Even on my Madden NFL 10 game the Oakland Raiders fans are gross. In the stands there is a huge dude with no shirt on chugging beer.

So I finally got my first cold this year. I forgot how much it sucks.

3 new songs for people that enjoy the same type of music as me (you know who you are)

Robert Francis - Nightfall
Cuff the Duke - Promises
The Sheepdogs - I don`t Know

Very disappointed that I can`t see Phoenix in TO. Go see them if you get a chance.

One of the best finishes to a football game on Sunday night. Belichek made a very rash decision going for it on 4th down, but it`s one of the situations if he makes it he`s a genius, if he doesn`t he cost them the game.

Star Trek came out on Bluray and at work I saw a lot of people with it in their hands buying it. Come out of the closet all of you Trek fans. No need to be ashamed anymore.

New channel "Aux TV" which plays all independent music videos. If you have Rogers it`s in the low 700`s.

Does anyone really get fooled by spam in their email?

Bought a netbook recently. Really digging it. small portable and perfect for just surfing the web while watching TV.

I wish there was a way to find out if the world was getting smarter or dumber. My money would be on dumber. Society now seems settled on having things just thrown on their lap. They are told what to listen to and told what to watch. There is a reason why independent music will always stay independent Can you really think of an era with worse music then we are hearing right now? Even the 80's had Michael Jackson, Madonna, and Metallica. What do we have now Boom Boom Pow?

If you dig a little deeper into the music you will find fantastic talent. And in every era there were artists that made it on talent alone. Jimi Hendrix is the best guitarist of all time, McCartney and Lennon were the best lyricists of all time. John Bonham of Zeppelin is the best drummer of all time. And in my opinion Black Sabbath is the best band of all time. All these bands were extremely talented and in that era that was what sales were based upon. Now we have these over produced and under talented bands and solo artists that are coming out based on either their looks or their style. Bands are made instead of formed. Bands are making singles instead of albums. If you look at the top 20 today you might find one band that actually plays instruments and isn't produced.

It is so refreshing to find people who think the same way as me, but most people don't really care what they are listening too. They just want something catchy and easy. And it's becoming harder and harder to find people that actually care about music. The industry is dying and eventually it will just be computer noises that are pleasing to the ear. It will probably sound a bit like Las Vegas.
