Late

Yes I know It's been a while since I've gotten one of these posts in. A lot has happened in the last week or so. Anyways, on to what happening with me not.

I've got my fingers crossed hoping that this bail out is not a phail out.

Speaking of phail outs, to say I'm irreconcilably angry with Johnny for picking Palin would be an understatement. She was great publicity but horrible for everything else. Meaning, she's horrible at all the thigns that really count.

To throw oil on the fire, what was up with the whole campaign suspension/I don't want to debate thing he had going on? I don't know what that was all about, but it was annoying for a number of reasons. I really don't know where to begin on it, but hell if u have questions feel free to ask.

Today I begin working out again, wish me luck.
Zune review and web update tomorrow.

Next JAM

Dennis Edwards is a rather incredible artist. I know you've heard this melody before. Tupac, Skeelo, M People, and verious others have sampled it. So now present to you, Don't Look Any Further.

Throwback JAM

BOOM BIDD BYE BYE!

Potpourri

Life would be much easier if stores would stop crappin around and factor in tax to the price of their merchandise. I wouldn't have to count change or worry about the extra. It would just be there and I could have a better idea of what I'd like to buy.

Every price should end in 0 or 5. Pennies are pretty damn useless. In fact it costs more to produce them than they are individually worth. Why oh why do we still have them?

People spend more time hating on "rival" products than enjoying what they have. While I'm technically guilty of this, my "hating" comes more from the fact that I'm fairly tech savvy and I enjoy giving advice to people who may not know there are alternatives in brands other than their own. However, when it comes to "XBOX 360 IS THE BEST CONSOLE UR WII SUCKS IT BIGTIME AND UR PS3 IS LAME" I just yawn. Buy your console, play your console. If you don't know why you're buying what you're buying you simply should not be buying anything.

Movies, they all kinda suck right now, but thats nothing new.

That's all folks. Zune review forthcoming.

You knew it was coming...

I knew it was coming. I usually prefer to pass on religion and politics as a conversational topic. Well, no, that's certainly a lie. Those are things I don't usually shy away from. Anyways, I'll get on with the subject. First, Politics.

• This election is no different than any other in terms of slander.
• Any way you slice it Palin was a great choice for a boost but a horrible choice for a very possible president.
• This is not the election for you to single issue vote on.
• You should never single issue vote

Religion

• I consider myself as barely Christian
• I understand the necessity for morality within the Christian church yadda yadda.
• I don't understand the attempt to enforce or impose your religion on others through legislation.
• Creationism is nonsense.

That's just how I feel.

On another note, I ordered the zune and I feel great. Smallville was a let down and Supernatural was superb. Glad they brought it back for another season although this one could get ooooh so weird.

Cya next time.

Esko's throwback JAM of the week

I'm a pretty big fan of throwbacks, oldschool, and oldies. I figure once a week I'll bring you guys one of my favorites. Depending on what the response is like I'll either do it more, less, or not at all. So, here goes nothin!

Buggin Out
A Tribe Called Quest

Today's Observation

The sun is still shinning. No dimensional rifts are tearing te skies asunder. Bring on the Higgs Boson!

On another much sadder note, after numerous dropping and various mishandlings over 3 years, my archos is on the verge of death. I'll have to take up the godawful task of selecting its replacement. The only worthy contendors I've seen lately are zune and ipod players. I have disdain for both consdidering the thing I loved so much about the Archos was its drag and drop feature. All I had to to to get tracks or files on it was copy and paste. From what I know, if you can't get the file into the zune marketplace or itunes that file is not going on your player. That means none of that external hd action for you. Anyways, if anyone out there owns either or and wants to tell me why their player is so wonderful, please do. I need help making a final decision on it.

Hola

I'm Esko. I notice things. Then I write about them. Can you dig it?
