okay, the night isn't a total bust! Okay so I was hitting up the blog scene to see what I could find about the VMAs, at least from the blogs I frequent.
The Lupe Fiasco Show had the expected angry post. I saw it coming a mile away! Honestly, I don't blame her though! Never mind though. So I hit up
JTL to see if pics of John Legend presenting and/or on the red carpet were up. Not so much! I ran over to
Fakeshore Drive to see if there was any Kanye talk and/or footage yet. Nope, not so much. And then I decided, okay, I should see what other Lupe fans have to say. So I took a quick look at
The LUPEnd blog. There was plenty of reaction, but I found something better as I scrolled down the page! There, on the page, a subject of "Speak Her Name." Finally, I have Bishop G's song "Speak Her Name" in my possession! I can stop being afraid that he'll take it off of his facebook and I'll be without it! nope, it's on the harddrive now and soon to be on the zen! Thank the lord that search is over! And now, if I can just get my hands on a song called "The Pigs" I'll be good. LOL, that song is way wrong, but it amuses me for whatever reason. So tonight's activities were a bust, IE the awards pretty much sucked and the Colts lost their football game, but at least I got something good when I popped back online! And now I'm off to put the song on the MP3 player in hopes it happens to come up in the shuffle when I listen on the way to or from work tomorrow! Current Mood:  good |

Well, I'm back.
But too tired to make a real entry, so that'll have to wait.
Three cheers for the LJ Abuse team, Google, Google cache, and for being an email packrat, however.
Kids, let this be a lesson to you: back up your entries. |

Joe Biden Factoid I read something today about Joe Biden that endears him to me even more than before. According to what I read, he had a severe stutter growing up that he needed speech therapy to overcome. That gives us something in common. Growing up, I had a terrible stutter. It was extremely embarrassing. Only intense speech therapy when I was a teenager helped me leave it behind. Even now, it still pops up if I'm very stressed or very tired. There's part of me that thinks it's kind of cool that Joe Biden and I share this. Not that I wasn't going to vote for him and Obama in the first place, of course. *G* Current Mood:  tiredCurrent Music: Star Trek: The Next Generation 146 - The Chase |

All I want is to be on the Internet Okay, for those of you who are wondering what my subject is all about, I was trying earlier tonight to connect my Mac to my parents broadband Internet from Verizon which is one of those USB key things which I really want so I can have the net when I'm traveling and stuff, and tried to put in my Apple id and for what ever reason it wouldn't work. It kept telling me my user name and password were wrong which i know isn't true because we were using the paper that had all the information from when the Mac was purchased. So, I don't get it. So, I guess I will try to figure it out tomorrow night when I get home from work. Hopefully I can make it work because I really want to start using it! ON a totally unrelated subject, does anyone know if it costs to use the txtlj feature? I was reading on the site and it said something about a one time charge on your bill, so does anyone know if that's the case or not? If it isn't, then I am going to set it up, but if it costs, I doubt I do because I have been spending way to much money lately. Hope everyone has a good week and more soon.

random thoughts about the VMAs I don't feel like recapping. So here's random comments that stuck with me.
- I can't believe Britney Spears won 3, yes count them, 3 awards. I didn't think "Piece of Me" was all that great! Whatever, this is MTV
- What was up with these half-ass performances again? They'd go to commercial break and come back for us to find someone performing, or someone would start and they'd cut them off. Unfortunately, Lupe Fiasco was subject to this treatment with "Superstar." Guess who's not thrilled about that?
- Speaking of which... grrr at Lil Wayne winning best hip-hop video! Lollipop over "Homecoming" by Kanye West and "Superstar" by Lupe Fiasco? I think not! Again, check the source.
- last and certainly not least.. not sure what to think of Kanye's new song. It *will* stick in your head like glue because it's repetative, but I already know it's going to be filled with much vocoder since Kanye sings the bulk of it. For those who missed it I'll see if I can find a moment to post a vid that I'm confident will surface on youtube soon enough.
And that's really all I cared about. I mean obviously in that 2 and 1/2 hour span there was more that happened, but there wasn't much that I was so into. That and the fact I was watching the Colts game hit or miss... I'm thinking multitasking was the way to go with this show anyway. That and at one point I was asked a tech question and had to come up here and have a look at my computer so I could see it in front of me to attempt to help. Too bad I wasn't of much help, but it happens when pages don't behave the same way on everyone's machines. Oh well. Current Mood: whatever |

