north korea 

so north korea has apparently admitted that they have been developing “weapons of mass destruction”

read about it on The Washington Post & salon.com

Its not clear to me weather they disclosed this as a threat or as an opening for diplomacy.

what bothers me, though, is that the white house kept this news out of the media while the senate was voting on iraq to prevent loss of support for invading iraq.

gotta love when the land of the free is censoring the media.



mighty oaks 

so… let us not be like clinging vines
but instead mighty oaks standing separately,
with the tips of their branches intertwining
just barely.

some one sent that to me accidentally and it made me think of you.



time to make the donuts 

those sneaks at dunkin donuts tricked me into buying 3 donuts for 99cents when i only wanted one!

but they didn’t mess up when I asked for chocolate… have you ever noticed they always try to give you chocolate frosted when you want a regular chocolate donut?



First 

So first I want to say that I’m jealous. Cuz I want this shit on my site. hehe. Thanks for your emails. i know we haven’t talked for a while. I miss you. I wanna talk with you and Phil about Broadrelay. I would like you to organize a call with him and let me know what time it is and where I have to call. Love ya man.



I wish… 

…i could be so in debt that nobody cared and just let me spend more money i didn’t have:

It would seem to me that Viacom is probably better positioned to weather the storm that is coming than almost any other major media company. AOL Time Warner is $30 billion in debt. That means the first $3 billion of profits goes to pay the banks. Vivendi Universal has $20 billion in debt. Disney has $25 billion in debt. These are companies that have been leveraged to the neck. If you think about the deflationary economy, which is where we are going, the pricing power–whether for VoD, or DVD rental, or for advertising–is not going to happen. Viacom was smart enough not to do anything stupid in the Internet space, and will probably weather this. But I am here to say that it is going to be a very rough two or three years for the media sector.
