I wonder if President Bush is a big fan of Thomas Jefferson....

Kansas state quarter

Come on Kansas.

Who voted on this? I don't mean to say anything bad about Kansas, I've got friends from Kansas and they're all very nice people. And I know there isn't a whole lot out there, but I think the quarter could have been a little more interesting. I mean, it's a buffalo and a flower. Wow. I rank it second worst after the Texas quarter. Just the big state of Texas with a star, but I didn't really expect anything else.

I guess we've still got North Dakota and Nebraska to go and they might be worse, but I don't know if it could be much worse.

confused by the fairer sex

ahh, yet another chapter in my attempts with the fairer sex...

Don't you hate it when you're friends with this girl and both of you are single and you think you like it that way - you two both being friends - but then you start going back and forth and thinking, "maybe it could be better" but then you think again that you should just stay friends and all of the sudden she's dating someone and it's not you and you realize that you blew it?

That sucks.

Harry Potter

Right. So I was a little late to jump on the whole Harry Potter bandwagon & just started reading the books a couple weeks ago. One of those "don't want to do it because it's popular" type things, and then I realized that was stupid and heard from a lot of people whose taste I trust that they were good, so I started reading them. Have to say I really enjoyed them, finished the 6th book today, and since I've been reading them basically one right after another, I find it disappointing that I'll have to wait until the 7th book comes out before finding out what happens in the end. I think the 5th book would have to be my favorite, I really like how dark it is and how quickly it starts. The 6th is a close second and then the 4th, 3rd, 2nd and finally the first book.

Anyway, guess the point is that not doing something just because it's popular is stupid, because there's probably a reason it's popular (although I have to retract that logic when it comes to pop music and reality TV....).

Hi everybody!!

Hey all you people out there!

So this is my first attempt at doing a blog. So what should you expect? Random thoughts mainly, some music, movie or book reviews and just things about everyday life.

And so it begins...
