Seems like Kevin Smith retracted his 9 part story called "Me and my shadow" which tells about the times he tried to help Jason Mews with his Heroine addiction. I just hope it's not because Mews started using again. It was a very touching piece with some good insight on what addiction can be and where it can lead. At the very least I would have ( Read more... )

First family reunion is tonight, can't wait for it be over already. Maybe I'll end up enjoying myself, it's not unheard of. I should also count my new blessings, in the past I needed to juggle many more reunions due to the fact that both my Ex and my own parents are divorced so all the craziness has been cut down by half.

At the very last inning something snapped, either the other team got too nervous or over confident, whatever the case is, they used their last stand at the bat to produce ( Read more... )

Still no word from the mechanic for whom I show blind trust. It's not deserved, it's a lack of choice. He was optimistic about what could be my "main problem" with the muffler, saying that they actually specialize in this kind of thing and he would probably do some physical repair instead of swapping parts, something that would be less costly. I ( Read more... )

Plasma Display Geekness
To recap on my latest OMG WTF? adventure encountered with my plasma display, I was presented with some very hard to get rid of ghost images after playing too much Guitar Hero 2. After posting on the AVS forums on the subject, I was greeted with both scorn and support. I heard all kinds of stories when it came to plasma ( Read more... )

While I was down and out I got the chance to read a whole ton of books and watch an equal amount of DVDs. Here's what I found out ( Read more... )
