its apparently acquired taste, but if you like them and you are in the DC area, they are going to be at the 930 club on september 8th.  so if your not in school, or you can go, i would highly recommend it.  im thinking its going to be a good show 

I apologize for not posting yesterday, but i totally crashed, and sleep is important.  so as noted above, 2 bands....

Hello blog readers!  It's Brennan's friend Natasha, author of As Told By Me: Natasha (yes that is PR for my blog )<- and that's a link to it

Brennan won't be able to post for a few days so I'm filling in till he comes back.  But because he didn't ask me to ghost write, I'm just here for the bare essentials: Band of the day, and as promised, a new post for the day. So since I've posted band of the day...I guess my job here is done.

ill be back...

BAND OF THE DAY: BRETT DENNEN. the track Ain't no Reason symbolises the fact that people arent aware of the trials that go on in other parts of the world besides america (i.e. hunger...genocide.....oppression (religious and political) ......... general obliviousness of the american public....the song aslo tells how the problems of other people who you never thought you would have to worry about could suddenly become your problems...... enjoy....


true to my word i am adding another post.....



i bike the grueling 40 minutes all uphill for an extra summer chemestry class i cant cram into my school year next fall and i cant get any more frustrated at middle aged to older women who stand thier fat asses in the middle of the side walk and dont respond when you try to call their attention.



they cant understand that there are other people on this earth who have places to get to besides themselves. when i try to pass them they give me dirty looks and mutter things like "how can these kids bike with earphones on" or "who do these kids think they are"



WE THINK WE ARE PEOPLE.....



to all you oblivious people who dont understand that there are other people on the streets of life



HAY ASSHOLES! GET THE POLE FROM YOUR ASS

im sorry about you having to listen to these rants.......

some advice: stop being oblivious to people trying to tell you stuff and listen to someone else even when you thing you are right...

as for the poem:

called toeheaded root-wad.... its about how people are oblivious to the needs of others (how fitting!)

What is a toe-headed rootwad?
Why, That’s easy!
Of course it is
A
Flabbergasted fatsome
Spilling its contents
In the face of danger
Or even just conflict
While
Running away
And away
And yet father away

From the point of animosity
So ask again!
What is a TOE-HEADED ROOTWAD?
And ask a third time please
And the answer will remain the same
The HIGH priest
Who was not so high after all
that ol’ revolutionary traitor just in it for the money
so.....
you still wonder what these nonsense-words mean?
These nonsense words?
Do they really make less sense then sending
PLACE HOLDERS
Instead of doing the job yourself?
Asking some one for help when you’re looking for them to do the job entirely?
Not knowing how to do the job your self
ASKING YOUR NUMBER 2?
Now you tell me I’m spreading lies?
I am the one to blame?
That poor man so many years ago on the side of the road
So many years ago being passed on the other side
Or that poor man not so many years ago
Being passed on the other side
ARE THEY THE ONE TO BLAME?
As they are not, I am not

But, you say, I still haven’t answered the question
The age old question
Yet again after you fail to see my explanation
Do you really want to know?
Can you handle the truth?
Yes you say, but I have other thoughts
After what you’ve portrayed yourself as,
I don’t think you would take “look in the mirror” as your answer to the question
No-
But does that mean its false?

over and out....brennan......

p.s. see any recurring theme in the above post???

OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!

BAND OF THE DAY: DANA FALCONBERRY

well its pretty hard to update people on things that happen that are interesting daily.... so i guess i will include another written piece



its called PRESIDENTIAL BULLITEN



Hunched over like a turtle
Pressing hard against our nation
Blissful ignorance allowed their entrance
To our aggravation

We know not where they’re from
“Some far and distant land?
How do we protect ourselves?”
The Americans demand

The president unable
To ever comprehend
Asked his number two
“How shall we defend?

Against our new contender
To the human race
They slipped straight behind my back
But at a slow enough pace

But all the earth was calling
The mess to my attention
So that I could stop them
And issue my prevention!”

