It just started to rain... I love the rain. Nothing relaxes me more than the sound of it hitting the roof outside my window, and the thunder echoing down the street.

I picked up the new Breaking Benjamin, and it's well... okay, I guess. They had creative control for the first, and the label decided to take it away for this one, and believe me, you can tell. They also have Billy Corgan assisting on a few tracks with guitar and writing credits, and truthfully, it is a bad thing, except for Follow, which is actually one of the stand-out tracks on the album. I had high hopes for this one after hearing the single for "So Cold", but it is a bit of a letdown.

I've never liked Corgan, he always seemed like an self-centered ass when interviewed. I guess that's why I don't own any Pumpkins stuff.

Anyways, I do like the new albums by Muse and The Killers. They've been getting heavy rotation in my car for the past few weeks.

Ever since G4 took over TechTV, I've been looking for a reason to keep my extended cable, and I found it. Fuse has become my source for music videos, especially since MTV has turned into nothing but Newlyweds and Real World re-runs. Believe it or not, artists still use music videos to get exposure!

Well, I'm mulling over ideas for my first tatoo. I thought something like a progression of Mario through the years, starting with the good ol' 8-bit up to a version of the one we see today, somewhere on my arm or back. And, I've always wanted a Triforce between my shoulder blades as well. Thoughts?

I might go see SpiderMan 2 today, and maybe sneak into Fahrenheit 9/11 if I can.

And, the thunder rolls...

Edit: Saw Spiderman. Loved it. Better than the first. Cameos by Hal Sparks, Stan Lee, and of course, the amazing Bruce Campbell.
Go.
See.
It.
NOW!
