Okay I will admit that I liked the movie Green Street Hooligans, even though Frodo was about as far away from conviencing as could be in the film, but it appears it might have a lot of truth to it now.The Football Association is holding talks with West Ham, Millwall, the Football League and the Metropolitan police as it begins to gather information relating to the violent scenes inside and

It is sad that a radio show that I normally would grab their podcast has gone off the air. The founder and host of the show had his step children threatened by f'n Liverpool fans over the last 5 months, so he pulled it. All of this has to do with the host taking a point a little far about the Hillbourgh tragedy where 96 fans were killed, and stating that the scousers were at least partially to

Here we go!I'm installing the latest Ubuntu on an old machine for our 4 year old. She wants a computer so bad, and we had this one sitting around but it won't run a recent version of windows and I'm a fan of Linux... so here we go... it's going to be interesting getting childrens games all set up, and making sure sites like nickelodeon work, but it's my grand experiement of the week!

It's the middle of the week and I'm fighting the urge to take a nap here at my desk, which seems to be possible at times if you take queues from some people that work here...It's about time to take a big financial change, yes it involved more automation in our monthly finances. Something that will put it out of site and out of mind. I still haven't completely figured out if this is going to be

Not only am I re-organizing my life financially, I'm also going to change it physically. I've been slowly losing weight and getting in better shape for a while now (including quitting smoking) which I've not been doing that bad on (down 30 lbs over the last year), but now I'm going to kick it in high gear. My goal is 40 lbs. down by my birthday, which I think is completely possible.

Yesterday we awaited the Snow-Pocolypse and started going through the basement. We have had a few water issues down there from time to time, but the biggest issue is just the amount of stuff down there. There are boxes that haven't been opened since we moved into the house... which is a sure sign of too much crap. So we have a huge amount of stuff that we are putting in the "garage sale / craigs

I'm so tired of being a financial retard... it always seems like the second I'm actually on top of things something comes up and all of the savings and emergency funds I had built up are gone. And more and more things keep piling up behind it now, you know just those little things that always pop up and you forget about them and then they bite you in the ass in the long run.

I need a roto-rooter for my head... the girls had it last week now B and I have it. B seems to be worse than I am, I just wish I could pop off my head and scoop it out. It's been a while since I took a day off because of sickness, and I realize that daytime TV really does suck.

Taken from Barack Obama's victory speech :This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that's on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She's a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old. She was born just a

All nervousness aside about the upcoming election (because my gut tells me there is going to be some shady stuff happening yet again with this one)... I have to say it's almost sad at this point hearing the old man grasping at any little thing to make himself look better. I just don't understand how either camp can stand for it anymore, it's like that bad elementary bully who finally get's put in

Amazing how they can run on a platform pushing so called "family values" and yet here is the real speed bump in that."How has Palin brought up her own kids? Her eldest son is a high-school drop-out. Her eldest daughter has had, so far as one can tell from press reports, very uneven attendance in high school, and no plans for college. Her other daughters seem to spend a lot of time traveling the

Well the US Men's team finally fell last night in the quest to qualify for the 2010 FIFA World Cup last night. In my opinion they lost (2 to 1) to the experience of Trinidad & Tobago more so than over all talent, the US pushed hard and missed an equalizer that could have given them a possible draw, but alas it was a few feet too wide.But never fear, the US is still very much in the top of their

I'd also like to recommend that all you McPalin people start stearing clear of them as well, the idiot might just rub off on you even more.What is it with these people?
