Six out of 10 young Americans cannot find Iraq on a map

So reads the recent article in the Independent. When I read this I couldn't help but think of the comedian Greg Giraldo, who has noted how the extent of the average american's foreign knowledge is that "french chicks got hairy pits."



you owe it to yourself to visit Greg's website and listen to the audio clip -

"Underwear Goes Inside Your Pants"

as a patriotic American, let me take the liberty to help undo the embarrasing fact that 6 out of 10 don't know where Iraq is. considering about 2 people read this blog every month, it might not do much, but at least i just learned where iraq is...



knowing, in this case, is probably more like 1/16 of the battle...

running makes me angry, anger makes me run

there's nothing that bugs me more than how high maintenance the human body is. I take a break for a few months while I lose my mind writing ridiculous grad-school analyses and I can't even enjoy some well-deserved junk food without putting on like 10 pounds. Not only that, but if I take a break from running for even a week or two, its like my cardiovascular system resets itself to "I can't believe you're a non-smoker" setting, and I have to start all over again just to build up the stamina to run a decent amount just to be able to lose some of this annoying baggage. Yes, it sucks.



holy crap what a sweet photo...
Tonight the only thing that got me through that last minute and a half is Das Oath, one of the only hardcore bands out there that combines the right amount of raw aggression and simple, time true formulas, with perfectly incoherent yowls, and just the right amount of odd creepiness. (see song titled "awesome rape" ?!?) This is how I like my hardcore, overdriven, underfunded, and dripping with odious live energy. Even their website is a raunchy piece of crap, where half the links don't work. cool...

Check out their latest self-titled album here . But if you're going to download it for your free trial, please come back here and do it through these emusic links so that we get some sweet sugar.
