Assuming that there's anyone reading this on the regular, I thank you and apologize for not writing soon. Since it's getting late and I have to get ready for work soon, here are some brief random thoughts and things that I've discovered or rediscovered since my last writing.

1. The Terri Schivo case was and is a private family matter. The government should have kept the hell out of it.

2. Don't buy an Ipod. Go to Iriver. I recently purchased the H320. It holds 20 G of songs,photos and text. It also has a FM tuner and a voice and audio record. More bank for your book.

3. The republicans and the Bush administration are not looking out for the common man. If you think so, then why did President Dubya sign a bill making it harder for you to file bankruptcy if you lose your job and can't pay the bills?

4. Speaking of the present administration, why do they want to get rid of the filibuster? Simple. So that they can stop any possible opposition to their bullshit agenda.

5. Nicole Kidman is excellent in The Interpreter. Good film.

6. Grey's Anatomy and House are two of the best new dramas on television. I watch them religiously.

7. Glenn Close on the cast of The Shield has made the show to 11 on a scale form 1 to 10.

8. Joe Cocker's version of With A Little Help From My Friends is better than the Beatles' original. Deal with it.

9. If your reason for or against anything is based SOLELY on the Bible, you need lessons in critical thinking. Soon.

10.I've heard a lot of songs from Liz Phair's last album. Great songs. Better than I expected. There is no reason why this woman isn't the super megastar that she should be.

That's all I got. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.
