here's my new hook idea:
"cuz you're not who you say you are, no you're not who you say you are, you said you're not who you say you are, no you're not who you say you are."
that would be repeated over and over on top of this beat: boom chick ba-boom boom chick chick but sort of toned down, kinda like how the drums on the jenny lewis record sound and a nice little piano lick laid in there somewhere. you should work on that.
**************
my new favorite lyric for the moment is "are you what church people mean by the good news?" from Why?'s tune 'Simeon's Dilemma'
**************
i kinda want to see 'Get Smart'. here's why: A) i still think think steve carrel is pretty funny and B) i've never seen a movie with the rock in it that i didn't totally love ("the rundown" anyone?)
**************
t-minus 5 days until i get "carried away"

biker punks

place: downtown minneapolis
time: 6:30
action: driving, looking for your parents house. striving, to find a piece of you. and I saw a punk rock show in a car garage.

exchange parents house with parking ramp. trade piece of you with a parking space. switch punk rock show with biker punks.
don't tell me to move over when a) you're passing me, b) i was moving over, c) i really don't want to run into you. here's some advice: start wearing helmets, ride in bike lanes, ask politely when you want something (a simple human manipulation tactic).

you're the reason i have a problem with some (not all) urban bikers. but your girlfriend was pretty cute.

do dooooo do
bop baaaaa bop

i should have been more confident with my post yesterday. now both ds can go fade away.

so admittedly i may be a bit wrong about a.i. for the last 5-6 weeks i figured it would come down to the two davids. i was a little unsure until that dude from australia got the boot. much to my chagrin tonight was the showdown between big and little d. i was pretty sure that big david would beat little d, but i'm sad to say i may be wrong. i guess you could argue that da dominated dc tonight. but i'd argue the opposite. both were extremely predictable. the a.i. medium is set up much better for ac's style. i mean it seems to be much easier to convey sappy ballads (especially when thats all you do!!!!!!! over and over again!!!!!) than punk rock. watch late night tv and you'll get it.

i'm still saying that D.C. will win (stick to your convictions right?). i'm just not that convinced by it.

on hell's kitchen patrosa and jen made it one step closer. but wouldn't be surprised if jen gets kicked off next week.

the heart is a lonely hunter

3 words, "best chorus ever."

The muscle and bone - they encase my heart but never touch my soul.
I'll save that for the water and its shore, fear makes friends with joy.

And I'll march slowly and I'll never forget
How the music stopped or the feel of your breath.

The flesh and the blood - they keep my body warm but still my mind is cold.
To know what's fair is not always fair, but what proves real will never flee.

And I'll march slowly and I'll never forget
How that black dress fell upon your white neck.
Grand Isle rests quiet this time of year
And I know you will be leaving soon my dear

"life handed us a paycheck, we said 'we worked harder than this'"

i'm starting to get caught up with all the happenings of these chicks

the drama is sooooo intense.
really though i just want to watch 'i'm from rolling stone', but they don't have that online anywhere that i can find.

at what age do you stop hanging around college hipster bars and start hanging out at VFWs?
when do VFWs become hip? do they make you want to party?

i think that hell's kitchen will come down to patrosa and jen. ben was a hack and an ass. i'm glad he's gone.

cook will win a.i.

4482 songs and I don't want to listen to any of them.

"Evening Owls"

why do i keep coming back here?
this coffee shop used to be for the reclusive.
now its a flashy trend spot, hot shot.
we should go to L.A. and dress fancy, and become reality TV stars.
they have classes for that, don't they?
i once read a book that i didn't understand.
it was filled with satirical puns and witty banter, which made it irresistibly cool. unlike this.
she's kinda shy, and only smokes half of her cigarette, and sort of makes you laugh.
she's sooo retro, thats why you dig her.
didn't this place have a stalker kid behind the counter?
i wonder if he ever got his crush.
how about those kids that make good with their accounting degrees? they become assholes.
but hey, i really like that sweatshirt, and your new remix.
so as i sit here starring out a window, across a one way street, at a decrepit pedestrian bridge that leads to the 2nd largest University in nation,
i think "what the fuck."
and then,
"well hey did you get some? man, that is so dumb."

the affair
