Pearl Harbor sucks, and I miss you

Music: The Wallflowers - I'm Looking Through You (Beatles cover)

So today I'm up front and I see that Perkins has their flag at half-mast. Hmm. I ask someone up front why this is. She says, "Maybe one of our soldiers in our district was killed overseas?" Which is very possible. So I shrugged in agreement and wandered off, completely satisfied with this answer, and forgot about it until I came home from work and talked to my friend Peat.

Turns out today is December 7th. I know this may not have a lot of meaning to you. Well, maybe it does if you remember your American History, unlike myself (hey, I got a D in it, what do you expect??). Today is the anniversary of the attack at Pearl Harbor. Now, maybe if they'd re-released that crappy movie or something, I would have remembered. But nope. Completely oblivious.

But my screen name on MSN, which I've had for a week now, tyvm, is "Pearl Harbor sucks, and I miss you," in honor of Team America, World Police, quite possibly the most retardedly funny movie out now. How appropriate, right? Perhaps inappropriate is the word I'm looking for. Who knows.

Don't beat yourself up over it. These things happen from time to time. I hope you stop feeling annoyed and start feeling happy. Woo Hoo! Did I convince you?

Song of the Day: Keith Urban-"Who wouldn't want to be me?" In honor of the fact that I have two tickets for his SOLD-OUT show on Saturday. Yee-Haw! :-)
