Why do the good bands always fade out? It really sucks, for lack of a better and more eloquent description. I mean, they go away because they break up...or the general populace doesn't like their music anymore...or because one/some of them die...it's just a bum deal. Take...Soundgarden for example. They broke up about 2 years ago (if I remember correctly.) They were an awesome band...although, the local radio stations damn near drove me insane with their playing of the same two Soundgarden songs over and over again. If I hear "My Wave" or "Spoonman" one more time...#_# I mean, those guys were geniuses. Burden in My Hand, Limo Wreck, Fourth of July...loved 'em. Heh, Burden in my Hand--sand, little bugs, burning trees, oh my! It's just tragic to me to see such talent fade out. The same goes with death; I always wonder a bit sadly after yet another dies, who will be next? Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Shel Silverstein, Stanley Kubrick, Eiji Shinjo...why are they all going away? Why oh why oh why?

 

Sometimes, do you just feel like getting in a car and driving? You don't really know where...but you just want to go away? A lot of times I feel like just packing some of my crap, throwing it in the back of ANY car, and just starting to drive away. I wonder if I would stop at the coast. I don't think I would. I think I'd hire a ferry or something and even cross the ocean, into Europe. (Not like I haven't been there before, or anything...^_~)

 

You know, I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said, "God loves everyone...except you." I blinked. Multiple times. What the hell is up with that?! I don't believe in "God", but still...that's a pretty disturbing bumper sticker. What the hell would possess someone to stick that puppy on their bumper? I think it's sick. Sick sick sick sick. There are people out there that could look at that and be seriously disturbed. Y'know...one of those God-channel people or something. Heh heh. Sorry. I'm serious.

 

I have an issue with Gen Xers. In all truth, I actually have multiple issues. Gen Xers always get so uppity when the older people tell them they're doing nothing, or tell them that they're slackers, or whatever. Well, I shouldn't say 'them'. I should say 'us' since I'm classified as part of Generation X. But honestly...75 percent of Gen Xers are just total slackers, on the path to white trashdom. So we have a Free Tibet concert. So we have some bullshit MTV Rock The Vote or whatever. So WHAT. That's nothing, people. Nothing. If you think you're something special because you VOTED, that's sad. Good, you've voted. Why don't you get a job, respect your elders, and maybe stop using the word 'fuck' every other word? I'll admit, sometimes I'm no model kid...but I'd like to think of myself as a pretty productive member of society. When I hear my generation getting a bum wrap because of others, it pisses me off because there are some of us who are trying to work to make up for the lack of action in the others. When people say they fear for their generation, they're usually just joking around. But I'm dead serious when I say that. I seriously, truly do fear for my generation. The rest of the world FEARS my generation.

 

Why does Jimi Hendrix rock so hard? Man, I listen to his stuff and just get so mellow, or into it, or whatever the music is telling you to do. It's some awesome music for just sitting around, or talking, or reading, or writing, or WHATEVER. It's inspirational. Jimi was a truly ingenious man. Like I mentioned above...it's deeply saddening that people like him have to disappear from the world so soon. I bet you if he was still alive today, he'd be rocking just as hard and still kicking people like Lenny Kravitz around the room. It sort of gets me riled when people compare Lenny Kravitz to Jimi. Kravitz, I think in my own personal opinion, is trying to be Jimi Hendrix and is failing miserably.He sucks...grgh...go away, Kravitz...

 

Know what really bothers me? Feminists. Hello, before you flame me, please just sit here and listen. Maybe not all feminists are like this--but everyone *I've* ever met is like this. Because of this, I like to call them Fem-Nazis. Heh.

Number one, they treat men like trash. Men are human beings as well, and the truth is most of my friends are men. Sure, sometimes to women they can be pigheaded and stubborn, but they're really a lot better than women in a lot of ways. (At least to me.) They don't usually feel the need to sit around and bitch about each other, they are trustworthy, not tantrum inclined (usually), and they tend to keep a level head in most situations where women would freak out. And as much as most women would hate to admit it, we need men to survive. Not only for obvious reasons, like procreation, but if it were just women on this planet...think about it for a while. It just wouldn't work.

Number two, they expect to be able to treat men like garbage and have the men treat them superiorly in return. Hello, it doesn't work like that. Treat others the way you want to be treated, isn't that how it goes? They call men all sorts of evil names and whatnot, and then expect men to respect them? Sorry ladies, but I'm under the impression that the merry little world doesn't work that way. Just the other day, I was sitting in a car with a woman ranting about how women were so superior, and so much better, and then all of a sudden she started talking about how angry it made her when some guy wouldn't help her with her luggage.

ALRIGHT. WHAT'S WRONG WITH *THAT* PICTURE? He doesn't want to help with your luggage because you're so busy most likely berating and belittling him that he thinks you're a total bitch...so why should he even bother to help you? And while that may not be the case...weren't you just talking about how great and superior women are? Then, why on earth did you need a *MAN* to help you with your crap? Support yourself if that's what you want--don't be so damned hypocritical. If you shove them away insisting you can do it yourself all the time, don't expect them to come crawling back every time. I know I wouldn't if I were a man.

Number three...I just don't like their attitude towards people. They're so cocky, and arrogant--the same exact things they hate men for. So it's alright for you to be cocky and arrogant just because you're sans a penis? I don't get it. Plus, if they find out you're not a Fem-Nazi like they are, they're either constantly trying to convert you or "help you out", or they look down on you and think up cute little names like you for "Girl-On-A-Leash" and whatnot. HELLO. The only person holding *this* girl's leash is herself.

 

Why when I'm wearing socks, do I always step in something wet? It never fails. I'm like, a dry sock waiting to get wet. ::sigh:: Fate, why art thou such a whore to me? It hasn't happened to me tonight, but I'm sure it will. It always does.
