    If you pay attention to the quick link thingie over on the right you will see I added a link to a place called Penny Arcade. Penny Arcade is an on-line comic strip. It follows a group of friends as they play games. Penny Arcade has a nice style and is in color. One of many that have been keeping me from updating. I just love the idea of the on-line comic strip. There are lots as I said, but only a few that are worth a damn. And Penny Arcade is my favorite. The guys that do it have a sense of humor like mine. Twisted? Maybe. They do a game oriented comic strip. They make fun of PC, MAC, and Console games. Really funny shit if you get into that kind of thing. I of course highly recommend it if you do get into that kind of stuff.

    Here are some other on-line comics worth checking out.

    My second favorite on-line comic is Angst Technology. Angst Technology is about a game development group. Angst Technology is like Penny Arcade in many ways. They both have a darker comic flair. They both are not afraid to make fun of the whole game industry and themselves. With Angst Technology I even have a favorite character. Dante, Lead Programmer of the company. This is how the Angst Technology site describes Dante:

    The linchpin of the company. He’s the kind of guy that if he were hit by a bus, everyone might as well just go home. He is a hard worker, a chain smoker, and has strained his eyes to near nonexistence from staring at millions of lines of code. Some say he now has “binary” vision.

    Just funny shit. Go and check it out. Here’s one of my favorites.

    Another good one is PVP. PVP follows a group who works at a game magazine. PVP has a nice look, and is funny. PVP is a black and white strip with color Sundays. Yet it doesn’t get me as much as Penny Arcade. Still worth a look.

    You see the pattern here right? I play way to many computer games.

    Here is a few things that slightly irritate me. I say “slightly irritate” because I firmly believe it’s a waste of energy to hate. An emotion just not worth it.

    First up we have hotel guests. Not all of them, but more than a few. The ones that buy microwave popcorn and then have me make it for them. Yeah I know I work at a full service hotel. And I don’t mind once or twice. But come on, ten times in a row? MOD/Audit/Popcorn Gourmet Cook? Not the last time I checked. Tonight must be popcorn night.

    On the 28th of December I wrote a bit called Banditos telling about how the hotel had gotten robbed. Well they finally caught those little assholes. One of the hotel security guys let me know. Nineteen year olds. The gun was a BB gun. I just knew that gun didn’t look real. The worst that little shit could have done was shot my eye out. Stupid bastard.

    I don’t usually talk about stuff regarding Mac goings on. But this just floored me. At MacWorld Tokyo during a presentation by Steve Jobs, John Carmack (co-creator of Doom and Quake) showed off the first shots of Doom 3 in action. It was part of Apple showing off the GeForce 3. The GeForce 3 will be out for Macs first. The GeForce 3 combined with a powerful processor equals some amazing visuals. Just look at these shots of Doom 3:

    It looks like Toy Story quality graphics. And these shots are of the game engine, not some pre rendered cut scenes. Just amazing. Blue’s News has more shots of Doom 3 and also a video of the actual footage.

    I also had some action in the GuestBook again. This time Joey signed in with this to say:

    Are you being paid to do this site? It’s really cool. Anyway, when did you start this thing? Do you have website anniversaries? If so where’s the f—ing party, man!

    No I’m not being paid to do this site. I’m glad you like it. This site first saw the light of day back on January 31, 1998. As far as anniversaries no nothing big. I just chuckle to myself that it’s lasted this long. The fucking party? I don’t know, maybe for the five year. That could be the name of the event. The Hotelblues.com Fucking Party! What a night that would be. Thanks for stopping by Joey.

    Well it’s GuestBook time again. This time one of Disney’s beloved characters stopped in to chat with me. This is my first cartoon character so I will try to be nice (damn I was hoping for Bravo). Here’s what Tigger had to say, broken down of course:

    Ah, The Drama. That’s what I said when I finished reading the site. Why the hell do you let people make you feel bad? Who cares what you write on your web page? What’s the point, if you have to keep apologizing all the time.

    Consider it a diplomatic function and nothing else. I don’t apologize for everything. I only apologized once when I really meant it and was not just being diplomatic.

    Anyway, I didn’t drop by to lecture. I wanted to say hello. Apparently you’ve been contemplating the obstinate and overwhelming control of our government. I wanted to share my thoughts on the government. Their purpose is to maintain justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common welfare, and if you are still reading this I am kinda quoting the Preamble. I’m just fooling with you. I have no opinions of any importance.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. Well if you are still reading I’m directly quoting from a little ting called the First Amendment. And I happen to take this stuff seriously.

    I have no opinions of any importance.

    That’s to bad you feel like that Tigger. Of course he was just trying to soften the blow of his next comments:

    I do believe that one day they will force us to have chips implanted into our heads that communicate with a big computer down in Washington. the chip will tell Washington when we swear, when we belittle the president, and alert them to the frequency of our bathroom breaks. That’s why I’m moving out, man. I figure that at the rate that I am going, I’ll be ready to flee to Canada by time I’m 30. We’ll see. Nice talking to you, Turk.

