So, I totally forgot about this piece of shit blog until Hash reminded me of its existence... So here I am, updating this. I've been in a deep sleep.
What can I say about this past year? Let's see: Ate too much fast food, became vegetarian, and still eating lots of fast food (nothing has changed). I got my heart broken three times, one of the being intentional, wrote a bunch of shitty pop songs, and experimented artistically and musically along the way. Started two bands, one of them is dead and I'm about to start a punk band. Thinking of releasing a tape with songs I've written for a solo pop thing I'm doing. I've met some great people in the time that I've been gone and I got a new bitty and she's great. I'm still writing shitty pop songs, eating cereal, my opinions still blow. I also realized a BUNCH of things about myself that I'm trying real hard to understand. And just when I thought my hatred for hippies couldn't get worse... I've reached a whole new level of disgust. I'm sure there's more, but that's pretty much off the top of my head. Here I go with the rest of my post...
Hate: Tribal tattoos... Fuckin' tribal tattoos. What really set me off to write this hate post is because of what happened last week. I was driving on the highway and this motherfucker in a blue sports car (I don't know shit about cars, but this shit looked gay) swerves through traffic, going at least 85mph+ on a 55. Anyways, he gets to me and wraps around to my left and I see the passenger and his massive Guido, fist pumping arm that's covered in what looked like shit streaming down his arm, but it just ended up being an ugly tribal tattoo. God knows what they were listening to in the car, I bet it'd make my head explode.
Love: The Muffs. I rediscovered this band again about a month ago and I'm getting blown away like I did when I first listened to them in high school. Kim Shattuck's vocal melody and song writing is of a caliber that can't be compared to many other artists. Closest person that comes to mind is Elvis Costello. I could talk about how amazing their vocal harmonies are, but that could be a whole post by itself. All in all, even though, instrumentally, all of their songs are similar, their unique vocal melody totally sets them apart from each other. Besides being a sucker for girl fronted bands, I'd say The Muffs are incredible at what they do.

Fuck Segways
Hate: If you know anything about me at all, then you know I hate things I don't understand. One of the many things I don't understand (hate) are FUCKING SEGWAYS! Talk about the dorkiest and laziest form of transportation imaginable. Ride something that actually encourages exercising, like a bicycle. Hell, even rollerblades, I kind of hate those too. You might as well be knighted Sir Gay of Fagtown for riding one of these things. Anyone would have more dignity riding this around than a segway.
Love: Empty movie theaters. It didn't hit me until today, when I went to see Daybreakers, which by the way wasn't a bad movie. I don't really get too excited for vampire movies, but it was pretty cool. Anyways, empty theaters, the best. No one screaming or making noise, but me, myself, and I. Although, making lots of noise is fun when you're heckling with a group of friends. Sitting , enjoying, and actually being able to hear everything going on during a movie theater is important because I never catch certain parts and I don't necessarily re-watch movies unless it's something I can relate or love. I should start getting into the habit of re-watching.

Condiments And Movies
Hate: Mayonnaise.... Dear God, is there anything more VILE in this world that people eat? It's like consuming pure fat in a white, thick and creamy consistency. The smell alone makes my hair curl and makes me sick to my stomach. I don't even get sick easily, but goddamn ever since I had to experience Mayonnaise Girl in middle school, I haven't thought of touching mayonnaise. "Mayonnaise should always be banned."
Love: Netflix, need I say more? Whoever came up with this idea is a fucking genius and is probably a millionaire by now. The fact that I'm able to watch an unlimited amount of movies and TV shows AND stream it through my xbox 360 for $9.44/month rules.

