Secretly Admired?

I was checking out my site statistics and noticed I had a hit from tamu.edu and a bunch of hits from pacbell.net . I wonder if the ladies of immoderation are secretly spying on me? I don't want to have my fantasies ruined, so one can only hope hehe. The April edition of www.immoderation.com is up and running, so be sure to check that out after you've caught up on some required reading at the bitchin blog.

Holy Shit, no wonder he's so damn weird!

I got off of work and promptly checked in with the Drudge Report as I always do, and stumbled across the answer that explains Michael Jackson's problems. This is London is reporting they have tapes of conversations of Jackson admitting that he was a virgin until the age of 32 and desperately wanted to have sex with a woman because his virginity bothered him so much. Now, if that doesn't explain his weirdness, nothing does. Not getting any until 32 years of age? Holy shit, I can't even comprehend that.

Yeah, she still does it for me

So I was getting ready to check email this morning, and happened to be on Yahoo's mainpage, when something caught my eye on their "Buzz Log" section, and it happened to be an article about Christina Applegate's performance in the CBS Sunday Movie Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas. I happened to watch this movie the other night for a couple of reasons: I was bored, and Christina is some good eye-candy. She played a doctor in the movie, but I'll spare you all the details. Go here if you want to read more about the movie. A lot of people are dismissive of her because she played Kelly on Married.. with Children for so long. I'm not saying the girl should be nominated for an Oscar, but she put in a good performance in the TV movie.

Not that the question comes up a lot, but if someone asks me what my "type" is, looks wise, she pretty much nails it in this picture

Who knows, I've never met the woman, and she could be a complete bitch in person, but I'm not going to let that possibility crush my dreams lol.

"There is no spoon"

I was riding the bus again today. So was the lady with the two cell phones. Today she was dressed in medical scrubs. Ahh, well that explains it. She's obviously important, that's why she carries two phones and talks louder than necessary. She started in with her nonsense again, talking on the phone. Luckily the other person didn't pick up and she was forced to leave a longer-than-necessary message on voicemail. This is all the happening while I internally screamed woooosaaaaa... wooooosaaa, and trying to pretend that the lady actually didn't exist, a la Matrix. I'm also sad to report that today I realized I don't have the capability to do a force-choke. I tried, and failed. The force is not strong with me, I am just a padawan.

Rants and random acts of violence

I was riding the bus to work this morning (no, I don't have a car... feel free to send me some money if you want!) and not long after I picked a seat we were picking up more passengers at the next stop. A lady got on the bus, found a seat while talking to someone on her cell phone. Now, being in telecommunications you would think I wouldn't have a problem with her cell phone usage, but I did. My problem was the that she was having a louder-than-necessary conversation with whoever was on the other end and it was quite annoying. To top it off, during her conversation she dug into her purse and produced another cell phone, and proceeded to tell whoever she was talking to that she would call them back because she needed to check the voicemail on the other phone. By this time I was quite perturbed. She checked the voicemail, called the other person back and gave them an update on her recent message. By this point I was using a full blown Jedi mind-trick to convince this lady to end her conversation, which she promptly did. Thankfully, neither of her phones were Nextel phones. If I had heard the annoying chirps of a direct-connect converstation linking up, I'd have killed the bitch..

Thank You!

I wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who reads my blog. Not just the regulars who leave comments and/or send me emails with tips to improve my blog, but I want to thank the random viewer who happened across my blog via blogspot. I think I am done making any major changes for the time being, and I hope that the comments pick up. I'm always curious where my readers are, so if you have a moment, please scroll to the bottom and sign my guestbook!

Sales Update

A while back I was whining about my job and how sales were down. I'm happy to report that my sales have improved quite a bit, but I still have a ways to go before I'm happy. The end of my first month is approaching, and I'm not going to meet quota, which means no commission check next month, which sucks.. but I didn't intend to meet my objectives this month, and neither did management. They did hope for better numbers then I did post, but a new month is almost here and the pressure will be on. No big deal. I'm much happier than I was two weeks ago and I think I'll be fine.

More Changes

Ok, thanks to the help of digitalicat, again, I've made what I hope to be the last changes to my blog format except for one small cosmetic change. I haven't decided how I'm going to divide up content between the two sidebars, but I do have some ideas in mind. I have re-enabled the comments section, and also decided to keep the guestbook going as well. I didn't think I'd have to do this, but I'll be moderating the comments section and removing off topic and/or juvenile comments. The purpose for this blog was to give me a creative outlet to write stuff, and to practice some HTML skills. Lately I feel like I'm babysitting. Having the comments section is cool, but if I have to, I'll just remove it again.

