Media Deregulation...Do something please!
Hi y'all, the FCC is thinking of changing the rules about media. They're thinking of allowing fewer large companies to own more media outlets including radio, TV, and news media. Ever notice how you hear the same song over and over again on the radio? That's due to media deregulation. If they deregulate it more, it'll only get worse. Media deregulation wouldn't allow as many different viewpoints either. Anti-big business opinions could suffer and be ignored more than they already are. The FCC is voting on this MONDAY, JUNE 2. Please, if you wanna hear some different things on the radio, you can send in a letter at www.unionvoice.org/campaign/fcc
If you want more info, check out

or just go to a search engine and type in "media deregulation"
So yeah, sorry about the short notice, and sorry if this doesn't interest you at all, but it's real important to me and its my journal, dammit! So have a nice weekend everyone, I love you.

Time for an update
Hi y'all. How's everybody doin? I'm real bored and haven't updated for awhile. I saw the Matrix reloaded yesterday and it was pretty cool. The special effects were good, of coarse, and it had a lot of good fighty shooty scenes, but not much of a plot. As Ben said, there was stuff about choice and purpose and all that, but they were like randomly inserted pieces of philosophy. It was still entertaining tho, so...yeah. Thats all I have to say about the Matrix.
I read On the Road over the weekend. It's by Jack Kerouac. Its about the early beatniks and there travels across the US. Jack Kerouac wrote it as fiction but its actually true, he just changed some of the names. Heres one of the cooler parts when there going from San Francisco to New York:
"Oh, man! man!" moaned Dean. "And its not even the begining of it-and now we're going east together, Sal, think of it, we'll dig Denver together and see what everybody's doing though that matters little to us, the point being that we know what IT is and we know TIME and we know that everything really is FINE....."Now you just dig them in front. They have worries, they're counting the miles, they're thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they'll get there-and all the time they'll get there anyway, you see...."
Yeah. Well, I thought it was cool. Anyway, sorry if this entry turns out long....Bye now.

What the Fuck?
After the lovely high of happiness at lunch yesterday, a terrible low was needed to balance things out....
My guinea pig died yesterday. It was real weird. I just found her lying dead in her cage. I really don't kno how she died. She had a cold or something, but I was giving her medicine and she was getting better. How very odd. So yeah, that's depressing.
I had a weird dream last nite. I was driving down northland to a friend's house and I was going like 100 mph, but not intentionally. It was like I couldn't control the car or something. I went past a cop car but they didn't pull me over. But then I pulled into Mcdonalds and they gave me a ticket, took away my learners permit, and I had 3 different court dates. Wait. That sounds like what happened to my brother, except in Indiana. Weird.
On a lighter note, the spaceship is coming!

Y'all probly don't care but...
At this very moment, I am listening to a very rare Kyuss song from before they were called Kyuss on K666 radio. I will probly never hear this song again. Ever. In my entire life. I'm sure none of you really care about this but it's a historical moment so I had to record it. Darn. It's over. There goes a piece of history. Tootles and listen to Kyuss!

I've been thinking lately. There's a first time for everything :-) Carp I forgot what I was gonna write! Oh yeah. Something about the gov't and the 2nd amendment. I just read something about how there's a new law only allowing 10 rounds or something...supposedly it wouldn't affect suicide, murder, or other crimes, it would only matter in case citizens had to keep there gov't in check. Hmmmm..... Of course, I read this at a one of those "the governments out to kill all!!" sites and I'm not sure if I buy it. It was at www.whatreallyhappened.com I think if anyones interested. Well thats all for now so tootles.

I would write about the chicago trip, but everyone else is, so you kno, why bother?
I will say this: the art museum rocked and they didn't give us enough time. And thats all I'm saying about chicago.
I'm sad. I don't kno why. I just....am. Oh well. I'll live. Probably.
I dont have anything else to say so I'll leave you with some lyrics.
The hour is ending, can't you see
There is no way now, to get free
In the shadow of the season
Without a reason, to carry home
Without a reason, without a reason
And from the north woods
Down on the valley
In a world of hurting, I'm moving on
Out from the lighthouse
Out on the ocean
Can't climb the mountain, so very tall
Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion feels alright
The hour is drawing ever closer
And rolling over, won't let me be
In the shadow of the season
To find a reason, to carry home
Said Lord please give me what I need
He said there's pain and misery
Oh sweet oblivion
She calls me over to her side
Theres a sorrow deep inside
And find a reason
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
In the shadow, of the season
To find a reason to carry home
Find a reason, to carry home
To carry home, to find a reason
To carry home, to carry home

Bands, birthdays, and other oh-so-important matters
Hi all. I'm bored so I'm updating. School was boring today. Especially english. I despise meap week. Jon's back! Yay! Actually he's been back but....anyway....Chuckie Cheese was fun as was Oasis and restaurant. Yeah.
My birthdays in 2 weeks and my parents are all like "well what do you wanna do?" and I'm all like "nothing, i don't care, leave me alone." But of course they don't listen. How very irritating. Its my birthday and I should be able to do whatever I want (within reason) up to and including nothing. Oh well. If it makes them happy I'll go along with whatever stupid thing they wanna do and pretend I'm enjoying it. On a lighter note, I'm getting an acoustic guitar for my b-day! Yay! I picked it out on saturday. It's an Alveraz. It rocks. This birthday part is really long. Thats kinda egotistical but anyway.....
Under grey skies I've learned
life is beautiful
just let it burn.....
*I'm putting that in a song so don't go stealing it ;)
Precious does that grace appear
Now Frodo finds the strength to face his fears
and solo goes....
*thats from a little acoustic band called the 5 o'clock people
I'll show you heaven in this town
You'll have to love more than you kno
and when it all starts to fall down
just trust in me and i will show you
I'll take the blame
*more 5 o'clock people
Ummmm.......yeah.
Love all, love is all you need.
