Through these fields of destruction, baptisms of fire, I witnessed your suffering, as the battle raged higher. And though they did hurt me so bad, in the fear and alarm, you did not desert me, my brothers in arms. -- Dire Straights, Brothers in Arms

You an I Under the Stars Tonight
Specifically

Or is yours that kind of arrogant faith that says, “Everyone else must be a complete idiot not to have faith and believe what I believe.” I hope not, because you seem so nice. Plus, I probably don’t believe what you believe, so now I’m stupid and how are we going to have a decent conversation once that’s established?

and

Are you a kind of arrogant, angry, “only idiots believe in God” sort of person? I hope not. Because if you are, then I’m stupid, and how are we going to have a conversation now that my stupidity is out on the table for everyone to see.

And why is it that whenever an athiest finds out that I’m a person of faith, they assume I’m the former, and whenever I find out that someone’s an atheist, I assume they’re the latter?
And why are they wrong way more often than I am? (I mean, other than the Fundamental Attribution Error).

Suck it, RIAA

For Leah:
When you’ve got a favorite song,
You must rip it
Before Blu-Ray comes along
You must rip it
The RIAA is wrong,
You can rip it
Now rip it
Off that tape
Pick a high
Bit rate
Save to disk
As MP3
You already bought it
Don’t pay a fee
To rip it
Rip it good
Your tapes are wearing out
You must rip it
A new hit song just came out
You must rip it
Your iPod will not play
Until you rip it
I say rip it
Rip it good
I say rip it
Rip it good
Start that rip
Give DRM the slip
Rip another track
Pariser’s smoking crack
When a CD comes along
You must rip it
Or a new movie from Hong Kong
You must rip it
AACS won’t last that long
If you rip it
Now rip it
To DVD
Watch it on
HDTV
Take it with you
On SD
In your car
On MP3
Just rip it
Stay up late
Making your own
Mix tape
Go store it
All for free
On a hard drive
Or USB
Just rip it
Rip it good
