Matt's Dad's Basement-Tupac

I'm taking all you St. Louis people back with this song. I was in high school when this song came out, probably 6-8 years ago. 105.7 The Point used to play this song all the time. It's by a St. Louis band named Matt's Dad's Basement and is about seeing Tupac at …

Scrubs

Lately I've been finding myself watching Scrubs a lot. I never watched this show during it's regular airings. In fact, I remember watching the first show 6 seasons ago and I thought it sucked. Now, I can't help but watch it every time I see it on. I've have the …

Some More Thoughts on Ubuntu

I must say I'm really enjoying Ubuntu on my laptop. I use my laptop a lot now. Before, with XP, my laptop was running slow (even after reformatting), but with Ubuntu it runs at least twice as fast, if not three times. I don't use it for much, mostly just browsing the …

Hip Hop is Dead

K-OS Unplugged

In last week's episode of Entourage as the end credits started to roll, they played Valhalla by K-OS. I knew they'd play him on that show sooner or later because they always have the freshest music on the show. What surprised me was that the song was an acoustic …

Is a Switch Coming?

I installed Movable Type 4 on another site of mine and imported all the WordPress posts from this blog. I'm kind of tired of WordPress and the direction it's going (It seems WordPress (as in .org) has went from being what's best for the community to what's best for the …

Some Life in the Cardinals After All

I was shocked that the Cardinals brought up Rick Ankiel already. They can't send him back down because the Cardinals are out of options on him. If he would get sent back down, any team can claim him. I knew they'd bring him up, but I thought it would be closer to …

Giving Ubuntu Another Shot

I'm giving Ubuntu another shot. I'm not using my laptop much anymore, mostly because it sucks, so I decided to try Ubuntu again. The install was quick and painless. I think Ubuntu 7 was faster than 6 with the install process. You can tell it was updated to make …

The Crawl

So, the Crawl for Cancer was a great success. I drank a lot of beer, got a t-shirt, had fun, and helped support a great cause. I hope to participate in the next one. Here's a brief recap of what happened.

At the first bar we went to, the royal blue team was done with …

Drink Beer and Cure Cancer

Tomorrow I'm participating in the Crawl for Cancer. For those of you who don't know what this is, you pay an amount of money ($45) to drink in different bars (5). All the proceeds are donated to find a cure for cancer. This is something I can really get behind. You …
