i need something new and exciting in my life.
I'm just kinda bored with everything right now.
Haven't heard any good new music.
Haven't gone to a single concert all summer.
And i don't have much to look forward to.
I dunno.
Guess I'm just old.
blah

insane

so i did my yearly "hey-lets-watch-it-just-to-feel-old-and-out-of-touch" viewing of the MTV VMA's. I think its the only show i watch on mtv in the course of an entire year. and of course it always makes me feel like an old man. i finally know how my dad feels, where on several occasions, i actually stated "Who the fuck is that?" out loud, to no one but myself. i don't know any of these bands, and i really don't want to know them. they all sound the saaaaaame!
michael jackson is still dead.
green day won an award for ripping off david bowie
and kanye bum rushed the stage.
yeah, thats as exciting as it got.
why, back in my day, you never knew what was gonna happen! Would Nikki Sixx O.D. on stage? Would Slash vomit on someone or something? Wasn't Snoop Dogg wanted for murder, but still showed up to perform? Now it all seems so safe. Disney-fied. I was hoping for Lady Gaga to rip off her spandex pants and say "See, i have a dick, now can we move on?" But to my disappointment, it did not happen.
oh well.
there's always next year.

man, they didn't try hard when naming these super heroes.

Did you know...

that if you fuck too hard, you can bruise your dick?

believe it...or not!

AWESOME TV edit!!

OK, so I was at the mall, and I saw an advertisement in the sneaker store for these.

the kurt cobain converse sneaker.
man, that's depressing.
i mean, you expect bands to sell out now. It just happens. its how they make money.
the ramones had a song in a bud light commercial.
Zeppelin sold Cadillacs.
Iggy Pop did Carnival Cruise Lines, for crissakes!
But the Kurt Cobain Converse is just creepy.
when i first heard nirvana, that was it. it was exactly what i wanted to hear.
then i saw them, and they were me. they didn't look like "rock stars" or whatever. they looked like regular guys.
i didn't look at Slash and think "i can do that." but with nirvana, i though, "yeah, i can do that. they're regular guys, just like me."
i went to see nirvana in a small club when i was 15. it was awesome. they had played a show the night before, and when they found out it wasn't an all ages show, they added a second show the following afternoon. as a 15 year old kid, that was the greatest thing i could ever imagine. it was like the fans actually mattered. the band blew me away. it was loud, fast, insane. i met kurt after the show. he was wearing converse all stars (black and white). i was wearing all black chucks (black toe, eyelets, logo, ect).
he commented on my shoes, said he loved them. i asked if he wanted them, cuz i could go get new ones. (hey, i was 15! i'd never give my friggin shoes away at a show now). he actually tried them on, but they were way too big. we had a big laugh, he gave me a beer, and i never forgot that.
so when i saw that ad in the shoe store, it was pretty depressing. maybe its because it was a special moment i shared with an artist.
maybe it was because yet another part of my childhood is gone.
or maybe...



it was because



kurt was wearing converse when he killed himself.
creepy.
fucking creepy, converse.

more
f'ing
snow?!
seriously, enough now!

ok, here's the deal. I love movies. All kinds of movies. I even like bad movies. Like, really bad movies. If i'm flippping through and see "Twister" or "FaceOff" or some other horrible movie, i'll watch it. I can really appreciate the "bad-ness." If that makes any sense. Cheesy horror, bad 80's comedies, whatever. I'll watch any movie.

But never before in my life have I watched a movie and been so mad after than when i saw Juno. I have never sat through a bigger piece of garbage before in my life. Something about this movie has pissed me off like no other movie before. Maybe i'm just too old. Maybe i just didn't get it.
But i really didn't find anything to like about this movie.

First of all, it seemed like it was trying wayyy to hard to be hip. Almost like it was one extended commercial for the soundtrack. Oh and Juno is so hip and funky with her taste in music. "I like Iggy and the stooges, The Runaways, and Patty Smith." Really? Iggy and the stooges i can see. The Runaways...hmmm. Ok. maybe.
Patti Smith. Nope. Not buying it. No one listens to Patti Smith. No one. The only people who listen to Patti Smith are people trying to be a Cambridge hipster. Yeah, I only listen to Patti Smith, Nick Drake, Tom Waits, and now i'm gonna crack open a Pabst Blue Ribbon and listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain while surfing Pitchforkmedia.

I think the moment her friend said "Oh my blog" was the beginning of the end for me. People don't talk like that. People on the OC or Gilmore Girls or some other fake shit talk like that. Gag me with a spoon!

Maybe you liked the movie. Maybe you loved it. But i seriously hated this movie more than any movie i have ever watched before. Maybe it was because everyone said it was soooo good, so quirky, so cool. I dunno. Maybe i'm just too fucking old.

here's a bunch of randomness...

so my ipod decided to erase itself today. to say i was pissed would be an understatement. i've lost soooo much music its unbelievable. and if you know me at all, you know just how much that hurts.

hmm what else is going on...
i'm completely burnt out on xmas, and i still have a few weeks to go. just reminds me how much i hate working in retail.

i've also been feeling really old lately. i don't really know why. maybe its because half the people i work with are 18, and i'm a geezer in comparison. eh, what can you do? have sex with a younger girl? haha

in happy news, i'm completely addicted to Top Gear on BBC. I'm not a car guy, but i just love this show. i seriously watch like 3 episodes every night.

enough bitching and whining. i hope all ya'll are doing good. or doing well, whatever.

***EDIT***
to top it all off, now my xbox360 is dead. fucking red ring of death.
please,will a complete stranger come shit in my mouth? it must be inevitable at this point.
