"Where is your other hand?" "Between two pillows..." "Those aren't pillows!"
-Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Ok, it's time for finals, so I'm gonna be somewhat incognito for a couple weeks. Just had a few thoughts on my mind today...

First, it really bothers me when these english dudes get knighted or whatever for random stuff. Just read that Roger Moore was knighted for his work with UNICEF, and, my personal favorite, for his work in music, Sting was just named a Commander of the British Army. So, why don't we just attack England? All of their top ranking military officials are pop singers and children's book writers, no doubt. Commander Sting? That's why Britain is such a weird place, with their Royal family and all. You don't see President Bush making 50 Cent a 4 star General because In Da Club was such a hit. Then again, that guy probably knows a thing or two about war.....probably been shot more times than all of the British army combined.....

Ok, second, there was a strike in LA by the Public Transit workers. Are you kidding me? Who does this affect, like 10 people? The next person to ride the bus in LA will be the first. It probably costs 278 dollars for a one way trip just so they can break even in that wasted venture. On the same subject, the WNBA once threatened a "work stoppage." First of all, that isn't work. And second of all, who would notice? I thought that league folded 3 years ago. And props to the WNBA for having the first MVP to fail to repeat cause she had to sit out the season while pregnant. Not your typical injured list member....

Finally, I was listening to this song from Live Aid, "Do They Know its Christmas" and man, was I appalled! This is the worst song ever written. I love how the right wingers try and censor rap music for bad language, while this song is never commented on. Just a quick sampling of the lyrics (paraphrasing):

"Outside your window/ is a world of death and fear/ they have no water there/ except for their tears"

and my favorite - "tonight pray to God/ and be thankful it is them and not you"

Are you serious?!??! That has got tb be the biggest F You in the history of music. Forget East Coast vs. West Coast, here is a group of singers trying to make money for famine relief in Africa, and they are CLOWNING on the victims! Forget sending food, just send them a big middle finger, why don't you. My other favorite was them talking about toasting ourselves while we celebrate, then toast them over there in Africa while they sit in the burning heat. Good God. Do they know it's Christmas? You self-centered pricks, do you think they even give a damn? I am beside myself....

Just read that Cameron Diaz got 20 mill for Charlies Angels 2.....I am absolutely speechless. I am without speech.

"I've got sunshine/ On a cloudy day/ And when it's cold outside/ I've got the month of May"
