I Remember The Face But I Can't Recall The Name...

| I'll always remember where I was the moment I found out. |

About thirty of us packed into a room with a white board and a projector to count down from ten. It was hot. We were tired. We were hungry. We needed alcohol.
Then I saw it in front of my eyes, and started tingling from my head to my toes. I wanted to cry. It couldn't actually be happening. We cheered. I hugged everyone in reach, unable to describe the feeling that had come over me.
The better man had won.
I walked home to the symphony of car horns and people screaming "Obama!" out of their dorm windows, and into the lounge, full of another two dozen people just like me, just in time to hear his opponent's speech. His concession was the first classy thing I had heard him say in the past two years of campaigning.
And when I finally heard Barack speak about hope, and change, and coming together, I knew that I had been a part of something great.
I am a witness to history. And I've never been more proud to be an American.
"And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn... I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too."

I just got my senior yearbook, and I had to stop reading it because I was about to cry.
I got a message from Jennie Gartner that said, "Have Fun! ...be good."
I'm painting a Campbell's soup can on the ceiling of the art room.

So you're saying that Coke is regular sex and Pepsi is oral sex? And our generation is the Coke generation and our kids are the Pepsi generation? I'm not sure which one of those is our sponsor, but I'm sorry.

Tonight I had the misfortune not only of watching, but paying to sit through Will Smith's new movie I Am Legend.
First and foremost, this movie is terribly written. It is set in the year 2012, when New York City is wiped out by some deady virus spread by poorly computer generated monsters, and Will Smith's only solution is to stay in the abandoned city to cure it. He then proceeds to walk around for an hour and a half, only speaking to his dog and his video camera.
But if that doesn't have you on the edge of your seats, consider this: just when Will Smith (god only knows his character's name; since nobody ever speaks to him, it never seems to come up) is about to die, he wakes up on a couch in someone's living room... watching Shrek. He tells this chick, whom he's never met (and I'm not sure why she's alive) about Bob Marley, his basis for trying to save the world.
So what's the solution?
They move to Vermont.
At the end of the movie, they drive to some little town full of foliage. (Apparently "some people way up in the mountains" were immune to the disease.) Except it's flat. And Vermont is not flat. They pull up to this wall, and two men with machine guns let them in. The people of the town cheer and come to see them.
Now that's just silly. Everybody knows that in order to move to Vermont you have to get a gay marriage first.

This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen.
Pay attention to how much they hate the Blue Team.

My night is wonderful for two reasons:
1. Stephen Colbert is running for president.
2. The central principle of Buddhism is not "Every man for himself!"

R.I.P. CBGBs
1973-2006
I was talking about it with MereDith in APUS and Mr. Peterson was like, "Wait, what did you just say?" He was like, "I used to go see the Talking Heads there." SOooooo cool. EQX (eew, radio, I know - my ipod's broken) did a tribute to the bands of CBGBs and I heard the Ramones and drove randomly to Pico. The guy was like, "It's a good thing Joey Ramone isn't alive to see it." Fuck Vegas.
