The end of the internet

You know when people always say they have reached the end of the internet, I know they are lying but I understand the underlying meaning. Today I reached the end of the internet. Yes by 10:03 am just 2 hours into my work day I have reached the end of the internet. Why/ How you might ask? The answer is simple, I ran out of videos on funny or die, tina (the youtube sensation) set her videos to private, oh and I watched the latest Clark and Michael video.

Everyday people go to work, and in most cases are severely under stimulated by their work. In my case, my normally fairly interesting job has recently hit a snag. I ran out of work to do, I am in fact too productive. So like many of my fellow workers of the world I turn to the internet for some entertainment. I always hit bestweekever.tv first. For those of you who have not discovered this blog you need to. I go there because the editors speak my language. They have the right balance of quick wit and gross humor. I then normally follow their links on a continued search for entertainment.

I blame funny or die's "The Landlord" for elevating my internet entertainment to such a snotty and hard to please place. For those of you who have not seen it, just go now and watch it. For those of you who have and are offended, this is not the blog for you. Pearl is both cute and hilarious, and its just plain fun. Kind of like Michael Cera, he is someone you look at and think man where has this guy been hiding, apparently in plain site on the internet, or in a small big screen hit Superbad. Thanks to my procrastination mixed with a lack of work to do, I have discovered a whole new world of internet stars.

With the writers strike f'ing with my tv schedule I turn to the trashy world of tmz.com and mtv reality shows for entertainment. Clearly I am underwhelmed. So then I retreat to the internet, normally reserved for work hour desperation only. I understand the point of the writers strike, don't get me wrong, but man I didn't realize how much my brain depended on that 1/2 hour sitcom or full hour drama to get me through the week. Now every night will be tuesday night, and everyone knows there is nothing worth watching on a tuesday night. Boredom may even drive me to work out, which is both frightening and shocking.

Thank God for the internet, because so far it has gotten me through the week moments where I almost become... dare I say... un-american, in the fact that I am no longer glued to a tv, dependent on trashy news, or hooked to some hilarious youtube video. It might actually force me to become social again. Imagine that, talking to people face to face, no cell phone or google chat between us. Frightening I know.

In the end I don't know whether to thank the writers for striking, yell at best week ever to step up on the post for my entertainment only, or to perhaps take some initiative and maybe go above and beyond the call of duty at work. What I do know is this, I have way to much time on my hands and someone better help me find a damn hobby, anyone know how to whittle?

How could I forget the Ultimate Fighters

And for your viewing pleasure, the lost night at Carol's with the Ultimate Fighters:

Long time no talk. Hmm... whats happened since my last installment. Well I fell out of a lawn chair, got promoted, and watched my big brother get hitched (In other words the boring life of an early 20 something). Oh and of course Halloween. This year I dressed up as Debbie Harry not quite as good as last years brit brit but pretty good. I was debating between Tammy Fae, Suri Cruise and Debbie Harry. I think Tammy Fae would have been a hit. Oh well, there is always next year, or next costume party.
KC, Beth and I were thinking about doing a costume party for our birthday (6 months away, but can never plan too soon). I am thinking we should do our favorite childhood cartoon character (It would be a toss up between Shera and Smurfette for me). The idea of throwing an office party where you dress up like a coworker was also brought up. I think that could have some potential as well. (Elaine... oh that would be the sweet comeuppance I have been waiting for.)

Hilarity has been toned down quite a bit as I have been working my butt off and traveling like a crazy person. Frequent flyer miles wahoo. Although most of them are Southwest so I would be stuck in the United States. I kind of hate the fact I love my job, I know that sounds strange, but it really holds me here. I always thought at this time in my life I would be traveling the world and in between jaunts living off my parents like every other early 20 something does in this country. There is a feeling of pride that I am not doing that, I am a very well employed 24 year old, who lives in a great city, in her own place, with great friends. But at the same time I think we all have thoughts of abandoning responsibility, throwing caution into the wind, and traveling this crazy world looking to find ourselves.
The idea of finding myself has been bugging me for the past month or so, I spend a lot of alone reflection time, which I try to distract myself from through horrible "reality" tv such as the Hills. Instead I find myself at that classic crossroad of twenty-dom, I find myself living a life that I really feel like I have no power over. Its almost as if falling out of a lawn chair, pissed to high heavens, is my act of rebellion as I am lead down this life track. Who knows, maybe I should just accept my good fortune and make the best of the hand dealt to me. A lot of people are way worse off in this world, I just need to suck it up and realize that I am doing good things, even if it wasn't what I thought I would be doing. Ok enough of that, here are a montage if you will of pictures of the past few weeks to give you a insight to the insanity:The Bride and Groom

Me and the brohan

Cory and had a little too much fun at the wedding.Abigail as Bjork... Priceless...

More fun photos to come. My internet is being a bitch.

P.S. I may or may not have made out with a guy dressed up like batman on the dance floor at smart bar... I may or may not have found out his name is don and he is an accountant and then told him I had to leave immediately. This is all hypothetical of course.
