Finally! My weblogs.us account is completely set up (not that that's someone elses fault; it's been up for a while, but I was too lazy to make it work) and I am MOVING. Finally. I am tired of blogger.

BWAH! MY NEW SITE!

Everyone, my comments and trackbacks are down. It sucks, I know. I'm blaming it on haloscan for the moment, cause I couldn't find anything that I did that would make it explode. But explode it did, and I'm hoping it'll be back up sometime soon.

Well, NOW I get some content... After four days... And I just made a "I have no content" post. Go figure.

But anyway.

See my new button on the side? **points** The one with the book. Kinda brownish in color.... Yeah, that one.

Well, click it. Donate books. Here's your chance to actually support the troops, instead of just making empty claims that "I support the troops." Well, that's all well and good, but if you don't act on it, it doesn't really make that much difference. The troops don't know you support them.

So actually do something this time. Send them paperback books that you know you won't read again. They're not doing any good just sitting on your shelf.

Please. Actually support the troops.

By the way, I don't get anything out of this. I'm not affiliated, or signed up to get money. I just did a simple link-to-the-page-with-a-button link. Simply because I felt like I should. If you have a blog, do it too. Here's the code.

I figured I'd better post something. I thought and thought and thought about what I would write about. Well, actually, I thought for about 30 seconds then decided to do one of these. But anyway.

I just thought I'd do a bit of pointless posting, just so you have something to read and so that I can say, "Hey! I posted!" So there you go.

Baldilocks put two Cox and Forkum comics together... and it's pretty hilarious. Go now.

So... I've been playing with Acid Express a lot lately... And I've made four more songs (Yes, four. I *know* I spent three days on the first one, but I've gotten better).

Accidental Relaxation
Fiddlywinks (my favorite so far)
And then I've made Afrikka and Anti-Disco Disco Reprise, but I don't have enough space to upload those. I know, I'm pathetic. But I'm not even going to attempt to find a way unless someone comments on one of the three I've given you.

After spending about three days (What? It's Acid Express, I had to find all the loops myself!) making a "song," I finished. It's not anywhere near as good as Crunchy Frog Blues, but I'm telling myself that I can actually do something good if I ever get acid regular (which I hope to do). So shhh, don't tell me I'm a talentless hack, I'm not supposed to know.

Anyway, my "music" is here-I would give it to you in all sorts of formats, but I don't have much hosting space. It's called "Anti-Disco Disco," and it's about 1.1 megabyte (mb).

NOTE: I don't know if it's just me or what, but real player has some problems with playing things off the internet, so if real is your default, either switch it to something else (like windows media player) or download it manually (by right-clicking then saying "save target as") and then playing it. Stupid Real Player.

Well, I decided to finally add Susie to my recommended list.... (speaking of which, susie, you gotta at lest gimme a "Blogs I have no intention in Hell of EVER reading but the Blogger offered to exchange links and I didnt want to say that his blog actually made me want to projectile vomit, so what could I do but add it to this section on my blogroll" link.) but I had a bit of trouble. Namely, I opened blogger, typed in my email address instead of my username when trying to log in, then stared at a blank post for about a minute, trying to figure out what I was doing there, when I remembered "oh! I'm supposed to be editing the *template!*" Then moved on to the template and entered the link. If you're trying to find a point to the above, just stop. It has no point. I just figured you ought to know what a dolt I am in the morning.

On a different note, I downloaded Acid Express, and I'm hoping my sucky-ness is from lack of sounds, rather than lack of talent. All the good sounds cost money, which.... well, it's not exactly coming out of my ears. I have managed to do a *little,* though, and I'm thinking I may get Acid 4.0 regular at some point. Maybe.

P.S. I may, after a while, post my pathetic creations. But only if after two weeks they don't make me want to rip off my ears. Which generally happens when I make music.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

The closest book... well, it took me a while to find. I had to search in one of the desk drawers. Needless to say, the desk is a lot more littered with papers and cd cases than books. But I eventually found one, and it was the "Hoyle's Rules Of Games, Second Revised Edition." Yeah, I know, I'm pathetic. But anyway, page 23 consisted of instructions for bridge (which, incedentally, I don't know how to play), and the fifth sentance is as follows:

"If appropriate values are held, a leap to game is in order, since a jump raise is not forcing."

I have no idea what it means, but in accordance with the challenge, I had to post it.

GAZA CITY (AFP) - Hamas leader Abdelaziz Rantissi was assassinated in an Israeli air strike on his car in Gaza City, sparking mass protests by Palestinians who vowed to avenge his death in the heart of the Jewish state

So.... what are they going to do, exactly?

We will have revenge on the evil zionist jooos! We will, in response to the killing of our leader, kill even more of our members.

What's wrong with this picture?

So. I'm supposed to explain the 9/11 commission or make suggestions for improving the 9/11 commission hearings' ratings. Hm. I'll take number two.



10.Insert a bit of programming in the signal that prevents the tv from changing the channel once you tune in.

9.Get Michael Moore to report the ratings.

8.Offer 30-minute cliff-note type tv news shows right after the sessions. With lots of hot anchors. These may not increase the ratings directly, but, in theory, people will be distracted enough by the anchors that they'll need to watch the actual sessions anyway.

7.Interrupt it every three minutes from humorous excerpts from Frank J's blog.

6.Two words: Jessica Simpson.

5.Kill anyone who doesn't watch it. Oh, wait... that's fascism.... Never mind. ^_^'

4.Put more sane people on the commission.

3.Offer free Applebees Gift Cards as a prize to anyone who can watch an entire session.

2.Shoot anyone who makes an answer over a minute long. This could be a valuable tool for getting rid of pesky, long-winded people and the other 10% of the commission.

1.Oh, f*** the ratings. Just shut up already!

Yes, I know my quote of the SRAOT is from a liberal president, and I'm none too proud of it. I'm not particularly fond of Kennedy, but, nevertheless, the quote (Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.) is a pretty good one. Kinda like the time I used a hitler quote. Hey, I use offensive quoters sometimes. Get over it.

Edit: Besides. I thought it described the liberal philosophy quite nicely.

Although President Bush says his economic policies are helping the middle-class, yesterday’s Middle-Class Misery Index report and an accompanying analysis of how much George Bush is costing a typical family in each state show that middle-class Americans are having a harder time than ever making ends meet.

This is an excerpt from John F***ing Flip-Flop Waffles Kerry's website. I don't know about you, but every time Kerry says something, I think the "misery index" goes up a couple points. Is Kerry actually suggesting that he knows us better than we know ourselves?

Why yes. Yes he is. That, more or less, is the basic liberal policy: "if we can convince them that they're miserable, then they'll vote for us." Sure, you could look at Flip-Flop's "misery index," or you could just say to yourself: "am I miserable? hmmm." Vote based on how your life is, not how some politician who says f*** a lot says your life is. Then we'll see who wins.
