		<title>It&#8217;s either the Law or it&#8217;s not&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got yet another speeding ticket yesterday &#8211; my first one in almost 3 years&#8230; at least I know it&#8217;s been more than 2 years.
I was running late for my kid&#8217;s Kindergarten graduation and then I got stuck in slow moving traffic out in the country. Finally when I got around the 10mph under drivers I got 2 minutes down the road and then at the bottom of a hill I was nailed by a state trooper. (By the way, those hats gotta go.)
Apparently I was going 76 in a 55. I really don&#8217;t know how fast I was going &#8211; and I&#8217;m not just saying that. I was not paying attention at all, but I will tell you that I was completely in control, there weren&#8217;t any other cars or people around, and even if I was going that fast I don&#8217;t really care. Why? Because almost nobody else does.
I just got back from a weekend in the NYC area  &#8211; driving around on Long Island, and the major highways that get you there (81 &#38; 87). People are in a hurry and they were weaving in and out of traffic &#8211; which I agree is a bad idea [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where is the Real Rochester Underground?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let me first start by saying that Friday Night / Early Saturday morning left a few friends of mine with the feeling that Rochester is a hopeless culture vacuum and that any good music or art that comes from this town will probably die here as well.
One of my pals was so bothered that he has now purchased the domain, &#8220;www.rochesterhatesmusic.com.&#8221;
When it&#8217;s up and running, &#8220;Rochester hates music&#8221; will be a site dedicated to exposing Rochester music and musicians that never ever ever ever ever get talked about or exposed in the other 2 or 3 places that you have a shot to be written about in. (Problem B is going to be getting traffic to the site so that these musicians are actually read about.)
Next I&#8217;d like to point out that in no way do the following opinions about to be expressed in this column represent Dragonflyeye.net or it&#8217;s affiliates, nor should the comments be taken out on any of the author&#8217;s affiliates &#8211; again, who are we kidding because in a culture vacuum nobody reads this stuff anyway&#8230;
There is a myspace page and a website called Rochester Underground, and frankly I see nothing underground about it.
I see a [...]]]></description>

		<title>An observation of our society</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Observations of daily life in the past month:
A rant…
1 in 5 Americans (adolescent and adults) has genital herpes. I thought it was bullshit so I looked it up… it’s true.
Apparently I may have about 5 diseases that I didn’t even know about and I should talk to my doctor. I think we’re about 3 months away from the drug companies inventing a pill to manage everything, but a cure for nothing.
They’re even pushing drugs on your kids now. If your kid acts out at school a few times they immediately jump to the conclusion that they need psycho-analysis and the need to be on temperament medication. Little kids shouldn’t be depressed enough to need a pill. Acting out on occasion doesn’t justify giving a kid Ritalin. Maybe some kids need that stuff but there’s a whole lot of them that really don’t. We are creating a society of numbed out legal drug addicts.
You know, maybe they should invent a pill for making you a good parent. Then your kids will turn out fine and maybe all the world’s problems would start to turn around. (Who am I kidding, there’s no money in that anyway.)
 
