It’s sad but in my eyes the upcoming election is only a distraction to the inevitable crash that neither candidate can save us from.

It’s extremely easy to point the finger and say Bush did this or that, or the government did this, or republicans/democrats when speaking of the current economic situation but if you’re looking for someone to take the blame look no further than the mirror.  Greed is what let this happen.  Some of the biggest corporations in the world were playing the game with the riskiest hands and the most immoral business practices probably ever put in practice – and we (the people of the world) let it happen as long as we were making money, no one cared until it all collapsed on itself.  So while everyone is out and about bitching over the money they lost, keep in mind is partially our own fault.  I accept it too for buying stock in crooked companies expecting to gain profit.  That is just my 2 cents.

Death Cab for Cutie – What Sarah Said

And it came to me then that every plan
Is a tiny prayer to father time
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU
That reeked of piss and 409
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself
That I’ve already taken too much today
As each descending peak on the LCD
Took you a little farther away from me
Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines
In a place where we only say goodbye
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend
On a faulty camera in our minds
And I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose
Than to have never lain beside at all
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground
As the TV entertained itself

‘Cause there’s no comfort in the waiting room
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
And then the nurse comes ‘round and everyone lift their heads
But I’m thinking of what Sarah said
That love is watching someone die

So who’s gonna watch you die? So who’s gonna watch you die

Death Cab is an excellent band – I love them because they have great music for just relaxing and what not.

It is just really convenient when I feel like watching a movie and I don’t want to go anywhere – plus even though the iPod can barely play an entire movie without the battery dying (at least my 5th gen 30 GB iPod) – its cool for long trips.
