Random Thoughts For The First Monday Of The New Year

So we've made it to 2010 and part of me is very disappointed. Being a firm believer in doom and gloom the fact nothing has happened up until this point has left me wondering if all this doom that has been predicted will ever happen.

Okay who am I kidding. I am very happy nothing has happened yet. Cumbre Vieja hasn't broken off from the volcano on La Palma in the Canary Islands causing a massive mega tsunami to head for the entire Eastern seaboard, Yellowstone hasn't erupted yet, and most shockingly California hasn't sunken into the sea.

I went to Best Buy today and first off the little snow storm we were having was amazing. Not so much for the snow but the wind. The wind right off the water where the Best Buy around here is was something else.

The music section was a complete mess and I couldn't find hardly anything I was looking for as usual. This is why I shop mostly on Ebay now. Not only is it cheaper, but everything is at least organized correctly. I did however pick up Chickenfoot's album along with Play My Game by Tim 'Ripper' Owens, and Liebe ist für alle da (German: "Love is there for everyone) by Rammstein. Apparently the album is censored in Germany because of the song title "Ich tu dir weh"(I hurt you) and a piece of art in the album. It's on The List of Media Harmful to Young People in Germany. I fear some day we might have the same thing in this country when a group of unelected people decide what is and isn't moral. They want to do it to the Internet (it's happening in Australia right now) so physical media wouldn't be to far behind if they can pull that off here.

Thank's to a gift card from Amazon I was able to get Alice In Chain's new album "Black Gives Way to Blue" which is amazing and you should get it if you don't have it all ready. I also got "Nostradamus" by Judas Priest, The Rise Of The Forth Reich by Jim Marrs, Bret Hart's book Hitman: My Real Life in the Cartoon World of Wrestling , and Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine. I also got a couple of Barnes & Nobel classics in Dracula and Wuthering Heights. Looking at all the books I have, I am in need of a bookshelf.

Other then that there is not much of interest going on.

So here's to 2010 and let's hope it's a good one for all of us.
