Welcome to New Blogger!

Genuises

I know those Google guys are supposed to be genuises, but sometimes I am not impressed. So let me get this straight. My blogger account can't be a gmail account? What is up with that? Why does it even have to be an e-mail address?

As you can tell I am still mad that they made me change. Hey it worked fine before. I was a happy camper. Why are you picking on me? Maybe I do not want your fancy new features?

Well at least I was able to delete the spam in the comments of the previous post.

Saint Valentine

The story of Saint Valentine (at least the one where he challenged Emperor Claudius) is a good story!

Madness!

Friends Night
Silent Night
Holy Night
All is calm
Madness!

Sweet, sweet night.

It is Funny

It is funny how knowing that you are blessed, knowing that you have nothing to complain about does not keep you from being depressed.

There is the problem!

Sitting in front of the computer so much, I do not sweat enough.

Movie Blog Update

Wow, I updated my movie blog!

Astronauts Gone Wild

This is just too wierd. It would be too wierd for teenagers. For someone who apparently had so much going on it just makes you scratch your head. Huh?

One point no one seems to be making is also that adultry is a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ). This is a separate law that members of the military live by. So anyway a court martial awaits her and her astronaut lover, too. The other lady in the triangle might be ok as far as military law goes if she and he were not married to someone else. I have not read anything about that.

When I was on a ship in the Navy there were only men aboard and it was a totally sex free environment, which helped everyone focus on the job at hand. One of the reasons I left the military was that they were starting to mix men and women on the ships, which I thought was a rather bad idea from practcal standpoint when you are months at sea and it is difficult to remember what your spouse looks like without consulting the picture. Events like this encourage me to maintain my opinion.

I Heart Apple Computer

"If the big four music companies would license Apple their music without the requirement that it be protected with a DRM, we would switch to selling only DRM-free music on our iTunes store".

Clearly Apple Computer is not the problem...

Super Bowl Weekend

So I can not believe that the NFL will not let churches have a Super Bowl Party. Even our church cancelled our party. Bad NFL!

I would boycott it, especially since the All Blacks are not in it this year, but I would hate to miss the commercials.

Speaking of Super Bowl(tm) commercials, Nationwide has one that is already controversial. It features the airy bottomed Britney Spears' soon to be ex Kevin Federline in one of those life comes at you fast ads. You can see a preview here.

So anyway apparently the fast food association is up in arms because they feel the that the ad is demeaning. Personally I think it is hilarious. You have to admire those who can laugh at themselves and apparently Kevin can.

"Ferderline! Fries!" - cracks me up every time.
