I had a dream about a naked George W. Bush riding around on a unicorn. That is all.

so my roommate is pledging at a fraternity and this is very ironic because he is the most effeminate male I've ever met.
examples:
-instead of watching the superbowl, he knitted a scarf (no joke)
-he's really into decorating our room
-he adores desperate housewives, america's next top model and grey's anatomy
-frequently shops for clothes online
-has a faggy accent
-uses a sleep mask
but then again it kind of makes sense because fraternities are one of the gayest organizations in america. It's just that most frat guys try to hide this fact by over asserting their masculinity and my roomate has no masculinity. maybe he just wants some ass?
anyway, the greek letters on my window are totally tacky and embarrassing. ick!

My current favorite statistic:

A mere 16% of American women in their twenties have pubic hair, according to a new sex survey to be published in Esquire and Marie Claire.

I'm confused, are bald crotches supposed to be sexy?

this is a list I did for the geneseo radio station and I figured I'd share it with the 0 people who read this journal

My top ten favorite albums of the year 2006*

1. Grizzly Bear- Yellow House
2. The Hold Steady – Boys and Girls in America
3. The Decemberists – the Crane Wife
4. Viva Voce – Get Yr Blood Sucked Out
5. TV on the Radio – Return to Cookie Mountain
6. Cat Power –The Greatest
7. Vetiver – To Find Me Gone
8. The Raconteurs –Broken Boy Soldiers
9. Earl Greyhound – Soft Targets
10. Bright Black Morning Light – self titled

* I haven’t actually listened to some of these records,
they just appear on this list to make it more indie/hip (I am a colossal tool).

Also, I discovered the greatest music video of all time today:

I came across a car with a bumper sticker which read: “God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve” and proceeded to scratch the side of the vehicle with my key.

Oh, and I despise loud, inebriated people.

I have a professor who makes our class watch H.R. Pufnstuf and proceeds to analyze it like it’s high literature. Apparently he’s doing it to test our patience.

This is a picture from facebook, which, to me, represents the prototypical frat guy/jock. I pretty much despise people at my college who look like this and I want to do everything in my power to separate myself from them. However, I do understand the appeal of riding around in an SUV while listening to DMB.

When he was governor of Texas, George W. Bush declared June 10th to be Jesus day. Jesus day conveniently falls four days after 6/6/06, which is also known as the national day of Slayer. I spent last Tuesday listening to Slayer.

oh and I thought of some band names:

-hott lyxx
-sugar balls
-phallic power

What the hell? I was nice enough to tongue her clit and she repays me by menstruating all over my sheets. I guess that’s her way of saying “thank you, Alex”
And to top it all off, I had the humiliating experience of carrying the blood stained bed sheets through my hall to the laundry room.

I refer to the girls here as “Genesehoes”

So, when I got out of the movie theater last night, a group of minority students (and me) waited for the bus while all of the white kids got into their cars. Such a hilarious visual metaphor!

A strange thing happened to me at the Irondequoit Holiday Inn last night...

I was in the elevator, about to go up when a small, pudgy hispanic man wearing a wife beater and drinking a coors light approached me. First, he asked me if I was gay, then he accused me of defecating in the hotel jacuzzi and threatened to kick me out of the hotel. I finally convinced him that the turds in the hot tub were not my product. He then told me I looked like a stoner and offered me something called "purple skunk". When I shut the elevator door on him, he started banging on it. It was scary.

Anyway, I was horrified/amused when I discovered that my mom has 50 cent on her Ipod. She said that she wanted a "well-rounded" music collection.

I want to start a neo vintage/ British invasion/ surf rock/ sixties girl group/ rockabilly/ proto-punk/ blues/ garage rock band. We will wear mod threads and scarves and have go-go dancers dressed like 60’s femme fatales (Edie, Nico, Twiggy, Pattie Boyd etc.) That would be particularly fetching.

