can you believe it is 2005?

wow. the world is flying by. im 20 now. 20!! crazy. i was looking at my AWESOME white stripes CD and it was copy right 2005. and that got me to thinking. wow, 2005. Y2K, 5 years ago. anyone else seem like it yesterday. Sept 11 (the attack one), 2001, FOUR YEARS AGO. crazy. what else, anyone rememeber donovin baliley's amazying record breaking 100m dash in the Summer Olympics in Athens? when was that? 1996. 9 years ago. 1996, the year Mission: Impossible came out (and also Mystery Science Theater 3000). only 5 years until 2010. seems like nothing. so that is my reminecing about the past, now we look to the future.
So a while ago i was driving past the shaw building (side note: this in itself is a good story, it looks so funny because there are like 50 cars parked on both sides of the street and they all have a pylon sitting beside them, it is super funny) and i noticed the shaw digital phone signs. this got me to thinking, coming soon is the day that phone lines will be obsolete. It was not 15 years ago that i was on a party line. no phone lines? wierd. but dont worry phones will still be around. they will just come through your cable/internet line, satalite or radio waves. that is right, mobile of modem. Also a coworker figured they should have one card that does everything, your drivers licence, bank card, credit card, safeway club card, student id, hotel key card, etc. personally i dont think that is that far off (if it isnt already here). the world is progressing to "faster" "more convinient" "better" "quicker". why just today i was pondering that bug spray now all comes in arosal cans, they used to often come in pump spray cans. Someone else I know was commenting that computers were supposed to make everything easier and quicker. they really havnt been doing that. sure to some extent they have, but not to the predicted extent. So i ask you this:

Are we really progressing?

We the Jury find the defendent . . . creepy.

dont cut up jalapenoes and then pick your nose

One more baton and i can juggle

Since i havnt been doing a very good job of keeping my blog updated often, a new fad is sweeping the web log world. this is of course the music baton. quite simple, one person answers a coupld simple music-y questions and then they name 5 people who they think should do it and repeat repeat. so since i have received 2 batons i know of, its my turn.

Total volume of music files on my computer: very few on my computer. since i scrubbed my computer a while ago i put all my music on my flash drive. but total music in computerish storage is a bit over a gig. seems like a lot, but pretty pathetic if you look at others.

Last CD i bought was: Get behind me Satan- White Stripes.
Ian's review: love it. all you white stripe fans, get it, its got the white stripe sound but a bit different. all you white haters, give it a try, my girlfriend is a music buff and didnt like the white stripes, but she accually likes this CD.
Ian's review in simple terms: It is the white stripes, only with a keyboard.

Song playing right now: White Stripes-Forever for her (is over for me)

Five songs i listen to alot or mean alot to me: ok, how can you take the world of music and summarize it in 5 songs? i can think of five songs i love right now, but i might be sick of in 2 weeks. so lets see how it goes.

1: Swollen Members-Fuel Injected and Dr. Dre-Forgot about Dre ft. Eminem and Outkast-Ms. Jackson these are 3 of the greatest rap songs of all time, and to only put one would be a shame.
2: POD-Boom. two words, volleyball trips. some of the best times ive had have been on basketball and volleyball trips with the guys. This is a great upbeat song that reminds me of those trips.
3: Simple Plan - Addicted. quite simply, i love it. it catchy, upbeat and whatever. video also good.
4: U2-Sometimes you cant make it on your own. This song is on here because it reminds me of my lovely girlfriend that i love. and what could possibly make a song better.
5: Edwin - Alive. great feel good song. also had it for my graduation so that makes it better too.

Other songs I feel are fantastic and must be shared:

i know im going to miss some but here goes.

Linkin Park (have they made a bad song?) // shout out to Eminem sure he has some crap but amny of his songs are just soo catchy // White stripes // Queen-we will rock you/we are the champians // Air supply- all out of love \ making love out of nothing at all //Hot hot heat-good night // weezer-beverly hills // johny horton-battle of new orleans // Destiny's child-survivor // Kyprios-This is my hit // future leaders of the world-let me out // System of a Down-B.Y.O.B. // Usher-Yeah ft. Lil Jon Luda // Ciara - Oh ft. Luda // Monkees- Daydream beleiver // Korn - Word up // Nappy Roots - Po' folks // Everlast-Broken // P. Ditty - Missing you // The buggles-video killed the radio star // Blur-song 2 // Crash test dummies-superman // Kid Rock-Only God knows why // Bubba Sparxxx-Back in the mud // DMX- X gonna give it to ya // trick daddy-Lets go ft. twista lil jon // ozzy ozborn-crazytrain \ dreamer // The avalanches-frontier psychiatrist // modest mouse-The world's at large // Trik turner-Sacrifice // and finally LIT-im not well (Harvey danger-flagpole sitta')

now who am i passing the baton to? it doesnt really matter, im throwing the 2+ batons up in the air and whoever who wants to catch them can. please comment if you catch it. peace out
Ian
