Ever feel this way?

Once in a while (okay, once or twice a day -- alright, alright several times a day. Happy now?) a lyric strikes me as especially profound. Today's entry comes from the song "Something Else" by Good Charlotte (Good Morning Revivial 2007 - Sony Music)


You could come from something, you could come from nothing
You could be a princess, you could be a working man
But in the end...

We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something we can't have
We all want something else (We all want something else)
We all want something strange to us
Maybe a roll in the dirt, or it's a seat in first class
We all want something we can't have.



Yeah... I guess we do at that.




Makes the perfect gift
On another topic entirely, I seem to be getting a lot of spam lately trying to sell me Viagra or making recommendations for Father's Day gifts. I wonder if the two things are related. Why do they bother? My dad left this world years ago, shortly before the last time I had sex.




Not So Fast!
show of hands: Who thought the Red Wings would make short work of the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Final?
Zzzzzt! Wrong.
The Pens forced a sixth game last night, and there wasn't anything "short" about the way they did it. After blowing a 2-0 lead and falling behind 3-2, Pittsburgh forced overtime on a Maxim Talbot goal with less than 35 seconds to play. Which brought on the sweetest sound my ears have heard since 2002. A hush of disbelief falling over Joe Louis Arena. The Penguins finally handed Detroit their second home-ice loss of the playoffs halfway into the third overtime, and put the Stanley Cup back in its trunk for a trip to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. The odds still favor the Wings (heavily I'd imagine), but major props to the boys from Steeltown for shutting up the NHL's second most obnoxious fans for another night.


All The News That Fits
Maybe you heard. Sarah Jessica Parker had a wardrobe malfunction of a different kind at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. Seems the gown she was wearing had been worn before -- twice. Once on the cover of a magazine, and once at a red carpet gala in New York. I guess this must be some kind of serious scandal, because it not only made last night's Inside Edition, but was picked up by several news channels as well. I have to ask... was it just a slow news day? Neither of the dress's previous occupants died in it or anything like that. Were there classified documents sewn into the hem? Nobody's saying. But I can see how this might take precedence in the headlines over the war, the price of gas, global warming... After all, we hear about those things all the time, right? This is breaking news people! On par with Tatum O'Neal getting busted for allegedly trying to buy crack.
I got three words: Who.Fucking.Cares.Stumble This!
