I also really enjoy the lunachicks. pretty ugly a fantastic album. Granted I’d probably rather listen to the muffs or something usually, but the lunachicks are still awesome. Theo’s voice is grand. I should have gone to see her new band the other day, but I was lazy.

I enjoy lots of music, not just the muffs. I also really enjoy Shonen Knife. something about their songs just makes me happy. perfectly crafted pop goodness wrapped up in cute-japanese-girl vocals. female fronted/all female punk/pop punk bands are fucking grand, and Shonen Knife is arguably the best of the bunch. Well maybe Go Sailor is the best, but seeing as Shonen Knife has more than one album (as fantastic as the Go Sailor album may be) gets them the nod.

wake up everybody! it’s now happy hour! wake up! it is now happy hour!

and similar bands. like cub.

thats all

actually thats not all. I wish I could start a band like the muffs. sadly I am not a sexy lady. my voice will forever be doomed to a life of ultimate bad. but someone should start a band with me anyway. we will be fantastic.

i have posted for band members on craigslist now probably 462 times to no avail. craigslist sucks, except the thunder, who i met on there. the thunder is gold. but i want to sing in my own band, con sarnit.

oh well, at least I have that band. we play with altgeld forgotten a lot. if you ever go to an altgeld show, make them play my way. its golden.

Because you should. www.wemakethunder.com

We played at Subterranean in Chicago recently. Pictures will be put up when I’m not lazy. Also I actually update that site once in a while. Check it out.

I have come to the conclusion that I will never be able to start a band with people, because I guess nobody wants to play songs written and sang by a dumbass (yet bands like ’The Killers’ exist…) so instead I am going to start my own one-man band. We will never play live, for obvious reasons. All I need to do is find a cheapo guitar and drumset. Oh, and learn how to play both of those. And I guess I should learn how to actually play bass one day. And maybe learn to sing on key.. Where was I? Oh yes, everyone sucks but me.

I drew a picture of what the band will be like:

Truly, it will be the greatest band ever. It will be simple songs played in an energetic manner. In other words, played awesomely.

We will be playing country-fried versions of all our hits. Be there, or something. You can see the image I ripped off by clicking here.

I love Kid Icarus. I want there to be another Kid Icarus game, I don’t care if it’s for Wii or Gameboy Advance or DS, just something Kid Icarus, and quick. Playing it on the Wii Virtual Console, it reminds me of just how awesome (and hard) the game is. I’m not a very good writer, and nothing I write can do justice to the awesomeness of Kid Icarus, but I am writing this anyway for some reason.

ICARUS FIGHTS MEDUSA ANGELS
Kid Icarus is the story of Pit, the lovable hero of Angel Land, off to save the lovely Palutena from the evil clutches of Medusa, the Goddess of Darkness. As Pit, it is your mission to run, jump, fly, and shoot your way to the heavens to defeat the terrible Medusa once and for all. Along the way you meet some very strange enemies, ranging from Grim Reapers to Monoeyes to uh..Eggplant Wizards

I have no idea what they were thinking

So you fight your way through a bunch of crazy levels full of pits and enemies and all sorts of other badness. You start out in the Underworld, and climb your way up to the Overworld, which behaves a lot more like a platformer, going left to right instead of bottom to top. Fight your way through the Overworld (which has the best music in the game, in my opinion) to the Sky World, where you are again climbing from bottom to top, finally arriving in The Palace in the Sky! Equip your Sacred Treasures that you got from beating the fortresses in the previous three worlds and go save the lovely Patulena! Oh, did I forget to mention the Fortresses?

The Underworld, Overworld, and Sky World are all made up of 4 levels, the regular 3 levels that are all the same, and a fourth level, the crazy Fortress levels (first time I saw one I had no idea what was going on). Instead of just climbing your way up (or to the right) as in the previous levels, the Fortress levels are made up of a crazy grid, you can go left, right, up, or down through the myriad of different rooms, trying to find the boss of the 3 different worlds to get your Sacred Trasures. This is where you meet the Eggplant Wizards. Seriously, I have no idea what was going on in their heads when they created those guys. The Eggplant Wizards walk around throwing eggplants at you, and if you get hit by one, for some reason you also turn into an eggplant. Yeah. If that happens, your only hope is go find the nurse or priestess or whatever it is to heal you.

