good riddance

all i can say is thank the fucking lord gina was kicked off antm last night, i don't know if i could have taken yet another night of her whining and immaturity and stupidity and low self esteem, i understand she was scared of jade, but the only reason jade was like that to her is because she let her be, and if she cracks under the pressure and cries every episode there is NO way she could have made it in the real world. stupid gina

so we have apples and oranges, we are different but in the end we are all fruit

no one is original. even if you think you are, no one is. people have your exact birthday exact preferences, we are all the same, in different degrees. i think we all like to think we are under new circumstances, the magellans and columbus' of our time, discovering new things.no matter what you know, or don't know, thousands of people are exactly the same as you. we could each be neatly catergorized in to groups, nothing that is happening to you hasn't happened to someone in the past, or even at this exact moment. learn to live with it

i found it, heres the article (although its my un-edited draft, i didn't enjoy what the editor took out, and also added)

Ok, so the Silver hearts. When I first got wind of them it was because of my friend Dan. He was going on , saying he would actually move to Peterbourough to see them play ever Wednesday at the Montreal house. Obviously I made fun of him, because honestly, what’s in Peterbourough? Its your stereotypical one horse town. However, after seeing them live in early September, I can’t say that I wouldn’t gladly pack up my stuff and move with him.

The band is AMAZING. I know it is becoming cliché to mention in a Silver Hearts article, but the mere size of the band (ranging between 12 and 20 people) is in itself awe inspiring. Not only that but the range of instruments ( Theramin, Musical Saw, Dobro, Accordion, to name a few of the odder ones) give the music a fuller symphony like feel because there is so much layering of instruments and sounds.

Its hard to verbalize what type of music they play. Every song seems to have been marinated in hard liquor for months on end. There’s jazz, folk-rock, cabaret with a big band sound. Although they have been compared to Tom Waitts, this is largely because Pat Walsh (Harmonica and vocals) sounds eerily like him, and the band has covered Tom Waitts albums, but they are still not in the same category. The band seems to have created their own new genre, because they are unlike anything I’ve ever heard.

Their most recent album “Our Precious City” was recorded last fall in a Log Cabin outside Waterdown, Ontario. When asked trombonist for the band Tom Reader said that the perfect time of day to listen to this album would be at sundown with a bonfire, while Charlie Glasspool (Keyboards, trumpet and vocals) said the perfect time would be midnight. One could not concur more with both of them.

This music isn’t music you want to listen to at 8 am, and if you do you probably aren’t going to have a very good day. It’s not depressing or suicidal or anything of that nature, but a lot of it is very dark. To properly enjoy it you’d need a carton of cigarettes, a couple of 40’s of Jack Daniels and two or three friends with whom you can cynically reminiss about how love has kicked you in the ass.

I have many favorite Silver Hearts songs. The band itself knows between 80 and 100 songs so as you can imagine that they never play the exact same set. Some ultimate favorites are “It happens in Florida”, “Bluest Blues” and “Locust Hill” as well as “Lush Love”.

While listening to the album is good, the band is so animated and interactive that if you get the chance I highly suggest going to a show. Often the audience will get up and dance and the atmosphere is much more intimate. (Tom Reading said) “Because of the size of the band we’re generally not all playing at once. We may be leaving the stage, ordering drinks, looking at people or even getting rides back to Peterbourough” . This is why by the end of the night you will feel like you know the band better than you would at a normal concert.

I can’t stress how good this band is. I’ve been to everyone of their Toronto shows since I discovered that they were my new favorite band . And believe me, I’m still highly considering the move to Peterbourough.

when you told me what you told me was it just the whiskey talkin?

the silverhearts and andre ethier are performing together at last. well i actually saw them perform earlier in the year together, but, this is their cd release. its my two favorite artists together at last. heres the info, i think karis said they are trying and or need to get 500+ people so anyone and everyone should come.
FRIDAY APRIL 7, 2006
THE MOD CLUB THEATRE
722 COLLEGE STREET
8PM
$12.50 In Advance, $15.00 @ The door

and p.s. anyone who's seen them know this is a small price to pay for the delight they bring. while i don't think you can download any of the silverhearts songs i know you can download andre ethier's solo work and or the deadly snakes songs (for which he is the singer) although to be honest i don't reccomend downloading that highly for independent type people, they need the money. anyway they are amazing. i'm going to look for the article i wrote for them a while ago and try to post it here

And now, the story of a wealthy family who lost everything and the one son who had no choice but to keep them all together

it's arrested development. i cannot stress how good this show is. i feel like my life was so empty before, i didn't even know what i was missing. ha. anyway. i'm going to put up some of my favorite quotes (i watched both seasons in 1 sleepless night) also i watched the stewie griffin story (aka the family guy movie) and to be frank it was kind of lame, which is strange because i usually love everything about the show, although stewie and brian drunk was good.
anyway arrested development.

Michael: Not everything is strippers and booze and buckets of blood. Why do you guys have buckets of blood?
Gob: It's not real blood. It's, um, corn syrup and red dye. Juice.
Buster: We have unlimited juice? (laughs) This party is going to be off the hook.


Michael: We need to speak to you about getting a divorce for Gob.
Barry: Well, I got Michael out of his marriage, didn't I?
Michael: Actually, she died.
Barry: You're kidding me. I've been taking credit for that for years!


Lindsay: You know, we're not the only ones destroying trees. What about beavers? You call yourself an environmentalist, why don't you go club a few beavers?


George Sr.: I haven't had sex in a month.
Michael: You know, you've been here two months.
Pause
George Sr.: It's hard to gauge time.
Michael: Yeah. I'll bet.

Tobias: Okay, Lindsay, are you forgetting that I was a professional twice over - an analyst and a therapist. The world's first analrapist

thank god for stylists

oh my god. i have learned the BIGGEST lesson in compulsive actions. a) i decided spur of the moment to dye my hair red b) alexis offered to do it, but suggested bleaching it first. c) we bleached it TWICE because the first bleach "didn't take" (ignoring the don't bleach more than once every three weeks warning on the dye) that looked HORRENDOUS then we d) died it red, over that, and left it in for like 10 minutes, and came out with a HIDEOUS orangey red. then we e) decided to cut off 3 inches of my hair (as if that would help) keep in mind alexis is NOT a proffessional. then when that was over i went to bed. i have NEVER seen my hair so gross, and thankfully when i called my mom the next day she made an appointment for me at her salon, but now my hair is super short ( i also lied to them about how recent the dye job had been) and there was so much red in my hair that they couldn't dye it brown, so its a reddish brown. but if they hadn't been able to fix it, i wouldn't have left the house.

oscars

hey all. the oscars make me so emotional. i can't explain it. i haven't seen hardly any of the movies that were nominated, and frankly don't care about the people winning, however literally everyone that won, i was crying, and if they talked about family and or dead people, forget it. anyway, jon stewart was good, however it seemed like he was a bit nervous. saturday is the big day for alexis, her birfday partay. princess theme. at karis' house.
