Jim Morrison?

Jim Morrison, American poet like all the T-shirts worn by stoned 10th graders say? Or drunken bafoon mediocre at best, like their parents say? You tell me. Nikyambao@gmail.com

What did everyone get for Christmas?

With Christmas 08' in the bag, we at the Pop Exposé, being the good little Christians and Catholics we are, can't help but ask what did you get for Christmas? Did you get everything you wanted or were you a bad boy/girl and received a lump of coal? I (Nik) myself had a Merry Little Jesus' B-day and received a 16Gb iPod Touch and a Limited Edition Red XBOX 360 controller, both from my lovely girlfriend. Being a fan of the consumer electronic company , Apple, I was very pleased to get the iPod touch, which will go great with my MacBook and iPhone. The 2nd gen touch adds a volume rocker switch version 2.1 firmware and the new "Genius" iTunes feature which makes play lists based on your musical tastes and library content. Unlike the iPhone 3G the iPod touch is thinner and retains the chrome back like the 1st generation iPhone. All in all it is basically exactly like the iPhone but lacks the phone functions and the camera. Also, being 16GB I can now fit the rest of my music collection my iPhone couldn't hold. Enough about what I got, what did you get?

Lombardo on The Shadow People (or lack of)

First time seeing Shadow People. Sweet!

I think I feel a blog coming on......


BLOG 122108

Dear World,
We have a problem. At a time where the people need all the assets we can get...culturally, morally, inspirationally, we must salvage one in particular. The Shadow People have broken up. The band performed their last show this year.....but I believe we must petition them to re-group. Im not talking about a reunion concert for charity, because..I don't like charity. But these guys are unique, and I never saw them play in person. Im sure there are fans of the band who want them to keep playing, they must let their voices be heard! If there is enough feedback, maybe they will get back together. Maybe there should be a charity fund put together to produce
a larger compilation of songs, because, after all; Im a big fan of charity.
Either way, lets get this band to renew their bond, and keep the SP going!

PS Gilbert; I still haven't gone to the donut shop.

Hey Peeps!
Yeah, you...( 1 of 3 )
Get ready for some serious blogging!

COPters flying over Aub. lately. 2 AM the other night ( morning ). I wake up and go outside and try to estimate the proximity of the fly-beam. As it gradually gets closer to me, I begin my old football warmups and stretches, in preparation for a takedown
in the street! Getting pumped up...." It's go time...It's go time " ; slap my own face numerous times and give a quick chant ," Not in my Yard on 3........One! Two! Three! 'Not in My....." Too late, Code 4 and Heli is leaving. Now I'm awake....

WEATHER REPORT- Bad. Oddly enough as I write this, literally hundreds of birds flying over my house due NORTH. Hey maybe next Weather report will be....Good.

TECH REVIEW- I recently got the new all in one Blackberry. I can text, record, phone, and even blog. It has GPS,maps,traffic. I play games, check weather and download. Also it heats the house, tells me who WILL call tomorrow, and can remotely microwave
food in half time of full oven. To my surprise, it can create an invisible shield around me, contact the Pentagon , and blow up any object in one mile range, through it's night vision scope. If I attach it to my dashboard, my vehicle immediately has capability to fly at a
NR of 2500 statute miles. It can produce a hologram of Jayne Mansfield in my living room and has lasers, just for show. Oh...it also can play my favorite tunes!

SPORTS UPDATE- Hey Futbol fans....New MLS team in Seattle. Drew Carey part owner.
That true fact is weirder than any other stuff on the blog.

MISC.-
~ Bally's health club on Aub wy N. Closed today -for good. Sign reads: " Buy 1 month membership, get 1 month free".
~ Good place to meet ladies?......Their house.
~ All plastic Christmas decorations in peoples yard should be run over, legally.
~ Weird fact....Mormons, Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses....At least 2 of them are wrong.
~ Give a man a fish...he eats for a day; Teach a man to fish...he might eat for a day.
~ The whole Boxing or MMA debate....you can like both.
~ Fred Meyer is the New 7-11.

Thank you for your time.

Mobile Me?

Well my three month trial of Apple's push e-mail service, Mobile Me, has ended. I must say despite all the bad press it has gotten during the summer, it actually served me well to my surprise. I like the fact that it synced my e-mail, contacts, calenders, and photos between my iPhone and my Mac. The "push" technology really came in handy, and although a year subscription cost $100 (pretty typical of Apple), I am very tempted to pay the fee. I add a contact to my phone it appears on my Mac when I get home, I add a calender date to my Mac it appears on my iPhone, not glitch to be had, and trust me I live and die by iCal! So do we recomend it? PopExpo says, "Yeah!" My free trial is over and I really miss it. Maybe I'll just sign up for another free trial. If you own a iPhone, it definently complements it.

Why are we paying for xbox live still!

Like many people I've been hooked on the new Call of Duty game for xbox 360. And like many "360" owners I have downloaded the new xbox firmware, or as Microsoft calls it, The "New Xbox Experience". Overall I like the new update and prefer it over the old one, although I wish there was a type to search feature (you still have to scroll down a list when you search for some thing) but other than that it's all good. The avatar feature is pretty Wii esque and apeals to a much younger crowd. But what really gets me is the advertising that has now found it's way into our gaming consoles, I guesss it was unevidible. But with all the new loot I'm sure microsoft is making,by selling advertising space on xbox live, why do we still have pay 50 bucks for a subscription then pay for content we download? I mean playstation 3s' online network is free and you basically do the samething as xbox live?
Maybe it's one of those Microsoft things I'll never understand (like always).
