what's with all the apocalypse?

So...typical me, I just got done watching I am Legend only about a millennia after everyone else has already seen it, and it got me thinking about the recent (or relatively recent) spate of apocalypse flicks that have sprung up.  In the past few months I have seen that, plus Cloverfield,  and Children of Men.  All deal with the impending doom of world destruction one way or the other.  Couple that with the upcoming presidential election that, if it goes the wrong way, could easily spell doom for the literate half of this country, and there is a definite feeling of armageddon going down in the good ole US of A.  Perhaps that is why my fellow Nashvillians were so quick to jump on the gas crisis rumor today, spawning a run at the pumps that left the majority of Nashvegas without gas until Tuesday or Wednesday, myself included.  There is a general malaise rocking this country that hasn't been so prevalent since the days right after 9/11.  It's like an intangible dread.  I feel it often, though rarely speak of it.  Just like some weird shit is afoot at the Circle K and I don't know what to do about it.  Anyone else know what I mean?

holla.

more awesome time wasting

As if I need help finding ways to pass even more time with ridiculously unimportant mindfucks, I have found a new web browser thingy that will facilitate my need to waste time while rebuilding my stamina to whack more mobsters. Because my life is all about my mob now, people, and if you have a problem with that I will gladly call up Vinnie and Sal and have them pay you a visit. Anyway, it is called "Stumble Upon" and I did just that while looking at some gay shit I don't even remember now. But it is awesome. The site will install a toolbar that has a stumble button. After you have answered a few questions about your particular likes and dislikes, it will then randomly jump you to pages that it thinks you might like. I just mindlessly surfed the web for a good hour and only stumbled to maybe two pages I didn't really care for. The rest of them range from amusing or mildly cool to freakin awesome enough that I added them to my bookmarks. And let me tell you that not just any website merits a tab in my book marks. Anyway, look it up. You, too, might enjoy stumbling for a while.
holla.
oh, btw, my ankle/foot is still fucked up. thanks for asking.
