Choice? What Choice?
Barrack Obama sucks. John Mccain sucks more.
Seriously, it's barely even a choice. It's more like voting for the lesser of two evils. I must admit, I had the smallest amount of hope in Barrack Obama's campaign when it began. Not that I like him personally-just that I thought he might actually CHANGE things. But now that he's going on about residual forces in Iraq, I'm done.
And McCain? If he gets to be president, you might as well just kill me now. Tom Morello said it best:
"Can a country that elected George W. Bush, twice, elect someone who comes across like that is unclear to me," he said. "If America elects [Republican Senator John] McCain, well, then maybe we don't deserve better than McCain. In the most recent congressional election, the Democrats were elected to stop the war, and like cowardly dogs, they failed to do that. No matter who is in office, it's our responsibility to take the wheel of history in our hands, if we want to see a different and better world than the one we live in now."

I've Wanted One of These Forever.
I've wanted a messenger bag FOREVER but none of them seem just right. So I made my own! I'm thinking of putting some of these up for sale sometime, if anyone shows interest in them. If not, I'm still really happy because I have one I LOVE!
This bag has a Palestinian flag on it, and a quote from a Rage Against the Machine song (Voice of the Voiceless). It reads, "You'll never silence the voice of the voiceless."
I'm so psyched about having such a personalized bag! YAY!

Guitarage?
So I play the guitar, and I'm really getting into a lot of Tom Morello's work. He is an incredibly innovative guitarist, and I find his techniques endlessly fascinating. Plus he's not a complete moron, so that's nice too. That guy knows his stuff. So if you haven't heard of him, he's the guitarist for Rage Against the Machine, and formerly Audioslave. He also does some solo work, and he's called the Nightwatchman for that. So check it out if you want to hear some mind numbingly creative guitar work!

Top 10 Albums
Okay, this is just my current "Top Ten Albums" that I'm into right now. It'll probably be different in a week. But this is what I listen to a lot nowadays:
1.Euphoria Morning (Chris Cornell)-I've been addicted to this album for almost a year now. Still not tired of it. It's GENIUS. Every song on it is incredible. If you don't have it, get it.
2. In Utero (Nirvana)-In my opinion, the best Nirvana album, and just awesome in general.
3. Down On the Upside-(Soundgarden)-Pure lyrical genius. And some really great riffs too. I mean, it's not exactly thorough riff rock, but it's clever. Now Badmotorfinger, THATS riff rock.
4. Live Through This (Hole)-It's one of those albums where all the songs get stuck in your head. It's really good, lot's of different elements, from abrasive to mushy. It's a really great album.
5. Superunknown (Soundgarden)-This album is SO good. The vocals are awesome (as always) the guitar is FANTASTIC, and it's CATCHY! This album is grunge gold.
6. The Battle of Los Angeles (Rage Against the Machine)-Okay, you want the finest rap/rock there is? RATM is the band for you! With often political subject matter, the songs on this album are full of creative guitar parts, (the solo on Sleep Now in The Fire is nice) in your face lyrics, incredible bass playin', and AMAZING drums, this album is one of the best.
7. Nevermind (Nirvana)- Nirvana makes it twice on my list! This album contains original grunge glory. It smells exactly like Teen Spirit.
8. Audioslave (Audioslave)-This is like an album full of singles. You get the awesome instrumental power of Rage Against the Machine, with the addition of Chris Cornell's unrealistically powerful voice.
9. Louder Than Love (Soundgarden)-Soundgarden also get's to make the list twice-This album is a pretty early SG album, and has some really original stuff on it. It's fun to listen to, at times it's actually funny.
10. Coral Fang (the Distillers)-A great punk band, fronted by Aussie chick Brody Dalle, who has a nice abrasive voice and is great at writin' songs (nice gory subject matter). This album is actually The Distillers calming things down a little bit, if you can imagine that.... It sounds like Hole, Nirvana, and Rancid, all stirred up in one awesome spit in your face punk band.
So there it is, my top 10 albums list. Do with it what you will.
