Tom DeLonge Blog and Journals

They say a picture is worth 1000 words, but who are THEY? I've heard a lot about this magical group of unknown people that make up all sorts of phrases and clichés and rules...but I have no idea who THEY are. Regardless, for this week's Analyze This, let's look at three pictures that seem randomly selected, but I bet that's just what THEY want you to think!!

I Let Blink-182 Paint My Car...So What!?

I'm so glad that Blink-182 are back together, because I was starting to look stupid! You see, in the 48 months that they were on "hiatus", people started to give me a hard time about my car. As the days, weeks, and months stretched on; people started to forget about Blink-182, and I started to look pretty silly. Still, I pressed on! I drove my Blinkmobile (that's what I call it) to and from the office every day, proud to be one of the last true fans out there. People started asking me about the crude cartoon musicians painted on my car and I had to explain to them that it was a band that I've been listening to since the 1900s. They would say things like, "Blink one-eighty-who?" or "Is that Scooby Doo?" or even "Fu*k off, loser!", but I didn't care. I knew my boys would see past their differences some day. I knew my three knights of pop-punk would eventually return in their shining armour and take their rightful place at the round table of rock. Now that they are back, I'm totally like the coolest guy around. People honk and wave and I honk and wave back. There are still a few haters out there, but that's to be expected. Some people just don't get it, dammit. I just hope this time they stay together for the adults...the adults with awesome paintjobs.

Little House On The Prairie, Dog.

"Yo dog..."
"What up, dog?"
"Yo dog, get off my back."
"But—"
"No buts, dog. Get off my back."
"But I thought you were all like, 'YO DOG GIMME A BACK RUB', dog?!"
"Naw dog, why would I say that?! I ain't never said that!"
"Oh..."
"EVER!"
"..."
"..."
"Dog?"
"Yeah dog?
"We cool, dog?"
"Yeah we cool, dog."

Välkommen!

Website for Swedish officer recruiting.

Apparently the online application process to become a Swedish officer is eerily similar to being in one of the SAW movies. If you've ever seen SAW or a SAW sequel, then you know that "Jigsaw" is no joke. His games are typically of a life or death nature and often involve voluntary dismemberment or disembowelment. The Swedish government (obviously huge SAW fans) have turned their recruitment site into an implicitly unofficial SAW tribute site. In order to get the most out of your experience on the site, do the following:
1. wait until nightfall
2. make sure you're completely alone
3. turn off any lights,
4. grab a pair of headphones
5. quit any other applications that may distract you
6. click here to visit the website

Good luck! If you survive, I'll visit you the next time I'm in Sweden. I promise.

Check back each week for more analytical ephemera. If you have suggestions of photos you would like me to analyze, please "private message me" with links to your suggestions. If you didn't read last week's Anaylze This, then you totally blew it. Lastly, commentary is accepted and expected.
