these endings are beginnings

i’ve been feeling very restless lately. mostly i feel like i attach to things quickly because i don’t have much else going on. so maybe restless is the wrong word. but it definitely is part of it. i need to actually get the new band together.

at least vassie, sid, and i are going into the studio tomorrow. we’ll have a grand old time. i talked to john (our engineer) and he sounds excited too. we’ll have stuff online as soon as we have a good mix.

it seems lately that everyone’s been giving me old computer parts and pieces lately. i have a few ideas concerning them, but i’m sure i won’t use them all. anyone have any ideas?

it’s funny comparing heartbreak stories. you talk about the similarities between what happened to you and the person sitting across the table from you. talk about what your ex did to finally end things for you. their endings, our beginnings.

best. idea. ever.

this was on Bill Maher last week. she seriously has a great idea here.

FYI: while the unemployment rate continues to climb to its highest rates in decades, Republicans just vowed to attempt to block passage of a 14 week extension of Unemployment Insurance Benefits on the Senate Floor. Just FYI, Republicans also hate the American worker.

the republican party will do anything to stay relevant these days. i think they may sense the end of their national war-profiteering corporation (a.k.a. the congressional military-industrial complex) coming in the next decade. sarah palin and joe the plumber are both examples of them trying desperately to stay in the spotlight.

and go figure, they want to screw the little guy. just because you are unemployed does not mean you are a non-productive member of society. sometimes it’s quite the opposite…

A Titanic Memorial Cruise is scheduled to sail exactly 100 years after the ill-fated voyage on April 10, 1912, the cruise’s organizers said.

The memorial cruise’s ship, the Balmoral, will track the route of the Titanic, CNN reported Tuesday.

Yeah, that’ll surely end well.

What a grand idea…

From the Huffington Post, excerpt:

A CIGNA employee gave the finger — literally — to a woman whose daughter died after the insurance giant refused to cover her liver transplant.

Hilda and Krikor Sarkisyan went to CIGNA’s Philadelphia headquarters, along with supporters from the California Nurses Association, to confront the CEO Edward Hanway over the death of her 17-year-old child.

In 2007, Nataline Sarkisyan was denied a liver transplant by the company, on the grounds that the operation was “too experimental” to be covered. Nine days later it changed its mind, in response to protests outside its office. It was too late: Nataline died hours later.

“CIGNA killed my daughter,” Nataline’s mother Hilda told security. “I want an apology.” Sarkisyan was not able to speak to Hanway; a communications specialist talked to her instead. After their conversation, employees heckled the group from a balcony; one man gave them the finger. CIGNA called the police and had the family and their friends escorted from the building.

There is no part of hell hot enough for these people.

as far as i’m concerned that woman has my full support if she decides to burn down the headquarters of CIGNA in retaliation. i’ll even help out.
