Ray Brown Is Coming Back For His 20th! NFL SEASON!

I thought i would title my entry the next thing i heard Michael Kim say on ESPNews.


What i need is some kind of tool, it has to be able to create something, maybe soccer, i'm not quite sure, perhaps twins that star for the Austria polo team, wait...water polo team. It protects their sexy.

Women seem to think i'm very good with relationship advice. Here's a sampling of a recent situation i've been helping someone through.

Her ex has been dropping hints at possibly wanting a relationship again (the first breakup never really takes anyway, unless there were "breaks" involved, in that case if 1 break lasts longer than a week then the first breakup will spell the end of the boyfriend girlfriend phase of a relationship OR if 2 - 5 little breaks are involved then one break up will be the end.) but he has also been very adamant about a friendship, to me this means that yes he does want a relationship but he's trying to play it safe in case things don't work out with the girl he hurt, which is a very distinct possibility. That however is not a good enough answer because since i'm not actually in the relationship i can't really be qualified to make such an assertation. Which is completely true, i know what i've been told, i'm sure theres little nuances that can't be adequately communicated to me over AIM. Anyway my brilliant award winning solution is as follows:

Ask him what his intentions are.

Seriously, i really think some girls either A) Over rate the intelligence of the average male. For example there is no way in hell a guy can be interested in a girl and also pretend NOT to be, it's impossible. Especially in high school. B) Are very afraid of asking "average male" anything even vaguely intrusive for fear of the inevitable bout of ill advised self righteousness (i.e. "I THINK I'M BEING DAMN CLEAR ABOUT MY INTENTIONS! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?") or the classic "non answer" response (i.e. "I don't know, whatever you want is fine with me, I'm just happy we're where we are.") OR the very rare C) Some girls enjoy catastrophizing a situation to the point where it becomes an unexplainable labryinth of in-action.



If i worked at the Auto Zone everyone would love me.

Speaking of work, i applied for a job at Lord and Taylor in braintree on a whim and i actually got a call back from an interesting young man named Carlos. He's on vacation now. I can't take the job because it's too far away for me but hey i got a call back from a place that's incredibly desperate for work. Go to their website they don't allow easy access to their merchandise they just want you to fill out an application. That is desperation.

I don't really have anything else to say so i'll end it

Elton John

Songs I Wish I Was In The Recording Studio To Hear and Experience:

Funeral For a Friend - Elton John

There is something so meticulous about this song that makes it seem so intriguing to me. My only wish is that i could be transplanted to the Chateau (the Honky one to the initiated) to see Elton playing piano for this song. I find it absolutely amazing.

Larks Tongues In Aspic (Parts I & II) - King Crimson

Again, another very progressive piece. Anything Fripp did up until 1975 was just pure sex. That's not to say the stuff he did afterwards wasn't great but his real golden Era was from 69-75 in my limited opinion. The stuff he did with Brian Eno is worth considerable listening too.

Close To The Edge - Yes

If you're listening to a Yes song, chances are the lyrics are pretty abhorrent and the music and peerless vocals are what keeps you attracted. However, on this track they pretty much got everything right, even twittering birds.

Rainy Day Women # 12 and 35 - Bob Dylan

Just so the question "What the fuck?" can finally be answered adequately.

Echoes - Pink Floyd

This song originated not from a rythmic pattern or a progression but from a ping! on a keyboard. How fascinating would it be to see the genesis of this track?

Like A Rolling Stone - Bob Dylan

This is arguably the best thing he ever put on plastic and i would love to watch this song take it's shape. I'm sure he had no idea what he was about to do when he composed Like A Rolling Stone, but i'm pretty sure there was a moment when they were recording where Dylan must have looked at Al Kooper and said something like "Shit, man" and he just knew. Or maybe i'm just a romantic.

Layla - Derek and the Dominoes

IF YOU REMEMBER THIS RIFF YOU NEED TO BUY THIS ALL ENCOMPASSING 70's MEGAHIT COMPILATION ALBUM!

Living For The City - Stevie Wonder

Everyone go out and buy Innervisions! NOW! DIDDE MAO!

And the following Beach Boys songs

All of Pet Sounds

and Good Vibrations


etc.

Notice i included no Beatles tunes. That's because i've read enough stuff on their recording methods and sessions to have practically been there.

Rocket From The Crypt...or Tomb?

If anyone gets my obscure entry title reference then pat yourself on the back and go out and get a Germs burn.

Well my life has been pretty eventful lately but i'm not going to talk about it online because i choose not to. I'm not really a very private person, if i'm with someone and i want to talk about something personal i will but i just find the online world not an attractive place to speak about your very personal business. LIVE JOURNAL!

That was my "LJ" shout out of the day.

So i'm on these health pills or something, i guess the break down fat or something.

Just thought i would update everyone on that.

Kirsten Dunst should murder someone.

Marvin Windows and Doors, has anyone heard of this company? When company's are named after people it makes me think of humans as that product. Like let's say for instance they had "Lenny Computers" It would make me think of someone being typed on and expected to recite information as binary code or something. So Marvin Windows and Doors gives me this great mental imagine of an old man spreading himself out on a bare portion of someone's wall. I'm sure he'd have to be replaced often during the winter months.

Peruvian Surprise. Sexual? Or Spicy dish? We Report. You Decide.

I wish the world would turn into a cube so we could have a Columbus day where he gets laughed at around the HemiSquare.

I wish someone would pay more for this, because then we could have a Columbus day where i got payed. The last time i was payed on Columbus day was the time when i was seven and convinced this woman that it was my birthday, she gave me a quarter. That really happened. It happened because i was convinced that it was my birthday because it was a thursday and we celebrated my birthday on the 10th at school. Remember when everyone brought in cupcakes? I love that.

My eyes sag.
