Saints and Aaron Glenn
Saints sign CB Aaron GlennBy: New Orleans Saints
Aaron Glenn
By: WikiPedia.org
First things first... I love the Saints. They are the graetest team that I have ever had the pleasure of controlling on Madden's video games. Specifically the '07. All in all this is a VERY good move for the Saints. Glenn is happy because he gets to play foootball and gets paid to do so. A win-win for him. Not to mention that ALL the GOOD NFL analysis people say that they need a good Cornerback. And this has got to be a step in the right direction. Hopefully this year the Saints will actually make it to the Playoffs. That will make my like life if they won! That would be awesome.

The Jericho Project: What The Hell is it?!
Jericho- Our Approach
By: JerichoProject.org
During the Days of Respect at my school we had some people come and talk on various topics. The one that stuck out in my head was the one about The Jericho Project. For two reasons: my mom and dad being both. During the whole presentation I kept thinking:
"Hey this is a load of s***! I will never turn out like my parents cause I will be a success in my own way!"
Then one speaker said that a child that has parents that abuse drugs and/or alcohol is 60% MORE likely to abuse in his/her life than someone with parents that didn't abuse. then I was like:
" F***! I am at risk because of that little shithead of a father that spent my childhood in and out of rehab!"
with that in mind i actually paid a lot closer attention to what was coming gout of their mouths. Then I realized:
"What are the chances that my three brothers will abuse?"
I came to the realization that it varied from person to person and that I have to be as much of, or as little of, an influence in this category! I think that's why a lot of the people in the 80's and 90's abused because nobody in their family htat they looked up to resisted the temptation in abusing!
If you know someone that you think may be at risk of abusing follow this link! You may be able to help!

Killswitch Engage
Killswitch Engage

Biography( click "biography" on the right)
By: Killswitch Engage
I owe the turn on to my friend Liz! This band became famous after their album The End of Heartache
The thing I found the most shocking is that the singer is actually African American. Now reading this you may be thinking:
"So what?! Look at Akon!"
And this is where I say:
"Look at Akon! He's in Rap music! Not metalcore!"
The first song that i heard by KsE was Self revolution which was followed by Fixation on the Darkness! All in all KsE is a unique band much like Avenged Sevenfold.
Okay. So. KsE was formed by two members of two seperate and disbanded bands. The singer of one is now the singer in Shadows Fall.
I'll be perfectly honest this IS a good band but in my opinion A7X is MUCH better! Like worlds!So KsE was signed to Roadrunner records. And to my knowledge still are! The thing that's awesome about ksE is that they are going to stick with Roadrunner Rec. That's what I will do when I make it famous! Stick with them!

Myspace And Suicide
Annals of Crime
By: Lauren Collins
Ah... well MySpace. Well.... uhhh.... Damn.
Bottom line its not okay to terrorize a kid online because your kid had a fight with him or her. If they're so pathetic as to not be adults and handle it as such then they shouldn't be allowed to... well... DO ANYTHING!!
First and foremost I have to give my opinion and give facts in my own words. But This is so flipping crazy!
So there was a girl, Megan Meier, and she had a good friend who lived down the street form her. Apparently, Megan's friend's parents heard that they were in the middle of a quarrel. So them, being the parents of the year( that was sarcasm), wanted to do something to snipe at the offender. So they also being geniuses decide to make a fake name on myspace. "But trying on identities is, in the fluid environment of the Internet, a riskier experiment than raiding mom's makeup bag." (pg.1; Annals of Crime) The fact of the matter is that I hate parents that can't pick on their own kids and cause shit like this!

Avenged Sevenfold!!
Avenged Sevenfold

Disorderly Conduct
By: Jenny Eliscu
For the record i love this band and the first time I heard them was on MTV. That song was Beast And The Harlot.
Anyways they are a band out of Huntington Beach, CA. At first they were a group of four. It was Zacky Vengeance, Matt Shadows, The Rev( Formerly The Reverend Theolomew Plauge), and Demon Ash( replaced by Johnny Christ). Then Demon Ash had to leave and Avenged was on tour so then Johnny stepped in. that was for Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. The first time. The version that i have is the one that Synyster Gates was on.. at least the first track... At this point thy're a group of five. Johnny, Matt, The Rev, Zacky, and Syn. So Johnny wasn't on the bill yet. and eventually he won them over or something happened, and he's the permenent bassist. So around this time Waking the Fallen was taking form in matt's mind. Their first (and only) REAL hit was Unholy Confessions. So that CD was a huge sucess! that's when Warner Bros. Records was starting to look at them. Then came City of Evil. And then i became a fan with Beast and the Harlot. Now they have their self titled and self produced album out.
Good stuff!

Wireless Technology
What is Wireless Technology?
By: Cites.UIUC.Edeu.com
Wireless Technology Changing Work And Play
By: Jason White; CNN
The main focus of both articles is the fact humans have become relyant on wireless technology to entertain, communicate, and do their work. The CNN article focuses on one man's thriving job- and his dissatisfaction with his life. The definition of wireless tech though is what you think it is tech to go. While its nothing like McDonald's it is portable. Not like the computer that I used to type this post. As with anything we (as humans) come up with there are limitations to what we can and cannot do. In the Cites article, they tell you straight up what the f*** wireless tech is. My own example would be the iPhone. Its a cell phone, an iPod, and a computer McDonald's style. That is To Go. the best part is that you can use them all you want and not gain weight! Awesome! Now the bad part- drawbacks. Wireless Networks aren't a natural thing. Meaning that the Wireless internet that you may or may not use on your laptop has its restrictions too. like if it gets too far from the provider then it gets slower. That's a drag, non pas? But you can take it anywhere. A definite bonus. S the question i have is: Efficenent or Portable?
