So I'm looking for a girl with a job and a car
Don't you know where you are

I got a mom but I ain't got a dad
My dad's got a wife but she ain't my mom
Mom's looking for a man to be my dad
But I want my mom and to be my real

Is that so bad
Oh, I think I've been had
Lost in America

6 days into 2010, and i have already bought 4 cds. kinda living on the budget rock these days, meaning i am buying used stuff, or buying stuff from the cut out bins in the super market. whatever, it's new tunes, and it's decent stuff.
got the following from Shoprite's cut out bin, for $6.99 or less:
Ted Nugent- Cat Scratch Fever
John Fogerty- Centerfield
BB King- MR. Blues($4.99)
and got this from Tunes last night for $6.99
Jawbox- My Scrapbook of Fatal Accidents
might go back to Tunes on Thursday or friday, because they had 40 Seasons: best of Skid Row for $4.99, a bunch of Slayer ranging from $4.99 to 7.99, and Beastie Boys stuff for $2.99. I also want to start getting newer stuff. been fixated on old stuff for too long. last two mudvayne albums, foo fighters greatest hits, new slayer, etc.

i bought a couple of cds yesterday.
Ozzy-Live and Loud:
I'd always wanted this. i remember when it came out in the 90's, it was mega expensive. but so very cool, with the metal cover. i found it at Tunes for $8.99 last night. they also had a remastered one without the metal cover for $4.99. pretty sure it was more than $30 when it first came out? see, if you wait 19 years, everything reduces in cost. well, most things
Living Colour- Smash hits:
wanted it ever since it first came out. was used for $3.99. i have all their albums, but sometimes you just want to put on a album with all the hits, rather then 5 different discs.
i do think i might try to complete my ozzy collection. looking at what they had at tunes. pretty sure i only need three more albums. one being a covers album, and the other two being live albums
and then i might turn my attention to getting whatever prince i dont have.

I don't wanna feel no more
It's easier to keep falling
Imitations are pale
Emptiness of tomorrows
Haunted by your ghost
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you
Fading out by design
Consciously avoiding changes
Curtain drawn, now it's done
Silencing our tomorrows
Forcing our goodbyes
Lay down, black gives way to blue
Lay down, I'll remember you

10:23 pm - 2009 Cds
|
I have updated the list of cds I have somehow acquired this year. Whether it be bought or somehow received for free. the dollar amount on the end of each cd is how much i paid for each. I kinda did that to tell myself how much I have spent on each. Then I added it all up at the bottom. Crazy, I could've paid two car payments for the amount of money I have spent on cds this year.
At any rate, Tunes in Marlton, NJ has become my favorite cd store at the moment. I'm constantly walking in there and finding good stuff for like $2.99 or a little more. I was in there for 9 minutes on Friday night, and I spent $11 on 3 cds.
So here it is. Some of this has turned out to be pretty good, some has turned out to be so-so, and some I scratch my head and ask myself "wtf was I thinking"
- 311- Uplifter ($12)
- 38 Special- Flashback ($3)
- +44- When Your Heart Stops Beating ($3)
- AC/DC- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (Remaster) ($7)
- Armor for Sleep- Smile for Them
- At the Drive In- This Station is Non-Operational ($10)
- Avenged Sevenfold- Avenged Sevenfold
- Baumer- Were it Not For You ($3)
- The Beatles- Abbey Road(2009 Remaster) ($12)
- The Beatles- A Hard Days Night(2009 Remaster) ($12_
- The Beatles- Help(2009 Remaster) ($12)
- The Beatles- Sgt. Peppers(2009 Remaster) ($12)
- The Beatles- With the Beatles (2009 Remaster) ($12)
- Chuck Berry- The Great Twenty Eight ($5)
- Biffy Clyro- Puzzle
- Black Tide- Light From Above ($3)
- Blaqk Audio- Cexcells ($3)
- Black Stone Cherry- Folklore and Superstition ($7)
- Blondie- Parallel Lines ($7)
- Boysetsfire- Misery Index: Notes from the Plague Years ($3)
- Jackson Browne- The NExt Voice You Hear: Best of Jackson Browne ($4)

