Anger is an energy...some lyrical goodness from Bad Religion before I start my usual rant:

21st Century (Digital Boy)

I can't believe it, the way you look sometimes
Like a trampled flag on a city street, oh yeah
And I don't want it, the things you're offering me
Symbolized bar code, quick ID, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

I can't explain it, the things you're saying to me
It's going yayayayayayaya, oh yeah

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to read but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

Tried to tell you about no control
But now I really don't know
And then you told me how bad you had to suffer
Is that really all you have to offer?

Cuz I'm a 21st century digital boy
I don't know how to live but I've got a lot of toys
My daddy's a lazy middle class intellectual
My mommy's on valium, so ineffectual
Ain't life a mystery?

One of my favs from BR...brings back memories, both good and bad.

I'm trying to dig myself out of this hole of mediocrity that I've sunk into. Lately I havent been doing much of anything, besides drinking, watching TV, and playing video games. OK...I HAVE been reading a bit, but that doesnt count, since its trash sci-fi.

I dont know...I get caught up in these patterns of ineffectiveness, and it really gets to me. Yet, Im the one that lets myself fall into this same cycle of lethargy every goddamn time. You'd think by the ripe old age of 32 I'd of figured this one out by now. Nope...not even close.

Plans for this weekend include the Bastille Day Celebration in front of Eastern State Penitentary on Fairmount. Its a block party with drunken French fops and dandys dressed up like the aristocrats that were beheaded after the French Revolution. Marie Antoinette, etc. etc. Its always a gas, even in its ghoulish way. If any of the SGPhilly people want to head over, drop a line.

In the music list for the past few days:

1. James Brown - Best of...
2. Chevelle - Wonder What's Next
3. Black Flag - Damaged
5. Sarah McLachlan (FUCK YOU, I like her shit) - AfterGlow
6. Muzza Chunka - FishyPants
7. Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction

Vegas in a WEEK. Now, go look at naked ladies....
