Why do kids do the things they do? I'm trying to remember the things I did as a child that made no sense to my parents and made them crazy, but made sense to me. What was going through my head? It's easy to remember stand out stupid things, but the thought process is lost. I think raising kids would be easier if we could remember what it was like to think as a child. And who the hell thought up tickling? I want to beat them with a stick. This is just a new way that my daughter has found to torture her brother, and just a new thing that he can scream and whine about. I'm thinking of forcing myself deaf. I'll just stand in front of a large speaker blasting System of a Down or something loud like that. How long do you think that would take? Not totally deaf, just severe ear drum damage, that's all I'm asking for. Some peace would be great.

Listen to Rilo Kiley "More Adventurous". Specifically these songs: 1,3,6,8,9,10. And if you can find their set from Bonnaroo this year, it was the best show I saw all weekend. Good times. Peace out.
