Rogue Traders: I was looking for some music recently and ran into something by a band called Rogue Traders.  They've got some pretty cool songs (although the music seems to be recycled).  Anyway, you should check out some of their video (I'd suggest Watching You and Voodoo Child)

Israel and stuff: You know, I feel for the palestinians, I really do but honestly, what do you think the US would do if terrorists fired hundreds of rockets every week from mexico into the US and all the mexican government did was say "sorry, it's individuals that we don't control"?  Sure, Israel's response may be seen as disproportionate but c'mon, the ONLY thing those fucking idiots need to do is STOP ATTACKING ISRAEL and get on with their fucking lives.  Until they do that nobody in their right mind will setup a business in gaza.  Hell, the freaking palestinian government won't even recognize Israel.  LOOK MORONS, nobody's going to take the land away from the Israelis and you guys sure as hell can't. It's time to just accept that they're there and quit starting fights you can't possibly win.

Mobo/CPU: Well, I ordered a new CPU.  Sadly I had to settle on a 90nm dual core, P4.  It's a good deal for right now but of course later this month Conroe comes out and let me just point out...AMD processors suck total ass compared to the Conroe.  Conroe's more energy efficient, cooler, up to 60% faster AND CHEAPER.  If you're looking to upgrade soon...give it a few weeks and pick yourself up one of those $200 (or cheaper) conroe dual cores.  I'd wait but if I did I can guarantee none of the money would be left and anyway, it's more than I can afford.