Total spent= $654

As you look around this room, tonight.
Settle in your seat and dim the lights.
Do you want my blood? Do you want my tears?
What do you want?
What do you want from me?
Should I sing until I can't sing any more.
Play these strings until my fingers are blue.
You're so hard to please.
What do you want from me?
Do you think that I know something you don't know?
What do you want from me?
If I don't promise you the answers would you go?
What do you want from me?
Should I stand out in the rain?
Do you want me to make a daisy chain for you?
I'm not the one you need.
What do you want from me?
You can have anything you want.
You can drift, you can dream, even walk on water.
Anything you want.
You can own everything you see.
Sell your soul for complete control.
Is that really what you need?
You can lose yourself this night.
See inside there is nothing to hide.
Turn and face the light.

i'd had been having headaches everyday for 3 weeks. i was popping 3 advils several hours a day, to get them to subside. amanda is heavily against drugs, unless needed, and was like "advil can cause liver damage" etc etc, and suggested my headaches might be sinus and suggested i take tylenol sinus. i did that, and it helped some, but the headaches still came in smaller doses. so i went to the doctor last monday. the doctor suggested i might have sleep apnea. and wants me to get a sleep study done. also, my doctor sent me to get some blood work done.. all of that came back good. blood sugar was a little high, cholesteral was good, hemoglobin ac was good, etc.
my mom had sleep apnea. so, i do have some prior experience with it, and understand what it is. she ended up having surgery to correct it. so, i guess worse case scenario, that is what i can look forward to. still though, it sucks, because it seems like i am getting all that has plagued, or continues to plague, my parents. i am pre-diabetic(from my father), and now might have sleep apnea(mother). if this trend continues, i can look forward to possible high blood pressure, heart problems, and various cancers. but i guess i might be able to prolong some of these things, or maybe avoid them altogether if i take better care of myself. i kinda feel i am on the right path, as i have lost 50 pounds in about a years time. so, we will see how this goes.
i went to walmart today and got the new Kiss album. it is quite good.. also saw they had some of the catalogue nicely priced. got remastered Dressed to Kill for $5, and Love Gun for $8. also got remastered Sgt Peppers(Beatles) for $14. i now have 5 out of 14 Beatles remasters. as far as Kiss remasters go, there's still quite a few out ther that i want to get. baby steps, baby steps.

7:10 pm - death has a shadow
|
my mom has congestive heart failure. its the same thing my grandmother had, which killed her four years ago. i dont know how long my mother knew, but she just told me 2 fridays ago. i'm having a little trouble coming to grips with it. she says the doctors say she has had it for awhile, and she is advanced. they havent told her how much longer she has to live, or anything.
i'm just not ready to lose my parents yet, especially my mother. i was always very close to her. she meant so much to me in my lifetime. without her love, compassion, and her undying support, i probably wouldnt have survived past 20. i was si overly depressed for much of my teens. suicide entered my thoughts quite often. my mom saw all this, and she helped me get into counseling. and really it was very helpful, and what not. it's not just that. she's always been there when i needed her to talk to, or some help in some form. i think i am lucky to have the relationship i have with my mother. i dont think alot of people have the kinda relationship i have had.
i wish things were a little different financially. because i really want to get in the car and drive to ohio, or fly to ohio or whatever, so i can see her. i havent seen my parents since march. my second week of vacation came and gone two weeks ago, and we couldnt afford to travel. so most likely, unless i get a job that is more flexible in scheduling, i wont be able to see my parents until the first week of vacation in '10. unless, they come out here. which i doubt they will. they are just as struggling financially as we are.
definitely not something i really thought about when i moved to jersey.
i just wish i could see her. its going to be very hard, when she goes. i know i will miss her terribly, and it will be just so out of place to not be able to pick up the phone and call her and stuff.. and who knows, maybe she will live much longer. my grandmother was given 5 to 10 years to live, and died in 6 years.
it sucks getting older, because it means my loved ones are getting older too.