New additions

I added a clock and a "tell your friend" button to the blog. Not sure on final placement yet, I'd like to get them added to a sidebar on the left side if I ever add one. The comments section has been taken down from the posts. I've added a guestbook at the very bottom of the blog. Also, above this post is an ad for bravenet.com, which is where I got the clock, "tell your friend" button, and guestbook. If you're interested in adding any of these items (and many more) to your blog, then click the banner to get to their website.. if you do, you'll get the free stuff and I get paid! Thanks

Punk Bitch

This could be a long post. It deals with politics the war in Iraq, and the U.S. Army.

First, a short disclaimer. I am in favor of the war. Some people do not think we should be in Iraq, and others feel that we should've only gone to Iraq with more international support. I don't agree with those feelings, but I do respect them. Hell, I don't even get mad at the things that Michael Moore says. He has his opinions on Bush and the War, and I think he's entitled to those opinions.

Some people get my blood boiling though, and it's people like Jeremy Hinzman (referred to from this point forward as "Punk Bitch") that do it. Some background info:

You see, Punk Bitch joined the Army on a 4 year enlistment, and signed up at some point in 2002. Now, anyone who joined the Army after September 11th, 2001 knew there was an almost certainty that they would deploy and see some sort of combat during their enlistment. Well Mr. Bitch applied for conscientious objector status prior to his 82nd Airborne (rapid deployment unit- one of the first to go for those of you not familiar with the Army) deploying to Afghanistan. He either did the deployment, or was not sent on the deployment due to his objections and then proceeded to go AWOL from his unit in January 2004, just prior to his unit deploying to Iraq and fled to Canada requesting political asylum.

My problems with Punk Bitch are not that he had an unwillingness to go to Iraq, or that he disagreed with the U.S. Military occupying the country. My problem with Punk Bitch is that he joined knowing the possibilities. He made a commitment to his fellow soldiers that he would be there for them, as they are there for him. When you join the Army during peace time or war you do so knowing full well that as a soldier you give up some of the basic freedoms that others enjoy. You sign up for a term (enlistment) of a specified period of time, you understand that you will not be allowed free will to do as you please at certain points in your career, and you understand that you will be made available for combat operations should the need arise. Let's take a look at Punk Bitch, just to illustrate what level of pansey this guy is:


Now let's be real about something. The military, not just the U.S., but any country, is a destructive means to a political solution. These are things you must understand when you take an oath as a soldier. I cannot describe how much it irritates me knowing that this guy turned his back on his fellow soldiers. Especially in a situation as this, where some people have the diluted idea that the U.S. is illegally waging war in Iraq. If you believe that this is true, you are watching too much mainstream media. The truth is, that the U.N. on numerous occasions passed resolutions authorizing force if Saddam was not in compliance (which he wasn't). Where people are mistaken is that the U.S. went to the U.N. to get international support for the war, allies, and partners for the implementation of the war. They did not seek approval to wage the war. They already had it. I also understand that some people, no matter how much evidence is produced, no matter how just the effort is, will not back war or combat at any level. For whatever the reason, they are wholesale against the idea of war. I am perfectly fine with that, and that's why it's great that you can volunteer for military service in this country. No body is forcing you to sign up these days, and anyone joining has to be willing to accept the possibility that they will be forced to do things they don't agree with, whether it be a deployment to Iraq or getting up every morning at 5:30A.M. or earlier, when it's raining and cold, just to conduct physical fitness training. It comes with the job. Punk Bitch has also gone on record as saying he told the U.S. Army that he was willing to return as long as he was put in a job that would not send him on a deployment or into combat. Obviously, the Army refused. He made a commitment and they are going to make him honor that commitment. Well, not really. If they get their hands on him, he's going to go to jail for being a deserter. Thankfully, the Canadian government realized he didn't have a compelling argument for political asylum and rejected his case. I don't feel our government should compel anyone to be in combat if they don't want to. If it's not for you, then don't sign up for the job. If you do sign up for the job, then I don't have any mercy for you. Go do your job and quit being a pussy, Punk Bitch.

