"This is life at a pace that will crush us all right back to where we began."

When I grow older, much older than I feel at this moment, I have but one request for the man I shall become; Study Andy Rooney.

OMG! Yes. If you've never seen any of his segments on 60 Minutes then you, my friends, are missing out. His ability to ramble on about the most random and senseless thoughts is simply unmeasurable, if only because he's creating the scale all future pointless diatribes will be based on.

I only mention this because I saw his newest one today and it was about the weather. More specifically on the fact that we can't control it. And, by that I mean, he was actually speaking to the audience like it was life shattering news that humans can't control the weather, which, speaking for myself, was news that completely altered my life. You can read the transcript here, but doing so will only leave you with the question I've been pondering all night;

WHO THE FUCK IS SUSIE?

Not that I actually care, this is just a mental exercise. Preparation for the mind done in the hope that if I do it often enough, maybe just maybe, when the time comes, that I will be just like Andy Rooney. With quotes you can beautifully take out of context, like; I just wish we knew a little less about his urethra and a little more about his arms sales to Iran. Why wouldn't I want to be?

I wonder if he likes music like I do? If he does then he should really check out Greenland is Melting and their album Our Hearts are Gold, Our Grass is Blue. It's a folk record with great harmonies and arrangements that you can just find yourself getting lost into. And, yes. This one is free to download from Paper + Plastick, so long as you don't consider your email address to be currency. If you do, then tune in next week as Andy Rooney rambles on about your severe case of stupidity.

You're the sweetest girl I've ever met. Perfect in every way. Those stupid things you do, the horrible decisions you make, they don't bother me at all. So, don't take the fact that I'm removing you from my life personally. Justify it the way I do; Convince yourself that there's something horribly wrong with me.
