Don't forget I too filed bankruptcy not too long ago. I don't feel like everyone who files bankruptcy is the sole blame here...sometimes you do need to realize when you are in over your head. And some people just fall on hard times and once you're under, it's way too hard to come back up. But the banks shouldn't have been lending to people they ( Read more... )

That's right. I said it. America is a bunch of pussies that won't take responsibility for their own actions. And we will certainly prove it if we let Congress approve the supposed "bailout" plan. For as much finger-wagging and name-calling as everyone on Capitol Hill seems to be doing currently in the face of the first try at approving such a ( Read more... )

LordF's car broke down a couple of weeks ago and we finally got it to my dad's garage so he could take a look at it, so the jury's still out about that one. Then Noey's car crapped out Monday while she was headed home from the apartment. Dead motor, not ( Read more... )

Child protection services let his mom and dad take custody of the kids till my stepsister could get up there this morning to get them, but God, talk about therapy for years ( Read more... )

Yay for the Dark Knight! I still maintain it was slightly over-hyped, but they did deliver the goods. And a free Watchmen trailer to boot! I think I nearly came just watching that! The Harry Potter teaser sucked though. Just 15 seconds to show us the title and give one line of Dumbledore dialogue? What a cock tease. Only like seven movies ( Read more... )

If anyone ever comes across a DVD copy of Genesis's Live: The Way We Walk, I'd greatly appreciate it if you pick it up for me (provided it's under 40 bucks). I have a VHS copy but I'd like to find it on DVD and sadly, it's out of print, so I'll only ever find it used. Same goes if anyone ever finds a PS2 game called FatalFrame, although I suspect ( Read more... )
