Soil and Six Feet Under

Every once and awhile.. a bus shaped sense of reality hits you. When it hits you it's the most sobering/miserable/fantastic thing you've either never felt or haven't felt in a LONG time.

Now, maybe I drink too much.. but these events happen when im drinking (most often). But I can assure these events don't happen as often as everytime I drink. Im 100% aware that we'll die.. and where we go when that happens is speculative for obvious reasons. (note) I used to care so much about where or where we didn't go when said event happend. But whether it be age or maybe I heard something as small as a lyric in a song.. but my path.. my trail of thought has changed.

This is not a piece about religion! (we'll save that for a drunken tirade night)

I was sitting in an un-cozy camping chair when I looked at my nephew (for probably the 100,000th time.. roughly) and it hit me.. I love that lil' shit. It's extremely easy to tell someone you love them on a constant basis. But to mean it.. TRULY mean it.. is rare. For me anyway. Now not to say that when I say I love you.. doesn't mean I don't feel it.. but just at that point I know that at some point i've felt it and or otherwise am aware of my love for you. But on these rare occasions.. the planets align and im aware and in tune of my love. And at that time I knew that if anything happened to my nephew it would result in some type of violence that would not go un-recognized.

In short- I think it's very vital to sit back and although most times you think the people that you care about are aware that you love them.. they might not. But sit back and examine and remind yourself that you're lucky to have them and you're not quite a hermit fuck yet. It's awesome to be selfish.. but not awesome to neglect on love. Don't be selfish and die without those people knowing your love.. and since we don't know when that will happen.. make it an everyday thing.

Fuck

Twilight: A Mormons Attempt At Being "Controversial"

Ahhh Twilight.. Where do I begin? Well let's start with I am not jumping on the I hate Twilight bandwagon... im old school hating Twilight.

I understand the point of the book, it makes perfect sense to write a book about vampires being lovers. Hell everyone is on that trend right now. What I struggle to understand is why do they make them so.. for the lack of a better word.. Greg Louganis-ey.

She makes vampires look like such pansies! Glitter?? Really?? Taunting dudes?? Come on! What is the obsession with making vampires accessible and likable to people? THEY'RE FUCKING VAMPIRES!!! Aren't these the dudes that are supposed to suck your blood?? And live in caskets and the only way to kill them is with a fucking dagger?? To the heart?? That shits hardcore.. but now.. now they're glittering with gold or silver or whatever turdy color they thought would make them look cooler to 10-82 year old horny un-fulfilled women.

The one upside to this joke is the soundtrack.. a soundtrack I never would have looked at. (Paramount best be sending my g/f some residual checks) For the second one at least. It's not bad.. but then again it's very hard to be bad when played against a hunk of turd like that. They could've put Weird Al Yankovic singing his version of Sunday Bloody Sunday "Monday Coffee Monday" and it would've looked like Zoso.

Bottom line.. if vampires were real they'd be rolling over in their coffins and walking into sunlights over this one.. show them some respect and watch a good vampire movie (cough) (cough) Once Bitten.



Currently straight jockin: Elliott Smith- Twilight

Random thoughts on a Wednesday

1)I've come to find out that in life there are 2 things better made generic over name brand. 1.(Gummy worms or gummy anything really)2.(Tennis Shoes)
2)Could you imagine if House was a real person and he got sick and you were the poor sap that got him?? Trying to diagnose that asshole would deserve its own t.v series in itself.
3)I don't know about you.. but im over-tired of bands names that start off with AS or IF. That's cool your bands name is an action or a result of not doing an action.. but really.. how many actions do we need made into band names: " As I did the dishes" "If the dishes weren't done" Change it up a bit.. or just cap this whole name attempt and call your band AS IF. NONE WILL FOLLOW!!
4)Natural cause deaths; I realize it's sad when people die.. and sometimes the families choose not to disclose the reasons of it. But im tired of this trend where it seem as though people are dying by nothing but natural causes.. it's got me more worried than AIDS and cancer combined. How do you contract natural causes anyway?? Interacting with nature?
5)Who's stoked for Toy Story 3?? I know I am.
6)Along the same lines as the band name complaint. Why is it that every singer/songwriter over the past 12 years compares themselves to Elliott Smith?? I can see this being a marketing ploy... I mean i've bought on that wagon numerous times. But really??? It's not like back in the 70's Simon and Garfunkel compared themselves to Led Zeppelin to sale records. The only thing most bands or songwriters have in common with Elliott is the fact that they write songs!
7)It's weird to think that poster makers main demographic is teenagers. When I was young.. it seemed like buying a poster was an "older person" thing to do... "oh yeah just bought a KoRn poster.. here comes the ladies and my drivers license". But now that im older.. I hang up a poster and think "God my friends will never forget this and welp.. theres goes the ladies" But I don't care what you say.. Night of the living dead poster is the coolest thing to ever grace a blank wall space.
8)Fuck what the so called "experts" say.. I cannot have enough pillows.

Introduction

I'm not a writer nor do I pretend to be. I have this in hopes that one day I may be able to spit out something tolerable enough that someone else enjoys it. I love music, as im sure will show in what I write or intend to write. Take it or leave it