And his number two responded
As clever as he could:
“Just pretend they aren’t there
That usually yields good”

The president shook his head
And looked down at the floor
“I’ve done that for a while now
I can’t pull that one off no more

People need some answers
To this scientific jam
I can’t fudge it anymore
Or we’ll face a presidential sham


I have a solution
I’ll make a speech on the T.V.
And talk about our problem here
And our adversity”

So it was as it was said
His speech writer started then
And his publicity advisor
Booked a time on CNN

HE SAID:

“So listen folks, here’s the scoop:
If what you say is true
The world will die in 30 years
And I’ll go down with you

So I do see our danger
So put your signs away
Stop the protesting, go back home
I have a response today

So here’s my solution
What I think is right
We move ourselves out to the moon
The sun will still reach there with light”

And with that response
Outrage sprang through the nation
Every corner of the world was mad
What a misuse of creation!

The civilians complained:
“We want our earth and star
To be used to full effect
Now really, is that hard?”

So impeachment followed our president
He was alone until the end
So the moral here is when you have a problem
Be early to defend!


well i guess i will talk to you tomorrow

BAND OF THE DAY: THE BEDOUIN JACKS

well as i promised, i am adding to this blog (yet i still am unconvinced that this is being read)

i know many blogs depict world travels in such a magical, poetic way, while these words have no "inner meaning"
while this blog is poorly constructed (i.e. poor word choice with poetic meaning) i do write in my free time, mostly poetry, and i will publish some of my stuff in this blog..... its not great but i like to write in my free time so enjoy!

this is an autobiographical piece

“Heaven is what i can not reach”
but does it exist? retreating every time when towards it i take a step
how many steps have been taken? from the sunrise on my birthday to
when i was 3
to
when i was 7
and back to when I was 12
throughout all of my sushi eating days
i have been taking more steps, hunting, but to find? or to have faith is the question
but now i know that He is alive and far, coming, and here now.
by now the sun has centered the ceiling.
but me to busy writing some poems to notice
the beautiful, quiet, quick
moon rise


comment if you would like to know reasons for specific punctuation and word choice and paragraph breaks or something......also critisism is welcomed (it would convince me that someone is actually reading this) i would love to hear from someone!

the quote that i lead off with was by emily dickenson

i will publish more poems in the days to come!

bye for now

BAND OF THE DAY: SEA WOLF-- CHECK OUT THE TRACK: MIDDLE DISTANCE RUNNER



i havent added to this blog in a while...not that i expect anyone to be actually reading this given that there are millions of blogs out there....whatever......i guess that means i can say whatever i want....

....

....

FUCK!

...

....

still i am convinced that no one is reading...

thats ok....



so what am i supposed to write about again?

oh yeahh......

my feelings about life...



so i guess the only people running for george bush's position is mccain and obama... yeah.



oh guess what i think is funny.... i just discovered this today....

in the state of oregon where salmon are mostly fished, all the salmon are going extinct because of the dams that are being installed in the snake river, where a couple of decades ago, "there was so much salmon that you could cross the river on their backs" taxpayers are paying millions of dollars each year (specificly half of a billion yearly) to preserve these salmon, while even with the efforts 50% of the salmon that try to swim down the dam die in the dam stuff.
thats not the funny part
there is a group of native americans that have a treaty with the government where in exchange for the land the government stole from them years ago, they are granted permission from the gov. to fish the endangered salmon. they use equipment provided my the government bought using the taxpayer's money!
we are paying for the preservation of the salmon, and we are paying for the fishing of the same salmon we are paying to preserve

IRONY PEOPLE!!!!

well i guess that wasnt as funny as i thought it was!
whatever

thanks for listining!! as Brett Dennen says: "you dont need a reason or a three piece suit to argue the truth"

maybe the above quote is irrevelent.....so what?

i will try to post tommorrow (even though i know nobody reads these things!)