Witty comment

The game is ridiculously hard at some points, yet ridiculously awesome at just about all points (except for being eggplanted. What a pain in the ass.) Well no, actually that’s cool too, the first time it happens. It’s when it happens over and over again that it gets frustrating. Anyway, the game is well worth it for anyone with a Wii looking for a nice challenge.

One day I would like to get this as a tattoo. Don’t be hatin’

Long story short, it is a great game. This little post does not do it justice. For a much better look into Angel Land, check out Flyingomlette’s Kid Icarus Shrine where I stole most of these images and information from because I am lazy.

The sun is out, but I don’t really want some. I am lazy. It is much more comfortable to me to be sitting here typing a post on my website and biting my nails. I just made lasagna. If anyone wants to know how to make my amazing lasagna, you can click here. Ignore the comments. People seem to like to bitch about every possible thing, ever. Who gives a fuck if I use cottage cheese instead of ricotta? Oh yeah, assholes do. I couldn’t call them assholes on those comments, even though I wanted to, so I am doing it here. Assholes. I am watching concerts on the cable on demand thing. Currently I am listening to Bon Jovi. Awesome. I might check out the Green Day or They Might Be Giants ones later. Or I might not. I have so many videogames to play. Ah, videogames, my addiction. I guess it’s better than a drug or alcohol addiction. Don’t get me wrong, I like alcohol, but I don’t let it take over my life. Livin’ on a Prayer is a great song. I used to listen to it when we were kids and we would go to the bar with my parents. We would always play it on the jukebox. Bon Jovi is getting old. So am I. Getting older sucks. I am finally taking a college course, so one day I can be a teacher. It will be sweet, even though I won’t be able to afford to finish school probably for years. I can’t wait until I can get that new bass and start my new band. It will be sweet. We Make Thunder is playing a country show on Feb 18th. If anyone reads this that wants to come, leave a comment or something. We had practice yesterday, and as good as I think the songs are in their regular form, they are fucking ridiculous as country songs, yet they are incredible. Fuck, playing songs is fun. I decided to turn off the Bon Jovi thing. I am going to go get a glass of diet pepsi and play some videogames. Excellent.

I am sitting here watching Good Eats and drinking Stroh’s, waiting for water to boil so I can have macaroni and cheese for dinner, and it struck me as I was standing in the kitchen: I am in no way ‘punk rock’

I like some of the music, but generally it’s more of the poppy stuff. I don’t give half a damn about politics. I work data entry. I like to cook more than to fight or drink. And on top of that, frankly, I would rather stay at home and playing video games than go to a punk rock show. I don’t like people that are loud and obnoxious, and I am a quiet individual myself. The only times I’ve ever been in fights, I have been the loser, mainly because I don’t fight back. I think the Dead Kennedys suck. I want to have a family in the future. I want to be able to work and save my money rather than spend it all on drugs or whatever. If i had a choice between buying a bunch of 7″ records for fifty bucks, or buying a role playing game, I would choose the latter probably 98% of the time. I don’t like to be hurt physically. I don’t like to hurt people physically. I really don’t care if I ever dye my hair blue again. I really don’t care that I have to dress ‘business casual’ for work. My doc martens are pretty uncomfortable. I want to finish college and become a teacher. I don’t want to be in my 30s and working a dead end job by day and spending my nights out partying and drinking all night. I want to actually be able to sing instead of act all snotty if i were to sing in a band. I want to drive a reliable car instead of a beat up old van (a reliable van would be pretty sweet though). I don’t have many friends, and that doesn’t really bother me all that much. I drink cheap beer not because it makes me cool, but because I can’t afford anything better, and my tastebuds have become accustomed to drinking Stroh’s. I don’t want to drink PBR anymore because that’s what people that are trying so hard to be cool and punk and act poor are drinking nowadays. I have no problem shopping at big-box stores. I drink diet soda. I have never done and will never do a beer bong. I don’t do drugs, but I hate the straightedge movement. Reading Bridge to Terabithia makes me cry every time and I don’t care if people want to call me ‘emo’ because of it. If I were spit on at a concert while on stage or in the crowd, I wouldn’t spit back or fight them, I would probably just leave the crowd or get off the stage. I really don’t care that people shop at Hot Topic. I ordered a pink bass guitar not because it might make me look unique and cool, but because I think it’s cute. I am usually in bed by 10:00 or 11:00 at night, and that really doesn’t bother me. I think most zines suck. I think most ‘punk’ bands suck. I think most ‘punks’ suck.

My macaroni and cheese is done so I guess that’s about it.
