some thoughts this morning:

Spymob released an album today??
sadly, though, the (ex-)Neptunes are nowhere to be seen on the album.

Bush and the Cabal created Fallujah. they're the ones who invaded a country (that had ::nothing:: to do with terrorism or 9/11). even more, it doesn't even look like they had a fucking plan for after the "war". the evil empire handbook must have at least one chapter on how to deal with post-war efforts. did they think Hussein's puny army was the last line of defense against good ole "freedom"? come on. either they didn't care and just wanted to take over the country, or they honestly believed they were gonna be welcomed with open arms. sadly, though, if it was the latter, then they really are as stupid as we make them out to be. leveling a city will not accomplish anything. and it will only get worse as we approach the November election.

btw, the ugly word "Islam" is coming back into play after Fallujah. seems the media is keen on latching onto that devilish word once again to explain the backlash against the American occupation. bullshit. it's an "occupation". you wouldn't want them in your city. the backlash has nothing to do with what religion you are. and not all Sunnis are attacking the troops. that's simplistic bullshit. it's like saying the Christians wanted to kill the Muslims by going into Iraq. what? you got a Christian White House wanting to attack Muslims by going into Iraq; and there are Muslims in Iraq. how is that not correct? don't let the media make this about religion (we are the good ones. god loves us, not the "others") again. they're too lazy to do their research and are now acting like the National Enquirer again. don't let them shape this by their laziness.

oh, another Bush flip-flop: he said he'd bring dignity back to the White House, and then... well, you know the story.

apparently today marks the 10-year anniversary of Kurt's suicide.
i wasn't a huge fan of Nirvana. i liked their music but didn't own any of their albums until early 1996, and that began because of my love of all things Butch Vig. but i did respect their music before 1994. and i do remember vividly the exact moment i heard about Cobain's suicide -- my then-girlfriend, her sister, and i were driving down to quebec city, i believe (to spend a few days in a cottage and do some skiing). it was on our way over there, on the highway, that we heard on the radio the fatal news. even though i wasn't a fan right then it kind of affected me. it was weird. another rock n roll suicide. but somehow this was different. this was from my generation. and this was Kurt Cobain.
that's my little story.
