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 [...]

Sometimes people listen to music because it reminds them of something. Except (in my case) it has come to a point where I feel miserable, either because I’m not there anymore, or that it came from a more hopeful time. Right now, it’s this game I used to play – the game demands constant play [...]

Wikipedia’s mission of becoming an Internet-based user-edited encyclopedia is looking pretty grim, as its article count is shrinking by the bulk. 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 [...]

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
