A week and a half in one day!

Wow has it really been that long since I posted something on here!?!?! I blame the fine spring air for my absence!!! It would be much easier if My real journal was hooked up to blog. It would update all the time. Of course all would be bored to read my everyday stuff. I just filter and put the stuff on here that may hold interest to my blog. I assure you my filtering system saves all of you who frequent my blog a brain rupture. Your mind would have a melt down of complete boredom and you would shudder in an epileptic fit.

Anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The fine spring air has made me lazy and not wanting to blog. Man I love great weather!!! Here is my good weather dance:

“Cha cha cha!!!!”

Hope you are all well!!! see you next winter!!! nahhhh I will try to stop by sooner then that!!!

again I say,

"Cha cha cha" (Fine air spring dance)

The Brilliance of Melt-Banana!

Every so often you read a book, watch a movie, listen to a band that causes tingles to chill down your spine. This was the case last evening when I got the chance to experience Melt-Banana live. HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an amazing ear piercing, mouth gapping, eye gazing event!! Their speed and accuracy was impeccable, from rapid fire drums to a guitar that bleeds your emotions like a slit throat deer. I was hanging upside down draining in awe last night, excited by the fact that I was 2 inches form the bass player who stood 4'11" and pounded the shit out of a bass that was as tall as her. I was so close I smelt her sweat and shampoo as she snapped her head wildly up and down. They had energy, stamina, strength, style, ideas and brilliant coordination that was displayed perfectly on set.

Thanx DT (I love you) for experiencing it with me!!! I am happy someone did because I start going off to people about how amazing Melt-Banana were and they walk away!! Here in blog world you're a captive audience!!! I have you trapped you until you click free from my gibberish grip that so many people walk away from.

If you do get a chance to see them I advice you do. Even if you don't like the music seeing them perform is a treat of it's own. Sorta like a GWAR show (I am a big GWAR fan) to be sprayed, by fake puss, bile, chunks, maggots, and gallons upon gallons of blood is a wonderfully fun experience. I have been to 3 GWAR shows and you just have to goooo to get red. Ok I digress!! It's the ADD!! Suuuuuuuuuuureee I better get medicated quick!!! I attached Melt-Banana's American tour schedule for your perusing. If you do see them, let me know!! I want to hear how it affected you!!!

p.i.s.s. if you are intrested about their sounds, e-mail me and I will gladly send you an MP3

Biography
Japanese noise rock band Melt Banana found more success in the U.S. and the U.K. than in their own country, gaining a small but dedicated fan base among American and European punk rock fans. Although their music sounds noticeably different from any sort of traditional punk, it contains some punk elements: shrieking vocals, overdriven guitars, and one-and-a-half minute songs. Melt Banana's unique style, however, comes as a result of the distinctly piercing vocals of lead singer Yasuko O. , as well as the frenzied, effect-charged playing of guitarist Agata . Searing, intense, and mind-blowingly fast are perhaps the first adjectives that come to mind when listening to Melt Banana's music. Try to imagine an even more energetic incarnation of the Boredoms . Agata and O. joined bassist Rika in 1992, and in 1994 signed with British label Chocolate Monk. Their one release on that label, titled Cactuses Come in Flocks , was made available at first only on cassette tape. They later signed to Skin Graft and released Speak, Squeak, Creak in 1994, followed by Scratch or Stitch in 1995. Scratch or Stitch was recorded and mixed by Chicago avant-garde masters Steve Albini and Jim O'Rourke , and showcases some of Melt Banana's best work. The band released Charlie in 1998, as well as a live album on John Zorn 's label Tzadik in that same year. Teen Shiny followed in fall 2000. For many, the appeal of Melt Banana is not entirely limited to their music. Yasuko O. 's lyrics and song titles reflect a Japanese pop culture that is unfamiliar, yet attractive to many non-Japanese fans. Melt Banana capitalized on this phenomenon heavily, in their merchandising as well as on their albums. However, it is the band's incredible intensity and furious sound that has gained them the most recognition.

It seems to me I can only get the pretty ones published

So my wife writes for our local newspaper and she has been asking me to submit one of my poems. I submitted the "Bring on Spring" poem that I posted on my blog Thursday marsh 31st. Believe it or not I have been published (diffrent publication then the newspaper) and was paid for several of poems in the past, but only the pretty ones. People only seem to like/want the Hallmark card poems. The uplifting positive spin that are written with easy adjectives and simplistic perspective. I find happiness in depression and confusion , I know there are more people out there like me. Ohh well just wanted to share my little bit of pressed print. Sorry for the crap scan.

Cheers!!

When Rebekah!!!!!!!!!!!!! said "Nap Club"

A great book I dedicate to the one and only Rebekah!!!!!!!!!!!!! This needs to be the nap club official manual!!!!

Tatter Tots to let you know is the second place answer!!! So everyone give props to the Weenie queen BOU!!!! Nice work!!!!

A split second ode to Bookend and Corn Dogs!!

Crispy, crunchy, meaty, greasy, oily, slimy, slippery, tasty, corny, lovely, crumbly, happy, smiley, wonderfully, gratefully, hearty, thankfully, Monday was great because of you two.

Now for some interactive “Survey Says” fun for all of my fabulous blog friends!!!!!

What side dish is best with corn dogs?

Winner of the number 1 answer gets a trophy on blog-o-sphere!!!!!!!!

My guess was “Bananas” yes bananas!!! your fellow blogger BM is an idiot!! This is true and should not come as a surprise to you. Needles to say, BM didn’t win the trophy. DT guessed the winning side dish which accompanied our corndogs. He can’t play because he already won!! Good luck and I love you all!! I wish to kiss each one of you like Richard Dawson used to do. Then hand out Tootsie Roll pops. Such sweet love!! Happy guessing!!!

BM offers a random “Who gives a fuck” Moment

As I get older and my hair grows thin I notice how awkward my hair looks on my balding head. Almost as it doesn’t belong, like a weave, plug, GLH Formula 9 spray, or a comb over would. I am not going to try to prolong the inevitable with gels, creams, shampoo, massagers, Didi 7 that proclaim they promote hair growth. (ok maybe not didi 7, but it would remove any unwanted port wine stains) That is not my style. I am in transition and I am going to accept my fate. That is why last night I shaved my shit. No to the skin, the core of my design. Just a really close stubble for my skull to shine.

This random “Who gives a fuck” moment was brought to you by Wahl shavers. Clipping them down for a long long time! (I gots to get me a job in advertising)

Why you can’t rehabilitate a pedophile

Close your eyes and try imagining someone trying to rehabilitate you into liking little boys. Will you like little boys with enough treatment?

NO, I doubt it.

This is not your preference.
A pedophile can’t be made to change his fancy from little boys to grown women or men.
As I can not be rehabilitated to fancy men.

Sure there are exceptions to the rule, but why are people so goddamn surprised when a pedophile becomes a 2nd or 3rd offender?!?!? This is what they have the hots for. I don’t think you can change what people are sexually attracted to.
