Well.
First, watch this. It's a WMV off of amazon.com.
Now than, presuming that you are too lazy to have seen it. I'll have a quick description for you:
Al Franken (infamious liberal radio-host) is pitching his book in a commmerical. He has three guys (all white btw) and he greets each one in turn and they talk briefly. the third guy that he greets is not a lib, but a right-winger. After a quick exchange in which this is revealed, Franken kicks him in the groin, and smashes a (painfully obivious) breakable stool over his head. Than one of the other guys breaks a bottle over his head. And everyone is laughing. Except me.
Now I'm all for humor, but imagine if Sean Hannity, or (god forbid) Michael Savage were to do something like that. The sheer amount of outrage coming from all the libs would make you forget that we were ever in a war in Iraq! Why is it, again and again, that we have to suffer these indignities while those prissy little *BLANK*s can get away with whatever they want?
Ah, SIA.

Absolutely Not!
Okay...I was skimming Slashdot.org yesterday and I came across an article about some U.N./EU thing on the internet and stuff. I didn't get a chance to read it, but I figured that they were just whining again.
I was a bit off.
Apparently, they want the U.N. to take over the internet. As in, they would administer the root (primary) DNS servers. All I have to say about that is this:
TO HELL WITH THAT!!
Now, please note that I am referring to the actual place, which is a pit (metaphorically) of eternal suffering and stuff.
This jsut bring up a point I would like to make: The United States has been responsible for a number of things that have greatly benefited the world. I'll list three:
1. Panama Canal
2. GPS
3. The Internet
All three of these were invented by the US. All three greatly benefit the world. Does the world appreciate us for it? What do you think?
We handed over the Canal for some reason that I can't remember, but in all the history books in the other countries (France, Germany, so forth) do you think that they make a note that the US was so nice that we let anyone use it for virtually nothing? Sure there was as usage fee, but that for maintainance. Do you realize how much money these countries saved using our Canal?
And the GPS system. Virtually all the world's airplanes depend on it, but we made it. Do we get apprieciated for it?
And, of course, the internet. So the U.N. wants that too. Well, screw them. The U.N. doesn't need it. We made it, we own it. And if the rest of the world doesn't like it, they can do without until they make their own.

Something about being Tagged....
Okay, apparently I was tagged by Rabenstrange of The Rabenstranger Blog.
So here it is: Enough randomness.
Now than...on to business:
I tag TBQelite of TBQelite, Kate of Katespeak, Gerhalt of Gerhalt.com, EJB of Myfiendishlyfunnyblog, and Emily of Emilylick
(Note: Goto Rabenstranger for the rules.)
Also, I've been very busy with work lately and it isn't likely to to let up anytime soon, but hopefully I'll be able to squeeze out the remaining parts of my stories and post my first article in Depths of Twilight shortly. Hopefully.

Yo.
I have a question for you: If you were offered something that would make your live much easier for a nominial fee, and a similar product that did everything the former one did , but for free, which one would you pick.
Here's a second question: Regardless of what you picked in the first question, should you have a choice?
Why am I asking this? Because some people would say no. Link to Slashdot Article.
And while I'm at it, I'd like to say this: If you make something that is your own, and you wish to sell it, go right ahead. However, if someone is giving something similar away, so what? If you are taking someone's money for a product, that product should be superior to the free one, simply because it is costing your customer something.

Wow. It's been a while.
No, I'm not dead, I just feel that way. Currently, I am rendering 900 frames in Maya after I had finished my Video Test and Assignment on the accursed Mac...and my photoshop test and project...
Yeah. I've been at school for more than twelve hours and I ain't leaving yet. I have to leave by midnight though.
In any case, it's on frame 654 right now, so I should have enough time to compile it in Priemere, sync up the audio, render that out and save it as a quicktime movie and than email that to my instructor. Yeah, God willing.
Anyways, Advent: The chapter is a page away from being done. I assure you that it will be up by thursday. After that, I hope to have the next one up before Easter, because I start school again after that.
Anyways, its on 680 right now. I leave for the moment.
