Friday, November 14, 2008 there i was on 42nd street. a grown man... getting a wedgie.

Current mood: busy oooh. 2 blogs in one week. lucky you. i'm feeling kind of inspired right now so i thought i'd write another blog. or actually i have to study for a math test tomorrow, but what's the difference right? aanyway, i was watching anthony bourdain today and he was in vegas. he started talking to people about what vegas used to be like, and he was talking to some sammy davis jr. impersonator and that got me thinking. you know how people sometimes ask, "if you could meet any 3 people dead or alive and have a conversation with them, who would it be?" well usually i'd say abe lincoln, MLK jr., JFK or something like that, but not anymore. how fucking rad would it be to chill with the Rat Pack? that'd be a hell of a time, especially if somehow you could go back in time and chill with them in the old vegas! oh man. that'd be AMAZING!! martinis, music, girls, more martinis, imagine the stories these guys would tell. well, that's my new answer from now on. by the way, is it nerdy that if i ever went to vegas, i'd want to see the hoover dam and the grand canyon? also, i'm not sure how i feel about barack obama being on shows like access hollywood and stuff like that. he's just getting all of this over exposure now and it's cool in the way that they're showing all of his favorite "hot spots" in chicago (which maybe i'll visit) uh, let me clarify, it's like his favorite restaurants and stuff, but anyway, it kind sucks because now everybody is watching him and stuff. i'm not really sure what i'm trying to say here or how to get it across. you know how when fall out boy just had "take this to your grave" and they would play like c.o.d. or the wheaton community center, and they were just the local band that was pretty good, and then they released "from under the cork tree" and they were all over mtv and the little teeny bopper girls were all in love with them and then you had to stop liking them? that's what it's kinda starting to feel like with obama. bad example. meh. oh, so this weekend i went to the mall for like the first time in a year or so because i had like a 30% off coupon for banana republic (which doesn't amount to much seeing as how expensive shit is in there) but anyway, i wandered into hot topic, and oh man, wtf is going on there? i remember back in the high school days when i used to go in there, all the band t-shirts were black and i could like name every band on the wall. when i went in there it was like someone painted a fucking rainbow on the wall. all the shirts now are like neon pink, and yellow, and baby blue. and i couldn't name any of the bands anymore. the only ones i knew were social d and rancid. and there was a band that i'd never heard of before but they had the coolest name ever. the name however escapes me right now. sorry. haha. but anyway, i guess it's kinda like a semi-mid-life-crisis or something. the sudden realization that what you used to think is cool suddenly isn't anymore. wtf. maybe i should start listening to these new bands. who wouldn't like to see in a hot neon pink shirt? haha. but today i saw in a bulletin that blink 182 is reissuing the rabbit t-shirt exclusively for hot topic. so i guess i'm gonna have to make the trek to hot topic one more time at least. gotta get my blink shirt people! i used to have one from back in the day when they toured with Fenix TX when they still weren't all over mtv too. by the way who remembers Fenix TX? i think i'm the only person i know with a Fenix TX cd. aaanyway, i bought a shirt but god knows what's happened to it. so i gotta get a new one for old times' sake. and what the hell happened to the lance armstrong yellow cancer bracelets? remember a couple a years ago when they were all the rage? what the hell happened? do people not care about cancer anymore? or was it all just a fashion statement that went outta style? i think we know the answer to that now. oh, and over the weekend i saw role models. hilarious. and at the beginning they showed a trailer for the new fast and the furious. original cast people! it's gonna be great. who thinks jordana brewster is friggin hot? i do. and she's gonna be back people. why the hell isn't she in more movies? if i were a movie producer she'd be in like all of my movies. her and tina fey. and the mexican stripper girl from hi my name is earl. and why is like every guy obsessed with the girl from transformers? yeah she's hot but she seems so dirty to me for some reason. and not dirty as in bad girl kinda dirty, i'm talkin bout i'm banging the guy from beverly hills 90210 dirty. why is it that every time i see like the top 100 hottest girls, i'm always disagreeing with their choices. especially when they get to like the top 10. in one i saw, beyonce was number 1. wtf is that about? really people? of all the girls on the planet, you think beyonce is the hottest girl? idk. i have good taste in girls right? well whatever. i'm gonna have to start my own movie studio or magazine or whatever. the fire is playing the crew tonight in the eastern conference finals. GO FIRE!!!! i'm listening to blink 182's dude ranch right now. it's great. probably my favorite album of all time. i find that whenever i get in a music rut, or i'm tired of listening to a certain genre or band or whatever, i can usually fall back on this album and it'll put a smile to my face. actually any blink album before their last one will do the trick. but dude ranch and enema of the state are the best. cheshire cat is great too but they totally need to reissue it remastered and everything. you can tell they're a bunch of teenagers in cheshire cat but it's still good. ahhh blink. too bad tom turned into a major douche and tried to create the next u2 or whatever. i haven't listened to his new band. i heard that one song that's like on commercials or whatever, but that's about it. has anybody heard it? is it any good? whatever. i'm loyal to tom and travis. +44 for life!! haha. man it sucks what happened to travis. r.i.p. little chris. and the bodyguard (don't know his name sorry). holy crap this is getting long. aight. peath out homies.
