Last year I kept a running tally of books read in 2009.
I have decided to do the same for 2010...

J.D. Salinger
January 1, 1919 – January 27, 2010
"It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so--I don't know--not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid, necessarily. But just so tiny and meaningless--and sad-making. And the worst part is, if you go bohemian or something crazy like that, you're conforming just as much as everybody else, only in a different way." -J.D. Salinger, Franny&Zooey
J.D. Salinger died today. He is one of my favorite authors and it is sad to know the world has lost another great. Many people hate his books because they think he is pretentious and pessimistic, but I think he speaks the truth. :) He will be missed.01 January 2010 @ 10:14 pm
I have decided to keep a running tally of books that I read in 2009 (not including text books).

"Somewhere in Des Moines or San Antonio there is a young gay person who all the sudden realizes that he or she is gay; knows that if their parents find out they will be tossed out of the house, their classmates will taunt the child, and the Anita Bryant's and John Briggs' are doing their part on TV. And that child has several options: staying in the closet, and suicide. And then one day that child might open the paper that says "Homosexual elected in San Francisco" and there are two new options: the option is to go to California, or stay in San Antonio and fight. Two days after I was elected I got a phone call and the voice was quite young. It was from Altoona, Pennsylvania. And the person said "Thanks". And you've got to elect gay people, so that thousand upon thousands like that child know that there is hope for a better world; there is hope for a better tomorrow. Without hope, not only gays, but those who are blacks, the Asians, the disabled, the seniors, the us's: without hope the us's give up. I know that you can't live on hope alone, but without it, life is not worth living. And you, and you, and you, and you have got to give them hope."
-Harvey Milk, 1978

I hate Hallmark bullshit on Valentines, and I never cry over stupid movies like the Notebook, but this video has made me cry each time I've watched it. If you want to see true love and commitment, watch this:
Then when you're done, go HERE to show your support for the hundreds of people in California who just want to be with the person they love.

The Fray Sucks. There are MANY other bands that claim Denver as their home that bring me much much pride. But not the damn Fray. Following is a list of bands/artists that I am proud to claim...
Flobots
Paper Bird
3Oh!3
Black Black Ocean
Devotchka
Ian Cooke
Fear Before
Speakeasy, Tiger
Hot IQ's
John Freakin' Denver
PLUS Bob Dylan lived and recorded an album in Denver.
Denver is way better than The Fray.
You best remember that.
