I was listening to the radio on the way to work this morning and learned the latest recount results for the Washington governors race (LINK).  It seems the democratic candidate has taken the lead by 8 votes. The original tally had the Republican candidate up by 261 votes, but after the first recount that was dwindled to 42 votes. This has been an insanily close race and I doubt either one of the parties will be happy with the final result. What is more disturbing, is that they have had three different outcomes!! I have yet too see the press mention this. Surely, I am not the only one that sees this as outragous. On that note, I hope everybody sees this internet documentary (LINK), no matter what your political affiliation is.
    I am sure everybody has seen the news coverage of the crazy women, who murder another woman and stole the fetus (LINK).  They said the women took the baby back to her home town and told everybody, including her husband that she had the baby. She is now behind bars and facing the death penalty. But can somebody explain too me how her husband didn't know something was "fishy". He either has to be a complete dumb ass or he knew about it. Considering the police did not charge him with anything, I am going to go with complete dumbass.

A little tribute to America's favorite war criminal..... Rummy

    I love talk radio and I am not ashamed to admit it.  When I was a kid I used to get so pissed off when my parents would listen to talk radio. It was one of those necessary tortures of growing up...kind of like shopping with mom and church.Yuk!! But like all human beings and to my own chagrin, I started to transform into my parents as I got older.  Along with politics and reading, love of AM radio was one the character defects I grew into.
    But there is a big problem with my love of talk radio... I am a liberal and I live in Georgia.  We have 3 major talk radio stations and every conservative that has an opinion gets some air time.  It is so bad; we have Rush Limbaugh on 2 channels at the same time.  The rest of the hours of the day are filled in by the likes of Bill Oreilly, Shawn Hannity, Laura Ingram, and Michael Savage. Plus the local Rush Limbaugh spin-off, you know who I am talking about. Every town in America has their local personality, which does nothing but repeat what Rush said on his show.  
    If it wasn't for NPR, I might actually listen to some of these clowns longer than 5-minutes.

Ok.. I feel better now that I got that off my chest...

Current Mood: calm

    Well, it is official. My life is complete chaos. Work has been a war path lately. We just have to much to do and to many deadlines to meet, with not enough people. By the time I get off everyday, my mind is completely baked. I am starting to hear the constant hum of servers, even when I am not at work. I am banking on the old saying "this to shall past". I just hope I don't lose it and go ape shit in the mean time.
    Another saying is "Divorce is hard". This is a complete understatement. "Divorce is so grueling, it feels like if you shit bobwire and then clean your ass with rubbing alcohol" would be more like it. Obviously, you can tell mine has been anything but less than torture.  I never understood what an emotional hangover was, untill I started going through my divorce. Some days I feel like I have been dragged behind a car, by going through all the emotions and confrontations that come with divorce. What makes it so hard, is realizing that you love and care about somebody deeply, but no matter what you do or try, it will never work. But hey, "this to shall past".

Current Mood: depressed

    My weekend has been relatively boring. I have been battling sinus problems and wake up every morning with suicidal headaches. I have a doctor’s appointment this week, so hopefully he will give me something for my head. Good news, my Falcons slaughtered the Raiders today, and clinched the NFC South division. The offense is still unimpressive for the most part, but the defense is awesome.
    Most of my free time this weekend was spent working on my new web page. I look to have it up sometime this week. Oh yeah, I wrote a quick and dirty perl script to tally the number of instances of the virus we had during the outbreak. The result was 485,000 instances... Unbelievable..

Current Mood: happy

Hmm...My calendar showed up after I made my first post. I wish I would have figured that out sooner...

Current Mood: distressed

 I finally had some time today to work on my livejournal.  I never realized it would be such a hassle to move to a new blog system. Anyways, I am starting to really like LJ, but for some reason  I cannot get my calendar and some of my other options to display in a component box.  I put in a request, so I am sure I will get it working sooner or later.

  We have finally cleaned up the virus outbreak at work. What a freakin nightmare!! We finally had to get a custume Dat. file from Macfee to get it cleaned up. The technicians at Mcafee, said we were the first to be hit by this particular virus.  Talk about luck!. We just spent over $100,000 on upgrading our virus and security systems and we get brought down by a new virus that nobody has never seen before...argh... What really makes me mad, is that some snot-nosed, 13 year old, with telescope glasses, from the Ukraine or somewhere, wrote the damn thing...
