“So would you run if I told you I love you, would you run if I asked you to stay? “Would you cry if I said that I missed you? Sorry is all I can say…” (Video embedded on xcopfly.com)

1994? 96 maybe?

Why did it have to change into this? Everyone hates when you’re forced to change plans, but drastic shifts in society which work against you, which you try and fight for the next 5 or so years, watching yourself fail over and over again and praying for something to change. They say they are happier, [...]

It’s like…

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

It’s like you “try to feel better”, and you think you do (or you want to think you do), but then you get sad again and it just feels weird. From an era of better weather, which I keep praying that it will return and these horrible Januaries and Februaries will go away forever: Music [...]

They give you the deletion page to look at, where you can see that the decisions are made by a democratic process run by obvious teenagers. If you thought Wikipedia was inaccurate before, it’s [...]

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

If you’re as old as me, you remember the 1990s Nickelodeon cartoon Doug. The children in the show listened to a music group “The Beets”, a hybrid of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Ramones, and The Clash. Here are some real people dressing up like The Beets and singing to their songs “I Need [...]

Something I discovered a long time ago but don’t think I posted until today

Monday, February 15th, 2010

I most likely didn’t post this here before, as it doesn’t turn up in a search. But I discovered this goofy act of plagiarism a long time ago: Rick Springfield, 1981: Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” The Coca-Cola Company, 1993: Always Coca Cola
