I’m So Depressed

I'm pretty buzzed right now so excuse me if I ramble on and make a bunch of typos. But I really am more depressed than I've been in a long time so I did a few shots of Jaeger. In my early 20's I used to do about five shots of Jaeger just to get the night started but it's been several years since I've done even one. I have to admit I gagged doing them tonight. Guess I'm out of practice. And no, the depression is not because Lost had its season finale and it will be nine months until there's a new episode. I'm actually trying to hold off on watching the finale as long as humanly possible ...

Dream Overanalysis

I always begin my sleep with a nice little fantasy. I mention this because I learned a couple years ago that not everybody does so. Some people put their head on the pillow and think about their day or what they have to do the next day. That seems like a lousy way to spend your downtime. I don't know if there's a correlation, but from the people I've discussed this with, the ones who start with a fantasy seem to be better sleepers. It's something for you restless worrywarts to consider. So I have a catalog of fantasies that I rotate. The usual stuff: career goals, wild adventures and of course romance are a few. For a long time ...

Kids Love Cheek-A-Boo

When I heard the little ones chose Green Day for top Kids Choice Awards, I thought, "Those kids have great taste." But that taste was called into question by another favorite of theirs, Lindsay Lohan. Now comes this photo of Lohan at the awards ceremony and it sheds a bit of light on their selection: What six-year-old doesn't like a nice piece of ass? Let's all call the FCC and complain about this "wardrobe malfunction." We have to get this garbage off the airwaves- there could be children watching. Oh wait... (This is my 100th post in "People are Idiots." ...

Blog Updates

Posted in Blog, Blogging, Green Day
I thought some of the regular readers might want updates on past blogs... Arrested Development: The word today is that ABC and Showtime are interested in buying the show (if Fox ever officially cancels it). There IS hope!!! Kazakhstani journalist Borat Sagdiyev: After the country of Kaz threatened to sue Sascha Baron Cohen (Da Ali G Show), he posted the following statements on his Borat character's website: I like to state I have no connection with Mr. Cohen and fully support my government's decision to sue this Jew. Since the 2003 reforms, Kazakhstan is as civilized as any other country in the world. Women can now travel on inside of bus, homosexuals no longer have to wear blue hats and age of ...

Bullet in a Bible Hollywood Premiere

Before I mention THEM again, let me explain my little obsession. I don't even know if you could call it an obsession. I don't have their t-shirts or other paraphernalia, I don't take free stickers and posters when offered and I don't keep the tickets from their concerts (well, not intentionally- I'll have to check the purses I carried). It's about the music, in particular, American Idiot. I can't really explain it. American Idiot just grabbed me and shook me hard. "Holiday" isn't just a song- it's an anthem. It's rare for any artistic endeavor to truly excite me but this did to a whole new level. Green Day inspired me like nothing ever has before. Seeing how much they'd grown as ...

Just “1 Friends” On MySpace

A couple weeks ago, my friend Doug invited me to join MySpace.com. Normally I'd disregard such an invitation because I got my fill of instant messages from creepy strangers in the early days of AOL. But for some reason, Doug sent my invite to an old email address I'd all but forgotten about and I happened to check it and find Doug's invite the same day Green Day was premiering their "Jesus of Suburbia" video only on MySpace. I figured it must be some sort of sign I was supposed to be a part of the MySpace community and joined. I thought MySpace was a place to meet and interact with new people. I quickly learned it's some sort of sick ...

Fucked up Perspective

When I decided I absolutely had to buy Green Day's American Idiot album, I was on the road and stopped at the first store I thought might carry it: Wal-Mart. I couldn't find it on the shelves so I asked a salesperson who told me they don't sell albums with "explicit lyrics." The fact that Wal-Mart sells bullets but won't carry music with profanity is perfectly logical because we've all read the statistics on how many kids die each year from the word "fuck." It really is amazing to me that America, the land of the free, still has such screwed up priorities. Howard Stern has been practically forced off the public airwaves, while Tom Leykis gets to propagate misogynism to ...

Twice Green Day Blew Me…

Posted in Blog, Green Day
...away. So I thought my first real post should be about something fun I've done and right now, it doesn't get much better for me than seeing Green Day. Sure, over the years I enjoyed their songs about smoking pot and masturbating as much as anybody, but then I heard their current album American Idiot. It's a brilliant rock opera with catchy tunes, and lyrics with real substance- an ambitious attempt that actually succeeds. I was blown away the first time I heard it and suddenly ...
