here's my take on things

Today I was walking home and I saw a homemade sign on a telephone pole that said "SAVE THE EARTH. KILL ALL HUMANS." People really love the environment here.

"Tim why were you walking home when you could have been driving home in your awesome car?"

Well, I was watching a bluegrass band play at a bar that was not very far away from my apartment (sidenote: Today I thought about starting to call my apartment Yavin 4, or, Hoth). I never cease to be amazed by bluegrass music. I love its simple lyrics, technical playing, and twangy tone that grates on my ears in a way that is inexplicably pleasant. If I were going to write my own creation myth, I would have something like this:

A Thunder Storm fell in love with the Mountains. They had a child, and the child's name was Bluegrass. Bluegrass mostly resembled the Mountains, but in his most emotional and honest moments, he resembled the Thunder Storm.
