holy hell

a roadie somewhere on the way to tucson wearing cowboy boots and shades. the sun sets behind a cactus. at least that's the design on his shirt.
greenman and an old chair. the chair creaks every time its sat on.
a man and a woman run towards us. they are wearing the clothes of a bum. a bum from the fifties.
a bear attempts to get to a beehive.
a steel chair. this chair was actually used in an episode of wwe smackdown. fyi. that's a wrestling show.
a large glass container. in it a brain. next to the brain, a dwarf in a brown jacket and dockers. he is also sporting recently shined shoes. the dwarf is sitting on the ground reloading his revolver. behind the dwarf a large, dark, ominous creature lurks.
a killer whale fights a great white shark.
a smirking mouth, the eye of ra, a regular chocolate m&m, a peanut m&m, and a 3D box.
the profile of an androgynous figure with huge sideburns.

Beavis is an idiot

This one time I convinced this ugly kid I worked with that he looked like Justin Timberlake. At first he thought I was bullshitting him, which I was, but then I started pulling stuff out of my ass and he bought it. I told him they had the same bone strutcture, the same ears, the same haircut, and whatever else I thought up. At one point he was asking people we worked with if they thought he looked like J.T. I don't remember what they all said to him except for this girl Raquel. Raquel came up to me, laughing, and said the ugly kid, whose name happened to be Justin, came up to her and asked her if he looked like J.T. She said, "A little in the chin."

Another time I told him girls like when guys dress as cowboys. On one of his days off he came into the store in full attire. I was amazed. Now this guy wasn't slow or anything he was just dumb and extremely gullible. Another time I got him to call me a f^ggot in front of a customer. I probably went too far there.

Oh, and this kid also happened to look like Beavis.

I'd been looking forward to getting a new toothbrush all day. After a worthless drive to Pacifica and San Mateo, I got one.

Yesterday I went by Aardvark Books over on Church and I found a copy of Henri-Pierre Roché's Jules and Jim. I'd been trying to track down a used copy for a while and just happened to stumble upon one as I browsed the bookstore. I do have to say Francois Truffaut's film version is probably one of my favorite films, if not my favorite.

My absentee ballot has been sitting in my room for a few days. I need to get a stamp.

If I were to stick my old roommate's head in a bathtub full of water, how long would it take for him to drown?

Why does TRL have to come to an end?

Is it so bad that I've taken up John Mayer recently?
Not at all.
At least it's not the Jonas Bros.
Maybe I'll check them out next.
Actually, no. That will never happen.

According to Woody Allen, once a guy is initiated into the mafia he is forbidden from ever whacking someone by the name of Vito.

More people need to listen to International Superheroes Of Hardcore.
And Maylene and the Sons of Disaster.
Maybe even some Mêlée.
I could go for some Henry Mancini right now.

There's moments you look forward to in your day. While some should have more value placed on them, I find the smaller insignificant ones are what I wake for. Then there's those shared moments when you wonder if the other values them as much as you. Probably not.

All About Esther

There's a subtlety about Esther Phillips' voice that just stands out to me. It's weird because her voice is unique and smokey. There's nothing really subtle about it. Sometimes before or in between tracks Esther feels the need to just have a conversation with you and she goes off. She'll either talk to the ladies or just go off on a man.
Unlike Aretha Franklin or Billie Holiday, Esther makes you feel what she's feeling. It's as though she lets you in. Overall, she is amazing.
