Alright- The new governor of New York is my hero. David Paterson was asked if he used marijuana in the past. He said yes. He was then asked if he used cocaine in the past. He said yes. The interviewer was obviously in shock.
It's not great that he did cocaine and marijuana in the past. That doesn't matter. What is so great is that he actually believes it doesn't matter. If more public figures would just answer questions honestly, then in a few short years their answers would no longer draw criticism. It would logically follow that the questions would then stop coming if the readers are no longer excited by the answers.
My phone is no longer working. This makes me very happy. I am looking forward to stepping out of the dark ages and into a telephone with a camera. I have solicited my boss for the top of the line phone available with direct connect. The requirement of direct connect seriously limits my phone choices. There is no telephone available with a slide out keyboard or dual direction hinge that allows for a full keyboard. However, this phone would be a huge step up for myself. This link sucks. If you actually care, then scroll down to the deluxe ic 902 model. http://nextelonline.nextel.com/NASApp/onlinestore/en/Action/DisplayPhones?filterString=Direct_Connect_Best&id12=UHP_PhonesTab_Link_WalkieTalkiePhones
Best of all, my company pays my phone bill. Hell- I never see the bill. The down side to this setup is that the number and the phone belong to my company. When I quit, I will have to get a new phone with a new telephone number. I am also going to have to copy all of my phone numbers down on paper and re-enter them into my new phone. I'm sure there's a way to import my contacts to my computer and them export them to a different model phone, but I betcha that I could do it manually faster than I could figure that shit out digitally.
Telephonically speaking, these phones are old technology anyhow. As soon as wireless networks are widespread enough to offer coverage in most areas, we can all just email each other instead of calling one another. Email is free. If I could have a small device that could connect to wireless networks and I could then access my email from anywhere: then why would I pay money to a celluar phone company every month? Spencer bought just such a device, but alas; there just aren't enough accessible wireless networks nor other people with such devices. Perhaps the iphone will bridge this gap.
If Portland will get off their collective city employee ass and get the citywide wireless network functioning properly, we could at least email all the time in Portland. Whatever, I just want a new phone without having to pay for it.
Hopworks Urban Brewery opens their restaraunt/Pub today. I will be there because I care. I actually like their beer, and their pub has a whole side that is no minors:all hours all days. Is there any sweeter sound to a barfly's ears? I think not. Your kid is annoying me. Please take your kid away from the bar and into your car.

Don't forget he also cheated on his wife, admitted it, and had obviously already been through that with her. Weird place for governors, that NY...
And email ain't never gonna replace phone calls. Just ain't gonna happen. But I agree on the need for accessing porn and messages and message porn anywhere in the city limits.
Better sounds to a barfly's ears? That's a tough one and a welcome one. I prefer to blow smoke in their cute little faces but, once that ban's in effect, I'll just have to curse more loudly or tell more lewd stories to drive away children.
