Near Misses (yikes), Ryan Adams (hate), Midway (love)

I was driving alongside this red Blazer Sunday night when the driver jerks over into my lane oblivious and without reason. I might have shouted "Fuck!" and definitely yelled “Son of a Bitch!!” as I swerved my front end too quickly to the left to avoid the A-Hole and I over compensate. Now my car starts to slightly fish tail and I can see the concrete median with the reflective flaps out of the corner of my eye. I noticed the double yellow lines of the carpool lane move under my hood and I smell burning rubber as the back tires start to skid. I thought, "Whoa, I should probably start to control this" as I tried to straighten out and quickly realizing that I had just turned the steering wheel in the wrong direction. I change course and correctly turned into the skid, slowly pressing on the brakes. I was seriously freaked out by those 20 seconds, the other cars were freaked out, and that A-Hole was smoking and didn't dare look over to me as I drove past him. I made it home and had chili dogs and a Pepsi for dinner.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ryan Adams - Just can't get into him or his music. I don't actually hate it and he's good, but here I'm listening and listening and nothing is happening for me. Maybe it was that Oasis cover on heavy rotation at Indie 103 that somehow killed it for me. I’m just that way with bands/musicians at first listen, but I’ll give it and some bands I won’t mention a second or third chance before saying I dislike them outright.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight I will be standing up against the stage for Midway at Kiss or Kill. Watch in horror as I sing along. It's the only band I do it for and I will bring extra ear plugs to block my voice out for you, just come up and ask. They should sell earplugs there, but that wouldn't be the Kiss or Kill way.

Come on down its only 3 bucks, 18 and tons-o-fun. Start it off at 9.30 with Atomic Missiles (file under the Clash), Nutra (Devo-ish), Bobot Adrenaline (love it), Midway (yum) and the Underwater City People (cool)

Have a good day/night (insert stupid comment here, I ran out of ideas)

Currently listening:
Arular By M.I.A.
Release date: By 22 March, 2005

    That happened to me a year ago last May... well guy drove into me cause a truck hadn't properly packet his cargo, so thing fell into other guys lane... guy decided it seems more comfortable where my car is than where the new street debris is... sends my car out of control and into the median, smash, cars drive off... burning air bag smell, I am in daze, traffic is rushing past and I'm still sort of in the fast lane... but my brain is going very slow...

    luckily nothing happened much besides having to gain my mom's old car and a scar on my boob

A couple weeks ago I was sitting on a hallway bench staring at the wall. Friends were on their way and the Honey Pot stopped by to chat for a few minutes wasting time until her equipment showed up. As she got up to wander around again, a boy and girl seated along the bar made introductions to her. Listening (not minding my own business) I remained seated on the bench studying a mosaic of a bullfighter in the midst of battle, sipping my Newcastle. I smiled to strangers passing through to use the bathrooms around the corner. I was bored out of my mind. I wondered if my thoughts were being read and felt that tingle of someone watching me. I rubbed the upper lip in preparation, then looked around my little area for the source of my paranoia and probably by chance the girl and I made direct eye contact. Brief awkward acknowledgments with matching half smiles faded slower than our gazes turned from each other. She reminded me of Whiskey Girl in looks and age which threw me off a bit when I

moaning post

I had a flat this Friday, not that big of a deal normally, except I managed to snap the stem as I was removing a lug nut. Wonderful. More money that I don't have. I'm getting sick of tires, my numerous flats, gas prices, traffic. If I wasn't getting such a good price on rent I would move closer, but why pay what I'm currently paying for far less space in a worse neighborhood? Even with the gas savings I would nearly be at the same spot I am now. We'll see if Just Tires can fix my problem and/or hopefully replace it under the service plan I paid for. Good chance the obscene amount of miles I've put on my might have over shot the plan limitations, which will force me to pay out of pocket. Grr. I have 99,700 miles on my car as of last night. That means I'm doing @ 25-30,000 miles a year. Yikes! Oh I'm sick again, spending the weekend sleeping, not getting my tire fixed, and writing stuff for the other blog. Sometimes I wish no one knew about this one then

Too late movie reviews

I love going to the dollar cinema, so instead of torturing you folks with another I have crush and a pic of DG is still my background image, blah blah blahness , I'm going to give you my take on the last two movies I saw on the cheap. Reviews given without regard for insightfulness and with the assumption that you already seen these films. Madagascar The lemurs were great especially King Julian as played by Sacha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show - he is Ali G) . Every one talked about the penguins, but they are so not funny. Guess the kids and retards like them. Dreamworks animated films will never be on the same level or quality of an average Pixar film. They play more for the lowest common demoniator of the viewing public, releasing quanity over quality. This doesn't hurt Madagascar because the movie hits enough jokes, sight gags, and movie references to keep feeling fresh. It's more topical than groundbreaking, keeping with old WB cartoons compare to Pixar's goal for timel