And for the record, I served in the U.S. Army. I also volunteered at two different times to go to Iraq, but the Army never selected me to go. I am not monday-morning quarterbacking this.

Tiny URL

I've known about the wonders of TinyURL for about a year and half now, and went to their website to create a URL for the snowmobile racing post and found out I could link their website. You may notice a TinyURL bar at the top of the page.

The purpose of TinyURL is to create much smaller links you can use in emails, blogs, etc. You may have received an email in the past from a friend with a link, but you can't click on it because the link was broken up during the sending process. The site creates a compact URL that is easy to use.

I originally added the TinyURL bar to the bottom of the blog, and it fit nicely, but I wanted people to be able to see it better, so I moved it to the top of the page. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it on top or not because I'm not entirely pleased with how it looks. I can't put the bar on my sidebar because it's too big and distorts the blog, so it's either gonna have to be on top or the bottom. I'm currently running it in both spots so I can get your feedback. Which do you think will look better? Comments are welcome.

Snowmobile Racing

For those of you that aren't familiar with snowmobile racing, it may suprise you that they do in fact race them, and they also do it in the middle of summer! I'll admit that it is weird seeing a snowmobile being operated without snow, but it's fairly popular in the northern states, and these are drag races. 600 feet in about 6 seconds or so.. snow is not required when you're running the snowmobile for such a short period of time. They have semi-professional races and professional races. The payouts are generally not that big unless you're racing in the pro circuits. Well, my father has been doing this for a while and has done well enough that Yamaha Corporation gave him a snowmobile to race! Here is a picture of it in action:





You can see a bigger picture of it on Yamaha's website here


My dad does all the technical work and testing for the snowmobile and has one of his friends do the driving. This sport is similar to horse racing. Every pound counts and they find the smallest person that can handle the snowmobile to put in the drivers seat. They were entered in a couple of classes this year and managed to win one class. Not too bad for their first year on the pro circuit. My dad also didn't get the snowmobile from Yamaha until the last minute. He was going to quit racing all together due to the overwhelming costs involved unless Yamaha gave him a snowmobile to race. They waited until the last minute to make sure he was serious. You don't just give a $9,000 snowmobile (before setting it up for racing) to every Joe who says they are going to quit racing, even if they've been very successful on the semi-pro circuit. I don't necessarily blame them for that, but it would've been nicer to get things tested and set up correctly before the season started.

What a week.. and it's only half over!

Things have been a little odd this week. It's one of those things where you're waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Monday was a long and mostly boring day. My sales sucked and it put me in another shitty mood.

I live in an apartment complex which has a community washer and dryer set up. Last night I went to go do some laundry, and all the washers and dryers were in use. I've been living here for about 5 months and it's the first time that's happened during the week. I never wash clothes on the weekend because the place is always packed. I finally got my clothes washed and into a dryer (always a nervous point for me ever since I had 4 sets of pants and a couple of shirts stolen when I left the clothes unattended about 2 months ago). The dryer completed it's cycle and my clothes were still damp. These are coin-op machines and I'm not sticking more money into them when my clothes were 20 minutes from being dry. So, last night I had clothes hanging up all over the house air drying LOL.

Today started out rather uneventful. Got up, went to work with a somewhat neutral attitude (trying to stay positive about work and all I can come up with is a middle of the road attitude LOL) . The calls were coming in at a decent pace, had easy customers to work with and ended up with a good amount of sales without having to push hard. Today went how I invisioned everyday going when I took this job. I got a ride home from work with Karma and realized I forgot my house key at work! Dammit! I had to crawl through a bedroom window to get in the house..but I made it without anyone calling the police for a potential breaking and entering.

Two days left in the work week and I'm hoping for more days like today, sales-wise. I'm off this weekend and I'll probably be spending Easter with my kids. I haven't seen them in a few weeks because of working on the weekends and I'm looking forward to it big time.

Format Issues Fixed!

Thanks to some help from a fellow Wisconsinite, Digitalicat, I've fixed the format problems! In a nutshell, the size of some of my pictures were larger than the space allocated for them, causing Internet Explorer to resize things to accomodate them. I guess that might be a userfriendly thing to do in most cases, but it surely caused me a lot of heartache. Now that I have this fixed I'm a much happier person, but I'm not giving up Mozilla Firefox. I'm hooked now. If you'd like to give it a try please click the Firefox link on the right side of my blog.

For his troubles, Digitalicat is earning a spot in links section!

