What files,  Dave?</span></span>There is a very small list of things that work for everyone else, but never work for me.&nbsp; They are:</p>
<p>1) Dating.</p>
<p>2) Finding and downloading pirated software.</p>
<p>3) Transferring a file via FTP.</p>
<p>On Friday, I shot something for someone.&nbsp; When I asked how I would get him the footage he said, "I'll just send you an FTP link."&nbsp; I knew this would be a problem, since every time I have tried to use an FTP connection to send someone their files, they just haven't received their files.&nbsp; This is not because I don't try very hard to make it work; it is because FTP is racist against me.</p>
<p>NOTE:&nbsp; FTP isn't racist against black people.&nbsp; It's just racist against me.&nbsp; You should be careful because as soon as FTP figures out that you love me, it'll probably start hating you, too.</p>
<p>Anyways, I am determined to make this work, so I have been trying to transfer this footage for the past 10 hours.&nbsp; I have been through 6 "CONNECTION LOST" errors, and 7 "RESUME" commands.&nbsp; So far, so good, but so LONG!</p>
<p>I sent the dude who's footage I'm sending way too many e-mails and status updates.&nbsp; When I panic, I tend to check the status on things and provide updates to people who may (or may not be) involved in what's causing my panic.&nbsp; I'd explain this further, but that's a whole other blog post.</p>
<p>So as I enter into hour 9.5 of monitoring this file transfer, I am preparing my mind for the exhaustion that will rock my world tomorrow (it's 2:24am).&nbsp; But, this footage is for a HUGE client and we do what we have to do to get shit done, don't we?</p>

<p>NASA</p>
<p>Monkeys</p>
<p>Top Secret, government funded experiments</p>
<p>Apple (the company, not the food)</p>
<p>...and Henry Zinkerman.</p>
<p>If you're thinking of Googling Henry Zinkerman, don't bother.&nbsp; He doesn't exist.&nbsp; THAT'S how crazy this blog was.</p>
<p>My left foot has a mind of it's own.&nbsp; It's definitely the black sheep of my body.&nbsp; It all started when I was 12 and my sister ran over my left foot with a vacuum cleaner.&nbsp; In that moment I felt a pain I had never felt before and my first thought (I'm not kidding about this) was, "This foot will NEVER be the same again!"</p>
<p>I was right.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://qledbetter.com/storage/toyota-ninja-cats.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1281664726191" alt="" /></span><span class="thumbnail-caption" style="width: 300px;">Oh, so kittens wear hoodies, now?  Okay.  I see you.</span></span>I've given up on my left-pinky toe.&nbsp; One might say that I've disowned it, but I don't want to lose it.&nbsp; I love it from a distance.&nbsp; I let it sleep on the couch, rent free, however, I do hassle the son of a bitch for grocery money.&nbsp;</p>
<p>My left-big toe is just over weight and needs to get off it's lazy ass and get a job.</p>
<p>My left-middle toe is alright.&nbsp; It's the only part of my left foot that displays some form of responsibility.&nbsp; It washes the dishes.&nbsp; It's good with the kids.&nbsp; It has dreams.&nbsp; If you were to ask me, I'd say, "Yes, my left middle toe is going places."</p>
<p>Speaking of going places, my parents called and said they're going to Las Vegas for a week.&nbsp; If you knew my parents, then you'd know how ridiculous this is.&nbsp; What are John Q. (that's what I call my dad) and my mom going to do in "Sin City"?&nbsp;</p>
<p>I spent a week in Las Vegas once (best vacation ever) and I do not think they can handle the sea of pornography flyers littered about the streets.</p>
<p>I should really stop writing this and go to sleep.&nbsp; That's what a responsible person would do.&nbsp; That's what my left-middle toe would do if it were me. As a matter of fact, that's what's going to happen.&nbsp; This is a stupid blog post, anyways.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Oh, and I didn't know what pictures would go with such a ridiculous post, so I googled "Ninja Fight" and what you see was one of the first results.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://qledbetter.com/imported/2010/8/12/rap-lines-from-the-future.html"><rss:title>Rap lines from the future...</rss:title><rss:link>http://qledbetter.com/imported/2010/8/12/rap-lines-from-the-future.html</rss:link><dc:creator>Q.Ledbetter</dc:creator><dc:date>2010-08-12T14:54:18Z</dc:date><dc:subject>cam'ron hip-hop rap rap lyrics</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://qledbetter.com/storage/Cam-ron-dm03.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1281625135651" alt="" /></span></span>I get cheese like Monterey Jack</em></p>

Right, folks?!</span></span>Let me start off by saying, this is the worst movie I have ever seen.&nbsp; You don't even have to read the rest of this blog.&nbsp; Do not see it.&nbsp; It's that simple.&nbsp; The rest of what I am about to write is incoherent venting about how bad this movie is.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is a list of movies that I think are the worst movies ever.&nbsp; A few of these movies are (in no particular order):</p>
<p><em>Soul Plane</em></p>
<p><em>Boxing Helena</em></p>
<p><em>Guns</em></p>
<p><em>He-Man</em></p>
<p><em>Semi-Pro</em></p>
<p><em>Legion</em></p>
<p><em>Transformers</em> (both of them)</p>
<p><em>The Last Airbender</em> is worse than all of these, already horrid, films.&nbsp; The reason why is because it is not even funny how bad this movie is.&nbsp; Let me explain.</p>
<p><em>Boxing Helena</em> and <em>Guns</em> are so bad they're funny.&nbsp; (NOTE:&nbsp; I even think Guns is SUPPOSED to be really shitty.)&nbsp; Although these movies are detestable in every way, they are VERY enjoyable to watch.&nbsp; <em>He-Man</em> has the same affect.</p>
<p><em>Semi-Pro</em>, <em>Legion, </em>and both <em>Transformers </em>movies are bad movies that were supposed to be good.&nbsp; They have good actors, good directors, sufficient budgets, but somehow, very bad movies.&nbsp; Watching these films is like paying $12 to watch someone take a shit.</p>
<p><em>The Last Airbender</em> is such a bad movie I was enraged.&nbsp; It was the type of rage that makes you want to be angry.&nbsp; You don't want your friends to calm you down and quell your fury.&nbsp; You want to meet M. Night Shimalamalamalamb in the street and rob him of his wares.</p>
<p>I'm not going to get into reasons why the movie is bad because whatever you can assume would make a movie bad, actually happened in <em>The Last Airbender</em>.&nbsp; I decided it would be a terrible movie 2 minutes into it and I'm not exaggerating about that.</p>
<p>Don't bother.</p>