The Universe Can Eat My Ass With A Spoon! WARNING: Rant ahead. I am in a very shitty mood right now. Here are just some of my beefs currently *I have receved an Email from my ISP, telling me my account is not payed and they will disconnect me if I don't pay up by friday (easy fix but anoying as fuck) *My Gym has started charging me for monthly membership despite the fact my contract is on hold til December when I'll have to leave anyway cause I still can't aford it. *My shrink's office rang me to tell me I am overdue with payment for an apointment from April that I have already had to get a new invoice for twice and I bet you my braindead excuse of a mother has lost yet again meaning a trip to Medicare after a good long lecture about how it is my folt she can't keep track of paperwork. *I got only two hours sleep last night when the Possims decided to have a deathmatch on the roof just over my bedroom to be followed by the Bird troop of Riverdance rehursing on the guttering outside my room *What little sleep I did get was plagued by dreams of my recently departed dog (starting to be a common thing) *My employment agancy has reached new and special levels of ineptatude by not putting me up for a job at an office five minutes from my fucking house because they couldn't remember where I lived and couldn't be bothered calling me or looking at my fucking file!!! *I am herteling towards 30 years old with no job, still living at home and with zero prospects on either front getting better before the end of the year. So yeah... Life is a big basket of puppies right now. But do I get to be bummed about it? Do I get to show my frustraightion to the world? No. I get to keep it bottled up and help other people feel better about themselves because I have retreated into my superhero mindset once again and can't bring myself to burdin others with my crap. God I am over this. Current Mood: frustrated |

spelling I know I am slack but this is a basic mistake. I'm not naming names but you know who you are. tooken is wrong and it should be taken. Sorry had to get that off my chest. Now I am reasonable today and Paddy is whistling his heart out as I write this. Holly might be in bed not sure though. David has the sniffles. Also Marc I hope your better soon. Thanks heaps for the MSN chat. It was also grate to catch up with you Cristian and thanks for the MSn chat as well. Nothing much happening here today as far as I know. I saw a friend this morning and had a coffee and chat with her and had coffee with David as well. david came over recently and we had another coffee. i do drink tea if your interested as well. So anyone willing to make me a drink? Heheheheheheheheheheheheheh. Ok think that's your lot for now. Must eat some lunch. David gave me a bacon,, egg and cheese pie. Now its Monday. Not sure what went wrong but got first copy which I wrote yesterday back. I lost it but all is well, Loll. Now am adding to it. the pie was delicious. I talked with Marissa for a while on MSN this morning before I went out. Also had coffee with David and a cup of tea. Got dressed and came on computer and checked email etc. and had another cup of tea with David before we went out for lunch to a caf and did the shopping. as I'm writing this Paddy is whistling his heart out. Marissa wanted to know. Got a support worker coming soon for an hour. also not sure how well Mum is. She had earake if you remember. David and I are heaps better today though still vary slight sniffle. a humourus incident now before I go. I just discovered the door wasn't shut properly and the cat pushed against it and must've pushed it wide open. I wondered what the racket was. david said something to me and just asked him what the noise was and that was the conclusion. Ok take care. Bye for now. Better post this before my support worker comes. Current Mood:  blah |

