When Geocities was cancelled I felt there was a huge hole in the market for a free , easy to use web builder and web host for casual users and noobs. Then I had just discovered WIX.com almost by fluke , I noticed the link another users webpage , clicked and I am here ... I tested it. Its pretty damn good. I will further test later on my Ubuntu to see if its Linux friendly but why wouldnt it be.
Here's my first sample webpage....
http://www.wix.com/gordy90210/Gordylocke
Wix.com
its free , its WYSIWYG and its full flash!
Pros: Everything. You can embed YOutube , upload pics and music , you can install Paypal if you want a small business web , ...etc Absolutely amazing. The more I screw around with this website the more I fall in love with it.
Superb control panel for web tools , many many toys to play with. It also has more advanced settings if you're an experienced web builder and want to custom set your page. Definitley its noob friendly.
Who would I recommend this for: anybody. Personal web , informational , educational , small business ,..etc I cant say enough.
Cons: Nothing. Its a fair system , you want a full URL and no WIX ad bar ,then pay. The free version is pretty damn good.
You only get 500mb storage space , though considering Geocities offered 15mb per account , this could also be viewed as a "pro". 500mb is great for starters and 1gb bandwidth , which is good for public/private sites with casual traffic.
RATINGS: 9.5/10.. I mean I don't even know why I penalized them .5 for a free web host , website , web builder... its simply amazing and I'm ecstatic this website exist. Its exactly what the market needs , a new "geocities". I guess the one thing is their own ad at the bottom but its bloody free , what do you expect? I wouldn't have found this site if not for that free ad at the bottom of another user. They have typical paid accounts to eliminate the ad and get a personal URL and more space(which isnt as big of a deal as it use to be)

Fuck Jay Leno
This guy is an overrated douche bag. He's not funny anymore , his comedy expired when I got pubes. Also he's a prick. When Johnny Carson left the Tonight Show it was because he was done with it , when Jay Leno left it was because Jay Leno wanted more money as we learn now. He wanted to reinvent the late night talk show and make it prime time again.. WRONG! you're not the guy thats gonna do it you walking mutant.
He's screwing around with so many people's lives all because he wants his spotlight back. Its not like he would've starved at 10PM ,its just he was fading into a mid tier name , he panicked and pulled the shoot less than a year into it. What a coward. Walk away with your dignity but Leno is gonna turn his non fans into haters like me now.. I just wasnt a fan of his before , now I cant stand his fucking face.
I WILL BOYCOTT JAY LENO FOREVER. Fuck Jay Leno.
I didnt watch his Tonight Show to begin with , definitely ignored his 10PM show.. and now? fuck that shit. LETTERMAN HARDCORE. Maybe in a way I should thank Leno caz I was caught in a bind trying to choose between Letterman and Conan..now its 100% easy choice.
YOu are an moron if you watch Leno , you are a supporter of a snivelling rat if you watch Leno , and quite simply you have no taste in comedy if you watch Leno.. he sucks.
Conan makes statement
What did I tell ya.. notice he has nothing nice to say about the giant chin from hell? notice he's trying to be classy but he's pissed off. Notice how many shows this effects , how many staff members .. all for the arrogant chinhole. Thats right , Im calling him a CHINHOLE. Fucking CHINHOLE Leno.

Why the fuck do we censor swear words still?
I am absolutely miffed that we still censor ourselves from using swear words everywhere and everyone. Seriously swear in front of your kids.. who cares. Let me explain first , you cornhole twat then you can disagree with your stick up the ass way of thinking.
Two of the most popular words in an adults vocabulary are "Fuck" and "Shit" yet they are deemed swear words and forbidden to be used in news print , mainstream television , in everyday public forums ,..etc because they are bad thats what we've been told since we were little.
Lets examine the words and why we need to censor them
Fuck. A street slang term that means to have sex with.. for eg. "I wanna fuck her/him" translates into I wanna have sex with you. So whats the big hub bub? I want to have stick my penis in her vagina... I want to FUck her. Same bloody meaning and Saved myself 15 letters of typing to boot.
Its also morphed into a expressive verb for eg. " HOLY FUCK! THATS FUCKING AWESOME!!!" this PG'd down into " HOLY COW! THATS REALLY AWESOME". Its ok to teach kids that if you're bad you will burn in hell for eternity by this real demon known as Lucifer whom watches you like Santa but its wrong to say Fuck in front of these same kids? really? Seriously do we even know what we are censoring ourselves from nowadays?
Fuck has also taken on the "smurf"ism persona and can be used to replace words to express one's current emotional state. For eg. " Get the FUCK out! you dumb fuck!" .. normally one would say " Please exit the room! you dumb person!" .. when you want ot make a point , you exchange the normal words with Fuck and you have a much more succesful way of expressing yourself. So the word Fuck is even more favourable useage.
So whether you use the word FUCK or not , the content is still there and isnt that what should be censored? Its taboo for me to say "She would be a wicked FUCK" in public but " She would be so wicked having intercourse with"... reallY?
Lets carry on, how about the anti christ of vocabulary.. "SHIT". Its poo. There's no sub context to this word , its just another word for poo. Its an unsanctioned street slang term but its used more than the real words of poo , poop , feces , dung , crap , ...etc There's no hidden meaning in these words to censor them from kids.. its not like the word Fuck or Shit have a hidden meaning of "I am a satan loving , murdering rapist..and Im also lazy and envious of rich people". No , they mean what they mean just like the official words in the dictionary.
"Goddamn" I actually understand and respect that being more a "taboo" or "swear word" because you are calling out a religious figure that is very meaningful to somebody and asking God to condemn something/someone. Basically there's a .... wait for it... CONTEXT to that phrase.
Its the context we should be censoring dont you think? just lift the ban on all swear words. If I said " I wanna Fuck the shit out of her " in front of your kids , would you be pissed at me for simply swearing or would you still be pissed at me caz I said " I wanna copulate her feces out of her anus".. right? its the context. Who cares what words we choose , FUck and shit are just words.
I petition to Webster , Oxford , Ponns , Duden ,... to sanction and accept all swear words as official usable words. We use them anyways why not sanction them. Maybe a med student can write their thesis on " Shit or Fucking" and not be scolded for using words that are more used than the actual words.

