Oh man, do I have a treat for you guys today.

I know I know, most of the stuff I give you I didn't make, and I just found somewhere, but hey, for now think of me as a place to visit and find fun and interesting new things. Eventually I will probably start making some stuff of my own and throwing you links to that too. probably start with flash, but right now I have enough stuff in my life to work out so I am giving you this instead.

first is a fun little page that will tell you a bit about what you are listening to
it is called LivePlasma

it is a nifty little site where you type in an artist and it gives you graphical representation of that band and the bands that are similar and have certain relationships. A theusaurus for music, most excellent.

The next is something I am currently enjoying a LOT. It is called Pandora Dynamic Internet Radio, or Pandora for short. While perhaps not living up to its namesake, it is certainly a lot of fun. It is similar to live plasma, except it creates a radio station based on the artist you input. It adds songs of similar artists to the play list, and you can rate them as closer or farther from what you were looking for.

you can find that here: PANDORA!

And here is my first, and so far favorite, radio station creation on Pandora, in case you were interested.

Hungry Lucy Station
I have discovered I am not capable of being witty all the time.

This has been a most disappointing discovery, but one I am going to try to cope with.

I know I haven't been updating very often, but I guess I just don't feel passionately on a lot of issues.

I have begun to see why people believe indifference to be the greatest of evils, for indifference seems to be what allows evil to exist. That may just be me being optimistic though.

Even so, I take privacy very seriously, I know the government watches me, northeastern monitors me, and google probably shuffles through everythign of mine on their servers, but at least I try to make it harder, and stick with people that are less likely to go through my things.

of late I have been in deep thought over one of the few things I am truly passionate about. for the longest time I believed I would lay down my life for a friend (friend used in this sense as someone I really care about deeply, not just a co-worker I get along with etc.). I still believe this is true, but I am beginning to wonder if I need to be a more seperate entity.

all in all I am not sure what is worth being passionate about, I am even skeptical of the saying "it doesn't matter what you are passionate about as long as you are passionate about something". I am beginning to wonder why, and why not. It is hard wondering about BOTH sides of an argument.

oh well, more thoughts to come.