And back to politics So, I watched McCain's speech. It made me wonder a few things. So, McCain says he will bring change. What I want to know is which policies and decisions does he feel were wrong and how did he react to them at the time. Since change wasn't defined and his party was in power, I feel it is very important to say which things he felt were done wrong. If he approved of the decisions at the time, then he is using the same methods to make decisions and isn't going to be any different. So, what changes does he want? I wondered this about Obama a while ago too, but Obama's party was not in power, Obama was against the war in Iraq from the start, and he has details up on his web site of what he wants his policies to be. I had thought I knew the ways McCain differed from Bush: immigration and environmentalism. He wanted a different approach on immigration, until he went back on that and said he wouldn't vote for his own bill. That left environmentalism... but here's the thing, after he flip flops on an issue, he tends to stop discussing it. I never hear McCain talking about immigration anymore. And now he chose a Vice President who is more anti-environmentalism than Bush is. So, if environmentalism is the main thing that makes him different from Bush, he just threw that away. So, I listened to his speech to try to learn something about what the current stance on environmentalism is... and while maybe I missed it, I didn't hear anything whatsoever said about the environment in McCain's speech. The only mention of the environment I am aware of was in Palin's speech, which I haven't listened to yet and only know clips of it, where she mentioned it in the context of making fun of Obama and about his desire to clean up the water. So, now that McCain also says we need change; I'd like to know how he intends to change things and how those changes connect to what he has already been doing while in office. Finally, I really wish Palin would stop trying to use her saying no to "the bridge to nowhere" as a selling point. It's just so offensive. She didn't say no. She supported it, asked for money for it, and then simply managed to get and keep the money without having to produce the bridge. How is that better than making the bridge? I guess it depends on what she spent the money on. As far as I can tell, the bridge wasn't actually "to nowhere" just to a very small locale that was presumably hoping to grow. So, what did the money get used on instead? I don't know. But she certainly said yes to the money for the bridge. Current Mood:  annoyed |

Football I love football season. I actually genuinely enjoy watching it, and it's a much better backgrond noise than wrestling, or stupid cartoons. Plus, it kind of gives me a feeling of fall, and cooler weather, and holidays. I was hoping to be able to avoid it, but I had to turn on the air conditioner a couple hours ago. It got just a little bit too warm. And now they're saying it's going to be warmer this coming week than originally believed, so that means not nearly as much open windows and fresh air. Bummer. Oh well, I suppose it won't be long before I'm whining about how cold and yucky it is. LOL. I am having to exercise great restraint. I sold my computer monitor, and I want to order pizza so badly, but that money is earmarked for hiring a cleaning person. But pizza sounds so yummy. *sigh* Current Mood:  hungryCurrent Music: Cowboys vs. Browns |

And Do We Not Bleed? Funnel101 on the Conventions and People With DisabilitiesBy the way, Sarah Palin, who announced she'd advocate for special needs kids in the White House, has never done so before, not as mayor nor governor, so far as anyone can tell from what's been reported so far. On the other hand, now that she's been caring for a Down Syndrome infant since March, perhaps she'll change her behavior. And winged monkeys will fly out my butt. Current Mood:  cynical |

And yet again... Fire alarm #2 of the year, and a planned drill on it's way tomorrow. I'm seriously contemplating moving; this is getting annoying. And sadly, it's the most interesting thing that's happened all weekend. I wandered through a poem that wasn't in english (thank you google, for your lovely translations,) and stared at a blank word document for fiction class. Am thinking I should start cooking soon, but we'll see how that goes. TTFN Current Mood: annoyedCurrent Music: nothing |

unverse bums
lately i've been feeling like i'm about to wig out, get a cough or some disease. so i worked out, and now i just feel breeze and hear a samba, slight headache as usual, eyes hurt a little, but ok. yeah, a tiredness. and still a soreness in my throat. :(
i have pretty sensitive eyes. sometimes stray lights or brightness really freaks me out. i can usually avoid getting a headache. i wear a lot of eye protection.
my boss was sick last thursday and friday. hell. i have work to do... but i can accomplish one major part and be done, kinda.
i don't want to work this job or any job so much. i don't want to feel kinda sick, like sickness is winkin' at me. i need to eat pho i guess. and try to maintain my healthy routines. bananas come to mind. man, sometimes i get so sick. everyone says they get sick when the seasons change. three people have said this to me this week. wtf crap jeeze
i feel disconnected from my passions, sorta. i need reprogramming. at least my room is fairly clean. i "throw it in a bin" and then I guess face bins later? |

