I've been meaning to mention this for quite sometime but never seem to remember until I've caught myself doing it. Somewhere on the road from Lubbock to Abilene, there's a billboard that reads: He's an eccentric black man. The word eccentric has a single line through it in red ink. I had to drive by it a couple of times (i drove by it 8 times in August) to really realize what it's saying. Too often, I feel as though I must use someone's race to identify them. For...

What on earth were the Lubbock Christian University Eagles thinking when they agreed to play the University of Miami in men's basketball? That's like Monterey High School versus the Knicks!...

Every Tuesday I scroll through the new releases in iTunes to find new music. Today, there wasn't much that interested me. I was about to give up when I noticed this beautiful cover. It's strangely in the rock category, but they're more of a bluegrass/folk duo. I believe they are man and wife and their harmony will take your breath away (think nathan and christy nockels). It's perfect....

I'm sure most iPod owners are feeling the same way I am these days... I can't get enough music to satisfy my listening needs. I carry my iPod around with me all day on campus, I listen to my iBook whenever I'm home. When I'm downstairs, I'm either watching some television on Tivo or listening to some music via the Home Media Option on Tivo. I'm living a music-centric life, and I can't get enough music. Just this week I've purchased 4 cd's and acquired 5 others. My iPod is...

I caught this picture of the new Mr. Universe today. He looks like a mutant....

I just read Martha's take on the second-coming of the Purple House and a thought hit me. She's way too biased because she lives there and thinks college students are dragging down "the neighborhood" that people want to live in. I sit here, biased as well, and think they should just deal with it. You live right next to a university of 30,000 students and you can't expect nights to always be quiet and the yards to always be free of red plastic cups. Well we're both wrong. To give...

The FCC approved a mandate from Hollywood to add a "broadcast flag" to all digital programming today, marking the 1,000,000th time this year that some lame-ass guys have gotten on their knees for a corporation. In this case, Hollywood and their monopolistic grip on media won a giant battle. It's like a giant, running, bicycle-kick to the nuts for consumers. Innovations like Tivo, VCR's, DVD-R's, etc.. will not be possible under the new restrictions by the FCC unless approved by, again, some lame-ass guys working for Hollywood. It's really...

Kyle Lent is making the switch!! He's the proud owner of a 40gig iPod and soon an iBook G4. Now, when adam hoover and I watch kyle play, we'll sit and giggle when we see his iPod or iBook and talk about how even the rockstars have seen the light! I will say that it's about damn time Kyle, look at the music you like!! It's all not mainstream and it's all available from the iTunes Music Store. Good work!!...
