I’m bored. And I have nothing to say or write about. So why am I making a LJ post? Who knows?! I certainly don’t anyway.
...
In fact, I’ll just give a list - I always seem to do this crap when bored senseless - about my tedious life in general right now. Fun!
:: Still have no job right now. I need money to hold me off till college in August sooooo bad! I have so many shit I want to buy, whether it be CDs, DVDs, games or more of the rubbish clothes I wear. I’m more pocketless than Michael Jackson right now. Why is getting a job so hard??? Everyone says it’s so easy and simple, but is it Hell! It’s more difficult than having to sit through an episode of fucking Pimp My Ride.
:: My hair is coming along nicely I like to think. In a month or two it will be at the perfect length to flick out from the sides and bottom of my hat, but not look girly. I am pleased.
:: Relating to the above, you know, style and such? I finally found the red shirt I’ve always been looking for to go with my black tie. Thing is, it’s actually the same one I dismissed as “it’s gay-ass orange, not red!” in H & M a while ago with Louise. *Cringes* Sorry, love! You were right all along. Maybe I was just colour blind that day or something.
:: At least three friends have told me that I “abuse alcohol”. I thought that was funny seeing as I only drink like twice or three times a month. But their hearts were in the right place, so I have to respect that they worried about me like that hehe. You know who you are: I love ya, mofos!
:: The massive operation that is the re-decoration of the Kane house is moving along a lot slower than expected. The living room is pretty much done, but the kitchen is still waiting to be re-buffed so it looks all you know, presentable… but as it waits to be done up, it looks like a war bunker after an explosion. Terrible. But by August I imagine the whole house will be bad-ass and I won’t be ashamed to bring people over anymore. Yus.
:: I haven’t seen a lot of my friends in a while. But they have other plans and stuff to do, so I can’t really do anything about that. Still really sucks though.
:: But not all misery and loneliness on the friend front though. Natalie, you fucking rule in pretty much every way. It’s so great to finally meet a girl who actually ENJOYS and WANTS to have long, in-depth conversations with me yet at the same time, can also have flirty fun and indulge herself in my stupid, random nonsense. Nat, you’re da man! Well, woman, but yeah, you know what I mean.
:: I don’t think anyone will give a toss about this, but upon buying and completing Resident Evil 4 a week ago, I instantly realized it was a masterpiece in gaming. It’s nigh-on flawless. Orgasm-inducing actually!
:: Music-wise, I’ve mostly been listening to the following albums in the last few months: Alkaline Trio, ‘Crimson’ (obviously); The Paper Chase, ‘God Bless Your Black Heart’; Jawbreaker, ‘Dear You’; Jimmy Eat World, all four of their albums actually; Hot Water Music, ‘No Division’; and Rilo Kiley, ‘More Adventurous’.
:: Relating to music, i'm listening to 'From Here To Infirmary' right now, and does anyone else miss Alkaline Trio singing songs about booze and girls like I do??? Sure, 'Crimson' is awesome and easily the most ambitious thing they've ever done, but if i had to choose, i'd ditch the gothic drama completely and have them go back to just three guys from Chicago singing melodic punk songs about being drunk, depressed and lovelorn. Pretty much every song on 'FHTI' has a reference to alcohol, and fuck what everyone else has said to me, lyrics about being wasted IS FUCKING COOL. And then even look at the earlier albums, with songs about wanting to wake up naked next to a girl after a party, kissing her clavicle; classic lines like 'I'm so inebriated that I cannot see 3 feet in front of me' or 'I need a beer to wash it all away without a trace, and I'll drink 23 more to wipe this stupid smile off my fucking face!' C'mon, how can you not love stuff like that??? More importantly, I related to every song on those first three albums and the various EPs and splits like with no other band. Every song sung was like some cool, lazy mate sharing his broken-heart with you while we both drink from a six-pack of Miller. Don't get me wrong, I love, and always will love Alkaline Trio (you know, they just might be my favourite band!!!!) and will always stick by them whatever musical direction they choose to follow, but i just miss that early feeling of having three guys that weren't just my favourite band, but could also feel like your best friends too. Ah well!
Well, not much else to harp on about. I’ll finish with what are some of the best lyrics Dan Andriano ever wrote. They’re beautiful. Love this song so fucking much.
I’m dying tomorrow
In this house, this street, Chicago
I’m dying tomorrow
Did I do it right?
Did I remember to sleep in?
Take lots of pills?
Commit irreversible sins?
Did I at least try to kiss the prettiest girl at the right time?
Did I remember to keep your beer as full as mine?
Did I remember to say cheers?
Did I at least try to make sure everybody had a good time?
Had the best time?
I’m dying tomorrow
In this house, this street, Chicago
I’m dying tomorrow
Did I do it right?
Did I remember to stay up late?
Drinking for the fun
Singing for the taste
Did I run outside to kiss the rain under electrical skies?
Did I remember to keep your beer as full as mine?
Did I remember to say cheers?
Did I at least try to make sure everybody had a good time?
Had the best time??????
I’m dying tomorrow
In this house, this street, Chicago
I’m dying tomorrow
Did I do it right?
