigation by Mail" option and set out to craft a letter that would absolve me of this fine.

Here is the letter.

All names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Case # XXXXXXX                                                                             June 6^th, 2010

Dear: Honorable Judge

Of the Municipal Court of Seattle

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read my letter. I don’t really know where to start so lets try the beginning and see if that gets us where were going.

 I had every intention on making it back to my car within the allotted time I had purchased. I was at the aquarium with my soon to be wife and her son that day. Billy is six and I love him like he was my own, but it seems that he always waits till the last possible second before informing us of his bathroom needs. He also possesses an uncanny ability to sense when he is just out of makeable range from a toilet. I won’t go into anymore detail out of consideration to you; let’s just say new pants were purchased. 

I fully admit I committed this infraction. Sometimes life has a way of utterly destroying even the best of intentions. I just wanted you to know the reasoning behind it. I’m not one of those people who play parking officer roulette. I was not mad when I arrived back at my car and found my ticket. If you can’t see any reason to reduce my fine it wont burdened me financially. I’m just glad I had the opportunity to explain.

I won’t take up anymore of your time. I just want to thank you again for reading my letter. I hope it wasn’t too painful. I thought about it and this is the first actual letter I have written in about 10 years. I wanted to handwrite it, but being a child of the computer age penmanship was only stressed until third grade. You will notice by my signature that I have suffered because of this.

Respectfully,

Dan Fielding

So what happened?

I was hoping that through this letter the judge would reduce my fine. Well I few weeks later I got a note from the court telling me that I now owe $0 dollars.

Will PETA approve of these Shoes

I was just wondering are there degrees of animal rights advocates out there? Just like vegans are there different levels of PETA members? No animals were hurt in the making of these shoes, but is even the image of cow hide on products offensive to hardcore animal lovers? I don’t know. I always thought it was ironic that the term "ANIMAL LOVER" could be used to describe people on either side of this issue.
