[hey hey were the funkies you know we like to funky around]
so what do you do when the person in the cubicle the next row over from yours is a complete idiot? and he speaks LOUDLY. And judging by the number of personal calls he makes (girlfriend, mother, cable guy, friends, national park service, the recycling company, movie tickets, concert tickets, etc etc etc) he never does any work. but thats not the worst part, the worst part is he is a movie know-it-all...but hes wrong about everything. No matt damon was not in fight club, no the song in young frankenstein is puttin on the ritz, not singing in the rain, no jude law is not nick cage's brother in lord of war, thats jared leto. GAH.
i have to sit there everyday listening to him yammer on and on and on...and i want to shoot myself.
and because i like lists, here is a list of little known bands that i absolutely love. most of it is punk or ska, maybe some electronica?
anyway here goes, in no particular order.
1. Audio Karate
2. Dillinger 4
3. The Lawrence Arms (actually pretty well known)
4. The Aquabats
5. Midtown
6. Reggie and the Full Effect
7. Big D and the Kid's Table
8. Brand New (also kinda well known)
9. The Vandals
10. The Suicide Machines
I would suggest that if youre one of the 3.14 people who read this you dl a few of the random songs from some of these. I like em, and that should be plenty of reason to.

[parker, peter parker]
so in all honesty i enjoyed spider-man 3. i thought it was a good movie (not great) and the overall best spidey flick. however......
WHAT THE SHIT WERE YOU THINKING RAIMI?
sam sam sam, you got so much right with this one. spidey finally moved like an acrobat instead of a cardboard cutout, the writing was better, the bruce campbell cameo was well done, the cgi didnt make me want to staple my eyelids to the theater chair in front of me, the costume is looking better, both black and the red and blues, and the actors are finally portraying their comic book counterparts well.
but there was so much wrong with it too, so here, is my small list of complaints.
1. Gwen Stacy didnt die.. thats the fucking point of gwen stacy, shes supposed to die to push spider-man that much farther..... theres no other reason for her existence! the whole, make mj jealous plot was lame without a death involved.
2. the symbiote didnt act alive after it first attached itself to peter. the suite is a living creature, would a dog allow itself to be locked in a box? hell no itd bust outta that shit.
3. the sandman killed ben parker? thats a fucking stupid idea. if you wanted to mix some shit up make venom kill gwen stacy instead of green goblin, there thats also a twist on the original story...but a good one, not a retarded one.
4. venom never referred to himself as venom... or said "we" as in "We dont hurt innocents"... speaking of which, venom is not supposed to hurt innocents, so he wouldnt have allowed trucks and stuff to be falling everywhere with a huge crowd nearby.
5. tobey mcguire was fat. theres no such thing as spider-pudge, trust me i checked with stan lee.
6. oh yeah eddie brock? hes supposed to be a weightlifter... a The Rock, or a Vin Diesel. not a that 70s show pussbag.
well i think thats about everything i really had.... sorry if i was rough on you spider-man, but this is coming from someone who voraciously collected all the venom/ symbiote suit comic books way back in the day. and read them all. like crazy.
and yeah i still think x-men 2 is the best super-hero movie evar.
... at least until watchmen comes out!

dear douchebag,

see relatedNeasbey Knights
the other day i admonished myself for not writing in this dilly-dally as often as i used to. so here goes!!!! TO THE EXTREEEEEEME*Metal Noise*
so thank the fucking christ, i no longer am commuting to indiana every morning at 6. now im driving a cool 20 minutes to lombard. I also am much busier, and am learning new things.
here this will help paint my work day before and after:
Woking in the field in indiana:
1. I have 15 minutes worth of adding columns to an excel spreadsheet.
2. try to look busy the rest of the day without using the internet for non-work related purposes.
3. drive home bone ass tired, either ready to cry or shoot someone. or shoot someone while crying. or just use needle drugs.
4. i go to bed around 9:30
now see the amazing difference!
Working in the office in lombard:
1. I am given a project by one of two people who actually show an active interest in giving me things to do.
2. I am given guidance by any of the 5 other stress engineers.
3. I either finish my project and receive a new one, or i get a new one before im ready and have to kick my ass into gear.
4. i drive home and want to talk to my girlfriend on aim, watch movies, and play videogames.
5. i go to bed at 11.
so this weekend should be kicks, brians on his way over right now, i got borat in the mail from netflix, and tomorrow is mikey ks grad partay. it should be a truly excellent adventure.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd next weekend tabstar is coming to visit, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnd were gonna watch spidey 3. i think i just came a little thinking about it. really i did.
ive been less moist fo sho.
