Spyware, Adware, Trojan Viruses oh my!!!

Holy shit!!! I'm over here at my parents house trying to rid my mother's computer of all that nasty crap she and the rest of the family have aquired since they got this computer. Let me tell you, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if there was somebody out there who knew every vital piece of information possible about this family. From online shopping habits to banks accounts, it's scary to think that computer nerds have created spyware, adware, trojans and all that shit to aquire all of the above. Just sick....... I think I've got my mother's computer pretty well fortified now though. Took me 3 friggin' hours.


I haven't enjoyed the brilliant programming of SpikeTV in a long time so decided to get all retro and catch a few shows. Interesting shit. I watched their reality show "The Club" which follows the ongoings of a hot Las Vegas club called "Ice." I've never been there, because every time we try to go the line is hella long. Here's the promo:

"When it comes to the competitive and cutthroat world of the nightclub business, it's adapt or die. Ice, one of the only stand-alone nightclubs in Las Vegas is on the verge of its first anniversary and the honeymoon is just about over. Watch as owner Ed Williams gives Ice a total and complete renovation starting with the way he promotes his club by importing hot-shot party promoter Allison Melnick from Hollywood. Bad move Ed. Allison rubs everyone the wrong way - management, staff, and even Ed himself. Watch the sparks fly as we follow all the sexy and pressure-packed action involved in trying to make Ice the ultimate nightlife experience."

It was crazy though to see the inner workings and all that jazz of a prime Vegas night spot. Talk about a hectic job runnin' that show, but I'm sure there are some adventurous payoffs, stuff they'll never forget happened.

Oh and look at this.........the next show is "I Hate My Job." Seriously, I think SpikeTV is speaking to my subconscious with these shows.

I think I'm a loon for the fact that I'm going to play tackle football in the 5th annual Turkey Bowl my friends have every year. It's on a Thursday and I leave for Seattle on Saturday. For anyone that knows what it's like to play tackle football, you hurt for days on end after that. Not a good recipe when my job out in the ol'PacNorthWest requires me to be on my feet for 11 hours daily.
