Tour Schedule

My schedule is pretty redundant once i hit the road with my friends....starting from when we wake up to the end of the night usually goes as such: -Wake up in Walmart parking lot -Brush teeth and buy anything we may need inside Walmart -Find local disc golf course or other P.O.I. -Lunch -Explore new city we are currently in -Eat leftovers from lunch/snacks -Find venue we are playing at and hang out -Play show -Drink (very strict DD rule) -Dinner -Start driving to next city after show -Arrive at new Walmart parking lot anywhere from 1-5am and sleep and the cycle begins anew. Of course our plans may be changed for any number of things, but i guarantee you they will be pretty close to this. This is the life folks. Old friends, new friends, new faces and new places.....can't beat it.

Copyright: How does that work again?

Can someone please tell me when the music copyright laws went invalid? I have noticed a rise in rap and pop songs using old songs and changing something so slightly that they can't legally get sued, but also can't legally be considered good writers.

enough with the talk, lets listen to some music.

example one: Live Your Life by Rihanna (rip off: Numa Numa)
Is it such a good idea to use the melody of a song that only got popular because a fat guy decided to dance to it on camera? No, it isn't. It makes me want to punch Rihanna in the face (too soon?).

example two: Sugar by Flo Rida (rip off: Blue (Da Ba Dee))
"Hey this song was popular once, lets use its chorus. Im such a good writer." I mean, Sugar is a good song, catchy as hell, but if it were called "Sugar (blue remix)" then it would be a different story. Eiffel 65 needs all the help they can get without Flo Rida reaping the benefits.

example three: Right Round by Flo Rida (rip off: You Spin Me Round)
Oh you again Flo. Do you think that if you changed the lyrics to "you spin my HEAD round..." no one would notice? wrong. If you arent wearing an eye patch with 3ft. tall hair in your video then i dont want to see it. Dead or Alive put too much effort in for you to go fuck it all up. Cant this guy write his own choruses?????

What the hell is happening to original music?

F My Life?

I've been noticing that with the popularity of FMyLife.com growing, more and more people want to get their stories of the day out onto the web without first thinking about the subject matter. I've seen a rise in quantity over quality.

Example, on FML there was an entry about a girl who went bowling and noticed the guy next to her had a yin yang bowling ball that she admired, "without thinking i said to him out loud, "i like your balls," and everyone heard me. FML" Really? You want to fuck your ENTIRE life because you said "nice balls?" I read about people getting stitched up after dropping their chainsaw on themselves or girls having their own sisters hook up with their boyfriends and finding out their mom assisted with it. If FML doesn't get an editing staff i can see it going down hill quite fast.


My FML entry: "Today i was walking out of the mall, and as i walked to my car i stepped in the biggest pile of gum ever. It was stuck to my shoe, and everyone saw me do it. FML"

im sure that'll make the top ten

Holy crap. what a great christmas eve!

i had work at 11, whatever. but then my whole family sat down and ate a duck dinner. it was just like the scene from A Christmas Story when they go to the chinese restaurant....only we made it ourselves. THEN we all played catch phrase.....me and my sis won. that was followed by xmas charades....me and my mom worked my sis and dad. After that we opened our stockings, oncley tradition for xmas eve night. i got a lot of air fresheners since apparently i smell in every aspect of life. Then we all sat down by the fire and watched A Christmas Story, it was a toss up between that, Home Alone, and Meet Me In St. Luis. Now im in bed watching adult swim and on my laptop. too good. and tomorrow i get REAL gifts. sa-weet.

i feel like the cleavers! well.....the cleavers on the verge of 2009.

Zach and Miri make bum porn

So i finally saw zach and miri make a porno, which i didnt think i would ever see....but i did. But i must say i really really liked it alot. good story and some people said it moved to slow or dwelled on certain parts of the film but i thought it was very good. One complaint i heard about "BE Kind Rewind"(cause i didnt see it myself) was that it didnt have enough scenes of them making the movies, it was mainly showing how jack black became magnetic. But Zach and Miri had like 25 minutes of them thinking of porno names, which i might add are all original and dont dip into my elementary school ages when me and my friends would make up all the cliche porno parody titles. But long story short, its a good movie. go see it. and if you dont like it you have no soul and should be sterilized......or maybe you just like different kinds of movies.

oh, and one thing that bugged me. Jason Mewes who always plays Jay from jay and silent bob, and who played Lester in this movie, whats the hell is up with his teeth?! i mean, ive seen clerks and clerks II and dogma and Jay and silent bob strike back and his teeth dont look as funky as they do in this movie. it was really bugging me.
