So I have to admit that Iraq wasn't what came to mind when I read this headline.
We get a couple thoughtful post from Jesse and Brian here and I thought we should get back to the good old roots of the blogger for just a post.
Jesse, I read that Perkins book and promptly went out and bought the other one. Any more recommendations?
I just picked up this Beastie boys album called "The Mix up". All instrumental. great chill music.
