That whooshing sound you hear is a collective sigh. That, or the sound of a 30mm air-burst munition ripping up some dudes. On second thought, that'd be way cooler.

2) Is Generation Kill decent? I just wrapped up The Wire and now I'm in a funk. I'll never be able to watch regular TV again. But this is from the same guy, right? I haven't heard as much so I assume it's not on the same level but is it worth watching?

"Hills of Capri" is a sweet, light song inspired by memories of my trip through Italy. Hope you guys like it. :D At ArcKnight's request, I added a download link.
Check it out and let me know what you think!

the town two minutes from me (amherst, ma) has this festival every year called 'extravaganja'. basically everyone gets in the town square, and they don't really care if you light up while you are on the commons. I went last year and it was a good time, some music, bunch of vendors, and even some titties. Impromptu shackmeet? It's gonna be held on 4/25 this year. I'm not smoking as i'm activly job seeking, but I'm hoping to get a vendor booth to sell of some of my hookahs from our failed venture, will get word on that tomorrow. My cuz and WasylM are coming into town from rochester ny that weekend, so should be a good time. If'n ya want i'm sure there would be couches available at the house. voodooraze, if you are interested, and I do get a vendor booth you should bring some art to sell!
that is all.

So apparently, any type of bomb or grenade is a WMD. So is any gun with a caliber bigger than .50.
What happened to the "mass" part?

Does anyone here have experience going 1099? Long story short, I've been planning on moving out of state for a while. I talked to my boss about it and he was fine with letting me work from home. My wife did this exact same thing with another company with no issues with health insurance or taxes, but my boss was thinking it might be an issue.
Well, after telling me everything would be fine last week, he came back at me today saying it's not going to happen unless I'm willing to be on 1099. Basically I would be doing freelance work for them (I'm a graphic designer) and not be an employee of the company, nor would I have health insurance.
I'm pretty upset right now as everyone I've talked to has said "don't go 1099!". I just don't understand why I would have to. My wife worked in Philly and when we moved, her employer set her up with a nice home office and she makes as much as she did there and has no issues at all with insurance or taxes.
So is 1099 as terrible as it sounds? I feel like I can't work here anymore as I'll just resent the company for holding me back. Am I just being a whiny little bitch? My reasons for wanting to move are pretty valid and not just "oh, it'll be fun!".

Also, I'm working on a theory that the mentality of a nation can be judged by their roads. In Romania, there basically were no such things as expressways - a few highways from city to city, but to get from one part of Bucharest to another, you HAD to take surface streets, stopping at every light. There were no faster roads! (of course, there's the metro but whatever). This fits naturally with their slow-and-steady personality, not getting too worked up over anything, just enjoying the ride and trying to get ahead little by little.
In Madrid, there apparently is no such thing as an on or off ramp - it's all roundabouts. In a 15 minute drive, there were at least 8 or 9 roundabouts. Which is just like spaniards - they want the luxury of waiting on decisions, not being forced into a yes or no answer right away.
Eh, my theory might need a bit of work.
