I've realized that I use parentheses a lot. I think from now on (meaning from this moment forward) I'm (that's me) only going to use them (parentheses, that is) when they're absolutely (positively) necessary (not like this), 'cause they (parenthesized comments, that is, I mean it's not like just inserting a pair of empty parentheses like this: ()) make () the () text () harder () to () read ('cause it breaks up the flow of the thought by interjecting new thoughts)(but the empty parentheses didn't really make it any harder at all, now did they? It was just the parenthesized statements), don't you think (as if you really think. Haha, it is to laugh (chuckle (chortle (cackle))))?

Ow, that made my brain hurt. I've been trying to cut back on using parentheses, but it's tough (you know what I mean). And they lead to fun stuff like this:
Hey look! I'm a Sigur Ros album! ()
Dunno whether you'd get the reference (knowing our disparate (contrasting) tastes in music), but it was funny at the time.

Man, I know know you're like a walking music/movie/television reference library, but seriously, who is Sigur Ros? I think you're making it up...

It's a really odd band from either Iceland or Scandanavia. The lead singer sings in a language he made up. But it is for real. Sincerely.

Hah! They really do have an album named ()! That's funny.
I could only get 30 second clips off the Tower Records site, but their music is definitely... melodious. I'm not sure what else it is, but it's melodious.
