Busy busy randomocity

I'm taking a bit of a break from working on a project, watching football. Man, am I tired!

You'd think sitting at a computer and typing for a couple of hours wouldn't be all that big of a deal, wouldn't you? But it wears me out.

And my Saturday is almost gone, too. Before I know it, it's almost night.

I had a bit of a heartening thought, earlier--that the younger generation will have the Internet, and have access to a world populated with people of all sorts of nationalities, religions, sexual orientations, political persuasions, whatever. So, while intolerance and prejudice will always exist, over the next few years they shouldn't be quite as prevalent. It is to be hoped.

Of course, that's working on the theory that exposure to other cultures will encourage people to form attachments--even friendships--with people outside of the sort of people they encounter in their physical locations. Maybe not. Many times it seems people seem to hate those who belong to different religions, nationalities, or whatever, who live in close proximity to them. Look at Nazi Germany, for an example.

Okay, I just depressed myself again. I guess I need to stop that.

I'm starting to have some musical ideas. Two problems with doing something about them, though:

• I've got too many prose projects on my plate right now
• I need a female lead singer.

I'm actually looking for a specific kind of female vocalist. Think Melissa Etheridge--that sort of thing. It'll be really hard to find somebody like that, I think, because most women who can sing like that probably already have jobs. Still, if I can find one who is willing to work with me, I think we can come up with some good stuff.

Anyways, that and watching football are my weekend. Which is a good thing, to me.
