I'd make this page black if it wasn't already that color.

Samuel Alito was confirmed today as the 110th justice on the Supreme Court. While I'm sure many on the right are cheering this as a victory, I'd say it's more like a tragedy in the making for the American people. His nomination basically paves the way for overturning Roe v Wade and a woman's right to privacy and choice. What he doesn't do to women's rights, he will do in favors to big business at the expense of American citizens.

I've addressed my feelings about abortion plenty in my last blog, so I won't get into it anymore on here. All I'll say is that Alito is a nut, a radical, a Catholic who does not represent the ideals of most Americans and someone who WILL push his extreme religious agenda on the rest of the country.

Project Runway

So if any of you have ever been to my apartment, you know that the computer is right next to the television. While I'm on here, K is often watching TV. Lately she's been tuning into this program called 'Project Runway.' Since it's playing right next to my face, I'm compelled to watch. Here's my commentary:

This season of 'Project Runway' has the following types of people competing on it: worn out looking chicks, flaming twinky gay guys, a bohemian dude with a bushy beard and Michael Bolton hair, an Emo kid, and a token uppity black woman.

While all of these people are equally annoying they pale in comparison to the now very preggo Heidi Klum. She has got to be the most annoying part of they show. Every other word out of her mouth is seperated with a 5 second pause, and she looks back and forth at the contestants like a robot. I don't know if she's trying to add dramatic pause, but coupled with her vacant plastic stares, it looks more like she's too stupid to put her words together. Maybe she's just trying to do the typical kraut uber-chic artsy talk like Franz Dieter? Regardless it sucks and makes me want to punch the screen. I wish she'd go pop out that kid and leave us all alone.

The Virginia Million

As if I didn't have enough to do.

The other day while reading about the latest success of the Million Dollar Homepage, I thought "Wouldn't it be cool if there was a site like this based on Virginia businesses?" So after a bit of work, I've started a new site called The Virginia Million.

The Virginia Million is a pixel ad site. Basically, it sells pixels on a webpage for $1 a piece. The pixels are sold in 10x10 chunks, so the minimum amount for an ad is $100. I'm hoping that the Virginia theme will differentiate it self from some of the other sites out there. Furthermore, I think it would be fun for people (especially from Virginia) to go to a page with all kinds of local businesses that they could explore. Hopefully this can be a resource for both people doing business in Virginia and people looking for businesses.

I'm still tweaking it a bit and haven't started selling, but check out the general layout and tell me what you think.

Sports chicks

Call me old fashion, but am I the only one who thinks it sounds weird when girls talk about college (or even pro) football? Not being a sports guy myself, maybe I'm the problem? I've never understood what the appeal is. However, I do realize that many guys do understand, and they enjoy going back and forth over stats. But girls? Why? Do they really care how many rushing yards Player X has versus Player Y?

I don't know what to make of these people.

Craigslist women and their sexual history..

You know, I'm all for women's lib and equality and all that... but what the fuck is up with the women on craigslist who recount their sexual histories with the world. Do they think anyone cares? You know, people have their own problems and shit to deal with. The last thing I need is to be burdened with how you were abused as a preteen. You wanna confess that to someone? Get professional help, ok? Spill it to them, cause as for me.. no thanks. You'll get no sympathy here.

I think that's what it is. Women who want sympathy for how fucked up their lives are. OR women who want to blame getting fondled as a kid for why they're a lazy sack of shit who's done nothing with their lives. I had an adulterous father who hit me with a belt and tried to pull a gun on me. Other than right now, you don't see me whining to the world about it. Grow up.

Maybe nothing- Judicial hearings ARE pointless.

Today Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.) remarked that if judges aren't going to answer questions asked of them at the hearings, then the hearings "may be pointless."

Gee, really. C'mon.. considering that Republicans hold the majority all around in this government, I think it's pretty safe to say that these judicial proceedings are pointless. Does it really matter what questions are asked. They aren't going to make some great revelation anyways. Republicans want this guy in and can hammer it through a vote. Why waste the public's time with these hearings that aren't of any consequence anyways. Let's just move to a vote and get it over with. Ugh.

