Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone had a good turkey day. Back to the grind. I have lots of stuff I’ve meant to post, but well, I’ve been busy.

Also, I just saw this on YouTube, according to the internets, MTV won’t air it. It really is quite powerful and makes you realize how lucky we really are. The video can certainly be taken in any number of ways. I am sure conservatives will take it as very anti-US (which it is clearly not when taken as whole), but I think that is just taking the easy way out without looking at the underlying message. Many of the shots of ours soldiers come straight from footage that I have seen on CNN which makes it even more compelling. The lyrics are posted below as well. Reflect and be thankful for everything you have.


Faithless – Bombs

We think we’re heroes, we think we’re kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

Key in the door, the moment I’ve been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss,
and a story, they’re a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I’m amazed

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold
We’re just children, we’re just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we’re nothing, nothing at all

One bomb, the whole block gone
Can’t find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
I’m gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done so now I got to kill someone

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

By that I mean a few things. Most importantly the election tomorrow will be quite the shake up unless the dems do something unimaginably bad in the next 24 hours. If you happen to be in Minnesota and still don’t know who to vote for Governor, head over to MRP and listen to the final debate held last night.

Second, Guitar Hero II comes out tomorrow. Head over to the website for some clips of the songs. Third, and probably of more significance than the second, is that the boys from Penny Arcade have started up their charity again for the 2006 Holiday Season. It was started in 2003 to counter the negative press surrounding gamers and to show that gamers are actually, gasp, quite giving people. They take donations in money or toys and give them to children’s hospitals all over the world. Last year they raised over 600 thousand dollars and hope to crush that record this year.

Freebird on Expert. Jump to 4 and half minutes in or so for the crazy stuff. It’s the last “regular” song in the game…

Lastly, my brother has written a funny post about MySpace and Facebook. Although, I am not sure he is aware that Facebook actually predated MySpace and it was MySpace that took the crown away from Facebook in the first place. Either way, good stuff.
