Irreverance Part 4

Hopefully as I do this monthly review of the news items I saved on my Google Reader feed, I can evolve it into something halfway entertaining. Let me try this again this time with pictures and links. Of course you can always skim through my news items on my Reader feed in the sidebar.

Internet worms are back and they are worse than ever. Reports came out last week of two really nice bugs that came from emails disguised as e-cards and the other is a destructive mp3 killing worm! That prompted me to back up all the music that's on my hard drive, but it also prompts me to remind people to keep everything up to date, especially Windows users! Windows Update is your friend!


Is Barry shooting up on roids? From what I see there is yet to be any evidence that he is. Obviously the man has bulked up a lot, but I don't see any test results saying he's loaded..not yet anyways. I celebrate the man breaking Hank Aaron's home run record. I challenge any motormouth sports pundit to hit one home run. Just because Barry can make that look easy, does not mean that it is! The main reason I haven't been into sports as much as I used to be is because of the ratchet jaws in the media.


The same goes for the Vick case. I would not be surprised if he is somehow involved with dog fighting, but the last time I checked, he has to face a judge and stand trial held by a man called a prosecutor. Once that process is completed his guilt or innocence will be determined. And as horrible as dog fighting is, let's try to focus our anger on those who will hurt human beings who may be equally if not more defenseless.


J.K. Rowling is a rich lady. How did she become rich? She used her talents to construct a fantasy world that intermingles with our modern real world and by creating characters that everyone can relay with in one way or another. I am almost finished with the last book and I have to admit that I've enjoyed the experience. I'm sad to see that coming to an end.


I'm going to post soon on various customizable home pages such as iGoogle and this new one that I'm really starting to enjoy called page flakes. The great thing about the web is creating an environment that is geared specifically for me.


High definition disks are at a crossroad. In one corner there is the HD-DVD format which is backed by mega store Wal-Mart because of it's low cost, and in the other corner is Blu-Ray which is made by Sony and has the backing now of not only Blockbuster but Target. This is reminiscent of the old VHS/BetaMax war in the early 80's. I personally think that Sony will win this time. I'm still pulling for HD-DVD, though.


That's all for the news this month, I hope it hasn't sounded as random as it did in the past.

Last Night

I had a ball last night! Janine picked me up from work and we headed to Regency to grab some food and pick up James , who come to find out is a huge Sevendust fan and a lot of fun to hang with, more on that later. We headed to the Innsbrook Pavilion which looks really nice as far as outdoor venues go. There was your typical heavy police and security force there, and I don't blame them considering the copious amounts of alchohol that was being consumed by everybody. There was some band playing already out of Boston, but I wasn't impressed. Come to find out later the guy I was headb anging with during Sevendust was their guitarist. Soil came on next and I'm sold. I had doubts about their new lead singer, but he had a lot of energy. By the end of the set he was down in the circle moshing with the kids and hippies who paid for those tickets. As it started to get dark, Sevendust came out and blew me away again! The entire show was good. There's never a dull moment between th...

For My Friend

I moved to Richmond in September, full of aprehension. Many of you by keeping up with my story know full well the ups and downs that I have faced. I was very fortunate to land a great job in October. After a lot of rejection, and fear for losing everything I started my new job with that same fear I had when I moved to this city. I was crammed in an office with Kelly Stern. He is such a kind, patient, gentle soul. He showed me around and I got comfortable working there really fast. I smile when I remember one of my coworkers talking about us giggling in there all day. I had fun those days. It did not take me long to find out that Kelly was gay. He mentioned living with Jeff, and I put two and two together fast. Kelly listened to my troubles, and gave me sound, firm advice. He has been so helpful to me also by taking me home from work almost every day and taking me by the grocery store to get supplies. I would not still be here if it was not for his help. I cannot think of a way to ...

Here's a rundown of what I've been doing over the past several days: P layed with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, pla yed with my iPo d, played with my iPod, played with my iPod, and played with my iPod. I know, I've been slacking on the blogging, I've slacked on my radio station. I suck. The station is back on the air again, so please tune in, metalheads. I'm obviously updating the blog now, so that takes care of two birds with one big, smooth, stone. New Year's came and went pretty quick. Janine and I hopped in the PT Cruiser and rode to Easton, Maryland to party with her friends. I had such a good time with them. I can see w hy Janine is so close to them. They're all so laid back and fun and genuine people. We all got pretty tipsy...
