Hey peeps - I was all ready and raring to go blog wise yesterday, but when checking my readership, an ISP company that was close to my exes address showed up. Too close. Put me off writing for the evening, and also all computering actually. Was thinking, would I stop this because of fear of real life consequences. We all know one of the great things about the net is anonymity, and whether 'real life' readers would cramp my style - I mean, it isn't as if I couldn't do this in Word away from the internet and get as many readers LOL. Will see how things go I think - I love just being able to link to all the stories I am interested in which wouldn't happen if I took this off the net...
Also yesterday, was looking at google ad links that increase your readership. Not at the begging stage with that yet LOL. Read me read me spamming across the world - well, not to slander the companies, I am sure everything is above board, but my own conscience would see it as spamming LOL. One thing I think my conscience could deal with is to add a few keywords to the site description :)
That Virgin Mary piece of ten year old toast sold on eBay - for $28,000. An internet casino bought it and it will go on a world tour before being resold for charity LOL.
Another embed story of the Fallujah battle, again going beyond the dry DOD press releases and making these marines real people, at least in my mind. As the Marines and Brits go into another battle south of Baghdad - can we take the Mission Accomplished banner down now Mr Prez? Or is this the start of another war? Watching the coverage of the current battles in urban areas, the Marines fighting in rubble etc, makes me think of the European battles in WW2, especially on the post D-Day Western Front... Band of Brothers if you will.
Oh, and saw this one on the news this evening - about a 13 year old girl getting shot by Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip. Not wanting to comment on the actual shooting or the actual court case or the actual fact that they knew it was a kid they were shooting, as in the amount of ammunition they went through - it was like a Rambo movie or something, grrr. And ever notice how the Israeli public affairs people seem to be young, attractive, butter wouldn't melt in their mouths? The Israeli soldier, female, blonde, on defending the Army's actions, is dateable on my rankings LOL...
LOL on this one - I wasn't going to mention it, but it got on the TV news here, and in both the BBC and Guardian websites, so here's the Kiwi Korner for the day - dolphins save life savers training north of Auckland from a shark :) everybody, awwwwwwwwww LOL. Good change from the woman breastfeeding a dog from last week LOL.
This story piqued my reading interest - mariachis in Los Angeles aren't being hired as much as they used to be - thought of El Mariachi in the movies LOL. Need to see Desperado again, gooooooood brainless movie, AND it has Salma Hayek in it :) Oh, you mean mariachi musicians are real and not a Hollywood invention LOL :)
This article is good as well - saying how the generation who grew up during the Cultural Revolution in China are soooooo different to the 20 somethings now. That the generation gap is huge basically - is a good read :)
Later peeps
Pauly
