Yaaay internet issues are fixed, I think

Aiight I got two blogs to finish on that since I'm just learning how to use el Netgearo right here (news at 7:30) but the short version, I accidentally stepped on my 5 year old belkin wireless adapter the other night and basically put it out of it's "just toss me in the fridge for a minute and I'll be right as rain boss" misery, okay fine it was in the freezer and it was for more like 15-20 minutes. I've known for 2 years now that I needed to replace that wireless adapter, it was a G(ie 802.11 a/b/g) and when I bought it basically it was good enough to grab the signal from the other side of the house. Which was fine with me I wasn't the rocket man but I was on the net, since after moving the router when from in my room(and thus giving me constantly on Rocket Speed, due to the ethernet cable) to having sometimes spotty, grr plug and unplug okay it's settled in now signal with the adapter.



Obviously as I am posting ^ this that issue is resolved, those who worked well will get a gold star *, those who were damn near useless will get a "shot in the pins, babe" everybody have a great wednsday

A quick thank you

To whomeva was reading my Optometrist blog, I had kind of forgotten about it. When I say I write blogs to get the clutter out of my head I mean it, I usually forget all about them it was a thought bothering me, that either touched my heart at the time or was the reaction to some stimulus I bumped into out in the real world. So as those thoughts broil and stew ideas form, and not droplets no, my head wouldn't be cluttered if they were just droplets streams form going on their own journeys and ending in deltas of either understanding or imagination. But just like most regular dreams once had usually they vanish never to be experienced again.

With my blogs UNLESS you respond or comment I kind of forget about them and just leave them there in the ether yes if you are new visitor they are new to you, but for me it's an old thought something that was precious when I had to express it but is not a part of the ever growing tapestry that is my digital presence. Like I said my name is my address so if you see ALL of the various things I have put out on the net you will see a picture painted it is fragmented, choatic, fast paced and stoic but it is also entirely me.  And when I see that others enjoy my work agree disagree comment or read I am proud because obviously it is something that drew your attention. I don't do it for praise, I have always admitted that I probably will never win a popularity contest to me though knowing someone appreciated the work that was created by the various inspirations life gives me is the ultimate joy. I'm a bit narcissistic when it comes to what I put out on the internet no not in its spelling but in it's message and its tenor. If I am expressing a vision that I wish people to see I really do try to make it as crystal clear as possible. And rereading that blog reminded me that it's a good thing, it also made me think maybe I need to loosen up a bit perhaps be more willing to put an entry out there and come back later to refine it, so I may be making use of the draft feature more often. Or even going back to old blogs and revisiting the topics with a new understanding or maybe a few more months to let it stew.

As they say hindsight is 20/20 and the further away you get from something USUALLY the more objective you can be.  So again you have my deepest appreciation for bringing that blog back up into my consciousness. For a blog I don't promote the amount of hits I have gotten and the number of people who have come through is amazing to me. Whether its the titles that I choose and it just so happens to pop up in your search request, or the fact that you want to see what else this loudmouth of mine has to say on my own domain. Keep on coming through I appreciate the visits and for those few who have spoke thanks for the feedback keep it coming, and for the rest join the fun

Afternoon malaise

I'm running a scan on 1 pc(which is gonna take all day, literally) and another I am doing some trial and error on to see exactly how deeps it's problems are and what I may have to recommend is the routes to fix them. welcome to all who have tripped through today as always you're welcome to leave comments, subscribe, and even contact me per le contact page(I'm too lazy to look up the actual french so yes I am doing a bad Pepe le pew right there). I hope all are having a good day. If you have any questions about some of the various crap I may be doing at the time(trust me I am captain road dog if it's interesting I'll probably head there with you, which means I have a ton of stories just never know which ones to type out at the time), I do a lot better with responding to folks then I do just rambling on, because if you have read a post or two once this stone gets rolling Look out below cause I'm heading to the ocean floor. Now of course I have mentioned on OTHER peoples blogs(yes if I read your blog and I think the topic is interesting I will respond to your blog, see my blog roll, can you smell it's eccentricity yup pure me right there I am a varied person) that the whole "Blog month Challenge" thingy isn't my bag it's just not.

