Long Hiatus

Wow, I haven't posted in what seems like forever. So what's new? Well, I've been training with three soccer teams which has chewed up a lot of my time. But that should hopefully settle down once the season starts.

Also, 10,000 Days will be released in North America tomorrow. While I've already been listening to a leaked version of the album for the last few weeks I'll still be picking up a legit copy. (Maybe I'll post a review)

Finally, I attended a dinner with Christopher Hitchens the other night, which was quite entertaining. He's just as amusing in person as he is in print.

Other than that, hockey playoffs are in full swing, Champions' League and the Premiership are wrapping up, and summer is well on it's way!

Here's some lyrics until next post:

"angels on the sideline
    puzzled and amused
why did Father give these humans free will?
    now they're all confused

angels on the sideline
    baffled and confused
father blessed them all with reason
    and this is what they choose

how they survive so misguided is a mystery
    repugnant, dismal creature who would squander
the ability to live, to die, and have a conscience"

-- Maynard James Keenan (Lyrics from Right in Two from 10,000 Days)
