Trying to think what tomorrows music entry will be and then I decided to make it a split entry.. Tomorrows entry will be the first half of that worlds most dangerous party, or disc or tape one.. So I'll get the artists videos of those songs as best I can, might have to do some of the songs myself.. But remembering back in '99 when I went out new years eve and listened to that tape.. Might be the best time I've ever had not being with anyone, just cruising and listening to that tape.. Because I had to be home and back to town a few hours later to work I couldn't be out with anyone... Couldn't risk it.. Whatever that means..
Watched a few things on the streaming player yesterday.. Things are settling down a bit now and I'm seeing a few channels that are repeated somewhat on others.. The Huffington Live channel is fully represented on the AOL ON channel so it is gone.. Other channels that don't have anything of interest to me are getting deleted.. I set Amazon and VUDU to be on, but just to see what they really do have on there.. They aren't full subscription channels.. Well Amazon is I guess but vudu is a true pay per view site. Hulu plus is a pay site that runs commercials on the programming sort of like their computer access version.. So why have it?? I've read where some people got so irritated by the commercials that they got out long before the trial period ended.. So what do people want, to pay more for the channel like cable and have no commercials or pay less with commercials on there?? I keep putting off doing the trial period because I'm afraid I will get hooked on it and want that as my second paid channel.. Doubtful that would happen.. On the streaming media sites.. Streaming media as in my media from the computer, I am yet to figure out how these any will work.. I can't get them to go and then checked for a stand alone media player and for less than thirty dollars I can get one so I think that will be the route I will go.. Being able to watch so many shows that way is why the Sony streaming media player was so attractive this past summer.. The channels Roksboks and Plex were the two that showed the most promise to do this.. Right now only Plex has a chance to prove itself but I will only try for so long before giving up.. I truely only got the Roku for the main site of Netflix, the rest is just gravy truth be told.. And there is plenty of gravy!!!
It's this part of the holiday season that is that purgatory feel to it.. Between the most anticipated day (Christmas) and the dread of new year and the hope that things will get better.. Well shortly before the elections last month they talked about the fiscal cliff thing and everyone said they will have to take care of that really quick.. Really quick isn't in the congress vocabulary.. They proved that with their debt ceiling debate.. I knew we would be going over it, and so here it is just literally hours before it happens.. So much could go wrong in the next few months.. But I'm sure they will "kick the can" down the road, not face the true fact that in order for them to not straddle our kids and grand kids with this debt that they will have to actually try to fix it now.. It won't fix over night, it will take many things to fix things.. It didn't grow to this point overnight and it won't get fixed really quick and easy.. They keep blaming Obama for his spending but forget that Bush got us into two wars without paying for it then.. We are paying for them now and will for a long time.. But why can't they try to fix things.. The tea party republicans "won't raise taxes on anyone".. Actually that isn't true at all, Romney said he would cut taxes on everyone, but before he said that he said he would raise the taxes on the middle class and cut more from the rich.. When they say Obama was after just a two percent increase tax rate for the rich I thought he should have gone after more like seventeen and then gone down to the two percent unless he could have gotten more.. But there will be no haggling, he wants 2% and more than likely won't even get that.. Oh and cut the social security .. Good idea.. I know if I were younger I probably wouldn't care about that.. But the young should care, everyone gets older, you don't stay young forever.. Wish as you might, everyone gets old.. It sucks but that is life.. Pay attention to what the crooks in D.C. are doing..
