This is how I do it.
Watching MX!
So, this might be pretty nerdy, but I’m fine with that. I am right now watching AMA Motocross from the Red Bud National in Buchanan Michigan, LIVE ON THE INNERNETS zOMGZ!!!
In detail (which is the nerdy part), I have the video playing in Windows Media Player via Windows XP on my iMac, thanks to Parallels. Then on my iMac’s 2nd monitor, I have the same video playing in Quicktime, but delayed a bit so I have an ad-hoc instant replay. I just have to move my head to the right a bit to see what I just saw again. The twist to this is that I’m actually not listening to audio that accompanies the video… I am instead listening to the live audio feed because I have a very non-gay boner for Jason Weigandt, (that was meant as a joke!) and, frankly, I feel that his announcing makes the racing a lot more exciting.
Finally, on my laptop, I am chatting with my buds (just make up a username… leave the password box empty), watching the lap times (I miss being able to color label the riders like I could with the Supercross timing thing), and looking at the track map and just getting annoyed by mototalk people, and extra frustrated that I can’t interact with them because I let my membership lapse and I don’t have $30 ear tagged for a renewal.
If watching MX on the net isn’t your cup of tea, you can watch the 2nd Motocross class moto at 6 PM on Speed!
So, that’s what I’m up to on this rainy first day of July. Come to think of it, this is pretty much how I spent 2 Sundays ago, too. And actually, I guess that if I’m going to paint a picture, I should tell the whole story (WHAT? I have no idea what I just typed!)… My MX Sunday actually started late Saturday night when I was trying to be asleep by midnight so I could wake up by 6 AM so I could watch FIM World Motocross via MediaZone.com, but I ended up falling asleep somewhere around 3! I woke up at 5:50, on the couch, so I loaded the video stream from Sweeden on my iMac (in Windows) and tried to watch it from bed. A few laps into the 1st MX2 moto, I fell asleep. I woke up many laps later, and Josh Coppins was quite a ways back. I think this was the 2nd MX1 moto, but I really can’t remember. I kept waking up, watching a lap or 2, and then falling asleep again. I still don’t know who won the MX2 overall, but I plan on downloading and watching the motos again later tonight, or maybe tomorrow.
I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I CAN WATCH EVERY AMA MOTOCROSS/SUPERCROSS RACE LIVE ON THE INTERNET!! Even if it’s only the 1st motos like now. It gives me enough of a mental image of whats going on that I can run the 2nd motos in my head. Especially with Jason’s excellent announcing.
P.S. In making this post I pretty much missed the first lites moto. Updating the blog was a bad choice.

are you guys having a killer time?
There are so many things in life that I just don’t get. Like why do men have nipples? Or, why can’t people figure out the difference between “then” and “than”? Why do I get so annoyed by bad grammar, when my own grammar isn’t so polished? But at the top of my list of things I just don’t get has got to be… Why are people reading this??
Seriously? Half a million+ people want to see what I put on these innernets each month? (ok, fine, only 52,002 distinct hosts served, but still… You came back 10+ times?) You do realize that I am fat and lazy and really don’t care about this stuff, right? I mean, I only type the stuff that oozes out of my brain. It takes entirely too much effort for me to scoop out the good stuff. It might be worth it if I were getting paid or something, but in the case of this here web site/blog/waste of space/whatever you want to call it, I actually end up paying for it to be here.
Anyways, I changed the layout a bit because, believe it or not, I actually care a little bit about your well being and I felt that the previous color scheme might be a little too hard on the eyes. I hope you like this one a little more. I have a feeling it might be too wide. You should just get a better computer/bigger monitor. If you don’t like it, please bitch about it in your own blog, and be sure to link here so I will find your banter in my referrers!
Also, if you want to advertise here for the rest of 2007, it will only cost you one 8 GB iPhone. I’m not too good to sell out!
PS (and this is a very important PS): Yvette will flash you her boobs if you go to http://miamirhapsody.blogspot.com/! IT’S TRUE!! I actually can’t stop clicking over to there!
