Ok, so here's the deal. Last night was good, yet very weird and interesting. First off, I went to Fiddler's Hearth, an Irish Pub to celebrate my big brother's birthday and as I'm buying my dad, my brother, and myself each a Guinness, there was a lady freaking out about my industrial in my ear. She kept going, "My GOSH You've got a nail through your ear! Did you know you had a nail through your ear...." blah blah blah... and then, "That's the reaction that you were looking for by getting something like that, wasn't it?" And I told her I don't really give a crap what reaction I get. I don't care if people like it or don't like it or think I'm retarded for getting it. Who cares! But anyways, then I went to Cheers and freaked a bunch of people out with my haircut. I saw April and talked with her a while and met some of her friends. I hung out with Megan and Katie and Nicki, Mike, Alex, Quinn.. well, everyone I usually do. I gave Sara Sak a back massage and drank a few beers. typical. The first band was alright... the music wasn't bad, but the lead singer just annoyed the hell out of me. He had these long blank, intense stares that he would do while he was singing. Plus he was just distracting and crappy. Anywho... Double B rocked it out and then The Savoy, with all their sickness kicked ass. I got some really good videos and everything. I hung out with Geddes a bit before Cheers and watched Veggie Tales with his son Liam. On my way home I stopped at Meijer and bought some Dark Chocolate, which is the best chocolate there is, some sunflower seeds(to keep me awake on the drive home, as it was almost 2:30 my time), and two CDs.
I just want to state that the Arctic Monkeys kick soo much ass. They are, and I hate using this word but I will for this moment in time(theatre people use it too much, that's why), Fantastic. I all actuality they are Friggin amazing. They are fast, aggressive, Vocally diverse, and just flat out fun. I recommend that everyone check them out. You can listen to the whole CD and not feel disappointed. ANd that leads me to my next CD. I bought it because I had heard that it pretty good and I fed into the hype. I Do like one of their songs, so that was kind of a push for me to buy it. Gotta love those one song wonders. So, I picked up SHE WANTS REVENGE and IT sucks my ass really bad. There are only 2.5 good songs on there.(the .5 is the hidden track, since it's "hidden" *see more below) It all sounds the same and is lame. The vocals sound similar to the vocalist of INTERPOL, yet more drab and worthless. I like Interpol, don't get me wrong, I just don't like She wants revenge. It's funny as well. There is a "hidden track" but the dumb-asses advertise that on the front of the CD. Hmm... now if I'm not mistaken, Hidden tracks are hidden for a reason. If you tell people, then it's not really hidden, is it? NOPE>> So, that song isn't bad, the "hidden one." And then there are two others. the one is called Tear You Apart, which is all over the radio(unless if you live in south bend, then it will be fresh and BRAND NEW in about 9027 months). And the other song is called, I don't wanna fall in love, which also sounds like all the other songs, but I like it better than all the rest for some reason. It guess it's just the lyrics. Most of their vocals are about desperate *Don't forget to add "desperate" before each of the following words* love/lust/heartbreak/lust/lust....did I mention lust. I suppose that's not bad, except that you can only write about that shit for soo long before it gets old.
I was also asked last night if I was in college, which I responded that I was "of college age." Which was followed with the response that I should go back to school and get my degree, because it's all about that piece of paper, regardless of whether if it's for what you do or what you want to do or not. I feel that that is down-right retarded. Why would I want to spend all that money for a degree that I'll never use. I mean, it won't help me land a job. REally... think about it, "Hello Mr. Truex, welcome to our accounting agency, I see you have your degree a Major in Dining services and a minor in Radiology. You'll fit in perfectly with our employees here. As a matter of fact, just because you have those degrees, we'll add 3209478 more dollars to the small, meager salary that we were going to offer you. But, like we said, since you have that degree, you're a fancy fuck and we'll pay you more." *all degrees and majors and Minors were exaggerated to make a point, as I'd love to finish my degree in Technical Theatre* Whatever.... I don't understand people. Pay money, pay money, pay money for something you'll never use.
Anywho.. I better go eat. My lunch break is over and I"m done ranting... for now. Oh, and JOE, I wanna be a guest on your friggin podcast, even if I'm a lame addition.
