I think I've been reading too much Tolkien again

There's a shadow in my mind.

I'm not sure what that means, and if I did I still wouldn't tell.

Then again, for all you know I know damn well what it means and I'm just not saying because I want to be cryptic...

Why I don't sing

Last night I was catching a ride with alanator to a Club Atlanta party and we were flipping stations on the radio. Rather, he was flipping stations and I was trying in vain to stop him from turning it off things I liked.

Then one of my all-time favorite scream-along songs came on. "Self-Esteem," by the Offspring. You know, the one that goes, "The more you suffer, the more it shows you really care... right?"

So I'm gleefully singing around, and about the time I finish the first chorus I notice alanator is begging me to stop with a look of utter pain on his face.

His comment? "I didn't know there was a cat giving birth in the car."
