...cause they don't have any feelings..." Very, very easy. I expect everyone to know this.
I finally got back from New York, but I got pretty sick while I was there (like I do a lot of times), and I'm home from school today. I'm supposed to be reading at doing Math for school, but I figured I'd write a blog real quick.
In New York, I grabbed a DVD of Nirvana's MTV Unplugged performance. It's amazing. Better than the other Nirvana DVD I have by far. The acoustic performances are perfect. Esdpecially songs from "In Utero" stand out above the rest and are nothing short of amazing. If you need any proof, here you go:

Nirvana: Unplugged in New York
The band has never sounded so harmonious. "Unplugged" is music from beyond Earth, obviously something that would have been made by Kurt Cobain himself after his death (if of course, that were possible). From the opening "About A Girl" to the closing "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" nothing fails to be less than perfect. Songs like "Dumb", "All Apologies", "The Man Who Sold the World", "About a Girl", and "Pennyroyal Tea" chill your soulas you witness the most wholesome any band as heavy as Nirvana ever was.
Score: 10/10
I finally saw Iron Man the other day. It was one of the best superhero movies I've ever seen. I decided to just review it now.
Iron Man
I'm not one who loves his superhero movies. The only superhero movie I remember enjoying in the past 5 years was "Batman Begins". "Superman Returns" was the only other half decent superhero movie I've seen for a long time. However, I couldn't help loving this movie. I fell in love with the ****c comic book hero as he trounced his former business partner. Amazing action that was supported by an equally great plot added up to one hell of a movie. Possibly the single best part, even more so than the action was Robert Downey Jr.'s performance. He took his leading role, and made it his to perform. Nobody could have ever fit the part as well. I'm eager to see this movie, which so far earns the spot as my favorite movie of the year so far.
Score: 9.5/10
Me being me, I have to include something about the 2008 Presidential Election. It's becoming clear that Obama will be the Democratic presidential nominee. However, it is also obvious that Clinton would have defeated McCain by a larger margin. Obama > McCain > Clinton in my opinion, but I think that we're in good hands with whoever wins. Realclearpolitics.com has begun doing an electoral vote count, and here it is.
(Obama v. McCain) http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/?map=10
(Clinton v. McCain) http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/clinton_vs_mccain/?map=14
These two counts are determined including toss-up states, meaning states that go back and forth between democrats and republicans, or states where the polls are so close, and are sometimes determined by past party wins in the general election. Here are electoral college counts where the toss-ups are not included.
(Obama v. McCain, no toss-ups) http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/obama_vs_mccain/
(Clinton v. McCain, no toss-ups) http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/maps/clinton_vs_mccain/
Although some people have doubts about it, I think the democrats can say with certainty that they will hold office next year. However, we can't be completely certain. McCain could win the elecition, it just seems more aligned for the other candidates.
I don't have much else to talk about, so I'll leave you with a few more videos.
