Alkaline TrioAquabatsBig D and the Kids TableNOFXRise AgainstThe SoundsTaking Back SundayThursdayThe Vandals those are the ones I most looking forward to seeing this summer.

Stigmata and the fun of the catholic church

So I just watched Stigmata and I gotta say the fact that the catholic church doesn't recognize certain gospels is BS. While I guess I can understand the fact if you just recognize everything you come along you could be getting a whole lot of bogus stuff but I mean shouldn't they atleast put these Gospels out for the public to make their opinion? That movie on the other hand was pretty... ok. They needed to kick out the love story and just go with the dogmatic shit. I know, I know, religion wont sell in Hollywood but come on you're doing a movie with an Arquette, is that gonna sell? So kick that love shit out and just run with the wierdness. Hell, The Exorcist didn't have any love shit besides a priest who loved his mom. Whatever. See that flick and make your own opinion. On a semi-related note, I went to church for the first time in three months tonight. Never been to this church, so as my mom likes to say "make a wish." The priest was a native of ireland...

Christmas in my pocket

Except for my new Record (as in vinyl) player, every gift I got this christmas from my extended family can fit in one pocket. I am not upset about it, hell I love gift cards, I just find it dang funny. But let's forget about that, let's get down to the brass tax. LOVE SONGS who fuckin needs them anymore. I mean nobody is writing anything new. We have rock guys saying the girl is a bitch, or they are in love, or they ruined everything and want her back. We have chicks calling us guys assholes for ruining their lives. We have Rap stars talking about straight up sex and fuck that whole love thing. We have R&B singers who cant string anything original together all and last but not least we have country singers just creeping us out. Now I am not saying I am exempt from writing bad love songs, hell I have written more than my share but seriously what the crap is going on! You know what is ruining it? All this god damn, half ass emo. Some executive at a record label heard We...

So long and thanks for all the nothing

Seriously, I haven't updated this page in forever, and you know what? I dont care. Seriously for the last month I have been thinking my BS-ing is ridiculous and I dont care if you people care. I am reading books and have all these new opinions but I dont feel like sharing them right now. If you really care email me and maybe I will update this page this weekend with more rubbish. Right now I am gonna go watch some Holiday fun. Have a good one. PS I am in a great mood, I just dont want to update this page in this point in time.

All is calm on Midwestern Front

Whats up, Not much here. I am just chillin out rockin the intranet. You know what I love most about having a job now? It's the idea that I can stroll around the net looking at musical gear and think about things I want and now that I have a job I can actually purchase these things. Infact a few things I am considering buying include a moog, some new pickups for one of my guitars and just random this and thats for recording purposes. So I am listening to North To Alaska, I don't understand why these guys broke up. They released this EP called "Everything right now" and I think it rocked. Needed some compression on the vocals, some remixing, and what not but I dug it. Quality rock n roll. Hey remember that test I mentioned? The Eut, the test I needed to pass to stay in the Journalism program here at ISU? Well I didnt pass it. Yeah, that was my last allowable attempt and you need a C to pass, I got a C-. That shit sucks. So tomorrow I am meeting with my advisor and i...

Nervie Gervie

So tomorrow I will find out if I pass the test that allows me to be my major, Journalism. I took this test on grammar. I know what you're all thinking! There is no way I passed that test because there is way too many mistakes on this webpage. You know what man! You're probably right. I am shaking in my boots. I dont know what I'll change my major to if I didn't pass... We'll see, and I'll let you know.

Eating my words

I admit it, I was one of those people who said Kill Bill was going to suck horrible ass. I am totally taking that back. After seeing the movie I must say, that movie kicked so much ass it's hard to describe it. I dont want to give anything away but the filming and portrayol (SP?) of the story was just awesome. The entire movie is just a roller coaster ride. When the movie ends you look at your watch and say "IT'S BEEN TWO HOURS!" But seriously the action is true to life, the blood and guts is quality B Movie stuff and the storyline/script is Tarantino at it's best. One of my favorite things about his movies is how they all that vibe of Characters from the 70s who are magically living in modern times. The colors, the dialogue, the movement, it's all so entirely retro. If you dont like blood, guts, and violence you atleast have to see this movie for the sheer cinematic brillance that it is. I can't say enough good things about this film. But I dont want t...
