3:14 pm	Scrubs I'm not sure how I feel about the changes they made to Scrubs. It was such a good show and it such a strong ending last season (which was supposed to be the last season) that I kind of feel sad and long for the old format. I will keep watching for a little while in the hopes that it gets better. One can always dream. (Comment on this)

1:22 pm	Inappropriate Use of Funds so, many people are nice & irritated with the catholic church for illegally using church money & collecting at church. so, you want to do something about it but dont know how. well here are the instructions for making a complaint to the IRS. you do not need to be a resident of maine to do this and it'll probably take l...ess than 30min to do. To keep our noses out of their preaching they have to keep their noses out of politics. it's the law. so post & re-post "The narrow lose of marriage equality in the state of Maine got you down? So mad you could spit? Fed up with religious organizations blithely contribute to political campaigns while blithely maintaining their tax exempt status? Well take all the pent up frustration and channel it into a worthwhile endeavour. Lodging an official complaint against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Portland, ME. How you ask? Why it's easy! First go to this website, http://www.irs.gov/charities/article/0,,id=131651,00.html(you have to copy and paste this one folks, the old fb can't handle commas in a hyperlink) to download the instructions and official IRS form. That's right kids, there's a handy dandy official form. Then check out these websites for documentation of the Roman Catholic Diocese's inappropriate and prohibited lobbying activities: http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/120219.html http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/new.php?n=17112 http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/126665.html And the piece de resistance? A list of all contributions made by the Diocese. Love it! http://www.mainecampaignfinance.com/public/entity_financial_transactions.asp?TYPE=BQC&ID=4528 Print it all out, put your package together, give it a little kiss and drop it in the mail. Don't forget the EIN! 77-061-2679 Or the address: 510 Ocean Ave Portland, ME 04103. Texas will be swimming in complaints in no time. In all seriousness, the more people who complain, the more credence the IRS will have to give it. Let's all work together on this. Take a stand for love, tolerance and playing by the rules. I promise you won't regret it." (Comment on this)

1:33 pm	Horror Movies Name your top five horror movies. And I don't mean the crappy gore fests that try to pass as horror movies (Hostel, et al). There is a difference between gross out and frightening the piss out of you to the point where you leave the lights on at night for week. Come on, give me the creepy, the frightening, the get-into-your-head terror. Here are mine in no particular order: 1. Exorcist 2. Exorcist 3 (skip 2 for the love of god) 3. Poltergeist 4. Nightmare on Elm Street 5. Night of the Living Dead (Original) Current Mood: curious (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:59 pm	God Created Dog... "On the first day, God created the dog and said: ‘Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years.’ The dog said: ‘That’s a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I’ll give you back the other ten?’ So God agreed. On the second day, God created the monkey and said: ‘Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I’ll give you a twenty-year life span.’ The monkey said: ‘Monkey tricks for twenty years? That’s a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the Dog did?’ And God agreed. On the third day, God created the cow and said: ‘You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer’s family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years.’ The cow said: ‘That’s kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I’ll give back the other forty?’ And God agreed again. On the fourth day, God created man and said: ‘Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I’ll give you twenty years.’ But man said: ‘Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty,the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?’ ‘Okay,’ said God, ‘You asked for it.’ So that is why for our first twenty years we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone. Life has now been explained to you. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I’m doing it as a public service." - Quoted from http://emailfromgrandma.com/2008/02/25/now-we-know/ (Comment on this)

11:34 pm	Long rant coming soon... This would be considered one of those little notes I used to jot down to write about later - this needs to be ranted about later or my head will explode. Lionsgate is doing a remake of Dirty Dancing. Stop it with the remakes already! Yeah, yeah. I know the theory that all the stories have been told, but just find an original way to tell the damn story! Good lord. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
3:27 pm	Death of the Journal? With Facebook and Twitter I fear that the long-form journal maybe an endangered species. Even while people are posting on LJ, I've noticed a disturbing trend toward brevity, mirroring the small space provided in Facebook for "thoughts" and the character limit in Twitter. My true hope is that these fads eventually peter out and we have a resurgence of long journals, but I fear for the form as a whole. I wouldn't even use Twitter were it not for the fact that it's a useful tool for work related things. My job often times uses it as a forum for ferreting out tough issues that take many brains. For us, it's like a giant IM room that's always open. This makes it a great tool. Instead of hearing "I went to the beach" through Twitter, I'd rather read in great detail what the beach was like, how the weather was and what book you read under your umbrella. What happened to the deep thoughts of the past and the LJ cuts for those long, ranting journals? While there are those out there who still write in this manner, I'm seeing more and more people on my friends list drop away and post short updates with no pith on Facebook. It saddens me that so many who had such great voices now seem to have very little to say. While I've never been as frequent with LJ as I might have liked, I'm going to try and post a nice, long journal every week (hopefully more frequently than that). I'm just as guilty as many others of straying to the short, quick notes that can be quickly jotted into Facebook. Those notes used to go into my physical journal I carry around with me and then turn into long, rambling rants on LJ. That needs to start happening again. I challenge all who accept to write one long journal at least once a week! It can be about anything you want, but just let it go. No Memes allowed. Your own words about a topic of your choice. Let's fight back against Twitter and Facebook! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

9:24 am	Windows 7 = FAIL While some maybe brainwashed into praising the OS, that's only because they must be comparing it to VISTA, and next to that, even ME starts to look like a good upgrade idea. Anyway, here's the upgrade chart from Microsoft so you can see just how insanely stupid they are. MS Windows 7 Upgrade Chart Disclaimer: I am an Apple certified tech and a huge fan of Apple products. This being said, I feel that XP was a fairly solid OS and that had they continued to build on that they could have potentially done something good. If you just want a system that works (to sound like the old Jeff Goldblum ads), then the Apple is the way to go. If you want amazing computer power and the ability to really tweak the OS and do some freaking awesome shit, then the Apple is the way to go. If you want to spend less money, delve into the real guts of the OS or design your own OS, then one of the Linux builds out there is probably the way to go. You're really going to get the same stability out of Linux or Mac OS. If you're bitching about the cost of an Apple, go down to your computer reseller and check out systems that have the same specs and quality ratings as the Apple and you'll little price difference between the two systems. The PC Shopper ads are complete BS. One of the women buys an HP 17" laptop that doesn't have fast Wireless, fast Ethernet, and the display resolution is only that of a 15" MacBook Pro. People just need to accept the fact that Microsoft has started a long slow decline. Will is ever disappear? Doubtful, but it will start to be seen as "bargain computing" in the near future. Like the furniture you buy at Wal-Mart. The question then becomes, can Apple continue to hold onto its quality standards in the long term, or will start turning into what Microsoft currently is? I would like to think that they can hold onto their ideals, but I wonder if that will last only as long as Jobs is still around. For now, spend a little extra and get a quality system with a stable OS. If you want a deal on an Apple, give me a call and I'll see what I can do. I've got people.

10:46 am	MJ After looking at photos and carefully comparing them, I have determined that the man who died is not Michael Jackson. I posit that Michael Jackson left public life years ago, going into hiding possibly in a Buddhist monestary, or vounteering in a third world country. The other possibility is that he is a top secret under cover super spy currently on assignment in Afganastan and closing in on Bin Laden. Whatever he's doing, Michael Jackson is not dead!
