Crazy times with the riots in the Ukraine, Thailand and Venezuela.

The use of snipers on the protestors in Kiev just sickens me. Even going as far as reportedly shooting medics that go to help the downed protestors. I can't wrap my brain around living somewhere that there is authorization to actively snipe away at the city's people. It should never get to that point.



Also, google fiber coming to Raleigh? Perhaps. Time will tell.

Google is now looking to expand Google Fiber to 34 cities in nine new metro areas: Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Phoenix, Portland, Raleigh-Durham, and San Jose. For a complete list of cities, hit up the Google Fiber website.

The government actively supporting shooting of their own people - no wonder the Ukrainians are protesting. Sure the things have gotten out of hands on both sides of the riots since some of the rioters are using firearms too so the police using arms for self-defence I can understand. But shooting a medic who's helping another shot person is no self-defence - it's a crime even in war. There has to be another way to calm down the riots.

Please let this Google Fiber thing happen, I despise TWC.

State ran terrorism. Lots of civil unrest happening.

Always nice to beat Duke when they're ranked ahead of us. This has been a weird year. Obviously the ceiling is pretty high, based on beating the top 4 preseason teams (heard that this morning).

Snow one day, thunder and lightning the next.

This winter is officially ******.

 

[Oogie Boogie]

Space Jam 2 is being made.
With LeBron James.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Thank you for that. I was looking for something to write about other than hockey.

So the Indiana Pacers sent Danny Granger to Philadelphia for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.

Geez Sixers, I know you're tanking and all, but could you make it any more obvious?

Don't hate.

Turner sucks anyways. He's not going to fit in Indiana at all.

Do the sixers really have 9 second round picks next year?

 

[Brock Anton]

I think we have 7.

I now have 14 seats total for the AC Milan / Liverpool game. LOL

[DaveG]

For me it's just a matter of "OK tax return... cmon tax return"

Meanwhile I just bought tickets for the Pack vs. UCLA baseball game at the US Baseball Training Complex.

Seriously, can this be the year that my idiot ass doesn't wait until April 15th to file?

If you do end up coming down, let me know, I know there are going to be a few of us tailgating.

Enrolling at a big boy college is quite a process.

 

[nobuddy]

Indeed.

I'm confused. Most sports games come out like a month or so before the start of the regular season, which makes sense. This year's MLB The Show, however, is coming out April 1st for PS3 and the PS4 version isn't coming out till May. Spring training starts on Tuesday and opening day is in March. Odd timing.
