Do I have to go on?
That's all thats on TV now a days. Yeah, I know that the writer's strike had alot to do with it, but this beats all. There are a few of these shows that are any good. The rest are just plain garbage. I mean, come on! Flavor of Love?! Its trash. He's supposedly looking for the love of his life...every season. The Bachelor? The Bachlorette? Junk.
I have a great idea for a Reality TV series. Lock seven people in a rooms with TV's that show nothing but reality crap and see how long it takes before they kill each other.
I'll call it The Real World : Murder Box.

Its TV like this that makes me thankful for Playstation, XBox, books, an outdoors, etc. Who's up for a game of Halo 3?

DoomsdayVault/Chrono Trigger

Read this article first...

Now, doesn't that sound a little familiar? Like an part of an old Super Nintendo Game called Chrono Trigger?

After WW3, sometime in the future, a valiant group is sent to recover the seeds.

They face a number of puzzles and eventually have to defeat the Guardian of the facility to complete their quest.

Only to find that something has gone wrong a long time ago.
Only one seed of HOPE survives. Will that be enough?

Now drive off in your hovercar...

$3.25 and Up for Gas!

This morning I stopped at a local convenience store to get some gas. I got to reminiscing about the days when my $20.00 would fill up my car AND allow me to purchase other things like, coffee or food or whatever. Now $20.00 gives me a paltry 6.15 gallons of gas. Meaning, in my 30 mile a day to and from work I will use up approximately 2 gallons of that twenty dollar "fill up" a day, making have to refill around a day and a half later, if I don't want to take it down to empty.
I don't believe that I have filled up my gas tank to full ever since gas has gone to $3.00 and up. It has to do with seeing $50 on the gas pump that would most likely freak me out to the point I'd probably begin shouting at the machine, fruitlessly, and my last string of sanity would finally break, sending me into a downward spiral of rage that would most likely end up on the 5 o'clock news, showing my car on the highway being chased by the police and helicopters.
The news says that the price is only going to escalate as the summer wears on. Personally, I find it more than coincidental that the prices have gone up around the time tax refunds are going out. And I guarantee that they will be going up when this $600 rebate hits the mail around the end of May.

I FIND IT AMAZING...

that in this day and age of high technology, where anyone can reach anyone at anytime and anywhere, there are those few people in areas of business that do not answer emails, respond to phone calls, or check their voice mail. In this time sensitive day and age its is just inconceivable that people would do that. Call it irresponsibility or just plain ineptitude. Personally, I've about had it. Even though there is really nothing that can be done besides get the person into trouble and then if its not their fault you end up being the bad guy and depending on what the business is it throws that into jeopardy.
Gotta love the modern age!

FOOLED AGAIN!

Last year when I played McDonald's Monopoly online I noticed a bug. When you entered a code and the site crashed, your code became lost and unusable. After a year you think they would have fixed this issue.
Nope.
Their website is still very twitchy and prone to crashes, and its funny how if you enter a invalid code it picks it up right-a-way. But, if the code is valid and you have to sign in, sometimes the screen just hangs forcing you to have to close out and start over hoping you code wasn't entered. Another catch are the coupon codes they tell you to enter. Now tell me, how can you enter a 12 digit code in a 10 digit slot? Am I doing something wrong? Or has McDonald's duped us all again?

Go back far enough and everybody is related,
I guess.

The World Is Being Run By Morons

Ok. What she did was just plain stupid. I'll give you that. But why is is now that we have to think about what we are wearing before we go anywhere. Have our basic freedoms been whittled away to this already? They can tap our phone lines without prejudice, they can tell us what we can and cannot do, they can treat us like terrorists in the name of "National Security" and there is nothing that we can do about it. Just get back in line and shut the hell up.
A bomber who is motivated to do an atrocity like 9/11 isn't going to walk up to a customer service attendant and ask when the next flight is due. They did not need to use the level of force that they did on her. And I feel this is just another media tactic to keep people scared and compliant.
