randomness

This seems to be turning into a sunday music blog! I've been too lazy to write a half decent post, and haven't gotten blog-worthy questions lately. Roy M., I do think that rice has flavor. Thanks for asking -.-

I don't want this to turn into a sunday music blog, so I'm just going to type and not hit the backspace key for a few minutes. 

College? Nah, I'll talk about that in a later post. That deserves some organization.

I've spent a lot (too much) time looking at cars lately. I love driving, and having a car would be quite convenient for me. I really want a car. In particular, this one:

but not in white

Yes. The 2012 Volkswagen Beetle. It's beautiful. Jon, a Beetle? Seriously?
Seriously. It's not quite the cutesy-little-charming-ball-of-smiles that the previous model was. No, this is different. The 2012 Beetle is more like the sleek, sporty offspring of the classic Beetle and a Porsche 911.

and this

...

= this?

I guess that's how the car stork works. It's the best of the Beetle and the best of the Porsche 911, all in one! The car got a nice performance boost, too, with a 200bhp 2.0l turbocharged 4 cylinder (or 170hp 2.5l inline 5), with VW's DSG dual clutch transmission. DSG would be really cool. Basically, you can set it in automatic mode, or you can manually shift using the stick or a set of paddles behind the steering wheel. And since it engages the gears above and below your current setting, it shifts insanely quickly, in 8ms or something ridiculous like that. So under the hood, the 2012 Beetle is pretty much a VW Golf GTI. But it looks much, much better. Compared with the previous Beetle, it has a sportier drive but still gives off that Beetle vibe. And it still has a classy Beetle interior!
Gah enough about cars.

Also, my "My Heart Will Go On" video has been watched in nearly every country in the world! According to YouTube's Insight thing, it has not been watched in North Korea, Svalbard and Jan Mayen, Burma, Pakistan, Turkmenistan, Zimbabwe, Congo (DRC and Republic), Somalia, Niger, Western Sahara, Burkina Faso, and Eritrea. Cool beans!

I think that's enough for tonight.  My sleep schedule got really messed up this weekend, for reasons I may disclose in a later post. Yes, I think I shall blog about college next time.

this template and my dark guitar picture makes for a super dark combo. Any ideas for a lighter theme?
