First of all I made a slight mistake it was called live 8 not live aid. I guess it actully started around 8am on CTV. I watched them and switched back and forth between MTV/VH1 coverage. I read a review on line that was onpoint. Vh1 took to much time telling you about the event as opposed to showing. For example someone was on stage and the told us who was onstage and we heard the music, they should just show us who is on stage. Bon Jovi was on live and the went to commerical before the song was done. Then Later they Went back and showed a performance of his that all ready happened. What they should have done was the same thing CTV did but with two locations instead of One. You show Philly live then when the music ends you go to london or vice versa. If no one else is live at the time then go to a tape. There covarge could have been a lot better. I didn't see much of it but chanel 7 had a two hour show on at 8pm of it. CTV here chanel 12 on cabel had a greatest hits show from about 8 to Midnight I only saw a little bit of it. What I saw was good but I would have liked to see more. I wonder if they will come out with a complete DVD that will have all the concerts completly covered with all the artists. I know they say it isn't about the money but they do sell some merch so maybe they will.
I did escape to the lovely weather out side today. I returned some bottles to Latina Foods. Then I went to execerd to get pop and video tapes. In my travels I did see some sexy ladies mostly with guys. But I enjoyed my short walk. I was thinking about going to the bisons game but not in the mood so I will watch Supersize me or The Punisher and tape them both. Punisher was very good and I'm finaly able to catch Supersize me. Well I hope everyone has a more exciting and fun 4th then I do. Hopefully on tuesday I will go see War of the Worlds, I also really want to see the New Batman movie it would be cool to go see them both in the same day I havn't seen two shows at a movie house in a long time it can be a lot of fun. I added my school loans to the calculator I put in how much I owe not how much I will have to payback with interest since that might be hard to figure out. I thought I owed a lot wich I do but compaired to others it isn't that much really.

Live Aid On saturday is Live Aid 8. I admit I had forgotten about it. They want to send a message to The G8 summit and and trying to get ride of poverty. It seems like a good cause to me. I looked it up on AOL and they list the cities and who is performing. I know MTV and VH-1 will be showing the concert live. But what I don't know is who they will show and how all that is determined. MTV and VH-1 might have the same coverage I don't know. I also Know that 1077 the lake will be broadcasting it on the radio. I don't know who they will be playing or how they select it either. I'm not going to either one but there are a couple of good concert events on Saturday. There is one at the innerharbor Firstward Area. I don't know all the bands performing but I know Jackdaw is one of the bands and they are very good. Also The Juliet Dagger is playing in Niagara falls. I don't know where the outlet mall is but that is where they and a few other bands will be performing. I Don't know what I'm doing for the 4th but I hope everyone enjoys the holiday and the long weekend.

travel One thing that I do like to do is to travel places. There are a lot of places I would love to go but can't Afforid like europe or maybe a long cruise some place tropical. But I think by ones self is easier and less stressfull. I'm trying to find out about goi to toronto. I want to go on a friday so I only miss a day of work. My sister makes more money working on the weekends so she wants to go during the week. I have to find out when others at work are on Vacation. I don't want to take off two days when someone else is off. That isn't fair to the rest of the crew. There arn't that many of us, so it can reallly up the work load. All the coordinating drives me crazzy. I think that is one of the reasons I never call any one. Cause you kinda have to do the same thing well what do ya wana do, what day is best for you, ok what movie time and what movie and all that drives me crazzy sometimes. Maybe it is just the heat who knows. But I doubt it. All that give and take stuff is anoying.

Tech Support PhilosphyFirst of all This is going to be a rant so be warned, well it won't get to angery but it kinda touchs on another post of mine. I am having problems with secure sites. Aol has been very helpfull but nothing we have done has fixed the problem. So I figure lets try dell. Now we have tech support but it only covers the hardware. So if you want software coverage you have to pay another fee. But the thing is with dell you buy all the software from them. You go to there site and custmise the way you want your computer and what software you want. So I think it is bullshit. I think most tech support if it is for TV's or Cars is Bullshit, if something breaks in the first 3 years or goes bad. It should be free to get help. The buyer shouldn't be penalised because there is a bug, a glitch or something wasn't made right. I do understand that there are some wear and tare issues in terms of cars. But if something goes wrong you shouldn't have to pay for some guys time. You should be able to take your lemon of a ford back to ford and have them fix the problem. But it seems that there is this new attitude about stuff that if something goes wrong it is the consumers fault. I think the philosephy is all wrong. I understand you can't guarentee a TV for 10 years. But a 90 day waretntee is a joke. What if something goes wrong on day 100. But yet all these stores will sell you a longer guarentee. Bullshit you have insurance if it is defective or something goes wrong with it fix it. If it is something I cause and you find I caused it then yeah it is fare to charge me. What gets me even more pissed is some of these stores that have a stocking fee charge. Hello fuckers you have stock boys that is what they do they take it to your car for free but you return it you have to pay them, What the fuck is that. I'll tell ya what I'll put it back in the warehouse those guys have nothing else better to do anyways. They are paid to do a job let them do it and don't give them a bonus cause I returned something. I think everything that is sold should have a real and fair minimuim time that it should last with out problems. Price is a factor in that. If a VCR goes bad within 3 months maybe you get a replacement or something. My point is that manufactures and stores should be responsible for quality, don't shelp it off on the buyer. I hope this attitude changes.

Hot Weekend I admit it has been very hot lately. But to be honest I would rather have that then the rainy summers we sometimes have here. But it does tire you out at work and you need to keep filling up with water. I had A good time at The Artvoice street Fest on sunday. I saw and heard some good bands and saw some dancing. A lot of the bands I had never heard of. I enjoyed The Rabies they where good. Just before 7 i left and went down to the Gus Macker. They where having a few bands down there. I guess I missed the opening band. Yeah I skiped Government Mule for The Juliet Dagger. Fat apple performed and a band I realy wound up liking called Mincus or maybe Minkiss not sure how it is spelled. But who I went to see was The Juliet Dagger. They did a short set but it was good. It was a small crowd. I don't think to many people knew about it. I learned about it that morning on myspace. Plus they where on at the same time as something that was heavly advertised in fact a couple peoople either from PA or CAnada (simalur acents) asked how to get there and I told them. The band before the Juliet Dagger said they where going to see Gouvernment Mule and some people left the show, that was funny but kinda wrong. It was a weird vibe but a good vibe. I havn't downloaded my pictures yet but Maybe I will remember to upload them once I do.
