Clinton versus Bush — an honest opinion

Wednesday, March 31st, 2004

I wanted to get some thoughts out after watching some of Richard Clarke on Hard Ball with Chris Matthews. I’ve been thinking about Clarke and his non-partisan dealings with the media and the 9-11 commission and it got me thinking back to my own political journey. I know I am a progressive and [...]

Graphic Manipulation is a bitch…

The Melody and the Music

Monday, March 29th, 2004

Someone close to me once told me that a lot of the current music out there makes you want to get up and dance. They were obsessed with Lenny Kravitz at the time (and remembering a song from High School that Lenny was wailing at the time I broke in, I can understand why) [...]

How pathetic?
A little troll with the IP address 168.213.1.133 posts about 1000 times under an entry in this blog to tell me I’m “Gay” and that my “mama is gay”.

The Death of a DVD Player

Saturday, March 27th, 2004

Monday, March 22nd, 2004

I came across someone I had been searching for over the last seven years on Classmates.com just now… Someone i used to have a mad crush on and someone I was too scared to admit I was interested in.
But that was 10th grade and High School… A long long time ago in a [...]
