so funny to me how history repeats itself. Its such a cliche that the phrase has lost its power.
but here we are in the greatest and most powerful country ever and facing all these huge problems. WIth all of our technology and improvements we are still repeating the same things over and over.
I'm just hoping its a 1930s problem and not a Rome kind of thing.

Goodbye Saturn
i bought a used car yesterday...hyundai sonata. Its a luxury vehicle compared to the saturn.
All I have to say is the car buying process sucks. I am not a fan of talking to car salesmen.
One question... why did the finance manager not even have a calculator I could use?
Power.
The car is actually an 08 that used to be a rental car but its looks clean inside and out. 36000 miles or so. car payments... 158 a month. I put a big chunk down. I made them show me a carfax report. I didnt let them try to talk me into lower monthly payments and asked for the FINAL price I would get after finance charges etc.
Overall I give myself a 7 in negotiating. My saturn was literally on its last breath so I was a bit pressed to get something that day so I should have went to my bank for a better APR. I kinda got screwed but I believe I can refinance at some point so that takes care of that.
My brain raced as I dealt with these people and I learned a lot about what to do next time I buy a better car. Overall I am satisfied and just hope the car doesnt turn out to have problems.

the votes are in....
Troll 2 is the worst film ever made.
Seriously watch some clips of this and marvel at how lame it is. So lame in fact SXSW premiered a documentary of the making of this thing.
IMDB gave it a score of 0. The actors are cult heroes now (and probably the worst actors I have ever seen on film). The trolls are midgets in potato sacks with cheap masks. The plot is odd and unfollowable.
The script was apparently written in another language and then translated into english so its beyond awkward.
Basically put its the stuff cult films are made of. What I find hilarious is that there was never even a troll 1. I imagine the director...."if we make it part 2 then maybe it will do better in the theaters..."

I heart our new drummer
Alex is awesome. We met up with him and let him know he's in.
He told us how he felt like a little girl checking his email every day for our response. The dude is totally stoked to play with us and we couldn't be happier with our decision. We sat around, had beers and hugged as a foursome several times. It was totally cheesy but absolutely awesome. I am more stoked to be part of this band then ever.

little ditty
no melody yet. just words.
sometimes I am just an actor
in this bankrupt silence
driving home from you
nothing you can put together
covers up the violence
of the things we get into
sometimes I'm floating weightless
in the empty spaces
of another aftermath
I can almost see the angels
furrowing their faces
as I'm slipping out the back
