WESLEY SNIPES ACQUITTED OF TAX FRAUD, BUT MAY STILL SERVE TIME » Wesley Snipes was acquitted of tax fraud in a Florida courtroom on Friday, but was convicted of failure to file taxes. Snipes, who was convicted of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file a tax return on his income that amounted to millions of dollars. As he left the court room, he said: “I’m feeling great – a little confused, but great.” When asked if he is worried about going to prison, he replied, “I don’t know. It’s nice to be out here with you right now. We live in the moment.” He was acquitted of two felonies, including conspiracy to commit tax fraud. He was also acquitted of three misdemeanor counts of willful failure to file a tax return. Snipes now faces up to three years in federal prison, which is a lot better than facing a possible 16-year prison sentence, had he been convicted of failure to file taxes.

FYI: Damn, it feels great to be back! Where the hell was I you ask? Well, to make a long story short, there was some digging on some property beside my house and the workers cut right through our cable line, leaving us without television and internet for the past 30 hours! Yeah, I was bored as hell, but luckily I had my BOONDOCKS SEASON 1 DVD to ease the pain. Obviously I couldn’t update here so I hope you didn’t miss me too much! Anyhow, for the next day or so I’ll be “playing catch-up” to post the things I missed out on in my blockage of the outside world (no tv and no internet is NO FUN … trust me!) By the way, if you’re looking for “Weekend Update” … THIS IS WEEKEND UPDATE! Now on to playing catch-up!

I can’t believe I didn’t post these! I was looking through the archives from the past couple of weeks and photos from the Tony’s were nowhere to be found. In fact, they were still sitting here on my computer in a zip archive waiting to be extracted, uploaded, and posted. My bad y’all, here they are! More photos of ‘Tasia can be found after the cut, along with the rest of the first edition of today’s “Playing Catch-Up!”
