We all like getting free stuff, hell sometimes even if I don't like what it is I just take it because it's free. I think that might be because I have some undiagnosed medical condition, but that's a topic for another blog. Anyway, the other day while stumbling around on the internet I found this hack you can do in order to get a free Blockbuster Rental. All you have to do is go to www.mycokerewards.com and type in this code:
100084616172235
A word of note in order for this to work you do need a My Coke Rewards account, but it's free to get if you don't already have one. So if you like movies and enjoy getting free things give this a try.

Just the other day I stumbled upon some interesting trivia concerning one of my favorite bands from the 90's, Soundgarden. It had to do with their first full length studio album Ultramega OK. On that album are 2 songs that are titled 665 and 667. They named those two songs with those numbers as a joke, they thought that the idea of heavy metal being obsessed with black magic and satan was hilarious. So figuring that 666 is the number of the beast, that 665 and 667 must encompass something satanic also.
The song 665 is actually a parody of music tracks containing so called hidden messages from Satan if played backwards. When you play this song in reverse, you can hear Chris Cornell screaming such things as "Santa is my King" and "I need you Santa baby" and other things. Take a listen to it but be warned listening to the following may cause you to do evil things, like put candy canes in people's socks.

Color Me Kubrick is the truish story of an Englisman named, Alan Conway. Mr. Conway, during the mid-90's was a con man who would go around telling people that he was the reclusive world famous director Stanley Kubrick. The funny thing about this story is that Mr. Conway was openly gay and bore no physical resemblance to Stanley Kubrick nor did he know a great deal about his films.
This film follows Mr. Conway around on a number of adventures where he impersonates Mr. Kubrick, from the time he told a heavy metal band that he was going to make them famous to when he was going to produce a Las Vegas show for a closeted gay musical comic. This film was alright, not outstanding the only reason I would tell someone to see it would be to watch John Malkovich in the lead role. He plays Alan Conway and is just simply amazing to watch. His campy over the top performance hilarious and is comedic genius.

Ok so a week ago was Go Skateboarding Day(June 21), apparently no one told me about it because I would of dusted off my Mike Vallely everslick and popped some ollies, that is if my old man knees could of handled it.
So on Go Skateboarding Day, it seems that a group of skateboarders in Arkansas got a little more than they bargained for. They got hassled by a cop and a few of them got roughed up and arrested. Now when I say rough up I mean they got choked, thrown to the ground, and threatened with being maced. These boys and girls were only 13-16 and from my view didn't deserve the amount of force that was used, regardless of whether they gave the lone cop a hard time or not(which I'm sure they did give the cop a hard time). But really getting a 14 year old girl in a choke hold come on.
Now I'm the first to admit that a pack of skateboarders can be loud, obnoxious and have a f*ck you attitude when they are skateboarding. Growing up my friends and I have been hassled by cops/security guards while skateboarding, but we never gave them any lip. We just politely moved on, found another skate spot and would come back again when the cops/security guards where gone. See the thing is that yeah alot of cops out there are jerks and like to abuse their power but for the most part if your cool towards them they'll be cool back, sometimes it is really that simple.
So below is a video of the incident that took place in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Also below is the contact information for the Hot Springs Arkansas Police Department, just incase you want to let them know how you feel about this incident.

So this morning, a friend of mine over at Mercy Rule's blog sent me an email about how his towns government, Stoneham, Massachusetts has eliminated sports, music and art programs from their towns budget. It's really unfortunate that it is these programs, that can really make a difference in a kids life are always the first to go. It is these programs that alot of kids love and look forward too, while at the same time keeping them out of trouble. If it wasn't for the art classes or the sports programs that I participated in, while in school I wouldn't be were I am now or have the life long friends that I have. You can find out more information about this at savethespartans.com.

It's been awhile since I've given you a real good time wasting activity. So in order to break that drought here's something worth your while. This time wasting activity comes straight from the Monterey Bay Aquarium. At their website you will find a bunch of live cams that you can check out. There is the penguin cam and my favorite the sea otter cam. There are also other live cams that you can check out too. So while your sweating away in a hot office this summer go check out some of the live cams and waste some time.

Here's my first book review, well actually it's not a complete review since I didn't finish the book. Ok I know I had mentioned in my previous blog, well actually here's the exact thing I said:
This won't be a long review because there really isn't much to say about this film. All in all this film was pretty boring. I'm one of those people that will sit thru an entire movie or read a whole book once I start it, even if I don't like it. Well this was one of those movies. I kept looking at the timer to see if it was almost over. Richard Linklater probably would of been better off making a straight up documentary based on the book of the same name, instead of making a movie based on the ideas and facts put forth in the book.
So all in all I'd be lying if I said that this movie didn't have it's moments but your time would be better served by just reading the book Fast Food Nation, by Eric Schlosser instead. The book was one hundred times better than the movie, but isn't that always the case.

