So Michael Jordan played his last game. Again. Again to the third power. If I see Jordan come back to the game again, I'm going to get Charles Barkley to beat some sense into him.

On E! News Live today, (*which, on a side note, has the worst news anchors and correspondents I've ever seen. Sure, it's a casual setting, but it's way too casual, these people let their dorkiness hang out in full effect. When you see Dave Adelson's bare feet on tv, you know you've got a problem*) they reported that it appears as though Madonna and/or her record label let tracks loose into the download community that have Madonna appearing to say "What the f*** do you think you're doing?" (This blog is rated PG, for Pretty Great! *thumbs up!*) to stop piracy of her new American Life album. Darn! You mean I can't download her new album? *sigh* I guess I'll have to get EVERYTHING ELSE then. No, I understand that they want to have a big sales week and all that for the new release, and their business is being ruined by piracy, but according to the April 13 Boston Sunday Globe, Kazaa and others like it, are nigh impossible to shut down. Maybe I can't get the newest music, but give it a week and I can. Not that I do of course! *snicker* My reasoning is, give us something we can't get by downloading music. A bonus of some kind. I don't think that'll stop downloading, but make an effort with it! Maybe you music executives can salvage your multi-million dollar salaries that way! Honestly, can't everybody just get along?

Right now I'm listening to that song "Friends of P" by The Rentals that I downloaded--er, ahem--"bought." *snicker* Does anybody but me remember this song? What the heck does it mean? Who is a friend of P? Who is P? Why does everybody want to be friends with P? Why does P only have a capital letter for a name, assuming P is a person, and also assuming that P is a name? ...Noooooo! Too many questions for such a simple and catchy song!

Have you seen trailers for the movie House of 1000 Corpses, directed by Rob Zombie? This movie looks like a complete mess. All I can see is that guy screeching "Dr. Satan!!!" and it makes me insane. What I want to know is why a movie studio gave bucks to Rob Zombie to make a movie. He's a musician, not a director. Apparently ALL OF AMERICA felt the same since it only made a measly $3.46 million and placed seventh in its first weekend at the box office. Bwahahaha! I bet some movie studio executive is sitting alone in his office sobbing while all the other execs point and laugh.

This makes me sick, Microsoft once again conquering everything in its path with the story of how it usurped Netscape's dominance in the browser field. Now 95 percent of people use Internet Explorer. NINETY FIVE PERCENT! That's crazy, because in my opinion, IE is the worst browser around. Yeah Bill Gates, I said it. Why everyone doesn't use Mozilla is beyond me, 'cause it is by far the best. Skins, tabbed browsing, pop-up stopper--does IE have any of these things? Nope, not a one. Try Mozilla, it's keen, you'll like it.

The sleaziest thing on television in my opinion is The Maury Povich show. Yup, that's right, it's the downfall of humanity as we know it. All Maury shows can, with a few exceptions, be categorized into four types: "I've Got A Secret," "Am I a Man or a Woman?." "I'm Not the Father of Your Baby!," or "I'm an Overweight Kid." It's so exploitative I can't believe it. The worst part is, I think Maury thinks that he's actually doing a service to these people by having them take paternity tests or be showcased on the air as some kind of medical oddity. It's sick! Sick I tell you!

...but yeah, I still watch it...

Here's some things I was thinking about when listening to the radio:

Listening to this partially classic rock radio station I wondered, "Hey, since classic rock from the 60s and 70s is so popular, 20 years from now, will music from the 80s and 90s be considered classic rock?" For some reason, I just can't see Limp Bizkit--excuse me, limpbizkit--as "classic." But maybe that's just me.

*As a side note, have you seen this show on VH1 called I Love the 80s? They get these "celebrities" to comment on things from their childhood. But man, what jobbers. These people have enough time to sit around and reminisce about Transformers and Pac-Man? I mean, I do, but these people are supposed to be "celebrities," don't they have better things to do, like be kind of sort of famous? Get a better agent!*

I am what was once deemed a "closet" Led Zeppelin fan. I don't have any of their music, but every time they come on the radio I rock out to them. I've only just "come out" after years of hiding in fear.

A contest was being sponsored on this same station where you could win $1000 by being the 50th caller nationwide. Nationwide?! That's like beating the 285 million people in the United States! For a measly $1000? I mean, that's some serious coin, but when you consider the odds, it seems like the cash prize should be much higher. But maybe that's just me.
