See you later 2007. In some ways, especially here on MOG, you've been great, but in many other ways, you've been a crashing bore, or worse. Don't go away mad, just go away.Now let's bring on 2008!

My childhood Christmas memories are a bit more non-traditional than most, less family-centered. Since it was just me and my mom, that made sense for us.My mom would make me wait until breakfast (homemade bran muffins with raisins) to open presents, then would stand back and allow me to go after them all. After looking over everything, and thanking Mom for it all, cane the big fun; putting on th...

As I sit here at work... listening to the lovely tunage my ipod shuffles just for me, I am struck by how much I missed you guys !!! I am still recovering, but I am back & ready for action, who's with me ?!?Let's see... during my hiatus, I listened to music sporadically at best, mostly slept & watched movies & slept some more. When I did listen to music, I found even more comfort in the arms o...

So I missed Electrelane (someone got to the venue a bit late and it was packed though it had tickets left which means that they gave out too many invitations and I could get in if I wanted to but I wouldn't be able to breathe much and it's not like they're a favourite band of mine so meh) and I went to see Control instead.

I'd say that quote describes me fairly well. Believe it or not, it comes from the Bible, Proverbs 18:17 to be exact.Here's another quote for you:*"Is it possible or impossible to compare the experience of those who have suffered to those who have not suffered? Is it ever possible to warn anyone of oncoming danger?How many witnesses have come to your country, how many waves of immigration, all w...
