Captions, anyone?

I think that 95% of the blogging community is terrified to express any opinion other than atheistic lefty bush-hating homo crap. It’s just like college.

The problem is further exasperated when their only opposition is the other 5% who have their heads stuck so far up the far right’s butt they can’t pose one serious, creative or truly critical thought.

Which is why I stick to humorous, rather than political commentary.

Of how my POT got switched with these HUMAN GUTS.

Loosely Related Fuzzy Memory Time:

For a while I delivered lost luggage to people once it had been found at the airport. It was quite rewarding. Since I didn’t work for the airport or the airlines, people always saw me as their personal luggage saviour. I’d get offered meals, tips, and general well-wishing. It’s a great feeling. Even though you’re only doing the job of a basic delivery guy people act like you rescued their kid from a well.

My opinions toward file sharing and downloading copyrighted music have evolved into ambivalence. When I first learned about Napster in college I went into a frenzy grabbing everything from U2 to Wall of Voodoo. Then the controversy brewed over the ethics of file sharing. I disagreed with the Illegal part and got rid of all the music.

What I noticed is that none of the arguments I could come up with for file sharing held water. Sure the music industry is reaming us on CD prices, but so is the guy selling jujubes at the movie theater- I’m not about to bash the display case and start throwing boxes around thinking I’m Robin Hood. I just bring my own.

Now, I no longer hang out at the street corner screaming at the downloading masses. I figure its natural economics- companies will eventually lower prices and find some other way to gauge us.

Plus, if a buddy of mine wants to give me some songs, or wants a couple of mine I’m not going to turn him in to the FBI. Copyright laws include provisions for “fair use” intending normal casual interaction (albeit my interpretation may be a bit off). It gets the music circulating. If I’m offered a song I’ll take it, but I’m not going to spend my days fishing for virus-soaked Backstreet Boys tracks using Kazaa. I guess I’ve just evolved a live-and-let live-attitude. To me it’s lame to have a gazillion songs you sucked off the net. I also think its lame that the industry has yet to embrace the idea of compromise.

Which brings me to this: Today is Grey Tuesday.

I think its a healthy and logical development. DJ Danger Mouse just put out a phat mix of the albums and perhaps future revsions of copyright law will allow samplers to claim the new works as their own. EMI wants some cash if you’re gonna benifit from Beatles songs. Jay-Z had a great idea with his Black Album synching with the White Album, and if this marks a trend it could possibly have a signifigant effect on the futures of both file sharing and sampling.

I think it’s pretty retarded that people are so adamant about making sure gay people can’t get married.

There aren’t a bunch of gay guys somewhere all ticked off about my marriage, I’m not about to get all worked up over theirs.

It’s funny, the soapboxes people pick. With all the sham weddings out there and freakin’ morons having kids and boatloads of divorces, it’s kind of nice to see a group who at least thinks marriage is something important. I mean, it’s not like they’ll be dating my daughter or anything, but come on- ease up on it people. There’s gotta be a better soapbox…

Hello! Didn’t I say this before?

Cats wouldn’t think twice of eating you if you died.

RENO (Reuters) Special Report- Fans across the world were shocked today as pictures surfaced on the internet of Froggie the Frog, partying just days before his mysterious death. The pictures, leaked by an anonymous source, depict the legendary frog carousing with Courtney Love, Mickey Rouke and Scott Weiland at L.A.’s famous Viper Room.

“We don’t know what to make of this,” Froggie Fan Club President Jason Shugars stated Wednesday, “but we know our Froggie wouldn’t do that.”

Fellings were mixed concerning the pictures, though, with some fans saying that this didn’t shock them. According to Matt Sledge of Oxford, Ohio based Radio Station 97X, the public shouldn’t be alarmed. “So what if he was partying? It’s no scandal. People need to stop making such a big deal and focus on the Frog and his music.”

To Froggie’s family, though, this comes as a tough blow to their claims that the Frog was clean and sober months before his death. “This is just another sham,” said Mr. Squiggles, Froggie’s father, “We know Froggie wasn’t partying anymore. Whoever put those pictures on the net knows who killed him, and we’re gonna find you.”

Washoe County authorities have been scouring the scene since last week, hoping to find a clue to the frogs untimely death. Owners of the house, Ed and Heidi Adkins, were unavailable for comment Wednesday.

I’m sorry. I really didnt have to, but I said it. We are getting a Dell, tho. I succombed to this deal on slickdeals.com (another reason to LOVE RSS aggregators). This will replace our pathetic PII 233mhz paperweight.

