In avid pursuit of failure [October 7, 2006 | 9:18 pm] I got high last night. It's always wonderful to immediately begin feeling the depression setting in when the back of your throat's still burning - just such a pleasant, yet effective, reminder of just how beautifully I manage to fuck everything up. At least I'm a consistant disaster. Wouldn't it just throw all of you off if I managed to do something right for a change? Dear me, we can't allow that to happen. I'm a joke. I'mnotlaughing. Have your fun. 2: read | post | add | edit

Hi? Underoath? Suck my balls. [September 8, 2006 | 6:31 pm] Although I seriously doubt that any member of the critically acclaimed band will ever get within seven and a half miles of this, I'm writing it anyways, dammit. Dear Underoath- Let me just start by saying that I like your music. I'll even say that it is exceptional. Do I break into dance in public areas whilst listening to it? Yes. Do I even sing along? Of course. I have absolutely no problem with the music that you boys churn out. I do, however, have a problem with you boys. Until reading an issue of AP months and months ago, I had no idea about the men behind the music. In fact, the only opinion I'd formed on Underoath was that they were a symbol of bad luck for me, as to this day I have a bone chip loose in my forehead that was kicked off of my skull by a crowdsurfer during your set at Bamboozle '05. But after reading that interview, which detailed sobriety to the point of cutting out carbonated beverages and late-night snacks and mentioned steadfast religious beliefs, I started thinking that maybe Underoath consisted entirely of whiny vegan fags. And the word "fags," conveniently enough, brings me to my next point. I am bisexual. I dig guys. I dig girls. I dig anyone, regardless of gender. Because why should it matter? Sure, not everyone finds people of the same sex attractive, but should one be born with their mind and body so inclined, why the fuck does it spell out instant persecution? Why should we be singled out and treated differently when the Constitution itself states that NO American citizen, regardless of race, gender, or religious group, should ever be treated differently than another. Hence, we no longer have slaves and women are able to vote and there's not a modern-day Holocaust going on. So I'm asking you, because Christians in this country seem to be all-knowing and the ultimate source of authority - why are we, as Americans, not permitted to single out or offer different treatment to any group, except for gays? Because not allowing somebody to get married - that's taking away a basic civil right. Not allowing somebody to adopt a child - that too. It's unconstitutional bullshit founded by Christian leaders with Christian ideas and obviously a complete disregard for the American institution of freedom and equality. Just because something bothers the God-fearing portion of our nation does not mean that they have the right to ban it. Ban gay Christians from gettin married and I don't care. But don't force YOUR moral views upon the rest of us. And again, this leads me to yet another point. You all claim that you're not trying to coerce anybody to come over to the Dark Side and join the Christian ranks. Well, this, too, is bullshit. You play a show in front of thousands of fans who would eagerly run to Hot Topic the next day and drop three hundred bucks on clothes simply because you were sporting them, dedicate the set to Jesus, and never think that maybe these kids are slightly influenced by you? That, by even mentioning Christianity, you're inclining them in that direction? Your fans absolutely idolize you, and they'd do whatever you tell them. You're selling them on the idea of God and you damn well know you are. Oh, and maybe doing a four-page interview centered entirely on what good Christians you are and how amazing Christianity makes your life could be considered recruiting, too. Just a thought. Today, I'm setting down my Underoath records. There'll be one less face in the crowd at your concerts, one less CD on rotation in a passing car. Because I simply refuse to listen to a band that's composed of people who are morally opposed to who I am as a person and who I choose to be with. You don't want me to get married? Alright, that's your problem, and I'd like for your White Anglo-Saxon Protestan government to not make it mine. You want to sell me on your religion? Alright, fuck you. 0: read | post | add | edit

[March 12, 2006 | 3:56 pm] [ music | "Cars Pass in Cold Blood" - The Faint ] Things that Make Sense when High and ONLY when High, Part Two: “You’re gonna drop the bowl and it’s gonna kill our baby. WHY’D YOU KILL THE BABY? Well stop feeding him so much, he’s fat. Stop poking him with that fork.” ...actually, I'm not quite sure that made sense while high, either. Hm. 0: read | post | add | edit
