When I have the money I am moving to another country. This is just insane. Evidently some idiot DJ in Florida was fired because he aired a controversial skit during his morning radio show. Does no one realize that morning radio is intend for adults stuck in traffic on their way to work? What sane individual is going to let their children listen to morning radio? Why should this even be an issue? Why are congressional sub-commitees being called to review the content on radio and television?

I will leave you with this:

Last night we had a "winter storm." What that means is there are patches, patches, of snow on the ground in random places. Because of this, CCSU closed down for the day and I in effect got an unwanted unpaid day off. Yay! But I did make the most of it by finishing up the new site design and casting an early primary vote (don't ask because I won't tell you).

If you are in the mood to laugh your ass off then read this guy's "Top Ten Worst Things I've Ever Jacked Off To". It is some hilarious stuff.

Also, if you like machinima you need to check out this video. It is simply the best Quake based video I have ever seen.

Oh, and if you are having problems with the comment system not remembering your details - I have absolutely no clue. I hate cookies.

Well, I know that I said I was going to implement a new gallery at the same time I implemented the new site design. I decided that since I have everything else done I would go ahead and put it up and work on the gallery seperately because it is going to take a great deal more time to do and do it correctly.

I hope you all like the new design (leave a comment with your opinion please). I think it is a helluva lot better than the old one. It is a great deal smaller than the old one and should load up pretty quickly no matter what kind of connection you have. While working on this design I realized I had at some point unlinked my music archive so I relinked that. I also fixed up a couple of other issues and added some new content and removed some stale content (I am undecided about bringing back the Current Desktop page).

If you find any thing wrong don't hesitate to tell me about it. I will fix it as quickly as I can.

So, yeah, I am just going to paste the lyrics to Meatloaf's song "Wasted Youth" just for the helluva it. Enjoy:

I remember everything!
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
I was barely seventeen,
And I once killed a boy with a Fender guitar
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it had a heart of chrome
And a voice like a horny angel
I don't remember if it was a telecaster or a stradacaster
But I do remember that it wasn't at all easy
It required the perfect combination of the right power chords
And the precise angle from which to strike
The guitar bled for about a week afterward
And the blood was so dark and rich, like wild berries
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red
The guitar bled for about a week afterward,
But it rung out beautifully
And I was able to play notes
That I had never even heard before
So I took my guitar,
And I smashed it against the wall
I smashed it against the floor
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader
Smashed it against the hood of a car
Smashed it against a 1981 Harley Davidson
The Harley howled in pain,
The guitar howled in heat
And I ran up the stairs to my parents' bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
Slowly I opened the door, creeping in the shadows
Right up to the foot of their bed
I raised the guitar high above my head
And just as I was about to bring the guitar
Crashing down upon the center of the bed,
My father woke up, screaming "Stop!"
"Wait a minute! Stop it boy!
What do ya think you're doin'?
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument!"
And I said: "God Dammit Daddy!
You know I love you,
But you got a hell of a lot to learn about Rock 'n Roll"

At least I am not the only person on the web that thinks the whole constitutional amendment thing is ridiculous.

I will be working on implementing my new layout over the next few days. I think you all will really like it. I have decided that it just isn't worth the time and effort to write functionality to use the current theme or the new theme so there will just be the "new hotness."

Also, you may have noticed that the gallery is not working. I upgraded the web server a week or so ago and that evidently broke the software I am using for that gallery. I will be writing my own gallery software at the same time I am working on the new theme so this will never happen again. Don't get me wrong, Gallery is some spiffy software. But, I also know how to write the same thing and, in my opinion, a little bit better as well - their code is a mess.
