Metallica... They're another band that f*in' rocks it hard. They've been at it for at least twenty five years now, and while they've hit a few snags in the road, they're just as good as they ever were.
So the song I've got on now, Fuel, is a little inspirational to me.
I get inspiration from Metallica?
"That guy's definitely done too many drugs", you might be inclined to say...
Maybe I have...
But hard rock/metal really kinda speaks to me. It pumps me up. Fills me with a sort of energy, if you will. I can't put my finger on it, but this music just makes me want to... I dunno.... work. Makes me want to exert a maniacal amount of physical energy. And Fuel is a perfect example of such a song.
Hell, anything by Metallica is good for that, minus the "ReLoad" album. I piss on thee.
Alright, I have to admit something. I'm a fan of the Jonas Brothers....
Before you go calling me a queer, let me defend myself. I watched 'em on SNL last night, as the musical guest. They were in a couple of skits, and, well, they were funny. I think my favorite was with Alec Baldwin playing "the oldest Jonas Brother by two years, Gary Jonas". I have a clip of the skit posted on my Facebook page, so feel free to check 'er out. I'm not gonna tell you all about it.
But suffice to say, aside from Alec Baldwin's always funny stint as guest host on SNL, the Jonas Brothers really made the show. Aside from that, they actually put off a decent musical performance. For three kids who don't do drugs, they sure have a lot of energy. I can see how the girls dig 'em... they definitely play to the crowd, and audience at home. The youngest one kept winking at the camera...
Mind you, I thought it was pretty gay, but that's just what young chicks dig. If the brothers Jonas can manage to update their sound when they get out of their teens (i.e. give themselves a little "edge"), they just may be a force to be reckoned with.
They've also gotta get away from the clutches of the evil Disney Machine.
Speaking of Disney, I miss playing Kingdom Hearts II. That was one of the best games I've ever played. It was produced by Disney, and the guys who are responsible for the mega-popular "Final Fantasy" franchise. For an RPG, the game was really fun to play. I don't generally like RPG's, because I find there's too much shit to do. But KH2 was just amazing. The graphics were amazing, as were the cameo's from an amazing cast of Disney characters... From Aladdin to Simba to Jack Sparrow.
Even Mickey Mouse is in the game.
ummmm.... okay, I'm starting to sound like a retard.
I'm twenty eight years old, and I'm extolling the virtues of a Disney product....
I like Simple Plan. I remember seeing 'em in concert about five or six years ago, and being thourgholy impressed with the guys. High energy, full of crowd pleasing antics.
Unlike Gob, who swore so much they got banned from playing anywhere in Grand Falls ever again.
I've seen some decent concerts in my life... from Great Big Sea to Bryan Adams to Trooper.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen a big name American act. That's a bit of a kick in the pants, actually. I would love to see Green Day or Metallica, or even... I dunno.... Josh Groban.
I got high yesterday.
Before you get all "what the hell did you do that for? you were coming along so nicely" on me, allow me the opportunity to explain myself.
I never ever planned on not smoking it ever again. And while two weeks isn't necessarily a huge gap in between joints, it is to me.
Mind you, I probably won't smoke another one now until god knows when. I've got no desire to do so.
I think, in the back of my mind, that I got high because I wanted to test myself. To be honest, it wasn't that enjoyable. I mean, sure I got that familiar buzz, my eyes glazed over and looked redder than the devil's dick, but did I enjoy that feeling?
Not really.
It definitely made SNL funnier, though. I think I laughed at pretty much every joke.
That's pretty much all pot is good for... Laughter.
It's more or less a piss-poor anti-depressant. However, like all medication, it's bound to dig it's claws deep into your flesh if you abuse it.
And yes, I truly believe pot can be used as a medication. It's a better pain reliever than tylenol. At least pot brings laughter into the equation.
Would I smoke it again? Maybe. More than likely.
But as far as smoking it just for the sake of smoking it, like I did last night? Nope. I came to the realization that pot just shouldn't be an every day, just-for-the-hell-of-it thing. To be honest, if I go between now and August without smokin' a spliff, I would be happy.
We all know it's not likely I will go that long, but I truly do not feel the desire, want, or need to smoke pot now. And I never will again.
I have my education to worry about now.
Hmm... I dunno if worry would be a good word to use there.
Consider?
Yeah, that makes more sense. If I'm going to be somebody, I have to use my mind to it's fullest potential... and constantly smoking pot isn't gonna bring that potential to the forefront.
So yesterday was Valentine's Day. I wouldn't normally lament the fact that I'm single (well yeah, i do that constantly, don't i?)...
umm... So it was V-day... and I don't generally complain about much, but I only got one Valentine yesterday.
Mind you, I very much appreciate it. It came from Julie, my old roomie.
It meant a lot to me. Julie became a very dear and close friend in the time we lived together. I really look forward to seeing her again, and hangin' out with her from time to time.
What I liked about her is that she motivated me. She kept my spirits up while we lived together.... it's kinda funny, because you won't find two completely different people than Julie and I. But we got along perfectly.
I'd like to think it took a bit of work to get her to open up... and I don't blame her for being guarded. She was understandably scared when she moved into the house back in August. She was a good seven or eight years younger than the rest of us.
But Julie is a dear.
I can't wait for August. Six months is a long time to spend doing nothing.... I think I'm gonna start working out. I need to get some muscle on this 6' frame.
I've got looks. I should use 'em. Taking care of myself is gonna open up a whole new world for me.
