ah, calming blue...

alright, now i hope that most of you agree that chris rock is probably one of the funniest people alive today, i think he is. i just got done watching his latest standup on hbo, HOLY SHIT it was SO funny! He does this thing were he talks about marriage and shit, oh my god i thought i was gonna die! he mentioned something about the symbolism of the bride throwing the flowers...hahahahaaa....i'm cracking up again just thinking about it! for those of you at mrs. bunwells' (yes, MRS.) wedding you would understand, well maybe just schwee and possibly bobanna. i'm gonna tape it when it comes on again, in about an hour...gotta love satellite tv!

So, i was just listening to modest mouse, they're on "the end's top 10" and they're #10 tonight with 'the ocean breaths salty'. I remember a story that i heard them tell about modest mouse on the end like a couple of weeks ago. evidently at a show they were doing the lead singer was being a total jerk and was "mocking his sudden celebrity" saying shit like they were only gonna play one more song and that was fucking it and the crowd would just have to deal with it. (THE END's dj thought that was funny-the dumbass) well, i'm happy to say that he was just kidding around and the band ended up doing like 4 encores. but, my problem is this...ok, i know modest mouse has been around for a long time and the guy is like "what the fuck? we've been around forever and people are JUST liking us now?" he probably feels like this is kind of selling out in a way. i just want to say...FUCK HIM if that's what he thinks. he needs to stop acting like the poor misunderstood artist and BE FUCKING GREATFUL to all of these people who have discovered his music and now like the band. and let me ALSO say that the only reason that his songs are getting played more than they have in the past is that his songwriting took a MAJOR turn and he rose to a higher level. there are thousands and thousands of bands that would LOVE AND KILL to have modest mouse's kind of success, even the success they had before this last album. The lead singer/songwriter for the band should get over his little problem or i might just lose a taste for modest mouse, even though i think this last album is AMAZING and HEY i'm one of the people who JUST jumped on the modest mouse bandwagon! i've heard their old stuff, i used to spin their records back up at western on the radio, but they've become something more thanks to their good songwriting on this last album "good news for people who like bad news" and i hope they don't keep acting like little bitches and just enjoy the fucking ride...i know i would. the whole "we don't need you people" act needs to fucking go, quick...kurt's dead and his deal was real, modest mouse is from "the quah" not aberdeen probably the most depressing town i've EVER been in. life's not that bad, as their amazing song "float on" says...

ok, sorry about that little rant. i don't do it too often. anyways, wow i'm back. i've written for two days consecutively! WOO! go me. yeah, so i start my next internship tomorrow. i still haven't talked to the guy i'll be interning under, but i guess i get to meet him tomorrow. should prove interesting. OH, did anybody know that i'm working on becoming a football ref? i'm in an apprenticeship program with the local union here and i'll be a line-judge for youth football soon. so yeah, i'm out there working with the schools and the school programs. good times...

alright. so, not much else is on my feeble mind at the moment. i still haven't got around to reading my nirvana book, there's been too much going on here. HOWEVER, i have checked out a few books on cider brewing and i think i'm going to try my hand at it sometime this fall...that's gonna be cool.

so, yeah. i'm out.

i'll talk to ya'll bitches later...