Of course it wasn’t without it’s difficulties. You have to be real fast to get the coupons to make it all work. And some people (cough, jason, cough) even post FAKE coupon codes on the bulliten board just to frustrate their friends!!! Mad world. Mad world.

This ain’t really a review. More of a declaration, nay- a gloat. I have Probot. I have Pearl Jam. Got ‘em yesterday and today has been muy bueno. I recomend. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to hear all the tracks on Probot, but what I did I liked. DEF not for the faint of ears, and will probably kill you if you’re into EMO. The PJ release is mostly stuff I’ve heard but lost over the years. Nice to have tracks like “Wash” and “Dirty Frank” back tho.

RENO- (AP) Breaking News. According to a press release from the Washoe County Coroners Office today, preliminary toxicology reports revealed “high amounts of alcohol and other drugs” in the blood of legendary rocker Froggie the frog at the time of his death.

As the resulting buzz surrounding the report was felt around the world, family in Reno Nevada vehemently defended the dead frog. “We are confident that Froggie had nothing to do with that stuff. He was clean,” says Mr. Squiggles, Father of Froggie. Squiggles, who now resides in a 15 gallon tank at the 400 block of Mt. Rose Street said that the rest of the family is “100 percent behind our Froggie.”

In what has become a common sight at the Nation’s schools and universities, students at the University Of Nevada here in town held a candle-light vigil for the fallen amphibian, singing songs and sharing stories of how the frog had touched their lives. “We want to remember the good times and all the happiness he brought us,” cited long time senior Ryan Jerz, “He was a good frog. He’ll be missed.”

As the Nation come to grips with the loss of this cultural icon, the questions still remain about his demise. Was Froggie really over the demons that plagued him earlier in his career? And if so, how could the toxicology reports be explained? His family believes he was a victim of foul play. “We’re gonna find out what happened to our Froggie,” says Squiggles, “and my guess is you gots to start askin’ those people he was livin’ with, and that fish- that Beta person. We won’t rest ’till we see some justice round here.”

No, it wasn’t that major butt-kicking everyone has always said was coming to me. It was valentines.

We spend a wonderful day together. That was sweet. I learned how to snowboard. That was excruciating. I fell. A lot. Really hard. Dear Lord it hurt. My wrists, my butt- I feel like I just finished my first week in prison.

I know. That one was bad. But you chuckled, didn’t you? That’s what I’m here for.

Froggie is dead. I repeat Froggie the Frog is dead. He was found last night floating in his bowl which he shares with one “Fishie” Beta Fish. Authorities haven’t yet released his official cause of death, but aren’t ruling out foul play. Services were held yesterday in my bathroom at 8:35 PM, just before flushing him into the great beyond. Fishie, his nearest relative, (since the rest of his family has been long since sold into the Greater Reno population) will be accepting gifts and well wishes on behalf of the family. He is visably shaken but reported to be holding up well. The dedicated news team here at EDANDHEIDI.com will keep you posted as this saddening situation develops.

The band The Darkness needs to fall down a well.

Can I get a witness?

I’m out all day at this dealie put on by the Reno Chamber of Commerce- but that doesn’t mean uncle Eddie forgot about his peeps. No Sir.

There’s a band from ABQ I’ve been trying to catch up on latey named Stoic Frame. You can check ‘em out here. I could only describe them as a politically-minded mix of Primus, Rage and the Gypsy Kings. One heck of a live show and they’re some real great guys. Back in college I used to run shows for the University and they were always a blast. Now that I have sparked your intrigue, go download a few songs off their “jukebox” page. Good Stuff.

Oh dear. I knew when I read that story on Dr. Atkins that it seemed skewed, but I figured it was a great chance to vent a little on those pesky fad dieters (and you will notice the quick jab to the Orkuters too). I overlooked what seemed like biased journalism for the sake of a joke.

Well, the joke is on me.

IT WAS PETA (link). PETA posed as a phony physicians’ accociation in order to peddle their agenda. Boo that crap. And to think, it was at the expense of the fad-diet army- and me. Well, I am sorry. For moment I was PETA’s little blog-monkey and it’s left a horrible, bitter taste in my mouth. Never again, my friends. Never ever again.

BTW tho. This by no means signals a change of heart regarding that Atkins crap. Put down that quadruple cheeseburger sans bun and jog a couple laps.
