If you have a heart, and you enjoy life, you might want to check out Henry Rollins' Talking From the Box, a double-live DVD. One show in Los Angeles, one in London. For having never liked the Rollins Band, and never really listened to Black Flag at all, this man captivates me. He just has a such a "kick ass" mentality about life and living it. One part comedian, one part story teller, one part motivational speaker. Hard to describe what he does up on stage by himself. Check it out - or any of his spoken word CD's. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Not to mention the stories of he and Ian Mackeye growing up together and working in a petshop are side-splittingly hilarious.

On a lighter note, those of you that don't enjoy my part of the BLARG will be happy to know that I am in pain. I did push-ups and ran today before classes started. Why? I couldn't say. Just did. Even made it past where I usually run, so I guess that's good news, right? I still can't do all that many push-ups. My goal is somewhere around 30 or 40 a day (at various times of course). I'm already up to 20 today. Just need some more motivation.

Written later yesterday afternoon due to a downed BLOGGER homepage

Finally, another Queen song shows up on the Wire. I'm not sure if Lester Bangs ... sorry, I meant Zook Koon ... agrees when I say that Queen is one of the greatest bands ever to grace the stages of this giant, green world. As I've said before, I grew up on them, literally. Every Sunday morning, I'd wake up to the sounds of either Simon and Garfunkel (who I like very much ... disregard the fascist at the top of the page) or Queen blasting from the living room where my Dad was always doing something. Nothing like waking to the pulsing bass of "Another One Bites the Dust", right? I'm sure you'll agree.

Written today, right now

Both of my classes today were semi-cancelled due to an English Studies Symposium. So, I had to go, sign in, pretend that I was there for a few minutes, and then jet. Myself and the Christine-Machine then headed over to Watterson, where she informed me to inform everyone else that Jimmy Eat World (aka-the band of the hour) is on David Letterman tonight. I'm supposed to tape it for her (someone please email me a reminder - at the top - click with the left button). Hopefully I'll be here to watch it. Kind of sick of going out everynight, but I'm sure it's what I'll end up doing.

Just got done running, again, and I think I got a shin-splint (and I might have bent my Wookie too ... I have two ow-ies).
