Slacker Ass Facebook Repost!

Cause I am lazy. Look it's a post!

The Rules : Once you have been tagged, you are supposed to write down the top 25 songs you cannot live without. The ones you can listen to over and over and never get tired of. They don't have to be in any particular order. These are the songs that make you laugh, cry, think of an old friend, whatever the reason. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you.

I don't tag. I'm a slacker. If you wanna play, play on ;0 That said this list changes daily. Hell sometime hourly. And while I could try to keep it to one song per artist, I have only had about half a cup of coffee and that ain't enough. So this is pretty loose and represents the first 25 songs I could really think of off the top of my head.

The first three? Yeah well bite me and blow the rules, I need the entire catalogue for these bands. It's just how I roll :P

Context And The Stupid Fucking Public- The John Mayer Debate

This started out as a rant on a friend's Facebook page and then I said fuck it, blog it. The whole John Mayer broohaahah has reached EPIC fucking stupidity when he is lumped together with a woman beater like Chris Brown, a deadbeat dad like Gosslin and Tiger HO HO HO I GOT WOODS.Putting Mayer in that category is really really insulting to anyone who ever has been abused. Period. It's just not funny. *I* don't find it funny.

To everyone getting your panties in a wad, have you read the entire Playboy interview with him? Or are you just going off of your fucking brain trusts Twitter on it? If you are a woman and are all offended by his woman hating, gosh she was so hot I couldn't stop banging her comments, I gotta ask. No one ever tell you that you were good in bed? With that fucked up repressed attitude I am not surprised. And guys? Jealous much? Cause come the fuck on, if you were him you'd be riding that pussy wagon too.

He had nothing but wonderful things to say about Aniston, last I checked being called sexual napalm is a compliment and he quite rightly pointed out that if he DID have a "hood pass" he COULD call it a nigger pass. He was pointing out the inherent contradiction in that term. And oh yes, I used that word. Because sometimes, just fucking sometime, the context in which it is used is to argue an intellectual point and NOT to be used as fucking racial slur. ARE WE SO FUCKING STUPID WE DON'T GET THE DIFFERENCE?! Because people have STOPPED looking at context and now only believe the sound bites they have been fed by the media. And some wonder just why our society is going to shit. Because most people are fucking stupid. FUCKING STUPID.

As for the David Duke cock comment? While it probably was not the smartest thing to say I am also fairly sure that pretty much everyone has one type and/or race that just does not do it for them as a sexual turn on. The sad fact is that in PLAYBOY freakin magazine - again back to context here, it's FUCKING PLAYBOY - someones sexual preference gets blown out of proportion. Guess I got a David Duke twat cause sorry my Hispanical Friends but the Latin Lover does nothing for me. Alert the fucking media. I am obviously a racist.

I am sure this has probably pissed some long time readers off, and if that is the case, well, too fucking bad. We can agree to disagree and quite frankly if you are really, truly, deeply as morally offended by Mayer's interview as you are by Chris Brown bashing the shit out of a woman, well frankly I don't fucking care if I offended you. If you think he is racist for the use of the word nigger (oh shiz I used it again!!) when we have idiot people hanging our Black President in effigy, well then go suck a bag of dicks.

Oh and to provide a little CONTEXT here is the interview.

Well How Do You Do? A Kiss On The Cheek

Colds are the suck. This one is not even a really good cold. By that I mean that it lacks the balls to really be a slay me kind of cold. It's more of a pain in the ass cold. Back at work today. Whoo hoo. Gonna get my scrambled eggs on in a few. Please God, let me not get 50 thousand stupid agent questions.

So our move is looking to be end of July/first of August. Oh damn I will be out of town for that :P Boss does not know this yet. She will soon though, I gotta buy those plane tickets next month. Three cheers for rewards miles!

Let's see what of interests is coming up. Uhhh.....nothing. And can I just say HOT DAMN to that? Been a drama filled fall/winter what with the cats and Kidlet deciding to test out inpatient hospitalization amenities. I think I might stick the Kid in the car next weekend with her La Foo camera and go for a drive to the beach.

Musically the Kid and I are hoping to hit Muse in April. We of course have U2 in June. And can I just say g'damn is there a SHIT ton of new music out that I adore? First and foremost Broken Bells. Or Gnarly Shin as Kidlet calls it. And then there is this one that I kept getting the last 20 seconds or so of on the radio. It was making me nucking futs :P Until someone kindly got me the entire song. Sanity is mine!

White Rabbits - Percussion Gun. LOVE THE DRUMS!

Genius Is As Genius Does

Genius? Sometimes. There are times I look at the playlists created using the Genius function on Cherry Darling and wonder what the help they are thinking in iPod land. And then there are lists like this one that totally capture my mood based on the original song I use to build it. Cherry queued up The Pogues Love You Till Then End, a song I adore even if it ain't Shane singing. So on a whim I hit Genius to see what list it would make me. Color me impressed. Two thumbs up!

Happy Birthday To Me

So like woot and shit, it's my birthday :P

I got a big day of work and a vet visit. And hopefully a beer on my couch when I get home. We did my birthday dinner last week. Mom made friend chicken, mash potatoes, gravy, salad and the most amazing Kale and Chard sauteed with bacon and shallots. I would have happily swam in an olympic sized pool of that. Followed up by cherry pie. I ate enough to keep me going for two days. Literally. Mom also gave me my grandfathers baptismal cross which made me go look for one of our more colorful relatives online. Found a great picture which I will be using for Wordless this week and another of my grandmother and several of her sisters as well. Pretty cool.

