Top 5 things we hate about guysKatyAnn | Myspace Video I spend a lot of time online these days, between reading email and cruising the Internet in search of gainful employment.

As I wrote to a friend after finishing my first spin on this: “What the world needs now is more warped master statements!” And to think I almost didn’t spin it once after reading the lyrics in the booklet.

My world was shattered today regarding one of those small little truths we just wanted to believe so much. But, upon learning the truth, we must face the harsh realities of life with courage: Apparently Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie were not named after the cop and taxi driver characters with the same names …
Fish (no relation to Phish), late of Marillion (though he wishes everyone would quit talking about that), always held his various broken hearts so close that they burned from body heat. So when life threw him a genuine own goal—he courts the female singer of a female progressive band, they engage, they set the date, …