my second and last week of vacation started on Monday. Amanda took her vacation at this time too. We stayed at the Borgata in Atlantic City on Monday, Tuesday, and checked out about 11am on Wednesday. Her Dad comped the room for us, and gave us some money to spend. Which was very, very nice. We played roulette, black jack, and some slots. i had never played Black Jack before, and did pretty well on it. took a liking to it. i came home with some winnings.
I spent some of my winnings at Best Buy yesterday. Bought the following cds:
Rise Against- The Unraveling
Clutch- Strange Cousins from the West
Beatles- Help!(Remaster)
Beatles- With the Beatles(Remaster)
Anthrax- Among the Living
Amanda bought Wii Resort with some of her money. We played it last night, and it was fun. I eventually want to get Guitar Hero 5. Maybe next week, when i go back to work, i can save some of my Papa John tips and get it. not a total priority though.
I ordered new Anthrax and Ace Frehley albums on Monday, and hopefully they will arrive today. I used the money I made selling cds on Amazon, to purchase them. good trade off

Looking at all the releases for September. It looks like a really good month. I think alot of this year has been very lackluster, as far as new music goes. And, it's possible since I no longer have the luxury of being "in the know" about new music, and what not, that I might just be out of touch. but, back to the current subject.
next Tuesday(sept. 8), the remastered Beatles albums are being released. I plan on buying one or two of them. Most notably, Abbey Road. I've needed a new copy for like 10 years now. Nothing more annoying then when it skips on my favorite song, "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".
Dont know if i will just get the one? If I get like another or more, I'll probably go with Beatles albums, I havent gotten thus far like; Yellow Submarine, Help!, or Hard Days Night. Wish I could afford one of the box sets. I dont think anyone in my family can afford to get it for me this year for X-Mas. Everyone is poe.
(Sept. 15), new Ace Frehley is being released. I am excited about this, like you have no idea. First new Ace album in 20 years. I hope it's good. Interestingly enough, i hear there is a new Kiss album coming this year too? havent heard the new Kiss single yet.
Sept. 22, nothing really notable for me that week. So, I might take that week to get another Beatles album, or maybe I'll get something I've been eyeing for awhile. Like, the deluxe versions of the two Def Leppard albums I want, or the deluxe version of the Weezer blue album.
Sept. 29th, new Alice in Chains and A.F.I.. And apparently, there is new Paramore too. Paramore arent a band I feel the need to own their new release on street date. So, AIC and AFI are the important releases. I Cant wait to hear new AIC, from start to finish. I love "A Looking into View". Havent heard anything from AFI yet. I hope its better than Decemberunderground. It was good, but not so good, if that makes sense.
And, I dont care about the AIC without Layne haters. They can hate all they want,, and I understand why they do. William Duval is no Layne Staley, but he is pretty good though. Plus, I see AIC carrying on like I do ac/dc. Bon Scott was great, but Brian Johnson is good too. Then again, AIC could end up being like Drowning Pool carrying on without Dave. But, that is a poor comparison, DP were never as good as AIC. if anything DP were a novelty act, who have clung on past their shelf life.
anyway, so yeah september looks good. have no idea what lies ahead into october, november, etc. but, i imagine October and November should see something going on. Those are important months for label, as it's part of the fourth quarter, and they will be trying to get their holiday numbers in

