Thanks for your comments!

Since I posted that blog I have engaged with my silliness. I now do daft things like playing with toy soldiers (with 30 others guys) on Monday nights.

I spoke to my 26 year old chum Oliver tonigth in the pub (I'm still drunk) and his eyes lit up when I told him that my guitaring is ok, but that the silly stuff is more fun. He and I have spent too long talking about how our guitaring is great ... but the truth is it is 90% work and only 10% reward. It was nice to tell him that and see his eyes widen ... like I am the only person to give him persmission to - in his case - enjoy his hang-gliding MORE than his guitaring!

The news is just there to hold eyeballs and sell advertising. Just like the rest of the programming on the major networks. Most newsies are ignorant about gun, as well as, many/most of the other subjects they report.

We had a thread running on this law over in the Gun Owners group. I think you joined in the discussion. My stance is even if I lived in AZ, I would still get a permit for reciprocity purposes. Issues were also raised of civil lawsuits and such.

My housemate recently discovered 'The Real Thing' and has been blasting Epic from her room all week, and then raped my cd collection for their other albums, so I have been up to my elbows in Mike Patton all week.
Er, figuratively of course.

I <3 that song though, and the vid i posted is my favourite version

Is there an answer to the test ? If you fall into a certain % ?

Sigh, in my brain I know this. I just feel like I've put forth effort for guy #1 and if nothing comes from it... it was like months of wasted action.

Congrats on the diagnosis though. I really hope my sister will one day have the same pride you have since she's a single mom with a little boy.

i LOVE hearing anecdotes like this! good on you AND him =)

"People in the northeast are always pissed off frown People on the west coast, not so angry. "

it's because the West Coast has better weather!

"the corpse flower"

ewwwwwwwwwwwww A FLOWER!

I notice NY never gets past the midpoint of the happiness scale. Yup.

I apprecaite you taking the time and effort to blog on this issue. I agree with you. Enter legally and you are good to go. The Feds let this situation get out of hand and now the states have to take the steps to control it.

I don't mean to start an open discussion on midnyte's blog...but IT'S NOT PROFILING!!!!! Asking for ID is perfectly legal. If you have ID from a state that doesn't require proof of citizenship that doesn't make you a suspect. It MIGHT make a candidate for an extra question. How in God's green earth does that make it profiling? How about the Irishman with a NM drivers license? You know the guy; sawed off, red haired freckled dude? How about the Chinese guy with a KS license? How about the white guy who speaks flawless English? You know, my friend from Peru who is 6.5 with reddish hair and grew up here? That's a true story.

Hogwash on profiling. Complete and total hogwash.

happy birthday! some people just refuse to change. don't worry about them and just enjoy your weekend.

Happy Birthday!

that's kinda ironic, my apartment has been under siege by horrid biting ants that get into EVERYTHING since we moved in.

I'm battling Fire Ants. Yesterday they launched an assault on the bathroom, but I managed to drive them off. And last week I found a nest in the corner of my bedroom!

One of the best things about summer is being able to grill outside, my family knows a ton of southern and Cajun recipes so it's super exciting to be able to bust them out

Aw I'm sorry poor puppies, I hope they get better soon

I hope they get better soon!

You make a number of good points. However, I think a lot of people are looking at more than just this one law. I, at least, am looking at a pattern of legislation and proposed legislation, and the pattern indicates a widespread effort not to simply curb or address illegal immigration, but to curb the rights of Hispanics and impose 'whitecentric' standards for society.

As for LA's boycott, the point is to put political pressure on Arizona, not for LA to cut off its nose to spite its face. Is there a lack of conviction in boycotting hotel accommodations but now power? Well, yes, but LA citizens also aren't setting themselves on fire in front of Phoenix courthouses. An LA boycott of Arizona power would result in, at best, a pyrrhic victory for LA. Reasonable people don't go for the pyrrhic victory unless all other options have been exhausted.

Honestly I may not agree with you on everything here but I love that you EXPLAIN yourself fully and use actual facts instead of throwing around scary words to make people feel uncomfortable.

cuuuuuuuuute!!!
