I love dogs. I love animals in general, but I’m having serious issues over here. These idiots behind me have about 4 dogs in their tiny back yard, and they bark ALL THE TIME. It doesn’t really bother me except at around midnight when I am trying to get to sleep, and about 4 in the morning when I’d like to stay asleep!! They have already gotten a couple of letters from the Homeowners Association, so I don’t think that’s going to work. It won’t be long before I freak out, and start shooting at them, or worse, start shooting other people. Wasn’t there a killer who thought the dogs out back were telling him to kill people? I swear I’m about two days away from being that guy…

They just broke in to the U.S. Open to announce that Tim Russert collapsed and died earlier today.

My daughter made me a great birthday cake!!!

Seriously, this is just crazy.  As my attitude toward American politics grows worse and worse,  New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo decides that he’s going to put a stop to child porn by FORCING 3 of the big ISP’s to block usenet access:

Time Warner Cable said it will cease to offer customers access to any Usenet newsgroups, a decision that will affect customers nationwide. Sprint said it would no longer offer any of the tens of thousands of alt.* Usenet newsgroups. Verizon’s plan is to eliminate some “fairly broad newsgroup areas.”

This really isn’t that big of a deal, because most usenet users find that the service their ISP provides sucks anyway, and they use paid services like Giganews.  But like the above article says, how long will it be before the ignorant government pressures those services to shutdown?

Haha!  My kids and my wife’s sister’s kids.  Guess which one’s are ours!!! 

Obama will most likely be the nominated candidate for the Democrats. Unfortunately, Republicans still have McCain. There is no way in hell that McCain can beat Obama. It just won’t happen. I mean, look at them:

One of them is an Old guy with yellow teeth, and the other is young, hip, probably uses a Mac, and delivers one hell of a speech. It’s been almost eight years since we’ve had a President that could utter a complete sentence without making himself look silly. So, one positive thing that will come out of this is that when gas prices continue to soar, our country runs out of money, and everything has just gone to shit, at least we’ll have a President that can give us a speech and make us feel good about it. Ahhh, the audacity of hope.  I guess this means that we won’t get to bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran.

So, I used to have a midsouth.rr.com email address.  Comcast bought Time Warner, and changed my email address from vralls@midsouth.rr.com to vonralls@comcast.net.  I forgot to update my contact information at godaddy where I registered www.vonralls.com to reflect this change.  When my domain www.vonralls.com expired, I didn’t receive any of the notifications like I usually do because Comcast stopped forwarding the old email to my new address.

Long story short, some dickhead company called greenlight in the UK bought www.vonralls.com when it expired.  God only knows why in the world someone would want to purchase www.vonralls.com for any reason except to try to sell if back to me for profit.  Well, screw them, here we are at www.vonralls.net.  It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day…

Well, I was just about to break a non-posting record when JT comes along and ruins it for me.  Thanks alot. 

Well, here are the rules:

2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.

3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

4) Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

1.  I don’t like to pay with change…like more than sixty cents.

2.  I have to pee.

3.  I don’t like when people read what’s on my screen over my shoulder.  STOP IT!

4.  I don’t like John McCain.

5.  I’ll be 33 next month, and I’m still trying to get a college degree.

6.  My birthday is on Friday 13th.

7.  I like to gamble.  Roullette and Let it Ride.

 I’ll have to update with 7 people to tag…I don’t think I know that many…

Sublime…

I tell you what, people, if Obama comes to Memphis and gives out concert tickets…I’m totally pulling the lever for him! I can’t think of a better way to buy kids votes. Just look how easy it is:

Jason Schechtman, 19, Deerfield, Ill., a student at IU, got his tickets about 8 p.m. after waiting more than three hours. He met folks in line who said they’d left the Clinton rally to wait for tickets.

“I was leaning toward Obama, but this sealed the deal for sure,” he said. “The Obama campaign announced this right as (Bill Clinton) was about to speak, and it brought everyone from over there to over here.”

Wow, it’s like the most perfect way to tell your opponent that they are completely and totally done. Now all he has to do is start giving out free beer. Then McCain won’t stand a chance!

Dude!
