No worries Anton. Shit happens.

I was, and it fucking sucked, but all is well now after running a bunch of anti-virus, anti-spyware stuff.

A cool cover of Radiohead's Idioteque:

I don't have much to say about Oasis, as I don't really have much of their music, but I will say that "What's the Story Morning Glory?" has some of the dumbest lyrics I've ever heard.

Matchbox Twenty - The Burn

Regina Spektor - Braille

The Eagles - Long Road Out of Eden

Portishead - Roads

I'm not even sure if there is a time period involved. I'm not going to make any claims, because I don't know for sure and it's never been done, but I don't know if you COULD die from a lack of REM sleep alone. I actually doubt there's EVER been a case of someone dying from "REM-sleep deprivation." So my point still stands. Edit: Dude, your exact post says: There's no buffer for saying that you're "not an expert." There's no "I think" or "I'm pretty sure" or "I heard that..." It's written as a statement of fact. I'm not trying to be a dick, and realistically it isn't a big deal, but it just bugs me to see incorrect information disseminated in this way. If I didn't know better, I would have believed your post 100%, and then this false information would just spread further, you know? You may not be an expert, but when you use a factual tone, people have a tendency to believe it.

Why do people insist on stating "facts" that they don't know anything about? Unless you're talking about incredibly large stretches of time (months) without REM sleep, you will NOT die. Sleep is required to live, REM sleep is not. It's very important in maintaining psychiatric health (memory consolidation, etc.), but lack of it is not lethal by any means. There have been studies done that have deprived HUMANS of REM sleep for weeks on end. They recieved the same total hours of sleep as the control subjects, but were simply not allowed to enter a REM state. This experiment lasted several weeks, and all of the participants survived. REM deprived subjects were irritable and had some other deficits that I can't remember, but the very fact that an ethics board allowed this experiment should be evidence enough that REM sleep is not required to live.

I dreamed that my buddy Mike found a pair of wings and gave them to me. I put them on and flew (more glided) around. When I was done, I gave them back to him and we went to a big stadium. As I was walking towards the changeroom some kid asked "Yankees or [some other baseball team]?" because I was wearing a team hat. I go into the change room and see Mike. But he looks like he didn't bring anything. He sees my concern and is like "oh shit!", and he runs to a pile of stuff and takes a plastic tube out. It's the wings, and he teaches me how to assemble them and gives it to me. I am incredibly happy and eager to fly again, and I tell him "if I do something stupid like jump off of a building with there and die, you can have all my stuff."

Shade: props for uploading Hotel California. I already have it, but it's an album everyone should check out. The Eagles are beyond classic.

I wonder how much I could get for my anal virginity (minus shipping)....

I love my iPod as much as anyone should love an inaminate object. I also find that it increases my musical apprecition through its versatility. An example would be that I listen too, and appreciate Primetime Deliverance a lot more often than I would without an iPod, because I don't like the rest of Underdogs, and it would be a pain to constantly swap the CDs.

8/10. It's pretty cute, but it looks more like a chick or canary than a duck.

A lot of people think that "punk" is rebellious, and then they also say that it's about being who you are. What if you're a really passive person, and you refuse to take action against the government/social norms, etc? You're not rebellious in the least, but you are "not changing your identity for anyone or any belief." Punk? Edit: And if that is the case, it's pretty much impossible to identify people as punks, especially if we do away with the "identify them by their appearance" deal. Thus, if it's impossible to tell if someone's a punk without thouroughly examining their inner psychographic profile, what's the point of the term existing? I think "punk" NEEDS to have a superficial, appearance-based definition. Which makes it stupid, IMO.

Jesus, that was pretty harsh, Ryan. My thoughts: while I do care about autism (I've worked with autistic kids, and have done "my part" in the past), I come to this message board for discussion and fun, not to essentially be solicited too. Perhaps others feel the same. No offense intended whatsoever, and I sincerely wish you and your family the best of luck.

The Eagles - King of Hollywood Well he sits up there, on his leatherette Looks through pictures of the ones that he hasn't had yet When he thinks he wants a closer look He just gets out his little black telephone book He's calling, calling He's calling, calling Come sit down here beside me honey Let's have a little heart-to-heart Now look at me and tell me darlin` How badly do you want this part?

Kamelot - Moonlight

This is a paraphrasing, as I forget the exact wording, but: "The man who discovered fire was probably burned by his brothers at the stake he taught them to light." ~ The Fountainhead, Ayn Rand.

I was in a weird, slightly futuristic city, and for some reason there was some guy from my highschool (Andrew C...totally random) who was pissed with me for some reason. So we organized a boxing match, and my friends were all helping me out in training. It ended up being one-glove boxing, and the guy attacked me from behind days before the event. I kicked his ass really really badly, made him puke, and then I puked, went to my room, and told my friends. It was really really random.

Matthew Good - Endsong. Man, 15 Hours... is such a beautiful album. Whenever I start getting a little burnt out on Matt Good, it can ALWAYS bring me right back in.

On another note, the trailer is hilariously bad. When he puts on the tunic and hat I almost lost it. It's definitely an April Fools joke, but it was pretty well done.
