La musique: give it all- rise against

I had an excellent story for here all made up in my head but my legal representatives have advised me against telling it here. Feel free to ask me about it in person.

La musique: La fucking la- Ashlee Simpson has been in my head for two days

You know that feeling you get when you fall on the ice and hit your head really hard? My whole body feels like that. Fuck Pond hockey. Fuck cigarettes. Fuck Ashlee Simpson (you know you wanna).

La musique: Megalomania- Muse

So in the process of trying to fit giant peg hooks through my earrings while at work, the ball came out of my left earring. Not being able to put the ball back in and finding no help with my fellow Hardware associates, I simply put the ball in my pocket and went about my business sure to replace it at another time. This was several days ago. It would appear last night that the earring, sans ball, fell out into my mass of blankets and pillows. Not noticing, I was left to go to the store and stroll about town making a rather emphatic statement about my sexuality.
Aaron Murphy sure seemed happy to see me though....

La musique: Torn- Poison the Well

My task was to assemble a workbench. So like any person would, I opened the box, scattered the parts all over the floor and sat down in the middle of The Home depot's comfy cement floor. At that, the stoor manager (who is about as friendly as a stingray) walks by and sees me splayed out like a 4 year old and a bunch of lego. Clearly discusted, he looks at me, an employee sitting on the floor of his fine establishment, and says: "Are you having fun?" to which I reply: "Oh yes, very much Sir!" in some sort of Pseudo British child accent. Baffled, he looks at me for a second or two to see what I meant by that. I in turn give him a ridiculous Dwaine bird happy smile until he leaves.
That is how you stick it to the man.
Go Packers! Fuck Rob!

La musique: Against all odds- The postal service

So one of favorite shows, 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland is beginning a new season shortly. Apparantly one of their new plots revolves around a Muslim family that seems wholesome and normal but is secretly a terrorist cell. Does anyone else see something wrong with this? For starters they're defaming an entire ethnic group that is already had its share of bad press, not to mention perpetuating the feeling of fear many Americans have of a (however unlikely) terrorist attack.
I realize past episodes have had Russian/Mexican/scores of other ethnic groups as villains, and it's not the fact that Muslims are being portrayed as bad guys that I have a problem with. It's the "This could be happening under your nose" fear mongering they're creating. It's that this seems way more possible than a released biological weapon in L.A. or a plot to assassinate a black presidential candidate.
I could get into a big conspiracy theory about Fox being notoriously right wing and perhaps this holding a hidden agenda for a certain fear-mongering President, but I don't want the secret service at my door anymore than you.

La musique: Vitamin R (leading us along)- Chevelle

So this New years was a crazy train wreck filled with booze, drugs and all the right kinds of insanity. A play of play of the night won't be found here, remembereing it seems to be difficult and most of those who read this were there anyways. Suffice it to say eveveryone had a dose of the crazies, I somehow stumbled between two parties and wound up with a Tiara, a giant happy new year's cone hat, glow stick, among other things while sporting Rob's (too small for me)Giants jersey.
I entered my appartment via fire escape window. And woke up with the fear and loathing of a crime I was sure inevitably occurred in my condition.
No constable at the door yet though.
