Top al Qaeda VIP captured
As predicted before. There were several news articles saying that the Bush administration was pushing Pakistan to capture either Osama or another al-Qaeda VIP in or around the DNC in boston, to draw off attention.

Genocide
Weekend plans…
Sunday is kingdom war practice, and I do want to go this time. I want to get my new chest plate done before hand. So Saturday may be a quick trip to Sea World in the morning, and spend the rest of the day cleaning out the bird cages and working on armor.
However blowing it all off to go fishing would be very nice.
Well, the U.S., as is usual, is finally calling what’s going on in the Sudan genocide, and is slowly gearing up the U.N. to condemn it. Like that’s going to do anything in the short term, or save lives. The reports from there are terrifying, people getting slaughtered, women and children raped while the Arab women sing in support if it while it happens. Very sad situation if you ask me, to bad Bush didn’t do any “pre-emptive” measures there…
*sigh*

Rain... go fig.
No practice last night because of rain, so it’s been rescheduled for Thursday. At least it gives me time to make a new gorget, because I am forsaking my coif now. I really really like my new helmet. The only problem is that it’s so nice, I need the rest of my armor to be nice to go with it. God I’m so vain at times.
Watched The Daily show with Jon Stewart at the DNC last night, and rolled around laughing. I can’t wait to see it tonight.
Today is another virus day. My Doom O. This was fluttering about on Friday and Monday, but people are annoying about it today. They all call in and want to read me the email. After about two words, I repeat it back to them from memory. Then they want to blame me because “Well, it came from you, so of course I opened the attachment”. *sigh* Morons. Ok, maybe not morons, just hiding under a rock because it’s been in the news, and in there have been emails sent warning about this issue.
Ugh, enough for now. More news as it happens.

Why cheesecake?
When I open my blog, up at the top is the annoying google ad, that is supposedly targeted at the blog's content to sell stuff. It wants to sell me cheesecake. Why cheesecake? Now mind you I love cheesecake (especially vanilla bean cheesecake, with lots of real whip cream), but what possesses google to advertise cheesecake on my blog? Are you getting the same thing? Let me know, I am curious!
Amazon.com: Books: The Life of Mohammed by George Bush
Amazon.com: Books: The Life of Mohammed -- Yet another proof God exists, and knows the future! How funny!
MY WAR - Fear And Loathing In Iraq
MY WAR - Fear And Loathing In Iraq This is a great war blog from Iraq. Gives some good perspective.
We'll Rant and we'll roar...
Well, the DNC is in full spring, and boy I am so excited----- NOT!
Rant alert!
I wish my party would be a little more exciting. Or make a platform that was a little more what I want to see, but I think that would be difficult. Pro – Choice, Pro-Gun, Pro-Environment, Anti-oil, Pro-gay marriage (geeze man, can’t government just leave these folks alone?), Pro- space exploration, Pro-stem cell research, Pro-genetic mods (but with careful regulation on environmental effects), Pro-corporate regulation, Pro-Political Funding reform, Anti – whaling, Anti – Bush, pro-fiscal responsibility, pro- getting our troops home from Iraq, etc…
And well the only thing I see from the democrats these days is the Anti – Bush part, for certain. I swear, I like some of the republican ideals, like some of what John McCain has to say, but my God, the Bush white house is crazy! *sigh* I think I am more anti-neo conservative the anti Republican. If you look at it in a certain light, Bush is the most Liberal president we have had in quite some time. Here is the definition of Conservatism out of Webster’s dictionary:
a : a disposition in politics to preserve what is established b : a political philosophy based on tradition and social stability, stressing established institutions, and preferring gradual development to abrupt change
So, what part of this does Bush Jr do? Pre-emptive military strikes are certainly not a conservative way of thinking, containment is. The patriot act is certainly not “preserving” our rights as citizens. He wants to change Social Security, a huge established institution. Environmental protection has been a stressed since Nixon, (a Republican by the way) and he has done more to dismantle environmental regulation then any president this century! Ok, ok… deceiving the public is certainly a well established institution, so in that way, I’ll give him points. So is being owned by corporate interests.
Bush – Right wing Liberal…
Enough of ranting…
I am all ready for practice tonight. I got my new helmet all padded up, and took the chain off, and it is way spiff. It’s so light I am not going to know what to do with myself! And as soon as I get the scale done, I am going to have quite the spiff harness. I hope I can get it done by the next event. That and get in shape to kick some tail.
Well, back to work for me…

