Scraps

Very few things are happening right now, so I thought I would share some of my new favorite websites with y'all. One is www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org. It is the best botany site I have found on the 'net. The botany picture of the day is excellent, and the forums, especially the plant ID questions, are cool. Another place I like to check on from time to time is www.everythingispointless.com, a science and atheism blog. When I am feeling low, I can always find something here to cheer me up. I also want to say that, I don't care what anybody thinks, I like Green Day's cover of Working Class Hero. I have always thought the song was a little whiny and paranoid, but oddly compelling. I think the Green Day drummer does a good job with it. I know it is not cool to like Green Day, but, you know, cool people like me do things that are not cool all the time. It is our little way of letting the world know that we don't care what you think. Which is really cool. That is why leaving all your friends and moving to a place like Starkville, Mississippi is about the coolest thing you can do. Lastly, I have added another item to my List Of Things I Want To Do Before I Die: Scam the Special Olympics into letting me participate. Man, if I could pull that off I would be so proud. I would throw the javelin.
