That being said, I'm posting Elliott Smith's Independance Day (mp3).
Future butterfly gonna spend the day
Higher than high
You'll be beautiful confusion
Ooh once I was you
I saw you caught between all the people out
Making the scene
And a bright ideal tomorrow
Ooh, don't go too far
Stay who you are
Everybody knows
You only live a day
But it's brilliant anyway
I saw you in a perfect place
It's gonna happen soon but not today
So go to sleep and make the change
I'll meet you here tomorrow
Independence day
I'm also posting a joke forwarded to me by my mom, who I'm pretty sure has found this blog and needs to fucking stop reading it right now, especially because she found it once before (damn Dad and his google-stalking) and promised not to read it.
A woman, in a hot air balloon, realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude, and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me. Can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago. But, I don't know where I am."
The man consulted his portable GPS, and replied, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes North latitude, and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes West longitude.
She rolled her eyes, and said, "You must be a Democrat."
"I am," replied the man. "How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But, I have no idea what to do with your information. And, I am still lost. Frankly, you have not been much help to me."
The man smiled, and responded, "You must be a Republican."
"I am!", replied the balloonist. "How did you know?"
"Well...", said the man, "You do not know where you are, or where you are going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, that you have no idea how to keep. And you expect me to solve your problem. You are in exactly the same position you were in before we met. But somehow, now it's all my fault. . . ."
