I may not have mentioned it, internets, but I'm considering trafficking in some pretty dense irony.
See it all started with that earlier post? About Transformers with truck nuts? Well, I thought it would be hilarious if I got some of those truck nuts and put them on my tiny little hatchback car. Right? An ironic juxtaposition of the expectations that have arisen around the very idea of truck nuts, a back-handed slap in the face to all of those that actually have truck nuts because they think truck nuts is amazing. Every goon with truck nuts would see my hatchback go by with its nuts dangling and realize the ridiculousness of their actions and the error of their ways (except not really at all ever). Or, failing that, I could craft a metal vagina instead? Maybe?
But now I just don't know. I'm thinking the work that would go into it would be decidedly NOT worth the reward.

Moment of sad reflection: I've had this bracelet thingy for nearly ten years and its finally bustin' up. It's been kind of rotting for the last few years so its not terribly surprising, but still unfortunate. I've had my eyes open at Folk Fests and Bazaarts and Street Festivals for a couple of years to try and find a replacement but I haven't found anything I've liked enough yet.
It is sad because its been everywhere with me essentially since high school ended. It's seen what I've seen. There's very few things I've managed to not lose for that amount of time and its sad to see one go. Especially when I have a birthday coming up in a few days and I forgot how old I was last week and I guess I'm just a sorry old sack of poo.

Vacation update: I've been sitting at home alone a lot, working on a big mix-tape project (birthdays are coming up). I've been riding my bike for at least an hour nearly every day. Got sunburned playing golf with my dad and brother. Briefly talked to Jenny on the phone.
Ho Hum.

I love standing in the express line at Safeway. Seeing people's nutritional choices makes me laugh. Like the dude who picked up a pack of chicken wings and five cases of soda. Or the people with a chocolaty breakfast cereal, organic apples, and three kinds of frozen ice cream treats. Or the older lady with a carton of milk and powdered sugar.

Yeah. More than half of all Russians die from alcohol. Over half. Its a country pickled! 30,000 people die from alcohol poisoning annually.

As if those things up there weren't bad enough...
Come on, world. We all know Michael Bay is -- like Oprah and Uwe Boll -- one of the most prominent sources of pure evil and shiftiness in our human world. Why do we keep letting him do things that he wants to do? He should be chained to a great Redwood until he gains an appreciation for the universe and realizes the mistakes that he's made.

Hi, internet!
Things have been good, thanks for asking. I've got three weeks of vacation coming up and I'm so excited I could pee in my business slacks. I may be heading to BC, but I haven't crunched the financials yet. It is entirely possible that I have so little money a "staycation" (sorry, I throw up a little in my mouth whenever I say that out loud) may be the order of the day. If so, I will spend every day traversing the city on my beautiful green fixie and working out. My tentative plan is to spend at least two hours a day in the gym if that happens. I will also sprout leathery wings from my back and fly to Avonlea for no particular reason.
What are your plans?

Wake up dummies. The rules haven't changed: if its being sold on an infomercial you genuinely don't need it and are paying more for it than you need to. As Tanis said, they can soak up anything except regret.

Fucked Up last night was everything I'd hoped it would be.
After a great opening band that was 100% made of metal, they came on stage all furious ennui. That might not make much sense, but the duality of the band really comes sharply to light in a live setting.
While there are six members of the band, for 99% of the show five of them looked barely engaged in the performance aspect aside from playing their instruments (which they do flawlessly, I would point out). Disengaged from the audience, to say the least. But that's fine, because the band's frontman more than makes up for it.
Mr. Pink Eyes is absolutely an intimidating man: 300+ pounds, great bushy lumberjack beard, huge forehead scar (from an Iggy Pop-like moment when he shoved broken glass into his forehead and the ensuing infection), and constant teetering on the brink of total nudeness. But there's a reason Fucked Up's live show belongs entirely to him and that is the overwhelming sense of joy he so clearly gets from being up front. He spent about half of the set wandering the floor of the Distrikt high-fiving, hugging, and in general fucking with people. One dude even got his shirt unbuttoned and a rasberry blown on his stomach (we spoke to him after the set at O'Hanlons and he was pretty okay with it). The next moment he was carrying one of the three guitar players on his shoulders while they performed one of their shorter songs. He walked on top of one of the bars. He inspired one audience member to repeatedly jump off the balcony of the venue. He poured someone's rye and coke into his boxer-briefs and frequently tweaked his own nipples.
So yeah, it was highly amazing. The band was incredibly tight, the singer was ecstatic and hilarious, and the songs are the best-written songs in the whole damn country, as far as I'm concerned. I'm still pumped.

I would've written this on my website but it's broken with no hope.

Could this be the most uncomfortable interview ever? The members of Billy Bob Thornton's band seem to think so, based on their expressions in this video. Kudos to Jian for addressing this fuckers attitude head-on.
What an absolute asshole.
