I don't do drunk posts that often anymore, maybe because I always post in the morning now, but that isn't a good reason. This is a drunk post but not too drunk. Its on the level of drunk and very drunk, you know that level of drunkenness where you have an out of body expericence. I actually can't have an out of body exp right now. I am to comfortable where I am, in an unknown, unfilmilar place and if I think about the situation just right then yes it will happen. It is a strange feeling everyone should expericence.

That's me being drunk and nothing else.

Planet saving tip: 6

You might think that carbon monoxide inhalation is a clean and painless way to kill yourself, but during the process there are billions of local and global pollutant particles rising and attacking the atmosphere, and contributing to the global climate change. Instead use other methods like jumping off of high places or hanging which uses free gravitational energy.

...So the dolphins can play the song over and over.

Haiku are already plural.

I am deciding if I should post today.
If so what do I post about?
I don't know.
New line returns are looking funny there should be one after this.

As fast as I am
This bus moves faster then me
If so I am slow

Truly bad haiku
Not only have no meaning
They don't follow rules

Change rattles in bag
Half awake, eyes out window
Wondering what's next

The snake strikes upward
The child falls down and cries
The father stopped

Wind propels the seed
Through air it travels distance
To find asphalt home

Large water droplet
You are too big, separate
Fall to earth as two

The bird soars up high
With grace starts a sharp decent
Falls only to rise

Her eyes gazes outside
Wearing a purple hoody
She waits for her stop

Beauty is many
Not one description is wrong
For it's always right

Sky reflects water
Imitates what it can't be
Always envious

Hello's and good-byes
A doorway knows both so well
Hinges creeks its cry

Not a concerned face
Looked as the old man fell down
The car just drove off

Stainless steel mug
Oh how I wish I were you
To have her lips close

You're like a flower
So beautiful to look at
But you make me sneeze

AOTW: Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

I got a lot of guilty pleasures in music. This is one of them. My Chemical Romance, 2004, breakout CD, I ate it
up.

Like a lot of musicians, they are hard to classify to one specific genre. They are a hard rock band, but of what type? Metal? Sort of. Punk? Sure. Screamo? Maybe a bit. That's the thing in all types of music and musicians really, they hear something they like, and try to imitate it no matter what it maybe.

This album is the expression of the bands anger and frustration. Anger, in my opinion is the best emotion to translate into song. These guys do it without reservations, without holding back.

Now this band is a guilty pleasure of mine, (not the only one). They are an alternative band, that found its way on MTV and now there fan base consists of teenagers going through puberty. I remember a situation, I was in a car with friends listening to the radio. One of their 'new' songs came on, and I said something along the line of I don't like them anymore. At that instant, I became one of those people of call out sellouts. Realizing this I though to myself for what reason I disliked their music. There was none, in trying to repair the error in my way, I said to my group of my friends that, that is no reason to dislike anything.

The sound the band creates is an aggressive spew of angst. You usually hear the descriptor angst when dealing with emo, punk, and hardcore that cater to the youth. This band does not skew for that. The emotion is genuine, the ballads, powerful. They differ from underground punk and rock as MCR actually makes songs that normal people can enjoy.

It is a fun album, great for screaming out lyrics in a speeding car. Different from the stuff you hear on the radio, even though you hear them on the radio.

There must be a word or phrase for this in some language.

The bus is packed today. No empty seats, people huddled together standing in the aisles. But no one is talking, not even friends sitting close to each other. All that is heard is the hum from the electric motors. The silence from inside the cabin can not be characterized as awkward, but more akin to the sound of water running down a steep cliff. The silence calms, an inverse relation to day the, most people here have suffered through. Collectively people must work together to reach this point of serenity. Without a word, a force higher than comprehension, subconsciously guides us to a place that emanates the sound of nothing.

Then suddenly, the flick of a telephone.
A young woman asks her mother about dinner in korean, the whole bus hears hear words.

AOTW: ........

No album of the week this week. I have been away from the keyboard the past few days. Try listening to something new. If you find something, recommend it to me, because I really need to find some new music.

If I had my player, I would be listening to the new-ish death cab EP, Open Door. I got one of their songs stuck in my head. Funny thing is that death cab for cutie is currently my favorite band and I have yet to write any of their albums as AOTW. In due time, death cab, in due time.

Planet Saving Tip #5

Driving a car with a tank of gas half empty is more efficient than driving with a tank half full. With the tank half empty, there is less weight than if it were half full. Less weight means less engine power to move the car, and less use of gas, saving you money.

Empty moving box

Sitting here in traffic makes me miss listening to my music player. I would be listening to vampire weekend right now, mouthing the words to their songs. The in-ear phones isolate me from the rest of the bus, in a shell of my own, man can be an island entirely by himself.

When using a wooden pencil avoid doting your 'i''s. Avoiding this will prolong the life of your wooden pencil, slow the rate of deforestation, and probably save you some money.

AOTW: Two Way Monologue

Album of the week: Two Way Monologue

2004, the year can be summarized by one thing, Sondre Lerche created Two Way Monologue.

It is now spring, and this is the perfect spring album. The time when some biological chemical sends hormonal messages to our brains telling us to find someone and on an primitive level reproduce with them.

This album will encourage your pursuit to find that someone if you do not have that person already. Beware, after listening to this album your perception of love and your desperation may be dramatically increased.

The album has the feel of the idealized movie love. A movie when the two characters at first, hate each other, then realize what the audience knew all along, that there perfect for each other. In fact, many of lerche's songs have been used in these types of movies such as 'Dan in real life' in which Lerche did the entire soundtrack.

The songs on the album are terrific. They all fit together in a single package. Take my word for it, I don't feel like proving this as fact.