In high school I was in a band for about 3 or 4 rehearsals. I was forced to play boring stoner music (Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead) which was basically a vehicle for our lead guitarist to launch into self-indulgent, masturbatory solos. My bandmates eventually replaced me and started doing heroin.

In the boys lavatory, a sign made out of blue construction paper gave the following message: “Gentlemen, please clean up after yourselves!”

“How puerile”, I thought.

For me, college is all about leaving behind the safe confines of your home in order to experience the real world. This is exactly why I left the comfortable mundanity of Bethlehem for the gritty decadence of ultra-conservative and rural Livingston County. Yes, I chose to go to college in the reddest county in NYS. Yee Haw!

I’m thinking of going to the tractor store to buy a John Deere t-shirt, because that would be like sooooo ironic.

Me and Elliott had gay sex last night. I think we both realized that girls aren't interested in us, so we channeled our sexual repression into a robust night of monkey-fucking.

Project Runway is on tonight!! omgomgomgomg..YES!!!

Laura, you're watching it with me.

I hate your Ipod. In fact, I have so much contempt towards you Ipeople that I'll strangle and hang you by your white head phones next time I encounter you. There is nothing "trendy" or "hip" about being one of Steve Job's catatonic, sterile, post-human minions. Ipods are a fashion statement, not a musical revolution... yeah I'll probably get one.

"In Albany, a river runs past an auditorium shaped like an egg. The entire city appears to be ovulating. It's a fecund place, a powerful place, even if it is a musical desert. And I was raised there, and women know it."

"She looked like a librarian who worked in a porn store, and was the sum of all indie rock wet dreams."

25 years ago today, John Lennon was shot dead outside of the Dakota in New York. I have nothing profound or original to say about this,so I'm posting two meaningful quotes, the first, by the infamous Lester Bangs (who would take his own life two years later) takes a cynical view regaurding this tragic event...

"I can't mourn John Lennon. I didn't know the guy. But I do know that when all is said and done, thats all he was, a guy. The refusal of his fans to ever let him be that was finally almost as lethal as his "assassin" (and please, let's have no more talk of this being a "political" killing, and don't call him a "rock n' roll martyr"). Did you watch the TV specials on Tuesday night? Did you see all those people standing in the street in front of the Dakota apartment where Lennon lived singing "Hey Jude"? What do you think the real, cynical, sneeringly sarcastic, witheringly witty and iconoclastic John Lennon would have to say about that? John Lennon at his best despised cheap sentiment and had to learn the hard way that once you' ve made your mark on history those who can't will be so grateful they'll turn it into a cage for you. Those who choose to falsify their memories, to pine for a neverland 1960s that never really happened that way in the first place insult the retroactive Eden they enshrine."
- Lester Bangs, Los Angeles Times, 11 December 1980

"Produce your own dream. It's quite possible to do anything...the unknown is what it is. And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions."
- John Lennon, 1980

bands I hate

2005-11-20T17:42:09Z

The following is a list of bands/artists which I despise and the reasons why they suck.

Led Zeppelin – I have a strong desire to strangle Robert Plant with a microphone.

Phish – I’m not even sure if getting stoned out of my mind would help me appreciate this stuff. Why is it trendy in Bethlehem to like these guys?

Queen – Bombastic, over the top theater has no place in rock n’ roll. Nether does opera, songs which take three weeks to record and spandex jumpsuits.

Coldplay – Corporate music that is enjoyed by soccer moms.

Jack Johnson – I remember a conversation with Will Hoback in which he attempted to show off his musical knowledge by lecturing me about delta blues legend Jack Johnson. I soon realized he meant Robert Johnson. That was hilarious!

Ashlee Simpson – Her new record was originally going to be titled IM me, because Ashlee believes that AIM is one of the most romantic outlets of contemporary society. However, her record company made her change it to I Am Me, in reference to Rene Descartes, because he is like, soooo deep.

Kings of Leon – the “southern fried” Strokes. I think I’ll pass…

Wow, how pretentious of me.
