While my guitar gently weeps

vovatI guess I'm getting a little better at the guitar, although I'm obviously still not that good. I'm pretty lousy with the chords, especially switching between them. I do hope I'll stick to practicing, though. Maybe I'll never actually be particularly good, but maybe I'll at least play passably someday. I do have to wonder if it's a bit late in my life to be learning, though. Yeah, I'm still young, but it doesn't seem like you hear of very many people learning their first instrument in their late twenties. I mean, Jimi Hendrix died when he was only a year older than I am now. Not that I have any desire to be the next Hendrix, but it just seems like people who play instruments usually start, and possibly even peak, when they're younger than I am now.
AT&T Wireless currently has some deal where they'll let you add an extra line for $10. I want to get a line for myself in July, so I called them and asked whether that promotion would still be in place, and they said they had no idea how long it would last. That's pretty annoying. I wonder what I should do.
And I know I've said this before, but people who take AOL polls seem to be pretty dumb. Over 80% of people polled thought it was a good idea to keep "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. There was some Supreme Court decision on that recently, and they decided that they'd keep it in because those two words aren't promoting any particular religion. I agree, and I don't think those words are a really huge deal, but they still shouldn't be in there. Especially when you consider that Congress put them in there to differentiate us from godless communists. I mean, really, how ridiculous is that?
