hello again its true.

so i haven't posted in a long while...
im not working currently....which sux in a financial facet.....but its great for my needs as a lazy human being...
first of all, i have some BEEF with the USPS (united states postal service, yes..they are an acronym too)
About 3 weeks ago i purchased an item off ebay...that next tuesday they sent the package...two tuesdays and one day later....it is still not here. Granted it wasn't priority mail....but nothing international should take that long, esp. cause its still in the same judicial district. Fuck that and fuck postal workers.....So everyday im not working, the mail is the most important part of the day...so everyday has been a let down this week. My allergies are god awful....they have never been this consistently unbearable...so im taking like 5 claritins a day...my blodd pressure should be sky rocketing.
Not having a job means no cash flow for this nigga.....so im trying to not be such a wastrel...i think its working....
Last week...me and my me and my me and my friends filmed a short film. The plot consists of a man watering his lawn in excess...a conservationist showing up and then sicing his goon on him....the goon in turn beats the piss out of the man and turns off the water...
exciting stuff!! Tonight we start editing....with mike and daren.....hopefully ill be somewhat intransigent....im, all too often, not
-Today i read to the children who attend the day care that mike works for.....im doing it in order to write something in the "community service" space on applications...on my way home i noticed the amount of people in katy is growing still....and the thought of being a part of houston makes me ill.....i think houston is third in worst giant cities to live in....chicago and detroit are the victors....

Musically....im falling into oldies....yes OLDIES!
-beachboys -beatles -bobdylan -animals -byrds are clouding my mp3 player these days.....
i think it was the chili peppers being compared to all these older bands....
also i was listening to some kraftwerk....some old german electronica rock band.....i guess....

What is IDM (inteligent dance music) exactly? what do they mean by intelligent (pardon my stupidity....)?

beer and deep bays of shit

so ive been a little depressed i think....i wish i didn't know why, but i do....which is kinda worse in 'my situation' (how kerry-esque...jk kerry) because id rather just continue to be apathetic. So I will, because that is what i want, and will continue to do so until i start sobbing unontrolably....which is gay and not worth the mental taxing....although it may be beneficial in getting rid of all the excess water in my overly hydrated body....
dont stop reading yet....i know youre tempted
Gosh darn it was a lazy weekend....my parents ventured out for a spur of the moment visit to the hill country b/c of the recent flooding...the land out there suddenly looks (if not...feels) greener and the water doesn't trickle as normal, it pours....which is refreshing...
I think i should have gone with them instead of staying in katy w/ no family home...some of the events of my weekend were very disheartening i guess...even the happy drinking alcohol moments seemed tainted. This compounded my slight 'off-ness' into a full scale, shitty feeling that seems to be souring my mood like the sour gum balls that used to be so popular during my youth baseball career...

The movie Road to Perdition is excellent and is a great revival for gangster films...very very good....go watch. Even you youths......but if your feeling a bit more youthful than normal...i would recommend lilo and stitch....very very good as well....

Now i gotta go....my parents are home....and my mom is one of those hardcore clean freaks (to the highest bracket of extreme)
its really fucking annoying....and i offered her 100 dollars every two weeks to not help with her weekly, sunday afternoon, nit-picky cleanings ....but she turned me down...

i must extirpate this emotional bullshit......or ignore it.....both will suffice.....:backwards sigh:

Conclusions:
-People are not people in this city, unless they have cars.....you must be mobile to be able to live....and that sux....
-Some people need to find out what being responsible means, and start being it.....you cant be a child forever....so stop pretending so much....

do homosexuals fist their asses when they masturbate?

I dont....

