Blog template 2007-05-11 03:34:00 So, my blog has been going now a couple months, and I'm not quite sold on the template
just yet. So I thought I'd request comments and see what people think, is the black motif a bit overboard, or should something lighter work better? Drop me a comment and let me know what ya think. I may change the layout and see how things go.Anyhow let me know what ya think.Also Friday is around the corner so I will go ahead and wish everyone a great weekend, and don't forget Mother's Day coming up.

Happy Weekend 2007-05-27 15:12:00 Well its a Sunday afternoon, haven't posted in few days so thought I'd post and say hello and hope everyone is having a great weekend. Also an early happy memorial day. It's been quiet lately, I did see my cardiologist on Thursday, and so far everything seems good, was released to start excersize but the weird thing is he scheduled our next appointment in 6 months. I thought that was a bit weird. I do see my local doc this Tuesday though, which I see monthly pretty much.Anyhow thanks for stopping by, and have a great Memorial day weekend. Read more:Happy

Ed Brown Tax Protester 2007-06-08 16:09:00 I've recently read about Ed Brown
and his fight against the I.R.S. The story is absolutely amazing, yet scary. My prayers are with him and his family. For more information on what has been going on, this mainly started around January 2007, and as of June 7th it seems the government is getting ready to storm his home. Here you can read an open letter from Ed Brown dates February 1, 2007:from Keene Free PressThe latest news from WikipediaJune 2007 * On June 7, police, SWAT teams, and armored vehicles are seen gathering in a field near the Browns' home. United States Marshal Stephen Monier confirms that one Brown supporter was detained near the Browns' property.[18] Several sources later identify the Browns' supporter as a man named Danny Riley and state that he was detained while walking the Browns' dog, Zoe.[19] Monier's office later releases a press statement indicating that the government agents were not raiding the Browns' home but in the area simply to serve a warrant to t

News from Dark Age of Camelot 2007-06-19 22:35:00 I was selected to become the new Heretic class teamlead for Dark Age of Camelot
. I'm very proud that I was given that chance. I've been playing game since shortly after release and have always been a "Fanboy" so to speak. And I look forward to helping the class out as much as I can.Some of you that read the blog probably have no idea what I'm talking about so for those that don't know, Dark Age of Camelot is a MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). There website is: http://www.darkageofcamelot.com And their game news site is http://www.camelotherald.comThey also have free trials you can download and give the game a try if you have never played and are interesting in giving it a shot, you can find the links to their trial downloads above.
Ehronn in Molvik 2007-06-21 21:54:00 This is a video of my reaver character back when he was in Molvik, which for those that don't know dark age of camelot (mmorpg), molvik is a battleground for level 35-39 players to pvp. It's a little old but enjoy! The reaver is now of course level 50 and I posted a recent video of him a couple weeks back but here is a link to my most current videohttp://qoaa.blogspot.com/2007/05/dark-age-of-camelot-video.html
Thursday Boredom 2007-06-28 12:40:00 Not much to say really, just thought I'd post on the ol' blog today for an update. Other than playing dark age of camelot, posting on various forums, and the general surfing the web type of stuff I haven't really been doing much of anything. I've been reading a lot, and chatting with friends. Little anxious about an upcoming doctor's appointment next week. They want to do x-ray's to check on the stints that were placed in my heart after my heart attack. So I'm crossing my fingers that all is well. I found a download of the Michael Moore documentary Sicko, and I can understand 100% what those people go through having no insurance myself and having medical bills since my heart attack coming in the mail totaling upwards of 54 thousand dollars that I have no way of paying. I'm hoping my application with disability will be accepted so that I have some way to get medical help and to pay for all this. It really sucks being broke and unable to work at the moment.Anyhow the weekend is a Read more:Thursday

Had my follow-up doctor's appointment today 2007-07-14 01:11:00 Well was crossing fingers for no bad news, and in some ways I got both good news and bad news.Will start off with the good news, after checking my heart out, the doctor believes all is well on that front, sounded good, great blood pressure at the moment, etc.As some that may have read my older posts or if you haven't just go threw my older posts if interested, will find I do have a herniated disc in my lower back. Well for past 3 to 4 weeks I've been having this left shoulder pain when I sit for long periods of time or walk for 10 mins or more, the pain would start off at front of shoulder area and migrate to the back right under the shoulder blade but a little to the right.So my doc believes after running a couple tests that I may have an upper back problem perhaps a slipped disc causing a pinched nerve. He gave me this shot of which I forgot exactly what it was, I do remember him saying it was a steroid with a numbing agent or something, anyhow he located the bundle of nerves that Read more:appointment
Be careful asking for raise! 2007-08-01 10:11:00 Come across the bit of odd news, although a bit funny in nature, it did lead to tragic events. This story makes one think twice about asking
for a raise
at work. And strangley enough, this all takes place in my home state.The headlines: Boss Killed Employees After They Asked For RaiseFULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Police say a business owner who was having financial problems shot and killed two of his employees after they asked him for a raise.You can read the full story here at http://www.wsbtv.com/news/13766304/detail.htmlSo next time you ask your boss for a raise.... Be careful. haha
Alana Davis - Crazy (Video) 2007-08-06 22:20:00 Not much going on this week as usual, Seeing doctor twice a month for the moment, due to slip disk in my back for steroid shots. Anyhow this is an old song from my college days, I really enjoy, and hopefully you will as well.Alana Davis

