Okay, I just gotta get something off of my chest... it's so trendy these days to talk shit on Bush, but ya know what... "Sixteen Stone" is an awesome album... one of the best rock albums ever. I mean, sure, their other efforts never lived up to the greatness of their first, but the band still deserves some respect, dammit!

It seems like most presidents and hopefuls are pretty crappy... it's like you're choosing the one you dislike the least, rather than like the most... but whatever your decision is, at least you have the right to make it, so if you can vote, make sure you do it on Nov. 2. But also make sure it's an educated vote. If you need facts about where the candidates stand, CLICK HERE. The site will tell you where each candidate stands on all of the issues. Heck yeah!

We need help fliering the Good Charlotte/Sum 41 show tomorrow night @ UCI Bren Center in Irvine. If you can help out, please meet US outside the venue anytime after 9:30 and find US to get some fliers to pass out. You can park in their parking structure, but you might have to pay, so just park at In N Out and make the walk. If it's pouring rain, we won't be out there, so stay home and warm, but if it's a clear night, hopefully we'll see ya there! If you're going to the show, freaking rush out at the end and grab some fliers from US and start handin em out... thanks and word to your mother.
