Been a while, hasn't it?

So yeah I don't update much because... well my life isn't that interesting, but today was good. I bought a house and got a website deal. The house isn't for me I am just gonna fix it up and sell, but it's pretty cool so I will be sad to let it go.  Other than that there was this family reunion Florida thingy, and some other stuff I don't really remember.  Basically its avoiding real work for as long as possible.  I have, however, noticed a severe decrease in my alcohol consumption since I left college, although I hope to remedy that once I get my own place which after a few more days like today will be relaitively soon.  Once that occurs there may be a designated day of the week to come over kill brain cells.

I know Kung Fu

So I don't really have anything to say but I thought that this was pretty fucking sweet http://science.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/06/03/0710219&from=rss .  So know they can read brain signals with a computer chip... how long till they can upload?

Graduated .... Now what?

So I have decided to take a bit of a break before really getting going on anything, but not much of one. Went house hunting with my dad for investment properties, and we found one which could turn out to be pretty good. The only down side is when we finished repairing it and upgrading it, it will be too fucking cool for words, and I will be really sad to sell it ... Hopefully any profits we make will change that though. Other than that I am not doing much, I got a website or 2 to do which should keep me through the summer. I am just not ready to enter the "real world" and hopefully I'll never have to :). Corporate life would most likely result in the death of me or a number of my fellow employees.

Currently Listening
10,000 Days
By Tool

see related
- Vicarious

Yeah I am a nerd

So, I had to go out today to get the new Tool Album becuase they are probably the best band that has ever been or ever will be, and unlike the Godsmack album these guys really came through it could be one of their best albums yet.  I don't normally post lyric quotes but it's a special occasion so here's the single of the album:

"Eye on the T.V
Cause tragedy thrills me
Whatever flavor
It happens to be

Like:
“Killed by the husband”
“Drowned by the ocean”
“Shot by his own son”
“She used the poison in his tea
And kissed him goodbye”
That’s my kind of story
It’s no fun til someone dies

Don’t look at me like
I am a monster
Frown out your one face
But with the other

Stare like a junkie
Into the T.V
Stare like a zombie
While the mother holds her child
Watches him die
Hands to the sky, crying
“Why, oh why?”

Cause I need to watch things die
From a distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all need and choose your own lie

Why can’t we just admit it?
Why can’t we just admit it?
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing
Neither the brave nor bold
Will write us the stories told
We won’t give pause until the blood is flowing

I need to watch things die
From a good safe distance
Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
You all feel the same so

Why can’t we just admit it?

Blood like rain falling down
Drawn by grave and ground
Part vampire, part warrior
Carnivore and voyeur
Still have the transmittal
Sing to the death rattle

La la la la la la la-lie (x4)

Credulous at best
Your desire to believe in
Angels in the hearts of men
But pull your head on out you hippies
and give a listen
Shouldn’t have to say it all again

The universe is hostile,
So impersonal
Devour to survive
So it is, so it’s always been

We all feed
On tragedy
It’s like blood to a vampire

Vicariously I
Live while the whole world dies
Much better you than I  "

The lyrics don't really do it justice without the music to back it up, but its still impressive. They tend to have a bit more going on than: my baby left me and dented my truck, or I gotta fuck some hoes and spend my money, that I got from writing songs about fucking hoes and spending money.
