I will just get into the mash-ups because I have some other stuff to talk about.

This one takes a Lil Wayne song and mashes it up with some Van Halen.  Honestly, I don't listen to enough Lil Wayne to know what the song is called but I like the Van Halen part.

This mash-up has been pretty famous.  It is called Boulevard of Broken Songs and contains elements of Green Day mashed with Oasis.  I think the Green Day song is Boulevard of Broken Souls or something like that and the Oasis song is Wonderwall.  I normally wouldn't consider this one a mash-up but since Oasis broke up for the 537th time, I had to include.  Why isn't it a mash-up?  Well the Green Day album, American Idiot, is basically a mash-up itself.  You can spot elements of so many songs in their "rock opera".  There is one song on there that is "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash.

I enjoy this one.  It is a song by Christiana Millian called "Tell Me" (not 100% sure) and is mashed-up with Papa Roach's "Last Resort".  "Last Resort" has received numerous mashing treatments.

OK my other segment:
In June of 1876, General George Armstrong Custer was ordered move the Sioux indians to their reservations.  A new piece of technology was available it was called the Gatling Gun.  Custer refused to use the new technology because it would hamper his mobility and delay his march and besides that he as ordered to take a "small Sioux village".  Custer took 250 doomed members of the 7th Calvary to the banks of the Little Bighorn River where they met a massive resistance.  Custer and his troops became human pin-cushions for the Sioux's arrows.  It makes you wonder what was going through Custer's mind as the arrows flew by and he saw all of his troops dead..."Damn, I sure could use a Gatling right about now."  So Custer didn't follow one of the greatest rules in military tactics: if a new weapon is available, use it.  That being, there is a new technology that has sky-rocketed and I have become a part of that community.  Yes, I broke down, not giving into my inner vanity like Custer, and created a Twitter account.  Yes, I created it after reading about the NBA players that were ordered to shut down their sites because they were promoting gang messages.  Yes, I created it after reading about Michael Beasley and how he posted suicidal notes.  Yes, I created after reading how many children are fans of porn stars.  Twitter is a great piece of technology and it can help me fight the battle of....um...well...I guess as Ben Folds so eloquently put it...the battle of who could care less.  I probably will not be mobile posting but just random stuff like I do here on Xanga with the pulse.  If you have Twitter, let me know and we can talk about Xanga and asundry of other topics...maybe more of my thoughts on General Custer.  And because I am in a Paul Harvey mood...Now you know the rest of the story...when there really wasn't a story here.