11:28 pm - you know the usual happy go lucky topics. anniversaries, speeding tickets, homicidal madmen, death
|
8/25 will mark the second anniversary since we moved into this house
9/14 will mark the second anniversary that it officially became ours
9/23 will mark the second anniversary of Amanda and I's marriage.
I got a speeding ticket on Saturday, I was doing 58 in a 40. i havent had a ticket in 8 years. it sucks on many levels. not only is it a speeding ticket, which means 4 points on the my driving record. but, this will also raise our insurance. we have a fine to pay as well. lesson we learned was, dont speed when a cop is in the area. oh yeah, and if we should decide to fight the ticket in court, the court date is on 9/17. which is during my last week of vacation of the year.
my vacation starts on 9/14. i was hoping we could go to ohio to see my parents. but A. we didnt really have the money. there is a chance that my mom might've gave us money. but, B.) with the pending court date that week, and having to possibly shell out money for the fine. it doesnt seem that going to ohio would be possible. and that sucks. because i haven't seen my parents since March.
the other thing i have been thinking about is death. there's been a lot of horrible violent crimes in the news, which have involved people dying. and before reading that, i always thought that i thought i was in danger, i could protect myself. but, these news articles portray a new idea. death could come without so much of a warning. take the guy that went into the LA Fitness in Pittsburgh and shot the place up. he walks into the aerobic room, where people are doing yoga or something, turns off the lights, and starts shooting. there's no way they couldve known what was coming. they probably thought nothing of it when he walked in. the "oh shit" factor may have registered in their mines when the lights went out. but, i suspect it all went down before they could really figure out what was going on.
those people went tot he gym, the three women that died, had no clue that they wouldnt return home. their families had no clue, that when they left to go to the gym, that it would be their last conversation with them, possibly last meal, etc. had no clue.
death comes without warning. i could be working in shoprite tomorrow, a disgruntled employee or customer could come in shooting. something crazy can happen at any time. nothing we can do about it. i'm still not afraid of my own death. i mean, when i die, i die. i wont have to worry about anything in post mortem. but, you know, i do worry that something could happen to Amanda, when i am not with her to protect her. like when she is driving home, at work, at the bank, at the store, etc. losing her would just be the ultimate death knell in my way of being. my parents and friends too.
but you know, there's nothing i can do about it. just hope that amanda and i grow old together, without any major tragedy happening, beyond us dying of old age or whatever. i will most likely die before her, since i am 8 years older then she. but, there is always that possibility that her asthma could have some sorta turn for the worse, and such.
yeah, death sucks, if it's not my own anyway.

11:59 pm - my aim is true
|
i finally got a second job with Papa John's. ever since my dismissal from Dominos, i've been trying to get another tip based part time job. i go to orientation on Wednesday. i cant wait to start making some extra money. i have a long list of cds i want to get. i have bought some in recent times:
Def Leppard- Pyromania(deluxe)
Paul Westerberg- 14 songs
Shinedown- Leave a Whisper
Chuck Berry- a best of
Buddy Holly- Not Fade Away
i've downloaded a lot. i've actually explored Elvis Costello, and i've come to like him. i have resisted getting into for some reason over the years. i've downloaded stuff from: The Cars, Little Richard, Otis Redding, Stevie Wonder, etc. notice how there isnt any metal in there? I just realized that as i was typing it out. i havent completely moved away from metal. but, i am kinda done with bands like chimaira, killswitch, and other bands where the singing is more of a growling, and not understandable. i like my vocals clean, it can be distorted to some degree, but i want to know what the person is saying, without reading the lyrics. i want to be able to relate in some way, or something.
oh yeah, and i joined a band. never ever played in a band before. i've been playing guitar for 17 years now. i was a little nervous at first, still am. but the first practice went ok. the band wants to play in drop D. i've grown accostomed to standard tuning. but, whatever, we will see where it goes. i have decided i dont care for the amps provided at the practice hall. i think i might lug my marshall around. i just think it sounds better.

Last week I was very much into 80's hair metal. well, thats not really uncommon. But I listened to Warrant for like the first 2 or 3 days of the week, specifically their third and fourth albums. Then I turned to DLR era Van Halen, and ended the week with Motley Crue. Then last night, i started pulling some of the 80's pop stuff that i own out, and putting in my itunes. like Boston, Foreigner, Corey Hart, Robert Palmer, Wang Chung, Huey Lewis, etc. I created a playlist entirely just for 80's pop. I think I am going to add George Thorogood, U2, and Heart. might be good times? might not?
i went to Best Buy the other day, and found a bunch of stuff that i want. Apparently, Def Leppard's Pyromania, Hysteria, and Adrenalize have all gotten the redux release treatment. meaning 2 discs, the original disc, and then a disc of b-sides or live stuff.. i want them!! i've been meaning to replace my pyromania for awhile. i also want to get the redux release of the first Weezer album. didnt realize they had the bsides on that one too.
and then i saw a band called Deathstar, that i am curious about. they might suck.. but i like the name, and they look like manson-wannabees. so how bad can they be?
this music post has been brought to you by netflix.. who are on the right side of my screen. i like netflix. you can keep their movies however long you want to. we've had curious case of benjamin buttons for 2 months, and havent watched it yet. if this were the old days, getting something from hollywood or blockbuster, we would owe a fortune in late fees.

