last night, i discovered podcasts. even better, they're free. i know, im way behind in the world of technology. nevertheless, im pumped. its like continual talk radio, but only on the things i want to hear.

im a little embarassed to admit it, but it makes feel a little bit cooler. kind of like i should be wearing thick, black-rimmed glasses drinking a non-fat latte and carrying a MacBook. granted, i'd kill to be carrying a MacBook (and drinking a latte while wearing black glasses) - but i'm not.

i secretly have an obsession with wanting to be a hippie. i want to live green and care about the environment and have a million bumper stickers on the back of my car. however, that's totally against everything that i am. so - i'll stick with being a politically incorrect conservative who listens to talk radio via podcast downloads on my old-school iPod. thats me.