red hot way

i purchased the new chili peppers album and post-that, i listened to it all night and this morn. It is incredible. Different...definitely. Over the years, the peppers have subtly been getting rid of their funkrockrappunk hybrid, which they helped pioneer in the 80s and earlier 90s....and in a natural progression they have pretty much kicked the habit....and in its place have added alot of innovative guitar work and a giant pile of melody. On first listen i was like "they are trying to be the doors now! ha, fools!" but then after hearing the overall "love" "happiness" "lovelost" themes in the songs i realized they are more like the Beach Boys....but in their trippy acid-doing days.......or maybe beatles (as rolling stone mentions)
The only song that even resembles their punk/funk/rap is the first single and title track "by the way"......after that, if you can actually avoid all of anthony kiedis's overflowing melodies and the sunny-smooth instrumentals,...you can hear a funky flea bass lick....but very rarely
This album is a love reply to californication....where incubus went wrong when trying to make a beautiful album, the peppers will succeed, because of the natural progression and not the drastic and caustic change of style.....plus the chili peppers are better at it.
This album is a summer day, for the most part.....sitting around in the sunshine eating berries with your shades on, and a couple of your best friends talking about love lost and found...triumphs and lows.....but it does not include how you fucked your love and then she gave you a post-sex blowjob, and how she was on the rag (blood) and you got off on it....
none of that schtuff here, like chili pepper albums past....this is all beauty...
Bare with me i cant remember tracks, but moments of this album remind me of radiohead alot....and also one paticular track that reminds me of the dismemberment plans' "you are invited" or "invitation" or whatever its called
'By the way' for some, (and part of myself) leaves a gap that would normally be filled by a normal peppers album.....and that is the the strong basic songs....the ones that aren't funk rap and they aren't beautiful/pop/rock...they are ones that are almost aggro (but because its the chili peppers, you dont recognize it)....songs like 'parrallel universe' from californication or 'shallow be thy name' from one hot minute...
where are the upbeat and slightly angered rock joints?
well theyve replaced them with innovation....a couple of songs you can still feel the same emotions but they are too dissimilar to categorize together. On some of these tracks Kiedis out does himself with imagery.....i was amazed at their vividness...and the instrumentals compliment with precesion
for -rock-heads....this wont be the best album, in fact they may hate it....
-punks....this album will blow...but thats because they are idiots and think punk still something the ramones were doing twenty years ago
-the intelligent listener....its an album to have...and let grow on you...and eventually let yourself love.......unless you hate it. And if you do, fuck off....
-commercially it will do great....maybe not as great as its predecessor....but still very good.....
...well "by the way" is exactly what i expected them to try but i didn;t expect them to do it this well...nor consistently
hm....i guess its just art...but it still sells.

what kind of people/culture have the last name "sunday"? that just baffles me....

i may get laid off work soon (end of week)....so if you need some lawn work or house cleaning done....im cheap labor....

epiphany or afflatus, what will i choose?

i came to blogger and couldn;t resist making a post...
::sigh:: (i actually just sighed) Im rather tired, you see....i just back from watching one of the more fucked up movies in the world ("Natural Born Killers")....its a terrible tale of two serial killers' lives as 'naturalists' as they, in some fashion, claim to be.....idunno....the whole point of the fucking thing is to pick at the media and claim that we as humans are still animals and murder is in all speices nature...therefore, murder is 'okay' and the only reason its bad is because of media....
At first, but only at first, i was thinking "this is dumb what about the bible, its chalk full of morales scolding murderous foes" but then i swiftly realized....duh shithead....the bible is media.......and was again amazed at this films tact and overall contempt for media
elliot is wrong...film, in its best most untrickiest form, is not a waste of time....i advise everyone to rent more often
{::watches a tiny bug suck/bite/clean its ass on my desk for a few moments::}
Today i ran to galveston/lake jackson (a beach somewhere,whatever)....and back.....in a car......or really a caravan including joannas car (cokehead), mikes car (luminator) and my own (mrs glass)....
due to josh gordons shitty directions, and the overlapping apathy for time, that stoners hold in their hearts.....it took us about 3 hours to get there. This didn't anger me though....
Beaches are usually very disagreeable with me....but this time i had a pretty good time, despite the salty/sweaty/sticky/poverty feeling i get by being there...whats the deal with me having good days? does this mean im gay??
The only thing that may have tainted it, besides the swarming of violent preWNV misquitos feasting upon my newly sanded skin, was all the substance abuse....and then a certain ribald getting rather pissed when we all told him he was too fucked up to drive....(i guess he was embarassed...or just drunk/high)
Fuck drunk people thinking they are in control no matter what you tell them....it makes it so much harder to be that gooood friend, that doesn;t let your friends drink and drive.....
all drunkies should thank me....in worldy unison....
needless to say....no one died....

there are way too many "...." (elipsis's) in this damn late night post..................

again....let me go now....go to innisfree....

blogger ddn;t work for awhile....
so this post is late......quite late............................

celebrated my homebrew

so...4th of july happened
"4th of july. the lucy in sky. I remember pine trees and the coat of many colors. I was 19. Id do anything. Shit like that now scares me but id like to do it again. It was independence day. Ive seen the otherside and i say. i will never be the same."
that was from Homebrew a 311 song about tripping your balls off on the 4th of July and being 19...as i am. I may not have had that type of reckless evening yesterday, but it was decent none the less...wo/ crime. Even "the punks" refrained from any illegal machinations.
America....land of the free. aah......saying that is like the sound of opening a ice cold soft drink or alcoholic beverage (whatever be your fancy)....refreshing....worry free...relaxed....(somtimes....b/c im sure sometimes i could respond mentally with a "fuck that" easily)
i enjoy living in america...many people believe they dont. Prolly because of all the hypocracy, surveillance, mal-laws, brutality, bombardments of advertising, dependence, selfrighteousness, exceptionalism, money based morales, consolidating corporate businesses....etc. In spite of the US's many flaws, i still like it here... As far as i am concerned the system works. The framers of the constitution were fucking smart. They created a system that churns out moderation. Its nearly impossible for this country to go radical in the ways of government...."two sides of the same coin" is in some senses correct....But i encourage people to vote....atleast with local voting...b/c if some dont, then some ingredient to the mixture of government stew is missing...and it wont be exactly what its supposed to be.

