yeah.

i blogged a while back about things i don't understand. one thing i left off the list was "the hills". it's a "sort of" reality show about filthy rich kids, on MTV. it's been on for a few years and some girls from the show have become famous, for being rich and on tv. the show is controversial because it's billed as a reality show, but viewers have found discrepencies, and it seems as though producers sometimes manipulate the cast into storylines. basically, it ain't real.


i bring this up because i am reminded of "the hills" while watching the democratic national convention. politics in general these days, seems very scripted. mccain is on conan trying to make funny. (note to mccain, fire your comedy writer.) they all do this, no matter what party, and it seems fake. i caught some of the convention coverage on the drive in this morning, and hilary's "no way. no how. no mccain." was being played over & over. now really? is that the best a team of high paid speech writers can come up with? i know we need slogans...but this is up there with, "where's the beef? where's the mccain???"


ok, rant is over. i need to upload more old marching band photos! speaking of that. here's a website with 50 years of north high band photos. amazing!!! and i'll add a photo to this post that i've been meaning to use for weeks now. enjoy!
