Meet the Asshole

What an interesting day I have had! I am one of those people who is a complete asshole some of the time, and says silly things to people! However today I realised that I need to change this so that I can become a better person otherwise I am going to loose the friends I have.

I guess one of the reasons I am an asshole is that I get pissed off alot! Espcially when friends do things that I do not like, I know that I shouldnt get pissed off, but I do and that is stupid, as 99% of the time my friends have a good reason for doing something I don't like. The good thing to come out of this is the fact that I will be arranging to see a counsellor to sort myself out once and for all, as i cant expect my friends to help me fix things this time, as I need professional help!

Penguin Power

Recently I have modified my computers setup, and now have a dual boot PC system running SuSE Linux 9.1 and Windows XP. I must say that Linux is great, and much nicer to work with than windows, for example I only have to click one icon to go on to the net, rather than in windows where it can take 2-5 clicks to get online! Using Kopete, the provided IM package is great as I can connect to AOL, ICQ, Jabber MSN and Yahoo! in an easy to use package, and not worry about will I be able to connect to x service - as it connects to all services fast, without any problems.

If you are a Windows user and you are fed up with bugs and crashes then Linux is for you. I would say that Linux can do what windows can - I can read MS Word documents in Linux, play my MP3's and even access all my Windows files as well. Best of all Linux is a free download, or cheap if you go buy it in a shop - I paid £24.99 for it, and it came with the operating system, a try before you install CD, loads of programs inlcluding Real Player, OpenOffice, Mozilla Firefox etc.

Sheyla Bonnick and the Sounds of Boney M

Click here for Sheyla's site

What a sham. It seems everyone wants to get in on the act of forming their own Boney M group. We now have Sheyla Bonnick, who was one of the original members, who left after 6months, to be replaced by Marcia "Griffiths" according to her website.

I think it is disgusting that there are 5 Boney M versions touring the world. I think there should only be 2 formations that are allowed to tour - Boney M feat Marcia Barrett and Boney M feat Liz Mitchell as they are the only 2 members who actually performed on Boney M's recordings. At Sheyla's site have a listen to her perfoming - she has used some Boney M backing tracks, and made some of her own, but it is clearly obvious that this is not Boney M!
