On the agenda for the week:

You Can't Handle the Mountains!!!

This has to be one of the best comments I have ever seen online:flickr.

Son, we live in a world that has computers, and those computers have to be powered by outlets with electricy. Whose gonna do it? You? You, Mr. Internet Blogger? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for mountains, and you curse the coal diggers. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That dug up mountains , while tragic, lets you whine on the net. And coal refining's existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, lets you whine on the net. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me in that mountain, you need me in that mountain. We use words like OMG, HAI and HAXXORZ. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent blogging something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who blogs and whines under the blanket of the very power that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a hamster wheel, and start powering your own PC. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

The Jonah Veil

Today The Jonah Veil were supposed to play a concert in Albuquerque and I was so excited about being able to see my brother and the band he's in play a concert. But because of a booking snafu (i.e. the concert was never really booked) they didn't get to play. The ended up hanging out at our house and having a cookout with Erin and I.

I'm really bummed that I didn't get to see them play, but it was a lot of fun hanging out and listening to them tell some of the stories about their cross-country trip so far. It's 10:30 and they just left a few minutes ago to head to their next gig in Abilene, Texas. Hopefully that concert will still be happening by the time they get there.

I've got a handful of pictures up of them at our house here: <link>


EDIT: more pictures can be found here: <link>
