So the rant business has not been good for me lately, I still have my daily rants... about work, minor things, whatever. But nothing major, nothing rant on about it in my blog at great length on and on, pretty tame stuff.
Or maybe I am just a lazy writer. Probably a bit of both...
Couple quick things, a toned down rant, left over from CES on Sunday. Spent quite a bit of time at the San Disk booth, because of their Rock Band 2 competition, and Rock Band swag. If my entire RB group had access to the show, we probably would have competed. We had to settle for their Harrah's party / gathering where we showed our chops in the Piano Bar. We had some fun there and the traveling group that ran the set up asked back when, they will be back in Vegas come March.
But, back to San Disk, so Sunday, the same basically 6-8 ppl that competed in this so called contest on Friday, were the only ones I saw playing on Sunday. I am not really sure how much of the fix was in, but it looked bad to me. It was pretty disappointing and then I could not even get any good swag from them. I took pictures, I sat there, I stood there, pffft nothing.
It has forced me to start practicing my guitar and singing chops on a daily basis. Must gain Rock Band chops fame...
Minor Rant part two... Catching the Thom Hartman show on the commute home tonight, he relayed a piece that really had me pinching myself. I seriously had to think to myself if I was awake or dreaming and why IN THE HELL this information had not been more brought to light.
Get this, in 1974 two flunkies from the Nixon / Ford administration came out stated as fact, FACT, that the Russians were developing weapons of mass destruction. That we as a country needed to be afraid, and pour millions of dollars into defense contractors to protect us from this threat. The CIA said, no such thing, it was made up. The names of the flunkies, Rumsfeld and Cheney...
Minor rant out.
