Me Like Morbid, Metaphorical Songs About Love?

If by saying that me enjoying the following song means yes... Then I guess I doooooooo.

"The last time that I saw you, August of '99, I should have had my hammer and a few rusty spikes; to nail you on a wall and use bottles to catch your blood. Display you for the neighbors so they know your time had come. And I'd drink your blood. Fill it dripping down my throat and head for my heart."

Saves the Day

Possibly The Worst Idea Ever

The repeating - and often annoying - dvd menu. I can't even recall how many times I have fallen asleep while watching a movie and have woken up three, possibly four hours later to some annoying song that is stuck in what seems like an endless cycle, and yet I find it difficult to reach for the remote to turn the stupid thing off. It can be very frustrating at times.

Match Burning 101

As I was lighting some matches today, I was curious to discover what happens when a match burns backwards. Using a match to light the end of another, I realized it wasn't going to start burning so easily. Losing all patience, I decided to just turn it around and light it like normal. It was at this point that I burned the tip of my finger, for it never occurred to me (until my finger was burnt) that the other side - although I never got it to start on fire - was still hot.

Math Joke



I thought this poster was hilarious up until the fine print. All of a sudden it is not so funny anymore now is it?

Smells That I Happen To Enjoy

Skunks. Reminiscent of my childhood and those summer nights I would take walks with my dad through the fields across the street.

Sulfur. Reminds me of Yellowstone National Park. I could live there.

Band-Aids. No good reason really. I just like the way they smell.

Politics: The Way I See It

A group of men and women belonging to one of two parties who do nothing more than fight and undermine one another to fulfill their parties agenda and/or advance their personal ideals; and who fail to represent the very people that got them there in the first place. Their duty should be to society right? I feel that this piece is missing from the equation.

Pillow Talk

One of the greatest things I could have ever done was patch the holes in my pillow with some black gorilla tape.

Should We Be Thanking The Dresden Dolls For This One? Me Thinks Not

I'm open to interpretation, because I have a hard time fathoming what it all means.

"Daddy please, hear this song that I sing.
In your heart there's a spark that just screams,
For a lover to bring a child to your chest,
That could lay as you sleep and love all you have left,
Like your boy used to be, long ago,
Wrapped in sheets warm and wet.

Blister please, with those wings in your spine.
Love to be with a brother of mine.
How he'd love to find your tongue in his teeth,
In a struggle to find secret songs that you keep,
Wrapped in boxes so tight, sounding only at night as you sleep.

And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet.
Rings of flowers round your eyes and I love you,
For the rest of your life (when you're ready).

Brother see, we are one in the same.
And you left with your head filled with flames,
And you watched as your brains fell out through your teeth.
Push the pieces in place.
Make your smile sweet to see.
Don't you take this away.
I'm still wanting my face on your cheek.

And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place where some holy spectacle lies.
And when we break we'll wait for our miracle.
God is a place you will wait for the rest of your life.

Two-headed boy, she is all you could need.
She will feed you tomatoes and radio wires,
And retire to sheets safe and clean,
But don't hate her when she gets up to leave."

Neutral Milk Hotel

Nerd Alert!

I'm addicted to Final Fantasy XIII.

Dear Squirel Who Lives in the Fourth Tree by the Third Lampost from the Bottom of the Hill: Squeakqual


It would appear you are back. What led me to this conclusion? Maybe it's the fact that I saw you prancing around Old Main gathering nuts. Back and forth, back and forth over the walk. Ready to pounce on any unsuspecting victim who got in your path. Oh how I wanted to kick over your pile of nuts.

Everything on the Menu has Fish

Dolphins never sleep because they rest one half of their brain at a time and I eat tuna right out of the can.

Blog Worthy?

Fact: A cow yields 3% more milk if it listens to Simon and Garfunkel. I believe I heard this little tidbit of information on Animal Planet once.

What is the Best Movie to Watch While Going to Sleep?

Easy! Lord of Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm not suggesting that it is boring, I'm simply saying it is a good movie to fall asleep to.
