FriendFeed Comments on Wordpress!

Using a plugin, you can show your friendfeed comments on a blog post that you have posted to friendfeed. It’s really nice and a great idea, but thanks to another plugin I was having problems with (Ahem! ..twitter tools) I’m going to wait and see if this works since I’ve gotten things setup the way I think they should be. Of course, that doesn’t mean that’s it’s the correct setup ;) I could probably stand to at least deactivate a few wp plugins. That might fix things, who knows.

Memorial Day…

Memorial Day is to remember all veterans who have fought for us, our freedom. My grandfather fought during WWII on the U.S.S Indianapolis in the U.S Navy and I have an uncle on my Mother’s side of my family that fought during Vietnam, in the U.S Marine Corps (SEMPER FI!!) and lost a foot to a buried mine. I myself was born almost 3 years after the end of Vietnam, and as fate would have it, if my grandfather wasn’t granted shore leave he most likely would have died on the Indianapolis since that ship was one of the first that was sunk at Pearl Harbor. What this means is that if my grandfather had died on the Indianapolis, I would’ve never existed and to that I am eternally grateful.

Last night on JohnB v2.0, (my show on talkshoe) myself, Stoff and new good friend Drakeo, each took a turn talking about what we remember in life the most both good and bad. After I ended the show we spoke about the sacrifice active duty military soldiers make, both at home and personal, to serve their nation. The whole show was nice, calm and quiet which is what I needed after a loud boisterous day at work.

Just take what you remember most, what you’re proud of and hold it close and never let it go. If you don’t, you won’t like it but then again ignorance is always bliss is it not?

thank you for flying …

We all know everything is getting turned upside down these days. It’s not invisible, it’s not easy to hide from either; it’s right in all our faces and what are we going to do about it? I never just lay down for anything nor anyone. If you’ve spoken with me for any length of time longer then 5 minutes you know at least that much about me. I’m only one person speaking out when and where I can. So I ask the rest of you this. Where are you speaking out on what’s going on and what’s bothering you today? Are you even speaking out at all? . .or are you too busy living out your boring daily lives and being a sheep? Do you really need to be sheparded? Do you really think you can’t take a hard look at things and not get pissed off?

If it’s not the high gas prices, it’s our own state governments stealing children from their parents and families. If it’s not that it’s the fact that while our state and federal governments work for us they don’t seem to think so anymore. If it’s not that it’s the fact that one woman I respect and care for almost more then I do my own family was gang stalked and assaulted by her own police department in San Diego CA.
If it’s not that it’s the fact that while the oil companies are being assaulted by our own federal government for price fixing it’s political forces that have forced the high gas price hand we’re dealing with today. Do I need to really and truthfully need to say more.. .

Live life with passion and stand up for what you love and believe in and while you think this is the cliche of the conspiracy theorists, Stand up before you cut off at the knees.

Thank you for flying JohnB Airlines. .now this is the question, since you have reached your final destination. What would you rather be served? .. the ass or the crotch?

Why I can’t stand Facebook

excerpt from WebWare

“Now that Google has launched Friend Connect, we’ve had a chance to evaluate the technology,” the post by Facebook employee Charlie Cheever read. “We’ve found that it redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge, which doesn’t respect the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our Terms of Service.”

So you were going to violate your own terms of service? You complain about privacy issues when Beacon (your own creation) originally was a very not-so-easy opt out, and that was only after the entire internet screamed in extreme outrage. Hypocrisy isn’t going to get me to come back to you. You should have left Beacon on the shelf from the get go. After all the “are you naked” invites I received on my facebook profile from some guy also located here in Memphis, even after I removed the app; I don’t think I’ll ever be going back to Facebook. What a name. And no, I didn’t ask for all the “Are You Naked” invites either. I don’t think I would be making this blog post if I “had asked for it”. BMSMA!
