Ever since my domain expired, I’ve been looking for a home for my blog that will help draw more attention to my blog. I have found that place and it is zoints.com. It’s perfect because its a social network for forum communities (yeah we all know I’m a post whore) and it will get my blog out there.
I hope you will continue to visit my blog at its new location:

Its been awhile since I’ve posted. My absence started right before my birthday which had me depressed for a week or two. I turned 29 in August so it was a pretty big deal for me…I certainly hope what a friend said is true, that 30 is the new 20. Anyways after that I was pretty tied up with my political simulation (Congressional Simulation) as it was in the election phase which required more attention than usual. At the start of September I then began to upgrade Congressional Simulation to the latest version of vBulletin.
Anyways so I’m back and will be posting more regularly. Expect quite a bit of tv talk as the new season of shows are starting and I’m quite addicted to television (probaly as much as the internet).
I’m off for now, busy being the usual post whore I am.
What better way to start your morning than surfing YouTube. This video here gave me a good laugh.

Anyone with a sense of humor will appreciate this.
“The Colbert Report” is the tongue-in-cheek Comedy Central news show that features the titular humorist spouting off on a variety of political topics in a highly stylized, Bill O’Reilly-esque manner. On Monday’s episode, Colbert praised Wikipedia, the online resource that can be read and edited by anyone with access to a computer, for promoting what he termed “Wikiality” — a sort of pseudo-reality that exists when you make something up and enough people agree with you.
“I’m no fan of reality, and I’m no fan of encyclopedias,” Colbert opined. “I’ve said it before: Who is [Encyclopaedia] Britannica to tell me George Washington had slaves? If I want to say George Washington didn’t have slaves, that’s my right. And now, thanks to Wikipedia, it’s also a fact.”
While he was speaking, Colbert was also typing away on a laptop computer, apparently editing the Wikipedia entry on George Washington to read, “In conclusion, George Washington did not own slaves.”
He also apparently edited the Wiki entry on his own program, replacing a lengthy section on his reference to Oregon as both “the Canada of California” and “Washington’s Mexico” with “Oregon is Idaho’s Portugal” — an example, he said, of Wikiality.
“[On Wikipedia], any user can change any entry,” he said. “Now ‘Oregon is Idaho’s Portugal’ is the opinion I have always held. You can look it up.”
The thing is, Colbert was actually making the changes — or, at least, someone with the username StephenColbert was. The edits are seen on Wikipedia.com here and here, and they were both made around 6:35 p.m. ET, when “The Colbert Report” tapes in New York.
There’s nothing I can’t stand more than a hypocrite…wait make that a religious hypocrite. If you want to get on national television and act all holier than thou, you better mind your p’s and q’s while out in public — especially if your Mel Gibson and everyone is watching. I have to say that I’m disgusted by his behavior and the more I read about it the worse it gets. If there is any justice in the world, he won’t finesse his way out of serving some jail time.
Next time Mel I suggest you ask “what would Jesus do” before you get behind the wheel of a vehicle after getting wasted. As for your upcoming film Apoctalypto I can only hope that it does as well or worse than Waterworld.

NaNoWritMo (National Novel Writing Month) is almost here again. For those of you not familiar with what it is:
NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, is a creative writing project originating in the United States in which each participant attempts to write a fifty-thousand-word novel in a single month. The project was started by Chris Baty in July 1999 with 21 participants, and has been held annually in November since 2000. Despite the name, the project is now international in scope. In 2005, 59,703 people participated and 9,765 were declared winners, having written 50,000 words.

I plan on participating this year and will be posting more details as we near November.