11:30 pm - Childhood and legacy
|
it seems my childhood collided in so many different ways this week. First, I saw Transformers: Rise of the Fallen on Wednesday. And in the trailers was the previews for the GI Joe movie. Let me tell you, how weird it is to see both of them have gained so much momentum. From 3rd to 5th grade, I pined for when school would let out at the end of the day, so I could race home, and watch Transformers and GI Joe cartoons. They were normally on back to back.
Also, I read both comic series, I probably stopped in the 7th grade, I think? Like, I lived month by month for those comics. And my favorite were the GI Joe Vs Transformers comic series(Which I hope they end up making into a movie too). And I had every single action figure for GI Joe in the 80's, had many of the playsets. Like the Cobra Headquarters. I made my mom get me the aircraft carrier for my birthday or Christmas one year. I actually used to integrate GI Joe and Star Wars action figures together, and what Transformers I had. Let me tell you, in my world, it was perfectly fine for Luke Skywalker to make out with Scarlet. Transformers never made out with the humans though, they didnt have anatomies. Actually, neither did the humans. Well, the female Gi Joes did have bumps where breasts should be. Anyway, so that was my childhood. And yes, I listened to KISS while playing with such.
And then the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett:
Michael Jackson was so huge in the 80's, you could not escape him. Try as you might, it didnt happen. You turn on MTV and the "Billie Jean", "Thriller", and "Beat it" videos were on during any given hour during the early to mid-80's, till Bad came out. Then it was a rotation of "Bad", and I dont remember what other singles came off that.
I was a huge fan of both Michael Jackson and Prince. There was a time when I actually wanted to be black, because of them. "Thriller" came out in '82 and "Purple Rain" in '84, so I was 8 and 10 years old respectively, in 2nd and 4th grades. I feel that I literally grew up with both of them.
Farrah, yeah I watched Charlies Angels when I was a kid. It was on any given day of the week, in syndication, and what not. Honestly, I kinda liked the brunettes more. I remember as a kid, I would get Farrah Fawcett and Heather Thomas confused with one another. The Fall Guy was on about the same time, and they were both popular sexual icons at the time.
So, I reveled in my childhood, and then saw my childhood come crashing down with the King of Pop. I know that I am getting old, and those that I idolized are much older. So, it's only a matter of time before the likes of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Prince, The Breakfast Club kids, and so on, start dropping off. I;ve already seen Eric Carr, Robert Palmer, John Ritter, Don Knotts, and so many others pass away.
I've said it before: Death is something else. Unfortunately, we know it will come some time in our lives. Whether it is our loved ones, or ourselves. We are all given life when we are born, and we all will die eventually. It's what we do in between that really matters the most. When we leave, our legends will live on through the loved ones that will remain. Michael Jackson is gone, but his music will live on forever. People 20 years from now, will try to do the moonwalk.

