a threat to national security

so i’m helping raymi out with what may be the most exciting web project ever undertaken by anyone anywhere.

as i was drudging through a monday morning on campus, i thought i would check on some raymi-related-web-junk only to find that my campus’ network is blocking her site.

apparently, she’s too pg-13 for the morality police who wrote the student handbook.

jeff: so i cant do anything on you’re site because you’re blocked campus-wide

raymi: im also blocked from all military gov internet places

jeff: is it b/c they think ur pr0n? i wonder if you’re blocked in libraries? Damn, maybe the whole US government is against you!

raymi: dude they are fully against me. hello i only make fun of christianity every ten seconds

because it’s a fun thing to do

stephen colbert is brilliant and at his best when he’s interviewing clueless politicians. check out this interview with rep. robert wexler from FL.it appears that representative wexler is running uncontested in the upcoming election and colbert gets him to open up about why he loves cocaine and hookers and why they go so well together.
Click Here to Watch the Video.
The best part of this story is that Fox News ran an edited version of this clip on “Weekend Report” and failed to mention that the clip was part of a segment on a fake news show on comedy central. It’s really tragic because if there’s one thing Fox News knows about it’s fake news.Tags:

i’ve got memories, i’ve got id

…and they all tell the same story. her august is my may and we live there together all year.

but knowing this we could agree to keep each other company.”

each one guides us home and we’re better because of them.

in the darkness, when we’re honest, we know they keep us breathing. they keep us awake. they keep us alive.

Skype w/ Video for the Mac

So today i’m jazzed because skype released their video-capable client for the mac. now i can video conference with all my international fans for free AND they get to see my pretty face. a good day for me or a good day for the whole world?

i think we both know the answer.

temperatures are approaching “hell”

boards are fuck over and this whole weekend has been one big long detox session from a week that was insane.

to celebrate me being done with boards, jesus decided to make it 113 degrees on saturday…and then he cut the power to my apartment, because that guy just cant stand it when i catch a break. i’m just kidding, everyone knows there’s no jesus.

so let’s see i went to la jolla immediately following said boards because otherwise i would have melted in loma linda. more news and pics from that coming soon. saturday i melted in my apartment and today i’m going to my kick ass neighbor’s party.

oh yes. no rest for the weary my little snowflakes.

last but not least, i want to thank “the stone” for filling in for me last week while i was away. in no less than four posts he managed to get JCdN picked up in the mainstream press. yep, thanks to stone, sam rubenstein and slam magazine i got linked by a mainstream rag.

i remember when i was 12 (and still thought i could play professional basketball for the bulls) i used to analyze slam magazine, so yeah…fucking awesome.

Guest Blogger This Week

so this week i’m taking comprehensive [tag]board exams[/tag] for the whole [tag]PhD[/tag] thing. The test consists of 5 subject areas administered over 5 days with topics ranging from neurology to embryology. Each day we start testing at 8am and will spend a minimum of 6 hours writing our most eloquent and knowledgeable responses to seemingly ridiculous questions.
With a minimum of 30 hours worth of test taking staring me in the face, chances of finding time to post this week are slim to none.

Fear not faithful reader!

I’ve employed the help of my good friend and frequent contributor to this site, jeff stonebraker. for the next week, stonebraker will be the guest-blogging and i have no doubt that he will amaze you with his indy-seattle-wit and clever banter. treat him well and don’t be shy with the comments because the guy likes a good argument.

enjoy.

i cannot be bought

so last night i was googling myself…oh shut up you do it too…and i couldnt help but notice that according to this sponsored link, jeff carter is for sale and on eBay of all places!

Picture 2.png

let me reassure everyone that jeff carter is NOT for sale, that is, unless the price is right and the winning bidder has 100% positive feedback and uses paypal.

otherwise, not for sale!

commondreams

if you too are trying to make sense of the madness that has overtaken the middle east, then you may be interested in a column by sandy tolan that appeared in “the seattle post intelligencer” and was ran today on commondreams.org website.

confessions of a music snob

i picked up a [tag]james blunt[/tag] cd yesterday and it turns out that it’s not shitty.

pumpkin pie

Stonebraker: going to get dinner soon

Jeff Carter: are you going to eat something “meaty”?

Stonebraker:perhaps…

Jeff Carter: whenever i go to bbq’s i always end up eating vegetables

Stonebraker: gross

Jeff Carter: yeah, everyone else is chomping on steaks and i’m eating veggies off the grill

Stonebraker: you should try a steak
Stonebraker: mmmmmm….steak

Jeff Carter: i had steak back in my carnivore days

Stonebraker: tasty huh?

Jeff Carter: not gonna lie…i liked it

Stonebraker: reminds me of my favorite movie quote: “…sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie but I wouldn’t know ‘cuz I won’t eat the filthy motherfucker”

Jeff Carter: lol….that’s awesome…i’m gonna use that from now on

Stonebraker: you know where its from right?

Jeff Carter: yep…best fuck movie ever

Stonebraker: ever

Jeff Carter: at least in my lifetime

Stonebraker: no EVER

Jeff Carter: ok EVER

i’m a sucker for basic cable

with “the office” in hiatus until the fall, i’ve been searching the program guide for something that is at least as entertaining as re-runs of “the office”. so in my quest to become a more well-rounded tv-viewer, i’ve become hooked on two new(ish) shows:

  • Dog Bites Man - a ‘documentary-style’ comedy based on a news station in Spokane, WA. one of the few shows that has made me laugh out loud.

  • It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia - a TV sitcom with indie-street-cred on the FX Network that has Danny Devito as a main character. hard to describe this one, so let’s just say last week’s episode focused on 2 of the main characters getting hooked on crack for the sole purpose of getting welfare. comedy gold!

there…now you have 2 more reasons not to go outside this summer.

me too

from this week’s postsecret

yourspace + myspace = ourspace

my popularity on myspace has gotten out of control. tonight alone i’ve gotten 10 friend requests from girls i dont even remember meeting!

yep, that’s right. not to drop names or anything, but i’ve gotten friend requests from chastity, ciara, kelly, rain and bambi. please ladies, one at a time…there’s plenty of room in my top 8 for each and every one of you.

wait…how come when i click on their profiles it takes me to a pr0n site? hold on…is this a scam to get me to visit a porn site that i otherwise had no intention of visiting?

i cant believe this kind of thing would happen on the internet…and from myspace no less!

oh well…an add is an add.

see you bitches in the top 8!

u-s-a

it’s the fourth of july and people all over the fruited plane are celebrating america by wearing clothing patterned after the flag and cooking animal flesh over an open flame.

horray ‘merica, horray george bush, horray jesus!

let’s go blow some shit up.
