THE WORLD CUP OF BLOGS

I hope all you jive turkeys had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families cause I had a good time at WORK. Working on Thanksgiving is very depressing/painful.

My roommate, the teacher, was on Oprah's giveway show on Monday. The fact that there will be a flatscreen TV hanging from our wall makes 2005 look very promising. Just in case you didn't know 2004 was the worst year ever. Filled with lies, robbery, full blown depression, etc. Maybe I'll get into detail and have an end of the year review to go along with my awards show for 2004.

The Nirvana box set is so-so.

The Arcade Fire show was superb. Truly superb.

At the beginning of 2004 I made a list of goals that I wanted to achieve including running 20 times. Now, I know what you are saying "20 times. In one year?" You see for the 2nd shift, chemically imbalanced person this task is hard work. So hard that I find myself still having to run 11 more times before the year is over. 11 more times...

I haven't been able to do anything internet related due to everyone hiding there prized possessions, like laptops. That's what happens when you live with a criminal.

Anyways, the Pixies where great on Wednesday. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest. You all had great entries. Sadly, nobody won because no one entered. Not to worry, I did find myself in the company of another human that night so I don't need your pity. I AM NEVER HAVING A CONTEST AGAIN! YOU HEAR ME!?!? Back to the concert... The 1,2,3 punch of "In Heaven," "Where's is My Mind," "Holiday," gave me a Porkenheimer- like bulge in the crotch area. Everything was going great until this couple stumbles into me and then proceed to make out heavily for the rest of the show. By making out, I mean inhaling each others faces, and boob grabbing, and below the belt massaging. It was horrible. They ruined the show for me. Nothing about the Pixies says "Please finger me in front of 5,000 people." It was disgusting.

In other news, I made a great mix last night in hopes that it will help me DJ at a local bar, which will remain nameless until they tell me yes or no. Possible DJ names:
DJ Awesome Dawson
The Colombian Cowboy
DJ Fuckface
DJ Tanner
DJ Ricodiculous

What's your favorite? By the way, I've never DJed anything in my life. No matter if I get it or not, I'll still have a good mix tape to listen to while in the shower.

Last night I found myself attracted to Mischa Barton for the first time. I think it's because of her love affair with the Latin garden boy. I'd like to believe that I now stand a chance with her. I'd like to believe that I now also have a chance at becoming Attorney General.

Oh boy, I'm so excited for the Pixies. Still no takers...

P.S. I just got a fresh fade.

Seriously folks, not all at once. I know it's a free Pixies ticket, but you guys are just filling up the inbox over at Hotmail. Did I mention that Urge Overkill is opening up. When was the last time Urge Overkill played the Aragon? I can't remember either. When's the next time Urge will play the Aragon? Probably never. I think I got a bigger response when I had a contest and all I was giving away was a can of beans. Listen to "Heaven 90210" by UO and that might help you change your mind or at the very least make your day.

In other news, there will be a "Bands Reunited" on the Smiths on Thursday night. Awesome Dawson.

I was supposed to go see the Pixies on Sunday, but I have to work. With that said, I have purchased tickets for the Wednesday show with hopes that my boss will let me work during the day. Now here's the deal. If I can't go I will be giving the tickets away at face value. Email me and let me know you are interested. If I can go, I need somebody to go with(everbody I know is going on Sunday). Therefore, I am resurrecting "The Contest". I believe this is Contest #9. Email me one reason why you want the ticket and the best answer will win one ticket and a Wednesday night with me. Totally hot.

In other news, I am still totally devasted that my roommate/best friend stole something from me... We are still looking for new roommate. I want to make the search for a new roommate into a reality show, or at the very least I'll write about it on this blog where the reader can then decide who moves in.

After a little grilling, one of my roommates admitted to stealing my bass. That's right, one of my roommates and best friends stole my $600 bass. Lesson learned: "Users are losers, and losers are users. So don't use drugs, don't use drugs." I'm still in a little disbelief. With that said, anybody know of somebody looking to rent a room in a hot apartment, with three charming men. We've got TiVo, and the first season of "What's Happening" on DVD. What else do you need?

Last night I went to the Bulls game which was a thrilling double overtime loss. Best part of the game was when they started playing "Jump" by Van Halen during a time out and then bam! Right on the Jumbotron, Mr. Alex Van Halen enjoying the game in a sky box. Awesome.

I'm totally depressed. The transition from denial to full blown depression was very quick one. I hate how there is the talk now of unity among the split population. That is complete bullshit. It makes me angry that Kerry suggested that in his speech yesterday, and that people would believe that Bush is actually interested in unifying the country. How can you unify a country by spreading ideals such as homophobia, war, and lies. I can't believe that moral values was the biggest issue among voters. What is moral about lying? Isn't thou shall not lie a commandment? On the positive side, after the next the four years Bush can no longer be president. We also only have to wait two years before Democrats start showing interest for 2008.

In other news, the first O.C. is tonight. A very reliable source(the T.V. Guide Channel) tells me that there is a new Latino character on show. Yes, I know we are everywhere. Sadly, he is Mrs. Cooper's gardener. I remember ten years ago on 90210 there was Jesse Espinoza. He was Andrea's boyfriend and if I remember correctly he or his dad owned an ice cream truck. We've made major progress...

TiVo viewing will commence at around 11pm. You're all invited.

Dear U.S.A and the Rest of the World,

You're totally fucked now.

Sincerely,

The M.H.

P.S. I think it's time for an armed revolution

I just voted. Not only did I just vote for president, but I voted for president inside the "Happy Village" which make the experience simply amazing. I thought I was going to vote at a school when in complete disbelief I see that the address on my voting card was a perfect match to the address on the Happy Village's door. Woah.

In other news, I'm totally pumped up/completely nervous to go to work today. I couldn't sleep last night. The combination of it being the biggest election in years/biggest day in my work career is driving my crazy. I've been having an anxiety attack since 3pm yesterday. Wish me luck. I wish you and us the same.

Vote Kerry.

Everday is like Monday. Everyday is silent and gray. My bass is still missing. Have you seen it? I think I might make signs and post them around the area, just to make the robber feel bad. Sadly, I think I know who stole it. Very sad.
