what's in the bag, ma'am?
I recently read a survey saying that cd sales are up in the U.S. With all the pissing and moaning from RIAA about music being traded illegally.this seems to be counterintuitive. I would, however, like to see a survey that reveals the rate at which cd's have been shoplifted over the last decade. My gut says it will have gone down...but RIAA was wrong so I don't see why I couldn't be.
...and boy do i hate the game. I think it's because I'm such a crappy player. Ok, so i'm not THAT bad at it, but in order to be have a fighting chance, I have to change how I act and I hate that. Mainly this happens at bars when it's open season in dating land. People act retarded. Guys want to show how tough they are and try to start a fight. If you back down you're seen as a wuss (yes, i could've kicked his stupid-drunk ass). End rant.
But on the brighter side, this is why we have friends who know us...so we don't have to prove anything to anybody. It's rare to find someone who'll lay down in the middle of the road for you and someone who you'll do the same thing for. I am lucky to be able to count most of my friends in this category. End touchy-feely stuff.
