(Who’s watching) (Tell me who’s watching) (Who’s watching me) I’m just an average man with an average life I work from nine to five, hey hell, I pay the price All I want is to be left alone in my average home But why do I always feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone, and
Smallville is the best dramatic adaptation of a comic book to ever appear on TV. Don’t hate, appreciate. Just started watching it again a few weeks ago after missing the latter half of the first season and the first half of this season and what they’ve managed to develop over that time makes for one
What Famous literary Work Are You? brought to you by Quizilla You are The Sound and The Fury by William Faulkner. Confusing, complicated, but interesting after you’ve been deciphered.

I think I have officially crossed the line and become completely jaded about poetry slam. I’ve never been so bored at an event as I was at last night’s Urbana Finals. Not that it was a terrible show, mind you. It just didn’t have the energy of a FINALS! The host, John S. Hall, sucked
My goodness, these things are addictive! What movie quote are YOU? brought to you by Quizilla
America is stupid. At least the ones that watch American Idol and take the time to vote. I mean, really, what the fuck was THAT last night?!?! Ruben in the bottom two?
