currently listening to...

i don't find myself to be a cynical person. there are, however, some things that really irritate me, and sadly a few things definitely come out during the holiday season. is it just me, or is christmas music absolutely terrible? i can't say every christmas song sucks; i've always been a fan of the little drummer boy, and i had an awesome version of santa baby ft. snoop dogg, onyx, and other rappers on this lame christmas cd from about a decade ago. but that's about it. the king sings carols? terrible. amy grant sings her favorite holiday classics? i just puked in my mouth. i wish i didn't feel this way, because the christmas holiday's awesome. christmas lights are cool, giving gifts, putting a conifer tree in your house!! is totally awesome.

i've also determined i can't stand people that have accessories for the outside of their cars. best example i can give are those redneck conservative dicks who have to proove their masculinity by dangling balls on the back of their gigantic trucks. i know balls dangle - i have a pair - but i don't need to be reminded about it while driving in my car. one time i saw a guy that had balls on his truck, and a set of longhorns on the top of his cab. i don't know anything else about that guy, but i guarantee we would not get along. and today, in the spirit of the holidays and my disgust towards car accessories, i noticed a car with reindeer antlers coming out of the windows, and i couldn't help but mutter to myself, "you have got to be fucking kidding me." oh, a car that's a reindeer. i get it. very clever.

not to sound bitter during this entire blog, i must say i am excited about christmas coming up. i am sad i won't be with any family this year. that's never happened. i decided not to go to lubbock for christmas with my bro, and my parents have to stay in china for my dad's job. i do, however, have plans to spend christmas eve at the nelsen's, a cross hybrid holiday celebrating the awesomeness of catholic christmas and jewish hanukkah. we'll have lobster bisque, probably eat some pork loin or something else that is equally dank, and finish the night playing win, lose, or draw. and i'll be spending christmas night at my irish neighbor's house. naimh and noel are super cool, good cooks, and always have a good selection of beer and appertifs. and their kids, oisin, aoife, and eoin are also pretty cool too. i'm hoping to play some wii with oisin, maybe take him down in mario strikers or wii boxing. yeah that'd be fun.

i updated my ipod today. unfortunately my ipod (nano) is only 4gigs, so i'm not able to have all my music on it. so i have to pick and choose. gone is radiohead's amnesiac, justice's cross, daft punk's alive 2007, dave's before these crowded streets, two mogwai albums, two muse albums, white stripes' elephant, and brett's 80's mix vol. 1. that's a lot of really good music i took off, but sacrifices must be made. added is yeah yeah yeah's fever to tell, tom petty's wallflowers, beta band's 3 ep's, cunninlyguists' dirty acres, hendrix' are you experienced?, joanna newsom's ys, mars volta's frances the mute and tremulant, muse's showbiz, people under the stairs' o.s.t., blackalicious' blazing arrow, and modest mouse's the lonesom crowded west and the moon and antarctica. that's also a lot of really good music. man, i need a more spacious ipod. hmm, never thought i'd say that.

job searches suck with such a depressing economy. yeah, fuck job searching. i'm going to boulder, new music in hand.

hit you with the funk, it's like who cut the provolone.

current music: blackalicious - "paragraph president"
