Sweaty fools

Dance like there's nobody watching. Those are some of my dad's favorite words, and I must say I don't fall far from the tree in this respect. Over the last few weekends I've been a dancin' fool on several occasions (twice at Windom Earle shows, and at Skratch Bastid last night). There are few things in life as fun as getting together with your amigos and busting stupid moves in a big sweaty crowd. House parties are good for this, but some bars aren't bad either. Baba's is pretty loose and will let you get freaky with your shirt off, which is nice as it gets hot in there. One thing that's not too cool about these festivi are the drunken idiots that just get in the way/break things, and the people who don't like getting other peoples' sweat all over them, and getting bumped into. If you're going to get into a situation like this (especially a Windom Earle show) expect to get drenched with sweat; not only yours, but that of the people around you too. And about the bumping into people, I don't like getting smashed by moshing idiots (people only mosh because they can't dance, FYI) anymore than anyone else, but if you're in a crowd of dancing people, expect to get bumped into sometimes, and get your feet stepped on a fair bit. What I'm really saying is, if you can't stand the heat, get off the dance floor.

Ok

I need to straighten something out for some people 'out there'.  When you get an email or Facebook message saying that if 15,000,000 people join a group, or forward this gas prices will lower, or some kid will get a new kidney, or you'll get an ipod in the mail.  If you believe any of these, you deserve to get attacked by an awe-wielding kid on a bus.  I have no idea why anyone would believe any of these; why the hell would any of these things come about, especially from any of these pointless online activities?  Gas companies aren't going to lower gas prices because 13498573589475934758943498673495450376235 people joined some Facebook group; why would they?  We're all going to continue to buy gas, and it's not like they think the public enjoys 'high' gas prices; they know we are cheap.  Bill Gates will not mail you a dollar for every person you forward this email to; he doesn't care about you, and chances are, if you're on of the people that believes those emails, no one at all cares about you.

Beyond me

The creative abilities that some people have are astonishing to me.  I'd like to know what makes one person genuinely more creative than another.  This is what caused my curiosity in the subject.

In unrelated news, these images are incredible.