New 'Storm' Virus, be careful! 2007-08-15 20:57:00 Was looking through some security websites, checking up on the latest news and such and came across this article about a new "worm" called Storm
. This thing sounds pretty nasty. Some information.The misnamed Storm Worm isn't actually a worm; it's a bot, used to corral infected computers together into a network called a botnet, which can then be issued commands by a central criminal controller. One common command is to send vast amounts of spam.AlsoThe Storm Worm is capable of launching DoS attacks, and has already been used for them. So the huge rise in the malware's spread may mean that its creator is getting ready to expand his revenue stream and rent out his botnet for powerful DoS attacks.You can find the complete article here at Networkworld.comSo make sure your virus scanners and adware software are updated and use firefox in my opinion. Internet explorer usage is just a step away from reformatting and reinstalling your system in my opinion.
Terrorstorm Documentary 2007-08-19 09:47:00 Came across this documentary by radio show host Alex Jones of Austin, Texas. It's very interesting to say the least, and has a lot of shocking claims. It was quite "educational" to put it one way.About the documentary from Alex's own site:This powerful documentary explores the mindset of the average brainwashed Westerner. It delves deeply in tothe systems of control which have been scientifically-crafted to imprison their minds and keep their eyes closed to the realities of the world around them.You can visit Alex Jones' website by going to http://www.infowars.com Read more:Documentary
Too much free time 2007-08-18 16:19:00 I guess you could call it, 'too much free time', or you could call it boredom, I don't know, but being temporarily disabled due to heart attack in April, herniated disc in my back, and a pinched nerve in my upper back has given me lots of free time on my hands.So along with this blog that I update from time to time, I also read quite a lot, and enjoy online games, while waiting to hear back from SSI to see if I am approved for disability or not. So it kinda got me thinking, about adding a new hobby to try out perhaps, I'm still undecided but was thinking of starting a podcast. Of course that's where I kinda draw a blank.I'm not sure what topic to discuss, I could really do a range of topics from online gaming to state of our health care from a southern poor man's perspective. I guess there are many many podcasts of those such topics. But hey, what's one more?Anyhow, just thinking 'out loud' so to speak. If anyone has any podcast software suggestions or getting started drop me
Happy Monday 2007-08-27 14:11:00 Happy Monday
, haha. Anyhow, not much been going on. Had a pile of doctor bills show up again, most are threats to turn me over to collections, which I guess will have to be since I'm still waiting to hear back from disability to see if I'm approved or not. I wish I had insurance, this is killing me. Speaking of docs, I do have my local doctor's appointment next week, I'm hoping he can increase my pain medicine since my back pain has been giving me more trouble lately than usual.By the way I did put a paypal link on the right side of my page, I'm not usually one to beg for donations, but if you feel you could help a poor guy out it would be much appreciated and go toward medical bills and Internet bills so that I can keep this blog going at least, and I can put up an advertisement for your site if you want as well.Well, thought I'd update things on this Monday afternoon. Not much else going on this week, other than surviving this nasty heat wave in the south.So stay cool, and h Read more:Happy
Junkie XL - Beauty Never Fades 2007-09-22 10:10:00 Absolutely love this song, unfortunately I couldn't find any videos for it, other than it was used for an Eve online promo video.

A Bit of Heretic News 2007-09-11 10:12:00 I have opened up a new forum for our fellow Heretic
s. For those not familiar for which I speak, Heretic is a class from the game Dark Age of Camelot. Since I've become the teamlead for this great, fun class I thought I would setup a forum for fellow gamers of the heretic to post ideas, share class bugs, different class specs, realm ability setups, and all around tactics. So if you are a Heretic or have played a Heretic in Dark Age of Camelot, feel free to stop by and enjoy our forums.The forums can be reached at http://camelot.bluecherry.netThe board is an ongoing work, and is under construction, but things are ready to roll out. So enjoy, and hope to meet you there.And as the CSR's would say...Thank you for playing Dark Age of Camelot!Have a great week all!
Dumb Criminal 2007-09-08 14:39:00 Surfing around this weekend I came across yet another odd yet funny news article. The headline is what caught my attention. Dealer calls cops after pot stash stolenSANTA CRUZ, Calif. - A marijuana dealer telephoned police after armed thieves stole his quarter-pound stash of pot. The 19-year-old Felton man told police that two men, one of them armed with a handgun, robbed him at gunpoint as he sat in his car on Tuesday night.Full article from Reuters on Yahoo news.It either takes guts or stupidity, but still a hilarious situation regardless.
