Ohio Girls Fertile

65 out of 490 girls at an Akron high school are currently pregnant. I wonder if this is because the guys that go there are particularly smooth or if there's just one really smooth guy.

You don't know anything about this, do you Vince?

Six Feet Under Over


Six Feet Under has been my favorite show for a long time (especially since The West Wing completely jumped the shark), and the series finale aired last night. It was excellent. I am almost embarrased about how much the show impacted my life, but I even woke up depressed. I don't know if it's the fact that I identified with the characters or that almost all other television shows suck, but I feel horrible. It's like that feeling you get at the end of American Beauty except multiplied. If you have HBO on Demand I think it would be worth your while to watch this episode, if not the entire series.

RSS Feeds

I'm a fan of RSS feeds. It stands for Really Simple Syndication, and for those of you who aren't familiar, it's a way to find out about updates to a website without actually having to go there and deal with the ads and other distractions. You can view these lists of headlines either as a live bookmark in Firefox, at a website you setup to bring your feeds together (like Bloglines), or in a separate program called an aggregator. Now you can even use Gmail to view feeds.

Most good sites have a feed anymore. Man alive, even I have 3 feeds.

Freedom Isn't Free

What would you do
If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had?
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad?

Freedom isn't free.
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill.
Freedom isn't free.
No, there's a hefty f*ckin' fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom?
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little pussy?
'Cause the only reason that you're here
Is 'cause folks died for you in the past.
So maybe now it's your turn
To die kicking some ass.

Freedom isn't free.
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill.
Freedom isn't free.
Now there's a have to hook'in fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will?
Oooh buck 'o five.
Freedom costs a buck 'o five.

High Speed Cat Photos


I'm allergic to cats, so this is pretty much the most enjoyment they've ever brought me.

I'm Alive

It has taken me until Thursday to fully recover from Joe's bachelor party last weekend in Chicago. Thanks for the memories guys. Thanks also for the stuff that I don't remember.

Pictures are now in the gallery...
