I couldn't agree more with the comments on my previous posts. The biggest problem with the U.S.'s foreign policy is that too many people don't feel invested in it. On the whole, most people don't give a rat's ass if we go over to some country they can't even find on a map and bomb the shit out of it. Even if it means that civilian casualties are ( Read more... )

Ok, so I don't know if anyone is following professional sports at all, but hopefully you'd still know that Kirk Hinrich is one of the best players on the Chicago Bulls right now. Ok, so a while back, in a game against Boston, Kirk was having a fantastic game. He was hitting crazy shots and just could not be stopped. The announcer, perhaps in a ( Read more... )

Yarr, I got a new guitar strap today, and I don't much like it anymore, but all sales are final, so boo ( Read more... )

Ok, it has to be said. The Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame sucks. Hard. The Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame is made up of a very self-congratulating group of musicians who have decided that what type of music, and what type of musician will be inducted. It's a relatively light mid-tempo 50's through early 70's bluesy-rockabilly sound. How can I say this ( Read more... )

Ok, so I was reading an article, in which someone asked the writer, "If you were going to be on the show, Mastermind, what would you choose as your area of specialty?" In case some of you are not familiar with the show, it's a British gameshow that's been around for over 30 years now. There are four contestants, and in the first round, each one ( Read more... )

So, Spring Break is now over. I'm not exactly sure I'll miss it. Since none of YOU jerks were home (except Thomas), I got to spend my Spring Break doing things like cleaning out the garage, building fences, setting up my job for the summer, and other such menial tasks. I did get to spend a few evenings with Thomas and Lindsay, so that was ok. ( Read more... )

I've missed two nights worth of sleep this week, and it's starting to get to me ( Read more... )

Ok, so about two weeks ago, I bought a guitar on ebay. I got a good deal on it, I paid less than half of what it was worth. So that was cool. It still hasn't arrived in the mail, but it should by Friday. Fine. However, I was still in the market for another guitar. You see, for better or for worse, the guitar I have right now is quite simply a ( Read more... )

So the first Priest-Halford album in 12 years came out today so I went out and bought it. It's called "Angel Of Retribution". I've listened to it through once, and I'm still not sure what I think of it. Some tracks pop out immediately (so far I like "Judas Rising", and "Worth Fighting For"), and I suspect more will grow on me the more I listen ( Read more... )

Farewell Duke. This hit's for you.
