FM and MTV are marketed towards the majority because that’s what advertisers want, the majority. The fact of the matter is, the majority of people listen to horrible music.

William Volja is an Iraqi veteran who found my name in an old journal. He is confiding in me to help him smuggle $35 million dollars into the U.S. and for my participation will give me $20 million of it. Don’t tell anyone, this is a double secret probation mission.
Pats vs. Giants
peterwknox:
And the icing on the cake is that, like it or not, this ‘perfect season’ is tainted. Your coach was caught, red handed, and with all of the evidence from Week 1 destroyed, there exists no proof that they’ve gotten to where they are, undefeated, without a cheating edge. They will have to live with that. I don’t care what talking points you’ve been given...

Fridays
Fridays are quickly turning into by far my most productive work days. I try to plan out my work flow at the beginning of each week, making a LIST OF THINGS TO DO. I work at a semi steady pace Monday through Thursday crossing things off the list, and it seems by Friday I am behind the weeks schedule.
I need to increase my work pace Monday through Thursday, because 3 days weekends are awesome.
Noises
I don’t know whats going on today but I have encountered way too many sites and ads that have voice overs, music, and sound effects mixed in. Whoever thought it was a good idea to play a sound every time someone mouse overs a navigation tool bar deserves 10% of that Nigerians inheritance.
