I was never into Silverchair, but I liked Bush well enough… but not well enough to buy their albums. There really wasn't a need since they were being played to death on the radio.

Sounds good, let's write it up!

I think the tax breaks should be reviewed. Tax breaks for running a soup kitchen or homeless shelter? Sure. Tax breaks for a mega church? NOPE.

Yeah, but it sucks you had to make that decision, and it sucks that when someone dies they amp up their petty factor by 100. Without getting too deep in the woods, my mom went and saw her estranged birth mother before she died of cancer. When she came back, her father and stepmother disowned her, which was…

Sad upvote

This makes me vicariously angry. I've had three people in my family die this year, and every funeral was full of shitheads. I mean, c'mon, is it that hard to be decent at a funeral?

I'd rather pay to protect them than the orange dictator.

Let's not forget travelling farther than 20 minutes away, which becomes one stop per hour to tour all the public restrooms in the United States.

I think in my music snobbery, I saw them as jumping on the grunge bandwagon, and being a bit inauthentic. I think in reality, that wasn't their aim. But that thinking is what put me off them. I hated, HATED "Shine", and I still do. But I like "Gel" and some of the songs from the second album. When I saw them at…

When I saw them in 1998, they played pretty much the entire Symbols album, Drug Against War, and Light. I wished that they varied the setlist more, but it was cool to see them play those with Pig and Ogre… so it would've made sense for them to play some more from Nihil.

On Saturday I took my 6 year old to basketball practice. There's a homeless man on the off ramp most days. I make a point to give him a couple bucks if I can. Well, I slowed down and have him two bucks, all I had at the time. He asked me why I did it, and I explained that $2 to someone who has nothing is a lot of…

These are also concerns, particularly climate change… I'd like there to be a planet left for my kids. But you're right about one thing, this has definitely made me want to confront creeps and bullies more than a did before, and as a straight white man, it's my duty to do so. Because it's the right thing to do, and in…

I suspect something similar happened, where I got someone else's grade. It may not be "A Worthy" (it is), but I did do the work, and even if I missed the mark, there would be partial credit for the parts I did get right.
It's really the waiting that's driving me up the wall. It's one of those things where it's staring…

I saw Collective Soul at Woodstock, and while I've never cared much for them, they put on a really good show.
At any rate, so much other good stuff.

No Melvins, but my favorite Depeche Mode track!

"Waste" is one of my favorite KMFDM tracks.

It was fun. I didn't have MTV then, but I remember staying up every night all summer to listen to a countdown at midnight when the song was consistently number one. I guess I didn't have an blank tapes to record it from the radio.

Story time:

Oh and fuck my stupid professor who gave me a "zero" for an assignment that I submitted on time, with no notes. I know it's a mistake, and it'll be fixed, but he's not answered my email and having my grade sitting at 64% is stressing me out.

I have a sinus infection. Little Dooms Nos. 1 & 2 have bronchitis. Ugh.
