The Jeffersons.

Got nothing to say today....so I'll just quote Thomas Jefferson:
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure."

Music Snob

If you are a loyal reader, you know I like music. Lots of different kinds of music. Some have said to me that I am a snob because I will not stand inferior, shitty music. Sorry, but the music that we are embarrassed about having liked 10 years ago exists today and people will be embarrassed about it 10 years from now.

So anyway one of the links down below is a comic strip that kind of shows you why you should be nicer to music snobs you know.

P.S. Thank you to the ONE person to wish me a happy anniversary.

Happy Birthday to Thewster!

So it has been a year! And coincidentally this is the 150th post....that's a lot.

Over the year I've shaken the site into the schedule and format I've wanted. So far I am happy with it but things will always change, as things should.

Loyal readers please say hello in the comments, send suggestions, insult my intelligence, etc....

Thanks for reading!

Serenaders

What is it with people who walk down the street, with headphones on singing the song they are listening to? Or rapping it? Thats the reason we all don't carry large stereos on our shoulders anymore.

I wish people did though.

Battlestar Galactica

The last, lets say, 3 months, I have been waiting for my cousin, Sal, to watch the past 3 seasons of Battlestar Galactica so we could watch the 4th season together. Thats like 60 some hour long episodes. I didn't think he could do it. He did....amazing. So I watched the last couple of Season 3 episodes with him, and let me tell you, those with time on their hands should start watching the show because it is the best damn show on TV.

Watchin',