Black And White
I've thought a lot about what Allison had said to me, which is that I need a theme or an ongoing topic for this directionless, free-ranting blog. But that's exactly what I'm good at, having diarrhea mouth, or in this case, virtual diarrhea. I've narrowed it down to two things, a blog where I talk about things I love and hate, because that's how I pretty much base my decisions. It's just plain black and white to me, nothing in between. There was that, or a blog about food, and I'm not even consistent when it comes to food and what not. So love/hate it is:
Hate: You like knowing when someone else is eating even when you're not looking at them? Fuck no, I hate that shit. That's when you know they're too loud and chewing with their mouths' open. Leave that for the fucking animals. I want to know who taught them how to eat that way. Someone fucked up cause they're certainly not eating properly. It's as if they were raised by monkeys. It's disgusting and this is coming from the type of guy who doesn't get grossed out by most things in this world, but if I hear you chewing and making ugly faces, there's a 100% that I will depise you. Learn to chew, bitch.
Love: Thinking about this right now makes me miss warmer weather, but it's not that far away. I just have to wait a couple more months! Anyways, I love when you're soaking wet or just sweating like crazy and you're driving on the freeway with your windows down. It's a breeze like no other you've ever felt. I know it's probably not good for you, but so are many other things in this world that bring people joy, like drugs or horse sex.
PS. The New Year's full of shit and so are you.

In A Perfect World
Before I get started, I just want to say that by now I think you should know that I enjoy making lists. They're a great way of making me remember things and also a way to get what I want to say across in a fashionable manner.
So, I've been thinking of myself lately and I thought, "what would my perfect world consist of?" Well, besides the obvious, world peace, for starters. And perhaps be president of the United States, but I wasn't even born here, so that's out of the question... But I'm thinking of more realistic, achievable goals.
1. Open up a diner/venue - In a perfect world, I will be the owner of a sweet 50s styled diner (and POSSIBLE record shop) that plays rock-n-roll and pop punk songs in constant rotation. Co-owner will be my newly acquired friend, Pames Jollard, because it seems that we both share the vision to own our own restaurant and strangely enough, we both love pop punk and rock-n-roll. I also want to hold shows there that books a wide range of underground music. If that doesn't work, there's also a vegan, Mexican restaurant business I could look into.
2. In love - I will be dating (anonymous), my dream girl and I will love her forever, or at least until the apocalypse in 2012 kicks in. We will rock and take off in a rocket ship to the moon and play a punk rock show there to a bunch of punk rockers. We will have also discovered new life forms (ET) that will ask, "What is this fucking noise and funny feeling?" Once they realize that the funny feeling that is taking over their body is the all powerful rock-n-roll, they will join me and my love in our intergalactic journey to rock the entire Milky Way.
3. Own a record studio - Okay, so this may not be as realistic as rockin' out the Milky Way, but I would love to own a recording studio, fucking around and recording jams every night. I would experiment new styles and export tunes in great quality. Since I don't know shit about sound engineering, I will hire someone to do my work, I will just jam out... But to do that, I'd have to hire someone and that takes money, which brings me to my next one...
4. Millionaire - I fucking hate money, but goddamn, I would like to have lots of it. I feel like it's the root of all evil and cause of a vicious cycle, but hey.... what the fuck do I know about struggle or anything important? I have a job at a fast food joint and my parents pay for most of my shit. What they don't support is my punk rock hobby and obsessions, but that's where my burger joint paychecks come in. I just wish I was a cook and my parent's didn't have to work anymore so they could take a permanent vacation.
5. ??? - I can't think of a fifth one, honestly, but I guess what I'm currently craving is Taco Bell. So, I guess it'd have to be to have a private Taco Bell just for me, in my living room. I don't even want to own one, I just want a personal one that make perfect cheesy gordita crunches, crunchwrap supremes, and fiesta potatoes. Goddamn, I'm starving.

