Love And Marriage…And Plugs And Whining

Well, long time, no chat. I’d apologize for not being around a whole lot over the last little while, but to be honest, I doubt any of you really missed me all that much if you missed me at all. So where have I been? Well for starters, my sleep has gone to hell in …

The Most Horriblest Song Of My Life

Ug. I heard a horrid song on the radio. This wouldn’t be all that special, there are lots of horrid songs on the radio. But this song made me want to kill its author. It was called Lonely Day, and System of a Down unleashed this attrocity on us. So why was this song so …
