Heya. Just had to show off mah new song. Trance, this time. Thumbs up for it were issued by Wytebred... and he doesn't like trance, so it HAS to be good. ^_^

I'm about to place a 15 minute ban on phone calls. My ploy is to start fixing up some sort of meal... sandwich, TV dinner... whatever... then leave the phone since... well you HAVE to eat food, right? My ears should leave me because of loud music, not long phone conversations.
Does anyone have a phone that explodes after 15 minutes of use? That'd be handy.
Anyway, life is good in general. I get to go in for a root canal on Monday!

... What?
Hm... mild rant time.
People bash the RIAA without really knowing what they do. They just seem to fit under that general MEGACORPORATION sort of auroa... I guess they're not THAT horrible - but they do have their foot in a bucket of shit 99% of the time. (Note: If this defines horrible to you, let it be. I'm still irritated at Nickelback for copying their hit song structure in to TWO songs, exact chord progressions, tempo, drums and the like... do a search on google for You Remind Me Of Someday. Anyone telling me about how cool it sounds will be shot for ignorance.)
Anyway... the point that was going to be made. People would still download MP3s if CDs were $0.50, and the corps behind them were decent. (Though... if the corps were decen they'd stop complaining since it takes 5000 downloads to statistically incur the loss of one (1) album sale... you read right.) People look for excuses anywhere they can... Which can be applied to most things in life.
For example, homosexuals... a whole bunch of people are against them either because they're just scared or religiously inclined to hate them. They don't really have a reason to hate them, they just do. It's a scary and weird concept, to them, and most have never met one. It doesn't even bug me that they haven't met one and they pass judgement on the group/lifestyle/whatever. What does bug me is the fact they've never done research on the subject. (Let me just interject here that I liberally use the "I have gay friends" excuse for covering up anything I say... Also, they're just plain people... so stop flocking to them so you can make that excuse, damnit. ) For a school project, I threw together a paper containing PLENTY of reasons to hate homosexuals... search around online... trust me, you'll find a lot of 'proven factual bullshit' around about these people that happen to be oh so different. (Extra pepper on that sarcasm on the oh so different part.)
The sad part is, when inquired... NONE of these homophobes could give me a damn reason why they hated this group!... so, the paper failed it's initial purpose to stop me from going nuts when I heard anti-gay remarks, and made it worse because it pointed out their idiocy.
Okay... I need to go to bed before an eye socket blows.
