Love is A Battlefield...

Quote of the Day: "I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you." -?

Play that funky 80's music...
OMG.  This day has been heinous.  Back to back to back meetings all freaking day.  Good thing I wrote down the blog topics I thought of on the way to work or there would be NOTHING!!!
Is there a way to listen to Love is a Battlefield on the radio in the car without singing along in the most dramatic fashion possible?  I didn't think so.  I hope that guy who say me didn't crash...

Filter...
What happened to this band?  How does a band rock my socks off with Hey Man, Nice Shot only to turn around and vomit Photograph at me?  Seriously, how do you start out being a hard rock band with the Short Bus album only to turn around and become a weak Oasis wanna be band with Title of Record?  Talk about musical bipolar disorder.  I bring this up because I heard Hey Man, Nice Shot on the radio this morning and 15 years later I still friggin love that song.  It also happens to be on my DROID play list.

Since we are on the subject of music...
Few things:
1. One Tree Hill - Yes, I watch it.  Yes, I love it.  But I love each episode's music the most.  The CW has a way of doing magical things with soundtrack on all their shows but One Tree Hill is the best.  Maybe it's because they crank it over the actual dialogue. 
2. Shazam - Ugh.  I like the concept of this app but when I tried to use it this morning, it wouldn't work.  That made it sort of pointless to me. 
3.  Daughtry - Is it me or does every band sound like Daughtry?  Or maybe it's that Daughtry sounds like every band?  Like there was this song on this morning (the one I tried to use Shazam on my phone to identify) and I was like "Is that Daughtry?" I may have even said it out loud to myself because I do that. Often.  Anyway, then I was like "no, maybe it's not but sure sounds like him".  Then I realized that everyone sounds the same these days.  I later (2 minutes ago) found out that it was actually a band called Theory of a Deadman.  A band that based on the Wikipedia entry I just looked at looks like a bunch of douchebags.  Actually, the lead singer looks like an even douchier version of Chris Daughtry (is that even possible?!?!?!) with hair.  And they sing like the exact opposite songs.  Like Daughtry sings all about wanting to be with the girl and love and shit.  Theory of a Bunch of Douchebags are all about "you suck, ex-girlfriend, and my life is all about being done with your dumb ass".  Except both bands' songs sound exactly the same with the only difference being the word "not" in the lyrics.  Like one will say "girl we are meant to be" and the other will say "girl we are NOT meant to be".  It's hysterical.  I wouldn't even pirate this shatner.

Friggin' Developers...
OMG, my developers are making me nuts today.  Like I care how they will read a friggin EBCDIC file into a java process and mask credit card numbers or the difficulties presented.  Just effing do it!  That's their friggin job!  My job is to say "Developers, we need to read these EBCIDIC files on this server and mask the credit card numbers before FTPing them on their way to the down stream system."  Hmmm. Jenn's job? DONE.  Now do yours!!! UGH!!!
I need to go run.