On a side note, has anyone noticed how much older Sam Alito's wife looks than him. I suppose all those years of screaming at abortion docs has taken it's toll. Could somebody just toss her a fetus so she can explain just how "living" and "seperate" it really is? If it's so seperate and independent and yadayada... why isn't it breathing? Exactly. Not so cute and cuddly and soft focus now is it?

Stern on Sirius

After about 10 years, Howard Stern is back on in Richmond, VA (well, everywhere technically since his move to Sirius). To me this represents the ultimate payback against the Ukrop family who got him knocked off the air in this city. Now not only are Richmonders listening, they're listening totally uncensored. In case any of you were wondering, he does cuss, but it's really in moderation. When listening to his show, you don't really feel like he's flouting his newfound freedom. Have I mentioned that it's a riot?! People in traffic must think I'm a nut because I'm driving to work laughing my balls off.

On a side note, George Takei (aka Sulu from Star Trek) is there announcer. Of course, since he just recently announced that he's gay, they take plenty of shots at him, and he just takes it in stride. One thing I noticed however is that George sounds really stuffy when he speaks. It's such an awkward.. I dunno.. plastic-y voice. I don't get it.

Pissing contests

Sometimes you just have to pick your battles. A few weeks ago I was over at T-bird's apartment playing video games, and he invites over his friend.. uhh.. Jimmy (yeah that's it). Not a bad guy, but you can definitely tell there are some major inadequacy issues going on here. People with these issues are not worth the time or energy to argue with.

One of the most common indicators that somebody has inadequacy issues, in my opinion, is when they try to get in "pissing contests" with you. By this I mean they want to argue with you about trivial and pointless subjects- usually why their opinion x or thing they own y is better than yours. It doesn't take me long to figure these people out, and once I do I shut up, because there's just no point. They want- they need to win. I don't need to win.

Anyways, first Jimmy wants to argue with me over the merits of Xbox 360 versus the upcoming PS3. Jimmy seemed appalled when I said flat-out that I'm not interested in the new Xbox, then he wanted to get into it about how PS3's merits are frivolous and that basically Xbox is better because of the game Halo. My points about how the PS3 will have superior hardware and a vastly more extensive lineup of games fell on deaf ears. I figure if you aren't going to listen to what I have to say or you can't accept that I know better and you're just a sucker who paid too much for a piece of shit, then there really isn't any point in me continuing to speak.

The second petty argument was about Sirius vs. XM. Since I couldn't get a word in edgewise, I'll just vent it here. Between me and my girlfriend we have both services, so let's nip that in the bud first. I like Sirius more because, well, the content is better. XM has these fuckin' station names that don't mean anything- "Fred", "Lucy", "Ethel" wtf?! "Squizz?!" wtf is a Squizz?! Which is more explanatory? "Fred" or "Alt Nation"? Oh, and your argument about how "the punk station plays hip-hop.." Well FYI, there is no "Punk" station on Sirius... nor is there one on XM. Apparently you were thinking of "Faction", but if you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that's the skater station. Apparently skaters listen to hip-hop. I wouldn't know personally, I don't skate. But last time I played Tony Hawk, they had hip-hop songs on the soundtrack.. so. The only thing XM has over Sirius is the hardware. It's just a matter of where your priorities are: hardware or actual programming.

Ahh.. now that I got that out of my system, let's just cut to the chase. My cock is bigger than yours. Deal with it.

Welcome to the Loedown by Goodlovin'

Surprise surprise! I'm back! To all of you who thought I was gone for good, you should've known better.

There are several reasons why I discontinued my old blog. Mainly because I got tired of it. But also, having so much crass commentary with my name all over it was just too much of a burden. It's not like I'm getting paid for this. It was just too much to deal with. Another problem was that I felt pidgeonholed into a certain style and frequency of posts. This new site will be different. Instead of me feeling the need to crank out content at least weekly, I'm just going to do it when inspired. That means you might see several posts a day or nothing for weeks. It just depends on if I have anything to say or not.

Also, I do have intentions to alter the design and layout a bit. Who wants the same old tired Blogger template that 50 million other sites use. I've chosed this for now because it should be pretty easy to alter down the road. Keep comin' back for updates and goings on.

Word. Peace. Shalom.. etc, etc..