And with that, I am off to finish watching Red Dawn. Birthday shmirthday :P

Livin Bloggin The Hell No We Got No Kanye Edition Of The Grammys

Live Bloggin..Grammy Style!!

Gaga and Captain Fantastic was fucking genius. That was meant to happen.

Ok Colbert is funny. Keep Colbert.

And I have a feeling if Beyowolf is up for an award she is gonna get it. Keep Kanye Sane, y'all. It's shame cause frankly that song is not all that and a bag of chips. I'd have rather seen Gaga or Taylor Swift get it. Yeah, I said Taylor Swift. I like her and I love that song. Sue me :P

And we have the whole reason I am watching! I loves Green Day and I am just pleased as can be the show is going to Broadway. Cause having the balls to turn your album into a Broadway musical? THAT'S Punk. Fuck the naysayers. Fuck em right in the goat ass.

Oh COME ON...this is a no brainer. What song should The Jovi do? Livin' On A Prayer. DUH.

Go Taylor! YAY!

Oh goodie. It's Beyonce. Bringing us what I am sure will be another wonderful display of her "LOOK! I have a vagina!" dance moves. Oh I stand corrected....the classic crotch grab to demonstrate the imaginary package. Got ya. Homegirl has an impressive weave though. That shit stays put. I prefer Alanis. Cause I don't buy Beyonce going down on anyone in a theater. Nuh uh.

Um...Can we HAVE a Leonard Cohen song at least? Sheesh.

Pink has come a long way.

Bono!

I know they won't win but I sure wish it would be MGMT or The Ting Tings. Sigh. K, moving on.

Ahh, The Disney Skank Whore. Miley Whorus. Shut up, future porn star.

Smartest move The Peas ever made was Fergie. I may not like all their music but that girl can sing. Actually that was pretty entertaining.

Say NO to JoBros!

Meh. Lady Anticlimactic or whatever the hell they are called. Sounds like Seals and Croft with a twang. Dudes hair is hella Miami Vice.

Colbert cracks me up =)

You know if Norah and Ringo collab'd I bet it would be pretty damn good.

For the record, Mack the Knife is the shiz.

Lord no Beyo. Or Peas. KoL or Gaga or Taylor would be fine. YAY! KoL!! They were my first choice and I love them boys.

LOL, RDJ takin the piss out of himself. Loves him to. And yes RDJ Thank God you are here. I like Jamie Foxx too. Ahh...THE BEST PART of November Rain. The Slash solo.

LOL I'd like to see a Katy Perry and Alice Cooper collab as well.

I love that AC/DC are nom'd. But I wants Green Day to win it. Yeah I said it, over U2. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GD for teh win!

I want to have shots with Billie Joe and KoL too!

Leon Russell is the shiz. Wish they had let him do Delta Lady. The rest of it? Eh.

Seacrest In! Taylor On! That girl has the most amazing hair. If I could have Taylor Swift's hair I might be okay with being blonde. Oh cool, Stevie Nicks. I like this version of You Belong with Me. Of course I just like the song in general. She has talent for sure.

And the MJ tribute.

Wow..just checked the Alternative album award on line and Phoenix won it! Excellent!

Usher needs to deal with his dramz and get back to music. Jennifer Hudson has lost a lot of weight post pregnancy. She looks great. Smokey is still the man. What a voice. I gotta say it is nice that they actually got 5 people with REAL voices and not studio gimmicks. Cause they do all have that in common. Celine, Usher, Carrie, Smokey and Jennifer did a nice job on that. Song was not bad either. Vocally Michael sure still had it. Oh my the kids. What a poised little boy. Made a JoBro cry.

Sheryl Crow looks lovely as usual.

It's Jovi Time. Man I wish we could go to Seattle and see them. That's right, I am a Bon Jovi fan. John looks better now that he did in the 80's. Now then, it better be Prayer that won the online vote. Damn skippy, people!

Mos Def and Placido. Wow :P

ON A BOAT MOTHERFUCKERS! But no that shiteous song with that hot tranny mess Rihanna won. Blech. Move along. LOL...they didn't bring Kanye ;)

Wyclef doing the Haiti shout outs. Snap on the record companies comment =) Mary J Blige. Will she be pitchy?! Film at 11. Wow, nice version of Bridge Over Troubled Water by Mary and Bocelli. Mary is NOT pitchy this even, she is bringin it. I'd buy this.

Adam Sandler is win. Love his movies. Love his vulgarities. Love the Sandler.

Ahh Dave Matthews Band. They are playing in Atlanta when I will be there for Blogfest. I wanna see them. Badly.

Really? I gotta say I am really fucking tired of Beyonce. Prefer her over Rihanna though.

Marshall Mathers coming up!

LOVED Jeff Beck and Imelda May. LOVED IT. Go look her up. Irish Rockabilly Girl. I gotta look into her stuff. One of my favorite moments of the night.




Wow Kanye is on the song and yet, he ain't there. M! And Travis Barker.

That Taylor Swift is adorable. If it couldn't be Gaga or DMB I am glad she got it.
