It rocks. Best web browser out there in my opinion. Anyways, I decided to check out Mozilla Thunderbird and it turns out to be an extreamly usefull program. It's an email program, similar to Microsoft Outlook, but it is ten times better. I've never used an email program before, but they are actually much more convinient considering you don't have to log into your email host over and over again. Configuring my gmail to the program wasn't very hard at all, but it did take a little tweaking. You can google your ISP/email provider and see what you have to do to get it to work with Thunderbird. The thing I love about this program the most is the cool RSS feed feature. Now I can get updates and news from my favorate websites and blogs without ever having to go on my internet browser at all! It's really a neat little program. &lt;a href="http://www.mozilla.com"&gt;check it out &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, so today I was reading Gamespots coverage of the Senate Game hearing.  (using the cool thunderbird rss feature heh heh). This stuff makes me sick. These politicians don't know what the hell they are talking about. All it is is free publicity for them.  Why don't they pick  on ....oh,  I don't know...THIS JOKE OF A WAR IN IRAQ.  jeeeze.... I HATE JACK  THOMPSON!!!  As far as I am conserned he is one of the biggest ass holes in America. What kind of crazy lunatic  makes  money using  an 18 year old cop killer? sick man.  Next thing you know every time some serial killer gets caught  they are going to say ,  "Grand Theft Auto made me do it!!". Then where will  we be!? Here are some quotes from that  butthole:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" class="sqq"  &gt;“What we're saying is that Devin Moore was, in effect, trained to do what he did. He was given a murder simulator”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;"  &gt;"You just watch. There is going to be a Columbine-times-10 incident, and everyone will finally get it. Either that, or some video gamer is going to go Columbine at some video game exec's expense or at E3, and then the industry will begin to realize that there is no place to hide, that it has trained a nation of Manchurian Children"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;font-family:arial;" &gt;Sims 2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;, the latest version of the Sims video game franchise...contains, according to video game news sites, full frontal nudity, including nipples, penises, labia, and pubic hair."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You know, there are sociopaths everywhere. Some of them are in government, some of them are at TakeTwo. In fact, we got a bunch of sociopaths in Edinburgh, Scotland, sittin' around in kilts sippin' their single malt whiskey spreading racial, hurtful stereotypes in this country."(yes he ACTUALLY said this)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"The Bible doesn't promote killing innocent people, Grand Theft Auto does. Islam does. Islam promotes the killing of innocent people. The Quran requires the infidel, whether Jew or Christian, to be killed. ... That's a core essence of the religion." (how come this guy hasn't been assasinated yet?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;"California Civil Code Section 3495 enables and authorizes each and every law enforcement officer to walk into any video game store, without a court order, to seize and destroy each and every copy of 25 to Life." (is he really this stupid or does he just have a mental problem?)&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What the Japanese are doing to our kids is insensitive and racist. The Japanese have for a very long time dumped pornography into this country in a fashion they would not tolerate in their own country. It is another version of Pearl Harbor."(does he actually beleve the shit comming out of his mouth?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thers' plenty more. Goto wikipedia if you want to see them.

I think it's about time I actually put this thing to good use.  I spent about 45 mins making a layout for this. It's sort of lame but i didn't feel like spending too much time on it.  I've decided that this is going to be a blog about my many hobbys. I'm going to review music, games, software and mabey a movie here and there. I made a playlist of 10 really good songs. Take the time to listen to them, they are pretty narly.  I think im going to write a review of Metroid Prime Hunters for the DS later today, and mabey a CD or two if i get to it. Until then.

I completely wasted 8 minuets of my life trying to come up with a name for this damn thing. I'm not very original.  Anyways, I'm hoping you guys will take the time to visit this place from time to time. Count on plenty of music, movie, game and book reviews. I'll even throw in some ranting if you are lucky. Who knows maybe I'll get all emo on you and write self centered angsty entrys about how my life sucks. Don't get your hopes up though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya so this is my 3rd attempt at a blog. Maybe I have blogging ADD.  I promise to try really hard to update frequently. I wouldn’t take my word for it though. I have a feeling I’m just making this because I'm trying to avoid the shit load of homework I have. Ok well I really should be cramming for a math test right now so I'll catch ya later. Adios.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23477542-114160244718873398?l=b-is-for-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://b-is-for-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/114160244718873398/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23477542&amp;postID=114160244718873398' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23477542/posts/default/114160244718873398'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23477542/posts/default/114160244718873398'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://b-is-for-blog.blogspot.com/2006/03/b-is-for-blog.html' title='B is for Blog'/><author><name>Michael</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00932290929468772580</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
