pointless shit that isn't being read so i don't care that i'm posting it.

Eleven days till this semester ends, which means absolutely no time say “I have so much shit to do” and not do it. How dare these professors ask me to provide long, boring, uninsightful essays on topics relevant five million years ago? In the next several days I’ll be turning three of your basic semester-ending exhaustion inducers that are pretty poorly written. At least one of my papers will be shitty. No, seriously, I am writing about the importance of excrement in Gulliver’s Travels. 

Even so, I still have time to provide you with your own long, boring, uinsightful commentary. I don’t have much to say these days, save some things I’ve been digging recently.

This pop culture phenomenon GTA IV is pretty bad ass. I’ve played but never owned the older ones, so this is kind of my first realy forray into all the hype of this series. It’s pretty fantastic, and I like the disturbing elements of my psyche manifesting itself in the game. Yeah, I did walk into that hospital with a 12 gauge and blew away all the unsuspecting patients. Yes, that is a little fucked up, considering how much I enjoyed it. I then proceeded to have sex with a hooker. I’m convinced this is everyday life in NYC.

I’ve been getting my spins on Portishead’s “Third”, which just came out not too long ago. I don’t really follow the band, but apparently it’s their first album of new material in a decade. It’s pretty good, it is definitely different than “Dummy,” but in a good way. You expect something different after ten years, right? Let’s not assume the same with Guns n Rose’s “Chinese Democracy”, though.

I’m on the last season of Sopranos, and it’s kick ass. Sucks it only lasted six seasons though. I think I’m moving on to Deadwood next because there’s nothing like watching bad ass cowboys walk into saloons with a 12 gauge and blow away all the unsuspecting dames. No, that isn’t fucked up. It was the wild west.

A friendly reminder placed on a dishwasher for sale at the Habitat for Humanity I’ve been volunteering for. Clean good, that it does not. Well I’ll be damned.

Though it’s sort of pointless (relatively), I still dig this vid for “Stress” by Justice. Five bucks if you can find me a place to get one of those jackets.

Waste.

Got shit to do, don’t want to do it.

Fucking awesome. One of Boards of Canada’s best songs, “Everything You Do is a Balloon,” played against a 60s bike safety vid. Watch at least until the beat comes in.

While I sit in a garage for Habitat for Humanity, waiting for people to come by to donate or to buy, I see and hear a lot of interesting things. 

“Y’know, what really pisses me off is all the cops, all the firefighters, all the doctors; they’re all ‘heroes’. When I came back there weren’t no ticker tape parade or nothin’. Now everyone’s a ‘hero’. Hell, they say it so much you don’t even know what a hero is no more.” -Vietnam Vet that came in looking for a sliding patio door.

As if the state of music needed any more proof. This shit’s hot (although I’m not sure how “Hey Ya!” (a song covered on the album) is considered crunk).

I deleted everything I wrote in this text box because it was a betrayal of my view of what a blog worth reading is.
