More on that momentarily, but first: some context. At the dawn of , the most important rock band of the new millennium fell off in a big way. After two flawless, meticulously constructed, quasi-identical LPs full of swaggering melodic garage rock, the Strokes returned with the bloated and meandering First Impressions Of Earth. They attempted to spread their wings and instead fell on their face.
With most of their alleged peers already running out of steam and The O. Not only was Strokes-style music losing vitality, the entire canon upon which they built their sound was undergoing an assault.
Where punk and garage rock had roared, these bands purred. Their production was expensively sleek, their hooks undeniably infectious.
And I knew, I was giving up McDonalds. Well, it has been over two years, and Tuesday evening, as I was driving home from a community event with Uncle Slam, we stopped to grab a bite to eat. I ordered the 10 piece Chicken McNugget, a Dr. Pepper, and a Medium Fry. The Streak had ended. The feeling of exuberance of eating those salty fries and dipping the joyous nuggets in BBQ sauce was only mired by the subtle guilt I felt for breaking the streak.
Then, two days later, I found myself slurping on a Shamrock Shake and pounding down fistfuls of french fries while fending off a Filet o' Fish.. That's right. Two visits in three days, while I had close to days away from the stuff.
I think I may be falling into a bad habit. Butters: Uh, uhm no thanks. I love life. Stan: Huh? But you just got dumped. Butters: Well yeah, and I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy that something could make me feel that sad.
It's like, it makes me feel alive, you know? It makes me feel human. And the only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt somethin' really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good, so I guess what I'm feelin' is like a, beautiful sadness. I guess that sounds stupid. Goth Kid: Yeah.
Stan: No. No, Butters, that doesn't sound stupid at all. Butters: Well, thanks for offering to let me in your clique, guys, but, to be honest, I'd rather be a crying little pussy than a faggy Goth kid.
Being a young sprightly 21 year old, I have a student checking account. I should have branched out and added a Credit Card a few years ago, but I didn't. Apparently building credit was never high on my priorities list. To be fair, growing up was never high on my priorities list either but, what can you do! I think it came out nicely, too bad they spelled my name wrong. What kind of class is that? This is from the postseason in He's complaining to the ref about fans home team fans, its not like they were in pittsburgh throwing hats onto the ice after OV's hat trick.
Hike your skirt up sidney and let the fans be fans. This is probably the funniest Billy Mays dub i've ever seen. Check out there channel here. Find those errors. Last week I posted a link to my profile with the Nationals, here. There are 4 mistakes, two grammatical, and two factual. Can you spot them? Yea well here they are. Third circle; my email address is right, but it takes you to a different person. Ok so I wasn't a fan of tumblr. I liked the novelty at first but it just wasn't for me.
This is what will happen, I will continue to post on tumblr, but it will only be the stuff from here on blogger. That way I can still be active on both ends.
But this particular post will be blogger exclusive. So enjoy! When you really think about it, it's a song about two people that are actively pursuing an affair! Without posting the lyrics, the story is a guy is unhappy with his current relationship. He reads a personal ad in the paper and responds to it hoping to meet the woman of his dreams. When they finally meet, after three days of poetry in the newspaper classifieds, he discovers that his current girl wife or girlfriend, it doesn't say was the one in the paper.
Don't you think there's a problem with that? I'd be just a little bothered if my significant other was putting out personal ads in the paper. Regardless of how much she likes pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
Sure, maybe neither of us like yoga or health food, and we both enjoy champagne, but who doesn't like making love at midnight on the dunes of a cape? One thing that always bugged me about this song is that its so upbeat for something so.. I don't know, maybe it's me, but why would he be so psyched about cheating on his "lady"? And what does he expect, a phenomenally attractive woman? Dude she took out a personal ad in the paper.
She's gonna look less than a , a guarantee you. Rupert Holmes wasn't a looker himself.. And I think the best part about this song, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, is that people always refer to it as The Pina Colada Song.
I mean, who doesn't think of this song when they have a pina colada, or vice versa? The link is here. I tried RSS feeding everything to here from there but blogger won't let me.
You've been good to me blogger! Oh where to begin.. Well let's start with the beginning of the story, as most stories normally start that way. Kidz Bop is this pretentious little album that comes out every so often. It includes many "Top 20" hits of the year and is sung by kids. The target market here is mostly teenage girls and probably some younger boys. I'm sure you've seen the commercials, but if you'd really love to refresh your memory, click here for the youtube link. But I will not be held responsible for your bleeding ears.
Ok so driving around the other day and the car in front of me has a big sign on the back reading "Frequent Stops". And that's it. Now normally, I'd have no problem with it. But then I got to thinking, as I always do, and I wondered what his definition of "frequent" was.
I mean for me to get to work from school, I make approximately 15 stops at intersections and for stray ducks. Is that "frequent"? I followed this guy for about 10 miles, not in a creepy way, he just happened to be in front of me for 10 miles, and he stopped zero times. So why the sign? I feel like having a sign on your car saying "Frequent Stops" means you must stop frequently. And here's another problem, why doesn't the car have a sign saying why it stops frequently? I've seen other cars that say "Frequent Stops - Mail Delivery" and "Frequent Stops - Construction", so why did this car not have an explanation?
What was he hiding? Sketchy son of a gun. Speaking of the on screen guide that pretty much everyone has used.. I was flipping around literally the other minute and I say literally because I don't mean to exaggerate, this event actually took place between 60 and seconds ago , and I see that there's a tv guide channel.
Now I haven't actively used the tv guide channel since I was 12 and I wanted to see what was on the spice network. So I was a little interested to see that this guide channel still existed. And as you know, I have the on screen guide, and the screen had the little tv guide logo. But, the title said, "punk'd". I hit info. Now my mind was a blowin when I flip to the channel, but first I hit the "I'm curious" button. I hit info, and I see: punk'd - julia stiles, the rock, kaley cuoco.
I'm thinking, "ok, they made a typo or something. Curiosity gets the best of me, and I switch over to tv guide channel. Now as you all know, the screen is split in half on this channel. The top half shows some c-listers talking about their latest film while the boxes scroll up on the lower half of the screen.
They were playing punk'd on the top half. Now remember how my mind was blown? But then as I sat there watching this screen, I began to think. Why would the tv guide channel exist on my tv when I have the on screen guide? The house that i live in subscribes to digital cable, nothing fancy just the single step above the regular cable. We don't pay for extras or anything.
We have all this, and the cable company knows this. So why did they throw punk'd and tv guide at me? I have the tv guide by hitting up down left and right. I don't need a designated channel. I hope your mind was at least partially blown by all of this.
You Don't Mess with the Titles. As most people in today's day and age have experienced, Cable television has on-screen guides to tell you what is playing. So I clicked "info" to see what was actually playing and you'll never guess what it was. First off, I understand they can't fit the whole title in there. These cable companies probably charge by letter or something. You make adjustments to fit the budget, and that's respectable. But "you"? Come on. Zohan could have easily done the trick, and you'd know exactly what they're talking about.
In which you read something about me reading stuff. I've never considered myself a busy reader, but I tend to go through a pile of books in a few months.
It's the case of I don't read often, but when I do, it's a pretty good chunk of the book. My problem is that I read and say to myself, "ok just a few more pages then I'm done. I can knock that out. Today, I'm filling you in on the six books I bought while in Seattle.
