This was Google’s logo today. When I saw it, the first thing I thought was “Hey! It’s Ben Kingsley’s birthday!”

Gandhi's birthday - of course.

This looks like an ad for Botox instead of "impartial" journalism.

Naturally.

I love the suggested links in GMail, although I also find them a bit terrifying.
I prefer to let singer/songwriters apologize for me.
1) Sorry I Am – Ani DiFranco
See, now that doesn’t seem like a NICE apology. It’s an apology that makes the apologizee hurt just a bit more. Hey, so yeah I’m sorry that I didn’t really ever love you enough, even though you were TOTALLY into me, my bad.
There are TONS of Ani songs about apologies. How many can YOU name?
2) We’re Both So Sorry – Mirah
Here is another one that is not REALLY an apology
So, yeah, I’m sorry and all, but really, you get it, so I’m justifying my actions WITHIN THE APOLOGY. Nice, Mirah! That takes chutzpah.
3) All Apologies – Nirvana
I can’t ignore this one; it would be traitorous to my alternateen soul.
Ok, that’s not nice.
Ok, so that has a hint of sincerity I guess but more hyperbole and Oh (poor) Me ness. Then it says some stuff that must be all poetic cause I don’t get it. This is why I focused on the Pumpkins and not Nirvana.
Speaking of . . .
4) Transformer – The Smashing Pumpkins
Oh, hey, maybe GMail is right about me, cause I don’t know if you noticed, but none of those were really apologies . . .
I guess I just live a clean life free of regrets. 🙂
