I've blogged on many different sites (Livejournal, Typepad, Blogger, Geocities, etc) over the years abandoning one for the other, always being lured by the new shinyness of it all. Every time I've done this a pseudonym or Nom de Plume was employed ( Read more... )

The only reason I keep a LJ account is to read my friend's blogs. If it weren't for friend only posts, I would have ditched this a while ago. On that note, I have taken up residence at a new location. For those with any interest, you can find my incoherent ramblings at http://gabu-kun. ( Read more... )

I've gone over to the dark side and setup a blog with Typepad. I have to admit, that I find it easier to work with. If there's anyone still reading this crusty old LJ, then please kick over to my new blog and send me a shout out.

I had gone from a guy that was pretty good with computers, to a finely honed Windows Networking machine ( Read more... )

Since getting the latest installment of Harry Potter, I haven't had the chance to digesting the entire novel.  I'm in the first hundred pages and just can't allocate more time to it ( Read more... )

While surfing through everyone's favorite waste of time on the Internet, Fark.com, I stumbled along this article. Now any movie being banned or censored in ANY way will always peak my interest. So I dived into the Fark comments about the article.

Now the premise of this movie is that it's about one hundred big name comedians telling the same ( Read more... )

This Saturday was my B-day.  I turned a quarter of a century old.  WooHoo!!!  To celebrate my inevitable descent into dementia, I went to Circuit City to partake of their ridiculous DVD sale.  I purchased 26 DVD's for about 9.99 each.  At least 4 of the DVD's were multiple disc sets and one was a 3 DVD box set.  I couldn't believe how much money I ( Read more... )

I'm pulling into my apartment complex and I see some jackass in a pickup truck take out our newly installed gate.  He then backed up, to go around the now mangled piece of iron ( Read more... )
