I got your Terminator right HERE!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger confirmed an open secret Friday, telling supporters that he's running for re-election next year -- an early announcement designed to re-energize his sagging political momentum.

You knew--you had to know--he'd be back for a sequel. I'm relieved he didn't hold a press conference to actually say "I'll be back!" If there is anywhere they need to pass a law against flogging dead horses it is certainly California.

Let me be the first to say that it is high time Mr. Schwarzenegger returned to his cinematic career... it makes ignoring him so much simpler.

obligatory update

I've been having a very hard time getting around to updates. This is not due to a lack of ideas or anything of that nature. I simply haven't felt like putting my thoughts on line.

I feel bad because I realize as my updates become less frequent, the number of people who visit my site are steadily dropping. It's depressing to realize that there are people out there who think I'm worth a few moments of their time only to find the same old shit staring them in the face day after day. Who needs that?

I know I'm slipping when even Yale President Richard Levin stops sending me hate mail:

Mr. Blunderson.

You suck. Can you please update your blog so I can be reminded of just how bad you do suck?

Regards,

Richard Levin - President of Yale (the greatest University on Earth that I am President of)

PS What could be wrong with using the internet to follow the brilliant career of Brittney Spears? As far as I'm concerned it is the second best reason for having a computer. The first will always be having e-mail so I can tell you that you suck.

I had no idea

I have a friend at work who really enjoys my blog. Sadly, since she has no computer of her own she depends on the computers at the Orem Public Library to check her e-mail, catch up on Brittney Spears related news, and to follow my website.

The only problem is my site is blocked by the content filter that the Orem Public Library uses so she is unable to access it from there, and therefore unable to read my blog.

I have to admit that I don't know exactly how internet filters work. I could ask my brother, or look it up on the internet, but my brother already poked fun at me for "putting way too much research" into my blog. I do suspect that the OPL Filter is either set to block specific sites or can scan text for content.

Although the system probably operates using both techniques simultaneously, I'll guess it is the latter that is keeping anyone who uses their computers from falling victim to my ramblings… I do after all put the Blah in blog

Looking back over the entries on this page I realize that on two occasions I used the dreaded f word which probably has something to do with the fact that my site is getting filtered. That’s funny—to me anyway—since I make no conscious effort to use it or not use it… I only write what is in my brain and if there happens to be colorful metaphor embedded in the heaping mess that spews forth onto my keyboard on its way to becoming web content then so be it. If it happens it happens… At least that is how I felt before I considered any such ramifications.

To my friend I say - "sorry for the inconvenience. I'll try to do better."

PS Fuckity fuck… fuck… fucking fuck.

best DVD's ever

A note to the people who market and design DVD covers:

If the "special features" listed on the back cover are limited to interactive menus, chapter selection, and 5.1 surround then I should probably tell you that your features are NOT special at all. Quit calling them that! Call them standard features or don't call them anything.
