the indie lumberjack.

Fifteen minutes prior to the “highlight of my day” I split my head open on the hook in my trunk, as in, I drew blood. So after I made sure I was done bleeding and washed the blood out of my hair, I went to pick up Ollie.

DRIVING DRIVING DRIVING

So I’m driving down the road on my way to get him and “Violet Hill” by Coldplay came on the radio. Now, I have a strange relationship with Coldplay because I used to hate them a few years ago because I thought Chris Martin(the lead singer) was a goof-ball who knew nothing about writing love songs. I have to come to a point in my life where I am willing to admit that I was wrong and that he does, in fact, know how to write an effective and moving love song.

The members in Coldplay, it seems, are pretty intelligent guys and I’m starting to quite enjoy their music, but hearing their song this morning wasn’t the highlight of my day. The highlight of my day was when I was sitting in my car waiting for school to start.

Here is the story: I was listening to 96x, the local Alternative station, as I do every morning, and there was a caller to the usual morning show, Mancow’s Morning Madhouse. The caller in question, in my opinion, is the Pro-Choice Argument on Abortion because he really was a total moron and Mr. Muller obviously agreed because he started laughing at the guy and hungup the phone.

The caller is part of a group called VHEMT or the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. They are apparently peaceful in their motives and call for the voluntary extinction of the human race because they believe the planet would be better off without humans, so we should all stop breeding.

But isn’t breeding, in essence, our purpose here on Earth? I mean, we’re here to make more of us until there is inadequate space to meet the needs of the masses and to then (AND ONLY THEN MR. BUSH), end the world in a devastating nuclear holocaust. But only after Jesus triumphantly returns and says, “Yo. Let’s go to Heaven my Christian homies.” Note: I figured “Jesus speak” should remain in red. :End note.

Let’s get this straight though. They really expect people to stop breeding, as in, they really believe in all the things they say. Their leader, Les U. Knight (Which has to be a joke because his name sounds coincidentally like “Let’s Unite”) said in an interview that “as long as there’s one breeding pair of homo sapiens, there’s too great a threat to the biosphere.”

Really Mr. Knight? One pair is too great a threat? Really? I think you, Mr. Knight, are too great a threat to the biosphere. And that ladies and gentlemen, is what really grinds my gears.
