iTunes, USC-UNC and Chain E-Mails
iTunes is getting me angry, It doesn't have AC/DC, it doesn't have the Beatles, it doesn't have a lot of great classics. It doesn't even have what is probably 2Pac's best song, Changes. (see below). It also has a long history of putting the best songs from movie soundtracks as "album only" forcing anyone who wants to buy the song to b
uy the whole album. (examples: It's hard out there for a pimp [Hustle and Flow], and A Dream [Freedom writers]) The program is a great partner to the iPod. THese problems cause people to look for other alternatives to attaining the music. This causes Illegal Activities and losses of profits. I hope iTunes fixes this problem soon... If it doesn't fix these too than the peoples need to attain classics will force their hand. I, mself don't plan on doing anything, but I sm sure that these activities by the company has caused some activity on the wrong side of the law.
We saw a great showdown today in the NBA. After my Lakers lost to the Suns. (Big Surprise!!!) There was a scoring duel between Ben Gordon of the Bulls and Michael Redd of the Bucks. Gordon had 48 points while Redd had 52. Gordon came out with the win, but it provided a great show. It sounded like a great game. Gordon had a career high, he is going to keep getting better. He is leading the bulls in scoring, from the BENCH! If he doesn't win the sixth man of the year award there 
is something wrong with the system. His jumpshot is a thing of beauty. This guy is definitely up there with Kobe as one of the best Fourth quarter closers in the game. Of course Michael Redd is a rising star too. He should have been in the all-star game this year but got robbed by the coaches. His team is one of the worst this year (This because of an Injury bug that has plauged it all season.) but he just keeps on scoring and competing every night, displaying one of the best shooting strokes in the NBA today.

just finished reading the book "Everything Bad is Good for You" by Steven Johnson. It is About how today's pop culture isn't going the tubes like so many people claim. It explains how it is getting more complicated and challinging to the Brain than the same culture from 10 or 20 years. It has whole sections on how Video Games, Movies, Television and the Internet have contributed into making todays pop culture more mentally challenging and sophisticated. He makes several valid points and backs them up with good evidence mixed together with great anecdotes and wisecracks. You should read this book.

time i have always loved following UNC Basketball. That in no way takes away from my Love of USC. When they play I hope Usc beats them up and down the court. But whenever they play teams like Duke I root for UNC. I picked UNC in 2005 and I want them to lose to USC in the Final Four this year. (I can dream right...)Anyways, if anything, UNC would be second in my list of favorite Colleges in the terms of Division 1 Sports. It is a distant second though. Anyways, They beat duke again. They did not come out unscathed, but that just adds to the lore of the Duke-UNC
rivalry. I'm not sure what makes me like UNC so much. Maybe its the classy baby blue uniforms. Maybe its the rich history in its rivalry against Duke, In the moments that have passed through its gym and its position in the History of Basketball itself. Maybe its Dean Smith, Sam Perkins, James Worthy, Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Phil Ford and some guy by the name of Michael Jordan. IT probably is a combination of all of those.

When I heard that Free-Agent Ahman Green signed with the H
ouston Texans, I was shocked I was entirely sure that he would re-sign with the Pack. However, that is not what happened. I hope the Packers do the right thing and draft Marshawn Lynch if he is mercifully available when they come up to draft. It was him or Dwayne Jarrett even before this happened but if they don't draft him, or manage to pull off a miracle to get adrian Peterson i will be utterly surprised. Green put together a pretty productive season in '06 while most of the country was hypnotized by the artistry of LaDanian Tomlinson. He didn't come close to LT but, nevertheless, He had a good season. I hope we can get similar production from Lynch or whomever we manage to get.

They waste Inbox space. Most are just people that have nothing else to do so they just make a chain e-mail to see how many people it gets to. Its just their way to spend time. A smaller group of them can be threatening to the health of your computer. I didn't have any strong feelings on the subject until my sister Sara started flooding my Inbox. It got on my nerves and since then I have been campaigning to make it a Felony to create and forward Chain E-mails. It hasn't worked but I'll keep trying.
Juan Pablo Montoya won his first race in American stock Car Racing...in Mexico. It was in NASCAR's Busch Series. He won by spinning his own teammate in the 72nd Lap. It was not exactly the Daytona 500, but his reckless and fun driving was a sign of future things to come for the colombian (yeah Baby!) driver. keep an eye on him... He's gonna be good.
