i was watching the five minute clip of this strangers face waxing and waining and eroding remaining emotionless while his skin and hair reacted to time. my sister was watching it with me. she turned to me and said "why is this making you sad?"

and it wasn't - but i guess i was zoning out and my expression had led to something like concern, angst, or longing.

it was kind of a scene from a zach braff kind of movie - just the way she looked at me and said it. but without getting all philosophical and ish - it did make me sad. i wonder if it makes him sad...

"The Good Land"

Ok. I really like Wisconsin. I really, really do. Madison and Milwaukee. Two great towns. And I'm not just saying that because UW-Madison has been rated the top-party school (only to fall behind this yeare to power player UT Austin) and Milwaukee, home of the Miller Brewery, is called "the drunkest city in the us", Good times. Good times.

6 days until my birthday. HOLLER. Actually I take that bad. NOt ready to be that deep into my twenties. ERNT!

Wayne Campbell: So, do you come to Milwaukee often?
Alice Cooper: Well, I'm a regular visitor here, but Milwaukee has certainly had its share of visitors. The French missionaries and explorers began visiting here in the late 16th century.
Pete: Hey, isn't "Milwaukee" an Indian name?
Alice Cooper: Yes, Pete, it is. In fact, it was originally an Algonquin term meaning "the good land."
Wayne Campbell: I was not aware of that.
Alice Cooper: I think one of the most interesting things about Milwaukee is that it's the only American city to elect three Socialist mayors.
Wayne Campbell: [to the camera] Does this guy know how to party or what?
