(no subject)
I really want to enter a contest Queens of the Stone Age is having where you have to submit a video of yourself making out to one of their songs. I was looking at examples, and some of them are so weird! One of them is disgusting but really good/funny. It's this guy trying to look like josh homme, and he's making out with a pizza. Then this girl comes up and starts making out with him (and the pizza) and then steals the pizza from him. Anyway, the problem is that I don't really have any crazy ideas like that (yet, anyway) or anyone to enter with. I mean I'm sure I could convince some random person to do it, but that would be dumb. The people who win get a "limited edition tour poster" and a "merch bag." I don't even like the newest tour posters, it would just be cool to know that the band liked your video. Oh well, at least there are some weird videos to watch.
In my literary genres class we were looking at these song lyrics that are sort of a copy of Ginsberg's poem Howl (which I don't really like). I like these lyrics though:
I saw the best of my generation playing pinball
Maked up and caked up lookin' like some kind of china doll
With all of Adolf Hitler's moves down cold
As they stood up in front of a rock and roll band
And always moving upward and ever upward
To this gentle golden promised land
With the smartest of them all moonlighting as a word processor
And the strongest of them all checking ID's outside saloons
And the prettiest of them all taking off her clothes
In front of men whose eyes look like they were in some
Little hick town near Omaha watching the police chief
Run his car off the side of a bridge.
I think this last part is very clever, funny, and well-written.
