OH HAI

Hello.

Also, if anybody has the Professor Stretch Remix of "Golden", I'd really appreciate it if you sent me a copy (vinyl, CD, or mp3). I'll give you money. Thanks.


Later, haters.

Under Pressure

--Still Alive--

Zathura? More like Jumanji in Space, am i rite?

Bill O'Reilly. Still on the air?

Yes, unfortunately. I can understand how, too. It's not FOX's or even his fault, it's the fault of the stupid audience who buys into his stupid shit. You think Maddox is exaggerating in his post on this douche-bag? Afraid not, kiddies. Constant plugs for his shitty goods. Here's a portion of his e-mail segment from this morning's broadcast:
{paraphrased} "Bill, you wanted an example of bullying your guests? How about Phil Donahue?"
-"Oh. Well, he's a big boy."

Really good, Bill. His age and maturity make your verbal bludgeoning acceptable? Here's an idea: stop having guests on your show if they don't agree with you on everything.


An emotional video just came on VH-1. It's called "Wake Me Up When September Ends". I call it emotional because it invokes the emotions in me that I want to put Billie Joe's head through a wall. There aren't many things that I like less than George Bush, but one of them is when people jump on the anti-Bush-wagon for personal gain. Green Day had none of this political affiliation bullshit in their previous records. But all of a sudden, they're wearing fucking eyeshadow and hating Bush like 98% of their "rock" peers (I use the term "rock" incredibly loosely here. Almost as loosely as Billie Joe's anus was after he turned into this sex-slave to pop culture.). But back to the shitty video. Anybody who can stomach understanding, let alone listening, to this flaming sack of turds will realize that this song is about Billie Joe's father's struggle with cancer. As if that wasn't un-rock enough, they had to make the video this big theatrical propoganda video that isn't even about cancer. It's about how war is so destructive. No shit. Thank you, Green Day, for waking me up to teach me that war is in fact a brutal thing. Up until I saw your video, I was under the impression that war entailed the soldiers from both countries meeting in a neutral zone to play patty-cake and slap each other on the ass for a few months. What a shock it was to learn that there are people dying out there! This looks like some pretty serious stuff! I'm not even mad at Mike Dirnt or Tre Cool (the bass player and drummer for Green Day, respectively). I feel sorry for them, actually. They're getting dragged along on the rollercoaster of shit just because of Billie Joe's shitty frontman status. I would have been happier if they just faded out after "Minority" or whatever that shit-single was, instead of "coming back strong" with this massive suck-fest. Why were Green Day's best albums, "Insomniac" and "Kerplunk" their least-popular? Sad.

"She Says" by Howie Day was on a minute ago. I didn't quite catch all the words, but I'm assuming that he was singing about a situation very similar to mine. Except of course, he probably got the girl at the end.

A commercial came on for "Monster Ballads". It has this song on it called "More Than Words" by Extreme.
:(

Can you tell how bored I am? I seriously need some new friends.
I need a new life in general.
I think too much.
I love too much.
I've got some serious dependency/emotional issues. I figure I can be that open with this blog at the moment. Maybe I'll delete this later, but I doubt it.

I should be doing my math homework right now, but I am neglecting it yet again. It's a lot, too. All the more reason for me to do it right now.
Or to not do it ever.

Seriously, I need to start working. We'll see how it goes.

HELL LEVEL 3 Raw score: 90%

There's a special place in Hell for you: the basement penthouse. You scored the nastiest possible score on the Sexual Hell Test. You have no sexual restraint whatsoever. You'll take pleasure however you can get it, and my guess is you get it a lot. If for some reason you don't right now, you will soon, as people in your category only tend to spiral down ever deeper into the abyss of carnality and delicious sin. Congratulations. I, personally, think that this category is the best. Paradoxically enough, sexual liberation and indulgence can only bring you closer to purity. AVOID: all but level 3 hellions like yourself. You wouldn't want to ruin anyone, now would you?

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender: You scored higher than 91% on hellishness

O Captain, my Captain!

Captain Jack died yesterday.

Rest in Peace, Captain.

Musical Finds

So in my usual conquest for good music, I happened across a name that was unfamiliar: Dexter Wansel. If you like really soulful, funky music, I highly recommend his. I also re-kindled my love for Roy Ayers. This guy has got soul coming out of every pore in his body. Not unlike myself. Jaco Pastorious is also a new addition to my repetoire of music. He's basically a god of jazz bass. Incredible sounds this guy produces.

I also really like the new direction John Mayer is heading in with the John Mayer Trio. They do more blues and rock music. I'm glad he's no longer under the pressure of putting out pop music just to stay afloat in the music business. He can venture out into a genre that he enjoys a lot more and still remain very popular and very successful. Hearing and seeing him play with the JM3, it's clear that he's in his element. He's able to improvise more, he's more comfortable, he enjoys the music a lot more. He puts much more of himself into the music. The media doesn't put emphasis on artists that are talented, just the ones that are really popular. Hopefully he doesn't fade out of the spotlight now that he's doing what he wants and not what the record label tells him to do.

I'm really looking foward to the Jamiroquai concert. 17 more days.

Welcome

I see you.
