What if?

So I was eating lunch at a Wendy's the other afternoon and I started thinking... what would our country be like if there wasn't a single fast food joint (McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, etc.)? And this means that they had never been thought of. Just how much would that change the way we live?

Okay... now I know this picture isn't that big but I think you get the idea here. Now call me crazy, but wouldn't you have to be a little messed up in the head... I mean not thinking clearly at all, to be holding a POSSUM!!?? And not just holding it, but this guys walks all over town with it. In fact, prior to this picture being taken, he was walking it in the park across the street. So yeah, just a little curious?

90 Minutes Of WHAT!, HUH!, and BALLL!!

So, where to start? Well, tonight Matt and I had the glorious opportunity to go to a "concert" (If you want to call it that. It was more like a ski lodge with a coffe shop combo package. With an atmosphere of a camp fire except for nobody you knew, nor would want to get to know... plus you COULDN'T HEAR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE MUSIC WAS SO LOUD!!)

So like I was saying, we went this "concert" headlining Paul Wright preceded by a bunch of LOUD obnoxious openers. Yeah, we thought they loud, nope!! Paul Wright was quite a bit louder! Not to say so much that he himself was loud but his bassist was loud. Couldn't hear anything over that. (The guy at the mixing board wasn't too sure what to do. I mean, he waas probably thinking to himself, "uhh... I can't mix, I don't know where to start... uhh... MAX THEM ALL!!") So yah, definately LOUD!! Ooh!! Guess what, now I can be part of the "deaf community"... but is it with a capitol "D" or a lower cas "d"... like I even care. (In other news, if Deaf Community was a real band, they would probably sound a whole lot better than Paul Wright Live!) Oh yah, also, I'm MUTE now, no, no, not from singing... YELLING!!

So now we find ourselves standing in a room full of strangers, in the dark, listening to badly played music, and I payed $8 for this? But as Matt put it, "It's like an $8 massage!" Seeing as how the bass was so loud, it was shaking my insides! So we did, what what everyone else WANTED to do, we left... and went to Shari's.

Now this is a whole other story... so if you arn't completely lost and or bored, you can leave a comment asking me about it. I will be more than glad to share it with you!

Deaf or Blind

So this topic arose on Sunday during the pre-game entertainment when Stevie Wonder was singing. Would you rather be blind, or deaf?

Personally, I would rather be blind. One of my reasons for this is because I absolutely LOVE music. I don’t know what I would do if I couldn’t listen to music.

So now I ask you... deaf, or blind?

So... this is exciting.

According to an article in todays newspaper, it is legal to carry a sword in the state of Oregon. Here is the article, it's not very long.

Since You Asked:
It’s legal to carry sword(s)

Why is it legal for a person to own and carry a gun with special permits but not a sword? Swords are far less lethal. If someone attacks me I should have the ability to choose what kind of weapon I should be able to protect myself with, shouldn’t I? Are people just more afraid of swords than guns?
— Jesse C., Eagle Point

State lawmakers either agree swords are less lethal or they didn’t think to bother with a weapon so archaic.

Oregonians actually can carry as many swords as they want, according to Jackson County District Attorney Mark Huddleston, who has found no legal reference to the contrary. However, carrying a sword with the intent to use it against another person is a crime, he said.

And while we’re clearing up one misconception, you may as well know that Oregonians can carry guns without special permits as long as the firearm is openly displayed. Carrying a concealed gun without the proper permits is a crime, as is carrying a concealed knife, switchblade or ice pick, Huddleston said. Swords are not referenced among concealed weapons, either.

"... They gotta be hard to conceal," Huddleston said.

And, of course, one must consider swords’ superiority over guns because they never run out of ammunition, the district attorney joked.

How exciting is this!? I guess now I can bust out my sword collection again! Yessssssssss!

And who takes an ice pick with them when they leave the house?! Honestly!!

I am not happy...

So our stereo at work, well, to be blunt, it just SUCKS!! I just happen to put in a brand new CD I purchased on Monday. Well, the stereo has decided not to cooperate when it come to ejecting the cds. It happens to be a 5 disc changer and when I push open, it opens about an inch or so, then closes. This does not make me happy as I see this as the stereo mocking me. Not cool. Needless to say I have gone a few rounds with said stereo, but I have lost each time. Now my brand new cd is stuck in the tray somewhere, and most likely scratched like crazy. Also, not cool.

Next round, I take a hammer to it just to show it who is superior. It won't be pretty.
