Why I am suing Stevie Wonder

Up until last night I was a huge fan of Stevie Wonder. His talent both with instruments as well as with his own vocals are immense. One of my all time favorite songs, "As" is certainly in the top 10 of my personal lists, as well as one of the most played tracks on my iPod.

The problem I am having however is last night, perhaps for the first time, I stopped and actually listened to the lyrics of a song I was listening to. The song, "I Wish" was the straw that broke the camels back, and is the basis of a lawsuit I am filing today against Stevie Wonder. The opening lines of the song start as follows:

"Looking back on when I
Was a little nappy headed boy
Then my only worry
Was for Christmas what would be my toy
Even though we sometimes
Would not get a thing
We were happy with the
Joy the day would bring"

This is just the first verse, it gets worse...

"Sneaking out the back door
To hang out with those hoodlum friends of mine
Greeted at the back door
With boy thought I told you not to go outside
Tryin' your best to bring the
Water to your eyes
Thinkin' it might stop her
From woopin' your behind"

How much more offensive can this song get with phrases like "little nappy headed boy" and "what would be my toy" and the reference to "hoodlum friends of mine."

This is the crap they play on the radio, and I ashamed of the fact that I can mindlessly recite these lyrics.

It gets even worse...

"I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
Cause I love them so

Brother says he's tellin'
'Bout you playin' doctor with that girl
Just don't tell I'll give you
Anything you want in this whole wide world
Mama gives you money for Sunday school
You trade yours for candy after church is through"

WOW!!!

Playing doctor with that girl, stealing money intended for Sunday School to trade for candy.

What the heck is wrong with people?

"Smokin' cigarettes and writing something nasty on the wall (you nasty boy)
Teacher sends you to the principal's office down the hall
You grow up and learn that kinda thing ain't right
But while you were doing it-it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ev-er have to go"

It doesn't take a genius to tear this exchange apart, let's see, "smokin' cigaretts and writing something nasty of the wall" and then wishing those days would come back once more.

I am offended, and my lawyer is confident we can bring down this Stevie Wonder, and get a nice healthy financial payday out of the whole ordeal.

For me, "I Wish" for filth like this to be taken off our airwaves and out of our iPod's.

For now, I am off to take a stroll around the neighborhood, I just loaded Dr. Dre's "Chronic 2001" on my iPod, now that is a great album.

For now, take care...

A Tribute to Earth Day...

OK, this is pretty funny in my opinion, and I wish I could take the credit for it, but all credit is due Rush Limbaugh for this little tidbit.

How to celebrate Earth Day

"Drive. Drive! Drive five miles above the speed limit when you're on the highway. Go out and buy, buy, buy! Use extra toilet paper. Clog up the toilet if you have to with extra paper. Use, use, use. Turn on every light in the house, every light in the office, and leave it on when you leave -- and if you see anybody driving a stupid hybrid around, just buzz 'em with your horn and wave at 'em as you speed by. Just ram it down their throats, ladies and gentlemen."

Have a great earth day.

Live from Florida

Well, here I am at WB's house. What a whirlwind trip this has been. Last night found us at Downtown Disney. What I love about Disney is that just in the off chance you missed buying the Disney crap at any of the 16,000 stores, you can always find it at the main Disney Store.

Today we went to IKEA, the Mall of Millenia and then to the Florida Mall.

Tonight we will be cooking steaks with baked potatoes. That should taste good as I am starving right now.

Tomorrow morning we are going home, hopefully the flight won't be too full.

I think WB is a little annoyed with us being here, but you know what, tough.

I know she will have a lot more to say that I do, so for now, take care...

2 Computers - 2 Weeks

I have been busy the past couple of weeks. With Chinese New Year all but shutting down my inbound shipments, I have had a lot of free time to do other things. So I woke up last week and decided to sell my laptop on eBay. After the 7 day period I got a bidder and got it sold. I went out that night and bought the new MacBook Air. I have to tell you that this computer is like a feather compared to the 17" MacBook Pro I had just sold.

I tried out the remote migration tool, it told me it would take 18+ hours to transfer the 45GB of info from my desktop to my laptop so I stopped that transfer. The bad thing about the process is that it ties up both computers as well not allowing you to do anything else in the process.

So I used my older hard drive based 20GB iPod. Three trips between computers and about an hours of time, and all the info was transferred via USB from the desktop to the laptop.

And then I got inspired. For you see I sold my MacBook Pro for $1400, but spent $2200 between the MacBook Air, Apple Care, and the 9.25% the state takes out of my pocket, so I dug up a Intel based Mac Mini I had sitting in the closet and listed that on eBay hoping for around $500.

The auction ended tonight at $637.50. Not bad for a computer I got for free. I am now only $165 short of what was spent on the new laptop.

I will say this, this computer is slick. I do see some limitations with it seeing as it does not have a drive installed, but is is fast and powerful, and for what I use the laptop for, I think just about perfect.

I got inspired about selling the 2 computers on eBay, I went and reopened my eBay store with Geta agreeing to do the listing and managing of the store to try to sell the electronic component items I have in inventory for the company.

All in all a great week.

My sister WB posted about the trains, and included the link. This Saturday promises to be a big event at the train set as we are expecting the largest showing yet of participants. To show you how excited I am, I bought 4 powered engines to run on the layout. It should be a great time for all.

I will have to post here about the pipe we had break in a house we built, but that will have to wait until the next post.

For now, take care...
