Odds and ends plus a little rant.

This blog will be multi-faceted. I feel the need to rant, but first:

Song of the Day

Anybody Seen My Baby - Rolling Stones. I dig this song. Catchy melody, sort of grunge/pop. Download it.

"Anybody seen my baby
Anybody seen her around
If I just close my eyes
I reach out and touch the prize
Anybody seen her around

Lost, lost and never found
I must have called her a thousand times
Sometimes I think she's just in my imagination "

Life is...

your Ipod randomly picking out the only song out of hundreds that you really want to hear.

Now that that's over with....

I never thought I'd write anything political in this blog, but I can't believe what happened today. Today Palestinians overwhelmingly voted Hamas to a clear majority in the Palestinian government, in a move that can only set the path to peace in the Middle East alight with fire and cover it in thorns. Who, in their right mind, willingly votes a bunch of terrorists to run their country? Granted the Palestinians had a choice between the lesser of two evils. But why Hamas, who reason with suicide bombings and rule with militant rhetoric? Hamas, whose leaders have no experience in goverment, and espouse with venom the destruction of Israel.

Congratulations, you've sent your country back to the stone age.

As if this blog wasn't random enough:

I watched the first 40 minutes of The Fugitive earlier, and damn if it isn't one of the greatest movie beginnings/setups ever. Tension, drama, action. I love this movie - pulling myself away from the TV took a lot of effort. Harrison Ford vs. Tommy Lee Jones, what a combo. That Oscar for Tommy was well deserved. It's one of the best movies of the 90's.

have a good weekend folks, I know I will.