Format Problems Resolved, sort of..

As far as I know, my blog still does not format correctly with Internet Explorer. I'll have to email blogger about this since it appears to be a problem with their template. I have found a fix however, that some of you may be interested in. Derek has been trying to convice me to switch to Netscape's browser, but I have some bias against Netscape that I can't even explain lol, so I decided to give Mozilla Firefox a try. I've heard some good reviews about it and I decided to give it a try. The first thing that suprised me is when I went to download it. It's free, and it is only about a 6MB download.. that's incredibly small for a major change on your computer. I got it up and running which was very painless, it automatically will import your favorites and other settings from Internet Explorer if you want it to (you can also choose to import nothing and start fresh). I used the broswer about 10 times before I decided to make it my default browser. I'm very happy with it so far and you'd like to try it out, there is a link on my sidebar, which may be at the lower right corner of this blog if you're currently using I.E.

This is why you don't mess with old ladies!

Below is a link to a MP3 clip of a message left by a guy on his bosses voicemail, letting him know he would be late. He witnessed an accident at an intersection, and the fight that occured afterwards hehe...

Get the clip here (right-click then "save as")

Template Issues!

If you're reading my blog, you'll notice that I have a bunch of empty space on the right side where my sidebar is supposed to be, and that the sidebar is pushed to the bottom of the page. Please bear with me while I get this fixed. I'm not an expert on HTML and this particular issue is giving me headaches. If you know how to fix it, please feel free to leave a comment.

Thanks!

Wanna Job?

I was cruising around the internet and found out that the NYPD is now hiring. So, if you're looking for a job go here. Police work can at times be a very unrewarding job, and it's not for everyone. If you think you've got what it takes, give it a shot!

Some quick info:

With base salary, average overtime and night shift differential, holiday pay, and uniform allowance, a Police Officer earns over $44,000, on average, in the first year and over $70,000, on average, after five years. There is additional longevity pay every five years up to twenty years of service.

1 in 6 uniformed members of the NYPD are Detectives. A Detective’s (3rd Grade) average earning is $88,000* (Promotion to Detective is not based on a promotional exam, it’s based on merit)
1 in 7 uniformed members of the NYPD are Sergeants. A Sergeant’s average earning is $91,000*
1 in 20 uniformed members of the NYPD are Lieutenants. A Lieutenant’s average earning is $105,000*

And probably the most important benefit: You do not have to live in NYC to work for them.

This week's sign that the Devil is among us.....

I just read a story about blind 19 year-old college student in New York City who was raped by a person posing as a good samaritan after she got off the train at the wrong stop. He offered to help her backtrack to her correct stop, but instead lured her into unmonitored elevator and raped her. I can't help but feel disgusted while reading the story. Can you imagine how it must be to get raped and never be able to point your attacker out of a police line-up or walking down the street? Hell, it could be someone who randomly found her or it could someone from her own neighborhood. You can read more about this story here.

I hope they find a way to catch that bastard.

An Army of One

I've been in a little funk the last few days. It seems like I get this way once or twice a year and it usually passes with time, but each time it comes back it digs at me a little deeper.

It's not really depression, or anything like that.. It just feels like I'm running in place and not making progress sometimes. Here is a little recap of what's going on in my life at this moment:

1. I'm divorced.
2. I have two wonderful kids I only see on the weekends.
3. I work in sales. I don't really like working in sales, but it seems that's where life has taken me these days.
4. I'm currently not doing as well in my job as I'd like, so I'm not happy about that.
5. I'm single, and it appears that I'll be that way for the forseeable future.
6. Since I'm not doing well in sales, I'm not doing well on the income front.
7. All of my friends have recently moved out of town for various reasons. I'm constantly bored.

So, as you can see life is peachy these days. Now, I don't dwell on it all day long or sit alone in tears, but it's frustrating because, as I said before, I feel like I'm running in place. Now to figure out what one does about this fine situation I've put myself in. I know the answer, but at times I'm afraid to acknowledge it I think. The answer is the U.S. Army. This isn't some 9/11 guilt trip or anything like that. I was in AND out of the Army before Osama Bin Laden was a household name. Looking back, the Army was a giant pain in the ass sometimes, because I was young and wanted to change things that I had no control over. Overall though, my time in the Army was good. It was the only job I've had where I honestly felt pride. It was a job that I was pretty good at, and I met a lot of great people.

