"...my mind won't allow me to not be curious/my folk don't understand so they don't take it serious..."

Random thoughts:

- You always take your reverse gear for granted until you can't use it anymore. For the past couple of days whenever I've had to back up, I would have to put my car in neutral, open the door and push with my foot. I started calling myself Femi Flintstone.

- One of THE most aggravating things to me is being at the mall and getting caught behind a large group of people who are in absolutely no hurry. I'd rather be caught in traffic. I don't know what it is, but people walking slowly just irritates the mess out of me.

- So what exactly is the deal with white girls having booty nowadays? I mean, is it a permanent thing or a fad? I need to know these things. The whole concept is eroding my sensibilities. I just know that if I hear one more upper class, suburban white girl describing her posterior as a "ghetto booty" I will not be responsible for my actions.

- I miss Napster. That may surprise some people who know me, given my stance on CD burning. But I have a very specific stance on the issue. I DO burn CDs, but I won't burn an album just so I or someone else won't have to go spend money on it. When I burn a CD, it's always as a mix of songs from different albums. I also freely admit to file sharing. If I'm only interested in one song on a CD, I'm not going to buy the whole thing. However, for any artist that I like and respect, I will support to the fullest. Not just by buying CDs, but also going to their shows and getting merchandise. But I miss the early days of Napster. At that time, there was only one file sharing network out there and EVERYONE used it. So if there was a song available to get, you could get it. If I wanted to get that rare Fiona Apple remix with Rakim spitting a verse that only had a limited release of 1000 CDs in Belgium, no problem. Nowadays, there are so many different networks, and everyone uses a different one. And then there's the unwelcome advertising and spyware. You didn't have to worry about that crap with Napster. Simple, straightforward design with no BS. It was, man, you know...all about the music, man.