I enjoy expounding politics about as much as i do religion....so ill move on....or back....

Yesterday was festive and a delight. For some cosmically strange reason i had a very good day. I went swimming in the afternoon...ate with my neighbors and family...met jenny and had a lovely hour or so... and then eventually met a group of people at Jenny's house....and during that congregation we watched firework displays....and i was filled with happiness as i chatted with my friends and also jenny's parents.......enough 'ands'

America by Simon and Garfunkel - I was putting songs on my mp3 player and(shit) had temporarily placed riders on the storm by the doors in the number 1 position...due to me and my father discussing what he knew of Jim Morrison (which wasn't much cause i think he was maybe 6 yrs old when the doors or jim, died) but then i was like....Jim morrison was a foolish harddrug fuck....so fuck him....so i placed ol' simon and garfunkel in the position instead....This song is so pretty...and it really embellishes my fancy free-ideas about what America is about (even though its just a hippie song), without actually being a very proamerican or anthemetic song. Very happy song, for my fairly happy day....Garfunkel is also the shit....fuck simon........i guess

anyone who reads this....you wanna go to astroworld on saturday?

real squirrels...and there were thousands....and this is not some kind of metaphor....god dammit this is real!

yakiteeschmackitee and all that otha bullshit

actually i am alive...in case you didnt realize...but things have changed, oh so much.
Not really...i got a new car i guess....
its nice looking.....its name is MRS. GLASS....and it is the shiiiiought
i had a long weekend with jenny and co. (family) We escaped the greater houston area and fled to the country-living banks of the Rio Frio near my grandmothers ranch house in Leakey,Tx. My skin is newly crisped and i enjoy not looking so pale, no matter if i itch and bitch about the reprecussions of the all-fearing UV ray. Im not too sure if i had an exceptional time, but a good and decent time all the same. However, i then went back to my past and future home of Austin and had a relatively more interesting time. The reasons why i was there only include going with jenny to her orientation but, it was alllright. I felt i was beneficial for her orienting, although she may have taken advantage of me and my keen knowlege. We also purchased a pornographic film on the hotels 'oncommand' movie/tv feature....it was not good, and consequently humorous.
Daren got an eyebrow piercing....he will prolly get arrested soon now. I think you can dress relatively shitty all the time....but post-piercing...cops seem to dislike you 3x's as much........or maybe thats just when you get tattoos......of swastikas or grow a hitler-esque mustache....as im planning to do to celebrate the 4th.

DeLaSoul- went to their show. I was impressed and had a very enjoyable evening. I believe this to be my first hip hop show, just as it was elliots'. DeLaSoul themselves were quite cool, and by the end of the night i had fallen in love with the group. They seem to have a lot of character and full-fatty-funloving spirits...atleast on stage. Due to me not really knowing any of the songs, i couldn't tell if they were doing a good job...but they were farily humorous and seemed to really get the crowd into their shit. They also taught me about the new 'hiphop flag' which is just "yo hands in tha air"....theyre so color blind they dont even use colors for a flag; nor materials...which i guess makes them un-materialistic.
The crowd, hm...a fairly even mixture of good dancers (blacks) and shit pieces (whites)....i truly felt equality in the room....for the first time ever i let someone of another color bum a ciggarette........i didn't really think about til now, hm....::ponders that point::
BEEF- why the fuck was there so much downtime between sets! it was fuckign ridiculous! the show could have ended far earlier than 2 o'clock had there not been atleast an hour before both crews came on. What the fuck takes so long....they have to set up some mics and a turntable...?.........i guess they are in the back gettin crunk or whatever.......and eating......
The mid-way 97.9 promo people were pretty funny, just by being black/drunk/high and completely random at times. As were many others in the crowd....but they got old after their gimmicks ran their course for 2 seperate interims of an hour and some odd minutes......
Maybe its not worth a mention, but the openeing act (the krackernutz) had a nice female backup vocalist.....they were from austin.....
Seems like i had more to say....but ive paused to think about how shitty it was to stand up for like 6 hours.....and have lost all trains in my brains.....

DO CARTER!
I DID!
