Check it: timber minus music dot com. Do note that there will be a Timber show here in Atlanta a week from Saturday, and that you are obligated to bring the rock.

I just finished a book that seems to imply not only that two people can never really be happy together, but that you will always yearn to some degree for past loves—that once you've become accustomed to certain things, even if they drove you up the wall, you'll still look for those things in others. When I first started dating Brian, it was hugely due to the fact that he was even-tempered and very consistently supernice, both of which were directly opposite of the characteristics that most made me cry when with nick. But while continuing on this fancy of nice boys, I find myself becoming more and more prone to being rather tempted by evilness myself, and frustrated that no one knows the proper response. I wish that I felt more able to hang out with him and figure stuff out a little better in my head, but the Elise thing totally prevents that, in ten million different ways for me. Unfortunately for my headcase, it also prevents me being able to cut all sections of my brain out that refer to him, something I typically excel at.
Perhaps I will clear my head of all these reservations and misgivings via all the messages I have sent to cute girls on myspace all day. I become more and more like a dumb boy every single day with my shallow appreciations and fear of commitment and overall reluctance to let people in.

From Rob(ert): Yeah! Fight the POWER!
As an act of civil disobedience, anyone who is not altogether pleased with the direction this country is taking is urged to refrain from spending any money on January 20 - the inauguraion day.
This means fill your tank and buy your milk, booze, DVD special editions and pot in advance. Just do it.
And when the cops come round and are all, "Hey, whatcha think you're doing not buying anything, HIPPIE?" you just sit there, curl up into a ball and take the baton blows and fire hose blasts KNOWING that you're sticking your neck out for a good cause.
And when we've all been arrested and crowded into cells for forgoing the purchase of Cheetos and Sundrop for a 24 hour period, just remember that this is all to insure a brighter future for our mass media-addled children.
Because we're Americans. It's a fucking CHORE for us to go a whole day without buying shit.
Please pass this along to anyone who may be of like mind and willing to take this huge risk.
