Just sitting here, listening to Ballyhoo!And wondering what i could do to fight off this disease that has plagued many and yet still there is no cure.
So, i said to myself "Self, i am bored as fuck!" and then myself told me "write a blog post, DAMN YOU!" and this where i am at right now with my boredom, i am at odds with myself because half of me is bored and the other half wants to write in my blog, what to do? What to do?
Oh well, let's see, I could get drunk? No, i don't feel like that right now.
I could watch TV? Maybe, in a minute.
I could go sit on the toilet? I do have to do that actually, but, no, not this second.
Still listening to Ballyhoo! Still slightly bored!
I woke up at five FUCKING 30 this morning to go to fucking Aldine to watch my Russian aunt become and American citizen. Me, my mom, my dad and my sister got there at seven AM and stood in a long ass line for no apparent reason for almost an hour to get into the fucking courthouse AND THEN i had to drop my morning deuce AND there were ONLY three toilets, THREE GODDAMN TOILETS!!!!
AND there was a line, a FUCKING GODDAMNED line, i had to wait behind almost 10 people and it took almost 30 minutes just so i could take a shit!
AND THEN, and FUCKING then, we find that the shit doesn't even start until ten AM!
They had free donuts and coffee there, yeah, fucking FREE!!!!
And did I get any? NO! Of FUCKING course not! And why didn't I get any, cuz my dad decided to go catch the bus so he go to work instead of giving me time to indulge my gluttonous side that LOVES free food!!!
Oh well, it all ended well because i got to go to Waffle House and get a steak, salad, toast, hash browns AND a waffle for breakfast.
So, in the end, FUCK THE COURTHOUSE DONUTS AND FUCK THE STUPID COPS AND THEIR SHITTY DONUTS!!!!
I got Waffle House, so, HELL YEAH!!!!!!

Sublime with Rome- not as good as the original, but still pretty awesome.
Sublime, the original line-up, with Bradley Knowell was awesome and can never be replaced.
But, in a world where old bands are still trying to re-capture what they once had by replacing band members is getting old fast, the Misfits only have Jerry Only.
Dont get me wrong, I still love the new Misfits, they kick ass and Jerry is the shit for keeping it going and keeping the spirit alive, but, for this posts purposes, the new Misfits still serve a purpose in that they are a new form of an old band and they have new members in as replacements for the old better members.
Alice in Chains has a new singer and he looks like a Lenny Kravitz wanna be, a far step away from Layne Stayley and as far as I care, a slap in the face to all true Alice in Chains fans.
The Germs reunited for a while with that dude from E.R. and can u say "PUKE!!!!"?!
Now, on to Sublime with Rome and how they are better and different, first off, the name, "Sublime with Rome"- they aren't just sticking with the name Sublime, they are seperating themselves from the original incarnation of Sublime by adding the "With Rome", that right there deserves respect.
In a time where bands replace band members and more importantly singers, they could at least change the name a little bit, ya know?
Maybe something like "Alice in Chains with....." or "The germs with...."
Or "The Misfits with Robo and Dez"?
Sublime with Rome is a perfect name, it lets the true Sublime fans know that it isnt the same band while at the same time not alientating them, I mean the hardcore Sublime fans that are against the new singer will automatically alienate themselves from the change in singer almost imedeiatley, but, thats another topic of discussion for another time.
The new Sublime still has 2 out of the 3 original members in the band.
They know that Bradley can NOT and will NEVER be able to truly be replaced.
But, they are carrying on the Sublime legacy, they are preserving the attitude that came with the original songs.
They took the correct approach to acquiring a new singer and the correct approach to coming back onto the music scene, I look forward to the new Sublime music in the same way that I look forward to hearing new Misfits music.

When I listen to Broken Social Scene
When I listen to broken Social Scene, I am filled with all kinds of happy emotions.
Their music takes me on a journey that feels like what Alice must have felt like upon her initial journey into wonderland.
Scared, confused, excited, sad, but, most of all.....happy.
Wondering around a strange and exotic land, meeting strange and exotic people, seeing strange and exotic animals, I mean, a dissapearing and reappearing cat, WOW!
That is how i feel, listening to Broken Social Scene.
Many other artists can compare emotionally to BSS, well, for me at least.
Imogen Heap/Frou Frou, Tegan And Sara and Paramore to name a few.
But, when I listen to BSS, compared to the other artists, i go on a journey.
A journey through my own personal wonderland, a land where instead of water its Mello Yello.
Peanut Butter and jelly sandwiches are the prefered food of choice and they are the most elegant food in existance and they are available to everyone.
A land where the clouds are marshmellows, but, not just the white kinds, the kinds where their all different flavors.
Where the grass truly is greener, not just on the other side, but, on all sides.
Animals live in peace with humans and they are not killed, not for any reason.
If one chooses to eat an animal, the animal gladly lays down for them and the person eats that animal, but, respects it at the same time and honors its passing.
A land, where it never gets below 60 degrees farenheit and its never too cold for popsicles.
A land where, everyone can be happy together.
When someone sees someone else walking down the street,they smile and wave hello and the common courtesy is returned in the same kindness.
Yes, that is how Broken Social Scene's music makes me feel.
It is an awesome to place to live, will u join me?

Slayer-"World Painted Blood"
The best Slayer CD, well for me anyways, has to be "World Painted Blood".
I remember reading somewhere, that when they went into the studio to record this masterpiece, they had no idea what they wanted the CD to sound like or even where to start, musically, with the process.
So, therefore, they started from scratch, basically a free flowing death metal/thrash metal nothingness.
You can tell just from listening to it, from the first track "World Painted Blood" to my fave song on this CD "Hate Worldwide" to the very last track "Not of this God", that they basically "free styled" every song, not the words of course, but, the music.
And in my oppinion, it payed off completley, the music is the best Slayer has made so far.
"World painted Blood" is may fave Slayer CD, this the first CD that I actually listened to all the way through in a long time, usually I just go through a CD and listen to certain songs, but, not with this CD, I heard the first track and I immediatley knew that I had just heard something spectacular.
I couldnt just skip around and only listen to certain songs, I had to listen to it all the way through.
And I'm happy I did, because, it turned out to be the most epic death/thrash metal CD I'd heard in yrs!
If you have not heard this CD, I highly reccomend it.
If you are a fan of heavy metal/death metal/thrash metal, I highly suggest this CD.
I am in complete love with this CD and OH SHIT, "Psyschopathy Red" just started up on my iTunes, YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!