Need me some links
Hey, I am going to see if I can put some blog links on my side bar here. If you read me, and you would like to be posted, please leave your addy in the comments section ------ -----------------------------------------------------V-here-V.
And another weekend bites the dust.
Go see the Bourne Supremacy. You’ll like it. It is even better then the first movie.
Well, the wheel spins round, and I’m interested in astrology again. Go fig.
Got the house cleaned this weekend (well
That’s about at really. More as it happens.

Its Friday!
It’s Friday! Yes it’s Friday!
Hootie hoo!!!!!
And it’s again too busy here at work to be Friday. People need to not worry so much on Friday and leave it till Monday!
But it’s all good. Soon I will be out of here and into the arms of my lady love. Tonight, I think we will go see the Bourne Supremacy. I loved the Bourne Identity, and I have high hopes for this one as well. As far as this weekend is concerned, we are going to do some house cleanup, and I think we are going to check out the Sanford flea market again. The Sanford flea market is interesting, but every time we go, we kind of haphazardly meander, which is very much against my shopping grain. This time, Phoenix suggested we do a systematic search of the place, covering every single spot. Whoo hoo! Says I!
As far as the house clean up is concerned, I am hoping to find more interesting things to sell on ebay for the great Hawaii trip, and finish my scale armor and pad my helmet. Not to mention clearing up the slow shower drain problem, mop the floors, and maybe even clean out my closet.
Or a nice mid day nap might be in order too.
Sunday we have gotten an invite to go to the Dolphin Hotel at Disney for drinks. I like that idea too!!!

Walking in the moonlight
Last night, after putting the birds to bed, Phoenix and I went out to Lake Eola and walked arm in arm around the lake. Of all the cities I have lived in, I must admit that Orlando’s downtown area is really one of the best. Its clean, there are a lot of cool clubs, restaurants and shops to go in, and the town is really fairly pretty. Well, as I said, we walked around the lake arm in arm and taking pictures along the way of the fountain, the swans, and the impromptu drum session that was going on in one corner of the park. I hope to post them tonight. I like Orlando. I really do. The only part I don’t like is all the pan handlers in town, but it is an American city, that is to be expected.
It was good to be with Phoenix and see her smile. There are few things that make me happy in this world, and that is one of them. We walked around town a bit and stopped by the Public Library, where they have a light sculpture where you can hit buttons and make the lights light up and musical tones ring. If you hit the right combination, the whole thing freaks out and flashes and sings and makes quite a spectacle. I love it. So did Phoenix, smiling like a little girl and clapping when it happens. It is funny how such simple little things can make you happy. Watching her experience something new (like that), when her eyes light up and she smiles, it almost makes me cry with joy.
The birds are doing fine. Not much to say about them really. Zora has taken a taste for milk and keeps trying to hijack it from my morning cereal (at the same time Addicus tries to grab the cereal itself). Everyone is getting very talkative to each other, but the actual verbalization of human words is way outnumbered by chirps and whistles and cell phone impersonations. Oh yea, I forgot. Addicus has taken to humping your hand… figures, the one we don’t want to breed is the most randy.

Paranoia...
Ok, who is looking at my blog from National Louis? Sometime close to midnight last night went through NL’s Citrix server and looked at my blog through it. Likely my bet is someone did it from work, but why go through Citrix? Someone is making me paranoid!
