I learned my best friend is horribly broken up over his father's death when he called me in the wee hours crying. I believe he has realised the loss of his father more now than he had the morning he had passed away a few days ago. I also realise how much he really needs me there to be with him. But I am unable due to medical problems at the moment. I feel so helpless and awful about it all. I need to find a better doctor so I am never left in this condition again.

It's not just The Kinks that I enjoy. It's all of the music of the British Invasion era.

I learned that my great uncle was charged with involuntary manslaughter for killing his wife. According to my mother, it was just a brain aneurysm, but while I have a newspaper article from before he was charged and from during the trial, I have none for the verdict or after the trial, and the newspaper is shut down, so I don't know if I could get records.

I learned that the girl behind me in this computer lab doesn't want to see penguins having sex. The thought of that never even occurred to me... :? :lol:

While looking over my collection of movies in iTunes, I learned that the movies Sleepy Hollow and Edward Scissorhands run for almost exactly the same time, and so do Sweeney Todd and What's Eating Gilbert Grape.

I have learned that my cover of Clocks by Coldplay on Youtube doesn't have any comments. I uploaded it last week, but the strange thing is that my other videos had comments almost 5 minutes after I uploaded them. My channel can be viewed here. http://www.youtube.com/user/NightHawk877
