The site may be down for a little while. Like I said a couple weeks ago, Blogger's changing the way their service works and I'm going to start messing around with it tonight. You may not even get to read this post. Regardless, I'm gonna try to get this working, hopefully by the end of the weekend. Wish me luck. You stay strong Terententen.com and you stay classy San Diego... Las Vegas... readers.

Yeah, you heard me, Rrraoouohrrauoaovoaooa. I'm currently watching: Man v. Food: Honolulu

So I have found the 1 part on a Scion tC that just cannot be fixed. Last week the wind deflector for my moonroof on my '05 tC busted somehow, still not quite sure... I came out to it Wednesday morning and saw it was cracked up pretty good. It doesn't look like vandalism as it wasn't busted up too bad yet I don't think it happened while I was driving. I haven't had the moonroof opened in months so

Would it be the end of the world if Terententen lost all of it's old comments? Thanks to some major upcoming Blogger changes and the way they're deprecating FTP, Terententen has a lot of adjusting to do. Maybe some for the better, probably a lot for the worse. I won't know everything for a couple of weeks but I'm guessing there's a 100% chance I'm going to lose all of our old comments. I'm kind

5th! A week from today. Febtober 6th, 2010.I'm Currently Watching: Tennis: Australia Open, Women's Final

I hate politics and the politicians that come with them. Government is a necessary evil but this country is in bad shape and the people that can make a difference are simply scum. Everyone knows the saying "There's no such thing as an honest politician." but we hear it and yet we still allow it. Good stuff. I grew up in a strong Democratic household so I've always considered myself a staunch

It seems like nowadays we live in a world where everything needs to be judged. Everything needs a definitive number on where they stand. There have always been ordered lists of top stuff but it seems like in the last decade our lives have been overrun with giving everything a rating. It used to just be ratings for TV and radio but now the power is in our hands. We must be important. Did it start

In honor of Conan O'Brien's extremely unfortunate last night on the Tonight Show, I feel like I should show my support on Terententen. I'm already eagerly awaiting his return to television which will apparently be in September some time. I can't see someone not picking him up. I've been a fan since ~1995. I remember racing home from the boardwalk every night during the Summer to catch Letterman

I quit watching American Idol this year. I don't like Ellen and I did not like Kara last year. Plus I hated the fact that every person I thought had talent, or was real "smart", never really made it through. I didn't like any finalists last year. I also really like having a million hours of extra time not spent watching American Idol each week. Anyway, even without watching Idol this year, it was

Forget about week 16. Won it with 161.96 points. Forget about week 17. None of that really matters. What matters is that the Galapagos Tortoise once again displayed its dominance by putting on a clinic and bringing home the gold in the "Football's Like My Best Thing" fantasy football league for 2009. Carried by a 13th pick steal, the one, the only, Chris Johnson, en route to his 2000 yard season

In 1997 there was Air Warrior II. In 1998 there was SubSpace. In 2000 and 2001? Diablo II. And now... 2009 will be the era of Mafia Wars. 2010 will not. Back in April, I began playing Mafia Wars and quickly found myself addicted. Not a day went by for 8 months solid when I didn't find myself doing jobs, collecting loot and fighting random people just because. I lie. 1 day, I forget why... I think

Huggybear - Huggybear and Friends : Let's not forget what has to be one of the top album of the decade and THE best album of 2009. I tried to avoid being biased so I kept it off of the list but for some strange reason there's a special place in my heart for this album. Huggybear and Friends is a hip-hop masterpiece almost 5 years in the making. If you haven't done so already, go get yourself a

Radiohead - In Rainbows : Forget Kid A... This is where it's at. This is where Radiohead, as a band, wanted to be when they made Kid A. Otherwise I don't think Thom Yorke releases The Eraser in 2006. Once he got that off his chest, he was able to return to the band and write what could be their best album. The fact that I have to question whether or not this album is better than OK Computer

Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory (2000) : Almost half of the songs on this album were singles and I still don't think it spawned enough. Every song on this album could and should have been a hit on the radio. It's short and sweet and no matter how over exposed we all were to these songs, I'll never tire of them.Highlights - Points Of Authority, Place For My Head, Pushing Me Away I'm currently

A Perfect Circle - Mer De Noms (2000) : Very rarely do I hear a song from an unknown band on the radio and immediately like it, then go and listen to the album, turn it off after 6 tracks because it's unbearable to listen to, pick it up 4 months later and listen to it 7 times in a row and then 9 years later declare it once of the decade's best. I had this one ranked #1 for good chunk of the

John Mayer - Continuum (2006) : So John gets tired of pop music, really loves the blues, jams with some buddies, tours as a blues trio, puts out a live disc and then immediately heads back to the studio to record an album that's going to be hard to top. All the pop elements are still there in the beautiful yet catchy, radio friendly tunes however John fattens the whole thing up with traces of

Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP (2000) : Even moreso than non rap albums, it seems like most rap albums only ever have 1 or 2 good songs that can make it to radio and that's it. Those songs are normally surrounded by complete unlistenable garbage never to be heard from again. This album on the other hand had it's 2 radio friendly singles but then it had everything else... blood, guts, guns,

Paulson - All At Once (2005) : This could be the catchiest record of all time from a band that nobody has or probably ever will hear of. The moment I heard Miami Current, there was no turning back. This album just has everything that popular music could ask for. Yet... it is not popular. It's a really big world out there. That's the only explanation how these guys are virtual

For most leagues, the season is winding down or completely done at this point. Last week was Championship week for even the longest head to head leagues. However, this is a points league and it just keeps on ticking. Good thing too because some teams have everything to play for. The way it looks now, we'll have some crazy competition for 2nd and 3rd places before this thing is through. But these

John Mayer - Room For Squares (2001) : My favorite riff of all time might not be found on a Cream or Jimi Hendrix album. It may not have been played by Randy Rhoads or Jimmy Page. No, my favorite riff of all time may have been recorded by a 22 year old white dude from Connecticut. Sure, Neon may have been written and released first in 1999 but I didn't hear it until I heard it on this album

Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness (2005) : I'm not sure what I can write about this record that would do it justice. It's a concept rock opera with a bizarre, yet humorous, concept that definitely works. The music is captivating... Hard prog rock with dynamic hooks and melodies and ups and downs. There are the single worthy

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief (2003) : There will be no Kid A on this list. Sorry. Perhaps I'm not cool or music savvy enough to fully appreciate that album in all of its majesty. There will also be no Amnesiac on this list. It was a step in the right direction but Radiohead wasn't quite there yet with the direction they wanted to take their music. This album on the other hand. Amazing. It's

Weezer - Green Album (2001) : There was a time this decade when all I listened to was Weezer. This record is why. It's what got me into the group. After I heard this album, I finally gave the non single tracks on the Blue Album another chance and then discovered a little gem called Pinkerton which I never even knew existed. Thank heaven for that. For me though, this is defintely where it all

Today we'll continue the countdown with 5 more. The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium (2003) : I don't do drugs but if I did, the first thing I would listen to while on them is Dark Side of the Moon. And then I would probably listen to this. It is as much art as it is music. It kind of reminds me of a splatter painting. Mars Volta just threw random notes on paper and somehow it just

Let's begin. Here we have my honorable mentions, so to speak, all grouped up into 1. My musical tastes changed a lot this decade and this is probably where they started as they carried over from the last decade, so we can't just forget them. These guys were all considered, and might just deserve a spot higher on here, but they just didn't make the cut. So... here they are in no particular order:
