Letter to the Professor

Academic Research Jimbo Style

After doing some research for a paper with no luck I decided to reach out to my history professor. Here is a copy of my tirade . . .

I'll See You in December

End of Summer, Beginning of School

     There's a slight hint of Fall in the air. A little is from silver mornings of low clouds, and a little is from an ever-so-gentle bite in the air. It comes in with the ceaseless Nevadan wind, which has picked up the last few days. And the sun, it doesn't feel as heavy lately. I know that soon, the bite will turn colder and move through me more easily. 

     A new semester starts tomorrow, and I keep forgetting it's the end of Summer. It barely feels like I had one at all. More like I cheated myself out of it with a class and washing dishes. 

     This feels like it's going to be harder than the last one. It feels like it's going to start getting dark sooner. It feels like I'm going to be buried in books and study and writing. A solitary but not exclusive-to-me process of putting my head down and plowing through.

I'll see you on December 18th . . .    

Wind Storm!

Fences, Shingles, Water Damage, Asbestos Abatement, and Power Poles.

Or: How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Wind.   

     Last February we had an absolutely massive wind storm here in Gardnerville, NV. It caused a lot of damage all over the area, mostly to roofs, fences, and power line poles. Our house was not spared. 

               

I Got an "F"

That's an "F" for FUCK YEAH!

Haircut

A Man, his Barber, a Haircut, and Denial of Vanity

After two and a half years of letting my hair grow, I decided it was finally time to get a haircut. So I took the three hour drive from 
G-Ville to Sacramento to see my old friend 
Anthony Giannotti; aka Anthony the Barber.

True Crime Trading Cards

You may remember a post from a few weeks ago where I mentioned my set of True Crime trading cards. I have the entire collection, save two bonus cards. I'll talk more about that later on in this this article. All of the following images are scans from my personal set of cards. ENJOY!

Now hold on just one second there folks! I know what you're thinking... "Oh boy! Jimbo's at it again talking about balls or pumping or cocksnot, and liberally abusing the "fuck" word with his usual complete disregard for taste and decorum again." Well.... 

YOU'RE WRONG!!!

Mossberg 590

This is the only video you'll ever need to see of a boy and his new shotgun. After months and months of saving up I finally got one. I've wanted on for years, and now I have it! 
A few tips on how to enjoy this video that I EXHAUSTIVELY worked on for several weeks...

A Very Important Message

A very important message by yours truly. A PSA, if you will. I hope you'll watch this entire video I made where I discuss a major lifestyle change. I usually do a lot of joking around or whatever, but this is in all seriousness. It's a bit lengthy, as I tend to ramble on, and go into these things shooting from the hip. It's very important to me that you all watch this, I appreciate it.

   

Off to New Zealand!

Blood Moon 2014

In case any of you dumb asses missed the Blood Moon last week, I took some pictures of it that you can now view here.

Speaking of dumb asses...
                     

All pictures, memes, and video below were taken by yours truly. ENJOY! 

Here's what the moon normally looks like, in case you are not familiar with it.

Getting My Shit Together

So 2013 was a pretty odd mix of ups and downs for me. My folks got divorced, leaving my dad and I to take care of his (now) 102 year old mother, in a house that no one can afford to make the payments on yadda yadda yadda. On the other hand, I finally found a job a year ago February. And not only did I start working and making a little bit of money, the job has gone quite smoothly. Those of you that know me well, know that I have had trouble in the past keeping jobs, and have floated around from one "career" to the next, and was never really able to make anything come out of it. So far for the last year and a month I have not allowed myself to be plagued by my old habits; insomnia, always late to work, causing problems, consumed by depression, fucking off too much on weeknights, etc etc. Some of these things still happen, of course. But the key phrase is "not allowed". I feel that I have taken much greater command of myself and my life than I ever have before. Which brings us to 2014.

Jimbo's Rants Backed by SCIENCE!

If you're not an asshole and read my post from yesterday, then you'll enjoy this! One of my gillions of subscribers and AVID reader of my shitty blog, my friend Jason from Seattle, WA, just shared with me an article that completely supports everything I had to say about the Maserati car commercial. The best part? It's backed with SCIENCE! Science, motherfuckers! Fucking SCIENCE 'n shit, bitch!

2014 Super Bowl Commercial Reviews!

It's that time of year again, folks! The big day where everyone watches the "Big Game" and pigs out on shitty but awesome snack foods. You don't have to be a fan of American football to enjoy this unofficial holiday. It's kinda like Thanksgiving 2.0. Except that the yelling and screaming is directed towards the television, not relatives. And actually, the big day was yesterday.

One reason a lot of people watch the Super Bowl is to see all the nifty new advertising campaigns during commercial breaks. After seeing a few of these, I felt I had to offer my thoughts on some of them. I just simply HAVE TO! So let's jump right in!

First up, the Maserati commercial... 

Jim Blows Huge Loads Onto several Jugs!

Home Made Targets!

This video is also living proof that I do not belong anywhere near a construction site. Now, whenever some handy-man type is trying to convince me to go help them build some shit, I can just show 'em this video and they'll stop bugging me!

   

And here's a video of me being a little bitch!

   

Second Hand Yosemite Smoke

So there's a huge fire in Yosemite right now, and the wind has blown all the smoke from it into my hood. Got some pretty good shots of the sun. They woulda been a lot better if I had a better tripod. Or if I had any inkling of an idea of what the fuck I'm doing... 
Enjoy!
