our second chance society

Self righteousness is rearing it's ugly head once again...and this time on a national-level with the signing of Michael Vick to the Philadelphia Eagles. As anyone one who knows me knows, I love dogs just as much (if not more) than the next person. I think it's a despicable and borderline evil thing Michael Vick did to those defenseless animals and I believe he was fit with a fair punishment accordingly. But I don't think what Mr. Vick did was so wrong, so despicable, so evil a thing to take away his livelihood. People get second chances all the time...that is one of the key principles of our country. Letting people have another go at things, with a clean slate. These people who are getting vocal about Vick signing with the Eagles are probably, for the most part, attention mongers who would get vocal about anything that would give them a stage to be vocal on. I'm so tired of these holier-than-thou types, that think they are better than us. They think that they know all of the answers and that the rest of us are ignorant fools.

Tonight, you can find ALL of Utah County's swingers in on place...the Scera Shell

Oh man, not that type of swinger you freaks...Details Below:

SCERA Shell

That's right the big band that blew up during swing's reemergence in the mid-90s will be performing here tonight. This should be a wild, energetic show with loads of local ballroom dancers doing the three moves they know over and over again out in the general admission grass...you know who you are ;)

About the Song du Jour: "Halo" Beyonce

The other day this song came on and I only half noticed it. After about three minutes, I really wanted to go over to my brother-in laws and play some 360--mostly the alien destroying game that the song's title shares a name with. Not too weird for most young men, like myself, it's a very popular game among our demographic...but I can't stand it. See, I think this song is some sort of subliminal ad to get the rest of us (and women) to become indoctrinated into the obsession millions of dorks are already taken by. Damn you Beyonce!!!! Truth be told, it's a beautiful song...and I really like it but I can no longer listen to it. I will not give in to you Halo.

Wow...a lot of ranting from me today...and probably more tomorrow! Much love UC...
