Confussed by Paul
[inlink]paul,2958[/inlink]Ok I admit that I don't know the entire story but I'm a little bit confussed by Paul's entry. First of all what is up with the site being censored. I remeber recently pictures of a nude Sir Paul McCartney Soyeon put up picks of a guy with a dragon Tat on his dick. Then there where the Naked Pictures of Brad Pit. So I don't understand the cnsored part.

I'm also confussed because Paul asked for people's ideas on how to expand the site. The site has expandednd and the community has grown. I thought that is what Paul wanted the site to do. I admit I'm not one of the originals here. I adimit that I have never meet anyone off line that I knew on line first. Not only from here but from chats, Message boards, IM's and e-mail. So I admit that I'm a little bit lost here. Maybe if I reread it I will understand more.


Ok I reread it and I sord of understand. I say the picture should have been left up. If someone is offendend to bad. If they are offendend then they should leave the site. Or not look at the picture. Or maybe on the homepage There could be one of those disclaimers saying that you don't edit content and that there fore some viewers might find something that offends them and if that is the case then they should leave now or proced at there own risk.

The Big Deal
My theory on the blogs being bought is a little differant. I read about it in the paper. I think that both Yahoo and Google are very competative with each other. Once one decided to buy blogs then the other one had to to keep up. I think they think that blogs are going to become the next big thing on the net. Lets take e-strip for example if you searched by topic and you could find so meny differant topics on here. e-strip is a small blog site in a local community. I think it is another way to get add space also. Lets say I talk about how I went to applebee's last night and I loved the food. Well applebee's just got a free add. But what if i only talk about resturants. Then someone could serach resturants find my blog and find what places I like and what places I don't. But what if I really worked for some of those places. That is just one example. I think the potential for blogs being used on the net is so high that these companies want to get in now. So blogs sites can give a huge amount of webresults. They also have the apperance of being personal and some indivuals take on things. For this reason they are prime for people and companies to sneak ads in. There are all ready people who go to chat rooms to start Buzz about movies and Products. If my friend Doug tells me about a band he likes I and we like the same kind of music I will check that band out. But If I read about them in a magizine I usaly won't check them out, the same with movie reviews. Reviewers are paid to review movies and often hate movies I love so I don't listen to them but if a friend of mine tells me about a movie I'm more open to their thoughts about it. I think that is one of the reasons search engines are buying blog places. Yes the entire picture thing may also be a big factor but I think it is all about adds and making money and the potential that blog sites have for the future, but I'm always a sinick.

NCAA's
I admit it I should be watching the final four instead of being here. But I still have more online stuff to do. I need to go buy food. So I may miss all of today's games. That seems to always happen with me. I mean to watch the games but miss a lot of them. Last Nights Wake Forest game was amazing. That was awesome. The Same thing happens to me with the NBA Playoffs to. I mean to watch them and allways wind up missing them.

I did that political test I think there should be more then 20 questions I don't think that it would be more acurate that way but here is How I came Out.

On Non-Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Strong Liberal (14).
On Fiscal Issues, you rank as a Moderate Liberal (35).

Weekend ARGHhh
It started out kinda rough. I went to HSBC arena and bought tickets to the Jackdaw pregame show that was supposed to be at the Backstage club I was told they where at Perl Street Bar and Grill. So I go there turns out Jackdaw Cancelled the day before. The guy did wind up letting me into the Buffet. The food was great I would consider doing that again it was a lot of fun. The Bandits game was a really good close game. There where a lot of hot ladies around so that was distracting but the game flew by. But this morning on my way to the bank I lost my paycheck. I hope if anyone found it they are honest and give me a call or turn it in to a bank or something as opposed to trying to cash it. I'm kinda depressed, I don't want to get to upset yet. I will wait and hope someone contacts me. On monday there are people I can call to find out what is going on and what I have to do about it. I know if I found someones check I would try to contact them. I had a few plans for that money allready like buying food for my house, and go to other Bandits games or maybe a concert. .
