Random Thoughts on a Tuesday Morning

Facebook
How many people are actually friends with all of their Facebook friends or MySpace friends for that matter? I know that many of my friends on Facebook are really people I know through a class on campus or through other friends. Going though my friends list and deleting people that I don’t talk to (which I recommend should be done at least once a year) I was surprised at how many people I can’t remember ever actually having spoken to. I have better relationships with cranky customers from last week than the people I see daily on campus sometimes. I’m not sure if this is a good or bad thing.

Rave
Barlow Girl [ official website ] is a totally awesome band. For those of you not in the know Barlow Girl is a trio of sisters with a rocky/pop sound that makes me think of a Christian Bangles. Their self-titled debut CD has a song on it called Clothes (talking about how clothes today are ridiculously immodest, a fact on which I agree) that I recommend every girl out their listen to. The newest CD, How Can We Be Silent is just as great as the girl album. Their song Million Voices has the vocal melody and blend that I love along with a rock background that makes me want to jam real loud.
Currently, the girls on festival tours. If they’re near you totally check them out.

I tried reading I Heart Bloomberg by Molly Carlson but I was too aggravated by all the Gucci and Prada talk that I got annoyed. I might try again later but I doubt it (I tend to be stubborn with scorned books). You might like to try it though, it’s a special fiction feature at Family Christian Stores right now.

I have an idea for a new reality show. I think camera men should show the behind the scenes of presidential elections; follow the candidates around, show the day-to-day of their publicists and all that jazz. I really think people would watch it and it would help you to decide on which idiot you want to vote for.

Rant
I think it’s a lil weird for people to post pics and stuff of their kids on blogs. Don’t they realize that there are sick-o predators out there that love that stuff? Don’t they watch Law & Order: SVU? Or the NEWS!?
Not nearly as bad as the parents that let their ten and twelve year olds run around dressed in hoochy-shorts with cute on the butt and enough make-up to put the Barbie-dolls of the world to shame. What is wrong with these people!?
