A Tall Drink of Noodles.

I don’t want to sound like a grumpy old man, but I can’t stand when people play their music so loud that even when my windows are UP I can hear the music through it. It’s so loud that when you look out the window the car that the music is coming from is halfway down the road to the next block. It’s the worst kind of music you can imagine. It’s Hip-Pop. Not to be confused with HIP-HOP! I know Hip-Hop. I grew up with REAL Hip-Hop like: A Tribe Called Quest, Jungle Brothers, De La Soul, Del tha Funky Homosapien, Diamond D, Run DMC, etc. The stuff that is PASSED OFF AS Hip-Hop is nothing but a bunch of lame ass beats with so much negativity that even electrons revolving around protons and electrons are like what fucking quantum universe is THIS from?

I know it’s a holiday weekend. I know many people have the day off tomorrow. I know I do, but then again I’m courteous; I think of other people. I think about the person who has to wake up at 4:00 AM every morning to clean up some other person’s crap. Or the person that wakes up and has to take car of an elderly person… or whatever the story could be. The fact is people still work…even on holidays. Not everyone had today off or even tomorrow off.

So I called 311, (NYC’s Non-Emergency Hotline). Within 5 minutes of my call the noise stopped INSTANTLY.

I just want to emphasize that I am in no way a HATER. I would never tell someone to NOT listen to their music or express themselves in a different capacity other than what they like. I do however draw the line somewhere.

I suppose the litmus test is if I can close my window and STILL hear your music…I’m definitely going to call someone about it.

Late last night, deep down in the bunkers of Noodleslandia, I created some deliciously flavorful flavicons for the site. Pretty cool? Plus, I cleaned up the site a bit. More updates coming soon.

Just finished the sequel to my short film / video posted a couple of weeks ago: One Infinite Loophole. This is called One Infinite Loophole II.

Check it out!

Nothing like a good, independent short film to make your day.

Also there is nothing else out there like Captain Hazel Murphy that would make you want to jump off a 50 story building because he’s that cute.

(well…maybe not a 50 story building. Possibly a 35 story building instead. That seems more realistic.) heh.

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Tuesday July 21st, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Had a dream last night that I became a designer of 3rd Party iPhone related products.

Talk about being a nerd.

I was actually conceiving new products, mocking them up, creating presentations, pitching companies and making a zillion bucks in no time.

This all happened in the dream.

I then branched off from the original company that hired me and formed my own company to which I hired an incredible team of product specialists and marketing agents…the whole 9 yards…

I was able to make enough money to put myself back into school and get my masters and doctorate degrees.

………….and……….then…….I woke up.

Lovely.

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Monday July 20th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Having a Mid-Life Crisis at 32 is completely unsettling and yet at the same time, a truly eye opening epiphany.

I’m just glad I am not going to be one of those 55 year old bald guys with the long pony-tails that drive a new red Corvette, divorce my wife for a stripper, only to lose everything all at once and come to realization that material stuff and surface aesthetics doesn’t mean a fiddler’s fart in the grand scheme of things.

Life means more than things and stuff.

Wake up and live.

(PS – I HATE MONDAYS!)

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Saturday July 18th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: I’m jealous of the Hubble Space Telescope. It can peer deep into space + time and see in wavelengths I can never humanly achieve. I can only see in ROYGBIV. Imagine seeing and interpreting the universe with Infrared light? Or Ultraviolet light? Or X-Ray? Or every wavelength. There has to be intelligent life out there that can see in at least some of these wavelengths. Life has a funny way of existing. You never know.

Maybe jealousy isn’t the optimum word to use. Maybe the word should be enamored.

I’m enamored with perspective + possibility.

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Thursday July 16th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Money will destroy your life.

We are always worried about money. If you have to little of it, you go crazy trying to get it and become jaded to everything. If you have too much, you go crazy spending it and lose touch with reality. It’s a fine line to walk across.

What do you do with your money? Save it? Spend it? Give it away? Burn it? Swim in it? Pray to it? Curse it? Make love to it? lol

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Wednesday July 15th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: What is the purpose of paper towels? Are paper towels for lazy people that cannot keep a small or medium sized cloth or towel nearby? We all use paper towels from time to time, but do we really need to? I can understand using them for picking up smelly or really gross stuff that you really shouldn’t be touching with your hands, but for spills and small messes? Come on…

From this day forward, I will try my hardest to not use paper towels unless it is the ONLY thing around to use.

(Do not get this confused with toilet paper. Totally different, pardon the pun, ball game. lol You really can’t use toilet paper more than once. And if you do…you’re an effing weirdo. lol)

But on to the minutia…

Paper towels, paper, or any flat surface for that matter can not be folded more than 7 times. Good luck getting to fold number 8. It’s impossible, unless you had a press machine or something.

The reason for this is that every time you fold, the number of layers doubles. So 1 sheet of paper becomes 2, then 4, then 8 and so on. Before you know it that little vein in your forehead is popping out trying to fold a piece of paper.

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Tuesday July 14th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Today is Bastille Day! Fête de la Fédération or French Independence Day! July 14th, 1789 marks the end of the French Monarchy and ushered in the begins of Modern France as we know it today.

A little known fact about King Louis XVI was that his father King Louis XV once said, “après moi, le déluge.” or “after me, the deluge.” He read the signs on the wall and predicted the fall of the French Monarchy many years prior to 1789.

Don’t believe me? Read it on wikipedia: “après moi, le déluge”

Rise n’ Shine! It’s Monday July 13th, 2009. Noodles’ Nugget of Minutia of the Day is: Absolute Zero is the coldest temperature that can be possibly acheived in the entire universe. (at least for now.) It is a theoretical number because as of this posting no one has ever reached this magic number. Scientists have come extremely, and ridiculously close to it, (in 1999 rhodium metal was cooled to 100 picokelvin, or 1 tenth of 1 billionth of a degree Kelvin) but not ABSOLUTE ZERO. It is so incredibly difficult to cool something down to that point. ABSOLUTE ZERO according to the major 3 temperature scales are: -459.67 (Fahrenheit), -273.15 (Celsius), and 0 (Kelvin). At this temperature atoms become so still that they start to have an identity complex…so to speak. Instead of the total atom acting like 1 atom, the sub-atomic particles within atom behave in a bizarre manner as if like each particle is the atom itself. In 1924, Albert Einstein and Satyenda Nath Bose came up with a theory that when atoms are cooled down to such a degree that their entire state of being collapses and quantum effects would start. Essentially a new state of matter is formed! Sounds crazy…and it is! When this happens even light can be slowed down to the speed of a bicycle. It boggles the mind. I highly suggest and recommend watching this special from NOVA on Hulu. It’s entitled ABSOLUTE ZERO. Here is the link: ABSOLUTE ZERO

Watch it now…and thank me later.
