The shit hit the ceiling fan....literally.
Had quite a shitty day. Dad screamed at me for leaving my ceiling fan on. I felt like shit after that. My brother laughed, then I laughed....and Maggie cried. My brother wanted to laugh as my dad was scolding me. I couldn't blame him, whenever my Dad scolds me, it's pretty funny. I wish my bro could have a hidden camera to tape my dad whenever he scolds me. Then we could watch it over and over again. And laugh. And laugh. And laugh some more.

Math is a sickness.
It's nice to hear that I won't be having math class later today due to my teacher's illness. At last, she had the time to tell us that she was getting sick before class even began. This is the first time in the last four times she's been sick that she e-mailed. My teacher's nice and quite attractive but man, you gotta tell your students whether you're coming to school or not.

Brad & Jen.....or should it be Daniel and Jen??????
Sad to hear that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are getting separated. Thought that one was gonna go all the way but alas, it didn't. I think it's the ego thing. I heard that Pitt was having phone sex calls with Angelina Jolie. If I was married and was having phone sex calls with Angelina Jolie, I'd divorce my wife too. Heh heh. I think Marc Antony and Jennifer Lopez are going to be next.

Another bitch who rightly deserves eating her cake and throwing it up too!
Anyone see that thing last week when Ashlee Simpson was booed off the stage at the Orange Bowl. Wow, that was horrible......for her, but hilarious for me. To be honest, she sings like a whore who has sucked too many cocks or smoked 25 packs of cigarettes in one hour. The only reason why she's getting all this shit is because she's Jessica Simpson's sister.

Sister, Sister...remember that TV show? Oh yeah, it was cancelled.
What's up with all this shit with the sibling thing? Now Britney Spears's sister is going to be on a show on her own. It looks fucked up and it is fucked up. Why do they keep on giving these siblings shit of their own when the people around them know they suck? It's like people smelling shit around that particular person and all that person can smell is Calvin Klein's Obsession.

Rap's rare delicious delights.
I don't really like rap.....Eminem's stuff can be over the top (I still consider his "Stan" to be a modern masterpiece, though) and 50 Cent's shit is just plain stupid. Pimp this and pimp that. But there's some shit I like. I still remember the first rap album I bought and it was Jay-Z's Volume 2: Hard Knock Life. I don't listen to it anymore as my hatred for rap increased since it's been killing rock the past few years. But the collaboration between Linkin Park/Jay-Z is mighty delicious. I admit, these tracks have made my head bob up and down. Jorge, I need to rip these tracks for me hard drive yo.

As for rock, what happened to it? I mean, there's still rock but what happened to the head banging rock genre? Like Foo Fighters, Audioslave, or Rage Against the Machine? The shit that Q101 has been playing is no longer rock ROCK but punk rock, emo, or progressive rock. I do like these new types of rock but the only right now is Velvet Revolver? Come on man, Velvet Revolver truly is the shit but that's it?! What happened to the bands I mentioned? Are they on hiatus?

Ah, the days when the Real World, Road Rules, and Daria were the only shows on MTV.
I still remember the good old days when MTV and VH1 still played music videos 15 hours a day. I still remember the amazing Radiohead music video of "Paranoid Android," the thrashing intensity mini-masterpiece of Blur's "Song 2," the insanity that is Prodigy's "Breathe," or the oddball but yet spectacular music vid of Jamiroquai's "Virtual Insanity." Don't studios make anymore great music videos? Remember the Cardigan's when their music video "Lovefool" or the simplicity of the vids of Oasis? I still remember Paula Cole's armpit hairs and when she would raise her arms hell would freeze over. The music video that really is imprinted in my mind is the Verve Pipe's "The Freshman." It's remarkable complex lyrics with the indefinite simplicity of the music video made me love the song even more. Reading this list made me want to download some vids off the net. I still remember that Spice Girls music video "2 Become 1." Or the manic perfection that is Alanis Morissette's "Ironic." The George Melies-inspired work of art that is Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight."

Right now, the only music videos that truly capture the mind is Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For" an intense, vibrant explosion of colors and images fused with the dizzying array of Stefani's tones and melodies. The originality and vibrancy of Incubus' "Megalomaniac," another music video with a reason to have MTV.

I realized now that between 1995-1999 that music videos were definite pieces of art compared to the hunks of shit spoon-fed to us. It seems that only 1 out of 50 music videos are considered good and with good reason have a part in the film world that truly means something. Where the hell are the Radiohead music videos when you need them?
