ugh, proper update? ~ Apr 17, 12:14 AM
So I can’t sleep. Or, more rightly, I was asleep on my couch, than woke up, now can’t fall back asleep.
So I’ll ramble to you about the Mike Doughty concert from Friday.
Saw him at the TLA this time, and boy do I hate going to concerts with people from Phila. First of all, it can be your favorite band on stage, if your from around here you kind of stand there looking bothered by the entire experience bitching about how you never really cared for this song anyhow. Ergh. Even if it isn’t my favorite band on stage, after ticketmaster violates me in a most unholy way, you sure as hell better believe I’m about to have a great time.
And after the week I’ve had, I was about to explode with furious anger by the time I walked into the venue, so if I could enjoy it anyone could.
So there’s this hip hop guy in front of me, and I’m thinking did anyone tell this kind he’s at a singer-songwriter show? but to his credit 1) doughty is has been heavily influenced by hip hop and 2) the kid knew every freaking word to every song.
so you know that inane habit we have as audience member to throw our hands up or scream after our favorite lyric in a show? Well during fort hod, this hip-hop kid (and a bunch others) freak out for the line
you should be getting stoned with a prom dress girl and it hits me, the difference between myself and everyone else there. Now that a beautiful phrasing, but that is not why they are all freaking out, but before I can really think twice about the next line is the one I seem to be th only person in the place going nuts for.
you should still believe in an endless world
Fuck right. you should still believe in that, I wish I still believed in that. Why the fuck don’t we believe in that?
and that’s the difference between myself and half the people even a room of a 1,00 where I am the target demographic. I’m looking for a freaking answer they are looking to get high.
(Point of interest, some people did freak out after the following line, which the internet lists on several sites as you should pass young cheesy in parking lot but is actually blast young jeezy in a parking lot I had to wikipedia it, but it’s a rapper. ten points to them.)
all in all good show. (how do I still not have a mike doughty tag? that’s just stupid.
Odd weight ball ab class at the gym tonight. It was my first time taking it.
1) I’m not sure you know this, but I am a freakish fucking midget
2) I might have accidentally raised the elder gods. sorry.
So this largish abs balance ball that looks to be a reasonable size, you’ve seen it right? well the class uses them, which doesn’t seem that odd when you are sitting on them, but seems a lot weired when you are holding them in various positions around your body. Couldn’t see a thing. Damn ball is literally almost half my freaking height. Then for like 5 minutes were are moving that in these fluid positions, which look like physical prayers. there is jumping and swinging, and I was seriously worried that I had actually joined a cult by mistake. Then you add in the spastic techno music, which is little more than drum beat and chanting, and I worried in alovecraftian reality I would have done irrevocable damage to the balance of gods.
Finally we had to lie over the ball with our hand and feet touching the ground. Wait, what? Did I not mention the fucking freaky circus midget bit? It was just tips of finger and toes and holding on for dear life. Terrifying.
the internet is acting stupid and so is my email. I suppose I’ll watch tv until I fall asleep. Hope your night is well.
ciao.
