The new KMR website is finished!

shopptimusprime — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 21:04:06 +0000

It is finally complete after weeks of work. It will continue to improve as time goes on so keep your eyes peeled as it evolves.

If there are any issues with it’s construction or if you find any bugs (or if you just want to chat) be sure to let me know at shopptimusprime@gmail.com.

Go look at the site, then go outside and play.

Integration!

I am currently in the process of pulling everything KMR related together into the hub of a many-spoked wheel of awesomeness. This process has been long, arduous, and dare I say pain-staking. However, it is swiftly reaching a conclusion with the construction of the new and improved KnowMoreRobotsBand.com site. It will be slicker than Purple Rain and speedier than a Little Red Corvette.

As you can see, the look of the blog has changed considerably and is a meer precursor to the changes forthcoming. I’m sure everyone is on the edge of their seats jittering with anticipation for the unveiling of the new site, but patience is a virtue.

A serious effort…

So…

I made a promise to myself that I will make a serious effort to post to this blog more often than once every 2 months. This is the first installment.

I guess it makes sense to start with where we are. It is March 23rd and SXSW just finished yesterday. It was an education to say the least. I don’t know if there has ever been more anti-establishmentarians gathered under one flag. It was a sight to see. There were nearly 2000 bands preforming. Simply nuts.

SXSW 6th Street

2 Months Later…

Ok, so we have been a little negligent. But let’s face it, this cyber-space thing is hard. The Internet Machine can be scary and intimidating. Especially when you forget how to post. And everyone you ask forgets how to as well. Anyways, I figured it out and here is a post.

At Work is I

Yup, so I’m at work and pretty fuckin bored…yes, I’ve already watched all the youtube I can handle in one day (check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4Red6g9MS0 - you most definately won’t be disappointed – its a pretty balls-ass video)

I’m thinkin bout taking a dump in my office and hiding it somewhere – I’m that bored. Maybe I’ll go buy a Perfect Strangers DVD and watch several seasons. I kinda wish I was hungry but I’m not (breakfast tacos go a long way). I’ve already taken two dumps so thats out of the picture as well. Black Sabbath anyone??? well, don’t mind if I do. The Wizard is pretty balls-ass.

Yup, still kinda bored…I put my shoes on the wrong feet and even that wasn’t as exciting as it usually is. Maybe if I smoke another cigarette, I’l be able to poopy. That would be balls-ass.

So, two cigarettes later…no poopy…NOT balls-ass. But War Pigs is on so thats pretty balls-ass.

Maybe I should lobby for the office to get a pet. Perhaps a hampster in a hampster ball. Or maybe a donkey in a donkey ball. That would be double balls-ass.

Hey Look theres a dumb ass talking!

Last night at a show At Austin, a man approached Joel and commented on his bears hat. As the man proceeded to walk away I yelled at him, “Don’t encourage him.” After a few seconds of Awkwardness and him approaching me. I stated how I was a colts fan and from Indiana. This is where the situation becomes quite funny and fucking stupid at the same time. The man, which I think needs a name. How about Cock Sucker! Cock Sucker looks at me after insulting Indiana and says. I would rather have Orton or Grossman than that retard of a quarterback that you have. You could here a pin drop! First off you don’t insult Indiana and then give praise to half ass quarterbacks that quite frankly will be remembered for have awful they were than for any good that they have done. Well with one exception. I think Grossman could have easily recieved the Super Bowl MVP for the colts! Secondly after insulting Indiana does Cock Sucker not realize that ole REx is from Indiana, and Orton went to Purdue which is in Indiana. Dumb mother fuckers should not talk! As a result of this situiation I came home kicked my dog and went to bed.

Any gramatical errors I blame on my High School english education.

Ball State is 11-0? Seriously? In football?

shopptimusprime — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 04:26:48 +0000

Well, as you know we’ve moved deep into the heart of University of Texas football country. The Longhorns are one of the best teams in the land with a record of 10-1. However, they are currently being upstaged by the pigskin powerhouse of Ball State University. I just watched BSU defeat Central Michigan to become 11-0. Undefeated with just one game remaining in the season.

This is in fact astonishing to a BSU alumni such as myself. At this time last year the Cardinals had six wins and five losses, and we were shocked by a winning record since it was our first in who knows how long. We sort of got used to losing season after losing season. That appears to have changed of late. Go Cardinals!

Dave’s dog is adorable

shopptimusprime — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:38:47 +0000

Dave went into a cleaning trance today. The type that is indescribable and really must be seen to be believed. Maybe it is the fumes of the various bleaches and disinfectants that take hold of him and send him into his anti-bacterial stupor, but no germ within a 20-foot radius can divide and multiply in peace when he is on his cleaning warpath. Anyways, in the process he discovered this picture:

Doc

This is Dave’s dog from back in the Hoosier state. His name is Doc and in this picture he is 2-3 months old. There is nothing more to say, except that Doc never liked me when I went to visit Dave and I was pretty much terrified of him. It is hard for me to believe he was once so sweet and adorable. Thanks for the pic Dave. And for cleaning the apartment. It looks and smells very tidy.

This just in… “Jaws” is still badass.

shopptimusprime — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 16:55:29 +0000

It’s true. I mean c’mon, Roy Schneider is fighting a giant shark gladiator-style from the mast of a sinking ship. spoiler alert: this movie is about a shark.

The RobotHouse watched JAWS last night and though it was the 3,112 time that I’ve seen it, it still managed to be awesome. Marcus had only seen it in snippets on cable and as a result had been deprived of the full experience, so Joel and I took it upon ourselves to cure him of this deficiency. Joel put down the Great Waldo Search, went to retrieve the 30th Anniversary DVD, lowered the light level of the room and commenced watching.
