Those of you who have RSS feeds attached to this blog may have noticed there has not been any new content for quite some time.  After considerable thoughts, I have decided to end this blog.  I will still keep all of my previous posts here as long as they are not removed, but in the end I decided that this blog should not be continued.

I picked up a copy of Green Day’s newest this morning at Fred Meyer, paying a princely $12.99 for the priviledge to do so. I missed picking it up last Saturday because of being busy and all, so I missed 3 days of listening.
