MTV plays music videos now?

MTV has redeemed themselves!!! It looks as if they have opened up their entire catalog of music videos for us all to watch online. This site has them all. I applaud MTV, looks like they have finally gotten back to what they were all about from the start. Music Videos!!! I have spent at least 3 hours on this site so far, and it looks as if they are all here. My favorite music is from the 80's. That's when I grew up, so i can tell you, this is classic MTV at it's best. To bad Martha Quinn, Nina Blackwood and the rest of the first VJ's arn't on there as well. You can't have everything I suppose. You can also embed vidoes as well. I leave you guys with one of my favorites. Yes-Owner Of A Lonely Heart.

  • Enjoy!!!

Trunk Or Treat?

WTF?

Halloween is gone and past. I had 6 kids show up at my house. That was cool. The lady and myself had decided awhile ago to give out dollar store toys instead of candy, so I had this big bin full of cheap crap for the kids to dig through and pick out something. We over did it. We only had six kids, no I got a big bin full of dollar store crap!!

I drove past these 2 churches Halloween eve that were advertising Trunk Or Treat. It works this way I think. You park your car, open your trunk, and the kids walk from car to car and trick or treat. WTF is that!

Todays kids or soo lazy that the candy is being delivered to them now!!!! I don't believe it.

I can understand my nieghborhood. The houses are spread apart, very spread apart. I would say it's a good 30 yards between them at least. So yeah, that's a trek, but sheesh, in other nieghborhoods the houses are pretty close together.

I don't know. I think we live in an over-sensitive society. We are catering to these kids too much I think. I'm not a parent. Don't wanna be. But I think some of these so called parents worship their kids. The little darlings can do no wrong. That's bullshit.

My niece and nephew are prime examples of this. These kids have got it made. Thier parents at one time did not believe in spankings. If the kids were little assholes, they were sent to their rooms. Now, I can agree to this sorta. I was sent to my room on occasion when I was a child and it was considered punishment. In these two kids cases I would have to disagree. In their rooms they each have a TV, DVD player, Video Games...etc. This ain't punishment!!!!

Who knows, I do know this. I'm glad I'm not a parent!!!

Time to go get a beer!

WOW

I hooked up the web for my girl the other day. She used to play World Of Warcraft. She stated to me when she used to rag on me that she wanted the web to look up planting supplies. Did she actually think that I would believe that. She has been logged onto World Of Warcraft for almost 2 days now. Non stop.

I used to play that game. I got her started in it. I figured that would be a good activity we both could share and do together. I could not have been further from the truth. She always wanted to go off and do her own thing. So, I let her. No biggie. She slowed me down anyway.

Well, I have grown up, so to speak. I have not logged into that infernal game for over a year now. I have uninstalled it from my PC and I have moved on. Looking back, I can not believe how much time I wasted on that game. WOW was not the first game like that that I have played. I started Everquest when it first was released back in the day. I was addicted to that.

I can see the draw that these games have to people, especially reclusive people. Me, I hate people to begin with. I could care less if I talk to anybody or not. When I did play those games, I soloed. I did not group with people.

A year ago when my girl was playing her game, and we were arguing about it, she said to me that the only way she feels normal is when playing that game. That scares me. Should I just cut the web, and not have it in the house. I know that she will do nothing but play that game. I am at a loss. Maybe I just may bring my girl back to realality and tell her to quit, or we are through. I don't know.

I do know this, with her playing that game, she is out of my hair.

NO INTERNET IN THE BASEMENT!!!!

The lady has been ragging on me for a few weeks now. I'm too damn cheap to buy a wireless router, so I had the cable guy switch the service from the basement to the ground floor. The lady has her internet, I'm at peace. She is happy. I'll probably break down and get a router in a few days. I hate spending money, but, it's needed.

On a more positive note. I have found a supplyer to charge my CO2 bottle for the tapper. I am really looking forward to finally start using that tapper. Tap beer tastes so much better than canned or bottled. It's cheaper too. I buy pony kegs, they are easier to handle than a full keg.

I ain't picked up a digital camera as of yet, so I don't have any pics. The basement looks kinda ragged anyways. I just have the basics unpacked, so it's not much to look at. The bar is there though!!!! That's all I need...LOL.

Oh BTW

On a side note. I wanted to add. That Electronic cigarette is working out very well. My lady and myself have cut our smoking in half. We were going through 3 cartons a week. Now we both smoke 1 1/2 cartons between us. I still can't use it while driving. I need a real cig for that. But I will say. When I am drinking, this thing works like a charm!!! Just like smoking a real cigarette, so that is a major plus. I smoke like a chimney when I drink and I have noticed that when I wake up afterwards, I do not hack up a lung. The dude that invented this thing is a life saver!!!! If you are a heavy smoker, I recommend picking one of these things up.

Honey Do!

I have been working on the "Honey Do" list this last month. Hanging shelves and hooks and crap. All upstairs!!!! Urgh. But, thats alright. I really have not done anything in the basement besides knock back a few. I have come to realize this basement is going to work out pretty good. Last weekend I was getting pretty sloshed down there and had the tunes up pretty loud. My lady was kinda pissed, but she got over it. I went out on my front porch to smoke and to see if my music could be heard. I don't want no sound complaints. Just as I suspected. You could hear the music, barely. Ha! Perfect. I can jam in my basement and I just have to deal with the lady. Choice! I don't blast my music that often, so I know this will work out well. I am kinda worried though. When I finally get up north to get my big speakers, I may have a problem. I'm talking about 1000 Watt concert monitors. The nieghbors may hear those when I get them hooked up. I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

On another note, I have figured out how I will place the shelves for all of my equipment and records and crap. Now I just have to get the cash to purchase the materials. I am planning on doing this during the winter. Boy, I can't wait. I am really juiced about this!!

Later peeps, have to hang another shelf for the lady!!!

Still Resting


I'm still taking a break. This move took alot out of me. In my past moves I have always hired movers to move my crap. This time I did it all myself. Sheesh, we have alot of crap! I still have boxes in the basement that need attention, the lady has the upstairs almost done. 1 thing I would like to mention though. I have been using this electronic cigarette as a replacement for my smoking. It works like a charm. Click the link above, it will give you all of the info. I was surprised when I first tried one. My lady says they will work for her as well.