I mean part of it is my random nature, probably part of the reason I love Deadpool and Spiderman so much is because like me their are so random, will talk a mile a minute(we do happen to get things done) but it's not really scripted or along a timeline. So to tell me YOU HAVE TO BLOG EVERYDAY, like thou art the voice of god man I would type some crap out and just not post it BECAUSE you wanted me to daily. Yes it's a little juvenile but part(s) of me do have a rather youthful nature. I never gave that up it's part of what makes me a great friend I have the Optimism of one 20 years my junior.

By the way I ORDERED Deadpool Corps Prelude and trade 1, grr it's hard cover and I prefer soft but meh I'll get to read the "Merc with the mouth's" advetures with his multiversal incarnations. It's been a while since I bought a comic because my tail is always busy. So PART of my weekend plans were done, gotta finish those blogs still but I did do a few blogs so see content production is humming along.

I think I will look at see if RED came out recently, the movie with the old CIA agents with targets on their heads, I love pretty much all the actors in the cast so I will sit through it. Plus it's based on a comic, I know I didn't go see predators or Expendables but that wasn't my fault that was schedule related. I am planning to pic up predators on DVD though A-team, The losers and probably Legion too. Like I said BUSY, but in a few weeks BLACK OPS hits shelves and I have my preorder and some of you little newbs are going down, can we say "Shots to the Face" yes boys and girls yes we can. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA yes that was me doing an #EVL laugh and yes I am going to be my evil self in a FPS, you do not play FPS' for the story my friends no it's to hear grown men and little children complain about your newbishness for lighting their HEINES on fire(and I don't mean the imported beer in the green bottle either) "I love the smell of C4 in the morning!"(and the afternoon, and evening, and midnight and dawn *holds back evil laugh*mu *cough cough* almost escaped).

Okay back to work this was just a quickie to update what I was doing because I hadn't posted yet today, maybe I should dash off and get me some subway or something too(what I might still goof off and, are you reading this blog right now instead of doing YOUR job, right thought so, so as you were)

This one hurt

Now I may not have had to physically watch the game unfold the way it did but following it as I did on the 3 websites: I started on my old faithful cbssports , then they started acting up so I went to foxsports , but for some odd strange reason they had this really tiny game tracker box for me to try to watch the game on so I decided after dumping them like waaaay back in 04 because well back in 04 NFL.com's game tracker sucked, the updates were slow, the stats were always off, and all those ads popping up but NFL was where I was finally able to watch the game deteriorate in peace. If you are wonder yes I know ESPN is SUPPOSEDLY the world leader in sports but usually their java is the crappiest, the guys they have doing the updates can't keep up and somehow someway the Game tracker always seems to go on the fritz. Out of the Major sports websites for the longest time CBS was the best, yes every once in a while they would have a hiccup or two but it wasn't for the whole game.

Back to the game, the entire reason we shipped Donovan Mcnabb off was because SUPPOSEDLY he couldn't hit the little 5 yard dinky passes, couldn't handle the game with the lead, and couldn't get the ball to our (at the time lousy, sub par, piece of crap) receivers. Now yes he kinda went back in time with washington those guys have potential but as Jason Campbell showed they don't really have the drive yet, in watching highlights of redskins games I see plenty of plays where the wide receiver just didn't make the decision that would have helped him catch the ball, diving from 5 yards out when the ball is still in the air and if you run another two steps you could probably catch it over your shoulder or at your knee. Dropped passes galore(I know that was damn Deja Vu didn't he just leave that in philly) but hey "We had the future" and the future was Kevin Kolb. There was a problem with the future though in preseason he couldn't find the end zone now I don't know about you but for a pass happy team that is a BIG CONCERN. And I made the preseason prediction that "Mike vick will be phillies starting QB by game 6" I figured we'd be around 500 and at 4-3 we are so that held up. We played okay and our talent showed up on offense we had a good running game the first few(which with andy reid is a blessing because he refuses to run the ball), our two all star caliber wide recievers were lighting up the scoreboard.

