the rhythm

matisyahu. geez people, so freaking good. so good. please check this out. actually, here is what will happen. my brother would really like this, but he is too shut off from the world of music because "90 percent of everything out there is crap." so now i have to try and convince him to listen with an open ear. right now he's already forming an opinion on it just because i like it. tom will probably buy the cd 5 months from now. matt won't have to because he's probably been aware of matisyahu for 8 months now. karen will never hear of them. ryan will laugh at me and mock me for listening to it. no one else i can think of has a usual response to the new music i like.

a commercial came on last night for some burger place and it was advertising their new bacon bacon cheese cheese burger. i wish i could remember the actual name, but basically that is what it was implying. and when i decide i want to get closer to my inevitable heart attack by eating a little too crazy, that kind of burger would sound so freaking good because cheese is a staple and who says no to bacon? at first i thought the commercial was for sonic burger i think. which i'm down with. sonic is fine by me. but toward the end their fonts looked like carl's jr. which i thought was even better. but finally the logo comes up at the end and it was burger king. it was such a let down. who goes to burger king? frankly, i can't see how they stay in business.

there are too many white people in utah county. i just feel more comfortable in diverse settings. nothing but middle class caucasians get old after a while.

i saw at costco that star trek the next generation season one is for sale and i realized that i'm not ashamed to admit that it would be a fun dvd set to own. every one made since is crap, but tng was crazy good. no shame in that.

a mercedes commercial just advertised a new car where the windows automatically go up in a rollover. i assume that the reason you would want this is so you aren’t thrown out of the car during the accident. that seems like a reasonable request. so that would mean the windows would have to be up extremely quick since accidents take place so quickly. next time you are in a car use your electric window button and see how long it takes to completely roll up. surely longer than the time it takes to start rolling over. in that case i’m sure we can build super fast windows that take less than a second to go up. the problem with that though, is what if your arm or head flies out the window from the impact and all of a sudden you become decapitated. i wouldn’t think that would be good for the company. is it like a garage door opener that will sense an extremity and stop there or go back? it would probably be the safest option in this whole dumb idea, but although i believe we have the know-how to make the lighting fast window, i’m not so sure we could make the sensor in it and make it all work every time. so it all sounds dumb to me. who would buy a mercedes anyways?
