Why am I remembering "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty"? Danny Kaye right? Maybe my whole existence is buoyed around unrealistic visions of myself. Some Sexual. Some professional. Some artistic. Some vengeful. Probably take out all of the Nutrasweet in the Danny Kaye film and add the paranoia and finality of Gilliam's BRAZIL. Whatever keeps you from running a bath of hot water and putting...

Trucker classes will run roughly 3,400 smackeroons. I'm not too postive in regards to job placement once you pass the program. It runs about five to six weeks.

Saying what you mean and meaning what you say is like Crystal Clear Pepsi. You get real nostalgic for the shit and you begin to salivate. But then you remember all of the times you bought Coca Cola with that shiny, new Crystal Clear Pepsi just a few feet away. And then lack of interest made the whole thing vanish. Maybe it's a hoot and...

Sorry, haven't been paying much attention to any fighting other than No Holds Barred. Unfortunately, anyone who knows JKD either has to restrain themselves or go to jail, regardless of the threat level. If you are trained like Spec. Forces AND a leftist under an Asscroft Justice System, you better know not to let it out of doors or wind up with a long list of assault charges (or a bullet in the head).

It is amazing that food with the shit other than food in it is more expensive than food that is just food. I visited Seattle a few years ago and one thing that amazed me was the accessability of good food. I went into a 'dairy mart' kind of store, and in it was a utopia of health. Natural whole foods, rows of good wine, vegetarian food, healthy and fresh to go items. It was the bomb. I want to live healthy and eat good food that makes me feel good afterwards. But it's still a 'strange' way to be in the mid-west. It's easy and convienent and cheap to slowly kill yourself with bad food. I guess we'll have to move west. I'm up for it.
BORED COSMOPOLITAN UGLY AND VIOLENT. I think this sums up how I write songs. Like colonialists using the native peoples as slaves. Chic and inhumane. It's fun being empty. It's fun being cool. Maybe if I could develop a look it could turn into a dumbed-down Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music backed by sheet metal and feedback. Some nasty contrivance. Disposable. An area where convenience is king...

Sounds like you need to do something active to occupy yourself. Something physical. I feel like I lose tons of time every day when I sit at the computer or watch movies, but I still do these things on a regular basis, cause I'm a fucking idiot, and on top of that, a broke idiot. I lounge way too much, but alas, my budget keeps me from doing most of the things I want to do with the pieces of spare time I actually have. Ok, my budget AND my sleep schedule. Hard to do much other than space out when the only fucking things open are coffee joints and gas stations. Funny, I thought I might be able to be more helpful in this comment, but I've re-read it and realized I basically said nothing. *shrug* Make what you can of it.

I'm buying this Gretsch baritone guitar for $450. It makes sense for the drone aspect of what I do. Since I can't play for dick I rely on the "growl hiss" quite frequently. Hey, it also looks a little like Billy Zoom's axe minus the fancy glitter paint. And who doesn't think Billy Zoom is tubular? Y'all are some X-heads right?

Maybe getting my mind pureed at The Allied Record Exchange has been a healthy thing. I have to say I'm a stronger animal.

Deerhoof have plenty of free downloads. No scams, no band-caught-with-Ulrich-pants-down exploitation, just honest-to-god approved downloads. I think what happened was much like that SNL skit, where Tracy Morgan played the moron with his steak sub, and the website asked the downloads, "Have you ever been approved?" and the downloads were like, "No," and the website was like "Do you wanna get approved?" and the downloads were like, "Yeah," so they got approved.... they got approved!
and they got approved at:
http://puzzle.suchfun.net/deerhoof/
You know, now that I look at the site, maybe it's not approved; maybe it's run out of Lemonkid's basement... anyway, you can also download 4 or 5 absolutely approved we're-sure-this-time at killrockstars.com
I can't think of a more subtly disturbing album cover than Milk Man. "What is the Milk Man about?" indeed... I always knew that strawberry-banana was a disturbing flavor...
edit ps - Oops, scroll button shows that Aaron Russell runs that site, not (I guess) Lemonkid. My faves so far-- "The PickupBear," "Milk Man," "The Magnificent Bird Will Rise," "Dummy Discards a Heart." I do hear prog in there, plus GbV and a little Sleater-Kinney. It's a viscous mix.

Denver/Colorado Springs was full of strep throat and tourist traps. I tried my damndest to find something against the grain to enjoy. I found a giant magazine filled with activities and venues in and around Denver. It was full of the typical shit. Techno Raves, Shitty Bands, Escorts/Massage. Granted, The Escort/Massage industry is one I enjoy but not for the limited budget. Maybe if they...

Might not be on the site till Sunday. Denver trip is coming up early Thursday morning. Fucker will cut into my drone time. Plane leaves at six AM. Most nights have me sitting up till around that time listening to the dryer or the fridge waiting for a change up. Patience is a great thing. As I get older, I understand this more and more....

Yep. Mentally (and sometimes physically) alot of people never make 50 miles away from their high school. Which seem sad, but hey, its their fucking life. If they want to waste it with 3 or 4 hours in front of the tube every night and golf, so be it. But there are plenty of us that have never gone it for that. Gotta get out and see, hear, taste, smell and feel this big old world. Life is to be savored; Coors Light tastes like watered down donkey piss, definately NOT in the savor category. 20+ years after the fact, I keep in touch with maybe 2 people from the old days. I did go to my 20th reunion which was pretty hilarious. Most of the guys were bald and overweight and bitched about how their wives wouldn't let them play golf.... Some of the women were definately there to let it be known that they had aged quite well. The women had it all over the men in that respect. Some of them that were total dorks at 16 were total hotties at 40.

Going to Denver on Thursday. Friend of mine lives on an Air Force base in Colorado Springs. Should be interesting. Apparently, it's not much different from living on campus at a university. Well, the barracks have less security than a university. Poor dude went there to straighten his life out and get a head start into the career zone. The fliers are full of rat...

Ahh! Those scenesters ain't got shit, man! They all look the same trying to look different. How many little buttons with band names can one person have on their tote bags? Messy hair, converse, thrift store button down short sleeve shirts. Tightly worn. It's all bullshit. Indie, Schmindie.

theres some freaks in this town, alright. i salute them. wikid shit, man. what's your minneapolis connection? you an outlaw biker?
indy's gone the way of grunge, hip-hop, the rest. Time for the Earth revolution. long hair, long beards, smokin grass, farming, but no folk music please. i could put up with the smell of pig shit for some good old mother nature. late? fuck that, give me some sun brewed tea and leave me to my t'ai chi.
and now to quote my favorite movie
"We're so glad you found us, Sebastian, You're our best and only friend."
well, it sorta fits.
