My uncle in Nigeria contacted me a while back. I'm excited to tell you that he is rich and wants to send me millions of dollars. I never even knew I had an uncle in Nigeria! I can't explain how over the moon I was. Still am!
I awaiting my money. Still...
I agree with Pilot and Sugar.
The "old days" of VicAd blogging were great. There were no anonymous blogs and few anonymous comments. When the blogs were opened up, it was discouraging.
Staff blogs bogged down reader blogs, there was no application system to verify real people (thus numerous blogs for one person), and the comments just got... meaner.
Going back to school and life in general hindered my blogging, but honestly it wasn't just that.
The free for all that ensued after opening up the blogs caused lots of problems, in my opinion. I've noticed that most of the original bloggers either left or slowed down their activity because of some of the problems.
In all, these are my opinions. I enjoy some of the new bloggers and the staff blogs. It's no secret that I've always been a big advocate of blogs attached to real people. I've always felt that if what you've got to say is important and meaningful enough to be posted in a public place (such as a newspaper website)- then you should have no problem sticking your name on it.
There was a book written and a movie made called, "We Were Soldiers." It was the story of the first major battle of the American phase of the Vietnam War and the soldiers who fought in it.
Mr. Pena (one of the men featured in the ad) is from Port Lavaca and was actually the police chief there for some years. He still resides in Port Lavaca.
I was there the day they filmed this ad and everyone on set was moved... some to tears... by Mr. Pena's story of that battle.
I didn't get to Meet Mr. Reyes, so I am not sure of his background.
This is a great video!
Laura was a gorgeous woman and friend. I'll miss her so much. My prayers go out to her family and her two small babies.
Sorry if I am coming into this late but - a virus? Covert?
Have you used the internet - ever?
If you are afraid of a simple script - then you should disconnect your internet and never log onto any website - ever again.
As for banning him - then you would probably have to ban half of the users on this site that can google site counters and free java scripts.
They are used - a lot - by a lot of people. Not to mention they are very simple and easy to use...
Aprill is an amazing writer. I'm glad she'll continue to write for the Advocate. I bet Boston will be a blast! Have fun Aprill and Ryan!
Congratulations to Pozzi on his win and congratulations to Ocker for coming out of virtually nowhere and bringing in the numbers he has. His race has, in the very least, brought to light discrepancies that I hope the county will take a look at it.
It was a tight race, but in the end I am thankful for all of the new voters I have met, that are now interested in the process and who will be better informed and ready for the coming elections in two and four years.
I pray that Pozzi does not increase taxes, as he has promised he won't. We shall see if he upholds that promise in the coming years.

It takes a lot to rant and rave with your real name and picture next to your rants... and raves.
I have always been an advocate for less anonymity when it comes to online insults, etc.

But that's my thirty-seven cents.
