Did you know we lived so close to greatness? Fire! Fire! I can’t wait to be saved by these do-gooders. Get on board the movement, people. Save your soul! FIRE!
It seems the Limeys have adopted “The Gambler” as their fight song while waiting for matches to begin. It has seemed to work as England have advanced to the finals of the Rugby World Cup after beating heavily favored Australia in the quarter-final match and France in the semi-final. England’s opponent in the final will be South Africa. It is hard to choose who I will root for…will it be the people who repressed the Irish for years and will not let the country be unified, or those responsible for apartheid? Whatever the case, I will be at Brit’s this Saturday at 2 p.m. to watch it — as of now. There is a $20 cover ($10 for students) free pastries, free parking and $3.50 Heineken specials.
Send me an e-mail if you are interested in watching Saturday…
Oh, and Kenny, enough with the face lifts, OK?
Those who have worked with the Nextstep operating system know how advanced it was considering that at the time, Microsoft’s Windows 3.1 was the operating system of choice for computers around the world. A quick comparison of the two makes it clear that Steve Jobs was years ahead of the time. This video shows Jobs demonstrating the Nextstep OS 3.0 in 1992. It is interesting to watch, but it brings up an interesting question: How far have we come? In 1997 Apple bought NeXT and its Nextstep OS, the OS then became the basis for the new OS X. It’s been more than 15 years, and we really haven’t come that far when it comes to operating systems, eh? Just something to ponder is all…
Hey, Minneapolis City Council…let me get something straight here. According to you, it is illegal to carry “fake” guns, yet I can get a concealed-carry permit and carry my real gun around? Are you seriously wasting your time with this shit?
Have all elected officials across this country gone completely mad? Is this some sort of joke?
Votes to condemn MoveOn.org…votes to condemn Rush Limbaugh…meanwhile hundreds of people are DYING in Iraq every day. And now we are sleepwalking toward a war with Iran. And all I can do is blog about it because I feel helpless to change anything. We the people? Fuck that…it ain’t we the people anymore. It hasn’t been for a long, long time.
I am mad as hell and I’m not going to take this any more!
