Ingredients: Sugar, Artificial Flavor, Gum Arabic,...

...Gelatin, Glucose, Syrup, Natural Flavor.----WINTERFRESH ALTOIDS


ok so i was at the WINTERNATIONALS lastnight (BLUE MEANIES/MU330/METHADONES/NEW BLACK) and fuck me what a great show...glad i went...missed BLUE MEANIES @ double door the night prior w/ The Tossers and The Cougars (who i've heard AMAZING things about)--the Tossers i know kick ass....

...i saw the Blue Meanies @ the riverfront in Rockford back in 1998 or something, and local h opened up for them---i didn't think much of the Meanies, mostly-i think- b/c i didn't appreciate it as much as i do now....great show last nite---i didn't know any of the songs --except for Pave The World, Ace Of Spades (Motorhead cover), and You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch.

MU330 was kick ass--the singer/guitarist had a leg (or foot) injury and was in a chair w/ 'is leg up all show, but still managed to rock the fuck out....the last song he couldn't contain himself any longer and got up and rocked on one leg.

METHADONES kicked ass as always--playing tracks from their newest release, they sounded really good live--and of course old favourites from Career Objective such as Far Away, Ammunition, TV World, I'm About To Crack, and Say Goodbye To Your Generation...i strongly reccomend picking up BOTH of their albums under THICK RECORDS!!!!

New Black--well, it was interesting and i'm glad we got there while they were finishing up.....the sound was decent.

While at the show lastnight, i was thinking of different blogs i could do--but would be difficult--my friend MR. GORDON (http://gordgordgordon.blogspot.com) has put his 10 favourite albums of 2004, i was thinking of doing that, or my top 10 shows of the year, or just listing all the show's ive been to this year (but THAT may be rough)....so i may do all of the above.....

but first....

Isn't it amazing how you can feel/think/believe you're completely over someone, and you start breakin' out albums/ or tracks that you couldn't listen to at first b/c it reminded you of them, or some shit like that? well, i was in that place--i'm gettin over her and things are goin great. I'm happy, i'm meeting new people, i'm concentrating on work and furthuring myself in my career and all that hoopla....and i'm bustin' out shit i haven' t listened to like: All Across The Universe (Beatles), Something I Can Never Have (Nine Inch Nails), With Or Without You/All I Want Is You/Bad (U2), and other (cliche) favourites....well i'm doing FANTASTIC w/ all that. [as you can see from my cd collection--if you've seen it--or just my blogging, ive quite the ecclectic taste in music] ---on with the story---so i was lookin for something to pop in the ol' cd player to lie down to and go sleepy, and i figured, "hey, here's something" grabbing What If It All Means Something by Chantal Kreviazuk (wife of Our Lady Peace's lead-vocalist Raine Maida) and the entire album is a go, from start to finish...or so i thought. When i got to the last track (bonus track) Feels Like Home, i got chills, and i couldn't take it...images of her started popping in my head and i was remembering shit, but not the shit i'd LIKE to remember, to help me not want to be with her--no the GOOD things---that sucked. i had to shut the song off--i couldn't take it. And that sucks b/c i thought i was all good--something about this song i love the hell outta' it, great lyrics and beautiful music....check it out--Chantal has an amazing voice (and she's from Canadia!).

ok......so i'm gonna have to blog again soon b/c this is getting out of hand...I don't even want to tackle this blog in one sitting.

merry fucksmas,
love:
ME
