This blogger made this statement in regards to the Michael Richards “incident” recently…
“The first amendment was never designed to protect popular opinion. It was implemented to protect those whose moral compass deviates from our own. There’s real beauty in that and if you can’t realize it, then I have the right to call you a f*****g moron.”

I don’t disagree with some of those takes!

LONDON, England (Reuters) — Criminal gangs using hijacked computers are behind a surge in unwanted e-mails peddling sex, drugs and stock tips.

The number of “spam” messages has tripled since June and now accounts for as many as nine out of 10 e-mails sent worldwide, according to U.S. email security company Postini.

Long Break

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Well, there has been a long break in posting here. I took a long break with quite a few things as business picked up and life took over. A relaxed Thanksgiving weekend allowed me time to get back here and post my excuses.

After Virginia Beach RNR Half I took some time off from running. Mostly to allow my back to heal and return to normal. Thirty days into my “no running” experiment my back felt equally as bad as when I started. This is a pain that radiates and in some instances it is unbearable. I was thinking that my time off was not going to help and I would need some real medical attention. I stuck it out and about a week later things seemed to start getting better. Now, a full 9 weeks later, I feel great. Only a little back “annoyance” remains. No pain, no craziness. I have started to run again keeping it very easy and less than 4 miles.

Check back, big plans in the works!
