            <title>it seemed like a good idea at the time?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>standing in line it seemed like a good idea for $5.50, after downing the whole "big box" my stomach isn't all too happy with me.   of interest the back of the box has lifing instructions, suggesting to lift with the legs and not the back.   anyhow this lunch weighed in at 2-3 lbs probably.  i think i'll be skipping the next few meals!</p>

            <title>13 reasons why sarah palin sucks</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>as pointed out by jungle mike and lifted from the <a href="http://www.who-sucks.com/people/13-reasons-why-sarah-palin-sucks">who sucks blog</a></p>

<p>Well, John McCain has finally announced his running mate, and as we at Who-Sucks.com had expected, he made quite a sucky choice. In the 24 hours since McCain announced that Governor Sarah Palin was his choice, we've gone around the net looking for some precise reasons why she sucks.</p>

<p>Here are 13 reasons:</p>

<ol>
	<li>A poor record: Her only political experience has been a few years as mayor of a small town in Alaska and less than two years as governor of that state. Her record wasn't so great: the small town she left behind is now in financial ruin.</li>
	<li>She has no experience with national level politics. At the time of this posting, many of her views on national policy issues were unknown simply because she is so inexperienced that she hasn't even made public statements about them. Presidential history scholars believe she may be "the most inexperienced person on a major party ticket in modern history."</li>
	<li>She has no foreign policy experience. None.</li>
	<li>Iraq War? Our country is in the midst of a war, and Palin's son is going to fight in that war. However, Salon.com reports that she hasn't even given much thought to the Iraq War, and has no clear opinions about it. Great.</li>
	<li>She is a creationist, and she wants "creation science" to be taught in public schools.</li>
	<li>She doesn't believe in man-made global warming. Maybe that's why she supports drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge?</li>
	<li>Not only does she think the government should be telling people who they can and cannot marry, she also thinks that same sex couples should be denied benefits given to straight couples.</li>
	<li>Palin has been accused of abusing her power as Alaska governor to try to get her ex-brother-in-law fired as a state trooper. An investigation is underway.</li>
	<li>She has messed up views on wildlife protection. Enivornmentalists are appalled by her support of a $150-per-wolf bounty program. She's also supported the use of government money to educate people about how great it is to shoot bears and wolves, and she doesn't want the polar bear to make it onto the endangered species list.</li>
	<li>Even if they aren't true, rumors about her pretending to be pregnant to cover up her teenage daughter's accidental pregnancy are not going to help her image.</li>
	<li>Ninja editing: Her Wikipedia entry needed to be cleaned up before the public announcement that she was McCain's VP pick.</li>
	<li>She has no clue about the role of the Vice President.</li>
	<li>It is quite clear she was chosen just because of her gender (most Republicans have never even heard of her), and she's being used as a trick by the McCain campaign to gain some of Hillary Clinton's supporters.</li>
</ol>]]></description>

            <title>a little about one of our candidates</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>excerpted from jungle mike, full post <a href="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=132105&blogID=428809538">here</a>.</p>

<p>Lets examine who this woman is that stirring all this attention:</p>

<p>Gov. Palin is the biggest walking contradiction ever; a complete and utter yes girl for the religious right.<br />
Like I said before, she can't even think for herself  how else can you explain such hypocritical views?<br />
(taken from wikipedia)<br />
(((Palin is pro-life, a prominent member of Feminists for Life, and supports the death penalty. In 2002, while running for lieutenant governor, Palin called herself as "pro-life as any candidate can be." Palin has said she has good friends who are gay, but opposes same-sex marriage. She supported a non-binding referendum for a constitutional amendment to deny benefits to homosexual couples. Palin has stated that she supported the 1998 constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. According to The Anchorage Daily News, she has supported allowing discussion of the debate between creationism and evolution in public schools, if students bring it up, and not necessarily as part of the curriculum. Although she has tried marijuana, she does not support legalization for recreational use, stating concerns about the message it would send to her children.)))</p>

<p>1.)She says she has gay friends (kind of like when white folks say yea I have black friends) but can't even support domestic benefits? I mean come on folks its one thing to be against same sex marriage because of your religious convictions but give me a fucking break!?!</p>

<p>2.)Pro-life but supports the death penalty?</p>

<p>3.)Smoked weed but doesn't believe it should be legalized? What a fucking tool!!!</p>

<p>People who are this god damn contradictory fucking terrify me, they should not be in a position of power and are just one Jaguar away of jerking the world off the wrong way..</p>]]></description>

            <title>random web search stats</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>i've been tweaking the web site at <a href="http://www.renwerxtech.com/">work</a> and keeping tabs on the analytics stats.  here's one that slapped me in the face:</p>

<p>google (from search) - 2,710<br />
google (paid ads) - 496<br />
yahoo - 15<br />
msn - 9<br />
live search - 8</p>

