This is the funniest thing I have seen today. Of course, I spent the better half of my morning pinning down my son so the nurse could jam large needles into his legs, proceeded by attempting to fix the insurance/dr. office charges against us. So, there wasn’t much competition. Yay for the numa numa song…
Ive played Lineage 2 for just over a year now. Level cap is 75 and although some hard core players have done it casual players get stuck along the way. Currently the boredom kicks in in the level 60’s as it dawns on players they might not want to be chained to their pc anymore looking for the next level or the next bit of A Grade gear. The latest patch included so called “catacombs” where you can entomb yourself (willingly) for hours getting better xp… but all the time just using company as a distraction for the banality of it all. Imagine millions of players dragging themselves to their pc everyday to spend hours on something that’ll one day not matter anyway. Truly this is bread and circuses for the masses. Nobody really talks about the outside world.. like what is happening in Zimbabwe or the looming danger of circumstances in Iran and the consequences of it in Iraq. Im in full rebellion. Dont get me wrong, Lineage2 is a good game to play.. just dont shackle yourself into a game packed full of other people..eat banana splits, make love… sunbathe..

PART 2 - 0827 hours, William was born unto this mad world. All is well with both he and Ma. Little Bill weighed in at 8lbs and likes to suck tit. Cant say fairer than that. He is my third child and bloody proud I am too.
“We waste our natural resources, as well as those of undeveloped countries, iron, oil, etc., in order to fill our cities and roads with a congestion of traffic that is in fact largely useless, and is a symptom of the meaningless and futile agitation of our own minds.”

by the way… tomorrow is my birthday. hooray for me.

Flag burning… free speech or jail time? Once again the House of Representatives has voted and passed the ban on burning of the American flag. Each time the proposed amendment has come to the House floor, it has reached the required two-thirds majority.
The next step is sending the bill up to the Senate. Early interviews of the Senate members shows that a majority support this new ammendment idea.
I understand the want and desire to protect our flag. I would not want to burn the flag out of disrespect for our country. But if we ban it then it seems to me that we are one step closer to that whole nonsense story about flushing the Quran down the toilet… International fuss over a symbol.
It is just a symbol, a very important symbol to most, but it is still free speech if you want to disagree and burn the flag. Just pass a law saying that burning of anything in public is illegal, dont stoop to removing the freedoms that make this country what it is: free.
In 1989 they decided that flag burning was considered free speech and protected by the Constitution. Before that it was banned due to war protesters during the Veitnam war era. The Senate will discuss the amendment after the 4th of July holiday… (right after the most patriotic day of the year)
Lets hope its just a phase and we will not lose another of our freedoms.