Why not go join again? Ha! Easier said than done my friends. I have been out for about 6 years now, and I am not in shape at all. I need to drop about 50 lbs to even consider signing on the dotted line again. But, it may be worth it. Only time will tell. I need to get back into shape regardless if I ever want to join the Army again, so now I've decided to put together an exercise program to trim down a little. Gonna start with some light jogging to get back into the mode and take it from there.

Who knows? Maybe a year from now I'll still be in sales, making that money.. or maybe I'll be back in a patrol car protecting soldiers. Part of me wants to be in uniform, but part of me likes the luxury of not having to be in uniform anymore. I'll keep you posted.

O.J.'s got a new roommate..

Well today Robert Blake was acquitted on murder charges. Does anyone (besides the jury) believe this guy didn't kill his old lady? I have not kept up with the trial, but apparently he had a good defense attorney. You've got guys saying they were solicited by Blake to commit the murder, you've got a very short and public timeframe. My understanding is that the only reason they couldn't nail him is because gunpowder testing of his hands wouldn't be conclusive since Blake had a weapons permit and apparently shoots his pistol often. I guess now he can move in with O.J. and they can look for the "real killers" together.

Fond Memories

There are times like today that I wish I was back in the Army. If you have friends or family that were once in the military and they get this goofy look on their face when talking about their experiences in the service you might be confused about what they are thinking on the inside. It's hard to explain the feeling you get, but I think I've found a website that helps people understand what's going on. It's called www.soupsandwich.net . "Soup Sandwich" is a phrase heard often in the military and it doesn't have any type of secret meaning. It's often used in sentences like "Soldier, you're ate up like a soup sandwich!" You can find out more about it by going to the website, but that's not the main reason I want you to check it out. There some hilarious stories on that website from a couple of soldiers reliving various events in their careers. It's these stories that people who used to be in the service remember when they think back to those days. Sure, there are plenty of things that suck about being in the Army.. boring details, being out in the rain on days you'd rather stay in bed, having to listen to supervisors that have no brains.. but the stories on this website illustrate everything that is great about the Army. If you're in the right unit with the right people, it can be like a real life version of Animal House, a frat group, and an enjoyable job all rolled into one. Please check out this site, and I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I did!

Chronicles of Derek

In my first post ever, I gave a little shout out to my friend Derek and his blog. I've been planning to give him a bigger plug when I had the chance and today is as good a day as any. Derek posts some really good stuff to his blog and his site was really my motivation for starting one of my own. He has also started a forum with a lot of different topics you can post on. It's pretty cool and he's hoping to get more members to sign up and post stuff. Currently there seems to be about 10 of us that do all the posting, but we'd like to see more contributions. So, if you're looking to meet some people and bullshit about various topics, I encourage you to check it out.

The Feud is over... for now at least

Ok, so our friends at MTV News are reporting that the feud between 50 Cent and The Game is officially over, with both rappers appearing at a press conference to announce that they are done fighting. I haven't seen any video from the press conference, but it's said that both rappers barely made eye contact and had the look of two kids being forced to apologize by their mother's. This is probably not far from the truth. I'm sure the record label made them put this behind them.

The thing that seems weird to me though, is both rappers contributed a donation to the Boys Choir of Harlem, but 50 held up a giant check in the amount of $150,000 while The Game held up a check in the amount of $103,500. This seems odd from a public relations standpoint. Was 50 trying to upstage The Game again? You'd think they would've held up one check with a grand total, or held up checks of equal value, say $100,000 even if 50 planned to contribute more. I think it looks bad for them, and I'm sure that the next time they start arguing, 50 Cent will be saying something about his bigger donation.

I was going to try and find some pictures of the conference to post on the blog, but honestly I don't feel like looking, I'm lazy, and don't really care if they buried the hatchet or not. You can see some pictures for yourself by visiting this link:

"I'm like Moses in the music business"

So James Brown recently was asked about any possible retirement plans, which he denied saying he still had work to do spreading the message of love, tolerance, and understanding through his music. He was also quoted as saying "Retire for what? What would I do? I made my name as a person that is helping. I'm like Moses in the music business,".

Some people are just full of it and this is a great point. How many people can honestly say that they are fans of James Brown? Sure, he's had some good songs over the years but he is mostly known these days for longevity and domestic violence. Anyone remember this great shot of Mr. Brown at his booking? **EDIT** picture taken down due to sizing issues



Get a grip man. If you want to stay out there making music, that's fine with me. Don't pass yourself off as the Moses of anything though. I don't think Moses would approve.

