I must vent about Daylight Saving Time as unpopular as it might be. Strangely I didn’t realize this didn’t become law until later in 20th century here in America. A brain child of Ben Franklin, adopted by Germany and Austria in the early 1900′s, laughed out America after being implemented by most of Europe, we [...]

Is it April Yet? I love to write. Truly I do. One wouldn’t guess that due to my copy/paste type articles of late and lack of reviews. I feel stale. Truly stale. I’m not sure if it’s partially due to being over worked and very little going on in my life currently. Perhaps a part [...]

28. February 2008
Really this last week has been full of all kinds of wonderful. Star spun, happy rainbows and unicorns wonderful. As always though, there’s an undercurrent of people behaving badly and the Universe’s sense of humor that I just can’t seem to ignore. What follows is a brief list of things people and/or this existence has [...]

I’m a little confused. With the iPhone hype and copycats- tiny little screens with buttons so small that people get their fingers surgically whittled in order to adapt to the tiny buttons, yet television screens are now causing the need for longer walls to accomodate these monsters. Pretty soon you’ll have your tiny device surgically [...]

Ever since I decided to break Stan Lee from his Alcatraz escapes, he’s started to cop an attitude. After two months of living here, he decided to redirect his aggressions towards poor little Aloon, my betta fish. For the past few nights I’ve lost sleep rescuing the little finned friend from the evil clutches of [...]

The way the world functions: There are 24 hours in a day, except for Monday’s. Monday’s actually have 85 hours but they have yet to invent a clock to measure this, so instead the hours slow down to accommodate for the change. This also applies on Fridays- but only during the last two hours at [...]

Perhaps I’m setting myself up for being hacked by posting this, but enough is enough. What is the appeal of hacking into sites, spreading viruses and wreaking havoc on users?

The following controversy is actually an embarrassment for my area. People are up in arms because the state is now requiring people who apply for a drivers license to supply proof of citizenship. First of all I’m a little shocked that this wasn’t already in effect. I think due to the fact that I am [...]
