So, several things have been on my mind lately. But at this moment my mind is encased in a large ball of snot which is leaking out my nose.
I've recently started liking the comic strip "Get Fuzzy" more and more. The reason for this is because the cat is awesome. He complains about pointless things and takes stands against normal things. The Olympics comics start here and I can't help but agree with everything the cat says.
Also, Weezer has a song called "Heart Songs" on their last album, and has got me think about some of the songs that have in some way or another been a large influence in my life. Here's a couple songs that have a little special place for me:
Black Parade - My Chemical Romance
5150/Get Up - Van Halen
You're Nobody 'Til Somebody Loves You - Dean Martin
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
Beautiful Day - U2
Fields of Gold - Eva Cassidy
When My Guitar Gently Weeps - The Beatles
They're just a couple songs that, to me, are just plain awesome-sauce.
Lastly, I feel the need to rant. Why is the DNC and RNC worthy of primetime? Personally, the last thing I want to watch on TV is a bunch of politicians bash each other and make promises they can't keep. I'm glad I don't check the box on my tax form to have some of my money go to campaigns. Can we say Kingmen and Gadiantons? The oddest thing is that I wouldn't want to live anywhere else but here. I must be mental.
Or maybe my brain is just a huge ball of mucus.

I agree with you on the political thing. I hate watching them on TV. Though I am probably mental too!
BTW, I need your address if you want your birthday present! I know I have to ask for it every single time, but I promise to keep it somewhere safe this time!!
I'm a HUGE "Get Fuzzy" fan- Bucky is awesome, the dog's idiocy is classic, and the owner cracks me up! And I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick of politics it isn't even funny. Can it please be December yet (and not like December 2000)?
Happy Birthday!
Oh yea, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOE!!!!
So how old are you now, 23? 24? (haha)
Hope you have a great day and the details of your snot-infested brain were just awesome!
Yeah, the game of politics (i.e. mudslinging) seems to get more out of hand every year. It's like the whole "Student Body Election" process with more money. However, since this is the process established by our forefathers (and, despite the current trend, is a process that I believe was inspired), I still feel strongly about exercising one's right to vote. If nothing else, to keep all the crazy people from banding together and really screwing things up...oh, wait... to late...
Seriously, though, as Beckie often says, the person who does not exercise their right to vote has no right to complain about the government. Sadly, the ones I think most deserving of a write-in vote (Jon Stewart, Dave Barry) are too smart to run for the job. I guess we have to go with the one we feel will inflict the least amount of damage on American society now and in the future...
