Crap song of the moment? Maroon 5's 'She Will Be Loved'. Shame too, their other songs are so good and quite refreshing in the current stagnant musical climate. They finally showed the Grammys in Oz! I was pleasantly surprised. Ahhh Alicia Keys, damn her awesomeness and fineness and all round super goodness! Haha! How great did she look???! I was disappointed by Velvet Revolver's performance with the "all stars". What the hell is the point in having one of the world's greatest lead guitarists if you won't let him solo for at least 5 seconds?! So subdued and lacking energy. Granted, it was for a Tsunami benefit thing, but shite, there has to be some colour! Steve Tyler and Stevie Wonder went off! I am also amazed by Scott Weiland's singing technique. I didn't really listen to any Stone Temple Pilots stuff until the other told me to and was shocked to see that he used to sing with a tinge of southern drawl. Now he has this crazy, deep way of just delivering the lyrics in this "I know better than all of you" way! Another disappointment was John Mayer's performance of Daughters. Considering how much the other loves it, and how much praise it got from critics, he just didn't do it justice. Note to all, don't ever perform a strictly acoustic song on an electric guitar, we all remember what happened to Bob Dylan! Don't get me wrong, Mayer is one of the best guitar freaks around at the moment, but sometimes I think he doesn't try because he knows he is a freakin' genius.
So it's Easter, and it's a long weekend. So what do I find myself doing? Slacking to the extreme and homework! How sad?! Oh well, when all my stuff is done early, I can sit pretty and be glad. My car is back!! Hooray! I can finally get around without worrying when I need to! Good since it's a fast car and I can destroy any of those crazy rev head folk who drive like psychos during peak hour trying to kill everyone!
The news has been reporting that there's been a sharp increase in the numbers attending evangelical churches such as Hillsong! One of my friends attended a service of theirs a few weeks back and said it was just absolutely freaky. I don't think there's anything wrong with having some zeal when it comes to religion and what not. But there are some places which just shove their beliefs right into other people's faces and that's just too much. What's even worse is when they showed the people in there and interviewed a few of them, they were all young and attractive folks! Ahhhh fantastic, more great looking women I can't have, hehe!
Humans are stupid! We are the only species that uses the concept of currency! When you think about the concept of money from an objective standpoint it just seems utterly stupid. People work their entire lives for specially marked pieces of paper! These pieces of paper determine your place in society and what you can do with your life. It can crush dreams, it can make others. People kill for it. Wars have been fought over it. It's just nonsensical. Too bad we don't live in a world where people want to do their best to ensure the best for everyone. The problem is, people have different interests. Even worse, people feel the need to do better than other people, so the concept of money is needed.
Consumerism is screwed. It has led to the social decay of civilisation. Case in point? Mothers who shop with their pre-teen daughters for the sluttiest and skimpiest piece of clothing they can find! I sincerely hope you aren't living vicariously through your daughters! Just keep an eye out for Supre the next time you walk past there. Some girl in the dressing room and her mother going "oh I think this will look good for your binge drinking session this weekend" and point to a top with 'Yes boys, I do take it up the ass' on it. Responsible parenting is a pipe dream. Especially with this new 3 grand baby bonus. For our overseas guests, the government has announced that all families who have a baby will receive 3 thousand dollars, no questions asked. It sounds good for the legitimate families, but think about the possible repercussions it could have - young mothers, people having a baby just for the money etc. Then there was also the deal with universities being severely restricted financially and administratively. They're trying to ensure victory with the dumb vote for the next election already. They want people to leave High School and take up trades. Don't worry, I'm not coming down on school leavers, but sheeit, it is true that the uneducated will believe any bullshit scare tactics story when you are trying to win an election. You'll know what I'm alluding to (this being Australia, and the Liberal Gov. in power), but 'nuff said.
Woo, note to self: take pics of that park with the other and offer explanations on here. OHH and another note to self, post that school pic on here! You'll enjoy it, trust me!
That's it for tonight folks! Have a nice day.
