These guys came out with a new CD yesterday. Corinne and I have been discussing them for awhile and I've realized that they are by far one of the best bands I've ever experienced in my twenty-one years.
However you manage to accumulate music make sure to pick up their CD, Narrow Stairs. This is one of those bands that cannot write bad songs.

Please Check this Out
Kevin Sites is a journalist for Yahoo! and he visited our school last night for an interactive discussion/lecture. He is the future of journalism as he embarks on "solo journalism" - just him, a video camera, a laptop, and a still camera.
He is known for two big achievements. Back in 2004, he was the one who taped an American marine shooting an injured Iraqi in a mosque. He talked about the moral implications of releasing the tape and how much it affected him. You can view a video about the shooting here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=o4j50ghDeKA
The other thing he is known for is his Kevin Sites in the Hot Zone project. He visited 20 wars in 1 year. Going east to west he visited sites like the Congo, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and Myanmar. You can see his videos, read blog entires, and view pictures here: http://hotzone.yahoo.com.
He is the man's man of journalism.

The Good Life
Life is good.
Tennis is my new late afternoon hobby.
Greg recommended this book called 'Nickel and Dimed' and I finished it up last week. A writer does some investigative journalism and tries to work low-wage jobs and see if she can get by (rent, food, etc.). It really opens up your eyes to a different class of people and living. I was talking to a friend last week and he was saying that government shouldn't help out everyone and that people need to create a life for themselves. I think that's a very easy statement coming from a white male in Naperville. This book shows that that's not always possible as a lot of people are working 7 days a week and living in motels because they can't afford to pay a down payment on an apartment.
