i am very bored. i have been only writing posts when i have had something very relevant to say, and now i am writing just to occupy my time. i hope this is not an abuse of the list or an offense to anyone. so, now what do i do? hmmm. people seem tell anecdotes about things that happen to them. well lets see, i actually dont know who is on this list, so i may not be able to divulge information without getting into trouble somehow. oh wait, i know how i can protect myself.... so i have this "friend" who goes by the name of joey jo jo junior shabadoo, and he found himself in a situation in which he had plooked the same girl that his ex-girlfriend plooked the previous evening. and i wonder to myself, has anyone else in the world ever done this, or is joey jo jo the only one. first you have to date a girl who is bi-sexual, then have her break your heart horribly, blame it on depression when you know that its really cause you suck, then have her become a lesbian completely, then have said ex-girlfriend come back to visit you and other people years later, and well, you get the idea i think. i dont think i can tell the rest of this story without being horribly inapropriate. does anyone know that conan o'brien bit where that british guitar guy says, "inapropriate." thats a good one. he pops up in my head to declare instances in my life inapropriate many a times. lets just say, hooking up with a girl while "the aids song" by ween is playing, and your ex is looking on and you cant figure out who shes jealous of is a weird situation for anyone to be in, even if your name is joey jo jo. joey jeremiah, eh? he was sexy. i can see why someone said they had a crush on him. we're talking about degrasi jr. high right? ok lets make up a word, "shnickle" now lets define it. a song has "Shnickle" if it is easy to play, but sounds grate. the more shnickle a song has the greater the ratio of goodness to easiness. clearly the song with the most shnickle is "The Rollercoaster Ride" by some band that i cant seem to remember right now. i think they might be canadian or something, but anyway, to play said song all you have to do is play D and G in a standard tuning, then when they sing "the rollercoaster ride" you play A and G. then when they sing "of all the trouble kept her inside" you go back to D & G.very easy song to play and also to sing along to. try it you'll be surprised, and yet that song is damn sexy. i must admit, even though its against my nature, to feeling happy listening to that song while looking out my window at a beautiful snow storm. the snow was gently covering the world with two feet of snow, and the world didn't seem to mind. ahh happiness, such a bizzare and evasive emotion. in trying to pin an emotion on the music of b and s, you see that its a mix of saddness, awkward disturbingness, humour, and cynicism, all with incredibly well written and cohesive music that gives you the ultimate feeling of, "eh, what are you gonna do. might as well enjoy it" so b and s hits the nail right on the head with the philosophy of life being absurd and sometimes horrible, but the best thing you can do is just go with the ride and enjoy it by taking things with grains of salt and not dwelling on the horribleness so much and laughing at the fact that your brother announced that he was gay at the most inapropriate of times, at your sisters wedding. dear lord, what am i doing? im talking about life and stuff! i will stop now, and will try not to get this bored again. i promise. -jer ps:why is everyone on this list so damn insecure? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
