MSN Problems

So MSN seems to be having some problems lately..so anyone trying to get a hold of me, your best bet may be gmail (cdlawrence@(g)mail.com) or on Yahoo Messenger (dok2001). I've been trying to check my hotmail as I know there are a few people still sending some stuff to it.

I've installed the latest version of Trillion on to my PC and am not as happy with it as I was the last version. Most of the Plugin's and skins have not been updated and are now broken. I've been opening up Yahoo more often as well as it seems to handle Webcam better, and I've got a few friends who for some reason want to see me while we chat...weirdo's :D. Yahoo is also nice as I can open my Launchcast Radio station..the same way you can, from my link section (/cheap plug)

Updated MSN to 7 as well, the little I've used it, I was not that impressed. A few more eye candy things but that's about it.


As I am sitting here..CNN is reporting that Johnny Carson has passed away. Yet another legend has died. I was watching his farewell show and remember it like it was yesterday. It's too bad, that the good ones keep leaving us.

RIP: Johnny...Here's a golf swing for you...

The Ultimate X

It is Matches like this that, even after all the crap that WWE puts out, remind mw why I am a proud wrestling fan

An evening with Googles Marissa Mayer (alan.blog-city.com)

A very interesting look at what happens inside Google

AND I SCOOPED MOOSE :D

Counting Blue Cars

• Well, I'm glad I stayed with Blogger as it seems as if LJ has had some problems in the past couple of days
• I got my new MP3 player and after figuring out how to use it (Thanks to Moose) I'm amazed that more people don't have them. Mine is a 256MB one that can fit about 2 1/2 hours of music and has a battery life of over 10 hours. It's also an FM Radio and a voice recorder. It got it's first road test today when I decided it was nice enough to go for a walk. The sound is great and it's not too heavy. Not to meantion that it's great to be listening to Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" when walking down a almost deserted road
• It's been super busy at work lately but at least it's making the nights go quicker. I think there is a shift bid coming up and I'm hoping to keep my weekends off. I've taken to this Monday to Friday workweek.
• I'm in the midst of watching New Years Revolution now, just making it through the Tag title match and Women's Title match. Talk about the walking wounded. I'm sure I'll have a rant about Triple H once I watch the Main Event.
• I like this Launchcast Plus Player the more and more I use it.
• Walmart opens on Jan 25. I can't wait to take a look at thier Home Entertainment section. It seems like one stop shopping. It will be a couple of weeks before I take a look as I'll probably wait for the hubbub to die off a little bit
• Song that should have done better then it did: Jason Mraz- Curbside Prophet. People keep talking about wanting something different and one thing it is is different.
  

G4 Drops TechTV Name

Slashdot | G4 Drops TechTV Name

It's about time. The Bastard child that was G4TECHTV was nothing but a blight on the TechTv's good name. It's officually turned into a 13 year old's network.

Oh well...I'm running out of reasons to keep my dish

Willie, This one's for you

Actually Stewart and Moose Might get a kick out of it as well. It comes from a group in the states showing some of the best canadian bashing that I've ever seen.

Enjoy MSNBC, Tucker. I'm sure that you'll enjoy batting cleanup for Debrah Norville

Mom's Site

Mom finally get her site up as well, you can check it out here

Frickin Opera House

So against my better judgement, I decided to go out to the Opera House with some of the people from work for a few drinks tonight. It reminded me why I hate the place.

There was nobody around, the music was terrible. I thought I had taken a wrong turn to the Rockin Rodeo, as he played country most of the night, and while I don't mind country (I'm listening to Rascal Flats right now) It's not what I want to hear when I go out to the club. As I said to one of the guys I went with, "I'm like the cop one day before retirement, I'm getting too old for this shit."

I had a lot more fun just hanging out at Mike's, talking sports with the gang that was around there. Ah well, I won my night on the machines with $20 to spare so I guess I can't complain too much

A wrestling update

It's been a while since I did a wrestling update. I guess the reason for that it I really didn't have that much to say. I guess I'm just getting tired of seeing the same thing over and over againon RAW, as it dosen't matter what happens, Triple H is always going to come out on top. I've always been a big Maven fan so for him to be getting a bit more TV time is nice to see. Kane's return is also a welcome site. I think that it's time for Hunter to step aside and get off TV for a while, to allow guys like Batista amd Orton to get away from under his shadow.

As for Smackdown, I'm not a big fan of anyone over there with the exception of Undertaker. Everyone else seems to be "Second Rate" RVD does not give a damn anymore and Rey Mysterio does the smae match every week. I thought they were on the right track with Paul London, but his fued with Billy Kidman seems to have been quickly squashed.

Damn G4, Screwing up my Tech TV

This is the reason I don't watch anything on G4TechTV anymore. I turned on The screen savers once since the relaunch and lasted 1 segment.

What song from 2004 are you?

1985 by Bowling for Soup

"Where's the mini-skirt made of snakeskin? And who's the other guy that's singing in Van Halen? When did reality become T.V.? What ever happened to sitcoms, game shows?" You took the bitter with the sweet in 2004 - and kept laughing.

What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

Gift Card Bonanza

- So I went and spent my Giftcards today, Picking up The Blue Collar Comedy Tour Rides again, as well as a couple of other DVD's involving the guys on that show, Ron White and Bill Engvall. I've already watched the Blue Collar one and Ron white, and my side are hurting, it was so funny.

It's New Year, Baby

- So We've made it through yet another holiday season, wrapping with the now somewhat traditional Kenny New Years Party.

I guess christmas first. Jamie made it home, so that was nice. I got cash for my grandparents, a jogging suit from mom and dad along with a $25 gift card from CD Plus. It was a smaller christmas, but was fun.

I worked through the week inbetween Christmas and New Years, fighting a hell of a Flu along the way, but made it to the party last night. It was a great time, pics can be found at http://spaces.msn.com/members/grumpy77 which is Carrie's newest Blog I guess. The night was complete with a couple of phone calls from out west. Made me miss some people a lot, but in the year to come, I'm going to take care of that.

On to other stuff...I was supposed to see a young lady from work, but it was decided that it was probibly not a good idea to date someone you work with. so it's a friend thing again.

Christmas is coming up, and my shopping is almost done. Thank God

The Hip was a great concert last night. They hit all of the songs that you would suspect. I would not call it the best concert I was ever at, as Great Big Sea in Bathurst was more fun, but this was a solid number 2.
