I guess Wall of Ice could be released tomorrow, August 17th (the article says Monday, August 18th)…

While you wait, enjoy this leaked song from the EP…

Shawn, thank you.

Update 1: All other internet sources state Tuesday, August 18th could be the release date.

Update 2: No EP scheduled for release – bummer…

Here’s a cool photo…

Video – wow…

I know, the video quality is less than desired.  But, it’s the first foreign language annoucers I found.  I think the NBC clips will be pulled from YouTube shortly.

UPDATE: The video finally got pulled.  It existed for WAY longer than I thought it would.  Note to self, find more foreign language clips!

As those that thoroughly understand all there is to know about old media are slowly but surely getting weeded out of larger organizations so that fresh blood can be brought in, I’m pretty sure the NFL league office is still using Windows ME and hasn’t heard of twitter.

So, for the time being, Reggie Bush should fly under the radar until his tweet gets talked about on ESPN later on today when they have NOTHING else to talk about or some archaic newspaper in New Orleans stumbles upon his twitter page in a week or two.

But, here’s Reggie expressing “concern” of being fined by the league because of a tweet…

http://twitter.com/reggie_bush/status/3301859473

All because of this tweet (which doesn’t make sense)…

“I believe we live in a world full of double standards! Why is it wrong to fight dogs but legal to hunt birds, deer, moose, fish, etc?”

I love Reggie Bush.  I love that he’s been wearing apartheid diamonds the size of my knuckle since he was playing college football – unpaid? I love his swagga.  In fact, he’s strangely one of my favorite pro athletes.

But, all of that said, he definitely didn’t do well on the analogy portion of his SAT.  And, it’s a shame his education at USC didn’t pass along any knowledge.

For Reggie’s tweet to make sense, we would have to exclude anything about humans hunting.  Moreover, there would have to be a case when some other NFL player – or person – was caught bankrolling bloody gambling fights between birds, deer, moose, and/or fish.  Can you imagine – one bird fighting another bird?  Snoozefest.  Well, maybe a cock fight in Mexico wouldn’t be too boring.  But, you get my point.

P.S.  Yes, there’s a ton to fit in the 140 characters that twitter allows and people commonly get misunderstood.  But, I think in this case, Reggie simply fcked up the analogy.  If you go to his twitter page, he won’t really accept responsibility for making a bad analogy – yet.

Paging the league office…

This is the coolest article I’ve stumbled upon on the internet in a long time…

My favorite one…

Could it be a hoax? Both Sarah and Todd are cheating on each other?!? I’m not sure but…

Alaska Report News seems to bash the palin’s excessively on their main page. If true, the limelight is blinding the palin’s! We’ll see…

Twitter users@QueenofSpain and @cyn3matic, thank you.

I have no idea who Nick Cannon is but have you seen this ridiculous tattoo? What?!?  It’s Mariah Carey you’re married to – not Beyonce’.   I repeat – it’s Mariah Carey, dude.

Anyways, back to the blog posting. Eminem is on his game once more.  This is the Eminem I choose to remember.  I wish cuts like this would have made (the first half of) Relapse…

Jason, thank you.

P.S.  After a 5 minute hunt to see how the beef began, I guess Eminem’s “Bagpipes from Baghdad” dissed Mariah.  The song sucks.  Nick (as mentioned above, who the fck is Nick Cannon?) got all pissy and spouted off at the mouth.

Then Mariah made a song/video called “Obsessed” – it’s not worth finding on YouTube – where she dressed up like an Eminem look-alike and talked about him being obsessed with her.

Eminem delivered this blow to undoubtedly end the feud.  Wowser.

It’s creeping everyone out.  Seriously, enough is enough.

No, I’ve never seen the bachelor/ette and didn’t know who Ed Swiderski was before seeing the CNN clip.

Click pic below, sit through 15 seconds of a commercial, and the clip (far from entertaining) should load…

P.S.  “I kissed 4 with tongue.”  WTF – is Jillian Harris in high school and/or 1919?  The question was simple – how many did you bang?

Here’s to hoping I don’t get one of those square text messages – WTF? – as I don’t really pay attention to my iPhone at work…

http://www.huliq.com/3257/84257/sms-hack-can-hijack-every-iphone-world

“Cybersecurity researcher Charlie Miller and his fellow researcher Collin Mulliner plan to present research on a huge iPhone security hole Thursday at the Black Hat cybersecurity conference in Las Vegas. Not an iPhone virus, but rather an SMS hack, the issue can allow a hacker complete control over an iPhone.

According to the researchers, they will demonstrate how to send a series of mostly invisible SMS “bursts” that can give a hacker complete control of the iPhone. That control will include dialing the phone, visiting Web sites, turning on the device’s camera and microphone, and more. The hacker will also be able to send more text messages to facilitate spreading the iPhone SMS hack to other iPhones.

To an end user, the evidence that someone is trying to use the iPhone’s SMS hack on your device will be a text message on your iPhone containing only a single square character. The only way to avoid being hacked would be to quickly turn off the device. In terms of the amount of control, this hack sounds, quite honestly, very similar to how certain Trojans can turn a PC into a bot, and similarly control it remotely.”

Jason, thank you.

Check this out from Meghan McCain’s (@McCainBlogette) Twitter page…

Ryan Rolson (@rolson141) is seemingly located in Seattle…

Here’s Meghan McCain’s responses…

http://twitter.com/McCainBlogette/status/2873086741

It looks like – per Ryan Rolson’s original tweet and twitter profile (@rolson141) – he possibly may have a terminal disease and just wants prayers. Has the person been considering suicide? I hope Meghan prays and/or is able to contact Seattle authorities.

Here’s an example…

“Thank you so much @ParisIAdoreYou What a beautiful note – Love you http://img194.imageshack.us…“

So, the above tweet is Paris Hilton (@babygirlparis) responding to a fan William Borges (@parisiadoreyou).

What is Ms. Hilton responding to? Here’s what @parisiadoreyou wrote…

As I suggested on twitter and am now blogging, it all seemed a little creepy.  What is wrong with today’s…people?

I’m joking – I’m sure William Borges (@parisiadoreyou) from Brazil is a well-rounded individual.  As he said after all the haters piled on him…

Since January 2009 – Obama was sworn in on the 20th – the international stock indexes are on an up.

It will be interesting to see where the markets are over the next 4 months – 12 months into Obama’s presidency – won’t it? I’m just glad there seems to be somewhat of a global recovery before a World War was invoked.

I noted on twitter yesterday that I can’t sit through an 8 minute long online video clip.

Well, then there was this clip.  Wow, something WAY cooler than the iPhone…

Uncle Richard, thank you.
