I'm Going to Fight You Steve

I saw this video on collegehumor.com. Stop action fighting, what's not to like?

Some of you might already be familiar with this web comic, but for those who aren't, I can't stress how funny it is. I used to check it all the time, but now, when I need a guaranteed laugh I visit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. (Sorry it's a bit small, but if I expand it, the resolution sucks. Go to the website for the original.)

The Best Game Ever Played!

No, I'm not talking about golf. My friends (mostly from Charlotte) and I have invented The MUSIC GAME. And I think it would really interest you music fans. Here's an explanation of the current version:

the Music Game v3.0 is a competition. It's a game where 9 contestants, living all across the country, compete to make the best mix of the group. There's a 12 song limit and while it's an unwritten rule, mixes featuring good never-before-heard music are generally favored. All mixes are created, duplicated 9 times, and anonymously shipped to a central location by April 1, 2007. And once they're numerically tagged, these mixes are then divided up and sent to each participant, who has approximately 1 month to listen to and evaluate each mix before voting on the best of the best. The prize for winning is bragging rights as well as a much enhanced music collection. Superlatives are also awarded based on categories that are thus far undetermined.

Check out our BLOG (www.musicgamev3.blogspot.com) we have going about it. The track lists for all the mixes are in the bottom post. OH, and we often hide our identity by using character names from "The Office"

Handouts for the Homeless

Last night in downtown Kalamazoo, a young man accused me of being "un-heartless" for not giving him money. Was he right? Is refusing to give a handout to a (presumably) homeless person "un-heartless?" I think reasonable people can disagree on this, but while I want to help out the homeless, I think it's probably better to give to shelters. In my limited understanding of the homeless experience, I think that some people don't want to go to shelters because they can't do drugs or drink there. If they are sustained by handouts, they stay out on the street. But if they went to a shelter they would be warm and well fed. They could also get cleaned up, learn that crack is wack and maybe find a job. But when I see them, I feel a little guilty all the same. The Onion offers this point/counterpoint on the issue. Any thoughts?
