I swear to god my roomate is losing his mind. He gets up at 8am and runs the AC full blast. It's 70 degrees in the house. Its overcast outside, and we've got some beautiful winds pushing the heat out and about. I'm tired of 200 dollar electric bills, so I confront him. IT'S NOT FUCKING HOT. He gets all defensive and whiney, which he's...

Birfday Week is quickly drawing to a conclusion. And I got shit to show for it, save a headache, less money, and some good memories. With that in mind, here's some Monster Magnet words of wisdom, before I go into my journalistic rant....

Yeah..I agree. Most of the time they;re so caught up with family at the actualy ceremony they never pay attention who else is there or anything.
I feel like such a drag queen. I'm SO not used to wearing make-up. How did I used to do this everyday? And its so friggin hot...man do I wish I had central air.
Sorry..I'm all freaked out. I hate this blast from the past kind of shit...there's a reason I moved out of Jersey...to get away from everyone who stayed there. Blah....I want to stay home!
Keep me updated on tomorrow, if you guys are still hangin or whatever. We'll be home really early tommorrow...hopefully before 11am. I wish we could come home tonight...grr!

Hot water rocks...It was the best shower I had in 3 months because I put in my fancy shower head...I actually feel clean.

The birfday has come and gone. I'm still alive, although barely. I'd like to thank the SGPhilly folx that made it out to my little shindig that almost wasnt...y'all made growing another year older that much more fun. Who says Beer and Ice Cream Cake dont mix? I'd also seriously like to thank all those that took to time to drop me the well-wishes as...

Oh no!!!! Your not going to Mom's on thursday?!?!?!?! How am I supposed to buy you a post birthday beer???

blackcorvidae:
thanks for the head's up on the Dune prequels.
I've barely scratched the surface there, even though I've read all that Frank Herbert ever wrote. It's on the todo list (I love a long and overwhelming list of things to read).
Yeah, croaking at 27 is not cool. He had a wife and a 1-year old baby too. I mean, he was taking an undue chance by being crazy on an ATV, he certainly was crazy, but still...
thanks.
see ya soon (but not tonight?)

Here it is...the last day of my 32 year of existence. The emotional roller coaster I'm on doesn't really transpose to the written word so well. And I dont know if its really the Birthday thing that's causing it. It just might be coincidential. I dont know. In the meantime, here's some choice words from The Afghan Whigs.

Sorry I missed your birfday, but I did think of you once this weekend and had a swig of rye whiskey in your honor.

eviltwin:

mebbe i'll see you out this week, cap'n.

Bah...getting into one of my 'moods' again. Im a little pissy because its too late for me to catch an afternoon matinee before I head to work. Maybe I should take a cue from a QOTSA song lyric...more of my daily rant afterwards.

Yeah..i'm not sure why he sent me another email. Maybe because I promised him knitwear? Or maybe its because I'm just so dang adorable!
Either way we're in for Saturday. I sent you a message thingie so just send your shit in a response to that (as in where the hell you live) I was given permission to ditch the meds for a night so I plan on getting tanked...ok..not totally tanked...but happily buzzed. Its like my last night of moody freedom!
Are you still going to the creepy crawly horror thing on Sunday?
And please for the love of god cheer up!
If you do...i'll bring you a treat!

hi buddy,
I'm going to that Monster bullshit too...
But maybe later as trashy says...

Otherwise,

Another interesting weekend. Which is a good thing, compared to the hum drum weekends of by-gone days. Before I get into my little retrospect of the last few days, here's a few choice words from Social Distortion in honor of them announcing another tour this year...

please dont take it personally but im gonna erase your comment in my journal. I read it and i appreciate it, but the reason i deleated my old one is because i shouldnt have aired our dirty laundry like that, I appreciate the words of encouragement though

Pretty Girls Make Graves are good. I saw them at Siren Festival a few years back. i had tickets to see them at the Unitarian Church but didn't go. I couldn't even fathom the idea of standing around with a bunch of punk kids.
They'll never be the greatness that was Murder City Devils though...and especially after the weird disappearance of Dead Low Tide.
I don't know what it is with strong lady-fronted bands being so powerful live and kind of wilting on album. The Gossip and The Bellrays have that same thing going. And all of those ladies are like these forces of nature in person.

I usually post ever few days, to let the slackers get a chance to read my inane thoughts before they're gone. So, if you missed yesterdays semi-apocalyptic rant go read. Today,however, I have to jump into the SGPhilly extravaganza from last night. Lets start off with the statement that I am NOT drinking Colt 45 again for many moons. Before the hows and whys of...

I'll take Topanga over Kelly Bundy any day
And I actually saw a bar & grill called "Chubbies" in Roxboro. It may not be the one from the show, but dammit it should count

yikes! I can't believe I forgot about last night -
ok I officially suck...

There has been alot of soul-searching going on with me these last few weeks. More on that in just a moment. First, some lyrics from Joy Division.
Dead Souls
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true reality
And keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling...

Well, it was a good weekend, and it was a bad weekend. The sour boy may or may not be here. Before we get into that rant, here's some lyrical goodness from The Afghan Whigs.

No no no...I know the movie is based on a comic book. Dorian Grey the character is based on an Oscar Wilde book...the Picture of Dorian Grey. I'm an English lit dork so I've read it a few times.
Dark House comics...pashaw...who reads that crap!
I was always more of a Marvel gal myself. And later i was all about Fantagrphics...Los Bros. Hernandez...sigh..I always wanted to be Maggie.
We're still figuring out tonight. I need to live closer to things. All the cool kids seem to be in Northern Liberties or West Philly. Stupid Washington Square. What is the lay out like in there? And what is the time frame for this?

I'm not a sour boy today, but Im definitley not in the bestus of moods. Ambivalent is probably the best way to express the feeling at the moment. With that in mind, here's The Cult for you to digest:

Oh, the heads that turn
Make my back burn
And those heads that turn
Make my back, make my back burn

I can't even remember the last time I heard the Cult. I gave up on them when their drummer left to join Guns N Roses..
You are not a happy man. You need a whiskey, a vacation, and maybe a ranch with horses. Ok..maybe just the whiskey.
So you boys are going drinking on Wedsenday?

I hate roommates they suck.
We definately want to see Hero, so we wil definately go to see it next weekend! Let me know times and all that crap as the week progresses!
It sounds like you and your wife are having problems! Maybe you need some couples counseling?
After Saturday I think I'm going to go a bit slower on the drinks. They're only really fun free anyway.
