heres some other stuff i thought about during the drive.
the big deal about hell day (6/6/06) is dumb because its actually based on a mistranslation from the bible. the number of the beast is actually 616.
my favorite songs of the moment are sing - the dresden dolls, and hate me today - blue october
my favorite song lyrics of the moment are, "download this song", "i hope i live to see you undress", and "if you want to find all the cops, theyre hangin out in the doughnut shop". i never get sick of the bengals.
i dislike the phrase: (blank) is the new (blank). nothing is the new anything. its all the same. shut up.
instead of "click it or ticket" a better motto would be "buckle up, or die". a little double meaning action.
there is a new video game circulating the net about the columbine shooting. FINALLY, ive been waiting for this since the horrible tragedy occurred. and get this: its called "super columbine massacre rpg". its designer claims it should make you feel uncomfortable. no shit. i feel uncomfortable acknowledging its existence.
so, my house has a pair of woodpeckers that frequent it. except they dont peck wood. they peck the metal antenna directly over my bedroom. the terrible result of this is that i awake at 4 every morning with what sounds like a machine gun going off 10 feet from my head. and they usually keep at it until around 8 or 9 when ive since given up trying to sleep. anyone have a bb gun?
my dad just got diabetes. sort of a bummer actually, because it means there's a solid chance ill get it, especially if i get real fat. so much for my plan of unending slothfulness. i guess i deserve it after making fun of that little beedies girl on tv and the post master general guy.
how come "cold as hell" means really cold, and "hot as hell" means really hot. what kind of climate do they have down there anyway?
world cup baby! i just watched the first two matches and will continue to see them all until i leave the world of tv on monday or tuesday.