Jan. 5 to me
Jan. 5 was the day my dad was killed. 16 years ago , A block from home and it still lingers to a certain degree. I've found my peace and closure but cant deny the feelings. I still miss him and dream about him and wish he could see his grand daughters. I get disappointed in me when I forget to tell my nieces about their grand dad , not that there's a lot to tell , he wasnt a secret agent or a super hero or sort. Nonetheless they should know a little about him.
The older I get the more I morph into him. Which means the more I appreciate him in a time when I didnt and thats what still kills me today. He never knew how much I cared about him. It still eats at me that he died alone on a ambulance thinking nobody cares.
Anyways , my dad was a great man. He never hit me , he never abandoned me , he never abused me , he simply tried his best within himself and whom am I to judge who he is.
As my soul slides down to die.
How could I lose him?
What did I try?
Bit by bit, I've realized
That he was here with me;
I looked into my father's eyes.
My father's eyes.

Hey Kirk Cameron ... Fuck You
One of Kirk's bible thumping example arguements against evolution is his "humorus" hypothetical Crocoduck. Hey genius
http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/ct-dinosaur-latest-pg,0,7747258.photogallery
There is a crocoduck asshole , now what are you gonna say you psycho fuck. Before anybody tells me to leave him alone , even his old cast mates think he's an annoyting nutbar. Nobody is friends with the guy , its just too bad he brain washed his hot wife and kids.

Hollywood Rant/Rave: Is it that bad?
I've been ranting for years of the white man dominance in mainstream hollywood. Its ok for whiteboy to date asian girl but god forbid a asian man date a non asian woman in hollywood. Well.. Im not the only one who's felt this way , its not just me.. its blatnat obviouus to anybody with any kind of brain matter
http://www.cinematical.com/2009/11/24/interracial-harmony-ninja-assassin-vs-blind-side/
A oriental man and black woman..well , I dont kow if they date but at least the leading roles arent two whities. is the sky falling? Jeezuz fucking christ. ALbeit in a sterotypical martial arts film , still would like to see a non ethnic themed movie with just a plain normal asian dude and non asian woman , that has nothing to do with martial arts , nor ethnicity , just two people in a bunk gay fuckin lame regular romance show. Is it that hard for white people to follow a movie that doesnt have a white man in it?

Game Review: Dragon Age Origins (PC)
Dust off your inner dungeons and dragons geek child you have buried in you caz its time to get nerdy again! D&D style!
I love this game. Its fun , addicting , and bottom line entertaining.
Single Player Game , classic party build RPG ... find characters , build them up and fight , fight , fight with a lot of cheezy acting in between. Some of the story lines get intense and you choose your path on how you want ot be.. bad ass or goodie goodie , and your party members help determine this too. There's darker , aggresive characters to find and there's Jedi like characters to find , you can obviously figure which way you have to go.
It takes like 3-4 hours before the story and game play really picks up the pace , then its on going addictive dungeoning and dragoning. I can smell my nerd sweat and rattling of the di!
No spoilers here but there's some decent replay value , not only do you choose your path but there's 6 different story lines to start from. They all merge into the same linear plot afterwards but regardless , you'll wanna try each one ...right?
Im playing on the PC , it requires a standard modern gaming PC to really enjoy the beauty of it. You can play with lower models but it will look like a last gen console game , highly recomend investing into upgrading video cards to a 8800 series if you havent already.
