a guy came to the northside last weekend wearing a hat that said
"I HEART SUCKING CLIT"
and a teeshirt that said
"I EAT MORE PUSSY THAN CERVICAL CANCER"
i kicked him out post haste, because i know it would make everyone (specially Emily A.) happy. what a freak. who has that kind of attitude? "this shirt will make me seem so outrageous that all kinds of girls will flock to my nut zone".
asshole.

last night, after practice, i was sitting in my reading chair and Jeff was sleeping on my lap and he must have been having some insanely great dream because at one point he rolled onto his back and stuck his paws into the air and made big circular motions with his paws while making this crazy burbling noise. i think the dream involved him swimming in a pool of the liquid that the food chunks float in in his canned food.

once upon a time there was a beautiful princess named Nick. he lived in the evil dark fortress, The Castle Infotrack Inc, that was ruled over by a ill tempered man with little geriatric bosoms, he was known only as King Gunner. the king's toadie was a man named The Duke of Rhodes and he was born with fingers not unlike the sausages that were made throughout the Rhine. eventually the castle was sold to a company out of Delaware and never heard from again. Princess Nick married young and died of a fudge overdose at the age of 39, a young asian boy-prince named Jamal, his only heiress.
the end
...or is it!? |

i've been reading Steinbeck lately, because my father thinks that reading his books are the only way to really understand human darkness. i've never encountered anything so bleak. i finished East Of Eden last night, and now all i want to do is put on a black veil and break all my light bulbs.

i think it was around this time of year that we all congregated at Matt Harvey's house and had a monster jam in his living room. Kevin screamed so hard that he got a bloody nose, and i yelled about sex-vampires, blew all the blood vessels in my forehead, and put a whole in the kitchen wall.

The Northside Bar and Grill had its annual christmas party this weekend. it was a lot of wicked fun involving me eating a ton of spinach thingies with feta, quesadillas, brie, and cake. and drinking god knows what and god knows how much of it. all i remember is russian vodka and pickles with Vadim, Makers Mark with Mike and Jerry, Woodchuck cider with DJ Jazzy Jeffrey, and Miller with Goremansteins Monster. i am very hungover.
we got our bonuses too, a hundred bucks and an insane gift bag including a bottle of Absolute, a bottle of Patron tequila, a tin box of fancy shortbread cookies, various seasonal candies, two DVDs (the greatest hits of Gumby, and some Ozzie and Harriet), and a Ninja Action figure with blonde hair and blue eyes.
i made out like some kind of an awesome bandit.
but this morning my booze-ravaged body got it's comeupance. that is to say, things came up. oh, zing.
time to zone out more. |

SONG TITLE LIST:
DRAIN THE WIZARD FOR SHE'S A TIGHT-FISTED WIDOW THORNADO PLUS TIME TRAVELING RACECAR DRIVER THRASHOLA HUN ATTACK MAN VS SPORTS LET THE GOOD TIMES EXPLODE GUT SHOT HIGH I RODE THE LIGHTNING, I MASTERED THE PUPPETS
- - -- John Deerblood continues to thrive. we have two unnamed songs in the can, hence the above list, thats what i'm bringing to the table next weekend. one i wrote the head for, but like the least which has a seventies rock feel to it, it has a lot of masturbatory fretplay, and brendans drums are awesome on it, but it just feels kind of Doofy with a capital "D".
the other song is more avant-rock or possibly slint-esque, but with a big feel-good rockin' payoff riff for the outro which i had written/fleshed out fully a couple hours beforehand. it needs a ton of work, but it sounds the best to me so far. lots of bass chords, double kick, and a big speedy crescendo. i want to push the stuff into more of a weird realm. where its sort of one part chicago style mathrock and one part DC hardcore. AHH but i'm boring you. i have a tape of the two songs, if anybody wants to give it a listen and tell me what they think, give me a jingle.

AN ANECDOTE ABOUT COMMERCE IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO:
on the way to practice, brendan and i were super hung over so we stopped to get some juice and muffins at a gas station. outside there was the standard guy yelling at you to buy stuff from him. now its normally cheaply made sneakers, mix tapes, Sean John t-shirts, or cd players. this time, this guy was all like "big man! you wanna buy some socks?!" and then he showed me a duffel bag full of socks. i said no thanks dude, then he said "how about some hardcore porno?!... or some belts?!". socks, belts and porn. all the things you need in life to be happy. we declined and went inside to get our snacks. then when i came out, i thought better of it, and bought a 6 pack of most likely stolen black socks for 5 bucks. what a savings. |

last night, i took the L downtown to see the LaSalle Bank building burn. from my vantage point, the ring of fire was huge even though it was 30 stories up. it reminded me of the P.O.V. shots in Ghostbusters of the Zul battle scene. if only it were that awesome.
i also saw Craig Wall from fox news chicago out there, he was broadcasting in the middle of a dinner break i guess- "of the 25 injured, 18 were firefighters BLAH BLAH", if the camera would have panned down, it would have seen a half eaten quarter pounder with cheese in his left hand.
the trains were packed at two a.m. and everyone was screaming theories at eachother. |

fellow office drones are coming down on me for not wanting to go to the end-of-year "holiday party". about five or six people so far. why is it so shocking to people that i don't like our management team, i have to fake shmooz with them all day, i don't want to do it on my day off. no amount of free watered down drinks, or chicken marsala will change my mind. and all that coupled with another situation [EDITED] that would surely bring unbridled akwardness to the table along with the rolls and pats of butter shaped like flowers. fuck the world.
winter is already making me crazy. and its only shown its face twice.

i need to go out for drinks soon. someone give me a call this weekend, i'll chat your fucking ears off, i swear.

JOHN DEERBLOOD has finished its very first song. it was originally named "4/4/4/4/4/5/4/4/1/4" but that was goofy. so now its just "FOUR FOUR!". its awesome. we are going to melt faces.
we have a couple others that are just skeletons so far, but they're tentatively titled "I Rode The Lightning, I mastered The Puppets", "For She's A Tight-Fisted Widow", and "Time Flys When You Weigh A Ton". |

on friday, i actually got really drunk. i don't like it when that happens. but this time it was okay, because mike lopez and i gave Gabe Ransenberg an ATOMIC MELVIN. he was onstage singing and being a spaz, so mike-man and i just ran up to him, grabbed the front of his undies and yanked. the resulting scream/tearing noise was well worth the attack we recieved soon after. gabriel jumped on my back and tried to give me a wedgie, but i'm a ninja so i rolled on top of him. then he tickled me and crammed his tongue in my face. when it was over and the next song had started, Gabe had what appeared to be a mini-skirt on, but it was just the torn top half of his briefs. my god, it was funny.
i don't remember much of the rest of the evening. |
