If I can remember
To know this will conquer me
If I can just walk alone
And try to escape into me
--Disturbed

I am really digging this band. Normally, the second album is do-or-die, the dreaded sophomore slump. For Disturbed, "Believe" is not only as good as "Down with the Sickness", it has matured amazingly. The lead singer says he wants the band to be the heavy metal U2. They're loud, driving, pounding, but I think they can pull it off. Maybe not to the superstar level, but lyrically I think they're there.

Holy OPEC, batman!

I just paid $1.53/gallon for regular unleaded, and I know Atlanta has some of the lowest priced gasoline in the country. What the hell are the rest of you paying?

Actually, I am really curious. What do y'all pay for gasoline/petrol? Here is a currency converter if you're outside the US.

(for the metrically inclined, 1 US Gallon = 3.79 liters, that works out to around US$0.40/liter)

Between Iraq and Venezuela, I think we're going to have to go back to horses. At least grass is relatively inexpensive.