One particular lyrics that I find interesting is from a song I don't remember the name of right now. It goes: 'you were the choice of millions
I was the choice of billions'. Mr. Lerche is from Norway. English is his second language. Now my skills of interpretation aren't strong, but is his saying that he had chose her from millions of other girl while he was the choice of billions of other men. So she did not go through as much competition as he, she might have a problem with that if she thinks too much of it. I think I would want to be a choice of one, as in their is no other real choice to make, but that's just me.

I especially like the work Sondre Lerche because he sings with in a vocal range I can imitate and I can sing his songs, but I have yet to find a karaoke machine that features his songs, but privately.

All in all this is the summary paragraph. It is a great cd, pick it. Listen to his other albums too, he has a great modern vocal jazz album which uses elements of his pop work, it is great for lounging around at Starbucks, setting the mood for a night of flirtation. Unlike other decisions and non decisions in your life, you won't regret it.

Dating and Relationship Advice

No matter how much you mean it, never say to a girl that she smells like durian.

If you believe in fate, take a potential mate on a walk during a storm with a tall umbrella in an open field. Fate will handle it.

If you are drawing a picture of a potential mate who is female. The picture better be the best picture she has ever seen or the worst drawing as some form of irony. Also be sure her sense of humor recognizes irony.

On a first or second date with a girl who you think is only about a 30 percent or under on the potentialness scale, place a condom wrapper on the floor of your car. Notice how she responds.

Many woman do not like their feet being played with. Do not try to open her up to your foot fetish by rubbing your feet against her.

Hair somehow gets in the way of all forms of sex, but do not try to shave your mate if their hair is getting in the way. A wiser decision would be to suggest to your mate, to tie their hair in a 'pony' type tail or 'pig' type tails.

Unfortunately, Japanese women do not scream like they do in movies.

It is not ok to tell a girl to act like a character you have seen on; Nick Jr., Pbs Kids, Discovery Kids or the TV show Dinosaurs.

If together, when you and your mate are walking a dog, it is customary for the male to pick up the poop, but do not under any circumstance try to re-live the video you had seen yesterday; at least in public.

Many people find a Picasso painting beautiful. If you are one of those people, try to avoid telling your mate they look like one.

In the event of a car crash, it is considered good manners to offer water to your mate to remove the taste of vomit and gagging feeling from their mouth.

On the first few dates, it is suggested to speak naturally. Do not try to make yourself sound intelligent by using large words that seem out of place or dumb down your language to give yourself more street cred except when you are dating a girl from Tacoma. You will need to dumb down your the way you speak, a lot, or more fittingly, hella.

On a first date, never give the results of your latest HIV test to a potential mate no matter how go of an idea you think it is.

A negative pregnancy test may be good news for some, but do not to place it on the refrigerator, that would be unsanitary.

It annoys potential mates of foreign background when people hit on them by speaking of what little phrases of the potential mates language they know. Hitting on a person by saying, 'can you pass the mayonnaise?' will not go well.

Planet saving tip #3

Never wash your car. It is a complete waste of water and the soap used in the washing ends up in the near by streams and water bodies. By not washing your car you are portraying an image that the car is not important. Others will sense this and follow suit as a form of belonging.

Planet saving tips #2

Instead of taking long warm showers, take cold ones. The torturous feeling of the frigid water stinging your skin tells you, thank you for sacrificing a little comfort to preserve the world we are all a part of.

..so the dolphins would hate us anymore.

The color of blue and teal trap me.

I think many of you reader have figured out that I do not write these posts on a computer anymore. I write them primarily on my travels to and from school. Given so much time, I write and write without a sense of deadline or page limit. This causes my posts to be long and off the tangent. In many cases I do not post what I have written. I have eight posts unposted, totaling to about twelve pages. I feel that they are definitely worthy of posting, but still, at their length are undone. So much so, that I do not even know why this post is so long. I am simply in need of boundaries as odd as it may seem.

AOTW: Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots

This album created by The Flaming Lips tells a story of a girl, Yoshimi who, as the title says, battles pink robots. Influenced by early Japanese robot culture, the album uses animeic (anime like) story elements that give a deep plot to this interesting tale, all done in music.

Yoshimi is a female soldier, in charge of defending her world from and advancing robot threat. She succeeds in her goal but after the war, she finds a robot and falls in love with it.

As expected with an album about a robot there is a lot of synthesizers. Heavily in the electronic and experimental feel, the album sound similar to something produced by The Polyphonic Spree or The Shins. Many people today would consider this indie. That might be true if there was such a genre called indie.

I first hear of this album on NPR. They had play a bit of the gem of the CD, 'Do You Realize?'. I listened to it, and i knew i wasn't the first time that I had heard it. It was so familiar. And do you know why? The song was used in many commercials, for land rover, and vh1.

'Do you realize' can be interpreted as a song about the end. The end of anything. Particular to the song, relationships, life and love. Much in line with Robert Frost's poem, 'Nothing gold can stay'. He, as Yoshimi's robot lover, will one day be found out and killed, but as a emotional computing machine, he sings to her, that do not worry about the end, realize that it is inevitable, live out this moment. It has been said that the lead singer, wrote this song while going through heroin withdrawals where he could only think of his deceased father.

I have played this album while carpool with friends. It drew curious attention as the most likely of love and tragedy albums, between not of a man and a woman but of a woman and a robot. Unlike the topic of millions of songs before, this was probably the first time they had heard of a subject as creative as this.

If you are open minded enough to listen to an album so absurd in comparison to the norm, you owe it to yourself to listen to this ingenious piece of work. Also, be sure to view the collection of album art for this cd. The paintings, whomever may have draw them (I don't have the cd with me, don't shoot me artist of unknown name), are pretty nice as well.
