Hello, world! Some many other people are bearing their souls online, I figured I'd jump on that proverbial bandwagon and get with the program. Here you go - welcome to my rantings and random thoughts. Let's start off with the new cover of Maxim with Michelle Branch...I thought that she was above that kind of trashy marketing, but I was wrong. It just makes me sad that she has to resort to bearing lots o' skin when she was doing just fine with her guitar and vintage t-shirts. Now she's barely covering her ass on the cover of Maxim. She's a big girl, so she can do what she wants, but I think that her current fans like her because she hasn't resorted to this kind of shamless pubilicity...until now. So go ahead Michelle, expand your fan base to include those who don't really listen to the music and who just plain like boobs. It's America...god bless us, one and all.

On a lighter note, ONLY 4 DAYS UNTIL TRILOGY TUESDAY. It's going to be a beautiful day...a landmark day, one might say. "Return of the King" will win best picture; I can feel it in the air!!! Okay, I'm done. Feel free to say I'm wrong or that I suck or that you think I'm the smartest person, like, ever. I'd appreciate any feedback.

Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.
