Big bangs


YES for you tv freaks, this is the theme song of The Big Bang, and it is genius. The Barenaked Ladies are probably one of the coolest bands ever, with their One Week and now this song. For something completely different:


Our troubles break and drench us.
Like spray on the cleaving prow
Of some trim Gloucester schooner.
As it dips in a graceful bow ...

But why does sorrow drench us
When our fellow passes on?
He's just exchanged life's dreary dirge
For an eternal life of song.
From "Life" by Ronald Reagan, age 17

I actually think that Reagan is starting to be my favourite president. I don’t know if the bombed anything he shouldn’t have bombed but the guy is a writer. That’s just cool.

But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.
