Hey Guy(s):

I have not posted at the blog for awhile because--let's face it--I have nothing to say. I could talk about a book I just read--suburban nation. However, I was not impressed with it the first time I read it, and the second reading did not help me change my mind in regards to the book. I guess it was filled with too many generalities--tell me something new or at least cultivate an interesting view on things. It was not as loathsome as reading Naomi Klein, but it was still kinda (blah).

Soap Operas: any good one's out there. I remember staying with my grandma in Tower, MN, back in the early 90's and all we did was watch soap operas. Back then, soap operas were actually well made. In the year 2007, soap operas seem rather mediocre. Is there something I'm missing?

Bodog: Battle of the Bands: A show that's not as good as Vh1's Bands on the Run. Of all of the 2-million reality shows I have been subjected to since the early 2000's, Band's on the Run takes the cake--I actually rooted for Soulcracker.

I don't know...Prince's Planet Earth is Coming out Tuesday. I guess I might have to buy it--kinda impressed he played first ave.

I like Akon's "Sorry, Blame it on Me." I guess it's a good pop song--and a good slice of life. I remember watching Steel Magnolios back in HS because it was considered an excellent example of a SLICEofLIfe. FUCK...Akon's newest single has to be the best reaction song I have heard since South Bronx was made to counter the Bridge--and it's telling of the times. With the shit that goes on in the suburbs--parents letting their kids get away with murder--this is a song that needs to make a dent on the charts.
