Ramble rumblings
See this is what I am talking about. This is what pisses me off. Yesterday, I want to watch the SuperBowl. I don't have cable right now but I do have broadband Internet connection. And last time I checked a fucking calender it was the year 2008. So I figure, I should be able to watch the game.
But not so fast there buckeroo. I looked all over, at NFL.com and at Fox.com and nothing. I didn't want to download any torrents or anything like that. I looked all over and finally found a link in a message board. It was what I think is like an Indian website that has streaming video from all over the world. I did have to download a program but that seemed to work OK. (Today the program seemed to fuck up and I had to delete it but it wasn't that big a deal.)
So I did watch the game yesterday. It actually wasn't too bad. Right now while I am typing this I am watching WWE Raw (wrestling) on--
Well, I was watching wrestling. As I was typing it took the opportunity to crap the fuck out. Actually it went from wrestling to fucking cricket. Not the bugs the fucking sport? or whatever you call it. I would have rathered watched the bugs.
Well, after some reloading problems it appears that whoever is running this shit has got there heads out of there asses and has switched the feed from British television to the USA network. They should have done that originally. Fuckers.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I like being able to watch shit online but some of these people need to learn how to present programming better. Isn't the future online? Video on demand and all that? Some of these site, I am looking at you ABCNews.com, make it hard to find what you want to watch.
I must confess, since I have broadband, I haven't exactly "read" as much news as I have been watching it. I guess I am becoming a little lazy in that respect.
You know. I did hear that supposedly, all this VOD shtuff and the future of TV and all that is all bullshit. Supposedly the truth is that there is no way there would be enough bandwidth for everyone to get the level of highspeed internet access to get movies on demand and all that other stuff. And also, supposedly, it will reduce the internet to the level of dial up.
I heard this before and all I could think was, "Bullshit!" If there is money to be made, and a demand for services, companies will come up with a way to supply it. If you don't think so, think of DSL. How does DSL come over the same line as a phone line? Someone at sometime probably said it couldn't be done and then someone else said I will pay you all this cash and then the other person said, "I'll get right on that." Money talks boys and girls and bullshit walks.
Wow, I went on a tangent. I had just wanted to mention about the SuperBowl. Giants won. And living in New England I must say, that it kind of sucks, because I hate the Giants. That has nothing to due with living in New England because I really can't stand the Pats that much either.
When I was a kid I don't remember seeing alot of people wearing Patriots gear. People do wear a lot more sports memorabilia now then they used to but I remember seeing Jets stuff and Giants, Bears, Cowboys, and of course the Raiders. What I am trying to say is that there has been a lot of bandwagon jumping. So if a team has to choke really bad and it's not the Giants, then it is OK that it is the Patriots. Fuck them. Fuck the Giants. Fuck the NFL actually. Next year you millionaire fuckers you better stream the game.
Oh, and the commercials? They sucked.
Also, if you ever catch me paying for a Vitamin Water or any of that kind of thing, (regular Gatorade is excluded under the right circumstances), you have my permission to beat the living hell out of me. Seriously, use all the violence you can muster because I may have lost my mind and need some fucking sense beat into me.
Fucking flavored water. Unbelievable.
"But, it will give you energy, and it's got vitamin B. " Yeah, so does my cock!
I think that is it for now. I may go to sleep or maybe watch Heroes. Laterzzz...
