I am pretty shocked that a larger noise wasn’t made about this “net neutrality” shit. I mean, this is the internet, you would think that people would care about it. When the presidential elections were going on my friends page was BLOWING THE FUCK UP with people making baseless rants about politics and government and… so what, you all stopped caring all of a sudden?

Well it didn’t pass (as in, the companies are free to do what they want), and now we are going to get gouged in the eyes by internet service providers… most likely. This honestly really upsets me. I mean, I have two senators who I would have written to and/or called because of this. This was something that could have been taken care of. If reading that story leaves you confused The Ninja explains it … ok-ish.

It is 6:30 PM and all is not well.
I feel ill,
and tired.

I have failed the evening,
I will now retire to my bed.

Thatbox crashed my hotel room on Friday night. He forced onto the French Quarter as a “subject” for his photography. He put together a nice little collection of them HERE.

Actually I really appreciate that he did this. It will probably be the last time in my life that I end up there, and good ridance (seriously).

If you want to see some good photos and some mildly embarrasing one take a look at his excellent skills and mighty drunkenness.

My iPod use to load lists and menus so quickly. A click after spinning the wheel would provide near instant results. Now I click on “Artists” and I feel the hard drive spinning up a bit inside the case and the menu will just sit there for a good few seconds. Sometimes I don’t feel the hard drive start up for a little while and I click the button furiously because nothing is happening and I think the damn thing may have died on me. I wish there was a way to defragment your iPod.

It is almost full. I have been looking forward to this for a while now. When I realized that I had 24GB of music and about 12GB to transfer onto the thing recently (I hadn’t used it in a while because of the hurricane and having things all over the place) I bought a really excellent program for Windows users: anaPod.

When it becomes full I have two basic options: 1) Back it up and then buy a 60GB new iPod or 2) Start pruning. I have been looking forward to the pruning part for a while because when I listen to my entire library on shuffle mode I do skip stuff and I also have no idea where certain songs come from.

When my iPod becomes full I will work towards the ultimate playlist. I will begin to rate all my songs in the star scale and then when I need to free up space, open up the lower star rating and just start mass deleting. Eventually I will only have good - amazing music on there. Well, for myself at least. I am pretty sure that most people don’t care about my 27 different official versions of Vampire Killer of Castlevania fame.

I also need to get these damn photos off my iPod. I put them on there on accident when I was still using that terrible iTunes program and it automatically synced up with “My Photo” folder.

But as strange as this is: I really don’t care about music too much. Most of my music (the largest percentage anyways) is Video Game Music, then followed in second by the entire Nine Inch Nails discography (barring With Teeth, which is in St. Louis and I keep forgetting to rip).
