I would SO buy you a beer if I was in you're neck of the woods right about now, that truly sucks.

I never would have considered Simple Plan as being "emo" music though, I always though of it as just over processed corporate punk rock... like Good Charlotte. Emo to me was always bands like Dashboard Confessional and the like.

Samples of simple plan.

Yeah. I'd understand if right now you felt like breaking down. Or if you felt out of place. Because it's possible you just don't belong and no one understands you.

See, emo was cool back in the 70s, when it was called glam and involved androgynous young men and women in brightly colored and exaggerated clothing and makeup, copious amounts of drugs, rampant bisexual sex, and fucking awesome rock 'n' roll.

These new kids are just pussies.

This morning, while I was in the waste-disposal area of the store I work in, that "Welcome to My Life" song by Simple Plan came on over the store-wide sound-system. In the torrent of sun-boiled garbage stench, hard work, and scorching temperature, the music was what forced me to hurry up my work and get the fuck out of the section of the store where I could hear it easily.

How fucking awful can music get before the mass-populace catches on and stops buying it?

When it becomes canned music for grocery stores.

I've worked in two seperate grocery store chains in two seperate towns, and I swear to you they had the same satellite channel for music, just on one big loop of all the same goofy love songs that made me want to grab a bread knife and slit my wrists if I heard one more time.

Is there any topic you won't turn into rampent bisexual sex?

Um...no?

*humphumphumphumphump*

Why is there no "jump to page . . ." drop menu???

GAH!

When I was working for Wells Fargo...
I learned the country version of Elton John's Your Song... (When Moulin Rouge was still in theaters.)

Everyday... 5 to 6 days a week. Somewhere between 9 in the morning, 3 in the afternoon, and 6 at night...
It drove me made because it forced me to lip sync it...

I work in the deli. I'm pretty sure that's why they made the music so quiet that it can't be heard around there: Too many sharp things.

Not in the deli I worked in, you could hear it LOUD AND CLEAR.

And what was even worse than the canned music was when the store manager would change the channel over to sports on Saturdays so he could walk anywhere in the store and keep up to date on the game he wasn't able to take the day off and watch. I wanted to KILL someone...

.... and I may be forced to kill someone anyway, because Amazon.com has declined my credit card for a purchase I was about to make, and Capital One has come back and said my card has been maxed out but won't tell me from WHAT purchases.

Of course, but I ought to be careful, since curiosity killed the lion.
Nah, seriously, I was reading the lounge, and it caught my attention, due to the contrast between the grey of the site and white of the caption. I liked it, I laughed.

I'm quite open with things like that.
I've been brainwashed by Americans in such subjects, as in economic ones, or so people around me say.
Although I do use "fag" (or its Spanish equivalent, rather) as a vocative and as an insult. But those are things I try to fight against. Self-control is hard, though.

Yes, it bothered me also. Just replace the number of the page in the url.

i bought a tin of "Sakuma's Drops" Japanese candies for only one sole reason:
It was an integral part of the anime "Grave of the Fire Flies"-- which is a very dramatic anime about a brother and a sister in post war Japan.

It's pretty good, but I got it just to keep the tin box...

In the anime, the little sister loved these candies. And she died (as an orphan), her brother kept her ashes in the tin can...

The film had its short comings (primarily... dialgoue and action, which were turgidly written and a times unrealistic.) But overall, it's a kudos film which is was based on a true story.

There was no way I was gonna leave this opportunity to get my hands on a Sakuma's candy tin...

Thankfully our canned music isn't that bad; they've got some pretty good songs on there, from pretty good artists (either that or I've just got outdated tastes in music). I've heard (just of the top of my head)
Freebird and Sweet Home Alabama-- Lynyrd Skynyrd,
We are the Champions and Bohemian Rhapsody-- Queen,
Only God Knows Why--Kid Rock,
Three a.m. and Real World--Matchbox 20,
Champagne High, All For You, and Change Your Mind--Sister Hazel,
Kryptonite and Be Like That--Three Doors Down,
Smells Like Teen Spirit--Nirvana,
various songs by the Eagles, Bob Seger, et. al.
No Lawrence Welk, Michael Bolton or other assorted crap.

Of course, there's the guy over in electronics that feels the need to drown it out by turning on a boombox and tune it to one of those hip hop stations that like, apparently has a playlist of 22 songs that get played over and over and over and over, or that just all sound alike. Then, crank up the volume so loud that you can barely hear anything but Beyonce singing about Hepatitis or whatever the hell the lyrics to that song are and hear about someone going to Party Like a Rockstar Party Like a Rockstar Party Like A Rockstar t-t-t-Totally Dude to the point that you've memorized more horribly written hip-hop lyrics than any pasty, fat, bespectacled nerd ought to legally be allowed to, then listen as the bass thumps up until the entire building vibrates with such resonance that it can be detected by seismographic equipment in another state while you sit pondering the irony that if there were to be a nuclear apocalypse you would inevitably be stuck with this guy in some stocked concrete bunker somewhere while he listens to the same hip hop station play the same songs by the same station that survived the blast because apparently nuclear fallout has better musical taste than this guy playing that music every single day over and over and over until it occurs to you that THAT'S ESSENTIALLY WHERE YOU ARE AT RIGHT NOW, only with less radioactivity and more industrial sized cases of dog food and adult diapers

..It's annoying to say the least.

Now there's a case for justifiable homicide if I ever heard one.

I finally got access to my recent purchases with capital one, it turns out I actually did manage to max out my credit card, despite my better judgement. :-\

I guess I'm lucky in terms of the music at the places where I work. The comic book store is basically autonomous, and it's between me and my two coworkers what we listen to. And at the university I'm in an office by myself all day and can listen to whatever I want.

Do you already know what you're going to buy?

Also, I decided last year that I wanted to do flash, and I did have a project going, but I still have nothing. I don't know when, if ever, I'll get to it, but I really want to get out my first flash before our new president is sworn in.

A friend of mine is (finally) getting a new PC, one with 1 GB of DDR2 533 Mhz, and a Core 2 duo e4300 (2Mb of shared cache, 1.8 Ghz, 800mhz FSB, speedstep, but no virtualization, but who cares anyway).
But it's for his sister, he's getting a videocard, I don't know which one.

Your lucky Proteas, I just got myself a webcamera.

You all can also check my sexiness now, I have an actual picture.

So that's how you look... it wasn't that far what I was imagining...
although, I though you would have a bowl cut.

Last time I had a bowl cut was like, 5th grade.

My account has a better one though.

My hair was too thick as a kid to get a proper bowl cut... so it looked like I was sporting a mushroom cap.

goddamn mexican hair... I'm growing it long now. But I can't have medium length hair because it grows vertically. Puffy... spongy... So it has to be cut very short or grown very long. It's the most awsome type of hair when you have it long because it's beautiful (very shinny and soft), but to grow it till then means you'll have very unkempt look for a long while. Sort of makes me wish that I hadn't shaved my head or get the mohawks...

I've been using a beanie lately to plaster it against my head... sort of works for a few hours too.

I was watching a sort of documentary on television, about migration from Mexico to the US, and I've come to realize that Argentinian emigrants are weak.
By the way, the State's Cable TV channel is the best I've ever watched.
