So, I’m going to have to support Sarah MacLachlan, Avril Lavigne and the Barenaked Ladies from now on.
See, they’re part of the group fo Canadian musicians behind this. It seems some of the artists being “represented” by the music industry have pretty much come out and said “Hey, can you greedy-ass pricks stop suing the people that buy our music, mmkay?” That, naturally, is an idea that I can get behind and as such I want to support these artists.
Then again… damn. Does mean I’ll have to start listening to Gordon Lightfoot if he signs with these folks too?
Out.

I’ve changed my settings to be more aggressive on trackbacks and to junk just about everything - and it will delete anything after 2 days because today I logged in and had 2000 Trackbacks for spam in a 10 day period.

Yep, its that time of year again when we celebrate the bunny crucified on the cross. Poor furry bastard, what those romans did to that bunny… Then they pelted him with hard boiled eggs that they painted with bright pastel colors.
Well, he died for our candy. So lets celebrate his life this sunday.
Often described as a caused by a chemical addiction in the brain, love always seems to leave us in the sense of the grandiose feeling we get with a new love in our lives. Like a match that is struck; At first there is a great intensity as the additional fuel accelerates the fire to burn the remaining wood. Then as it burns the remaining pieces of the match the fire slowly tapers off and then leaves the charred carbon remains.
Chemically, love is caused by several hormones and proteins in the brain, oxytocin, estrogen, testosterone, one of those tonins (mela, or sara), and of course the release of endorphins for a bit of pleasure. But once oxytocin mixes with those chemicals - bonds are made between two people. Depending on the amount of chemicals released usually depends on the strength of the bond.
Of course that’s the highly technical reasoning for why people are attracted to someone, fall in love and then 2-3 months later realize that they no longer have those stong feelings and abandon the person for someone else in order to regain those same fuzzy feelings of new found love. So yes, Love is fleeting, and moreover its very similar to a crack addiction.
And in particular - there is someone I keep up with that writes periodically on her blog about her exploits and the new “boy” that she has met, and she always ends up falling in love with them, and then surprised when just as quickly as it starts, its over. This is a perfect example of how love is fleeting, and not only that about what causes attraction vs what does not.
So the question remains do we as humans, abandon the constant cycle of addiction to new found love for settling with someone because we know that its something that is supposed to happen within nature? And is the rising trend of divorce caused by people abandoning tradition and going back out in search of this elusive romantic notion that one day you’ll find someone that fills you with that “like new” feeling for the end of your days? In truth, how many people find that happiness

This weekend we managed to catch “The Benchwarmers,” and it was pretty good. It started slow, but picked up and kept me laughing most of the way through. So if you’re looking for a good laugh, this is the movie to hit up. Also they had some additional trailer/footage of The Davinci Code. There are going to be some seriously good movies this summer from Davinci Code to Xmen 3 to Superman. So be on the lookout.
This weekend is Easter Weekend, a time of killer bunnies and too much candy. For you Catholics I think someone was supposed to be resurrected or something I forget?… 
Actually I think its just another excuse for you guys to get all boozed up on wine on a Sunday.
Who has plans for this weekend? Me, I’m heading back to Louisiana on Friday.

… At least, if I’m reading this right.
So, yeah. Turned out Star Wars Kid (and I know his real name is Ghyslain, but I don’t give a damn and he will forever be known as Star Wars Kid on this site) pussed out after the video of him acting like a spastic, fatass Darth Maul (which HE recorded and left in the camera, mind you) got found by other kids and posted online. He (or, to the point, his family’s money-hungry ambulance chasing scumbag lawyer) sued the families of the kids and is getting a $300,000+ settlement from it.
Now, there are some bright sides to this. First, the settlement is in Canadian money- so, it’s really about $150,000 in US money. Second, do you realize the potential moneymaker from doing dumb shit like this? I mean, hey- I act like an idiot from time to time. If I could somehow “accidentally” record it and “accidentally” leave it in a camera, thus leading to some “mean guy” finding said “accidental” recording, I could sue his ass off and make some serious bank here!
On second thought, no. After all, who would want to follow the example of Star Wars Kid on ANYTHING?
Out.
