Browsing the net these days is a lot like playing the field these days.

You need to use a lot of protection because there are viruses everywhere, and naughty attention whores.

Livejournal has become one of those dirty, sleazy, whores. The Best Buy ads that take up most of the screen at times are annoying, and can cause third party plugins to crash.

So why put up with them?

If you're using IE 8 I recommend this little program. So far I've seen far less ads since I started using it, and that Best Buy one seems to have vanished. If you're using Firefox, which I do occasionaly, try this lil addon. The Firefox one has been around for awhile and most probably already use it.

As for Livejournal and Best Buy, they can both get fucked. Right now if I ran into someone who did ad placement, I'd knock their teeth down their throat.

I hate ads.. hate.. hate..

Awwwee.. my lil kitty is snoring..

I think this would be my top ten album list for this decade...

1. Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
2. U2 - No Line on the Horizon
3. The Cure - Bloodflowers
4. London After Midnight - Violent Acts of Beauty
5. Radiohead - Kid A
6. Morrissey - Ringerleader of the Tormentors
7. The Birthday Massacre - Nothing and Nowhere
8. Echo and the Bunnymen - The Fountain
9. Depeche Mode - Sounds of the Angel Universe
10. Velvet Revolver - Contraband

GNR got the #1 spot pretty easy. I expected Democracy to suck ass, and it didn't. The new GNR isn't the old explosive GNR, but Chinese Democracy still has balls, and some of the tracks really show that Axl is willing to expirement with different styles.

Bloodflowers by The Cure didn't do it for me at first, but as time went on it became addictive.

But the big surprise came from The Birthday Massacre.

Nothing and Nowhere has one song I don't care for very much, but the rest mesmerizes me with it's quirky, spooky, addicting melodies.

The band deserves to be right up there with Lady Poopoo and Taylor Shit, but that'll never happen.

But what will happen is that five years from now, TBM will still have a loyal following while the other two will be clearance bin fodder.

Just sayin'..

If things go in the direction they seem to be going, Obama is going to be giving a pretty nice xmas gift to millions of Americans. Of course in the process, he'll also pissing off quite a few Americans, but c'est la vie. It's only fair. The last president pleased some americans while pissing off quite a few as well.

But here's the fun part.

Back when the war in Iraq first started and many Americans opposed it, the other side told them that if they didn't like it, they could just leave. Well many of the ones who told the others to leave are the same people who hate this healthcare bill. So now those who are for the bill can tell those who keep bitching about it that they can just leave. ;)

That other side also accused those who opposed the war for being unpatriotic.

That can be turned around as well.

I mean denying ones fellow countrymen of proper healthcare, not very patriotic. ;)

This bill isn't perfect, it isn't even close. But it is positive step forward for many Americans.

And lets say hypothetically this bill causes people to taxed a bit more.

Why is it that so many Americans supported a war that was unjust and would cause taxes to rise, but be against a bill that can help millions of Amiercans but may cause taxes to rise?

So it's fine to raise taxes in order to murder people in another country, but wrong to raise taxes to save lives in our own?

Interesting.

I've also heard that liberals are pushing big government with this bill, and that may be true. But the big picture is that republicans want to give the corporations all of the power, while the dems seem to want to give it to the government. In my opinion, I'd rather the government have more power than the corporations. It is the corporations that are paying low wages, cheaping out on benefits, outsourcing jobs, poisoning our food, painting our kids toys with lead paint, and cutting corners in every possible way to make a big profit, while endangering the public.

Both parties have their faults, there's no perfect party. But one is without a doubt better for our well being than the other, while the other is strictly all about greed.

Needed to get that off my chest. :)

It's xmas time and that means xmas lights.. I like xmas lights.

No idea why... I just do.

The economy has kind of diminished the holiday spirit somewhat, but one has to remember the best part about holidays such as xmas, and that's spending them with family and friends. A lot seem to be stressed about buying gifts while being limited due to the economy, and that's silly. People need to just tell the gift giving part of xmas to go fuck itself and enjoy the time with their loved ones. That's all that really matters in the end.

At least imo.

Anywho... happy holidaze to anyone reading..

Time for lunch. :)
