Before real content arrives, today's Fabulous Paragraph comes from icayrus, recounting a dream he had Saturday night. I added the italics to my favorite line...

"President Bush, in his almighty wisdom, decided to jump up onto the podium itself to give his speech to try and rouse the crowd. There was a sudden in draw of breath as everyone realized this was what he was doing and he began "At this point in history.." and as the O sound started to escape his mouth from the word history, he lost his balance and fell to the ground. At this point all of the African American children who had been placed around the podium, for the great photos of course, got up and swarmed around the President to make sure he was ok. Suddenly, one of the children went flying up into the air, a la Neo fighting Agent Smith on the playground in the Matrix: Reloaded, and someone screamed out from the congregation "Oh My God, George Bush is hitting Black People" and the swarm of children started flying away from where the President had fallen into the congregation.

And now, some music I've been listening to lately...

A Decade

You know how people sometimes have a dating anniversary, in which they celebrate when they first started dating somebody? Sara and I could never remember when we first "started dating."

A few years after we'd been together, we tried to figure it out, but couldn't. We knew it was sometime in April, so we decided that we'd start it on the first of April and move it a day forward every year, until we hit the end of April, then we'd restart.

Today is April 10th, and I'm happy.
