Airplanes and Water Balloons

Let me tell you all a little story. Last night was pretty cool for me. My friend, Kyle, and I went to a bar to see some bands play. The first thing that happened was that we couldn't find the damn place. We drove up and down the street for a good ten minutes before we found it. Then there was a $5 cover charge. Between the two of us we had $8. Which is to say that I had $8. The guy at the door said it would be fine. He marked our hands with X's (Because we can't drink. I asked if he wanted to see our IDs. "Don't ask, don't tell.") We had no money left, so we just asked the waitress for two waters. We waited about a half an hour before the first band went on, which is weird because we should've been ten minutes into their set when we got their. Kyle then realized he'd seen this band play before... And he said they were awful. After their set, which featured distorted guitar turned to 11, we concluded that they wouldn't sound so bad if they just turned down the volume. It was then that I realized we could get something to eat, because I had my Visa Debit Card. We ordered a pepperoni and steak pizza. It was delicious. Then a band called Eat Sugar started their set. They were really cool. They had an electric drum pad and two synthesizers, and they played this weird indie/electronica stuff. I talked to the singer after the show and he gave me a free CD. It was awesome. Then on the way home, we saw the Batmobile...

So that's my story. Fun night. I wanna do it again every weekend for the rest of the summer. Alright, I wanna plug something real quick and then we'll get into the videos and stuff (And I've got a really cool video for today). Me and my friend Stephen are trying to start a music festival called "Grungefest." I think you can guess what type of music this festival is geared toward. We need volunteers, donations, and support to make this a reality. Join our Facebook group. Let us know if you can do anything to help (ex. booking, venue, advertising, etc.)!

Here's our first video. I know I already bitched about the BP oil spill, and usually I let it go after I rant about it, but this was hilarous. It's the BP oil spill re-enacted... by cats.



Their new slogan: "You're not mad enough to not drive your car." Love it.

This next video isn't really a video. It's a song off B.o.B.'s first release called "Airplanes." It features Hayley Williams, and it's awesome.



I just realized that this is the version with Eminem too. The one with just Hayley is about a minute shorter. Both are great.

So I was on USAToday.com, and I saw a story from May 20th about a "mystery rodent" that scurried in front of the podium while President Obama was giving a speech. Why is this news?... Oh my God! A mouse is in the White house! Alert the media! White House authorities have assured the public that the mouse is not suspected of terrorism. Nonetheless, a mousehunt has ensued for questioning.

Well, that's all I've got for you today. So I'll leave you with this (I've been waiting to share this all day).



This is Ashes to Oranges. And you're welcome.

So, the first thing you should notice is the fact that you're hearing music. Probably The Stones, unless shuffle has started working. If you don't hear any music, it's probably because your speakers aren't working. So, I've got some cool stuff lined up (that's a lie, I'm making this up as I go), so let's get started, shall we?

I want to start with this "WTF?" video. It's apparently a Justin Bieber cover (that's what the title says, I have no idea), and it's by this little 7-year-old kid that wants to grow up to be a rapper. This is one of the worst things I've seen in I don't know how long. You've been warned.



... Yea. He sucks. He's a little white kid in a polo shirt pretending to be like, fuckin' Busta Rhymes or something. And he can't carry a tune. Can't hit a pitch... Actually, that sounds like me, only he's higher pitched... By the way, where does the term "shorty" come from? Anybody know? Cuz not all chicks are short. Like Amazons...

This next video... Well, I don't know what this driver was trying to accomplish... Maybe he was on acid? Thought he could fly? I like that the title of the video says he went "all General Lee."



Crazy, right? Maybe he was tired of waiting for his flight and thought he'd just fly himself... I don't know... I wish we could see the aftermath... Oh wait, we can! Isn't the internet wonderful?

This video took me a second to get. It's a Chik-fil-A video about cow tipping.



It's ironic, see? Speaking of Chik-fil-A, do you think there's a Chik-fil-B?...

Rant

Why the hell is it so hard for BP to fix their fucking leak? You'd think they'd have some kind of protocol for it, like a plan B or something... In case of oil spill, break the glass, anything! I heard President Obama say this was the largest oil spill in our history. No shit, Mr. President. That's because you all sat on your asses and did nothing for 40 days. He also said that there was a lot of aid coming to help clean it. Brilliant, wonderful! Where the is this clean-up crew?

... The Ghostbusters? You called the fucking Ghostbusters?... *Sigh* The technology to completely reverse the effects of this oil spill exist, and are available, but nobody wants to fucking pay for it. I heard a couple of guys talking on the radio about that ump that apologized to Galarraga, and they were like "I wish we could get an apology from a BP Exec." Well played, radio man. Well played. Fox News' Megyn Kelly had an interview with someone who said BP is now standing for "Barack's Problem." This is his Katrina. How well has he handled it? Not well, Mr. President. Not well.

Yea, you thought this was gonna be all fun and games, didn't you? Didn't realize we were going to talk politics. But fear not, my rant is over. As a side note, President Obama did not actually call in the Ghostbusters for help. It was for the sake of comedy. Alright, I'm tired. That rant took a lot out of me. So, I'll leave you with this pic.
