links of things I look at/like

  • [13 Roses Tattoo] — This is a great tattoo parlor in East Atlanta, filled with great artists. If you are in the market for some great ink, check it out!
  • [Air America Radio] –In these uncertain times where the media is controlled by the conservative party, and who knows what is real anymore, it is very important to have a reliable news source that provides listeners with facts, not just opinions. The Air America radio station does just that. It is hard to have a wrong opinion about a sound bite folks, especially when it comes out of the horses’ mouth, or ass, whichever you so choose to define it. Listen up, and let yourself be educated as to what is really going on in this country, not just what the conservative media says is going on.
  • [Birthday Alarm]– For those of you that have a really bad memory for dates and birthdays, like I do, comes the best way to remember! Birthday alarm. They keep up with the dates for you, and send you reminders. Sweet!
  • [Brilliant Button Maker]– Um, doesn’t the title say enough? For making your own brilliant 80×15 buttons, GO HERE!
  • [Chromasia] — A beautiful photoblog, that is full of amazing photos. This is a link to the thumbnails page.
  • [Chuck Marshall] — This is my friend Chuck’s website. It is full of useful information regarding science, since he is a science teacher, and he uses this site for teaching. Whew! (Chuck is the one that introduced me to flash, and convinced me that having my own domain was a good idea. That was before he knew what this would become… BUWAHAHAHAHA!)
  • [Commercial Closet] –This website focuses on the presence of gay/lesbian culture and representation in the media, specifically within advertising. On this site, you can look at photographs of advertisements, as well as view commercials that feature gay and lesbian undertones and expressions, both positive and negative. You could easily spend an hour watching these interesting commercials. Definitely worth checking out.
  • [Console Classix] — Miss your Nintendo? Sega? Well, you can download this application and play them on your PC!!! Harder to do without the controller, but definitely nostalgic fun!
  • [Dane Cook] — "I want to shove mints in your EYE!". If you don’t know what this means, then you are ignorant to the most random and hilarious comedian, EVER. Yes, that’s right, I said ever. Dane never disappoints, not from golden oldies like mints in the eye to body appendages made of corn. Check it out.
  • [Digg] — User driven nerd news, for nerds like me. Digg it?
  • [DVDs and Movies coming soon] –As you may have discovered either by curiosity, recommendation, or sheer boredom, I love DVDs, and I have a lot of them. A lot. So, as any DVD lover would appreciate, this site maps out upcoming movies and DVDs by their release date. Call it my purchase calendar if you will. And I know that you will.
  • [DVD covers] — You know, in case you want to, like, look at them or something. This site has a ton of downloadable and printable DVD covers. For whatever your needs are. Yeah.
  • [East Atlanta Community Association] –I live in a house in East Atlanta, and I love it! This website has tons of information about what is going on in the area, the development and history of East Atlanta, and just general fun stuff about East Atlanta. Also, there is an awesome link to an aerial photo of Atlanta back in the 40’s. You can actually see our house on it!
  • [East Atlanta Village] — Here’s a kick ass website for the EAV, which is right down the street from my house. What a great neighborhood I live in. Don’t you want to be my neighbor?
  • [ECU Homepage] — Undergrad Alma Mater. I got my Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology from good ole ECU.
  • [Frostitution.net] — A really comprehensive Nick Frost fan site. I absolutely love Nick Frost, and have a big crush on him too… here’s a website were I can get pictures and info on this bear of a man!
  • [GSU Homepage] — Graduate School. I got my Master of Arts in applied medical anthropology. This also where I met the most influential person I have ever encountered: Dr. Kozaitis. She is the chair of the anthropology department at GSU. If you want to study applied anthropology, you need to know this amazing woman. She changed the way I think about things, she could do the same for you!
  • [Gravatar Default Icon] — Where I got the purty default gravatar icon of the talk ballon. Purty.
  • [Leslie Hall] — The official website of the Mother Gem, Leslie Hall. Basically, she is a midwest diva who lays down the beats, drops the jams, and leaves you wanting more. Seeing her in concert is like nothing I have ever experienced; and I cannot wait to do it again. Leslie is a goddess. Leslie is the keeper of the jems, and she will forever have a place in my heart.
  • [HTML Kit: Favicon] — Make your very own address bar icon, like the one I have above!
  • [Hubble] — If this makes me a big dork, then so be it. On this site, you can find tons of photos that were taken from the Hubble telescope. Most of them are amazing, and all of them are really beautiful. Check it out, fellow geeks.
  • [Human Rights Campaign] — If you are interested in staying politically active, then this is definitely the place to start. The HRC is dedicated to securing human rights for all. The HRC’s website allows you to look up your senator/representative and email him/her directly, and urge them to vote for or against certain issues. We want to make sure that we stay active and maintain human rights in this country. It DOES start with you and me, so please, be mindful and contact the appropriate people when necessary.
  • [I Heart Jake Media] — A place to go, relax, and enjoy lots of photos of one of the most beautiful men in the world, Jake Gyllenhaal.
  • [Ink and Dagger Tattoo Parlour] — The best tattoo parlor ever! My friend Russ Abbott, who has done many of my amazing tattoos, opened his own shop recently in Decatur, GA. If you are looking for the best, you have found it. Malia, the other artist, is amazing as well. If you are looking for top quality tattoos, and a great shop, look no further than Ink and Dagger! I know that this is the only place I will be going for tattoos from now on!
  • [In Memory... Amanda] –A long time ago, I wrote this for Amanda Clifton, who died in a car accident just after she turned 16. My sister was in that accident and survived. This is a tribute to Amanda, and the struggle that was endured by my sister.