Gas prices are heading out of control [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jury Duty?! But Maaaaaaa&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So after years of throwing away &#8211; I mean, not receiving any sort of juror surveys &#8211; I finally got this official letter one day that stated I would be arrested and thrown in jail, as well a facing some mega-fine if I didn&#8217;t immediately fill out and return a survey to be entered into the pool of prospective jurors in NYS.
I seriously thought about throwing that one out too &#8211; I mean, not receiving it, but I confess &#8211; I chickened out.
Fast forward 4 or 5 months and now I&#8217;ve been officially summoned to serve. I must report to the hall of justice Monday in place of going to work. For the lovely waste of my time, I will be entitled to $40 under law.
&#8230;Oh boy, a whole $40, mister? Gee golly wiz&#8230;
My wife and I sat down last Sunday and made out a budget for the first time in 5 years. We are flat broke till September, when my kid starts going to 1st grade and I won&#8217;t need to spend almost $700 a month for day care. My wife and I both work now, and though I don&#8217;t make a lot of money at my job, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wow. I&#8217;m speechless&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s how out of touch I am&#8230; I just caught the news about the Obama speech on the Daily Show. I&#8217;ve been nerding it up screwing around in C++ for an RIT class since I got home from work &#8211; and having all kinds of computer issues with the school&#8217;s network and whatever.
Anyway, I catch small parts of clips from his Reverend preaching and small clips from Obama&#8217;s speech today. I&#8217;d also like to throw out that I agree with parts of the &#8220;God Damn America speech by the Rev.&#8221;
I have to throw it out there again that I think Obama is a great guy. He&#8217;s full of hope, optimism, sunshine, feel goods &#8211; he&#8217;s everything that&#8217;s been lacking in this country lately. However, I gotta say I&#8217;m still not convinced he&#8217;s got a lot of really solid ideas&#8230; I think he appeals to the part of us that thinks how we wish things could be. The part of me that has grown up a bit &#8211; beyond my years you may say &#8211; is saying that it&#8217;s just not how the world is.
Although I realize my ideals &#8211; my bleeding heart liberalness for example are likely out of step [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boss and me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bruce is here&#8230; He&#8217;s at the War Memorial &#8211; scratch that &#8211; The Blue Cross Arena playing a gig.
I am sitting on my couch writing this, sipping on a room temperature beer I&#8217;ve been nursing over an hour.
I realize that I am kinda self destructive. Maybe it warrants talking to a professional and not just blogging about it, but I seem to just not care about anything anymore.  I find myself unwilling to do the work it takes for the things I want&#8230; I have no enthusiasm for putting in effort at all.
From my dreams of making a career out of playing music and writing songs, to my day job, to buying parts for my motorcycle project, to college, to keeping in touch with friends&#8230; even being a husband and father.
I notice I just sort of go through each day like a horse dragging a cart and then at the end of the day I see the clock hit a certain time and I decide I better go try to sleep so I can get up and do it all over again.
My wife said the other night that she feels like I never take advantage of situations or I never [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wait&#8230; a third party?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Friday, Feb 29th:
Ok, so I&#8217;ve been sick as hell most of this week. It&#8217;s some weird combo of the flu, a bad cold, bronchitis which is accompanied by aches, pains, dizzy spells, lack of strength, the chills, a fever, profuse sweating, a cough like a big daddy seal &#8211; no not the kissed by a rose guy &#8211; and a dry burning feeling in my throat and sinuses.
So while I was back at home today by noon after a valiant attempt at going back to work this morning, I got to indulge in some napping while pushing fluids and channel surfing.
Somehow I ended up on CSPAN and guess who&#8217;s running again, this time as an independent&#8230; Ralph Nader.
Now, maybe it&#8217;s my illness, but I think this is cool. As I previously stated, I&#8217;m less than thrilled with the top choices this year. I&#8217;ve been kinda back and forth on Nader or third parties in general in the past 8 or 9 years. I bought into the Nader cost Gore Florida thing&#8230; In 2004 I didn&#8217;t want him to run because like most of you I sold my soul to anything that looked safe enough to beat Bush.
Well guess what. I&#8217;ve [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better late than never?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So that last post about Weese was obviously written a while back&#8230; I must have screwed something up because I noticed it never actually made it up on the site.
So better late than never. As relevance goes, since Kane-no will apparently be back on air, just pretend the whole thing was written about Weese!

		<title>Mutha Huckin Wease and WCMF</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ It&#8217;s a sad time right now for this community. In case you haven&#8217;t noticed, Rochester &#8211; rather Up-State&#8230; well, ok NY&#8230; ok, ok&#8230; The country? Fine &#8211; Fine, the world then. The world is in a bit of a slump.
I heard more depressing news about Kodak yesterday, I&#8217;m already sick of this years election process, I still find that nothing seems to work anymore, my going back to college experience has been interesting to say the least &#8211; there is a whole list of things on my mind right now that I could write about. Frankly kids, I just aint got the time no more&#8230;
Back to the main subject here, Wease love him or hate him has been a huge part of Rochester for as long as I can remember. I&#8217;m only 25, so here&#8217;s someone who&#8217;s been on the air most of my life. Growing up in the Rochester area, I checked out the monorail at X-mas, I swam in Lake Ontario &#8211; and it didn&#8217;t smell like poop, My Dad, my uncles, my grandfather, and their friends all worked at Kodak, and Wease was on WCMF &#8211; every day.
It really sucks to see another piece of this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why does nothing work anymore?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alright kiddies &#8211; this one&#8217;s set out to be a rant from the moment the spark flew from my already flaming and enraged head&#8230;
Technology is great for the most part. Everyone loves new stuff&#8230; and when technology makes things easier or simpler that&#8217;s a huge plus. But the bottom line is the God Damn shit has to work! It seems lately we&#8217;re on this path of better, cheaper, faster, need it yesterday and all it does is fuck everything up.
We are on a collision course to total revolution. Shit has to change&#8230; there must be a shift on the horizon or our country is going to be totally fucked.
What the fuck?! Is there no acount-a-fuckin-bility out there anymore?
Windows Vista &#8211; sucks. It&#8217;s not as fast most of the time, and stuff isn&#8217;t where I&#8217;m used to it being.
Office 2007 &#8211; sucks. Plainly because I can&#8217;t find anything without losing all kinds of time searching the tool bars. Other than that, I guess it&#8217;s not so bad.
Cell phones constantly fuck up, don&#8217;t get good service. I haven&#8217;t had issues lately, but I know people who have&#8230;
Software Maintenance Agreements&#8230; $4k a year &#8211; what a god damn rip off! What did we [...]]]></description>
