Tyson Knocked Out

This Seriously bummed me out. Back in the day I used to watch Mike Tyson fight and he could destroy anyone, he seemed invincible, and he truly was for a long time.

You can read a full article by Clicking Here. He was knocked out in the fourth round. I think this kind of makes me feel old, and I bet it makes Mike Tyson feel old also. I know he is messed up, and he has done a lot of messed up things, but for some small reason, somewhere, somehow, I feel the slightest bit bad for him. Not because he lost, he is 38, he cannot expect to win every fight forever, but because of how the media portrays him.

I feel like he really has had some tough breaks, and should not be looked at in a completely negative way. And he was my hero for a while. I would get so excited to watch him fight. We would all see it live on pay per view, waiting through hours of warm up fights just to see Iron Mike Tyson level his opponent in the first few rounds.

It kind of reminds me of the feeling that you get when you start to grow up and realize your idols also have flaws and are just real people like you. Your older brother, your dad, whoever you really looked up to, that instant when you know they are mortal, and flawed, and not as perfect as you had thought. That is the feeling I get whenever I see Mike Tyson on the canvas.

Stop controlling my Cursor

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I am starting to hate sites that automatically pull my cursor into their search field, or some other field that they assume I want to type in. If everyone Used IE, maybe it would be convenient, but when you use a browser with tabbed browsing, it becomes a nightmare.

When I open my browser, a few different pages all come up in tabs, one of them being Hotmail.com and one of the others being Gmail.com, and just about the time I start typing in my Gmail username, the hotmail tab sucks my cursor away from me and I end up typing half of my username into that field, that is on a totally different tab altogether.

I understand that the majority of the public opens one IE window and checks to see if their kids sent them any "Emails" and then they buy a Tom Clancy book off of Amazon and go to bed, but for the rest of us, this cursor raping gets a bit old. They need to make a way to disable that within the browsers, or even the sites themselves, but cookies are annoying also, so the browser not allowing it would be the best.

Political conventions to welcome Bloggers.

What in the world are they thinking. I think blogging is kind of funny. It seems like everyone in the world posts on one, but no one really reads anyone elses. It is just one huge online therapy session if you think about it. All of those servers filled with opinions that no one cares about. lol. Anyway, check out this interesting artcle on CNN.com today.

Not that it ever looked that great anyway, but now www.foxnews.com looks awful. You cannot navigate quickly with all of that garbage floating around.

Speaking of Fox News, check out this MugShot of Shepard Smith

James Brown pleaded guilty to domestic violence this week after pushing his wife to the floor and threatening to kill her. I wonder if he shouted "Get on the floor!"
