The Hills?

I just read that the cast of MTV's The Hills each make $100,000 per episode.

WHAT?

Talk about being in the right place at the right time. If Laguna Beach had just been Penn Hills, I'd be sitting pretty right about now.

I guess it just amazes me that these folks are not special in any way: they have no acting talent, they are not exceptionally attractive and they've never actually accomplished anything. From TV alone, they're making much more in a week than I'll make in a year for some time. I guess I don't bring my employer a few million in ad revenue each week, though. I'll have to look in to that.

P.S. Christen (Kristen?) was way more attractive before she went on the "Hollywood-20-pounds-less-than-I-really-should-weigh" diet.

WTF Toilet

So I'm getting ready to go out on the town for the evening, and I'm brushing my teeth so I'm not all stanky-like. Anyways, as I'm brushing my teeth, apparently I decided to reach out and flush the toilet. After about 10 seconds, I realized that I did this and had a serious WTF moment. Then, to add to the consternation, I did it again! Why? What is this mysterious force compelling me to flush my toilet? Why must it force me to flush while the tank is still filling from the last flush? Is my apartment possessed by Satan like the spaceship from Event Horizon?

I hope not because that movie sucked.

ignorance, fear and Cheetos

I was writing a blog about fear being the root cause of socialism. I don't really want to ride the dead and beaten horse, though. I'm conflicted.

I don't know what to do. On one hand, I've got one thing. On the other hand, I've got another thing. The two things don't coexist. Which to choose? Whiskey or water? Fresh prime rib off the grill or buffalo chicken? Coke or Pepsi? Doritos or Tostitos (maybe they have salsa)?

I'm out of stupid comparisons.

Back to work.

Out.

It's been exactly two years since The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. Where is my new album?!?!?!?!?

"That was my first time ever hearing of him. Somebody told me he sang Margarita-something."
