ahh birthdays

yep. today is that great day on which i was brought into this world.

fucking 26… shit. time flies, eh?

i guess i could say something about the nature of growing older, wiser, more mature, but fuck that shit. i’ll have time for that BS when i’m 30. for now i just want to continue on in my fairly uneventful, but rather stress and responsibility free life. i think everyone really has to grow up someday, but for me it won’t be today.

fuck it. life goes on. live and love and learn. grow up, grow out. don’t sell out, buy in (thanks slc punk).

oh next week i’m going to canada. can’t wait. it’s gonna be fucking cold up there, but the beer will keep me warm i’m sure.

fucking metal

so i like metal music. i like lots of music, actually. i’ll listen to just about anything. i read in someone else’s blog once that they don’t like it when people say they “listen to everything.” i find that a rather narrow minded view. i’d rather be exposed to anything and everything i can get my hands on.

i’ve been unable to stop listening to the following bands for the past year: last.fm

what am i getting at here? well, i need more music. i love music. it is one thing that i have a great passion for in my life (and i’m a fairly passionless person, honestly). so, if you ever read this, recommend something to me. send me a band name, record label, genre, whatever so that i can find something else to listen to.

on the subject of music, yearly top 10 lists are fucking gay. whoever can quantify music so minutely that they can pick out 10 albums and rank them in order of how much they liked them seems to be missing out on something. now don’t get me wrong, you will definately have variance of “goodness” to anything you hear, and you can probably rank them from “this fucking sucks” to “omg i just blew a load b/c this rules” but really, 10 in order? please. just listen and enjoy.

ps. don’t be a snob about it either.

those signs in restaurants and stores

that say “thanks for your business, we really appreciate it!” or something to that effect.

why not just tell your employees to say that? seems so impersonal.

am i making a point here? who knows?