Thing is Kolb didn't hold up in game 1 by half time he was out with a concussion. Hey nobody wants a guy to get injured especially if the guy starts for your favorite team. I may have said he would get benched but I expected it to be due to lack of performance not injury, so in walks Mike Vick he plays well the second half, leads us to victory in the next two games and in the 3rd game of the "Mike Vick era" he goes down to injury. Aw man come on, okay so Kolb plays out the second half doesn't stink up the joint just also doesn't put a lot of points on the board. It's okay the next week he does fantastic we win all is right with the world, then the week after that he plays great again, now we lose another player to injury but the team pulls together and plays well.

Then we have today. Man I'm sorry but you cannot win the game by getting into your opponents red zone constantly and kicking field goals, I believe we were 1/4 in the red zone today and I'm sorry but that's on the coach and the QB not only that but Kolb throws 2 interceptions AND gives up a fumble. My problem to this point with Kolb had been he had more INT's than TD's on the books he appeared to be changing that, this 2 int day scraps that thought process. It seems to me if the SPECTER of Kevin Kolb being The Philadelphia Eagles starting QB is brought up it's like his mind fries and he forgets how to play football. He stares down his WR, he rushes throws, he takes sacks instead of throwing the ball away. Today he threw two picks(one that was taken back for a touchdown at the end of the game so while we needed the score it was kind of prayer time anyway with :22 seconds left), and dropped a fumble on the opponents 3 yard line.

Then to allow 27 straight points to be scored on your team by never taking more than 35 seconds off the game clock per possession because you keep going 3 and out. I'm sorry as the QB your job is game management and if we need a score you need to scan the field quickly and get CHUNKS in critical situations. I mean hell he ran for a 15 yard gain one time then seemed to forget with the game on the line that he had legs. Yes he was one weapon short, but he had weapons hell as he was getting the ball out and finding people you could see that. But the most telling stat is that before the titans started scoring heavily he had about 226 yards, he ended with like 230~ish. Where as the other QB had 91 yards through the air for most of the game and ended with 260~. And no that guy isn't some Super bowl winning Qb, his coach may love him but I suspect he and his coach will be out of a job next year. We should not have lost this game we had them beat, we had them under control we should have been cruising through the finish line.

But this Game should prove some rather pertinent points while Kolb has potential he is either NOT starter material or else he is not ready to start now. He is far from a franchise QB at this juncture, as for Mike Vick he did his time, if you can't forgive him than you know what thats your issue not his. People make mistakes all you can hope is that they really do learn their lessons, but you cannot ask them to repay them over and over until YOU are satisfied, because lets be real that satisfaction will never come. He was a franchise QB before he went to prison, he reminds me of Randal Cunningham Rocket arm quick legs run first if there ain nobody open. Though as of late he runs to buy time for someone to get open.  So it seems spending a year with Donovan helped.

I know some may come in here screaming about Dog Killer, and animal, how kolb is better, you are welcome to your opinion, you are welcome to leave your opinion here, you get rowdy and you will be shown the door

Hmmm seems blogger does not accept mms, guess I'll have to e-mail photos and the like to it in the future. Yes I am just doing this to see if and how this would work for future blogging. I know how often I tend to be in jacked up places this will allow me to empty my mind of cluttering thoughts, comeback, and edit them later.

I just hope this one works or else I did something craptastically wrong. Oh and I need to reevaluate my stock holdings that one is Waaaaay overdue


Saturday October 23 2010

It's saturday sometimes a light day sometimes a long day for me. It's also usually the day I try to clean things up in my digital domains. I have some replies that need to be addressed on multiply(you think I had a long hiatus on here I think the last thing I posted there was about The last Airbender), I have some blogs I started on here this week that are still in the draft phase that need to be finished, one about Googling myself and the rather wacky twists and turns I got in the response comical. I plan to go out and get the Deadpool corps trade at some point today, yes I still buy comics, no I don't do reviews on them and yes in my advanced years I hate buying issue by issue so I go get the trades that way I can read it in huge bunches. Now my thoughts on Deadpool are two fold I loved the Ryan Reynolds portrayed Wade Wilson in X-men Origins: Wolverine but hated the "deadpool" character that they showed in the final fight because well that wasn't the deadpool I know(yes thus the insult of not capitalizing his name). As a matter of fact my full feelings about that dead pool(of fecal matter) can be see here(I'm posting the link I didn't make it but I completely agree with it. Okay I will post the link if itsjustsomerandomguy on youtube sends me the link to the vid, if you love comics his parody vids are awesome).

