When It's So Dark, I Can See The Light Shining Through You...

Said The Whale - The Light Is You

I love Said The Whale. And this song is only 2:00 long, so you have no excuse to not listen to it.


So I don't think I approve of Michael Phelps being suspended. It's not that I'm his biggest fan. It's more that this is just stupid. One, it was at a party. It's not like he was out in public getting high. Two, it was in November. He wasn't in training. Three, it's just a picture. He just got unlucky, and was partying with people that he didn't know personally, but that (obviously) knew who he was, and took pictures of him. And that just sucks.

Granted, he's an idiot. If he's going to be smoke at a party where there's people that he doesn't know, at least smoke a blunt or out of a hookah, so he can lie and say it's a rolled cigarette or that he's just smoking tobacco out of the hookah. It's harder to lie about a bong.

And saying that it's because of "the hundreds of thousands of USA Swimming-member kids who look up to him as a role model and a hero" is a stupid argument. If Michael Phelps is actually these kids' hero, they're not going to suddenly turn their back on him for smoking pot. That's ridiculous. And if anything, suspending him, and making it seem worse is only going to make them think even less of him.


Anyhoo. I need you to tell me if this is weird, slash if it ever happens to you. So I had a dream where one of my friends stole an extension cord from me. I saw her in class today, and I was kind of pissed at her. I couldn't help it. Dream Her stole my extension cord! How did she expect me to plug things in?!

I don't care if it wasn't actually her, and it was just my subconscious being crazy. I blame her.
