Alexander Hamilton

I feel sorry for the 10 dollar bill. Nobody ever uses it. I mean, people use it, but it’s always the rarest of the “main” bills (1, 5, 10, 20). When I used to work one of the registers at a museum, we’d always be short on 10 dollar bills. I still sort of feel like 10 dollar bills are special when I get them.

And it’s not just that, but the poor 10 dollar bill is represented by my favorite Founding Father, Alexander Hamilton. That guy was awesome. He laid the groundwork for our entire Treasury Department. He wrote a large amount of the Federalist Papers and probably could have run for president at one point if he had not been killed in a duel with Aaron Burr.

Which brings to mind another awesome thing about Alexander Hamilton, his “appearance” in a great Got Milk ad:

I always remember this commercial, because when it first aired I actually knew the answer already. Go History! Also, Michael Bay directed it.

The point of this all is:
Cherish your 10 dollar bills.

    Testing out some of the new functionality, including YouTube.

    Let’s test out a few different issues.

    1) YouTube problems when I edit and post.

    Fiest Bowl Victory: Boise State vs. Oklahoma

    Possibly the greatest college football game I’ve ever seen (not involving USC), and all the touchdowns scored in the last 5 minutes of gameplay were superb. FOOTBALL!!

    2) When I take too long writing a post, it doesn’t post. I think this is fixed, hurray!

    Let’s see if these are fixed.

    Corny one-liners does not make a show garbage. David Caruso and stupid over-hyped action plots make a show garbage.

    But then again, one-liners help out a lot too:

    It annoys the hell out of me that this is the #1 show in the world. I can only guess it has to do with the world’s love of Baywatch and making fun of America.

    I have this song stuck in my head:

    There are places I remember
    All my life, though some have changed
    Some forever not for better
    Some have gone and some remain
    All these places had their moments
    With lovers and friends
    I still can recall
    Some are dead and some are living
    In my life I’ve loved them all

    But of all these friends and lovers
    there is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I’ll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I’ll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more

    Though I know I’ll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I’ll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more
    In my life I love you more

    I can see it while I’m eating food.  I see you, Mr. Upper Lip Hair!  You cannot hide from my piercing gaze.

    Stubble is starting to get annoying though, but I can’t shave it till I have the full stache, otherwise I’ll just look like a sleazy pedophile (well, more than usual).
