My band has booked it's first show in about 6 months @ the Social Sunday 4/18.

Wow!  Battle of the bands went pretty fucking well!  7 bands showed up and we tied for first 3 ways!  We were just hoping not to come in last!!!  So I guess we are on to another round...  I guess it helps being a non metal band playing against a bunch of metal bands?  So we have another show at Central Station Rock bar, a pending show at the Social ( Read more... )

Well, I know nobody goes on here anymore, but I figure this place is free advertising...  so ( Read more... )

So, as I had mentioned earlier, my contract at work is expiring.  Friday is my last day.  Monday, however, I start a new job.  I'm just moving over into a new department at the same company.  I may even be getting a slight raise.  The only problem is that this new job is part time.  This might be a good thing, though.  Unfortunately it is tough ( Read more... )

I was just informed that my work contract will not be extended.  So at the end of the month I'll probably be unemployed.  This was sort of half expected as I have been twitling my thumbs behind my desk at work for a while now.  No worries, though, as Spherion has informed me that they've had a whole bunch of new jobs.  Hopefully I'll get one that ( Read more... )

I hear people saying that the human population is de-evolving?  Are we?

The answer is no.  You can't de-evolve, it's not a real word.  Evolution means change over time, so regardless of how you are changing you are evolving.  We are always evolving.  We are evolving in strange ways as a species as our genes are being moved to faraway places around ( Read more... )

My hard drive failed yesterday.  So I got a new one, which at 320 GB is more than 24 times larger than the one that failed.  I can't imagine ever using that much space!  And I'm using Seta now, so quite a good upgrade, both in space and in speed!

So, I used Norton Ghost to upload my backup files onto my 2nd hard drive so I could use the new drive ( Read more... )

I haven't really watched the simpsons much over the last few years, but I saw an episode a few days ago that really put the age of the show in perspective.  The show began in 1989, but can be traced back to the Tracey Ullman show back in 1987.  Bart has been 10 thoughout the series, which means that originally he would have been born in the late ( Read more... )

So listening to my morning radio show, "the Monsters in the Morning", I hear them talking about a girl fight in which a girl was beaten up by a group of cheerleaders for 30 minutes for posting some bullshit on the internet.  They were talking about how violence among women has increased significantly over the past few generations and how girl ( Read more... )

I recently read an article about rape in the military.  Apparently it is more common for a woman soldier to get raped by her fellow male soldiers than it is for her to be killed in action.  In fact it was so common that something like 45% of women in the military reported being inappropriately touched and about 35% said they had been raped.  So the ( Read more... )
