You can’t surf the web right now without running into LISTS about 2009, the past decade or things to come in 2010. So, to save you from such nonsense and because I am lazy, I will do no such thing. Sikkdays.com can be the place you hide out until all that stupid shit blows over. Instead, I give you a much more useful list. A list of pictures featuring Nic Cage as Everyone. Part of me wonders if he started that site himself.

In case you haven’t subscribed to the RSS feed, or you just show up here once a month hoping to find pictures of me covered in brown sugar & flour, below the pic is a short list of posts of interest for this past September. There’s a couple of bonus things I lazily never posted for those 7 of you who are religious visitors.
Bonus LinksMost likely I found these links thanks to my many tweeps. I drag the address to my desktop to ‘blog later,’ and forget who sent me there initially. I am a great guy. Really. I am just a horrible blogger.
The Many Moods of Batman – A representation of my moods would be similar except with more of a “I am going to stab you” anger.
Graphs made from Rap Lyrics – All those important ratios like Gin & Juice and Bitches vs. Ho’s graphed out for you.
Dan Brown’s 20 Worst Sentences – People were all about The Da Vinci Code when it came out. Now, Brown suffers from too-mainstream-itis. Everyone is hatin’ on the guy now.
What is this? – I don’t know. It is colorful and strangely calming.
Legend by Allan Gray – A commercial for an investment firm or something. They imagine what would have happened if James Dean had lived a full life.
Gozer the Gozerian – I had to share. Such a great comparison. Remember the god at the end of Ghostbusters?
Windows 7 Party? – It is so awful I wondered if it was a viral campaign. Careful, it is moments of your life you’ll never get back.
In case you may have missed it, here’s some good stuff from the past month.
The Cat Piano – Contains absolutely no Hoff.
The Electric Car – A great animation and a good song, not by the Hoff.
Artsy something – Birds on the Wires or Cheesy bad something – In the 80s
Torturing kids is cute – Even though torture is in the title, it is Hoff-free & safe to click.
Give a Little Love – Contains Tom Jones, your safe Hoff substitute.
The Gulls – Funny and strange, yes. Baywatch, it is not.
Video Mate Dating – Watching this will make you wish I posted a Hoff video.
3 Weirdest Music Videos – Do Not Click. CONTAINS THE HOFF.
Great news! I’ve managed to capture another blogger for sikkdays.com! Honestly I didn’t capture him, he offered to help out. Plus, he doesn’t have my address so he won’t be able to bill me for his work.
Anyway, Mr. burdenday was the community manager at the game formerly known as PMOG and now he is a community manager/designer at Rise & Ruin. You can also find him at burdenday.com where he shares his experiences managing online communities. burdenday is just about finished with his English major, so this will be a definite upgrade for those of you that don’t just come here for the pics and videos.
Some of you may be familiar with burdenday, but for those of you that do not know him below are some questions I emailed him along with his answers:
#1) Cake or Pie?
Beefcake! No seriously though, I’ve never been one much for sweets, but I do appreciate some yellow cake when appropriate.
#2) Do you think it is fair to the other colors of the spectrum to pick a favorite?
Look – here in America we’ve had a long standing tradition of choosing a favorite color and alienating the rest of the spectrum with our “favorite color exceptionalism.” I’m here to change that 20th century carryover thinking from the past eight years.
#3) Buddy Holly was obviously a star, but if the plane crash of February 3, 1959 never happened who would have had a bigger career, Ritchie Valens or The Big Bopper?
Kurt Cobain.
#4) Automobile of the future: Electric or Hydrogen powered?
So close your eyes for a moment and begin to imagine pictures of the most horrific accidents in the world’s history. Begin to recall those involving air vehicles… Good! Now I am going to say a word and we’ll do some free association: Hindenburg.
Electric – I’ve been shocked by 120V wires a few times and survived. I am pretty sure I won’t survive a hydrogen engine explosion though.
#6) We are our jobs, what was your first job ever?
My very first job ever was as a receptionist for my aunt’s Law Firm. It is considered “very professional” to have a male receptionist, I was told. I enjoyed it because mostly I surfed the Internet aimlessly and just put people through to voicemail – those were the days!
#7) Theory on why question #5 is missing?
Wow, I didn’t even notice. I’m adding this to the list of possible drug interactions for Vicodin. (I should note that burdenday just had a minor surgery and is not a junkie that I pulled off the street.)
#8) Favorite childhood game? (video, board, handheld, sport-like activity)
I played EverQuest for far, far too many years. If I had to choose a favorite, that would be it. There is nothing quite so satisfying as spending months of your life chopping away at virtual animals and monsters with swords.
#9) If you were stranded on a desert Island, what is the first thing you would build yourself?
A library, so I could begin writing enough books to fill it and then long after my death someone would discover it and they’d all be “classics.” That’s how it works, isn’t it?
Wow, I thought that last question was weak, but that is an excellent answer. All I could think of was building a bowling alley. Hanging out at the beach is great, but if you lived there I have to imagine you’d get bored of it.
Sikkdays.com hasn’t really had any sort of real focus aside from ‘look what I found on the Interwebs’ & my passion for animation. Therefore, I see no need to constrain burdenday to report on a single subject. I am just happy to have his contribution as long as he doesn’t post anything about Kevin Costner.
So my 3 other blog readers, give a big sikkdays’ welcome to burdenday.
When you sell your song, your characters or any other intellectual property that people once enjoyed to marketers people label you a sellout. However, I’d argue that if you participate in the bastardization of your original work that’s just good business sense.
Err…unless 20 years have passed. Then you’re just desperate.
