Sorry for the overdue post, everyone. But there's an explanation! See, what happened was:

I got nothing. Still, though, at least I made before Memorial Day weekend to post this. The following were on my mind between Monday, May 17th and Monday, May 24th:
-Joe West may just be an attention whore umpire, but at least he has a point about these Red Sox-Yankees game being too long and boring to watch.
- If Gilbert Arenas pointed a gun at a teammate over a gambling debt problem, just imagine how he will react to John Wall stealing his starting spot.
- The HBO original movie "The Special Relationship" will mark the second time in four years actor Michael Sheen plays Tony Blair (the first being "The Queen"). So, is he like the obligatory Blair roleplayer now?
- All right, Chicago Blackhawks! Stanley Cup playoffs, and as a longtime fan of the team I am excited! (Note: what's with all these Blackhawks fans hating the bandwagon jumpers? I think they should be happy. After all, isn't a great sign that your team is great again when people who never watched them before are supporting them) By the way, are you loving this Internet trash talking between Flyers fans and Hawks fans as I am? The Eastern Conference hasn't been wrapped up yet (Ed. Note: Yes, I know the Eastern Conference Finals is now officially over. But these are thoughts before Monday night, so I'm just staying true to this) and already there are people from both sides making controversy. Philly sports fans calling the Hawks overrated and Chicago a dump. Chicago sports fans calling the Flyers lucky and Philly a dump. Bloods are boiling, people are taking these seriously...can't wait until the puck drops in game one!
-Why do people refer to films like "Reservoir Dogs" and "The Shawshank Redemption" as cult classics? They're f***** classics!
- Okay, I've never watched "Lost" until the re-airing of the pilot on Saturday and the finale last night. But it seems to me that the reason some people like the ending and why some people didn't was based on how people watched the show throughout its six year span. The ones who liked it seem to be the ones who watched for the storytelling or the characters. The ones who didn't were probably in it for the sci-fi or the plot itself. Is this correct, or am I missing something here?
- May: the most obnoxious month of them all.
And... that's all folks! Now, in honor of Memorial Day, I've decided on giving you readers an extra day off and wait until Tuesday to post the next installment of random thoughts. So enjoy yourself, take a little break from the Internet and just go outside for a little while. Until then, it's time to finish off the two month long segment known simply as the "Zep-tastic Song of the Week" It has been fun, with the embedding and all. But there's plenty of new bands to cover, and I felt that sticking with one legendary band over and over again will lose its value over time.
So how to end this? With the best for last, of course! From the song's first performance in Belfast's Ulster Hall in November of 1971, it has become one of the widely known songs in the band's history as well as one of the most acclaimed songs of the last forty years. Some people even go as far as to say that this is the greatest song of all time! The most requested songs in radio stations across the country of all time, one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, and simply so great you will bow down to its majesty. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, the one, the only, eight minute epic that is "Stairway to Heaven"( from the 1973 movie "The Song Remains the Same," where the band performs it for ten minutes at a concert in Madison Square Garden). Enjoy:
