Well I've finally decided that the dot layout... sucks. I thought it was nice and easy on the eyes at first.. but it's getting on my nerves now. What to switch it to... oh well I'll figure it out later. KITH is my new favorite irreverent (sp?) sketch comedy show. Check Youtube, Google's (who I love and ADORE, for you Google people looking at this blog to see if it's adsense worthy) new little bitch. There are some funny sketches on there, but the dvd's the way to go. They have SKETCH SELECTION!!! Finally, a DVD that doesn't make you watch everything or just fast forward a lot.
I've seen four movies lately, but one doesn't count because it had Jerry Seinfeld in it. The first two are A Mighty Wind and Best In Show, both starring, directed, and written by Christopher Guest. The cast mostly carries over from Best In Show for A Mighty Wind, and it's really refreshing to see these actors take on and construct (the dialogue was primarily improvised) entirely new and different characters. Both were hilarious, but A Mighty Wind was not nearly as funny as Best In Show. The times I laughed the hardest, though, were sometimes the deleted scenes. Because so much footage was shot and only so much was needed to flesh out the characters, sometimes certain scenes were deemed to be too similar and cut. Check em out if you rent either movie. However, no question the funniest person in either film, the Nigel Tufnel of both movies, was Fred Willard. Watch for his hilarious bits and improv genius in his office scene in A Mighty Wind, his interviews in Best In Show, and every other time he's EVER on screen. You'll love both if you like comedy, but neither is perfect. Thumbs up for both, and even if these two are 10 times better than For Your Consideration, Guest's new movie, I will still see it and laugh. Both are classics, just like the other movie, Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny. We have a club... The Tenacious D Movie Watching Club, or the TTDMWC (or titidimwick). We shall meet twice... once was the opening day of the movie, once when it comes out on DVD. It shall be glorious. If you like the D, watch the movie. If you don't, stop reading this blog and get a life (although they are stupid). If you want some more comedy, though, watch KITH
Lastly, I have been playing tennis a lot recently... primarily against little children who are better tennis players than me. Considering that I'm literally the only one in my group who can do a push-up, the strongest, the fastest, and the tallest (especially the last one), it's really pathetic that I keep losing. Hopefully I won't lose much longer, peace

My Ears are Bleeding Ecstasy (The Other Kind)
That was the most amazing concert I've seen... no question
Here's the gist of what I want to blog so I don't forget
The lead singer for the opening act, The Pretenders, was ambiguously hot. She could have been really old and wrinkly, but i couldn't tell
They were good, but no question the who were just too good
solo to who are you was particularly nice
wont get fooled again scream was the best ive heard save POSSIBLY the kids are alright
only way to tell if the songs over: does pete do the splits?
The keyboarder looked really apathetic no matter how crazy the band was. turns out it was actually the keyboard tech subbing for the keyboardist who's in England with his sick wife. pete asked the crowd to pray for him
The first song began on a differently fingered chord than usual, so i didnt recognize it until the 2nd chord: I Can't Explain. Each song was amazing, from that to The Seeker, which was in a slightly different rhythm, then Substitute, and the set list also included the following
Wire and Glass (Tea & Theatre was at the end), Tommy's Overture/Underture, Amazing Journey (after PBW), Pinball Wizard (1st encore), See Me Feel Me, a VERY long My Generation, WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN (Zak Starkey NAILED his drum fills), Baba O'Riley, which was probably the highlight of the show when it came on just after Wire & Glass, Man in a Purple Dress (Daltrey was standing on an amp the whole time, the rest of the band just kinda left cept Pete), WHO ARE YOU, which had some subpar synth but amazing guitar, You Better You Bet, which was awesome (introed with "this is a song i wrote for you" just as who are you was), Eminence Front, introed by "this is a song about people who think they're smarter than they really are," Real Good Lookin Boy, apparently about elvis and written by daltrey partially??!?!!, and Mike's Post Theme, about TV theme songs
This is crude info, but I just want it down. I'll polish it for ya later
Pete tried to spin his guitar in the air after Tea & Theatre, which was superb, and he couldn't quite get a hold of it. It fell and made an awful racket, but then the two standing together was all the more poignant. Pete threw a wad of guitar picks out to the crowd at the end, and as he left, he just said "you sad fuckers"
everyone laughed, and he just waved silently as he left, but one has to wonder just how much he truly meant it. people clamoring for GUITAR PICKS... still, i know i wouldve, and i hope he still loves his fans
If i had to review this concert, it would honestly be a 10/10 JUST because of the sheer amazingness of hearing the who...

?
So I've stopped working on my play before even blogging about how I know I will never be able to finish it... Not a good sign. It was a cool play on the nature of remorse and mistakes. A guy kills someone, though I haven't been able to think of who, hence the quitting, and the play begins with his own rationalization of it 2 weeks later. He has been affected immensely by it, and does not know what to do. Nobody knows it cept him and he's goin nuts. Maybe I'll take the 15 lines I wrote IN BLANK VERSE and put them up here eventually... let me know if you'd like it. Also, this is a test, once again, to see who actually reads this crap (even though I like it).
So I saw Borat... it was as funny as I had hoped, but if I were him, I would feel like a complete whore. He does some stuff I would never do, no matter how much money was at stake. Still... even though it's a one joke plot and a thin, hackneyed one at that, I laughed very, very hard.
On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being This is Spinal Tap and 1 being a spinal tap (its not easy making Spinal Tap related jokes), Borats a good 9!!! I like

Epic Poetry
So today has been overall pretty interesting. It was cold, I spent 2 hours writing a total of 7 lines of a play, and I have been cursing Zach Braff for being such a retard in Scrubs. Honestly!!! How can he not love Elliot!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!! If you watch Grey's, it's not half as emotionally honest as Scrubs, where real people handle real problems, such as being locked away and taped up by a team of po'ed janitors or having people much more intelligent and attractive be madly in love with you. Personally, I think the second would be much less difficult, but that's just me.
New Who album out... finally. I'll get it if they put on a good show.
Marx brothers rule, ill fix this post later im busy

Fun With Babel-Fish
What I'm Wearing: Nike shirt, grey tennis shorts, ankle socks, dry fit hat
What I'm Listening to: A Day In The Life
Mood: Content, Distracted (hence the title of this article), in awe of the awesomeness of "Silence of the Lambs," tired, pretty bored
I decided to have fun with losing stuff in translation with the help of my friend babelfish (yes, the name's a Hitchhiker's Guide reference). I translated the second sentence of Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. It is "the water is warm too, for it has slipped twinkling over the yellow sands in the sunlight before reaching the narrow pool." From English to Chinese, then back, then Greek, then French, then Italian, then English again, then something and back, then Korean and back, then Spanish, then French, then German, then English. Enjoy: "In instruction in the hard wash basin of the river in dinanzi lightning, over in the decadent sand in the lowfirst part to arrive as the light of the helium, the description under those slips, is hot adjacent waters."
Trippy, eh?
So today I watched "Silence of the Lambs," and 3 episodes of Law and Order: SVU. I must say, I've come to love that show and adore that movie. I don't know any other guys who watch Law and Order... I hope it's not a chick show O____o (I've resisted using that smiley since I started this blog). I just gotta review Silence of the Lambs, it's that good a movie.
REVIEW TIME... okay actually I'm basically gonna kiss this movie's ass. Not only is Jodie Foster like my favorite actress EVER, but Hannibal Lecter KICKS SO MUCH ASS!!! THE DUDE ATE A GUY'S FACE!!! CAN YOU SAY "BADASS?!?!?!?!" Seriously though, the movie is far from generic, and includes many brilliantly shot scenes, some genuinely scary moments, and near-constant suspense. You will NOT end the movie thinking it was stupid or implausible like most movies, with their overly dramatic deaths and bad guys who shoot just 1 inch behind the hero every time. Plus, you will sympathize with the very well developed characters, because seeing a mangled corpse of a friend or someone you know is far more powerful than one of a complete stranger. Watch it. You'll be impressed, I promise
-5 through +5, including zero. -5 = my little brother, +5 = my little brother in pain (just kidding... I love my brother although he is... little brotherly)
SILENCE O' TEH LAMBS B GETTIN' A +5, MON
I'll add random facts to this post later
maybe

The Review to Begin All Bad Reviews
What I'm Listening to: Suite No. 2 In D Minor, BWV 1008 (Bach)
What I'm Wearing: The Doors shirt, cargo shorts, Grateful Dead hat, and ankle socks
Mood: Mellow, Pissed, Sarcastic, Cynical, Penis
This will be a more somber post than you or I am used to, but I won't try to act different than I feel. I recently checked out alexa.com, where they list the most popular websites in every country. I was rather suprised that Blogger.com is 14th in America. That severely lessens my chances of becoming a famous writer through blogs... but oh well. At least maybe they'll misspell their urls and see mine instead. Adult Friend Finder managed to acheive #37... my God we are a screwed up country. What did it beat out? MLB.com is #38. It seems getting it on with strangers has surpassed baseball as our national pasttime.
My house is a mess... I have 3 cups previously filled with water on my desk, a rag, notepad, case for splinter cell, guitar peg turner thing, pencil, gum, knife, 100 blank cds, a pedometer, camera, touching the void, GBA game case, eye drops, a marble, abc gum (on the notepad), a guitar pick, notebook paper, another rag, manuals to warcraft 3, and a miniature elephant... okay not the last one.
Looking at the top rentals on RottenTomatoes.com, I see Spike Lee's Inside Man at #1.
TIME FOR ANOTHER REVIEW
So this film starts chillingly. The lighting, camera-work, and acting all help add to the mood of this movie. It's one where you sort of figure out what is going on as time passes. The whole thing is gripping, clever, gritty, and professional. This is one movie you'll probably be talking about the whole way home and then some. I won't spoil a bit, but this is HIGHLY recommended. Jodie Foster's pretty kickass, too, just so ya kno
-5 through +5, -5 as the equivalent of sitting on a buzzsaw and +5 as the equivalent of spitting on lindsay lohan (hey, i find it fun), Inside Man gets a +4
Oh, Denzel, how you never cease to be ass-whoopin

Fondue À La Mode
What I'm Listening to: The far-too-loud hum of my computer... I want a new comp :(
What I'm Wearing: A DIFFERENT dry-fit blue shirt, addidas shorts (blue as well by coincidence)
*NEW* Mood: Confused, Sad (I'm reading the news... it's horribly depressing), determined, PENIS
Okay, I feel like a complete idiot. I am about to share something that went through my mind as I scrolled to the bottom of cnn.com this morning. After reading about a tragic murder, a woman who was kidnapped and locked away for 8 years and forced to call her kidnapper "master," and a potential hurricane, the entertainment section caught my eye. I now understand the use of entertainment: keep our minds off of the REAL issues, but for a good reason. We can't take all the "drama!!!!" However, this is obvoius and pretty hackneyed (and hardly interesting), so I'll move on to the good part of the story. Thanks to the entertainment section, I shifted gears from being horrified to being... entertained. The headlines were:
• Cruise split highlights deeper issues
• 'Idol's' McPhee: No more 'weird eating things'
Now just below this gossip/drivel, something REALLY caught my eye:
• Cult leader gets date with executioner
• Killer's photo collection gives up a lead
Now remember, I was in my "entertainment" mindset. I swear to dog I said it out loud. "Wow... that sucks to be going out with the person who's about to waste ya."
Once I clicked through and saw the story, I smacked my forehead and realized that school and smartness and s**t aren't going to come easily this year. I'm in honors geometry and my 8th grade teacher put his neck on the line to get me there... yes, this is Mr. Martin, who wrote "moron" over the entire board to show what he thought of me and said I had been blessed with the common sense God gave a bottlecap. If I don't ace math this year, I will have hell to pay. That being said, I am still hoping that maybe I can just slack the whole year. Who knows? Maybe I'll pull it off. Oh well
REVIEW TIME
no crap is safe, and no good stuff will go unraved-about-ed
I shall now review something that is life-affirming to me: The Who on tour. After years of basically nothing cuz of working on the upcoming Who2, I thought my undying alleigance would pay off. I love The Who more than most of my fingers, and believe me, I cherish each and every one of those babies. Now Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Zak Starkey (yes, Ringo's kid who is also in Oasis), keyboard(ist or er? I'm clueless) John "Rabbit" Bundrick, new bassist Pino Palladino (anyone makes comparisons to Enty, I'll have an aneurism), and co. have taken their legendary act on the road, and first stop is NORTH AMERICA!!! THAT'S WHERE THE REAL AMERICA IS! OMG! However, guess the closest state they come to. If you guessed Illinois, you're cheating most likely! There is one thing they have done to redeem themselves, however: live streaming of concerts. Even though I won't get to see The Who.... whom I have been patiently waiting for since the beginning of last year, I still must give kudos for STILL breaking new ground. I have seen some shows and they are in prime form... cept Daltrey but he's an effin geezer now
-5 to +5 (0 inclusive), -5 as the equivalent of being dumped by the love of your life and +5 as the equivalent of being dumped... into a vat of chocolate:
The Who's new tour gets a +2... cuz i dont get to see it
RANDOM FACTOIDS before I go:
More than half of the US's 12,000+ ft coastline is in Alaska. Along with more than half of our Eskimo Pie factories (you don't want to know what goes into Eskimo Pie)
Guess who invented the coat hanger? Some historians believe it was Thomas Jefferson! (between that and the Declaration he was pretty well rounded)
The Grateful Dead played 2,317 concerts in total (The Ramones may have done 2,263, but their shows were often a third of the length of one Grateful Dead SONG!!!!)
Blood doesnt attract mosquitoes, they like the scent of bacteria growing on your skin. Don't think this means that if you rub hand sanitizer all over you its as good as bug spray, however
Well that about does it for today, I'm stranded at home and bored shitless. If you're willing to do something and pick me up, I'm always game. Peace. Moonyinator out

Another Foray Into My Mind... You've Been Warned
What I'm Listening to: Nothing, I Don't Want More Tinnitis!!... but towards the end ill give in and it will be "Truckin'" What I'm Wearing: Dry Fit Shirt
This day was destined to suck
It began with a ring... the doorbell. I thought to myself "F**KIN' A!!! It's the painters!!! I hope my brother is awake." Another ring. I rolled over and moaned (no innuendo, folks). I thought "PLEASE, GOD, LET MY LITTLE BROTHER BE OF USE FOR ONCE!!!" I started to drift off back into sweet sleep... then a final ring of doom.
It didnt get much better after that.
My lazy-ass foo' brother never seems to be able to get up. However, I used this to my advantage today. If you've never poured ice-cold water on someone asleep, try it. It's fun. However, they will get revenge, which is why my dry-fit shirt is soaking wet and I'm still wide the f**k awake.
Blogging is appealing to me because I can get an accurate snapshot of my thoughts at any given point in time (right now, I can only get one for 1 day ago). For that purpose, and I suppose your entertainment, I shall give birth to a NEW HOPEFULLY RECURRING SEGMENT: My life in 4 words
Slacker... but I care
Mmmmmmmmmm i am running out of crappy talking subjects so its time for a review!!
actually, I'll spare you from a review of something you already know i like, so why dont you TELL ME what you'd like to hear about. If I had my way, this blog would be even more uninteresting and unintelligible and almost entirely dedicated to ritz-bitz, classic rock, and Monty Python jokes you've all heard a thousand times. Now i will venture a guess for what you want me to do, and it's not shut the hell up, its... its....
TODAY IN POLITICKING-LAND
Breakthrough technology in stem-cells, as scientists have developed a techinique that will (ideally) SAVE THE EMBRYO!!! THATS RIGHT!!! YOU HEARD ME! It appears as though this new method, which involves taking one cell after the embryo has become 8 in total, will resolve the entire issue, right?
WRONG
While the method is naturally not 100% infallible, nothing is. This is plenty for the Catholic Church (who never fail to make me proud, from Holy Crusadin' and massacring those who differ to their intolerance of... anything) to bitch about. In discovering this technique, many embryos were destroyed. BIG WHOOP. It's over. STOP COMPLAINING!! Live in the now, senor popey, or is that too much to ask? Now, to explain why I like this technique, I will simply quote one of the 4 articles ive read on it. "(the) method... is derivative of a diagnostic technique used in in vitro fertilization known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In order to test embryos thought to be at risk for serious genetic defects, PGD removes a single cell, or blastomere, from a couple’s embryo and examines it in a lab for irregularities. If determined to be healthy, the embryo can then, in many cases, be implanted into a woman’s uterus and is able to regenerate the lost cell and continue developing. In practice, Lanza’s technique would take a blastomere from an embryo donated for PGD, allow it to divide, and use the new cells to create stem-cell lines while sending one of the cells off for genetic diagnosis." alright, so that seems logical. However, some scientists have disapproved of the idea, saying that removing a cell could cause potential health problems. That seems entirely plausible, but this makes one thing certain. This process wouldnt even be necessary if not for people like Bush (who used his first veto against it) and Pat Robertson (the guy's as much of a tool as carson daly... plus hes INSANE) who cling to ancient values to avoid thinking for themselves. the one certain thing that i mentioned earlier is this...
