Sunday, 1/26/03 - "Just imagine if the choice came down to Hilary Clinton or George Bush... That's like choosing whether to be burned to death or suffocated in a bowl of your own puke."

I ordered my amp yesterday. Should arrive in like 3 weeks days. I know you are all thinking "whoop-de-fucking-do", but I have nothing else to look forward to or write about. Here's some cd mini-reviews:

311 - 311: Not the best 311 cd, or the worst.

311 - Transistor: It's got some great songs, but it also has some boring, unimaginative ones.

Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf: Not really my kind of music, but there are a few cool songs.

Pink Floyd - The Wall: I hadn't heard any Pink Floyd until I listened to this cd. I like it. The first cd is definitely better than the second.

Clockwork Orange Soundtrack: There were some cool songs on the movie that are on the cd, but its pretty much all classical.

Fight Club Soundtracks: It's all techno made by the Dust Bros. I've seen the movie enough so that I know what scene the scene is for the song.

Soundgarden - Louder Than Love: My least favorite Soundgarden cd, although I only listened to it once.

Pulp Fiction Soundtrack: It's mostly 70's songs and sound bites from the movie. It has some songs that I like on it, but most of you would hate.

RHCP - Mothers Milk: Least favorite Chili Peppers cd. Contains a bad rendition of Fire by Jimi Hendrix. They slaughtered that song.

DJ Shadow - Endtroducing...: Yea, it's electronica, but it's good. I have a newfound respect for turntablism.

Bloodhound Gang - Use your fingers: Same great lyrics, but it's mostly rap instead of rock.

Primus - Antipop: Fucking cool. That is all.

Primus - Frizzle Fry: Intensely different.

DJ Shadow has another cd called 'the private press' its good too

If you don't try, you'll never succeed. If you try... then at least you have the right to complain.

1/22/03 Daniel:
I have tried, and it always end up sucking.

1/23/03 Asya:
Try harder. Otherwise you'll be stuck on a level that's much lower then mediocre.

1/23/03 Daniel:
The next thing you are going to tell me is that nothing is impossible, if you try hard enough you can achieve anything, if you want something bad enough you will get it, and that everyone is artistically talented. Not true. You can't become artistically gifted. I know that I can't develop my own original style, so why bother trying?

1/23/03 jared:
music is art too, buddy

1/23/03 Daniel:
Yea. I could become a good guitarist. That would make me a good artist. But not an original one.

1/23/03 Asya:
Fuck yeah. Anything is possible. It's true. If you try hard enough. You said it yourself. If you believe in it, do anything you can, it will happen. I'm not trying to force tenets on you, that is just my own (not original at all what so ever) life philosophy. Everything is a choice. Your own choice. The inevitable things you are just going to have to deal with. Or you can always crawl into a little whole, eat your hair and cry. And then hang yourself.

1/23/03 Daniel:
I didn't say it myself.
You have an imaginative life philosophy. But the problem is that there are boundaries in life. If I tried to turn invisible my whole life, no matter how hard I try it won't happen. It's physically impossible. How many people in the world's goal in life is to become the worlds best football/golf/whatever athlete ever? They may train their whole life, but there can only be one #1. You are trying to fill me with false hope. It's like going up to a blind man and telling him that he can see if he tries hard enough. After he's done wasting his life trying, he's going to be the one hanging himself.

1/24/03 the all-mighty dollar:
why do you have to be original?  alter what has already been set before you.  one can still be successful without being the best. 

1/24/03 Daniel:
Because I can't be proud of something I have done if I feel like it is just a copy of someone else's work. I don't want to be the best or successful.

1/24/03 Asya:
A blind man can't see, but he can be happy blind. Genius is 1% talent and 99% work. All I'm saying is to live happily, you need to feel good about yourself, and that's not going to happen if you sit around all day. I mean you might be happy for a little while, but right before you die, you'll realize that you have made no difference in anyone's life, even your own.

1/24/03 Daniel:
I sit around all day. I feel good about myself, and I'm happy. I don't see what that has to do with art. Yea, I will probably realize it, but I won't give a flying fuck.
