“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.” - Dr. Seuss

More Proof the French Suck

The French are good at a few things, wine, cheese, surrendering, and of course insulting other nations, especially America. We have always admired the French for their ability to insult us with a mind boggling superiority complex and snooty attitude. However, insulting another country usually requires that the insult not ...

Women Throw in the Towel in Battle for Equality

This article, while slightly amusing being a man, is quite disturbing as far as trends go. This article in the New York Times basically outlines how women in top Universities (we are talking Ivy League here) are more frequently planning to stop working upon having children or never working at ...

Burning Money with Good Intentions

"As we clear away the debris of a hurricane, let us also clear away the legacy of inequality," Bush said at the cathedral. Because inequality is only located in New Orleans. Because inequality is an easy problem to fix. Right ... Ok, say we gave every single poor person $30,000 dollars this ...

Frodo in HBO: Rome

As I am sure you can tell, I am a big fan of HBO's new series Rome. It is an incredible show with a great story and even greater atmosphere. However, since the first episode there has been one thing that has bothered me. Everytime I see Octavia I think ...

Supreme Court and Abortion

Brought up on Bill Maher the other night was whether the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) will overturn the Roe v. Wade decision with the addition of the Bush appointees. Of course Bill had a funny little skit about it and he thinks they absolutely will. What needs to ...

Poverty and Growing Inequality

So I was watching Bill Maher this weekend and they got onto the topic of poverty and how this "new" issue is what is responsible for the poor African Americans who could not escape New Orleans. New issue? Excuse me while I throw up while the political left throws blame on ...

iTunes is Stupid

Yes, I downloaded my first iTunes song the other day. It cost 99 cents and it was painful, but I had a song in my head and, being prerelease, I could not find a way to illegally download it. Why did the experience suck? Because the stupid file was protected. No ...

HBO: Rome – Episode 3

So, I just have to write my weekly comments on HBO Rome because the show is totally awesome. Episode 3 was a let down kind of for me, only because it left me wanting more. Before the show my roomate was swearing that a certain wife was the mother of ...

The Hurricane

Although I had been to busy to write a lengthy piece about the Hurricane and the ensuing chaos, I figured I should at least make mention of it because I might reference it later. As time goes on I am sure more facts will come to light about what went wrong, ...

So What Have I Been Up To?

What a pain in the ass school has become, in particular one class that is not even part of my major. Hurray to writing intensive courses outside your major .. hurray to Virginia Tech having ZERO FUCKING CLASSES every semester. Thanks guys, you suck. So, since I want to graduate sometime ...

Windows Vista – Doing a Clean Install with an Upgrade Version

There is a workaround for the silly way in which Vista checks to make sure that you are actually upgrading a previous version of Windows. I wrote about this previously, where I actually had to install Windows XP to use the 32 bit upgrade of Windows Vista after I had ...

Vista Tips – Customizing the Send To Command

Alright, I went to add notepad and wordpad to my Send To folder like I always have for each of the previous operating systems. Thanks to the "simplified" (and admittedly cleaner) users folder and the disappearance of settings, I could not find the way to customize the Send To command. ...

Windows Vista 64 Bit Downgrade to 32 Bit Woes

An alternate title for this post could be "How I managed to memorize my Vista key in one day." In previous versions of Windows when you purchased the Upgrade version of the new operating system you could always just insert the CD of the previous version during the install to verify ...

The Heroes Finale (or Fizzle)

This post is obviously a spoiler, I would avoid reading it if you have not seen the show! Then again you can probably predict the ending if you have ever imagine up a semi-happy ending to some kind of hero like possible disaster. Was it just me or was the Heroes ...

Work in Progress

I am in the process of reviving this blog and finishing some kind of easy redesign. WordPress has grown a lot since I started using it, so I am incorporating many things quickly with themes and widgets, but will have to customize everything over time. I am very busy lately since ...
