This is my wife Meghan. I love her. She reads this site every now and then just to see what craziness I’m talking about. The other day she complained that I never mention her. She was right, I never do. This is a terrible oversight because she’s such a huge part of my life. This picture was taken last week while we were visiting my mom in Dothan Alabama. Isn’t she awesome?!

This is old news for anyone in Athens, but for those outside, you should know that Blue Sky coffee has closed for good. This was the first establishment I ever went into when I first moved here back in 96. I’m sad to see it go.

My cousin is now blogging, and after reading it, I realize that there’s some interesting shit going on upstairs with him. What is this about a book? This is news to me. How is it that I read about this online and have never heard him speak of the subject? I’ll be keeping an eye on that boy.

I got a Sirius satellite radio system from my wife for Christmas. She gave it to me early because she wanted me to have it installed before we drove to Dothan for the holiday. It’s pretty bad ass. I’ve been listening to the college radio equivalent channel and I’ve not been disappointed. They even had some Drive By Truckers on there.

I was channel surfing today though and came across a rap channel. They were having a call in show. I turned there just in time to hear the following exchange:

“…yo yo yo I heard some shit about there being white mother fuckers listening to this shit. Hey Yo! Whitey! If you are hearing this, take a knife and stab yourself!”

“….a plastic knife yo…”

“….this shit ain’t for you, just do yourself a favor and shoot yourself in the fuckin head. White guys out ridin listenin to this shit…Fuck that.”

Damn. Imagine hearing the same shit only it was a white guy talking about a black guy. Something about that just fucking enrages me. I don’t know any white people that have done anything wrong to black people. Some guy with nothing better to do than live in the past. I bet this asshole on the radio has never in his life been maligned by whitey. So why the chip on the shoulder, yo? Gotta build that street cred so the gangstas will all go out and buy a Sirius radio and play the rap channel and laugh at the dirty words on the radio. eh. On the plus side, they had a rap channel called Backspin and the song on it when I flipped to it was the Pharcyde singing Passin Me By. I love that album.

I’ll have some pics of the Sirius install later. I’m pretty proud of it, but its too damn cold to go out and take pictures.

Many thanks to the guys at wordpress.org, who helped me sort out my image problem. This one is for them!

I was quoted on Instapundit today. He was talking about the Cloud in Athens and I threw my 2 cents in. Check it out. I just wish I’d posted on this site instead of emailing him!
