10:25 pm - Shameless self promotion
Ok so I started my own little Internet Radio Station, Mtunes. Due to bandwidth I only can have 10 people listen to it at once, but that should change soon.
I play full days of either my favorites, techno, punk, rock, pop, or good rap. I don't play the pop or good rap much, so it's mostly the first 4 genres. I don't play music while I'm sleeping because that's when I download more stuff :) So it's usually up from 6:30 A.M. EST to 11:00 P.M. EST 7 days a week.
Here's the link if you're interested.

08:40 pm - I haven't posted in a long time but I need to make this thought public
For a good part of the day today I've been trying to find good new music on any web site/magazine/program I could get my hands on. Ok so now I'm watching the MTV Video Music Awards right now because the Olympics is almost over. The VMAs are the reason I'm writing this post. I can't deal with all this shit being thrown at everyone. There's soooooo much better music out there than what's worshiped on this award show. There's people that write their own music, don't have dance routines, and that give everything they have on what ever stage they can get on that have more talent than 90% in this show. But all that's really allready known by a lot of people. The thing that really threw me over the edge is when I was watching the show, 3 decent bands, 1 that I've kinda followed from the beginning were all forced to play 1/3 of thier big hit single to make more time available for the huge amounts of rap/r&b/hip hop. Hoobastank (who I saw a couple years ago when they opened for Incubus), Jet, and Yellowcard all played 1/3 of their hit singles one after the other. That's such a blatent slap in the face to anyone to appreciates music.
It seems to me that even passive music fans want something other than what's shown on MTV and what's played on most of the radio stations available. It's frusterating to me that cds like the Now that's Music series have been as high as #1 on Billboard Music's sales chart and that MTV/VH1/BET all play the same music and people eat it all up. There seemingly isn't any need to deviate from what's given, even though IT'S ALL THE SAME.
Mainstream music changes every so often. Remember grunge? America really needs to change what they're listening to.

02:03 pm - Stumbled upon potential greatness
I found this community, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) more_awesomer, and I think it has potential for something that could be interesting. It's for opinions... X is more awesomer than Y kinda thing. It's cool because people really need to substantiate what they say which makes it good for discussion. Anywho, check it out yo.

08:21 pm - Scary software
I remember back in the day when it was hard to get into someone's computer. You had to have some knowledge of tcp/ip, security flaws in different software and operating systems, ports... and things of that nature. Not today, now you can download P2P Share Spy by RebrandSoftware.
What the software does is loads how ever many packet sniffers you want to whatever ip address(s) you want to see if there's any available option to get "shared" files. That would mean any shared folder on your network/computer. Right now I have it scanning a huge span of IP's, and have 20 sniffers going. It's been going for a couple hours and here are the stats:
IP's Sniffed: 13088
Shares Found: 0
Computers Found: 3307
Computers with Shares Found: 0
This software is attempting to pass itself as a legitimate file sharing program. But it's really a super user friendly hacking program. Once into a computer you can both recieve and place files and folders on a computer. That's all you need to fuck shit up really. It scans on ports 139 and 445, so block those via a firewall (if they're not allready) asap.

09:48 pm - I want to listen to new music damnit
Here's a post I recently posted to the lj community find_new_music:
(I'm posting it because I'm trying to get as many suggestions as I can)
I'm ALWAYS looking for new music to listen to. There's never a shortage of new music, just good new music. So, I was thinking that maybe if I put a short list of what I liked and didn't like someone cool could take 5 minutes out of their busy schedule and lead me in a decent direction:
( Behind a cut due to the lists )

This is ripped directly from my subprofile in  AIM
It's really hard to not dress like a tool sometimes. Unless you're a flamer, a wannabe bad azz, an insanely huge social outcast geek, or a po-dunk tazmanian devil sportin dude then it's really hard not to dress
like a tool. But I'm not a tool, I do think for myself, I'm into things that are somewhat origional and not overly commercialized, I am not motived soley on short-term goals, and I have a very good sense of self and stay true to that 99.9% of the time. So I guess this is really a message for all of you drving shoe wearin, music artist immatatin, street talkin, bandana wearin, cargo sweatpant sportin, eyebrow piercin, strut walkin guys that have no real sense of self. You suck. Because there's so many of you, you're flooding the stores with the stupid shit you war. Then because I'm not a duche bag I buy some of it, most likely the stuff you'd never touch because it's not "gangsta" enough. But maybe someday you could take a deep breath and "stop frontin yo" and stop bein such a fuck tard and get your own identity, and that's not what you think Eminem would be like if he were livin with his mom. Stupid fucks are ruining it for everyone.

i worked on justin's computer for 3 days off and on trying to get rid of some pretty malicious viruses, so then i finally just decided to format it because that's all there was left to do. i hate having to format a computer after working on it, i want solve the issue problematicly, not with a clean sweep.
i've updated my web page, RGB Photo.com, to have fewer pictures (took out over 80 pics) and to have pretty spiffy navigation on the bottom of each gallery. jess and i recently went out and got some photos, i haven't put 'em on the site yet, here's a taste of the new suff:

04:03 pm - Question:
Jessie and I were talking today about creation v.s. evolution and I wanted to through this question out to everyone.
Do you think God could have used evolution as a tool? Do you think that he made beings on earth able to adapt and evolve to their surroundings?

06:16 pm - strange movie
Just saw "The Butterfly Effect" (ya i know it's been out a while) and it was pretty disturbing. i thought it was going to be a somewhat unrealistic movie, but it used scenes and atmospheres that were pretty vivid and engulphing. i got pretty caught up in the different graphic scenes and it really got to me.
the movie had technical aspects about the time leaps that were the focal point of it, but it didn't go into great detail about it which was good. the movie did a great job keeping the viewer "in the loop" without being drowned in details, very entertaining. oh and as far as ashton kutcher being in it... it was the kinda thing like the movie made him, he didn't make the movie.

09:52 am - Update on Mikeypoo
Personal life:
Well Jessie and I are doing well as always. For Valentine's Day we dropped Twobit off at my mom's house for the night so we could have some alone time. We drank a little, loved a little, kissed a lottle, and laughed even more. It was a great time.
I'm also one of the 8.3 Million unemployed people in the United States. I've been applying to at least 3 jobs a week and keeping a close eye on about 6 different job posting web pages to no avail, it's very frusterating.
Health:
Jessie and I have been working out pretty consistantly. We follow a pilates dvd about 6 times a week that gives us a decent 35 minute work out, and then I do about 10 - 20 minutes of my own stuff after that. I WAS seeing pretty decent results, but the last 4 days or so we've been eating chocolates, cheese cake, drinking beer, and eating meals until we're full. So needless to say we've set ourselves back a little bit, but we'll recover fine I think.
Hobbies:
I've been fooling around in a couple programs that I used to obsess about, Fruityloops, Acid, and Sound Forge. I've been making some ok stuff, but I want to take it to the next level, where I used to be.
Went out and took some nice photographs the other day. It's been a while since I've been out doing that, I'll post 'em soon.
Politics:
I've been kinda following the Democratic race just because I want to know who to vote for to get Bush out of office. Kerry seems to be a typical politician spouting unatainable promises and playing the game pretty middle of the road. At this point he looks like he'll win, I don't agree with everything he says, but this country needs a change and I'll support the strongest force that will change it.
That's about all I can think of right now, thanks for reading :)

Ya I just made this group on MSN. I made it because I'm sick of searching a whole bunch of web sites to find a couple bands that are actually good. I figured this was a good way to make it easy for everyone.
