I'm employeed by the Mouse so “Hey,” thinks I “what can be more fun than makin’ a rat do tricks and getting’ points for doin' it!”

Do you have manual dexterity? Do you have time to waste? Well Ba-da-BING! Rat Wheel is there to whisk you from boredom, right into the arms of senselessness. Go for it... come on... you know you want to.

the music of the week...

If you like… well... you know; I can’t put this Brooklyn four into any comparison group at the moment. They have a slightly soft, slightly progressive harmony of hip that floats just as well in the background office routine as it does on a five hour trip up the i5.

The progressive flavor finds a little comparison to Porcupine Tree while the popish contrast might discover a little Guster in the mix. I’m not directly comparing Ambulance LTD to either of these bands. I feel that they’ve developed a unique sound, all their own and it will keep its rotation for quite some time.

If Dick Clark asked me, I’d have to say that they’re catchy and have a real good beat… then again, weren’t all the groups on American Bandstand catchy with a good beat? Give it a listen and if you don’t like it I’ll post pictures of that time I was caught dancing with... never mind.

The Highway, Part Two

Hate: I have seen its ugliness. I have lived its ugliness. I have torn from the inexorable shackles wrapped till bloods blackness spilt beneath the moons hallow breath of sorrow. I am not one who hates.

All right, so I haven’t really ever had handcuffs cut into me... well I haven’t really had handcuffs cut into me and make me bleed under the night moon but you can use that merry minuet as an analogy to feelings I have experienced so bugger off already and let me continue.

I have been forced, un-regrettably, to understand hatred and the ill-effects it waves. In the past ten years I have wade through its muck and misery and questioned the son of reason as to the meaning behind. Perhaps in pursuance of veiled peace I shrouded the path to which the answers would show.

God helps those who help themselves; although this statement is made of faith, the philosophy is well heed. Much as an alcoholic may not change until the disease is acknowledged, one must strive for betterment before it appears.

To break from hate, to minister sorrow, to help myself... I set a course for adventure, my mind on a new romance and cozied up to Captain Stubing. Now mind you – Isaac generates a much more appealing aura, plus he has a full head of hair and he’s pretty fly with the chicks but sometimes you just have to be the captain of your own ship (Gopher is cute but I really don’t want to hear cute, I want to hear ouch but that’s a different tale).

Many then, this is not a tale about me; it is a tale of my experiences that have brought ever expanding knowledge of those who embody hate. It is about those who may not comprehend, or those who refrain from the acknowledgement of anger.
