Well, I watched Burn After Reading today. I must say, I enjoyed it a lot. It seems that the Coen brothers have created the idea that since they are such great Directors, they can make a movie that is absouletly pointless and make it golden.
They did just that, the movie has no main plot or incentive. Just a bunch of idiots running around blackmailing and craving over the world of money and perfection.
It was really based around true satire which is a great concept. Satire can be placed in so many places and situations. Perfect example. What you could do with $50.00
Plant X amount of trees to plant in our backyards. Send X amount of food and aid to familes in developing countries.
OR
Buy 25 cups of coffee, buy 3 DVD's, or 1 Video Game.
Ahh Satire, the Coen Brothers capture it perfectly. Not the most amazing movie. But, still good.
I enjoyed it.

15 Years Ago.
15 years ago, I moved here from Mobile, AL. I was raised in this beautiful valley; as many people say, with love, respect, kindess and manners. All of my childhood memories are mainly in the setting of this small town we all call Cave Junction. When we moved here, my mother always spoke about how amazing the town was. Everyone knew everyone, everyone had respect for one another. People greeted eachother at the post office and at the local super market. My friends and I when I was just in Elementry school would meet at the baseball field at Jubelee Park and toss a ball around. I hit my first homerun in that field in 6th grade. That park was a great park. Clean, and filled with wonderful people.
Well...Times has changed.
People do not exchange words at the post office inless to ask for money. So they could buy beer because most of the people living in this town today are homeless drunken bastards. This so called beautiful valley, is not beautiful anymore. It's filled with many individuals in their twenties that never even graduated from High School. From Illinois Valley High School.
You have to be either mentally retarded or just drunk 24/7 to not pass IVHS.
Well I guess that's about 90% of Cave Junction right there. You walk down the street and you see trash, pot holes in roads because our town has no money. And no, it's not the Economy. Our valley never had any money. People let this town go, and so have I. That's why moving is the highlight of my entire teenage years. I'll forget all of my childhood memories of this place and fill them with the memories I will create in Portland and wherever else life takes me.
Although not everyone in Cave Junction is horrible....
Kyle. I love you very much and I'm going to miss you so much. You have been a great friend and a kind brother. I enjoyed living with you for the time I did. It occured to me that everytime we hang out, another adventure starts. Whether it's pissing in my fish tank because Kirk needed to just go. Or golfing off of my roof. Those memories will never leave me. Thank you, for making waking up to this shithole of a town a little better :).
Melissa. We have lived next to eachother for nine years but only became friends about two years ago. In those times we have become close and I appreciate that. You've been a great friend and a good listener. We've had some good times watching weird indie movies together and seeing The Decemberists. Lol, I remember when You, Kurtiss, Kyle and I walked around town trying to figure out which element we all were. I called Wind but Kurtiss was throwing a fit lol. OH! and driving to every video store in town to find Breakfest in Pluto which we couldn't find. Good times.
Sean. You're a very...how can I say. Egotistical son of a bitch. That's what makes you Sean, and without that little thing about you, well you wouldn't be interesting to hang out with. What I'm saying is I love you man, you're hilarious and a blast to hang out with. Times were great and you still need to teach me how to do a black flip.
What I'm saying to all of you is that I'm going to miss you all very, very much. Like I said. I will create a lot of great memories in Portland, but I wish you all could create them with me. The only reason i'll come to Cave Junction or GP ever again is to see you guys. Life won't be the same without you.
Harlan, Brett, Jan, many others. I will miss you all too.
Any others who which I forgot to mention, I'm sorry I'll miss you too! Promise.
I'm glad that Brittany and I get to start our life in the big city together. In a few, long years we will start a family and you can all come see little Bobo's running around!! yay!!.
That's not for like....1048012394803 more years though :)
So stick around.
15 years later, I'm moving away from the once beautiful town to a big, scary city to pursue my dreams of becoming a Chef.
SO ALL OF YOU BETTER FUCKING VISIT ME
Or, I'll be pissed.
You DO NOT want to make Bobo pissed. Or I will spit fire on all of you
Nah, I'll spare you lol.
Anyways, it was fun and I love you all.
9 more days and GOODBYE Cave Junction, HELLO Portland.
Then I could be closer to Amanda, and everyone knows my sister is the best fucking sister in the world.
Brittany, I LOVE YOU :) we have a sofa.
Cordially,
The kid hopfully most of you will remember :)

