Fifty Rock Songs That Defined the 90s | Gunaxin →
Huh, turns out music in the 90’s was more of a mixed bag than I remember it being. I mean, it wasn’t like it was the 80’s or anything, but it certainly wasn’t great.

Shuffle Up
Sara and I were sitting on the back deck last night, enjoying the breeze and our wifi, when she came up with a cool idea- hit shuffle on my iPhone and note the first ten songs that came up.
I had put together a list on the spot, but it is now lost to the gods of the internet, thanks to an unfortunate keystroke. Undaunted, I’m going to give this another shot and hope that nothing bad...

Holy Fucking Shit it's Fucking Hot Outside!
I can’t even tell you how hot. Wait…okay, I can. It’s 106 degrees. 1-0-6 degrees. That’s above zero, in Portland, Oregon. Lush, green, Portland. The one in the Pacific Northwest. You in the rest of the country know us as the place that rains most of the year.
This is insane. Not only was it 106 today, it was 105 yesterday, 101 on Monday and over 100 in parts of the area on...

For all of you assholes who play those first-person shooter games and revel in the glory of killing a bunch of Germans or Japanese or whatever, read this. Read this and try and go back to play your stupid fucking games without thinking about what this man went through in real war. No glory, no excitement, just survival.

Pearl Jam = Gen X's Rolling Stones
I was a grunge kid growing up in rural Minnesota. This means that I became a grunge kid right around 1993, two years after the rest of the civilized world. I devoured all of the big names at the time; Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains and especially Pearl Jam. Like many kids, I found a home in the thundering voice of Eddie Vedder and the towering riffs of McCready and Gossard. It...

Liz Cheney Defends Birthers On Larry King (VIDEO) →
Okay, look, I never wanted to even talk about this whole “Birther Movement” because I was hoping that if I ignored it, it would just go away. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It only seems to be picking up steam, especially in the past few days.
First, the Dems favorite hothead, Chris Matthews, eviscerated one of the Congressmen that’s putting forth what is essentially...

Far, Far Too Soon
My friend and webmaster for the humor blog I write at, Sodblog.com, has lost his wife. They weren’t even married for a week. I’m not sure how to feel right now. All I know is that I want to go to my wife’s office, give her a hug and tell her how much I love her. We’ve been together for seven years and I can’t imagine losing her. I don’t even know what to say to...

Pearl Jam Debuts ‘Fixer,’ Reveals Track List →
As a lifelong Pearl Jam fan, I wish I was more excited about this news. But, the truth is, I readily admit that the last time they were relevant and truly creative as a band was in 1998, when they released Yield.
Granted, they still put on a great live show. I’ve seen them five or six times since 1998 and they’ve been top-notch every time. But you always see the crowd get a little...

You cannot imagine how pissed I am that I missed this. So pissed…
One of the cooler things about living here is the weird, random stuff that tends to happen and the way that bands and performers really turn up their game when they get to town because they know that they have to do something impressive to get a good crowd or get noticed. Dave certainly found this out last night. And I,...

Growing Up Nate: Dark Blue Sky
When I was a teenager, one of my favorite things to do when driving home later in the evening was to pull off the highway, turn off the car and lay on the hood, gazing at the stars and endless sky.
I grew up in the country and my high school was 20 miles away from my house, so I found many different ways to take to get from point A to point B, most of them on desolate, straight county roads. So,...
Walter Shapiro: Save that midnight oil
→
To a degree, I’ve lived this. Throughout high school, I rarely studied, slept through a few classes and dicked around, yet still graduated with an A average (or, as Shapiro points out, an A-3). Same in college, where I skated through and didn’t even buy books my senior year. Graduated with a 3.4, in four years.
But the idea doesn’t always hold true. Sure, a lot of life is about...

Someone needs to explain this to me, because I must be an idiot. We have all of these mentions in the media and even by officials that Cheney was involved in all sorts of covert shit, hiding the true nature of what our government was doing from not only we the people, but our representatives in congress, yet we can’t investigate this guy?
And don’t give me that “it’s not a...

This would be a great pick-up for the Blazers. That rough-and-tumble kind of hard working player that hustles after rebounds and gets them second-chance points. While they’re a very talented team, they don’t have any of those kind of guys on their front line.
Oh yeah…Luke, you were right. There, I said it.

Clergy say, "I won't" | Salon News →
Bravo, clergy!
Even though I’m not religious, I applaud a return of the clergy into big picture social influence in ways such as this. Whether I recognize it or not, these people are tastemakers and arbiters of right and wrong for vast swaths of people in our country. They (for the most part) encourage their parishioners to live moral, righteous lives and it’s about time that they...
