This is a great album that I think a lot of 8&5ers might appreciate. It’s incredibly catchy. It’s getting a lot of play on my iPod these days, and I’m sure I look like an idiot, grooving out in grocery stores and wherenot to beats that nobody else can hear. But you know what? It’s worth it. You can get a sampling on their official website. I got my copy off emusic.

I loves me my gmail. Now the goog is testing out some new features, and allowing all users to participate. TechCrunch has a detailed rundown here, but all you really need to know is there is now a new tab on the settings bar, “Labs.” From here you can enable new beta features that will possibly become fully functional gmail features in the future (largely based on user response). New ExFeats^{® ™} (my nonsensical-sounding invented name for this that I just created here and now, beware my wrath Google) are expected to be added somewhat regularly.

States like Massachusetts, California and New York have begun reluctantly allowing folks to seek a gay marriage. This is an outrage! There is no reason for these states, or any states, to force an expectation of happiness onto any bickering couple of disgruntled partners. If people want to despise each other, if they insist on hating, then by all means, it is their God-given right to loathe their very existence!

Passing legislation mandating joy and happiness is beyond comprehension. Just because it’s in the constitution doesn’t make it any more right! Even if everyone on earth were married there would be only a handful of couples who would declare their marriage to be gay.

The rest of us? We’d be working on the honey-do list…or working to avoid it! By definition, the very nature of settling down with one other living creature for the remainder of our lives is flawed. Wolves seem to practice serial monogamy. But only you and me - FOREVER!? It’s madness. It’s a bad song from the 50s. It is fitting that in the animal kingdom only a vicious species of wild canine are one of the few examples of monogamy. I doubt that they are happily monogamous. It is likely that their monogamy is what drives their viciousness.

There is no such thing as a gay marriage. You can legislate all you want, you simply cannot people to be happy! By definition, once you are married, there is no happiness. There is no joy. In the end, your only joy from the imprisonment of marriage is the silent release of death. Once you are released from your earthly bondage, any happiness you were forced to enjoy through legislation won’t matter anyway.
