In an effort to continue the much more exciting stuff thats not about me span..
Much to my dismay, it appears that Christopher Eccleston has quit his Doctor Who role after just one episode of the new series was screened. Im deeply troubled by this turn of events. The first episode, which has been given stellar reviews from both fans and previous Doctors, stayed true to the series while adding a new dimension to the Doctors character with a gritty and “dark” flair.
Personally, of all the previous Doctors I liked Tom Baker best, even if he was the “quirky” and “offbeat” Doctor complete with a robotic dog side-kick named K9. Another thing that Baker had on his side (off screen) was Douglas Adams, who Im sure is due most of the credit for Bakers seven year role, the longest of all Doctors. But, Eccleston truly brought out a different kind of Doctor, haggard and crude by his experiences traveling through space and time, aged into an arrogant old man on the edge of insanity, tired of saving the universe countless times without so much as a pat on the back. All while still offering that outsider perspective on the whole of human culture as it stands in a most humourous way.
Of course no Doctor Who is complete without his young bombshell assistant. This series we have Billie Piper, who if Im not mistaken is the youngest of all the previous assistants at age 23 (Lalla Ward was 28). Piper and Eccleston made a truly unique match in the fact that shes a witty and powerful character that doesn’t stand in the Doctors shadow and even occasionally returns quips and mockery the likes of which no other assistant has in the past.
Bill Nighy, no not the science guy, whos was originally going to be the new Doctor may come back to be the Doctor for next season. Which on the whole isn’t bad, but I really like what Eccleston is doing.
Of course, if you’re not a Doctor Who fan all of this makes no sense to you, in which case click here to ride the wiki.
Wow, I think I even like my page more when I don’t talk about myself. How sad is that!
If you think this post is stupid and ridiculous, you’re right!
Brian Welch the former guitarist of Korn, recently turned Jesus rocker, has a death wish “message from god” for 50 cent. Use your “Head”, if you keep aiming to save 50 Cent you’re going to be delivering his reply to god personally. Now that 50 and the Game called a truce I’m sure he’s more than willing and ready to go cross-genre and pop a cap in yo’ ass instead. But first, I hope he makes you look like a bitch in his upcoming album, & I can’t wait to hear his take on your Jesus tattoo that prevents you from masturbating.
I don’t think 50 follows the “don’t shoot the messenger” virtue.
For a guy who spends most of his days extolling the virtues of heaven, Brian “Head” Welch seems hell-bent on reaching out to 50 Cent. Or at least making him really, really angry.
“The Big Guy speaks through me a lot when I write, and I have a song for 50 Cent I wrote in the Holy Land. I feel like it’s a personal letter to 50 from God, so I’m going to give it to him personally and see what his reaction is,” Welch wrote. “If it’s a positive reaction and he’s willing to talk to me, then I’m not gonna release it, but if the reaction is not positive, I’m going to share it with the world.”
Welch said he doesn’t fear retribution from 50; rather, he feels protected by the fact that he’s merely acting as an emissary between God and the former Curtis Jackson.
Anyway, you can listen to the song here and read the lyrics here. I was never a Korn fan, and I’m certainly not impressed with shitty synth-industrial-esque songs about god. If Welch is gods messenger, 50 must be Darwins.
I had to hunt down Jacob the Jewler in NYC to drop off this personal letter to 50. I also had to buy a piece of jewelry just to get back to see Jacob. It was a diamond cross and at least I gave it to an angel named Lisa who made my little girl the sweetest kid on earth. It was THE best trip to NYC of my life. It’s funny how much you appreciate things when your happy and smart. You won’t be anywhere near as smart as you can be if don’t walk with the LORD.
Happy and smart? Dude, you just spent thousands of dollars on diamond cross to have someone deliver a letter to the guy thats probably going to kill you! That has to be considered suicide on some level.
It certainly seems that my page is becoming more of a traditional blog than an online journal in the fact that I rarely talk about myself. I can only assume it’s for the best, it’s probably more interesting this way.
I watched the first episode of NBC’s The Office, the piss poor rip-off of BBC’s hilarious The Office. I didn’t laugh the entire time, not even once, not even on the inside.

A Coder in Courierland - A programmer leaves his cubicle for the life of a bike messenger in Toronto. A truly amazing retrospective, in fact very enjoyable if you’ve read Virtual Light. Personally, it makes me want to crack open Snow Crash again but, I don’t have even a modest book collection here in Mexico.
The ride up Yonge is fun every time. There are plenty of red lights that it is perfectly safe to blitz and there are always morons stopped in the middle of the road with their blinkers on. Not to mention wide sidewalks full of flesh pylons. It’s a fast-paced obstacle course with all of the thrill and a tenth the risk of playing chicken with beamers on Richmond or Adelaide. It takes me nine minutes to get to Bloor. The light at Bloor is always red when I get there. Always. I stop in front of City Optical, I glance to see if 212 or 164 is having a smoke in front of 2 Bloor West. Chances are good that one of them is. It’s winter now, so the seventy year old man with the karaoke machine, the car battery and the “Better than Viagra” T-Shirt isn’t singing Sinatra in front of 2 Bloor East. Give it another month or so.
And yes, if you have even the slightest bit of charm, you will have plenty of opportunity to pick up hot receptionists.