ALL OF OUR PROBLEMS WOULD BE EASIER IF ASSASSINATION WERE LEGAL!!!!!!!!!
Some targets:
Bush, Kerry, Pat Robertson, Sid Vicous.... his corpse at least, the critic who walked out of Clerks II, Lennon's killer (DONT SAY HIS NAME... it makes him more famous, giving him sick satisfaction), Lindsay Lohan for being in a movie about John Lennon that makes his murderer more famous.... sigh, Hilary Duff... because i feel liek it, Your Mom, people who dislike this blog (sleep with one eye open), and dave letterman... wait i like him screw that
Ok so this post was kinda weird... im getting the hang of this though so bear with me
lastly ill give a quickie review of something... a movie that all of you have probably seen
Will Ferrell's TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE BALLAD OF RICKY BOBBY
First off, this movie is undeniably funny. Nobody can bash that there are many snort-worthy lines in this cheesy flick. Will Ferrell nails his role head-on enough to where you expect him to sprout a mullet and buck teeth. The plot makes little sense, but whatever, its a friggin comedy. Now for the downsides... this movie would suck on television because not only are there commercials between parts of the movie, there are commercials IN THE @^#%^$$%$%@!&!#);D#&$^&%$ MOVIE!!! It's kind of a sell-out in that sense, and the actual applebee's commercial in it is completely unnecessary and unfunny. Plus, the second time, I barely even chuckled, much less snorted my boogers up to my brain like the first time. The lines are funny enough to quote and not be considered even more of a loser, and its worth seeing, but this is nowhere near as funny as some stuff out there and has a decent enough plot... but nothing special.
-5 through +5 (0 inclusive), with +5 being a walk in the park with the love of your life and -5 being a walk in the park with a bum stalking you and suspiciously eyeing your butt and a hurricane coming in
This movie gets a +2.5
woot
Thats about it. The first draft of this post sucked harder than Monica Lewinsky, but with a few rewrites and edits I think it's become readable. BTW: now I'm listening to "Peaches on Regalia"
Questions? Comments? Legitimate beefs? I owe you money? You have my e-mail and probably my number. Personally, I like my blog, and I hope you will, too, so help me out, here!!

This day was destined to suck
It began with a ring... the doorbell. I thought to myself "F**KIN' A!!! It's the painters!!! I hope my brother is awake." Another ring. I rolled over and moaned (no innuendo, folks). I thought "PLEASE, GOD, LET MY LITTLE BROTHER BE OF USE FOR ONCE!!!" I started to drift off back into sweet sleep... then a final ring of doom.
It didnt get much better after that.
My lazy-ass foo' brother never seems to be able to get up. However, I used this to my advantage today. If you've never poured ice-cold water on someone asleep, try it. It's fun. However, they will get revenge, which is why my dry-fit shirt is soaking wet and I'm still wide the f**k awake.
Blogging is appealing to me because I can get an accurate snapshot of my thoughts at any given point in time (right now, I can only get one for 1 day ago). For that purpose, and I suppose your entertainment, I shall give birth to a NEW HOPEFULLY RECURRING SEGMENT: My life in 4 words
Slacker... but I care
Mmmmmmmmmm i am running out of crappy talking subjects so its time for a review!!
actually, I'll spare you from a review of something you already know i like, so why dont you TELL ME what you'd like to hear about. If I had my way, this blog would be even more uninteresting and unintelligible and almost entirely dedicated to ritz-bitz, classic rock, and Monty Python jokes you've all heard a thousand times. Now i will venture a guess for what you want me to do, and it's not shut the hell up, its... its....
TODAY IN POLITICKING-LAND
Breakthrough technology in stem-cells, as scientists have developed a techinique that will (ideally) SAVE THE EMBRYO!!! THATS RIGHT!!! YOU HEARD ME! It appears as though this new method, which involves taking one cell after the embryo has become 8 in total, will resolve the entire issue, right?
