Hmm, while I really like this song I haven't had the chance to listen to it in a while. However, I really, really have to disagree with the comment about the lyrics not making any sense. They are actually quite chilling in classic, creepy Ozzy style. Please read them before you just discard them. Link You can read them at the link provided.

That was very moving to read dharmagrl. As I have been suffering so much the lack of my wife and daughters for the past 2 1/2 weeks I simply cannot imagine how you have managed. And I admire your ability to express your feelings about him. It really is the little, everyday, common things that you miss the most, isn't it? The little things that remind you on a daily basis that you have someone to share your life, dreams, sorrows, and love wi

It is always encouraging to discover that, sometimes even though we didn't realize it, we have grown and matured. And hopefully those "ah ha" moments in which we realize it can serve as an impetus for us to continue to grow, not just sit on our laurels. I compliment your poise.

You know, my wife and I were avid followers last year. We voted and everything. But for some reason this season just isn't doing anything for me. There isn't anyone I really feel strongly about, no one I am pulling for to win. And I don't know why either. But I still watch and keep up with it.

I think I would have to go with "El Conquistador". Of course I would have to grow out an appropriate little mustacio (or perhaps that could be part of the costume?), wear a wide brimmed hat and a cape. Sort of like Zoro, but with a lot more flash. Yeah, that would be cool.

So a reply such as this that doesn't add to the conversation would be trolling? Thanks for the link, hadn't heard about griefers.

This will be a first for me. Yes, this blog entry will actually be of a somewhat personal nature. Why? I don't know really. I just feel the need to get this off my chest. My wife and two daughters have been gone for a little over two weeks now. They are back in Utah visiting family, especially my sister-in-law who recently had her first child. It was a

I thought I would go ahead and post this little bit of fiction I have been working on. Will do so in serial installments. There are certainly things I would change were I to go back right now, but let's hear what others think. Supernova War makes people do crazy things, especially when the war has gone on as long as one can remember.

Hmm, he is an "artist" who regularly relies on other's writing to attempt to make a hit. His own music is shallow, as are his lyrics. Dusk, well written review of a poor song by a musician whose train is leaving the station.

Yep, I have done it. My assertion is that you and I shouldn't have to do that. And the fact that we end up having to go and hunt down something that some folks consider to be illegal is just another part of the insult.

I have noticed forum posts about folk's points here. I see my own (rather paltry) rank, and others with more entries than I can shake a stick at and points coming out the wazoo. There is a scoring system in place here, other forums give posters different "user levels", post counts keep track of how much we have to say (or how full of crap we are, as it may be). It

Ever since I can recall we have heard time and time again that we need ~8 hours of sleep a night to function properly and maintain our health. And while that sounds like a great idea I have to ask: Is that realistic? Is there anyone here who regularly gets about 8 hours of sleep a night? That just doesn't seem even possible to me. I started adding

I have been lucky. Very lucky according to the buzz on the internet. I love gaming on my PC. There are lots of great games out there, with great developers behind them who have put lots of time and effort into making a quality PC title for me and others to enjoy. They work hard to make a quality product and we, as the consumers, go out and spend good money

Avery time I hear an Avril song I get pissed off. There are so many more talented artists who are scraping by record to record, tour to tour, working real jobs outside music to make ends meet. Then this spoiled, no talent hack comes along and proves that you don't have to be good to make it big. You just have to be imminently marketable. But then again, I have already made mention of my thoughts on popular music (<a href="http://bluedev.joeuser.com

Not a big fan of either song but I felt that Jessica's version was missing everything that made the original a good song. She does manage to make it different, which is always good when ripping someone off, er, I mean doing a cover song. But I just don't think Jessica Simpson is strong enough vocally to ever really justify doing a cover. I don't think she will ever stand up to the original.

I read articles, posts, and blog entries from folks with a strong Democratic/liberal tilt to them. They have so much passion, so much feeling, so much energy behind their support of one candidate or principle. And then equally articulate, passionate, and intelligent Republican/conservative people reply. Or vice versa. And you know what? In a way I envy th

Well, I will go out on a limb here and be the unpopular voice. But I am okay with that. As an artist I found him very cliche in an era where angst was simply the style of the day. As for his demise, I will simply quote a true lyrical genius, Neil Peart: Proud swagger out of the schoolyard Waiting for the world's applause Rebel without a conscience Martyr without a cause And now you're trembling on a rocky ledge Starrin

My copy of the special edition of Unreal Tournament 2004 arrived yesterday. Due to overwhelming pre-orders I had to wait for a second batch. That was fin for me as I have never purchased a game this close to release. I could be patient. And not only did Epic release a great demo but they have also released perhaps one of the all time greatest PC games ever

I love strategy games. That doesn't necessarily mean I am that great at them, but real time strategy (RTS) games certainly comprise the majority of my gaming library. I love building bases, seeing my towns/complexes grow and become more intricate, more sophisticated. And I love churning out units. Lots and lots of units. Oh yeah, gaming goodness. But I hate resourcing. In a big way. And therein lies the inherent beauty of what I

This past week I did something I have never done before. And it was something I swore I would never do. I preordered a game. Yep, I paid full price for a game before it was even released. I know there are a lot of gamers who do this, so for them it isn't a big deal. But for someone who has never, ever pruchased a game on release, while still at full price, preordering a game is monumental. And it was only a month or so ago
