“Go with the Flow” is a Queens of the Stone Age song from the album Songs for the Deaf, released as a single in 2003.
The music video for the song was filmed in England by Shynola.The video was highly successful and was nominated in three categories at the MTV Video Music Awards, and eventually won in Best Special Effects category.

The video features the band performing on the back of a truck, which eventually crashes into another truck. This storyline is interspersed with sexual imagery of women, and the car crash can be seen as a metaphor for sex.

It features revolutionary visual effects. The footage was shot in a studio; the desert background was added later.

The song was featured in the video games Freestyle Street Soccer, SingStar Amped, Juiced 2, Gran Turismo 4 and Rock Band as a playable track.

Norwegian electronic music duo Röyksopp has recorded a cover version of this song which is on their Röyksopp’s Night Out EP.

La semana pasada lo unico que he estado jugando es Devil May Cry 4, y tengo que admitir que ya soy un adicto.
El objetivo del juego es el de destruir todos tu enemigos de la forma mas cool y con mas estilo posible. El juego es divertido solo con mirarlo (inclusive si otra persona lo esta jugando) pero la posta es jugarlo uno para darse cuenta de lo groso que es.
Adicionalmente el juego posee uno de los mas profundos sistemas de combate que vi en mi vida, tal vez lo unico que se le parece puede ser Ninja Gaiden.
De momento puse Half-Life 2 (y mi vida de verdad), King Kong y Rock Band en un cajon y ahora todo es sobre Nero y Dante.

For the last week I have been playing Devil May Cry 4, and I have to admit I am addicted to it.
The point of this game is to destroy the enemies as stylish as possible. The game is amazing to watch being played but unbelievably awesome to play.
Also, the game has one of the deepest combat systems, ever. Other than Ninja Gaiden, no game ever came close to it.
I put my Half Life 2 (and my real life), King Kong and Rock Band on hold for now, it seems that everything is about Nero and Dante now.

El 6 de Abril partimos con CH para Hawaii, mas precisamente a Honolulu en la isla Oahu. El Motivo? El casamiento de mi amigo Japones Takashi.
A takashi lo conoci en Toronto a los primero meses de mi llegada, hicimos tantas cosas en esos dias defenfrenados que rapidamente nos hicimos buenos amigos, luego el volvio a Japon pero regreso a Toronto un par de veces de vacationes y cuando me re-case el año Pasado en Shangai, Taka (como suelo llamarlo) se tomo un avion solo por 1 dia para venir a mi casamiento.
Cuando me dijo que se casaba en Hawaii, primero deje QUE COOL! despues pense, CUANTO ME DOLARA IR A HAWAII? y ahora que ya tenemos los pasajes y hotel cuento los segundos para poder dejar estas helidas tierras en busca del paraiso polinesico.

Lo que me tiene mas que excitado despues claro esta del casamiento de mi amigo es el tour de Lost que vamos a hacer y el tour de la cultura polinesica

On April 6th CH and I will depart Toronto to Hawaii, more precisely to Honolulu in the Oahu’s island. The reason? My Japanese friend’s wedding.
I met Takashi in my early days in Toronto, back in 2002, we were buddies and we did tons of crazy things, after a while we became friends then he returned to Japan but he came back to Toronto again for vacations and when I re-married last year in Shanghai, he just flew over for 1 day to come to my wedding and let the next morning.
When he told me that his wedding will be in Hawaii at first I thought HOW COOL IS THAT!, then HOW EXPENSIVE WILL BE GO TO HAWAII! But now with our tickets and hotel reservations I am counting the seconds to leave this ice land and search for the Polynesic paradise.
Perhaps what have me more excited (of course after my friend’s wedding) is the Lost Tour we will do and the tour about the Polynesic culture

Future Shop is a Canadian consumer electronics retail chain. Charlie used to work there, and has now passed along the 7 most common lies he heard salesmen use on unsuspecting customers. Whether you have a Future Shop in your area or not, you’ll find these lies familiar.

1) “The Service Plan covers everything”
In fact, it doesn’t cover most things. Don’t believe any salesman who says it covers physical damage, spills, cosmetic damage, etc. Also, after you have you machine replaced (after 3 repairs), the Service Plan stops working. The salesman will act like the replacement is a benefit, really it’s so Future Shop can wash their hands of your buggy hardware.

2) “I’m going to give you a discount”
More often than not my co-workers would lie about high priced items, claiming to take off hundreds of dollars on cables or warranties to trick uninformed shoppers. Always shop around and find out how much things are worth, and watch what the items scan in at instead of taking his word.

3) “This model is a Future Shop exclusive”
Danger Will Robinson. “Exclusives” are always a repackaged retail product, usually with a slight cosmetic change, but bumped up several hundred dollars. As my manager put it: “They move the speakers from the bottom to the sides, repaint it and we mark it up”. Salesmen make about triple commission on these models, so there’s strong incentive to push them.

4) “Setup will avoid hours of work”
This only applies to computers, but it’s good to know. Most salesmen try to push this on technophobes, saying that it’s a complicated procedure involving special tools. Really, they click through the Vista install, run regedit to stop some software and burn a backup disk. Oh, and it’s automated. Unless your time is worth about 30 dollars an hour do it yourself.

