Karma - there are way too many shitty people who just continue to be shitty because nothing ever comes back to bite them. Meanwhile, people who actually try to help are kicked around the most.

Whirlwind - The Gits (recorded in 1993 released in 2000)

The Gits are one of the best bands to come out of Seattle in the early 90s. I feel like they could have been up there with the greats if their lead singer Mia Zapata wasn't murdered.

This song in particularl is a perfect example of how awesome they were. It has that early 90s Seattle grunge sound but with a more punk edge. They never officially recorded this song and this live recording wasn't officially released until 2000.

Zebra F-402 - I write really small and their fine tips flow great but don't run. Plus they're cheap enough that I don't care when my wife or kids steal them out of my desk.

Next stop, a seat in Congress

Full disclosure this is the first I've heard of this and only read the linked Wikipedia article.

With that said I don't think it was justified at all. Yes her parents sounded overbearing and abusive, but I don't think that condones them being murdered. She was 24 years old and had been working as a waitress to buy books and crap to make it look like she was going to school. All the while dating a guy who managed a restaurant and sold weed.

Why didn't she just leave and move out on her own? There were multiple other ways for her to get out of that situation yet she chose murder.

I was in the military and we had this big conference table that could fit a good 12 people at. About once a month our boss would give us the key for the weekend and we'd play Unreal Tournament, Quake 3, and Red Alert 2 for 12-18 hours straight while pounding back Mountain Dew Code Red.

Isn't everyone's subconscious from Philly?

I had a similar experience with RDR2. I knew Arthur was going to die on that last mission. However, I was not prepared for my horse to die. I found the white Arabian around the start of chapter 3, and it was the only horse I used after. On subsequent play throughs I would just grab a random horse before doing that mission.

Have you scheduled your colonoscopy yet?

A few year back, I took my daughter to an urgent care clinic. She was around 2 or 3 years old. While in the waiting room their office phone rang and my daughter jumped and went, "What was that?" because she had never heard a landline ring before.

"fuck, I knew I should have put that on a CD-RW."

Believe it or not, I recently have to script transferring files to and from a BBS. Got to love working with state governments.

It tastes nothing like OK Soda

Avenged Sevenfold - Exist is a 15 minute song that is about the big bang all the way to Earth forming and cooling.

American Pie - Don McLean it's the history of rock and roll from the 50s through the 60s

I always felt like The Batman was just a boring remake of The Crow.

I've always felt like Darren Aronofsky makes great movies but absolutely sucks at ending them. Every movie of his, that I've seen, I've enjoyed up until the last 5-10 minutes. He just makes the most depressing endings, that make me regret watching the movie.

After watching 12tone's analysis of this solo it gave me an all new appreciation for this cover and Prince. Don't get me wrong, before I thought Prince was top 10 now I'd consider his in contention for number 1.
