Yah, good times, good times...

Everyone should listen to Phish's song "Heavy Things". It's a good
one. And also, check out Finger 11's song "One Thing". It's ok too.
Those are my recommendations for today. Why are they called
recommendations? I hadn't commended them yet, I've only commended
them once. Next time I praise those songs, then they can be
recommendations.

I got an orange armband for donating blood and also a Roaring Springs
one day VIP pass, and also a chance to win free gasoline for a year,
just for giving a pint. It's rockin. And the Cheez-Its were good
too, although the orange juice they gave me was really odd tasting.
Next time, I'll have to get cranberry. And it was also a little
disturbing when, on the tv, was Donny Osmond hosting a lame gameshow
called Pyramid. I don't like that guy. He thinks he's better than
everyone, and he made lots of pitiful jokes. I actually felt bad for
the contestants. Also, some of the contestants were former
celebrities. This one lady from Happy Days who's like 55 years old,
and a couple of unknown actresses that have only done tv series
acting. One of my friend's brothers beat up Donny Osmond's brother.
I laughed when I heard it. The Osmonds made their kid go to my
friend's house and apolagize because he had been a jerk. That's why
he got beat up. He was a jerk. True story.

And I'm off. Have a good weekend.