Questionare?
David: Mr. Bobo, I have a question for you. Well more like a scenario.
Mr. Bobo: Continue
David: Let's say you were in a room and you had two options. First let me start by stating killing yourself, sadly, is not an option.
Mr. Bobo: Understood, killing yourself= negative. Continue.
David: Okay, you're in a room with two doors on the end. In the first door is a very short fat woman. She has scars and burns all over her body. She smells like dogfood and her vagina is that of a fish's vagina. She has three arms and one leg and her friends refer to her as lucky. She has one eye and is covered in human poo.
Mr. Bobo: ....
David: In the next door is a beautiful blonde with amazing breasts and a perfect body BUT she used to be a man three weeks ago. Which one would you fuck?
Mr. Bobo: The Troll...
David: WTF!?
Mr. Bobo: I would rather put my wenis in a vagina that was a vagina at birth and not an inside out wang. I would puke in the process, but I would not be gay. Win.
David: Good answer.
Mr. Bobo: Now David, let me ask you a question.
David: Okay, continue.
Mr. Bobo: Why are you asking me this?
David: Well, it's interesting.
Mr. Bobo: Better question, why did you think of this?
David: I was up one night in my bed thinking about which one I would bone.
Mr. Bobo: Even better question then. WHY ARE YOU LAYING IN YOUR BED AT NIGHT THINKING ABOUT DOING EITHER A TRANNY OR A TROLL
David: "Silence"
Mr. Bobo: Win.
Mr. Bobo: Continue

Thanksgiving
Had a lot of fun today with my family. It was so great seeing my Sister and my Uncle for the holiday. We ate a lot of food, played some games and I meet Amanda's friend Bryon. He's pretty rad. I got a bunch of new clothes, which I needed very badly. Were leaving soon for Black Friday. Going to Walmart at 3:00am and getting a bunch of stuff. I love the Holiday's lol, I can't wait for Christmas. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I sure did :)

iPhone Vs. G1
As most of you already know. I did a review a few weeks back on the G1, and did a compare and contrast with the iPhone. However, I want to throw that review in the trash. After doing a lot more research and really getting to see what the G1 can do. I think it is best that I re-write that review. I have always been an Apple fanboi. I've wanted to get the iPhone 3G for a while now and make the switch from my Mogul. I'm changing my mind. Here is why.
As you know, I'm a developer. A big reason why I got the Mogul(Which still is to me an amazing device). If I got the iphone, I would get bored out of my mind in one day tops. The iphone is not a open platform. Even though, the interface is close to perfect it still needs work. I've been reading up on countless blogs about how the iPhone, even after the new firmware, just keeps crashing. Apps fail, battery life is still draining, GPS isnt coming up and you have to go to such lenthgs, as with jailbreaking, just to get your device up to its peek performance. The G1, however, is open platform :)
I'm very glad that Google made the decision to one, go with an open platform device, and make it more userfriendly. And two, put the Android on an HTC Device. I adore HTC devices. The Mogul was a great device for me to explore the possiblites on customazing the interface. With the Mogul,I learned how to re-write congifs on a lot of great programs not made for the Mogul, to make it work for the Mogul. I accomplished getting Vista on my phone working better then on a PC, which by the way, is not an easy task. Took countless hours of me sitting at my computer and not calling my girlfriend back. Sorry Brittany, I love you. The G1 has opened new doors for developers to be able to create awesome programs, without the lag of WM6. Let's face it, no matter what you do to lets say a Mogul, or a Tilt or a Diamond. You are still going to have lag. WM6 is king with lag. Even though I got pretty awesome programs and software running on my device, I could not get it up to its peek performance due to lag. Also, I love touchscreens. However, I am very tired of the "stylus touch screens" I want finger friendly programs. I want a finger friendly phone. Which Apple has accomplished. BUT! So has Google, and they surpassed Apple in my opinion. The touchscreen on the G1 is great and very fingerfriendly, no stylus included!!!! HTC has FINALLY realized that it's 2008! not the late 90's. No more Stylus and PDA's. It's all about finger friendly devices.
Lets talk about Open Platform shall we? Google did a great job in developing this. There are already a lot of Apps for the G1 and best of all, most of the users are creating them. If you know how to write programs. Then use your talents to create an awesome application. You don't even need to show it off to Google, just post it up on some Forum for users to use and share with the community. No killswitch, no disapproves. You create it, and stream it on your device. I also like how the G1 has three home screens, all with different functionalites. And all you can customamize. Let's dicuss the actual device, the HTC G1, aka The Dream. In my opinion, its ugly. I hate the chin on the device, it looks like it might be hard to text on it. The keyboard is spaced out but not as flushed as I would like to see it. But HTC keep true with the soft material they use for keyboards, which I love. The screen is very responsive and pretty damn big. It has no headphone jack, which is a con and no stearo bluetooth, another letdown. It has a 3 MP Camera with Flash, and guess what Apple! Copy and Paste!! Muahaha.
There is so much more about the G1 that is truly amazing. For more in depth reviews on it check out Noahs videos on phonedog.com. He has a multiple part reviews showing off its email and texting functions. Applications and GPS, Multimedia, and an overview on the actual device.
Google still has a while to go, I think the Android Platform is amazing and almost flawless, the device itself however could use a little make up to it. It needs to slimmer and no chin on it. Give it a 2.5mm headphone jack and stearo bluetooth and in a couple years the iPhone will be like the Playstation 1.