Sales are down!

Thought I'd post a few words about work. For those who don't know, I work in sales for a Local Telephone company. Simply put, when you move into a new house and want to set up service, you talk to someone like me who gets it all set up for you. Whenever someone wants to set up new service, make adjustments to their current service, or add features such as DSL service, I get "sales" credit. Well, sales have sucked that last few days! I've been dealing with a lot of billing issues and other things that don't go towards my quota. That's life in sales I guess.. can't get too high, can't get to low.. but it would be nice to string a few days together that were all high. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself because the job is relatively easy once you learn the systems involved and I'm new to the job (second week out of training) but I'm anxious to see some big commission checks. Stay tuned as I'll try to give you some updates on how things are progressing.

The Boys at Bud

So, the other day, my buddy Derek was giving a testimonial about the greatness of Bud E. Ever since reading his story, I've been wanting to try some of that stuff. However, I usually don't drink during the week because I don't like going to work with a hangover or headache. Tonight I went to the corner store, hoping to pick up some of this B to the E that I've been hearing about. The store didn't have any! But to my suprise, they did have another of Budweiser's new brews... Budweiser Select. This is their new "low carb" beer, advertised as a Distinct and Flavorful Beer with a Crisp Taste That Finishes Clean . I figured it was a bunch of crap but since I'm already pissed that I can't get some B-E (too lazy to go find it elsewhere) I'm like what the hell.. I'll try it. I'm on my second beer right now and they are not joking.. it definitely finishes clean.. there is no aftertaste what-so-ever. As far as flavor goes, it tastes just like a budlight.. but it tastes like my 10th budlight normally does.. they go down like water, so smooth and clean.. you can definitely get drunk on these because you'll want to keep drinking them. Now, I said they go down like water, but I don't feel that they have a watered down taste to them. There is no bite to this beer, you can definitely chug these down if you want to. I give the beer an A+, and it doesn't hurt that it only has 3.1 grams of carbs per bottle.. that's good for fat kids like me who try to do the Atkins Diet.

125 and still kickin

This lady lives in Brazil and may be the oldest person alive. Guinness is checking their records to make sure. She has outlived 4 or 6 children, and got me thinking about what it would be like to actually be that old... Would you be tired of living at this point? Supposedly she is of sound body and mind and currently lives in a wood shack in a small town. How do you pass the time and enjoy yourself when you have no more people of your age to hang out with? I think if I was that old I'd be trying to make money in some way or another just for being that old, I'd try to give lectures about things I've witnessed or encountered over the years or something like that. That is, if I didn't get tired of being that old and commit suicide. I'm not an advocate of suicide, but I think it would cause a certain amount of mental anguish being that old.. what do you have left to live for? Well, I don't know how she feels about it, but if she's happy that's good and I hope she is around to celebrate 130 and beyond.

5 Years, $13.75 Million Dollars

.
My buddy from high school, Casey Rabach just signed a 5 year, $13.75 million dollar contract with the Washington Redskins!

I want to give a big congrats to him, he is/was the hardest working athlete I've personally ever known, and I'm glad he finally is getting his payday. He's been with the Baltimore Ravens the last few years, mostly as a backup but was given the chance to be a starter after there were some injuries to other players. The move is a good fit for him personally, although the Redskins are going to struggle again this year (and they are not my favorite team!).

New Rap Battle?

I wonder if a new East Coast VS West Coast fued is in the making?

Yahoo News reports that 50 Cent has reportedly been feuding with The Game and that the two are no longer on speaking terms, with 50 claiming that The Game was no longer a member of G-Unit because he was disloyal and not willing to participate in 50 Cent's long running fueds with Nas, Fat-Joe, and Jadakiss. New York radio station WQHT was conducting an interview with 50 Cent when allegedly The Game and his crew tried to enter the station to confront him. They were denied entry to the station and a fight broke out with someone in The Game's crew getting shot in the leg, supposedly by a member of 50's group.

So is this going to be the next version of the Biggie/Tupac feud? Who knows for sure, but I do know that 50 Cent is no stranger to violence and has more holes than a block of swiss chesse the number of times he's been shot up. I wonder if Shug Knight is involved in this somewhere along the line.. it wouldn't suprise me, he's always around when the bullets start flying.
