I haven't seen any lawn displays, yet, endorsing a candidate.
Man, I hate politics. Lame. Let's divide the country, right down the middle. Either you like choice a or choice b. And then let's discuss this openly and argue. I'm right. You're wrong.
Well, ok .. what if I harbor traits from both sides? What if I agree with both a and b? Can I split my vote? How about choice c, d. e and f? Where are they at? Why is it that we only get TWO choices?
All politians are the same, anyway. "I promise this, I promise that" to loud, thunderous applause. "Yes!", they say, "Yes! I believe you! I love this guy!"
The only thing that I care about is gas prices. Lower them, and you've got my vote. But I can't trust any politician on their word. "I promise" = Mmm, hmm. Right. Let the crowd, in which you're before, hear what they want to hear.
Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Mills Lane, The People's Court, Judge Mathis, Divorce Court Judge Hatchett, Power of Attorney, Curtis Court, Moral Court, Texas Justice ... (I may have missed a few)
Is this necessary? Does this have the same attraction as a Jerry Springer type show? A 'this show makes me feel good about myself'? I am simply amazed at this. One judge show after another. I can see one, perhaps, in an afternoon lineup but not, like, 3 or 4 in a row.
I don't understand. I may be in the minority on this. I do remember watching The People's Court when I was younger. Judge Wapner was entertaining .. but I was like 10 at the time.
I am hugely gay over Bjork. No question. I finally saw the movie "Dancer In The Dark" starring her bad, bad self. A movie about an immigrant losing her vision living in America that likes to 'retreat' into her own self-made musicals when she becomes bored and/or afraid.
One of the best movies ever made. Rent it, buy it, do something. Have a cream soda. She is brilliant in it. Every award from the year 2000 (when it was made) should have went to her.
You know it's bad outside (or going to get bad) when the Weather Channel sends their travel dude to Milwaukee to do hourly updates on our winter conditions ... I can't recall that ever happening. Milwaukee is great big 'who the fuck cares' as far as the US goes. Ah shit, are we in for it. I've already gotten 8-10 inches from last night. There is a blizzard warning thru tomorrow. And even Sunday it's going to keep snowing and blowing (sustained winds at 30+ mph! Fun for all!). They're saying, when it's all said and done, that we'll have around 22+ inches. Damn, Gina!
And here's me w/o a snowblower ... and a sidewalk that goes on forever.
We had a show tonight, but Rigel's all sick so we had to cancel. Must be a mixed blessing or something ...
I want to assemble clips from movie trailers. Make it a two hour long presentation .. or more because I would have enough to make a sequel or six. And these clips will all have one phrase in common - "WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!".
How many times are they going to recycle that phrase? Did Hollywood conduct some sort of a study to determine that these particular set of words get people's attention? Because it has turned into a joke for me. It even makes my 3 year old laugh now if I say it like they do in the commercial, all loud and frantic. Shit, Tom Cruise must have said this phrase in the last 16 movies he's done.
Hollywood must think that we're all stupid .. that we won't notice the overuse of, well, anything. Jerks.
..if I can remember them all. Time to check my memory. And, yes kiddies, these are in order. Starting with the tie for #1:
1) The Blood Brothers - Young Machetes
1) Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside me
2)The Dresden Dolls - Yes, Virginia ...
3) Converge - No Heroes
4) Underoath - Define The Great Line
5) Thursday - A City By The Light Divided
6) Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage
7) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
8) Taking Back Sunday - Louder Now
9) Atreyu - A Death-Grip On Yesterday
10) Rise Against - The Sufferer And The Witness
11) Norma Jean - Redeemer
12) Protest The Hero - Kezia
Who did I miss? I didn't buy the Peeping Tom album (slap slap) so I'm sure that would be in there somwhere. My Mike Patton status has been lowered some. Don't tell 'im.
This past year would have sucked major if it wasn't for my new found brothers in Way To Fall. They'll never read this, but thanks guys. You fucking rock balls.
Fact: The tobacco industry is unable to advertise their product through televsion ads.
Theory: They (tobacco industry) are in fact advertising through television ads. How? Well, we've all seen those annoying "Truth" ads. That would be them. And any other ad that has to do with cigarettes. Any press is good press, no? If you see a commercial, you begin to think of the product be it postive or negative ad. 'Tis just a thought ...
No worries. I'm not some fucked up paranoid nightly news watchin' individual that thinks the government is out to steal my cat's litterbox. Or does saying that make me paranoid? Am I falling off this chair?
