OMG...I must have been half asleep when I read this last night.

One steers, the other works the pedals...

Okay, Patience to Rob Deer lost me...

Richard Roundtree Tree Rollins Sonny Bono Okay, cruel perhaps...

I'm not interested in any woman with a big, long, sliding thing....

I don't know about New Zealand, but I remember seriously considering going AWOL when I was in the Navy while in Bunbury, Australia. I never felt more at home any place in my life. To this day I wonder if I didn't make a mistake in not following through on that.

You need a second record room. Get rid of that bed and crap and use your space properly.

Why not just avoid it if it's that painful? Who says it's painful? I didn't. But I'll follow your advice and ignore threads like this. I hope my comment didn't sound as snide to you as it does to me now...

If you pick it up and don't want the Firesign Theater, drop me a PM! It's just a bunch of bozos talking anyway.

Oh yeah, newspapers and make up have been the bane of driving for decades at least.

Yeah, I can see that. I was reacting more to TO saying something stupid. Which, now that I think about it, is like posting a rant here because the sun came up this morning... But I don't think I'll ever be a Falcons fan again. So, I have Vick to thank for my freedom from that frustration, anyway.

I feel like someone just called me emo...

Don't be silly; where would you mount the amp on the tank?

Booo! Judy Blume Gennifer Flowers Larry "Bud" Melman

"The guy’s already suffered so much." Holy shit...talk about clueless. I mean, I get the point that he's done his time and legally that's fine. But just because he's done his time and paid the required legal penalty doesn't mean he's not a piece of shit anymore.

He was only there for the twelve step program...

This morning "Welcome to My Life" by Simple Plan seems to be stuck in my head. This is a particularly annoying song, something no one over sixteen could possibly listen to without wanting to bitchslap the band for being such insipid morons. Yeah, guys; no one else ever had it as rough as you. Maybe I need a lobotomy...

I think that's one of my problems; when it comes to music in public areas, I seem to have lost the ability to filter. At home, I can just turn everything off, but at work, with piped in music playing all day, my brain just can't seem to ignore it. No one else there seems to have any trouble blocking out the music, but I just keep listening.

This is a good point. I, myself, feel overwhelmed by all the media I have in my daily life, cell-phone, computer, incessant noise everywhere, it really is getting to be too much. I find that I'm going more and more for quietness, of not wanting to add any more noise to my life. Because of this feeling, outside of Grateful Dead releases, I have not bought any other music for two years, and now that I have XM radio, I don't even have that Grateful Dead urge in me. It's a major issue for me right now, how much media do I really want in my life? I agree completely. I thought I was just getting old and grumpy (well, maybe I am and you guys are as well; I can't rule that out!) I used to have music playing at home all the time. Now, it's easier than ever to find music with online sources, but most of the time silence is the choice as my apartment has become an oasis away from the cacophony of modern life. Turn off the cell phone, lock the door, and spend time with my cat and the silence. Rediscover books. Think. That sort of thing. It's strange...back when I was a teenaged SF fanatic, I thought being totally inundated with media and media choices looked like a great vision of the future. Now that I see it in real life, I'm not so sure...
