Guilty Pleasures

When I find myself in need of something to do, I often glance at the guitars and other instruments that rest beside my bed patiently waiting for me. Then I realize that I don't know how to play the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel Aire, and I must solve that dilemma in the quickest manner possible. I saw Jimmy Fallon play it on his late night show on guitar, in Neil Young fashion. Yes, I taught myself how to Neil Young the Fresh Prince. Since I watched the show all the time, it is pretty fun to play. I can't quite nail the Neil impression like Jimmy, but I think my version is turning out pretty good.

Oh yeah, I also taught myself how to play Beyonce's Irreplaceable. It was by request, and it is very awkward, but still sexy.
Yep, that's what I look like when I don't shave for a month or two, and grow my hair out for 4 months. I now have to devote a few minutes to drying my beard after showering, epic! Below is what I look like when I dance with the devil! Only on the weekends, don't worry... it is the weekend!

Come here often?

Too soon?

Nah, dead people are hilarious. Let's see, some people may be offended by him wearing "blackface", which technically he isnt. Others may be pissed that he is making fun of McNair getting shot in the head by his mistress. I love the smile, so I let both of these pass. If you cheat on your wife with a psycho 20 year old, she might shoot you in the head. Bummer huh?

Hmm...

Unwanted emails

If I take the time to unsubscribe from your email list serve, why in the world are you sending me a confirmation email. I am pretty sure you should've gotten the damn message, "I don't want you to send me any more fucking emails!"

In other, more hopeful and gay news, I got a new amp for my resonator guitar. I know what you're saying, "Gee whiz kiddo', it is already a really loud guitar (it does resonate with metal), so why in the world do you need an amplifier?" To which I take careful time to respond, "It is awesome..." Then, you say, "Yeah, it is awesome. Why do I ever question you? You're so smart, and handsome, and likable, and have nice hair, did I mention I like your smile, and tush." OK, easy killer. Aren't you getting a little carried away? So.... I am gonna go back to playing guitar now. Make sure you call before just showing up on my doorstep again, naked...

Oh yeah, the amp has a few different presets on it for my convenience. My favorite one, "Insane". It is literally insane. Aaaaaannnnnnddd, it is small enough I can hook it to my backpack, power it with a couple C batteries, and rock my face off wherever I want to go. Great things are headed my way, like a public intoxication fine or two.

It's been swell, but there is a full 12 pack of cheap Mexican beers in my fridge and lots of insanity to get to. Bitches!

Grand Canyon, etc.

I was telling Dave, "Dude, that's like 1,000 feet down!" Yes, I am an idiot for getting that close.

A Steve Zissou moment

This mountain goat had eaten way too much of that bush, and just stared into the distance for a while. Stay off drugs kids, please.

"Look guys! Another huge drop off that I shouldn't get close to!"

Trees? First time I had seen some in some months, still not a big fan.

on being hung over

i know hangover is one word, hung over or hungover? now i don't know if hangover is actually one word. dammit. today is not a good day to be my liver or brain.

on another note: in order to reduce CO2 emissions, try not breathing for a while.

did you try it? pretty hard isn't it? we should consider other options.

guess who bought tickets for Gogol Bordello... me

in other, less interesting news, i am fairly certain i am losing my mind. and i am fairly certain i should not be enjoying it nearly as much. toodles!

I have decided

I hate reading comments on any web page. People are either assholes when talking politics, wordy know-it-all opinionated douche bags when talking about movies, or just plain fucking stupid across the board. I wish that somehow we could hold people accountable; I would take out a huge loan and go murder all the fucks who love to spout nonsense because it is in an anonymous environment. I hate privacy on the internet, but I still don't want you to know what I am looking at. Hint: it might involve midgets and/or a unicorn....

Watch this movie!

I honesdtly can say this is one of my favorite movies of all time. It takes time and attention for it to develop; sometimes, you are confused, pissed, bored, and every other emotion that makes you turn other films off. However, Zach Galifianakis delivers a performance that won't let you turn it off. I watched late at night, with things to do, alone, and with other things on my Q; but I had to go straight through. Black Comedy can be painful, and this movie is at times, but overall the movie develops well, has enough action to keep you in, Zach plays his character beautifully, and offers an interesting (and humorous) at who we are today. Just drink less beer than I did, invite a cute girl over (this movie will make her think you are way smarter than you are), and enjoy. If i find a uTube clip it is below....

I've got: something in my front pocket for you!

Why don't you reach in my front pocket and see what it is!?

School and my GA were really lax the first 2 weeks, now they both have turned into actual work. I suppose I bragged too much about taking it easy/getting drunk whenever I felt like it. I had someone tape a note on my door letting me know that my music "(stereo/instrument) has affected my study. Also, the music department has plenty of practice rooms available." I think it was an Asian lady. It is still really fucking hot so I stay indoors unless I must venture out, at which point I lurk about like a vampire from shadow to shadow. I have decided to not start my "Frat boys on skateboards" blog: 1) It would make me notice them more, thus pissing me off more 2) They might try to beat me up/have intercourse with me 3) I would never be able to ride a skateboard again, and I really like riding skateboards. I don't think I have any pictures to add... so I am going to post a picture of the host of the world's greatest drinking show's (Three Sheets) host, Zane Lamprey hanging with Conan O'Brien. I have watched all the episodes of Three Sheets, while getting Steve McKenna'd, many times and will continue to. I hope to meet Pleepleus and Zane in the near future to share in some wacky antics. I stole the photo from Zane, but I don't think he minds some free publicity.

Oh yeah, Mason Jennings and The Crash Kings are coming next Thurs. Going, have tickets. And Bon Iver is coming Mon. the 29th with Dodos the following night. Going, have tickets. Stoked. Just bought The Dodos' new album, gonna give 'er a listen now, bye!
