Poison – “I won’t forget you”

Seems so many people these days (including me) are having “love” issues and/or “relationship” issues. Well about a week ago, I dedicated a song to a friend of mine who’s having a rough time and I just figured I would make a blanket dedication to everyone who’s going through tough times in relationships. The song is called “I won’t forget you” by Poison… a late 80’s metal band. Hey, shut up… Poison rocked back then and the song still works today. Here are the words:

Late at night I close my eyes and think of how things could have been and when I think back I remember some words you have said to me “it’s better to have lost at love, than never to have loved at all”. I won’t forget you baby, even though I could. I won’t forget you baby, even though I should. Sometimes in my head I can still see pictures of you and I laugh to myself when I think of all those crazy things we used to do. Although the miles come between us, just between you and me, I won’t forget you baby, even though I could. I won’t forget you baby, even though I should. I should let you fade away but that just wouldn’t be me.

and here is a MP3 of the song if you’d like to hear it and give it a fair shake: forget.mp3 (MP3 was removed as of 5/8/03)

KROQ Love Line guest Kelly Osbourne

So while I’m working tonight, I’m listening to KROQ’s Love Line and they have Kelly Osbourne on as a guest… here’s a small list of some of the things she’s said without being bleeped on live radio:

“Why would they be looking at your dick?”, now she’s talking about “eating out a girl” and “getting juice on your face” and she just said “sucking your dick” hahahahahahaha and she also said “Jizz”, “Penis” and “Cunt” all without any bleeps!

400-year-old oak tree

Reading CNN.com and listening to KLOS 95.5FM tonight, I heard about this tree, a 400-year-old oak tree that some developer wants to chop down to make room for widening a two-lane road near the oak. Come on people, this tree is over twice the age of the United States of America. It’s a part of history. This tree has survived so much over the past 400 years, wars, fires, etc.

Here’s a funny thing… Gray Davis, the governor for all of California says it’s a “local problem” and won’t help in trying to save this tree.  All of California is his problem. Why not make the road go around the tree? That would just be to easy I guess.

Anyway, sorry for the rant but if you care to read the story, here’s a link to the story.

SoCal Traffic and Fog sucks!

So today I needed to head down to San Diego to do some maintenance on one of my web servers. I left at 6:00 am, only having about 4.5 hours of sleep (thanks for keeping me up, you know who you are… hehe). As I head out, whoosh! in comes some very thick fog… I can’t see anything beyond the hood of my car. So I drive like 40 MPH when the posted speed limit is like 65-70 MPH. Three hours later I finally get to my destination. Everything went smooth, the server is now maxed out on RAM (2 gig) and I upgraded the hard drive to a 120 gig (from a 40 gig), transferred over everything and it came up without any problems!

So now it’s lunch time and I want to eat. I had some yummy Carl’s Jr. After about a 30 minute lunch break, I jump on the 5 FWY to head back to my office in Orange County. The traffic in Southern California sucks and not in a nice way! I left San Diego at 12:35 pm and I just got in at 4:20 pm. I need to get a jet or a helicopter. If you know anyone who has one for sale cheap, let me know.

So that was my day. I’m heading out to take care of some personal business. I’ll check in with you all later.

Look what I found

So here I am, sitting around, chatting with some friends on the net and I’m looking through some old cd’s that I have and what do I find? Die Krupps – a tribute to Metallica. I forgot all about this cd. For those who don’t know it, it’s basically a techno style group covering Metallica songs… very cool and “techy”… it’s even kind of “geeky” (yeah, you know who you are, calling me geeky! butt-head!). Anyway, I’ll rip the cd and post the mp3’s on my site in a day or so for you to check out.
