The Snow
The drifting snow lands on my windshield making everything seem to glitter, even though it doesn't.

On second thought there is nothing to dance to
I've been hush hush on the whole RIAA thing, the whole "we're gonna sue you nameless people because you're downloading music and not buying CDs anymore." Well after being so quiet about it I've come to a conclusion: FUCK YOU RIAA. Yes, I know it's a general sentiment held by many people, not original at all. But let's delve for a moment the truth behind this "FUCK YOU."

Is it senseless vulgarity? Are people just responding to a big corporation without looking at the facts? Some may be. Some people, we call them assholes moan about anything that has to do with something big affecting something small. It even works on a religious level. Atheists are so upset with a higher power controlling them they choose to ignore Him. Atheists are assholes. But what if the angels and God's works were stupid and just things that made no sense? Would atheists be wrong in not believing in him? I think not.

What I am trying to get to here is that the record industry isn't selling less albums because of music downloading, it's because new music sucks and has become extremely generic. Take a look:

1 Josh Groban, Closer
2 Alicia Keys, The Diary Of Alicia Keys
3 OutKast, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
4 No Doubt, The Singles 1992-2003
5 Toby Keith, Shock'n Y'all
6 Sheryl Crow, The Very Best Of Sheryl Crow
7 Various Artists, Now 14
8 Ruben Studdard, Soulful
9 Evanescence, Fallen
10 Jay-Z, The Black Album

OK, the first thing to notice is that 3 of the top ten albums are volumes of songs that have already been released. Meaning 1. you have the album the song was on already, or 2. you've downloaded them by now. Let's talk about quality: Josh Groban - whiney white guy singing about love, making the girls swoon - CRAP. Alicia Keys - whiney black girl singing about love, makes nobody do anything - CRAP. I think OutKast has one good song, maybe two, but besides that you can lump him together with Jay-Z and I wouldn't know the difference - CRAP. Toby who? CRAP just because of a stupid name. Ruben - to bad Gay Aiken is skinny and annoying because all the girls like that. But Ruben is doing well for himself considering - NOT CRAP. Evanescence - They've been on the charts for 45 weeks, their music is interesting, that's what 45 weeks mean - NOT CRAP.

So you see out of 10 things only 2 are buyable. The rest are downloads for singles or things you already had. Shove that in your lawsuit RIAA!

If I had the chance I'd ask the world to dance
What the heck is wrong with me. Why can't I just go into the shower and go out to campus? I have to stop, sit down, listen to the beginnings of a couple of MP3s (cause I can never be content with the whole song), and surf the web, looking for pointless news and the such. I think I've pressed my e-mail button at least 20 times due to the lack of intelligence I am presenting right now. I swear to God I end up letting everything pass me by because I have my fat ass on this chair! But here's a quandary: I went for a run this morning. Does that balance out this laziness? Does running give a leniency towards being lazy in the day. "Hey Tom, why aren't you moving? Well I went for a run this morning. Oh! Then sit all you want." Does that work? Does working out bring the intolerable laziness level to a negative, giving you that capability to not move if you don't want? See I would think so. Of course many can argue this point, but at the end of the day did you work out?

And then there's the Insomnia. I'm sure if I closed my eyes and tried hard enough, I could go to sleep at a normal time. But I don't. I was up till 4 last night. THAT MAKES NO SENSE! Who am I trying to impress? I did nothing. I watched TV and wrote in a journal; things that can get done when the sun is out. And it's not like I didn't have the time yesterday, cause I did. I must have commented on this at some other time cause its a frequent thing. I did it last year a lot. I'm running out of things to say. Or I need to shower so I can get to campus. Yup.

I want a radio show
I want a radio show. What did you expect me to say, it's the damn title of this blog entry. But I want a radio show. There's an "information session" next Wednesday to get one with the campus channel. I tried that last year and it got me dick. I want a radio show. Yes, even for one semester. What will it be about? Doesn't matter because I just want a radio show. This isn't national broadcasting here. I can figure out what will be on it when I get it. But I want a radio show. I cannot repeat it enough times. That's my focus until next week. Radio show.
