Joey Ramone lived in one of these. Seriously, the intersection you see at the very left of the picture is Joey Ramone Place. Now guess which of these nondescript buildings housed the god of punk?
In other news, the Mumbai gunman Qasab (a Pakistani) was sentenced to death today, with cheering mobs outside his prison cell courtroom. As horrible as his attack on Mumbai was (174 gunned down in hotels, railroad stations, restaurant and a Jewish center in 2008), you can't help but wonder if this is the best solution to it all. To kill him simply satiate the mob thirst for blood... what he did was horrible, but now to people of his cause, he's probably a martyr. The world doesn't need that.
In the same vein, the guy who tried unsuccessfully to detonate a car bomb in Times Square was caught yesterday on a plane to Dubai. He confessed... and kept on confessing even after hearing his Miranda Rights. Um, ok. He's aiming for martyrdom too, apparently, though I doubt he will achieve that... New York City will probably just throw his ass into prison... or at least they will if they have any good sense.
All right, that has nothing to do with my life, but those things have been on my mind... OH! I decided what I want to do with the rest of my life... I think. It involves a Economics Ph.D. Darn. Those are hard to come by... if I work REALLY really hard, I think I might have a chance... What I need to do is study...
...and what I need to study right now is Organic Chemistry...
Oh, and the Fischer Esterification? That's this lovely mess:
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Oh oh oh
I want you baby, but you always lie
Always complaining or contemplating suicide
I want you baby but you don't even try
Always complaining said a bye baby bye bye bye
