my judgement on the gray album might have been a little rushed. after listening a lil more with the mates, it isnt that bad. the sound quality is lacking (due to excessive copying), but if it were cleaned up nice it would no doubt be respectable. my apologies dangermouse.

i got the highly controversial 'gray album' the other day off ebay. for those who dont know its jay-z songs from his black album, mixed with beats from the beatles white album. i guess its a big deal because of some copywright issue. after listening to it however, i think there might be another motive for stopping the distribution of it. it is absolutely terrible. if i were jay-z or any of the beatles i wouldnt want my good music to be ruined like that. especially not by a guy named Dangermouse.

at work when i get bored and have nothing to write about, i generally look around on the internet for things to buy. my latest idea was to buy a celtics jersey. i was going to either buy a tony battie jersey cause hes my tatoo brother, or a walter mccarty jersey because i like saying wahlta mccahty and hes number 0. after getting off the phone with the lady at the official celtics store, it turns out you can only get paul pierce or lary bird jerseys. how stupid is that.

i several girls yesterday that i hadnt in a long while due to a break up by association (see seinfeld). one of them in particular, i hate. she, her friends, and mine, have all asked me on different occassions why i didnt like this girl, and at the time i couldnt come up with any response. i think this is because i didnt really hate her. but i do now. this morning i made a mental pros and cons list (actually just a cons list) to determine if my dislike was warranted. here goes my justification of my intense dislike for this girl.

it bothers the shit out of me when people ask you directly if or why you hate them. this girl does that atleast 5 times each time i am around her. shell do it until i snap and then wonder why i did. also she (it would appear) takes no responsibility for our relationship. for example, i hadnt seen her in awhile and she came to my apartment. during one of the aforementioned interogations regarding my hatred, she pointed out that i hadnt even said hi when she came in. and that was true. however, why is it my responsibility to watch the door for new people to come in? she couldnt have said hi to me? im not exactly paying attention to details when im drunk at a party either. another annoying habit she has is shell blow things out of proportion and wonder why no one else (the guys anyway) cares. heres another example. kinlin, st louis, myself, and maybe even hamel, were discussing [insert ridiculous topic, i.e. politics, united states foreign policy, stereotypes, celebrities, etc]. after getting bored with that, we kept drinking. however, this girl wouldnt let a few random statements go. i dont often back down from arguments, especially in my defense, so i weaved a web of inpenatrable logic that i thought no one would be able to refute. to my dismay, she still didnt understand, and i got bored with her and gave my attention to something else. muttered under her breath, though plenty loud for many to hear (like me), "i just think its funny how much you guys think you know, when you dont know shit". this statement alone is enough to make me hate her based on the following reasoning. anyone who knows me, reads this website, or both, should understand that the following words are rarely to be taken literally: never, always, the best, the worst, none, all, hate, love, etc. despite what i write and say, there are not that many things i have a passionate enough opinion about to use these superlatives literally. im an apathetic jokemaker. the fact that she has hung out with me/us many times makes me think that she will never understand that and consequently, i hate her and the way she acts/thinks/lives. congratulations, youve made me hate you. and now i have an answer for when you ask why.

if it were up to me, it would have been bobby jones on that cross, not jesus. maybe jesus could have freed us from our sins, and then bobby couldve done the crucifiction part. i guess i would settle for never seeing him in a redsox uniform ever again.

there should be some kind of mercy killing rule for those deemed a burden on society. the lady sitting in front of me on the bus, not only required the bus driver to walk her to her seat, but also to move her bag (which she had been carrying) from the seat onto the floor. in a loud and obnoxious voice she then commanded the poor girl in front of her to turn on the light directly above her head. aside from being completely useless, she was loud, unfriendly, and smelled intensely of cheese. it was easily the strongest most eye watering cheese aroma that anyone could ever imagine. if you arent independent enough to move your own bag or turn on your light (both within arms reach) then you probably shouldnt be riding a bus by yourself. i agree with jeff riley in his latest post, that seatbelt and motorcycle helmet laws should be eliminated. we need to stop protecting the stupid. natural selection baby ... the world has relied on it for hundreds of millennia, why should we try to circumvent the system now? it just doesnt make sense.
