so i bought the new pearl jam cd today. i think it came out on tues. i haven't listened to the entire thing yet, but thus far i am disappointed. i know that everyone considers the album "ten" to be one of the best of all time. i would agree that it is an amazing album, but i have to say that i think "yield" is my favorite. maybe just because it's more progressive, the melodies are a little catchier, i'm not really sure. "ten" is very raw-sounding, which i love, but "yield" just rocks my face off. the new album, called "riot act", or at least most of the first half of it, is mush. i say mush because most of the songs have nothing memorable about them. i mean lyrically they are very good but in my opinion they don't have solid distinct melodies, which is sort of a necessity for good songwriting. if you want to be successful in music, you have to write songs people will remember. maybe eddie just figures he's made his millions so he can spend the rest of his life writing crap. to his credit, though, i will say that i do very much enjoy the song "i am mine" which is getting quite a bit of radioplay right now. and maybe the rest of the cd is okay. it only cost $11.99 at best buy though so i think i'll be okay. regardless, eddie can still have my children.... oh wait. it doesn't work like that. i forgot.

so when i was at the grocery store yesterday i bought the latest issue of psychology today. basically because i'm a nerd and i like reading stuff like that. and i read about an alarming study that was conducted among 4,700 college women which showed a link between frequent physical activity and suicide. one of the results of the study showed that "women who frequently exercise alone are at the greatest risk for suicide." among other things, what i would like to know is, when it says "alone", does it mean no one else around or just no one else around that you know? i need to know this, because if i'm at greater risk for suicide i should probably check myself into therapy.

dg, agreed. it's kind of a shame that i sort of know a lot about you but don't know you. maybe we can remedy that sometime. :)

so there are more things i would like to discuss but i am pretty pooped and i need some sleep. so maybe i will discuss them tomorrow. yes. WHEEEEEEEE. goodnight mom, dad, grandparents, aunts, uncles, rozi, matty, joshy, dg. goodnight world.
