It's the third post of the day and only now am I thinking to wish everyone a happy valentine's day. I even have a nice thing of smarties from my mother sitting on my desk reminding me that Feb. 14 is about chocolate.


I bought Sarah a nice flower and The Muppet Show: Season One

Have a good day and, if you don't have anyone to celebrate with, there's always cybersex <3 . lol

I forgot to mention that most of this blog will probably be extremely geeky because, well, I am.

Ever since movies and tv had become available on Kazaa, I've watched less and less tv on an actual set. Now that torrents are the new "it" Peer2Peer device and most programs are available by the next day if not earlier (within an hour or less in some cases), I have found myself downloading shows. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the fat cats in the industry don't like it, but it does help to think about how easily they usually pass off other technologys. Say, for instance, when they said that the TV would go nowhere? That the VCR was a bad idea? That the VCR was here to stay and that it would not be replaced by some "disc"?

Though I have not yet purchased any tv shows now that some networks have realized the capabilities and are offering them for sale for video iPods, I can see this as the future. Even TorrentSpy's owner and administrator, Justin, has come out saying that their secondary goal is get involved in the distribution of authorized, licensed content such as music, television, and video.

Though I enjoy being able to test out music/TV/movies before I buy them, I do intend to support the creation of media. I know it's a tired argument, but I sincerely believe that I have purchased music by bands I would never have heard of before the era of Napster and tv shows on dvd that I never would have seen since I don't have HBO and wouldn't have blindly spent $30+ on.

technology = the best waste of time ever

I tried blogging a few years back with livejournal and then again last year with blogger, but boredom and a need to write has persuaded me back into it again. I guess.

I'll probably fill this with randomness and, in the least, it will entertain me.