6:12 pm - those were the best days of my life
|
been downloading Bryan Adams, and listening to him alot. Like his regular studio albums from the 80's. Downloaded Into the Night a few days ago, The Best of Me around the same time, and today dled Reckless. I forgot how good Reckless is. I had it int he 80's either on cassette or vinyl, cant remember. i was a huge, huge fan of his work in those days. I forgot how many singles came off Reckless: "Summer of 69", "Heaven", "Run to You", "Somebody", "Kids Wanna Rock", and I think "Its Only Love" is the song he did with Tina Turner. The days of going that deep into an album for singles, is pretty much over. They dont do that much anymore. At best, you're lucky if they promote 4 songs off an album. And then most of the artists today, are really disposable. After an album or two, people tend to lose interest, and move on to the next trend. but that's where we are as a society, a short attention span. Wow, I really just summed up society based on music.
Also just downloaded Tokio Hotel. I actually liked them. Never heard them before, but read plenty about them on ONTD. I wasnt sure what to expect. I kinda expected something kinda Disney, or maybe indie. But the kids from the band, look like they could be interesting. so yeah, Tokio Hotel is good.
Duran Duran's Greatest: I see it in stores, and I think I should get it. But, it's always expensive, very seldom sale priced, and I wonder do I really need another Duran Duran "Best of". I have Decade. Grant it, that album came out in like 1990, and Duran Duran have made more body of music since. Greatest does cover some of the 90's stuff too, which is cool. If I can find it at a reasonable cost, I might buy it?
i went into the Tunes in Voorhees, and didnt buy anything today. I kept picking up things, thinking about buying them. But, I didnt feel they would keep my interest long, and I would forget about them soon enough. I kinda wanted some older Get up Kids or Saves the day, but didnt find any. I also kinda want some older Cheap Trick, Allice Cooper, etc.. I did see some cheap Soilent Green albums, and thought about buying those. But, I dont know much about them. I just know they are metal. oh yeah and I saw a used copy of the recent Queensryche album. I have downloaded and do like it, but Queensryche are one of those bands I cant listen to all too much in a row.
these were my most listened to artists last week:
This week, the top couple are Bryan Adams, All- American Rejects, and Sunny Day Real Estate

2:42 am - the devil went down to somewhere, he forgot where he went though

things between Amanda and I have gone well. she says she has been really happy recently. Which is a good thing. Because, it sucks when she isnt happy. it sucks when we arent getting along. but i know its only temporary, so i dont stress about it.
work sucks. but i guess thats the point. if it was fun, we wouldnt care what we got paid, or if we got paid at all.
it gets hot in here. we havent turned on the ac yet.. because it costs too much money.. if it gets any worse, we wont be so happy anymore. fighting will ensue, and maybe make up sex. so its a win win situation really.
one of my co-workers said one day that people in grocery stores were like zombies. And since then I have realized that he is right. They really trully are. they walk around, with no real sense of purpose, and they just dont show any real signs of life. they do stupid things, ask stupid questions, and are annoying. It's like "go on granny and back yourself up with your grocery cart, dont bother to look both ways, or behind you before doing so. I'm only barreling down behind you with a pallet full of coke related 12 packs. naw dont worry it's not heavy."
i love the people who just stand there. or they leave their carts in the most inane places. like in the middle of the aisle, or blocking the entrance to the aisle. Or they will be like "oh I'm sorry I didnt see you", and then I will "yeah you fucking did. you saw me coming down the aisle". "Am I in your way?". "Oh no, I am just standing here holding a case of 2 liters for exercising purposes, you go ahead and read the labels on the baked beans there".
yeah i'll probably go postal one day, haha.. i dont know what my weapon of choice will be. maybe I will figure out how to set up the soda machines outside the stores, so that they shoot soda cans and bottles at people and their cars. You know, kinda like MAximum Overdrive.
been downloading alot. the past two days have been about just checking out various stuff.. Just downloaded Phil Collins "Hello, I must be Going" cd, just for "I Dont Care Anymore". Downloaded Journey's "Arrival" because I wanted to here some guy not named Steve Perry sing. Downloaded a Motion City Soundtrack cd, because I remember the kids in New Years Day talking about them. I found a folder that has some Cars catalogue. I might DL one or two of those. Downloaded some Dead Kennedys and Husker Du, just because I Was curious. I mean people talk about how influencial they were as punk bands. I've decided I like Dead Kennedys, but not so much Husker Du.
well, thanks for riding the Blueskin express. tomorrow we will discuss anal sex, and why or why not you shouldnt put gerbils in the anal passageway