    Well all I can say to you on this Tigger is “Good luck, eh Canuck!” Or maybe “see ya there when I arrive eh.” Anyway have you heard about this Government Program previously known as Carnivore? It will let the FBI get in to our e-mail. Stop Carnivore before we all go north.

    Wow my first conspiracy theory nut. Cool.

    Free Speech and Such 11:50 am-

    OK here is a few things that I found on Blue’s News. Now I feel these items are worth merit and as such deserve to be commented on. First on a lighter note we have this AP story found on Foxnews.com called Animal Rights Activists Unhappy with Survivor Pig Killing. Now I feel this story is like the reaction to the Bonsaikitten.com story. This is just a case of political correctness getting out of hand. If you were going to win a million dollars wouldn’t you kill a pig? I would have diced that bastard a lot worse than what Skupin did. They didn’t even show the pig get it. This is just getting out of hand. And keep in mind I happen to really dislike that damn Survivor show.

    Now this next one I take more serious. This story also reminds me of the Bonsaikitten.com story. I just can’t believe this. A gentleman named Glen Given wrote an editorial for his college paper the Stony Brook Press called “Editorial: Dear Jesus Christ, King of Kings, all I ask is that you smite George W. Bush.” Now granted this is a very controversial topic. Another Foxnews.com news item called Secret Service Accused of Threatening Free Speech which I think explains why I decided to tell you about it. Now the actual piece that Given wrote isn’t on the net as of yet. If you download a copy of the letter that The Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press wrote to the feds. the letter is in the PDF format and you need a copy of the Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it but it does include the editorial in question. I happen to have a copy located locally on my server which you can download here.

    Here are a few of the highlights in case you don’t feel like clicking links:

    Secret Service agents questioned him extensively and asked him to submit to a psychological evaluation which…consisted of personal questions about his family and his parents’ divorce. During questioning, Mr. Given was not represented by an attorney, nor was he advised of his rights as an accused. He also signed a medical release authorizing the Secret Service to obtain his medical records. Mr. Given was told by Secret Service agents that his editorial was not protected by the First Amendment… Agents also stated that they may file charges if they received additional complaints about the editorial. Although Mr. Given voluntarily signed the waivers and offered to remove all remaining newspapers from stands, such actions were taken under the threat of arrest and without legal counsel. The paper has since reported that 2000 copies of the newspaper are missing from a storage area, and there is a concern that Secret Service agents seized those copies.

    Read the rest for yourself. Can you believe this? I find this to be alarming. I plan on personally following this story. I understand that treating the President is a serious offense. But this was an obvious case of Satire and Parody. The lawyers defending Givens called his editorial a “Political Hyperbole.” Just read the thing. If you can’t see that it’s satire well then you probably find this site offensive as well.

    So what I want to know is this not the USA? Doesn’t the First Amendment count for anything anymore? The term Free Speech means nothing now. And why are they singling out this Givens? The Lawyers point out that Saturday Night Live has parodied the office of the President for years. They haven’t ever been faced with this kind of shit. Did anyone else see the skit recently were SNL has Bush senior thinking about shooting Bush junior. isn’t that the same thing?

    And when I say “what’s next?” I mean it. They take away our freedoms bit by bit hoping we don’t notice.

    Nose Bleed 6:50 am-

    Warning this one is a little gross. I’m at work. Big surprise of course. The majority of my posts have been done at work for almost the last six months. We had a fire alarm pulled and a drunk rowdy asshole. I’m trying to get some work done and still goof off on the net. I’m sitting at the laptop checking my site out and I feel this stream of snot come out of my nose. I go to wipe my nose and find blood. So I’m leaking on my shirt and inadvertently wipe blood on my pants also.

    Of course I don’t see these things right away. I go to the bathroom to wipe my bloody nose and I see myself in the mirror. I look like I just killed someone. The blood on my pants could have been my victim grasping on my pant leg in a feeble attempt of mercy. Guest are going to love this. At least I won’t get to many complaints when people see me.

    I of course couldn’t help but laugh when I saw myself. It’s the maniac in me. Other than that it’s been a quiet night. Be warned this site causes nose bleeds.

    Quiet Times 7:34 am-

    It’s been slow here on my little chunk of the net. It seems I have made the owner of A day in the life of a Crackwhore mad at me. I put up her comments regarding the Bonsaikitten.com website. I didn’t ask her permission to post her remarks and I apologize for that. I also don’t have any ill will towards her for her opinion on the subject.

    Now I don’t care if someone wants to take my words all I can say is go for it! Help yourself. For that matter, if you want run a website with the name go for it. Last time I checked www.hotelblues.net and www.hotelblues.org are open for someone to purchase. I will even let you use my layout if you want. People take this all to seriously.

    Anyway it has been really quiet. No GuestBook entries from Secretive. So everything is back to normal. Normal of course not really the “normal” most people expect from the word. Quiet is good. It keeps me out of trouble. Sherry drop me a line, because I don’t want you to be mad at me. Ok? The Bonsaikitten.com link came at a bad time, and my response meter was set at piss everyone off at once. Again I’m sorry.
