Steve thinks he can just go ahead and delete stupid posts?
Angry Man In Mob #1: He can't do that! Angry Man In Mob #3: Yeah! We're angry! Angry man In Mob #1: Hey, where did Angry Man In Mob #2 go? In Memory of Petey [Dave] Time:9:18 AM Thursday, May 29, 2003
(i just completely deleted the previous post of mine because it was stupid)
I watched the Royal Tenenbaums last night. The movie was so amazing. It started out causing me to almost burst my gut laughing at some of the insanity, and by the end my chest was aching and my heart was racing as I watched the sadness unfold onscreen. The characters were so well done that I could feel the movie instead of just see it. I know that sounds kind of odd, but I really could. And moments later I'd be laughing at some crazy little line or something ironic or just plain weird. In Memory of Petey [Steven] Time:11:43 PM Wednesday, May 28, 2003
I've been digging indie rock later. watashi wa, code 55, starflyer 59, the early november... I really think it is healthy for every person to have a dose of indie rock to purge their mind of the over-produced music given to us these days.
Of course, when that over-produced music is Coldplay, it's a different story. I hardly take breaks from Coldplay. In fact, when I loaded up these indie mp3s, it was all I could do to remove coldplay from my playlist. Amsterdam has the magical ability to both lift me up and cast me down simultaniously. To answer a past post by my friend John, boxers do not qualify as pants because they have a big hole in the front usually. Sometimes, said hole does not even button!

Been reading some kickin' awesome Stories by Walter de la Mare. With all the bloody nonfiction I've been reading, its rather refreshing. This passage I thought quite interesting:
"You see, Jane, its all on the surface; I boast of my indifference. It's the one rag of philosophy [that] age denies no one. It's easy to be mock-heroic -- debonair, iron-grey, rhetorical, dramatic -- you know it all too well, perhaps? But after all, life's comedy, when one stops smiling, is only the tepidest farce. Or the guilt wares off and the pinchbeck tragedy shows through. And so, I say, we talk on, being past feeling. One by one our hopes come to roost, our delusions find themselves out, and the mystery proves to be nothing but sleight-of-hand. It's age my dear Jane -- age; it turns one to stone. With you young people life's a dream; ask Nicholas here!" He shrugged his shoulders, adding under his breath, "But one wakes on a devilishly hard pallet." The rantings of a cynisist? Yeah, but there is a lot to be learned from it. That is why we need love and humour I think. They both receive their gratification externally. Without them one does become cynical and indifferent.

I'd say they qualify more as shorts myself.

Have you ever tried not using your thumbs? No? Maybe I'm talking to the wrong crowd. I tried not using my thumbs for awhile this morning, and I found that it wasn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, its nearly impossible, because even when you aren't using your thumb, it still controls about half of the palm, really, so you can't even technically grip anything without it. And where would we be, as a human race, without the "thumbs up" sign? We'd be like, stuck in the dark ages, thumbless and coolless and bored. And we wouldn't even be able to twiddle our thumbs. Now I've gone and depressed myself.

Due to the complete lack of, well, thought, really, I will again make use of borrowed hilarity, this time from the back cover of Monty Python's Another Monty Python Record (1971), which I have lovingly typed out for you:
Hello. Well, I was extremely pleased and honoured to be asked to write the credits for this album, not only because I believe that it is vital in this day and age for members of the older generation to keep pace with the dynamic and exciting ideas of youth, but also for the money. Well, here goes - the splendid cast was headed by Richard Tauber and Edith Eva- I'm sorry....I lost my notes.. ah, yes - the record was written and preformed by John Cleese, Graham Chapman (I wonder if he's any relation to the Chapman I knew)...er.. Eric Idle, Terry Jones, Michael Palin (I wonder if he's any relation to the Chapman I knew) with special star-guest award-winning feature preformances by the lovely Carol Cleveland and the boistrous Terry Gilliam (who, I believe, is foreign - tho' of course absolutely none the worse for it, there's no question of any stigma there...oh, no). Where am I, oh yes... the very fine music was written and arranged by my old friend Fred Tomlinson - how are you Fred?... and of course the songs were sung by the Fred Tomlinson Singers - and jolly gay they are too.. oh dear... the songs of course.
