random thought of the moment:
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung, possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping your heart , you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it up carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries, avoid all personal entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket of your selfishness. But in that casket - safe, dark, motionless, airless - it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.

Today is Dean Gray Tuesday, a net-wide day of protest over Warner Brothers attempt to censor a stupendous noncommercial mashup album called American Edit that remixes Green […]
Band of Brothers
Brother is an awesome independent rock band that uses bag pipes and didjeridus. They call themselves "Australian Mongrel Rock". I call them genius. Anyhow, the following is an open letter from me to all Brother fans.
I've noticed a disturbing trend developing in Brother's internet fan base. Within and between several electronic communities, […]