Supposedly I am working today dropping off pc's (wtf yaaay me one of these days grrr) and who knows what else, late in the day which means a late day, caddy acting up so I'll still be doing my do, just waiting forever and a day(jeez I may have to do another expletive filled rant on twitter, remember the other day when it popped up on the side of my stream yea thats why somedays ME wants to explode on the keys, and it's not cause I'm watching porno ;) ). Aaaah I wonder if any good movies came out lately, wouldn't mind doing a decent review I guess I could review my iron man 2 release purchase. As my review showed I loved the movie, I may go more in depth on the DVD since A) with the special features I have more of an idea of the mindset behind making the movie, and B) I have had a chance to rewatch it like 4 or 5(okay fine like every weekend since I got it okay, my cousin has my actual iron man dvd so I can't do the full awesomeness marvel marathon weekend, now with more marvel. What I told yall I have issues) times thus maybe pick it apart a little more as well as get a better appreciation for how much detail and respect they paid to the original character and storyline while they adjusted it for modern day.

Past that hmm dunno I guess I would see what the day holds, I guess I could do that blog about why I follow what blogs I follow, the people I follow on twitter and the youtube channels I follow. Which I ain been on youtube as much without the laptop again since I was a kid I kind of either enjoyed my movie viewing sitting back kinda of tilted up(like in a theater chair) or else laying flat on my stomach. My desk chair and me ain vibing right now, thats okay I'll either get a new chair or a new laptop soon.

So let me know what ya thinking, drop me a line, tell me you think I'm insane and need help no problems with any of those Just don't come in here stinking up the joint with a bunch of unnecessary links to hawk crappy products. You can still randomly reply to my blogs I just added disqus so it would be easier for me to track the responses without me having to moderate every last comment

See my old belkin is really starting to...

Morning, this ill be an extreme rarity. Not me blogging but me blogging in the Early hours of the morning you know post sunrise. Pre sunrise I'm always up any way so thats why you see so many things from me in my various digital destinations, but post sun rise yeah I'm usually sleep as all hell. I mean to write a blog last night(actually I owe myself like two so I need to get cracking) about you know why I follow a blog or somebodies tweets. I will do that at some point in time today, as USA says Character Approved yes I'm a character and I follow characters I call them the #rogues because basically we're all wild and are known to say or post whatever. It's for grown folks now my pimpins so if you gonna start that virgin ears crap keep it moving we ain got time for that.

Anyway, digression number one right there, the belkin I am referring to is my belkin wireless ethernet adapter. It is really showing it's age I mean it's like 5 years old I bought it way back in like 05 after a move where our PC was no longer next to the cable modem and wasn't close enough to get a wire run to it. It's the wireless G edition so it's kinda short on range anyway which is another reason why I'm a little toasty but not sitting here flippin furniture, basically if I didn't get my money's worth on this thing after five years man something is wrong with me. 5 years worth of daily surfing(or almost daily surfing I have been in different venues over the years with this desktop and sometimes I did have a wire) this thing has probably averaged out to have actually cost me like ~$1 which I say is perfect. It out lasted my $450 laptop from a company I will not name as not to blast them(but that lasted less then 2 full years), it's out lasted who knows how many pairs of glasses, a lot of my clothes, hasn't out lasted the timbs though what can I say timberland makes some good boots.

And to my folk out there really that is how you should look at any purchase, check how long you have or plan to have it versus how much it costs you. If it's not something long term that you can see not replacing for a couple of years you might want to rethink the purchase if it's a vanity item. I mean if you got "money like toilet paper" fine be my guest, but if that "toilet paper dough" status is only temporary you might want to save more of your extra dough for a rainy day than trying to floss and impress folks who are gonna be broke like you in the not to distant future trying to show out.

Just my two cents because what do you know this is the space for my two cents. I hope everyone's day is on and poppin. If ya see my on twitter holla at ya boy, I'll get back as soon as I see it, like, love, hate, participate I don't care just do you baby.