WRONG
While the method is naturally not 100% infallible, nothing is. This is plenty for the Catholic Church (who never fail to make me proud, from Holy Crusadin' and massacring those who differ to their intolerance of... anything) to bitch about. In discovering this technique, many embryos were destroyed. BIG WHOOP. It's over. STOP COMPLAINING!! Live in the now, senor popey, or is that too much to ask? Now, to explain why I like this technique, I will simply quote one of the 4 articles ive read on it. "(the) method... is derivative of a diagnostic technique used in in vitro fertilization known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). In order to test embryos thought to be at risk for serious genetic defects, PGD removes a single cell, or blastomere, from a couple’s embryo and examines it in a lab for irregularities. If determined to be healthy, the embryo can then, in many cases, be implanted into a woman’s uterus and is able to regenerate the lost cell and continue developing. In practice, Lanza’s technique would take a blastomere from an embryo donated for PGD, allow it to divide, and use the new cells to create stem-cell lines while sending one of the cells off for genetic diagnosis." alright, so that seems logical. However, some scientists have disapproved of the idea, saying that removing a cell could cause potential health problems. That seems entirely plausible, but this makes one thing certain. This process wouldnt even be necessary if not for people like Bush (who used his first veto against it) and Pat Robertson (the guy's as much of a tool as carson daly... plus hes INSANE) who cling to ancient values to avoid thinking for themselves. the one certain thing that i mentioned earlier is this...

The First Rant
tonight is august 23, currently listening to "Children of the Grave," currently wearing a T-Bar shirt
after many many months of denial and trying to convince myself otherwise, ive decided i need a blog. too much shit on my mind and too many friends who dont want it forced down their throats. Now, you can be offended and (on occasion) repulsed at your own leisure. basically, the way i intend to write is simple and clean. type what the voice in my head says and look over and remove any ethnic or religious slurs at the end (the voice in my head is a son of a bitch). topics for this blog will be harsh reviews of whatever im doing at the time and rants when my creative kiddie-pool (not quite a cesspool yet) runs dry. first off, a few days ago i saw a movie with some friends...... (and a stranger, and eichenwald... jk adam)
Accepted is the title of this college humor/rom com/feel good/fight the power/teenage movie. in my opinion, the movie is completely driven by a few funny characters. the rest blow. the lead role of "bartleby gaines" is supposed to be likeable, but the guys a douche and blows his semi funny lines. lewis black cameos... its not as good as youd think. its like "Back in Black," but his comedy is supposed to teach kids. The movie is implausible (the rejects who attended the school and magically had dorms would never want to learn, thats why they were rejected), and the plot is completely predictable. the characters have all been seen before a million times (the fat, unpopular sidekick whos a whiz, the black guy, the girl, the parents), and those who havent SHOULD have been the stars (the eccentric guy w/the fro, lewis black, the "blow shit up with my mind" fellow, the pizza delivery guy turned rocker, and the beanpole w/add). all in all, its got the makings of a feel-good, fun summer comedy. however, its use of stereotypes keeps it from being like animal house or something and lowers it to the status of a college comedy aimed at teens who like their movies to be all about stereotypes and in the comfort zone. i laughed, but would never see it again cuz between the laughs, theres nothing
this movie gets the first review of my life and i have a new system. i will award movies/music/whatever between -5 and +5, -5 being the guy who invented ska and +5 being the person who invented sex
Accepted gets a +1
one thing i noticed in this movie, the "likeable" main character "B" uses a mac. hes going to college. guess who macs are supposed to sell to? macs are now being used as a fashion statement and used by "cool" (in the most sarcastic way possible) people by apple to START that trend. dont be their pawn, focus on the reality of the situation. macs are spectacular, but dont get them for the wrong reason. and please, dont bash pc users. we have HL2 and Civ-IV, so whatever you say doesnt even matter. "but macs can run windows," i dont care. im not buying a new computer and copy of windows just for the pretty looks. plus, i like my double click and microsofts jerky about letting others enjoy it. in conclusion, macs are alright, but dont try to convert me. if i had the money (and a new guitar, and a new amp, and a new pc, and a copy of "We're Only In It For The Money," AND a new tennis racket), i would probably get a mac, m'kay?
Thats about it. Feedback? Comments? Concerns? Legitimate beefs? Pregnant with my kid? Drop me a line, or just IM me or use FB or MySpace or comment, W/E, I'd like to know. Your recommendations are totally welcome. Most posts won't be half this long, so don't worry about that.
