Barry Manilow, you know, singer and song writer extraordinaire, is releasing a new album on November 24th called “Greatest Songs of the Eighties”. Yep, he is… Why? I don’t know… so, umm… yeah.

Here is the track list for the new album:

• “Islands in the Stream” duet with Reba McEntire 
• “Open Arms” 
• “Never Gonna Give You Up” 
• “Have I Told You Lately” 
• “I Just Called to Say I Love You” 
• “Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)” 
• “Careless Whisper” 
• “Right Here Waiting” 
• “Arthur’s Theme (The Best That You Can Do)” 
• “Hard to Say I’m Sorry” 
• “Time After Time” 
• “I’ve Had the Time of My Life”

I watched SNL last night, hosted by Paul Rudd, with Beyonce performing, and I found the show to just not be funny for most of the show. What happened? The first three skits were just crass, and were more uncomfortable and tasteless than funny. It felt like they were going in a comedic direction of some of the newer comedies and it failed.

Beyonce’s first performance was really good, and I probably would have enjoyed it more, but I was still numb from the skits.

The only thing that was funny was Justin Timberlake on weekend update. Now, I really like the Weekend Update segment. It is pretty much the only segment on SNL that packs so many laughs into a short period of time. Seth Meyer’s performance last night felt blah. The redoing of the joke of guy robbing a store with no arms was just below their usual quality. The fourth run of the joke “he was unarmed”, was delivered at a time of “yeah thanks, but the joke was over by the second version of it.”.

Seriously, was Lorne Michael’s sleeping, on vacation, locked up in his office? What happened. My girlfriend asked me the turn off the TV after she had enough, and you know what, I agreed. I hope next week will be better. I hope they can do some better stuff now that the elections are over.

2moons is a free to play mmo rpg that is very similar to World of Warcraft. Pretty good game so far.

I’m sure I will put up more information here about it soon.

I came across this website http://www.votesmartflorida.org that provides more information about the various amendments up for this election.

It’s Monday and the election is tomorrow. I still need to review all the amendments on the ballot and the candidates for the other races. I’m finding that getting information on amendments is a little tricky and requires some more digging.

I wanted to note that in terms of McCain and Obama representatives that solicit for your vote, I’ve gotten the following results:

Obama:

• 1 person who has come up to me personally asking for my support of Obama. This was an Obama volunteer.
• 1 door hanger left on my door.
• 4 phone calls for Obama, one from George Lopez.
• No emails.

McCain:

• No one has come to my house. No one has called. No emails about it.

Palin for 2012:

• No one has come to my house. No one has called. No emails about it. She may be waiting for after Tuesday to start.

FYI, I registered independent. I did the true maverick move. Here’s why. I’m not too crazy about either party, but I tend to lean more towards the Democratic side. I tend to find Republicans cater more towards corporate greed and Democratics don’t have enough of a push to get things done at times. I prefer the avenue of “the best person for the job, no party bias”.

Getting this many Obama responses from the campaign, especially for my neighbor is not all that surprising. I live in a highly populated minority area, that’s low to middle class. The more surprising part is that lack of McCain representation. I’m not seeing it… at all.
