Just a bunch of links really

So, wow, 3 months went by. I’d be lying if I said that I haven’t had a little time to write but to be honest it hasn’t been too exciting around here.
Here M.I.A. Born Free are Germany’s winner some Ukraine’s entry inserts I want one to Saul Williams browse through.
And Police kill 7 year old girl oh SWAT team storms civilian household wow Arm yourself in Ohio people Because online children are just better what the fuck.
I’d write more on these things but really it’s too hot to sit in front of my computer right now. Maybe I’ll write something of substance soon.
When I can’t smoke I…

Maybe we might want to consider letting people smoke in public again. It makes more sense than this. Not that I’m against the idea mind you. If you really want to, take your guns where ever you please. I don’t care. But you and I know that some people really should just take Johnny Cash’s advice “Don’t take your guns to town”.
So much going on

Work. Clean. Sleep.
And somehow in between all this I find some time to amuse myself as well. I found a great article on the rise of nerdcore while drinking coffee.
I also read in the Wall Street Journal an editorial that blamed the lackluster work ethic and unprecedented sense of entitlement of America’s current youth on Mr. Rogers .
I’ve got a bunch of other crap I’m waiting on at the moment, like my car for example. Over a week to fix a goddamn dent that magically appeared while it was in for repairs. Even if I wasn’t moving I’d never go to Hellgate Conoco again. Sad too, they’d been so good to me and my family over the years. Assholes (well at least the one guy is an asshole and he ruined it for me forever. I used to recommend them to people, never again).
Someday Sara’s going to read through some of these comments of mine and critique my grammar and such, and rightly so. I blame the heat. It’s been so hot; 5 days of 100 plus temperatures. Today is a little cooler, only 90-something. Maybe we’ll get some cool lightning storms again tonight.
Someday I’ll get around to upgrading some of the features on here so I can have it do all the cool stuff I want it to do, but that’ll be a month or so before I get time.
I have a newfound appreciation for jug band music. You think of modern techno and electronica groups, maybe a good example for this would be Blue Man Group or Meat Beat Manifesto. How do they make their music? By taking common items and sounds and mixing them together to create new rhythms and grooves. Jug bands took common household items like washboards, jugs, saws, etc. and did the exact same thing. When you think of it like that, jug band music was a predecessor of techno by about 100 years or so, yes?
Whatever. I’m going to go smoke.
