Last night we went to see Pearl Jam. We had really shitty seats, in behind the stage, for which we had to pay full price and we were surrounded by obnoxious teenagers. the two directly in fron of us jumped to their feet the second that Pearl Jam came on stage and did not sit down again until the concert was done... which wouldnt have...

So I have amde a decision, at least I think I have. Most almost definitely decided, maybe. The pwan... (deliberately misspelled) I change my area of concentration slightly.

Money and celebrity once more prove to be the winning factor in the American legal system. Mr. Michael Jackson has been fonud not guilty of all charges against him. Nice to be able to afford to buy your way to innocence isn't it?

I had so many topics I wanted to write about this week. And all of them seem to have vacated this brain of mine.
After a visit to the doc, we have decided to try and wean off the Effexor to see if that is the root of all my evils medically. This means that it will take three weeks to get off the meds,...
