I don't think Barack is necessarily a bad candidate...

I am just a cynical/skeptical guy. But please, if one more person tells me to read "The Audacity of Hope" again (by the way, already read it), then...well...a quick kick to the junk is on the way :)

The Beatles to iTunes

Does this smell fishy to anyone? I mean, in addition to the fact that I would just as soon have Paul McCartney go into seclusion and never be heard from again? I'm just saying...how exactly is it that Paul gets "most" of the money? Doesn't everyone know by now that he couldn't carry Lennon's genitals, let alone write a better song? Okay, I'll give you "Let it Be" and "Hey Jude"...alright, I seem to remember myself playing HJ over and over in the jukebox near closing time back in the day...but still. How does Paul end up with most of the money? I'm guessing Ringo got about $100K out of the 400 million, lol.

Buried in March, the Blizzard of '08


So yes, they say 15-16" of snow has fallen in about 30 hours. Amazing. I've never seen anything like it...well, I don't remember '78 to be honest. Still a toddler. But this was unreal. Truly. Oh, btw, Right at Your Door was pretty good stuff, I recommend it, if you feel like being scared...and then paranoid :) B+

They are calling for...

9-15" of snow over the next 24 hours. I think we've already got 2-3! Wow. I can't remember the last time Columbus had that much. Guess its a good thing I got a few movies out yesterday from Hollywood, that at least look somewhat interesting. We'll see how Trade, Right at Your Door, and The Prisoner: Or How I Planned to Kill Tony Blair turn out, along with the last 2/3 of Season 3 of The Wire.

Out On DVD Today!



I watched Into the Wild for the second time in the theatre last week. Still amazing. Definitely rent it if you haven't seen it yet.

3/2 at 32...

Perhaps, just maybe, it is not too late to start one's own adventure...again.

So I've seen this for a second time...

...and it's still that good. Go rent it on 3/4!

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed

You think you have to want
More than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'Cos when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops
Kinda like its starting from the top
You can't do that...

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me
