My beagle, Louie, died last Tuesday. We nick-named him Loudini because of his ability to escape from his cage. I am crying.

People I hate this morning in no particular order: God (for creating trannies), Spaniards (for sailing all over the goddamned place and helping settle the US, which eventually got us DC where trannies race), people who have parties in their houses on Tuesday nights, whomever invented the heel, bars that have live music on the same Tuesday nights, bartenders who pour with heavy hands while live music is at bars, people who get the great idea to drive across town, people who kick the insides of other people’s windshields out while on the drive across town rocking out to Metallica’s Blackened on cassette tape, people who leave a table full of goddamned half-drunk alcohol, people who think it’s a good idea to sit at that table and consume the rest of that alcohol, whichever fuck invented Karaoke, the same guy (above – he gets hated twice, no, wait, different guy) who drives from NE to SE (or W) to drop windshield kicker off then back to NW to drop me off, so that I then have to drive back to NE to drop someone else off and then back to NW to go home, whomever invented work, the people who hired me, and everyone else.

P.S. Eddie – I want my Metallica tape back. I just got the goddamned thing yesterday.

eddie – you think Metallica sucks? Kindly spend the rest of the afternoon running over your own face with a lawnmower, Radioheadboy.

eddie Says:

No girl sat in your front seat, remember? We sat in the back while you chauffered us around like a bitch.

Kings of ballsucking.

Amanda Says:

Alex Nicholson Says:

Jeff – my dog Louie died last year. I also callled him Loudini. He’d escape anything. So sorry.

October 29, 2008 at 2:50 pm
Michael Says:

Cale – true. That and we have taste.

October 29, 2008 at 3:02 pm
eddie Says:

metallica? seriously? not you, william (i hope).

and svet, your dad does rock. i was impressed that he just landed and started knocking back pivo like it was nothing.

pedro Says:

I’d like to formerly apologize to: the Kings of Leon, Eddie’s Windshield, fans of Chris Cornell, my neighbors for watching Supernatural really loud at 4am while eating a bag of cheese, and various homeless women I tried to turn into Debbie Harry by making out with them. In closing I’d like to say that I had fun, am very grateful for the ride, and hope to never see you psychos again as long as I live.

@Alex Nicholson

And I sir, am sorry for your loss as well. Thank you!

John Foster Says:

The only band I despise more than Kings of Leon is The Hold Steady. Both of them make me wretch within the first two notes of hearing them. My hatred could run for days so I will stop before it overtakes me.

When I was 19 I hated whatever bands were standing in that slot as well so don’t blame it on my receding (or outright disappearing) hairline. I resent being force fed acts like that under the premise that I would like them if I enjoyed the 20 other acts playing on the “indie” channel. To put it in perspective, when hfs would play The Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen and Midnight Oil (all pretty “mainstream” alternative) and follow it with Pearl Jam it was obvious which one of those acts should be on a different station and playlist. Fucking Sirius and Left of Center runs these bumpers about being “where groundbreaking music lives” (or some shit like that) and then follows it with Kings of Leon or some trad new Conor Oberst shit it makes me want to rip my radio out and smash it against the car next to me at the light (hopefully filled with 19 year olds listening to The Hold Steady.) At least Tobi never does that to me.

Kings of Leon…. damn they make me mad…

October 29, 2008 at 4:33 pm
Libby Says:

The Hold Steady sucks sooo bad.

lol@pedro

ok, you dicks, i get it. you hate kings of leon. idgaf

John Foster Says:

Fist bump Libby.

Cale remains convinced that I should like them which beguiles me to no end.

By the way – Zac Effron is oddly hairless with the exception of his carefully mussed hairdo. Creepy on all counts.

October 29, 2008 at 6:19 pm
Svetlana Says:

Zac Efron has the best groomed man brows since Joey Lawrence.
That is all

Michael Says:

Pedro if I had had a movie camera you’d be the most popular guy on YouTube right now.

That shit was epic.

October 29, 2008 at 9:31 pm
Amanda Says:

cale: that is not my fault. :(

and i would have to agree with everyone else, the hold steady do suck. but all of you have heard sex on fire, and you know that once you hear it, it’s in your head for the next five days.

i do not understand america’s obsession with high school musical(s) or zac efron.

i really wish i had been in dc last night.

October 29, 2008 at 10:21 pm
Cale Says:

John Foster’s hatred of The Hold Steady is sort of like Matt and Trey’s hatred of Family Guy. Sure, they make some valid points, but it’s obvious that a bit of jealousy fuels that fire.

October 29, 2008 at 10:46 pm
Svetlana Says:

I feel like the “Hold Steady hate” as an entity is almost a phantom contributor. It pops up THAT often.

October 29, 2008 at 11:14 pm
John Foster Says:

My Hold Steady hatred is pure and unadulterated. It is in fact, the purest emotion that I am capable of.

Plenty of things that I am petty and jealous of but this my friend, is not one of them.

October 29, 2008 at 11:20 pm
John Foster Says:

I am watching the clock and counting the minutes until someone comments as “Hold Steady Hate.”

That is all.

Actually, I forgot – Cale is too skinny and wears girl’s jeans.

See – THAT is tinged with jealousy.

and michael, i have very fine taste, i just can’t afford it.
