fuzmeister: Quick Follow-Up Rant

---

WTF is this shit?!

What inspired me to post an old ad for crystal pepsi on Vent was "Paradise Mango Pepsi Next." I got this stuff super cheap over the weekend at a local grocery store. A 12-pack was on sale for $2.99 and the case had a manufacturer's coupon right on the side. The final price of entry for a 12-pack was $1.99 or under twenty cents per can.

The soda itself is weird, but alright. The low cost though got me remembering buying horrible pepsi blue ten years ago for about forty cents per bottle. How many ridiculous side sodas have there been through the years? I remembered diet pepsi jazz, diet coke with lemon, and even the weird coke that had coffee with it.

Jeez. We live in a country where there have been at least ten diet pepsi variants in just the past five years. I know everyone wants to make a buck, but give it a break, soda people... AND STOP PUTTING MANGOS IN MY COLA!

fuzmeister: Don't Know What's Worse...

1. Me taking time out of my life to watch the following video.
2. The fact that I actually drank this stuff two decades ago.



Then again, I was young and stupid in those days. Now, I'm just stupid.

fuzmeister: The A-Team

---

I never thought I'd be saying this, but after finally just seeing the 2010 A-Team film, I'm convinced it's the best possible film they could have made.

Good fun with completely over the top action...

I must be mellowing in my old age...

fuzmeister: Relapse To Less

I guess sometimes we do things for the sheer enjoyment of doing them. I attempt to subscribe to a belief in which their is sound reason besides such for doing everything; I try to live by this philosophy at least. However, we occasionally all seem to require or want the necessary mindless drivel that just makes us go "hurrr, yay!"

I listened to some Darude and Robert Miles this evening after work. It was virtually mindless though I must say I noticed some things in their music I didn't roughly six years ago or so when I was going through that musical phase of my life.

There's quite a stark influence from ambient music which I have grown to love so much... particularly on Miles' Dreamland album.

Never say never I guess and never condemn anything 100%... you may come back to find good in it someday.

fuzmeister: Aura of Geekiness

The 90's were really quite geek-centric when all is considered... at least in terms of what was acceptable socially speaking. I only wish I could've lived in my twenties during those years...
