ladies and gentlemen... The Beatles.


**I almost called this post Glass Onion**

"The next song we'd like to sing (pause, woooo, John! We love you!) is our latest record. Or our latest electronic noise depending on who's side you're on. Anyhow, we'd like to carry on with it, it's the last number, and would like to thank you all for being so wonderful. Hahaha. And it's called Help!"

--but say it all with a British accent--

Talk about sexy. Yikes.

(first post without swearing, yay for me)

I'm getting sick of sleepless nights...

I had the unintentional pleasure of not going to my prom my senior year of high school. See, I originally was going to go with a certain special someone but then that certain special someone in a moment of what I'd like to call inconsideration, though I'm sure she considered very carefully how I'd react and and came to the conclusion that she just didn't care (I'd like to point out that I took it like a man and waited until I got home to cry), turned me down post asking. The whole story is very depressing really, but I mention the circumstances surrounding it in order to convey my sentiment regarding the matter. I mean... what the fuck do I mean? I would have gone to the prom. I'm not one of those losers who would just blow something like that off and sit at home. I'm one of those losers who can't get a date and ends up sitting at home. There's a big difference here and I want to make sure the lines are drawn.

Anywho, the matter I was trying to get to was the unbelievable degradation of prom music. I think the chosen prom song was "Time of Your Life." Time to pick better fucking music is what I say. Waste your life listening to that shit. I have put together a selection that I feel says a lot more.

-Baba O'Riley by The Who - "it's only teenage wasteland" - What could be more appropriate?

-The Kids Are Alight by The Who - If the above question has an answer, this is it.

-Pictures of Lilly, also by The Who - This song really doesn't have much to do with anything. It's about masturbation actually. I guess it just touched me on a personal level because I had a lot of experience with it in high school.

-Kodachrome by Paul Simon - "When I think back on all the crap I learned in high school, it's a wonder I can think at all." - I think that line pretty much says everything.

-Let it Bleed by The Rolling Stones - Someone to lean on and all that good stuff, a little sappy but still a great song.

-Lola by The Kinks - About a transvestite. I think that imagery really captures a lot of what high school is about. Or maybe I'm just weird.

-Seven Deadly Sins by Flogging Molly - This one really doesn't make sense but if pirates ever made a punk song it would sound a lot like this one.

-Rock 'n' Roll Lifestyle by Cake - Give all those punk ass posers something to think about.

-We Can Talk About It by The Band - This song has a good sentiment so I threw it in.

-Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds by The Beatles - You have to be on drugs to write a song like this. drugs = only real way to get through school without going stark raving mad or killing someone

-Ride of the Valkries by Wagner - Fuck if I know.

I think this is a very good list. It took me all of a minute and a half to throw together but I still say it's better than anything anyone on whatever group you have to be in to make decisions regarding the prom came up with.

today's physics notes

"When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man"

I drew a big box around this in my notebook. It was a decent distraction while my scary Swedish physics professor put some nonsense on the board about work and power.

Things I Would Like To Do In My Life (no particular order):
-punch somebody important/famous
-be punched by somebody important/famous
-fall from a great height but be okay
-amass a decent record collection
-learn to swim (getting over my fear of water first would be a good idea)
-build a trebuchet or giant rocket
-design something innovative
-be the greatest at something trivial
-move to Boston, make lots of money, have sex with a bunch of gorgeous women, then go into space in one of those
Russian rocket ships
-completely wreck a car in a really cool automobile accident
-own my own movie theater
-save somebody's life and then act all suave like I do that sort of thing all the time
-own a hovercraft and/or bipedal robot
-make one of those running backwards under the legs tennis shots to win a match
-find $5
-fight a ninja
-buy something really nice for someone (like a house)
-own and wear a plaid jacket, maybe even a set of them
-play a round of golf
-make some great archeological discovery in my backyard
-buy a really expensive pair of shoes
-produce, write, and direct a good movie
-randomly insult a stranger in public
-have sex in an elevator
-have a perfect (or damn close to) sandwich
-find a nice girl and live and die happily with her

The last one is rather corny but hey, you have to have someone to share the moments with.

"I said blue moon of kentucky
Keep on shining,
Shine on the one that's gone and left me blue.

another post?

I just saw somebody else's blog and was stunned. It was so much nicer than mine. Now I am sad.

"Death followed by eternity... the worst of both worlds."

Have you ever been reading something and thought to yourself, "If Tom Stoppard was here and was a woman and was also extremely attractive, you know what, I might just sleep with him... those are some rather high standards aren't they. If Tom Stoppard was here I'd probably just talk to him."

I need something really flashy. People are distracted by bright lights and flashy colors and such. I need a big picture of a naked woman with Christmas Lights draped over her body on my blog.

note to self: Get naked woman with flashy tinsel and lights on her for my blog - if you can't find that just take a naked picture of yourself with tinsel and lights - if you can't find any tinsel just take a naked picture of yourself - if you can't find a camera just write your next post naked.

the dreams that you dare to...

Sitting here, listening to a hollow (and somewhat haunting actually) cover of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by some overweight Hawaiian fellow, I can't bring myself to read my so called objective sociology text book. Is this because I'm lazy? Yes and no. It's mainly because I'm lazy but at least, oh, I don't know, 22% of the reason I'm not reading is because the book was written by jackasses.

Since I'm writing this simply for my own amusement, I don't feel that I need to start at any particular place nor do I feel I have to form any sort of coherent argument. In fact, I'll probably end up just insulting the authors. For example, D. Stanley Eitzen - that guy can go pound sand up his ass. His parents probably never married and I bet he's got a stupid look on his face most of the time. Maxine Baca Zinn sucks too.

The problem I find with this book is that they give you a whole spiel about subjective and objective reasoning but are then about as objective as my ass (yeah, go ahead and try to make sense out of that).

This book couldn't be anymore liberal if it tried. I'm not some scary conservative though, don't get me wrong, but what I'm getting from the text is basically this: "Fuck darwin and everything he had to say, fuck him in his stupid ass. The rich suck because they have money and I don't care if it resulted from a perfectly logical set of circumstances. The poor have it rough and it's the system's fault and we need to do everything we can to help them no matter the cost. Oh, and fuck the constitution while we're at it."

They don't put it quite like that but you know... "Government must enforce prohibitions against disinvestment in the city."

What the fuck is that. Every solution they come up with is simply another restriction put in place. More spending and more spending. That's all they can come up with?

So, I tried to write this before my song finished. Didn't happen and having reread it now, I see that I didn't even begin to make a point. Damn. There's a nice link there to the LIbertarian website though. I suppose if you want some actual information you should try there.

Note to self: Try to make sense in next post. Cut down on caffeine.

First Post

These things don't usually have much of a point. Mine probably won't be much different. I'd try to be optimistic but I think I'd just fail.

I'll start with some sort of theme once I decide on one.

For now, think about the words of Oscar Wilde when he said, "I think I'll have to die beyond my means."

Or don't think about them. Honestly, I have no idea what he was talking about.