Will Ferrell is one funny guy but what do you get when you have Will Ferrell and a cursing little girl, named Pearl. You get one extremely funny short video. Check the video out show it to all your friends because it's really funny. Although what is up with Will's hair he has like an afro? Pearl is great too, hopefully her and Will will work together again in the future. Oh and did I say that this was really funny?

So I was clued into this funny video by a friend of mine and he thought it would be a great video to post here on Wasting Time. This video features the Pearl Jam song Yellow Ledbetter and how one might mishear the lyrics of the song. I think one of my favorite lines is "make me fries" and also "potato wave". Very Funny stuff.
also if anyone else has anything that you think should be featured on Wasting Time , just let me know.

Nirvana was one of my favorite bands of all time when I was growing up. So today, I was pleasantly surprised to come across this video clip of them playing at a local bar that I frequent from time to time, named Maxwell's. This performance is from 1989 before Nevermind and even a hint of mainstream success was upon them. Dave Grohl wasn't even the drummer yet(Chad Channing was) and they still had a second guitarist(Jason Everman). The clip features 3 songs all from their first album Bleach. It must of been wild to see Nirvana play in such a small place. Sadly to say that I never got around to see Nirvana play live. With that said I think I'm going to go fill up my iPod with a bunch of Nirvana songs and daydream about what it would be like if Kurt Kobain was still alive and making music today.

For the past month or so I've been listening to nothing but the Arctic Monkeys on my iPod. I know that they were once touted as the next big thing from Britain when they first blipped on the radar over here, but I didn't really pay much attention to them. That all changed on a whim when I got their album Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not. Their are some really great tunes on the album from Riot Van to Perhaps Vampires Is A Bit Strong But...
You hate to classify music but if I had to I would describe it as indie-punk-pop. I know that thats a bit of a odd combination of musical descriptions but let me clear it up for you. I classify it as indie-punk-pop and not just solely as pop-punk because with been brainwashed my the current trends of music into believe punk music today is some band that has a number somewhere in its name, the members have tattoos, their video is usually played after a Britney Spears video on MTV and they site their musical influences as far back as Green Day. No offense to Green Day, I've actually have come to like them as they've progressed in their career, but that's a whole nother blog. So indie-punk sounded like a good description since I would classify them as punk but not mainstream pop punk. I also threw in the label pop, because a good deal of their songs if given a chance could be radio hits and the popular(hence the label pop) culture would like them. Lets me put it this way this is a band that you would have lots of fun listening too/watching in a crowded bar drinking pints of beer with your friends. What's better than that.
Okay enough of that, basically enough of that. If you haven't heard of or listened to any of the Arctic Monkey's music, well your in luck they will be releasing a new album aptly titled Favourite Worst Nightmare, April 23rd. You can check out some of the tracks and see what some other blogs are saying about them, if you scroll down to my newly implemented Hype Machine Widget, located in the left sidebar. You can also hear a couple songs on their myspace profile.

Ok I have to let everyone know about this great site I've been using for a little while now.The website is called The Hype Machine. What is the Hype Machine? Well basically it's a site that tracks and follows music blogs, listing links to song tracks that are featured on a particular blog. Maybe you still don't get it. Let me give you an example. Go to The Hype Machine, type in a musical artist your interested in and viola a list of links to music blogs pops up along with the particular music track that is featured on the blog. This is a great way to listen to a new artist and to see if you really want to go spend your hard earned cash on their CD or if you just want to purchase that one particle song.
On a side note the majority of these blogs that The Hype Machine is listing features mp3 downloads of the songs free of charge. Now I'm not advocating downloading copyrighted music with out paying for it but that option is there and I will leave that up to your own moral judgement.
On a added note I just added this cool new widget on the left side sidebar of my blog. It's a widget from The Hype Machine that displays the top ten most popular tracks on Hype Machine. GO ahead scroll down and check it out!

So I'm going to forgo this weeks Time Wasting Video with another sort of video, that I plan on making into a weekly or bi-weekly installment on my blog. It is a Time Wasting Video but a video that is worth wasting your time watching.
This video is actually a video blog made by some Canadian who is doing a candy exchange. Let me explain it a bit better. This guy, who goes by the name of RussonaBuss is exchanging candy with people from around the world. When he receives the candy he than does a video critic of the candy. Now I know it might not seem too exciting but his videos are very funny, especially when he tries to do an accent of the person who sent him candy. His reviews can range from the positive to the down right negative, he actually almost threw up from eating some truly disgusting candy from Holland. Anyway to make a long story short, I happened to have stumbled upon his videos while wasting some time on the internet, I contacted him and asked his permission to feature his video blogs on my blog. He gave me the go ahead.
This is the first video of his candy exchange, be warned it is very long and he rambles on a bit, but I figured I should start this at the beginning. Be assured though that as he continues his videos do get shorter and funnier. So hopefully you'll be checking in from time to time to see his videos. And with out further ado I now present the Great Candy Exchange.
