Just a light post for a change..

Hi everyone
So I figured it was about time to just post something light, non-political and with a touch of fluff.

Starting with the fluff:
After having several friends email me, call me and message me about the show Final Fu on MTV2 I finally decided to record a few and check them out, and I am completely hooked. Who knew Martial Arts drama could be so much fun.
The show is basically a competition of different styles and is represented by great martial artists like Ernie Reyes Jr. (who hosts the show), Matt Mullins and a group of blackbelts who can be a lot of fun to watch and who seem to be representing their art to their best abilities. Of course, there is always the bad guy of the bunch, Brian W, who is an embarrassment to martial artists anywhere, by cheating, breaking rules and basically making comments about why he wants to be the "Final Fu" which can make his fellow Taekwondoists cringe with shame.
All in all a lot of fun for martial artists and with enough drama to keep other audiences entertained too.

Now, the web:
Am I the only person who has noticed a bunch of sites having issues at the same time and who suspects it might be more than a coincidence?
Let's see.. four of the webservers I use seem to be either down or having major issues right now, gmail is having difficulties, MySpace has been down or having serious problems for a while now and several of the main sites I visit are either experiencing difficulties, down or very very slow. It's not some problem from my end, they all have warnings about it. What's going on?
