Well, politics is officially a joke in this country. Arnold Shwarzenegger is going to be governor of California, but strangely, I'm jealous. I think it's because he couldn't do any worse of a job than Gov. McGreevey has done for this state. Yeah that guy sucks. Don't pass it to that guy.

Did anyone see the game last night? Holy crap was that exciting. Cubbies have a must-win tonite...

Yeah, so I just downloaded aim, so if you have it, my name is stringmule. I have no job, folks, give me something to do.

Not like you care, but I'm going to write a brief synopsis of the new Hey Mercedes album entitled Loses Control. These are my interpretations of the songs so far, so they may not even be close to the real meanings! The artwork and photography are nice as well.

01 Quality Revenge At Last
Lyric: There's a phone call coming from a Romeo in Joliet
Catchy song with some "Yeah's" in the chorus-probably most radio friendly I guess
02 It's Been A Blast
Lyric: All the arguments are not the same without you
Most uptempo on CD in my opinion. About a past fling he is looking back on.
03 Playing Your Song
Lyric: The lies are piling up so high that he can't sleep at night
Third person story about a guy who is with a girl but loves another.
04 Knowing When To Stop
Lyric: There's nothing inspirational like watching angels drop
The downfall of frienship through lies and fights.
05 The Boy Destroyers
Lyric: All I know is I'm never gonna go the safe way home
Loneliness.
06 Unorchestrated
Lyric: The point in time when everything dies. It's over.
Sad song. Depression to realizing things are not so bad.
07 Lashing Out
Lyric: Smile and sing along to every single song
Singing along to some band at a show.
08 Police Police Me
Lyric: The stars are all smiling. It's disarming.
Media, cops, and criminals are all the same.
09 Oh Penny
Lyric: And my dear old sharona keeps em on the floor wanting more
Happiness with someone elsewhere, but Penny is here now.
10 The Switch
Lyric: I'm a nervous wreck. Hey I'm a tightrope.
Sex compared to a video game? Huh? High score...if it takes all night.
11 Absolute Zero Drive
Lyric: So wake up soldiers and take all your arms and leave
My favorite song. No fear, man.
12 Go On Drone
Lyric: Stop the press. Who is that mess?
Miserable person continues to mope.
