Getting On

Usually we're not seen as old until we hit 40. Then we're over the hill and the joke gifts come out and people start to look at you like you might break at any second. Well, I think my 40 might be 24. On my birthday, a week ago, I managed to slip, fall and bruise my thigh. That hurt for the whole week. Then yesterday I woke up with a horrible tightness behind my left knee that hasn't gone away. I limp around like a gangsta. But not in a cool way. At this rate I see myself having another good 20 years max. And based on this precendent they won't even be good.

Song of the Day:

"Purple Rain"
Martin Sexton cover of a Prince song

In tribute to the rainy day and melancholy way I feel.

Song For the Day

Two choices. I can't decide which is better.

Both are by Montreal, Quebec based Stars.

"Tonight" and "One More Night"

It's been rainy and melancholy here in Mpls. They fits good.

Song For the Day

"Warning Sign" by Coldplay.

Uh huh!

Tiger Tiger Woods y'all. That's right...it's my day of birth day. Congratulations to me. So far two people have seen fit to wish me the best. Wow, two whole people that love me enough to say so. And neither were my parents. I guess they've probably put their time in though.

On a different note, just look at how the world is changing thanks to what the spaniards call - la red informatica. For those not hip to the latin jive it's known as the internet.

F-ing Ahmedinejad or however you decide to phonetically render his name has a blog. Yes folks, the President of Iran has a fricking blog. And whoever designed it for him needs to rethink some visual elements (a blog with a picture of the writer using a pen?) but overall think of what this means. It's yet another way the web has fake democratized society. Only 10% of Iranians even (or can) use the web on a regular basis. So how close to the people can he be. And of the 10% that are online, there is no unrestrained access to sites. Nice work Ahmed. Yet again pointing out that your view of society is completey unrealistic. Your people want the web and jeans. And those that don't won't weat them anyways. But those that do will never stop wanting them.

Side note: Imagine if Bush had a blog? Or Clinton? I mean, Clinton's would have been spectacular. Lweinsky this, cigar that, getting em' drunk, bangin em' bangin em'.