Upcoming Shows
Upcoming events worth being alive for:
October 10th: Riot Fest Chicago - Dead Milkmen, Teen Idols, Teenage Bottlerocket, one more...
October 1th: Riot Fest Chicago- Screeching Weasel, Alkaline Trio, Pegboy, and more...
October 18th: Iron Age and more @ Alley Katz
October 20th: Teenage Bottlerocket and Cobra Skulls @ the Clubhouse
November 30th: The Queers with the Leftovers @ Strange Matter
TBA: My band recording in 5-song demo.
I don't really understand why, but how is it possible that I'm getting to see four of my favorite bands this weekend in one place? It's almost like there's a higher power that has answered my shitty and lonely cry of boredom. Something else that has just occurred to me is that I have close to no life and that all I do is music related and shitty. I need more.
I will be updating this list soon because I know there's a lot more, I'm just glad that life won't be boring in the following weeks. I'm also glad that the current band I'm doing is at least going somewhere and at a good pace.
PS. October is Misfits month. That's what's constantly on my playlist, including Graves era.

Ten Reasons
So, I've been meaning to write this somewhere for awhile now and I guess I have the time. Or maybe I'm starting to finally stop feeling sorry for myself and I need to get over it. Anyways, it hit me a couple of weeks ago, when I was playing video games, why I'm single. Now, you know it's sad when you realize a reason why you're single when you're yelling at your TV because a video game doesn't go your way. I've singled it down to 10 reasons why (no particular order):
1. Cereal Collection - For as long as I could remember, cereal, and most breakfast foods for that matter, have been my favorite food to eat at any time of the day. I once tried going on a week where I ate nothing but cereal. At one point in the last year, I had 16 boxes of cereal. It may be unhealthy that I eat a lot of cereal, but also healthy in a sense that it can be nutritious. If you ever want to make my day, I like Honey Bunches of Oats and Frosted Shredded Wheat.
2. My guitar's name is Sheena - Under the influence of the Ramones' classic, "Sheena Is A Punk Rocker." If you think I got this from any other place than you're a dumb ass with no history. I'm thinking of picking up a new guitar soon, a Danelectro "Dead On '67." They're so beautiful, and I'm going to name her Judy.
3. Message Board Poster - I love message boards so much that I go out looking for new ones to start posting in. They mainly deal with my many interests, because I couldn't possibly take part in a message board unless I was trolling. Even then that's just stupid and a waste of time. Also, you know you're a loser that spends too much time on them when you get threads made about you.
4. Violence and Horror Obsessed - What grown man is obsessed with this type of material? Honestly, I find solace in witnessing blood, guts, and horror themed music. I find lyrical content to be very fitting and out of the norm.
5. Farmville Addict - Really!? So I just found out that this game is played in real time and that I have to keep checking up on my crops. Now whenever I'm at a friend's place, I have to ask if "I could get online to check on my crops." What the fuck does this even mean!?
6. I Yell at Video Games - You know when something just doesn't go your way.... for the 40th time!? Yeah well, I'm convinced everyone has a boiling point and mine gets reached when I experience the same outcome. By the way, to this day I'm still stuck on that fucking level...
7. Constant Playlists - I sercretly (I guess not anymore since you know) have lots of playlists I've made in the last couple of years that range from different types of music to comfort moods I have. I'm going to now start making tapes rather CD mixes and also start collecting tapes.
8. Collecting (in general) - Ever since I've had the internet, I've always been a huge collector in funny images, music and movies. They're about 90% responsible for who I am and make up most of my humor. Steve Buscemi said it best in Ghost World, "You think it's healthy to obsessively collect things? Can't connect with other people so you fill your life with stuff, just like all the rest of these pathetic, collector losers."
9. Stupid Music - My favorite band has a song titled, "I Can't Stop Farting." I think that says enough, but I honestly can't get enough of this. As stated above, music pretty much makes up my humor and I can relate to most of it. Quoting it also fun, this goes for movies as well. Not to mention the music I write is just as, if not, worse. Lame lyrical content, but it sums up me pretty well.
10. I'm a Genius - I think only stupid people have good relationships. Nothing is perfect, and for that matter, nothing in this world lasts forever. I figure, if I wait my time, the girl will come for me. Also the fact that I'm obsessed with the idea of love itself and also the fact that I live by every Queers lyric makes me a huge dork, but it's fun and I hope the right girl will see this.