Big weekend coming up - see a show, play a show, pick up our greyhound.
Thank you, Peyton Manning, for getting me back into football. Indy Colts are fun to watch ...
My Brewers are leaving one by one .. but the core remains. I can't wait until April.
I need some new music. Something frantic, mellow, heavy, techincal, simple, and boring.
The latest album from Brand New is a masterpiece.
Everyone's having kids. Either expecting, or have recently been born. It's making me nervous ...
demon stomach flu, who invited you to my body? if you could please leave, that would be great. i've already had to cancel one show, and now, with one on the horizon this wednesday, i fear there may be two that i'll have to ditch. plus with all the work i've missed ... at least i have FFIII for the DS to keep me sane. but it's hard as fuck right off the bat so sanity quickly turns to lost hours and frustration. yoo hoo! mr. cluebook! guess i'll have to shell out some bucks for it.
what is transpiring?
we took in a stray cat. so now there's two. one white, one black. my kids have named the new one "kitty" so i guess that's his name. plus i think we're adopting a greyhound soon as well .. the kern petting zoo: where all your pretty haired mammal needs are met. we have a fish too, but probably shouldn't pet him.

i think i need some air. i'm cleaning up my cabinet of one billion years so it looks somewhat presentable. i've called it "beast" for so long, that i decided to spray-paint it across the speaker grill. it looks fucking ridiculous. all 4 speakers were no longer attached to the wooden frame .. so as soon as i took off the grill, i was assaulted by 4 very pissed off and neglected speakers. i've had my amp cab. for 15 years now. many miles it has seen .. many shows it has been whipped/beaten/thrown. there are even drink rings all over it. every yp show it was used, save a few because i didn't want to haul a 4x12 around .. so i used my 4x10 which i sold to bradley. well, half-sold. why am i discussing my amp cabinet so much? soddy ..
if i am able to, i will playing w/my band (way to fall) at some club in milwaukee. this will be my first experience playing a "club" as opposed to a "bar". hopefully the club goers will turn their attention toward us for a song. but i suppose they'll just be anxious to hear their beloved chicka-chicka-boomy-car-stereo shit .. why are we playing this place again?
k. i'm off to learn the final fantasy intro (the original) on guitar. it should keep me focused for a moment or six.
Funny observation: In a room of seated people, usually a person speaking. A meeting of sorts. One person that is seated, shifts their position in their chair. This causes some sort of mass seat shifting throughout the room. Everyone is sitting differently all at once. How odd. It's as if everyone is waiting for one person to lead the charge to cure them of being uncomfortable.
It's the strange things in life like this that make me giggle.
If people could just open their minds a little ... maybe take on a different perspective other than their own. Anyone who's not into the opposite sex is viewed as "EVIL". Wow, that is so wrong. You know, I didn't get married in a church nor did I get married by a miniter/priest/rabbi/etc. I got hitched by a judge. In my parents' backyard. So I guess that makes me "EVIL" too. Damnit. And here I was all excited to go to Heaven. I guess that ain't gonna happen now. Rats. Oh well. Satan and I are like *this* anyway. We listen to the same music.
Open your eyes, fuckheads. Quit being so terrified of God. Do you really think a loving, all-emcompassing God would turn down someone because of their sexuality? Jesus used to hang with prostitutes. He was cool with everyone.
Bah. Wasted time for me right here .......................................damn rednecks. Go Pack go. Shoot a gun. Drink a beer. Get fat. Beat your kids. Hate anyone that isn't like you. Red. Neck. Fuck.
I love when I re-discover a band. That band would be Perfect Nothing from Indy. I am hardcore, nerdy gay over them right now. They're like, all I'm listening to.
They were the first band we (Yp) played w/in Indy .. this would be at the Festivilla for Frito Fest. What a spectacle that was .. I remember pulling into the lot, and all these kids were outside glaring at us. I didn't think we'd be heavy enough for them. When we actually played, they moshed and everything .. they got all nutty and landed up on stage so we were avoiding flying people during the set.
When PN went up, I had never seen anything like it. Total control over their crowd. Very powerful band ... it was as if I had woken up and was seeing how it really gets done. Man did they fucking bring it .. I miss 'em.
I've got plenty of pics from that night. All these kids drenched in chili-cheese sauce and fritos. How bizarre and comical all at the same time. A slippery mosh pit of ultra yuck.