  • [Jake Gyllenhaal] –Fanning the flames of my intense love of this boy, I had to include a link to his website.
  • [Jars Of Clay] –Some of you may have noticed my humble homage to one of the best bands ever to play an instrument or write a song, i.e. Jars of Clay. I have every album, and I have seen them in concert many, many times. This band will make you feel the music, and feel the emotion that goes into making it. You can really tell they enjoy what they do, and that is almost enough for me. In other words, go get all their CDs today. Check out my poorly updated Jars of Clay website by clicking here. Or not.
  • [Kathy Griffin] — Kathy is one of my favorite comedians, honestly, because she rocks. Now she has a DVD out "Allegedly" that is a must have. Kathy is a self-proclaimed D-list celebrity, and honestly, you have to love that she owns that! Love you Kathy!
  • [Make your Own Stereogram!] — Remember these things? Some people can see them, some can’t. I can! Now I get to make them! Cool!
  • [Margaret Cho] — Oh Margaret, sweet sweet Margaret. I love you. I know that just a few inches from this writing it says that Dane is the best comedian ever, but you are definitely tied for that spot, no worries. Not to mention, that we would probably be best friends if we were ever in contact, and you really do care about civil rights, and are willing to speak up about that! Thanks a million sweetheart, there is love in this heart for you!
  • [Media Matters] –It is important to make an informed decision, and sometimes that is difficult to do, considering that the media is controlled and can lean one way or another. Make sure that you can get all the facts. This website does a good job of highlighting some missteps in media coverage. I suggest you check it out.
  • [Mr Fangs] — This is, hands down, the best graffiti artist EVER. I love these little ghosts, and I will stop at almost nothing to track them down and snap pictures of each one I find. Check out my stash here. (There are also a bunch on my flickr page) Each day I see a new Mr Fangs is a great day indeed.
  • [Peggster.net] — The unofficial, most official possible Simon Pegg website. I love Simon and have a huge crush on him…. and this website gives you everything you want to know about him; with lots of pictures too!
  • [The Perry Bible Fellowship] –Check out this comic site, it has some very well drawn and hilarious comics. I will be checking this every week to see the new comic that is posted on Sundays! I have too many favorites to list them all out, but trust me, go through all of them, they are great!
  • [Popjustice] — Without popjustice, there is no justice. If you want to keep your finger on the pulse that is pop, especially pop from the other side of the pond, start here. They know what they are talking about.
  • [PostSecret] — This is like grouphug, only more real, and with visuals. Some of these confessions will really give you the shivers, because you know they are true.
  • [rainbow sandals] — Best. Sandals. Ever. No seriously; buy them NOW.
  • [red king dreaming] –Here is a linke to my friend Steve Yockey’s web portfolio. He is a pretty amazing writer, and I know, cause I have seen many of his plays. Check him out. He is also a great friend.
  • [Register To Vote, and BE HEARD!] –Follow this link to the possibility of liberation! By going to this site, you have the opportunity, no, OBLIGATION to register to vote and take back this country (which will hopefully happen in 2008… sigh). And if you don’t want to vote for yourself, just tell ‘em you are doing it for me. Also! if you just moved, you need to re-register! So get to it!
  • [The Randi Rhodes Show] — Behold, the goddess of liberal talk radio. Randi is a refreshing voice of reason in a world gone crazy. She reports the news you need to hear, and calls us all to take action. I love you Randi.
  • [Rotten Tomatoes] — Check this site for ALL the reviews before you head to the theater. They rate the movie based on the number of good or bad reviews (those with a ton of good reviews are rated ‘fresh’ and those that aren’t are ‘rotten’). I like it because it is a good way to see what everyone thinks without reading 100 reviews for a movie that might suck anyway.
  • [Russ Abbott] — Russ is an amazing tattoo artist, but I may kind of bias, because he did an few amazing pieces for me. I highly recommend him, because his work is simply amazing, and he is an incredibly nice guy. Check him out at Ink and Dagger Tattoo in Decatur, Georgia… you won’t be sorry.
  • [Sara Bareilles] — Definitely the best artist you haven’t heard of yet. I saw Sara a few years ago (back in early 2005), and I was literally blown away. Her singing is that of angels. Her song writing is so clever and amazing, that it puts most of what is on the radio to shame. She is an amazing artist, and is totally under-appreciated. Do yourself a favor, if you are a fan of good music from great musicians, check out Sara Bareilles, because she is definitely a music professional.
  • [Snowflake Maker] — I discovered this by mistake, and I do mean by mistake. Then, hours later, I realized I had just wasted hours mindlessly trying to perfect the snowflake. And you know what, I probably did. All the fun of paper snowflakes with no mess or nasty cuts! (Why, oh why, did I have to find this deliciously evil website?)
  • [Starlight Six Drive-in] –Here is the website for the drive-in near my house. I love the drive-in. What is better than going to the movies?? Getting and eat what you want… and drink beer while you watch it. Priceless.
  • [Stretch Daily] –Interesting concept, to stretch yourself daily. Some pretty neat images and flash on here. Lots of interesting reflection from the webmaster. Something to think about. Cool.
  • [Threadless] –Really. Cool. Tee shirts. Order your’s today!!
  • [TV Shows on DVD] –Every once and a while I entertain the idea of getting a TV show that I really enjoy on DVD for my viewing pleasure any old time. (And that’s only if Tivo isn’t brimming with tons of episodes of that particular show). This site is very informative, and they tend to have the scoop on all the shows I care so deeply about.