<p>those numbers are inbound clicks to us from those sources.   i knew most everyone used google, but i keep reading about yahoo and microsoft still having some kind of userbase, but damn, those numbers are nonexistant.  of course up till now we've pandered our tweaking and tuning towards google, but have started pumping info at yahoo and live search.  guess we'll see what happens in the next few weeks with those numbers?</p>

<p>(p.s. the site is still a work in progress, its starting to look better and is slowly getting there)</p>]]></description>

            <title>grand tour of warcrack</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>ed abduction gave me the tour around his realm on warcraft and some goodie bags.  so far the only person who made fun of me for playing warcraft admitted he had an account, i figured i'd get slammed over it?  maybe there are more closet nerds out there than i thought.</p>

<p>also while installing patches i was skimming the readmes.  yeah i had nothing to do today.  one of the patches was dedicated to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gygax">gary gygax</a>.  unusual, but hey, the guy spawned a whole legion of games that influenced gaming, whether you did play AD&D or not. i tried, but realized real quick that AD&D was much like doing math homework with dragons and elves.  and also it usually devolved into jumping around and going medieval on each other with fake swords.  i remember one round of D&D ending with some bruises and minor blood spillage. +1 saving bonus for parents not being around.</p>

<p>so any other dorkuses out there, i have a character on bloodhoof and another on rivendare.  prolly stick to bloodhoof for now.</p>]]></description>

            <title>WoW.</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>i got bored yesterday and decided to give world of warcraft a go.  it takes me back to playing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bard%27s_Tale_(1985)">bards tale games</a> on the C64.  albeit amped up quite a bit over those glorious 16 color graphics at 320x200.</p>

<p>WoW is a neat game but geez, looking at some of the wiki pages containing mountains of information about the game is craziness.   who knows how into it i'll get since i'm just playing the free trial right now.  i'd rather be playing GTA4.  but that would involve buying a 360...</p>

<p>it took maybe 3 hours of playing before i was propositioned for necrophilia.  i'm an undead warlock and someone wanted to get it on.  weird.  i told her to go find me a goat and then we could talk.  a little later someone else bugged me about gettin it on.  wait is sex with the undead necrophilia? because necrophilia is for humpin dead people?  and what if and undead has sex with the dead?  or the living and the undead?  oh my, its a whole new sexual liberation thing going on there in azeroth.  i'm waiting to stumble into one of <em><strong>*those*</strong></em> dungeons!!!</p>

<p>these screenshots are the actual 320x200 resolution the C64 displayed at.  lol.   i wasted entire summers looking at those screens!  well... zork, hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, hackers, mission impossible, and marble madness too. among others!</p>

            <title>the price you pay?</title>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>so today was one of those craptastic stressy days.  i rarely have them but this was one. i wont go into it but ppl got laid off, i wasnt one of them but i knew beforehand which is shitty, i'm not one to hear let alone deal with it, i usually hear about the layoffs as i get laid off.  wheeee fun being the worker drone?</p>

<p>after that, i just really thought a beer or 5 would be great after work but i'm licenseless and whatnot.  shrugged it off and dug into some geek shit.  bill called said jessica wanted to go out for a drink and whatnot so i hell yeah get that beer.  at annabel's... on a friday...</p>

<p>ok i realized i've never been to annabells other than weds techno night and mondays 3$ steak nights.  i'm guessing annabells isnt what it used to be, they had some progrock band playing. there was discussion about progrog, and all i can come up with that's positive is styx -> mr. roboto, rush -> tom sawyer and mike oldfield -> tubular bells.  anyhow we lost interest pretty quick in the bar and it was right before 1am.</p>

<p>figured grab a 6-pack for home and fuckshitfuck its akron and there aint many places to grab beer.  in fact any open are shittastic and i know this.  place we eyed up didnt seem bad tonite.  couple kids waiting in line at the window.  you know how it is you cant go in, you order at a bullet-proof window.</p>

<p>while i'm waiting some guy was bugging bill about something, looked like bumming money or some shit.  annoying yeehaawww. well then dood headed straight over to me and started mumbling nothingness about shit.  seriously i couldn't tell what he wanted. he mumled something about canton and pointed like 487 feet around the car and blah blah blah.</p>

<p>i got my change thru the bulletproof tray ghettomart gizmo and the bum got all wired and shit as i put my change in my pocket.  he mumbled more nonsense at me and i headed for the car, he made a move i'm not sure but it seemed like to _get_in_the_car_ and i snapped and grabbed the guy and shoved him off, hopped in and bill was off pretty quick.</p>

<p>i'm not the quickest snapster on my feet so i just flipped him off and he called me a faggot.  it was a pretty lame goodbye.  at some point the kid behind me in line said to "get him" but haha whatever.  it is all a blur and something i've truely forgotten, but such is the price you pay for a beer.</p>]]></description>
