Slight Headache today (Back of the head), and my sinuses feel bad...

Am working on a CD for a friend..putting together songs that are faves of mine..so, am going through all the songs I have..looking at titles is weird, as some I havent' even thougth of in years..case in point, the one I'm listening to now "Where the Streets have no name", by U2...this song can cause "weird" tears...all because of its placement in a movie...

For SOME reason, if I remember a song from a movie, then I can play that scene back in my head...and, the movie I associate with that song is the movie "Fearless", which keys me emotional for a few other reasons in the first place...I ought to watch it in the near future, to see if the reaction is different now, years later...*shrug* Then again, this little project has been fun...Hell, I listened to Heart a little while ago, and that was weird..all sorts of music I haven't listened to, that it has been fun listening to again...hmmm...

Tonite should be fun...sleep, early, or I can't complain about feeling tired...and, tomorrow is payday..such a good day.

Feel like I need to rant...to update my weblog with the BS that's in the news, but then another part of my brain tells me "Why bother?" What changes? Nothing I post on a LJ or Weblog affects, or probably even reaches, more than a dozen people, at the MOST. People with better opinions, or better ways of expressing them, are already screaming bloody murder about what is wrong with the world, or the government, and yet nothing changes...things stay the same as they almost always are...The only thing that ever really seems to change are the names.

Before I go off swearing and screaming, I'll try to put this into a coherent thought, and post it on my weblog (Where I go to scream bloody murder anyways). It just feels...wasted.

More often than not, nothing does. Saying that you think Dubya's wrong for continuing the war in Iraq won't make him quit; bitching about rampant conspicuous consumerism and general stupidity and rudeness of the American public won't make them smarter, nicer, or spend less.

But does getting the thought out make you feel better? If it does, then there's no reason to keep it in.

Yeah, well, we're a big country -- your opinion is just one person's opinion. But talking about it can help the mysterious tides of public opinion. Saying nothing and/or not voting is just letting the other side win.

Then again, if ranting is upsetting you, take a break. Depending on how upset I get, I tend to take long breaks from the news.
