God loves a cheerful giver.
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.
Tuesday is the new Thursday.
I just hope my father still loves me after last night.
miguel - i will gladly return it to you at your earliest convenience. i think they suck, for one, and they are indirectly responsible for my windshield being cracked.
and quit your belly-achin'. last night was fun. your welcome for the taxi service. *cough-peter-cough*
libby - you rock. ty for the hosp
Michael: COTW!!!!!!!
Svetlana: Your father raised the effing bar last night. It was fun watching the cute young women of DC enthusiastically dash themselves against those particular rocks.
whereamiandwhyamiwearingheelsandwhyismyfootbleeding?
eddie - you think Metallica sucks? Kindly spend the rest of the afternoon running over your own face with a lawnmower, Radioheadboy.
ok, i was gonna let it slide that my kings of leon cd got scratched the fuck up last night by the girl you let sit in my front seat, but now i'm gonna run over your shitty metallica tape with my car. say goodbye to lars and the rest of those tools.
after my nap, of course. i've been up for four hours and i'm getting sleepy. OOOOOHH!!!
No girl sat in your front seat, remember? We sat in the back while you chauffered us around like a bitch.
Kings of ballsucking.
Eddie - Kings of Leon? Seriously?
Svetlana - Your dad rocks.
michael and william, how can you not like the kings of leon? i am so bummed i'm missing them in two weeks, i may be more upset that i'm missing WAS, but still.
Cause they're not 19.
Jeff - my dog Louie died last year. I also callled him Loudini. He'd escape anything. So sorry.
Cale - true. That and we have taste.
yes, seriously. i like them. try the older album.
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.
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!
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...
The Hold Steady sucks sooo bad.
lol@pedro
ok, you dicks, i get it. you hate kings of leon. idgaf
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.
Zac Efron has the best groomed man brows since Joey Lawrence.
That is all
Pedro if I had had a movie camera you'd be the most popular guy on YouTube right now.
That shit was epic.
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.
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.
I feel like the "Hold Steady hate" as an entity is almost a phantom contributor. It pops up THAT often.
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.
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.
yawn
To be fair I also hate Bruce Springsteen.
