there has been a lot of patriotic talk going on which has caused a lot of arguments, i figured instead of all this badness it would be cool if we could share with each other why we love where we are and what we are part of so much and what causes us to be patriotic.. i love where i live so much so i wanted to share with you all a bit of my life.
ok so you will all probably find this boring but hey ho:.
here is the link to a short tourist film to my home county and my everyday surroundings, please have a look:.
have been using morpheus for a couple of years now, and hasn't been too bad at all, got about 400 tracks download.
since gettiing aol broadband, the diversity seems to have diminished a bit, either i'm on the wrong dsl provider or morpheus isn't as good as it used to be.
the one i was on previous (can't remember the name now) went totally pearshaped after it got served a writ for using copyrighted material.....anyway, know of any other good music file sharing sites?
Personally I wouldn't have heard of a lot of great bands if it hadn't been for file sharing.
I usually download stuff I have on tape or old dance records that were only available on vinyl (usually extremely rare nowadays).
If I buy cds it's usually from the cheapest vendor if possible, I don't think £16 for a cd is cheap, if I can get it for £9 then i'll buy it from there.
Oh and if you're after older albums try www.101cd.com. They have a big selection of cds from £4.99 (decent ones).

for those of you residing in the northern hemisphere, there's nothing more satisfying than the onset of spring.
this a.m., after working a long shift at work, i arrive home after 5 a.m., and it's pleasantly mild (i live in toronto) and the sky is partly cloudy.
the moon is no longer full, but still very bright.
Well I've decided to paint the bathroom. Something a bit brighter as it has no windows.
Wish I had balcony or patio. Would be nice for sitting outside drinking a nice cool beer or twelve.

... i would say that we have seen chemical weapons tests in syria over the past 12, 15 months, rumsfeld said, without giving details.
we have intelligence that shows that syria has allowed syrians and others to come across the border into iraq, people armed and people carrying leaflets indicating that theyll be rewarded if they kill americans and members of the coalition.. syria has long been on a u.s. list of states suspected of supporting terrorism...... you can find more here:.

Bush Subconsciously Sizes Up Spain For Invasion
WASHINGTON, DC—During a White House meeting with visiting Spanish prime minister and fellow allied-forces leader Jose Maria Aznar, President Bush subconsciously sized up Spain for invasion Monday.
"Aznar was pledging his ongoing support for the Iraqi war effort when, out of nowhere, this odd look came across George's face," National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said. "He sat quiet for a moment, like he was going to say something, but then he just shook his head as if to chase the thought away."
At the meeting, Aznar ruled out sending Spanish combat troops to Iraq but pledged to provide a hospital vessel, a mine-clearing unit, a team of chemical-detection experts, and several oil tankers.
"And you have no nuclear weapons, right?" Bush asked Aznar. "And no chemical or biological weapons or anything like that? Just curious."
Aznar also promised that if Iraq attacks neighboring Turkey, he would contribute six F-18 warplanes, a Hercules C-130 refueling plane, and a search-and-rescue helicopter.
"The Hercules C-130," said Bush, staring off into the distance. "Those are pretty old. Hmm."
As the conversation turned toward the siege of Baghdad, Bush interrupted and returned to the subject of Spain's military strength—or lack thereof.
"So, all in all, your country has 105,000 standing troops total?" Bush said. "That's it?"
Aznar later told Bush that Spain's King Juan Carlos sent his greetings, once again piquing the president's interest.
"It seems a bit outdated to have a king," Bush said. "Are your people happy with him? Do you think your people would rather rule themselves, like in a democracy?"
Aznar explained that Spain is a constitutional monarchy.
"The prime minister must be approved by our legislature," Aznar told Bush. "You see, each of our autonomous regions has its own regional government and exercises legislative and executive authority in the manner outlined by the national constitution."
Bush then asked about Spain's longstanding troubles with separatist groups.
"That situation with the Catalans and the Basques," Bush said. "How serious is that?"
When Aznar inquired as to why Bush was asking, the president said he "was just wondering, for no reason."
"There was something strange about his questions, although I cannot put my finger on it," Aznar said. "And he seemed very excited about the anti-government protests in Madrid a few days ago, until I told him they were protesting our involvement in the Iraq war."
Secretary of State Colin Powell, who was in attendance, also noticed some unusual behavior on the part of Bush.
"During the meeting, the president was absentmindedly doodling on some documents, one of which had a map of Europe on it," Powell said. "I noticed he drew a series of arrows originating on the Canary Islands and moving in toward Madrid."
Powell recalled that during last month's summit in the Azores, Bush seemed oddly fixated on Spain.
"[Bush] said Spain didn't seem to be all that prosperous for a nation whose main export is oil," Powell said. "I told him Spain doesn't produce a lot of oil. Finally, we figured he must've been thinking of olive oil, and we both had a big laugh about it."
Powell said that upon returning home from the Azores summit, Bush continued to insist that "there is some big oil-producing nation that speaks Spanish."
"I told him he must be thinking of Venezuela," Powell said. "They are very rich in oil. So now he wants a full report on Venezuela by Monday. Ever since this war with Iraq, he's been a real geography buff."
