Should I stay or should I go?

Trying to debate the wisdom of two blogs.  There is none.  And I may kill this one and merge with giantELF.

Eclipse fever or “I waited in line for 4 days to get tickets to a crappy movie…and I don’t have my iPhone 4G yet.”

'Eclipse' Top Advance Ticket Seller Of Year



Once upon a time fans would wait on line (it’s “on” btw not “in”) to get tickets to hot concerts. The night before you and your buddies would take a seat on the cold sidewalk outside of the venue or your local record store. Back in the olden days children, tickets were only sold at a place we called the “box office” or at the local record store — I’ll post later on what a record is. There wasn’t an internet. You didn’t need a password or the ability to read and retype letters mushed over a Rorschach background. You sat out all night. One night. And we had a word for the fans who brought a sleeping bag — pussies. Anything beyond your butt on the cold pavement was a no-no.
The point is once we got to the front of the line, we handed over our (parent’s) money we got something worth waiting all night for in return – tickets to a show. A unique — one of kind — not going be seen again anywhere else — show. Sure there was a second performance the following night. And this was just one stop on a multi-city tour. But no two shows are the same. The energy. The special guests. The set lists. The pot.
And we only waited out one night. (Can’t stress that enough.)
So enjoy your tickets to the move of the book millions have already read. With the pre-negotiated and contracted mandatory previews. I’ll wait till it’s on DVD.
And then use it for a coaster.
Zeppelin Rules! (And I still have yet to make a sale.)

Koman Coulibaly

Jim Joyce is probably the only American that was happy to see Koman's blown call yesterday.

But then again -- I don't follow soccer.

Or baseball.

Mobile blogging. Wow.

LCD screens



Awesome quote of the day:

I don't care what it is, when it has an LCD screen, it makes it better. - Kevin Rose

Right on.

And so it begins

A blog. Will this interfere with my other writing?

Probably.
