So I have arrived back home after my “whirlwind tour” of a trip down to the Bay Area to pick of the remainder of my belongings and drive them back up here ( Read more... )

Well, fuck.
That is all I could think when I read that Ronnie James Dio passed away this morning.

Thanks for all the great music, Hear N Aid and being by all accounts an all round nice guy. And one of the very best voices, not just in metal, but in the whole dammed business. Rest in peace.
Man on the silver mountain indeed.

In the last few months observers have been pointing out that when one looks at footage of any “Tea Party” protest only one thing seems uniform about the protesters themselves, all those angry faces are white (Caucasian). When on his show Keith Olbermann asked where are the non-white Tea Partiers some Tea Party organizers tried to use it to whip up ( Read more... )

I was directed to this cool vid showing the origins of most of the dances done by various WoW races and thought I would pass it along for amusements sake. Notably it includes snippets from Tunak Tunak Tun (Punjabi: ਤੁਨਕ ਤੁਨਕ ਤੁਨ) by Daler Mehndi and Peanut Butter Jelly Time. Note also that in most cases the creators attempted to dress the WoW ( Read more... )

Dude, there is one Southwest Airlines pilot who is probably very, very sorry he didn’t recognize Kevin Smith before he kicked in off the plane for being a “danger” to the flight because we was “too fat”. No I am not kidding…Kevin fu*#ing Smith. That is one idiot of a pilot who I hope gets fired…not just for kicking someone off “his” plane for being ( Read more... )

I have been periodically checking back on Roxyepoxy’s (late of the Epoxies) YouTube page every so often to see if she has posted any new work, and to listen to what she has already put up while waiting for the release of a new “record” by Roxy Epoxy and The Rebound . Tonight I am greeted by a message from YouTube that says “This video contains ( Read more... )

It’s Election Day again.

Not so much with the Super here in Washington State…except of course Measure 71, and if you want to know anything about it this is probably the best place to go to educate yourself. I of course support it and hope my one vote helps push it pasted all those “protect marriage” bigots out there…seems like a no-brainer to me, ( Read more... )

Always back your sh#t up, I don't care if your "Joe six-pack" at home with your digital photos or the I.T. hotshot for a major corporation, always back your sh#t up. Especially before any sort of upgrade or maintenance. If you don't, you're just a 'efing idiot who is asking for "lose and fail". The fact that this still has to be said to major US ( Read more... )

Holy crap. Lions! tours Nobel peace prize.

My fandom of president Barackstar waned back in February when it became clear that he was far more status quo in regards to investigating those responsible for our torture program than "change you can believe in". That said I still find this whole crackpot birth certificate B.S. to be rather pathetic in ( Read more... )
