I just got back from the last of the star wars movies, “Revenge of the Sith”; I went with 2 of my friends. And I was very pleasantly surprised; I had very low expectations for the movie. The first 2 were not that great, but I went to see the 3rd because well it is[…]

My Betta (Strustrup) seams to be adapting to his new home now; he is starting to swim around the whole tank now. He seams to be still exploring his new home. The fish in the other tank is starting to get use to the new setup of the plants since I did a major redecoration[…]

It looks like bob O’Connor has won. I got a strong feeling that he is just WRONG for the city, but the sad thing is since he is the democrat nomination he will win in November, but one thing is for sure, this O’Connor will be out campaigning against that O’Connor, I doubt it will[…]

Well I got home from work and worked on moving my Betta from the 2.5 gallon tank to the 10 Gallon tank, he is not really happy with me right now. While I was at it, I did a lot of aquatic gardening, I took a lot of plants out of the 20 gallon tank[…]

I found a list of blogs by Lutherans It would be nice if it was LCMS centered but oh well. I submitted my site, I hope that it gets listed. I wonder if they plan to do some syndication like the Pittsburgh Bloggers site does.

Well I did it, I voted today; I went down and voted on the 3 things my voice would matter in. The 2 referendums and the special election for the state senate. Being a republican I did not bother to vote on the primaries, it not like it would have mattered, the republicans never win[…]

I checked into Sunday’s scanner net this week, it was fun, it lasted a bit longer then it was planned to last by the net control. I got some good information, I was wondering about what frequency the TV stations use to communicate to their choppers, and to the people that they send out to[…]

I just read about the other referendum on WPXI’s web site. After reading the article and seeing a talk show on the race (here) I don’t think this is a good referendum. Yes cutting jobs in government does sound good, but the jobs they want to cut, are important ones, and I don’t thing they[…]
