Kindle 2


This may seem like a big advertisement, but I am genuinely fascinated by this device. I want one, but $359 is too much money for my blood, especially when the Playstation 3 takes up lots of my free time.

Books downloaded to a handheld device?? There would be some books that I would purchase only on hardcover, like Toni Morrison, but the rest...who cares.

Think of all the space I would save!

The Next Concert



Hmmmmm, so where do I go to get tickets lately.

Ticketmaster

Are there any other options out there...let me see...

Live Nation

Well, these two companies are merging under the guise of "the bad economy". I smell a big, fat smelly rat. The Democrats in Congress better step it up and reject this merger. What do you call one company that represents artists, sell merchandise, promotes and sell tickets for shows across the country? I call that a monopoly. If you're an artist and want to be at the best venues with access to the most people you're going to sign with the company that give you the most bang for your buck. If this goes through there will be one company...that's it.

Next Live Nation Entertainment will start producing music to sell on their own record label that plays on their own MP3 players!

Monday Morning


Picture it...

Monday morning crowded subway platform in New York City. I go to the end of the platform toward the back of the train in the hopes that I will get a seat for my thirty minute journey. The doors opened and out came one of worst smells you can think of. Think of bad, bad body odor that defiles description. Just one whiff and I got out of the car and went to the next one that was filling because of the dozens of jumping into the car before the train doors closed. God forbid I missed that train. It would throw off those whole morning and I would risk being late. There I was on a packed train headed downtown. The funny part is looking at the people in the funky car that stayed in order to have a seat with their mouths covered.

So that was the beginning of my week. It's happened before, but every time I'm just frustrated and saddened. Saddened because someone has so much disrespect for themselves and others to smell like that. I think I saw his shoes off!

I wonder what brought him to that moment.

The Team is Back

This is great news. I'm hoping she can bring back the magic with this one.
