I've got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu...

Actually, you know what...it's probably just the flu.

hilarious state of my website

So for more than two years I've had the website, lovelandon.com. Go ahead. Click on it. Do it, and then come back here. I'll wait.

...

Hilarious, right? So because it says "love" in the title, it's gotta be a dating site, and because "land" is in my name it's also has to do with real estate?

Anyway, back to me. Before the ridiculous placeholder site you saw a minute ago, that was my website. I had videos on there, had some contact info, and hosted some music for my now mostly defunct country music blog.

Unfortunately the company I bought the site through disappeared and all efforts to contact them to get things straightened out have been for not. They list false addresses and disconnected phone numbers and no emails have been returned. Why is this a big deal? Because when I bought the site, they listed themselves as the administrative contact.

The little scamps.

So, while I'm working on getting my web bidness back together this blog will have to suffice. I'll post the videos that were on the website--though everything is on the myspace too--and there's more to follow in the coming months. Who knows...maybe I'll update this and write regularly.

Right.

Drinking Games

I went to a Fourth of July party the other day...the fourth, I believe...and everyone had a good time celebrating this country's independence in the usual way, getting blind drunk with strangers.
My only problem with the day's festivities was that most of our time was spent playing silly drinking games. There was an ex frat guy there who was not comfortable drinking unless he had to complete some sort of task beforehand, be it flipping a card, throwing a ping pong ball, etc.

And here is where Landon loses immediately. I don't play drinking games. I never have. I never wanted to. I don't like regular games. I don't need a game to structure my drinking.

Most people think the point of drinking games is to get really drunk much faster...and that's not where I take issue with the concept. I can get there just as quick. I actually just don't want the inconvenience of rules impeding on any of my already well established bad habits.

Several people have agreed with me saying that after a certain point, either after college, or upon entering the "real world" in some way, that a 25 or 26 year old individual should be able to mature beyond the point of needless "partying" (I hate that word) or whatever.
I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do think that after a certain point those frat guys who endured so much hazing and night after night of ridiculous drinking should graduate and mature into just regular old heavy drinkers. That old standby alcoholic.