A quick update It's been awhile, and I haven't updated. Yes, I do realize this. Things have been going fine. I've been doing a bit of reading and keeping up with the RNC, or some of it anyway. If people want links to some of the speeches, let me know, and I can put them up. I don't really mean to come off as one-sided and not put up an entry about the RNC as I did with the DNC as I really have been paying attention to both sides, but as I am a supporter of Obama... I listened to Sarah Palin's speech on Wednesday night, and it honestly pissed me off. I was literally yelling at the TV. No one was around at the time to hear me, so it didn't matter. She, I felt, played the "Child with Special Needs" card, and I wasn't feeling that all. Uh, your son is four months old, don't give me crap about how you're going to be a friend and advocate for people with "special needs", yada yada yada. I believe I know a bit more about advocacy than you do, even if I am only 23. Have you done your research into the laws and such? Uh yeah, wow, sorry, see? This is what happens... Also, McCain is 72, so if he is elected and something should happen to him, then God help us! That's only scratching the surface, but I'll refrain from further comment, I will. Except to add that the joke Palin made in the middle of her speech was, I thought, weird. Oh yeah, and she deliberately attacked Obama and Biden, while neither man made any direct attacks to the Republicans during their speeches. I was very annoyed by that and didn't think it fair in the least. And her husband is a snow machine racer? Well, good for him... Seriously! Oh, yeah, I said I was done, didn't I? Oops! I'd be interested to hear other peoples' opinions on either side of the fence. Aside from that, not too much is up. I talked to two friends today that I haven't talked to in awhile, and that made me very happy. It was good to catch up with them. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to go to the Guiding Eyes walkathon that is the weekend of October 11th. That's the same weekend as another event I want to go to that's being put on by the Blind Sports Organization. I'm thinking of trying to go to both, if that's at all possible. I thought about not going to walkathon, but that school is so much like an extended family to me that I think it would be hard not going, I honestly do. This will be my fifth walk in a row if I go. Not only that, I get to see people there that I only see that one time a year, friends included. I might be able to room with a friend, and if I can, that will make my decision easier. I'd probably take Greyhound over Amtrak if I do go. Yay for not being employed yet, although as ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) amazingstar said recently, I'm honestly not really worried about it. It'll happen when it's suppose to happen. I mise well enjoy myself in the meantime, right? We have company over this weekend, and so I want to go hang with them. I think we may go to a local bar later tonight to hear a local band, as is per usual on Sundays. I've read and commented to some of the Friends' page. Do know that even though I don't update daily, I still do try and read and comment when I can. Even if I don't comment, that doesn't mean I don't read or listen in regards to voice posts. I really am grateful for all of you on my Friends' list. It's amazing how many people I've met through LJ, it really is. Take care all, and I'll be back sooner rather than later. Current Mood:  okay |

I definitely need a late pass for this but... Better late than never and this needs to be shared!
this post courtesy of
Fakeshore Drive just goes to show one of the many reasons I respect Rhymefest as not only an artist but as a man and will continue to support him. Only one question. When can we expect to get our hands on "El Che?" I'm really starting to get impatient, and these exclusives at FSD are not helping! I mean don't get me wrong, I like them, but it's making me crazy not having any earthly idea of when I can add this real hip-hop to my collection! Oh you know what? I never posted the video for "Stolen" when it was out a couple weeks ago. Hold on, let me see if I can find it... All right, I found it. Thanks youtube!
Rhymefest - StolenIf you're looking for fluff lyrics steer clear! This one will make you think. All right, I'll stop this, for now anyway. Please believe it'll be back as I hear more about "El Che" being released though! And I'll try not to be inexcusably late with it all! Current Mood: okayCurrent Music: Sirius NFL radio |