5) “You’re saving on x”
With some products there are legitimate discounts available for bundling, and managers have the authority to offer real discounts on unbundled product. However, avoid bundles like “Pay 350 dollars for setup and get free Office and Antivirus”. You end up saving about 20 dollars on Office and Antivirus, but you’re paying 80 dollars for useless setup still. If you’re going for a discount refuse to tack on anything you don’t want, and try to push the salesman. It’ll hurt his numbers to help you, but he won’t want to lose a big sale.

6) “You need Monster Cables/Setup/x to make this work well”
Monster Cables are a scam, so avoid them like the plague. They make the salesman about 25 dollars per cable, and leave you with very expensive copper. Similarly, some salesmen say computers won’t work well without setup, which less technically-inclined customers tend to believe.

7) “You have to buy x”
Legally, the store is obligated to sell you any available (nondisplay) product at the advertised price. Many stores “pre-setup” their laptops to avoid making customers wait for setup. Salesmen see this as an excuse to force the setup on you. Legally (at least in my store), if the customer didn’t want setup we had to give them the laptop at the sticker price, with setup. If the salesman is too pushy ask for a manager, who will know the rules a lot better.

La verdad es que no termino de entender esta nueva generacion de chicas que se sacan fotos a si mismas y las publican en fotoblogs, myspace y demas. Entiendo que este concepto forma parte de un nueva forma de expresion en Internet y lo respeto como tal.
Ahora escuchame bien adolecente que se pone en bolas y se saca fotos, si algun dia decidis en sacarte una foto sexy en el baño de tu casa, porque es el unico lugar donde tu vieja no te rompe las bolas, al menos tira la cadena!

To be honest, I do not understand quite well the new generation of girls, those who take sexy self pictures of themselves and publish them into MySpace or Facebook. I do understand that this concept is a new way they have to express them self and I respect that.
Now listen this teen who take sexy self pictures, if one day you decide to take pictures of yourself in the washroom because if the only place where you can find some privacy from your parents, at least flush the toilet

No se si la esta pelicula es buena o no, lo que si es que solamente el tema principal me hace cagar de miedo.
La pelicula puede resumirse en una sola linea: “Mujer joven tiene una vagina con dientes que ataca cualquier cosa que se le acerque”
ahora bien, si vamos a un plano mas intelectual Teeth or Dientes en Español habla del mito de la Vagina Dentata el cual trata sobre el pensamiento inconciente en el que una mujer puede comer o castrar a su amante durante el acto sexual.
Literalmente la “Vagina dentada” es un simbolo clasico de la mitologia del hombre y el miedo al sexo. Esto aparece en multiples culturas y sociedades a traves del tiempo.

No puedo esperar a ver el montruo afilado!

I don’t know if the movie is good or not, what I do now is that the simple thought about the movie subject makes me shit my pants.
The movie can be summarize in: “Young woman has a vagina full of teeth, the vagina of course attacks whatever goes close enough”
Now if we go to a more intellectual undestanding about the movie, we can related with the myth of the Vagina Dentata which consist in the unconscious belief that a woman may eat or castrate her partner during intercourse — literally, the “toothed vagina” — is a classic mythological symbol of men’s fear of sex. It appears in the mythology of countless cultures and societies down through the years.

I cannot wait to go to see the sharp monster!

Los rumores eran ciertos. La compania Japonesa de noticas NHK confirm que Toshiba se baja de la guerra de los formatos y decide no apoyar mas al formato HD DVD, esto sumado a la determinacion de Warner Bros de solo utilizar el formato Blue-ray mas Walmart que no vendera mas pelicular en HD DVD (solo en DVD regular y Blue-ray) concede la victoria a Sony y su formato Blue-ray.

Imagino que a partir de este momento muchos de ustedes encontraran HD DVDs y reproductores de HD DVD por precios increiblemente bajos, pero no se dejen engañar, HD DVD ha muerto///

Blue-ray - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray
HD DVD - http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD
The rumors were true. Japanese news source NHK (english translation and Reuters validation) is reporting that Toshiba is planning to drop support of HD DVD, striking a final blow to the format and conceding victory to Blu-ray. The Sony-backed high-definition disc has been gaining strides for some time, most notably after Warner Bros switched to Blu-ray exclusively and Walmart decided to stop selling HD DVD content. Toshiba is expected to face hundreds of millions of dollars in losses///

Chabon! tenes que ver este website. En el mismo podes elegir desde el tipo de mujer y hacer que se pruebe la lenceria… ademas podes hacer que se de vuelta y hasta hacer que se aproxime… lo mejor de todo es que si tu mujer, novia, etc. te engancha mirando el website podes decirle que estabas mirandolo justamente para comprarle algo a ella!

Dude! you must check this website. You can select what type of women you like and ask them to try different lingerie… you can turn her up and even ask her to come closer… perhaps the best part is that if your wife, gfriend, etc. finds out that you are checking the website you can tell her that you were doing research for a gift for her!
