Is Audioslave Rage Against the Machine sans Zack de la Rocha with Chris Cornell on vocals? I only ask because I saw the video of their new song and it sounds like Rage Against the Machine, it sounds like Chris Cornell, BUT YOU CAN'T SEE ANY OF THE BAND BECAUSE THE VIDEO FLASHES AROUND SO MUCH. It almost gave me an aneurysm. I'm okay, but I think that these types of videos should be labeled as not good for anyone with a seizure disorder, under the age of 10, or live in the lower 48 states.

I cut my hair today. And when I say 'cut my hair' I mean I took the clippers and did it myself. Why you ask? Because it's just not right to pay $10-15 or more for a haircut! Over the course of a year you could be paying nigh on $200! That's robbery man. I can do it myself for ZERO dollars, and that's a bargain in my book. Plus, I don't have any of those allegiancy issues one has when they go with one haircutter but find they can get a better haircut with someone else, but it's awkward leaving the haircutter you already have. Only TWO people in this entire world can cut my hair the way I want it: me, and the Spanish lady in SuperCuts in Worcester, Mass. God Bless You Spanish SuperCuts lady.

I hate it when you see a celebrity making the rounds on a talk show and they’re asked the question ‘What were you like in a high school?’ And they almost invariably reply, ‘I was such a dork’ or something to that effect. You’re telling me that not one celebrity was popular in high school? Oh I feel so bad for you, I bet you’re still tortured with angst from those days. Don’t worry, your fame and fortune will help get you through the tough times.

Funny item of the day: The guy who found the sniper, who, when asked if he thought he was a hero and knew he would get a reward, said something to the effect of that he didn’t think he was a hero and if he got a reward he would give it to the families of the victims. Very noble indeed—until he changed his tune and said, ‘well, at least half of it anyway.’

So it occurs to me that I have not said why I am doing this blog. I am new to it but I thought it would be a good idea for a couple of reasons:
1) I have many opinions about things.
2) I am frustrated by many things.
3) This is a good way to vent those frustrations and
opinions. It's sort of a catharsis. *see below*

It really bugs me that on Wheel of Fortune they end the game (before the winner plays the final round) a full TWELVE MINUTES before the half hour is up! What is up with that? And they don't end it for any reason except so that we can see Pat and Vanna banter about the DUMBEST things.
--And another thing, I HATE it when the contestants are completely stupid, and I mean STUPID. Like when the puzzle is nearly complete and they don't know it so they guess a letter that couldn't POSSIBLY fit. Like a guy last night who, with the puzzle fully complete except for the letter K in the word STACKS, guessed the letter F. F! Stacfs? Had he used context clues, he would have noticed that the other words in the puzzle were what you find in a library, thusly he could have thought 'what begins with stac and ends with s that is in a library?' And that wasn't the first time that guy messed up on that show either. Needless to say, he went home with no money.

*Funny item of the day: While catharsis can be an purging of emotion, it can also mean the purging from one's butt! (Thanks R.) Which one am I talking about?
--What's really funny is that that is butt

Why is Christina Aguilera so trashy? Her new video "Dirrty" (two Rs, cause that just makes it even dirtier) shows us this side of her. Remember when she was the innocent "Genie in a Bottle" girl? Neither do I. I don't people like the new Christina, but she keeps forcing her new incarnation down our throats.

I think I brush my teeth the wrong way. I do it with my mouth closed, but I think most people do it with their mouths open. But if I try and do it with an open mouth I get all drooly and stuff. I think that's because I brush my teeth with such force, my toothbrush always gets flattened out pretty quickly. Crest Spinbrush rules! *cheap plug*

Funny item of the day: On the news they were having a story about prostate cancer and were featuring a guy who had had it--and his name was David BUTTS! Get it? Get it?

So Michael Jordan is introducing new tagless t-shirts. It's about time somebody realized the tag problem that plagues the world! Is it mandatory to put tags in the necks of t-shirts? Is it like the "Do Not Remove" tag on mattresses? I don't think so. Hanes, Fruit of the Loom, I'm talking to you here. I cut all the tags out of my shirts. Why? Because I hate them. They're scratchy and they itch your neck. Why would one put themself through the irritation that a t-shirt tag brings? Uh-uh, not me. On behalf of the world, I thank you Mr. Jordan.
