Cover Songs

Listening to the album "Ceremony: A New Order Tribute" and a good song is just a good song, hard to fuck up. I heard my chemical romance's version of "Under Pressure" again earlier today and they didn't do a bad job it's just not the original - I think they dared to dream too big, noone can do justice to a David Bowie/Queen collaboration.

Twitter

Also wanted to let everyone know that I will be posting a 24-part erotic series on my twitter so check out @petruchiox in the next couple of days and I'll do another post to remind everyone once its up...

What Up-date

Damn, it has been a busy 6 months! Have been working on my writing skills when I'm not working myself to death or trying to keep my house from sinking into the landfill it was built on but have produced next to nothing worth public consumption. As much as I enjoy world/current events the dung-pile of US corporate media has forced me away from the news. Even the Daily Show, NPR, and the BBC are struggling a bit these days to find anyone with anything interesting to say about the topics of the day. So tiring to see people arguing being presented as analysis of the news. If I want to see a fight I'll give my kids a dvd and tell them to share... When Conan took over the tonight show I decided I would give the late-night talk shows another chance. I used to occasionally watch Conan, Craig, or Jimmy (and Dave only when Howard's a guest, Jay Leno hasn't said anything funny since '93) but would always return to Adult Swim when they didn't satisfy. So two weeks of trying all the different shows and I gotta say, once again, fuck Jay, Dave's no longer funny, Jimmy Fallon really isn't that funny without the SNL writers, Craigs still pretty good but the real problem is the guests! 95% of the guests on these shows are the most boring fucking people i've ever listened to. Nobody says anything actually interesting and the stories they do tell would put a meth-head to sleep... Thats enough bitching about that, here's this weeks playlist:

yeah yeah yeahs - zero
beastie boys - sabotage
taking back sunday - sink into me
elvis costello - radio,radio
cake - never there
anti-flag - no paradise
cracker - low

atmosphere - you
she wants revenge - tear you apart

enjoy!

Laziness Update

Ah the long winter vacation/hiding in the closet is done and its back to the comfort of the daily soul-crushing grind. I just went through the older posts and cleaned up some grammatical and spelling errors, I didn't change any content though. I also got rid of the damn "Adult content warning" banner to make it more accessible, if any minors find their way to this site then good for them, its their parent's responsibility to monitor what their kids are watching and reading online just like mine made sure I wasn't watching HBO late at night as a kid. Take some fucking responsibility for yourselves. Look out for my next post though, I'm working on a diatribe blaming the Puritans for Internet porn and fetishes.

why i'm a lazy sod

I was just watching a stand-up comic doing a routine about the difference between coffee drinkers and beer drinkers that got me thinking. There are very few people that are pure black or white alcohol or coffe drinkers. I know a few on both sides but some latte freaks will occasionally have a drink and a lot of lets say alcohol enthusiasts drink coffee. a funny similarity is that a coffee drinker that has a couple of glasses of wine or beer once or twice a week, even on the occasion they really tie one on, will pick right back up with the coffee and move on with life as usual while the drinker will need the coffee the next day to function and be productive until the work is done the kids are in bed and its time to unwind some more. The moral of the incoherent rambling im trying to pass off as a blog post is if i was a hardcore coffee guy there would be more frequent and interesting posts here but i am a beer/liquor/cigarettes/weed guy and my coffee intake is just enough to get the work done. Im a night person with morning responsibilities and a lot of work to do...

Seasonal Illness

When i was in college i remember taking a constitutional history course that really got into the thought processes that went into crafting the document and by extension the laws of the land. During this holiday season i am reminded that the religion clause of the first amendment was not intended to be freedom to practice whatever religion you choose, freedom "of" religion, so much as protection from state sponsored faith, freedom "from" religion. There are legions of people in this country that believe however incorrectly that the good ole U.S. Of A. Was founded as and by right should be a Christian theocracy. And i am somehow supposed to believe that i should be more scared of muslims thousands of miles away trying to convert and/or destroy us? I call bullshit, bottom line is if we are serious about winning the nebulous war on terror we would stop fucking with people that feel they have no other recourse but to become terrorists. Anyhow back to the point i originally intended to make was i wish i lived in a world where other peoples religious beliefs are not constantly rammed down my throat to the point of being codified into laws that i have to follow or risk running afoul of the police state. Living in America...
