Make You Feel Better - Red Hot Chilli Peppers |

So I was busy yesterday filling out this study sheet my misguided wench of a teacher gave me. Its THREE FUCKING PAGES of just terms and the number comes out to about 120. I spent the better part of 2 hours just doing half of them. Fucking HALF! So somehow before next Wednesday (this is the real spelling, I have struggled with this word for years) I have to come up with both a three minute editing project and take a fucking midterm. GODDAMN! I hate this stupid prerec class. And the best part is I get to take the second course next semester.
I went the other day to get an external hard drive for one of my classes. So i went to Best Buy, I pick up the goddamn thing. Yea and the case to put it into (If you don't get this line, read the first act of Much Ado About Nothing by Billy Shakespear, who, According to LFO, wrote alotta Sawnettes...."Summer Girls" a.k.a. "Worst Song Ever"). So I take this thing up to the cashier where she struggles witht the anti-theft device for 20 minutes. I wasnt really bothered cause what the hell was I doing that was so important. In fact She and I had a pleasant conversation about the Halloween store. Finally we got that shit done so I write the check out for the expensive piece of crap and a new problem. For no reason at all other than it doesnt want to, the machine refuses to accept the check. So with a sincere apology the cashier gives me the manufacturers number to call and see what the problem. I got this: "We have preventative measures in place to prevent identity theft. Nothings wrong with your check but it still set off some of our preventative measures.........The mechant has been notified, This is all the info our agents have as well as our automated service." I got blown off by a fucking robot. I resisted the urge to pitch my phone out onto Rosevelt Blvd in my frustration. So began the mad dash of Joshua Ferrell. I raced to Parkwood to get to the bank before it closed. I tried a new anger reducing technique on the way. I exlain to myself exactly why I'm angry. It actually works really well, because it helps reach those layers underneath the top one. So I uncovered my anger about this whole class. then I got to the bank just in time, got the money....and a little extra for my trouble, went back to Best Buy and bought the goddamned thing. The whole time I kept thinking "Livejournal shall hear of this!" which makes me a terrible nerd and/or blogger.
Theres this keyboard part in "Never Let you Go" by Third Eye Blind and its the cutest thing ever. I love playing with the equalizer and hearing new things! Speaking of new things; I just downloaded some more of "The Con" last night. I now have "Dark Come Soon" and "Living Room" from that album. I love Tegan and Sara but alot of "The Con" wasn't that good. It was like what "Sam's Town" was to the Killers. "So Jealous" was excellent there was not hitting or missing with that album. It was pure unadulterated ROCK! But I only like 5 or 6 of their new songs. I'm kinda glad I missed the concert on Friday because I saw a goup of kids all wearing T&S concert tees...they wew all scene as hell. I dont know if I could have dealt with the entire Electric Factory filled with them. Gabby told me as much, but I was hoping it wasn't true.
I was chilling with Jake and Gabby the other night and we were watching the TV, and they turned on "19-2000" by the Gorillaz, which they frequently cover....OMG they are so much better than the original its not funny. I find that to be a running theme, they cover songs and I, thinking they will be just as awsome if not more so, go and download them only to be greatly dissapointed. "Mushaboom" by Fiest, "19-2000" By the Gorillaz, "Nights of the Living Dead" by....um...uh some crackahs, and even "Loving Is What I Got" by Subblime. Hell they even made "My Love" by Justin Timberlake (Or Justin "Gonna-b-gay soon" Timberlake if you go by his real name) Bearable. Jake yelled at me for saying this. "We are not better than all these people" and I just said "yes you are". Like I'm really happy that I can honestly say to my best friends that they are one of my favorite bands. So if you haven't checked them out yet....FUCKING DO IT! www.reverbnation.com/jakegabbydodallas Go there now.
Ok this chair is hurting my spine

Golly gee, Sarah Palin's coming to Philly to raise some money. That hockey mom, Joe Six-pack lady who we've all come to know and, well, love.
She's friendly, she's just like us, and she's hell bent on pushing her good ol' fashioned faith and values on the American public. On Saturday, Oct 11th, let's greet her with all the style and grace she'd bring to the vice presidency.
The THOUSAND PALIN MARCH FOR MORE AIDS
"condoms are good for target practice, but nuthin' else"
Sat, Oct 11th
The Bellevue Hotel
200 S. Broad Street
3:30pm
Come dressed in your best Palin outfit. Bring your field-dressed moose. Got a big (fake) gun - bring it. Sport your lipstick and hockey jersey. Put your hair up in a bun and put on some fancy glasses. We'll bring the Palin masks, you bring your interpretation of what Sarah Palin looks like. We're gathering outside the fundraiser to show Sarah Palin as she really is - a far-right wing ultra-conservative governor who believes abstinence-only works (except for her own family), the profits of big corporations should be protected more than the lives of millions, and our future should be entrusted to the guys who got us into this mess. Gosh darn it, she sure is one of us!
Sponsored by ACT UP Philadelphia, which is commemorating its 20th anniversary as the nation's largest volunteer-run AIDS activist group led by people living with HIV.

Ok So,
I woke up this morning after having woken up several thousand times during the night due to my annoyingly lucid dreams. I was exahstued and felt like my body had been beaten with sticks but I got out of bed anyway. I ate my burned waffles and then cleaned up dog vomit. Then I went to the train station but forgot my trailpass so I had to drive all the way back home and get it out of a book it took me 10 minutes to find. I get to the station having to pay second parking fee, then get on the overly crowded and eerily silent train.
So all in all so far its been a lackluster day at best. I brought my laptop with me today because looking for a computer in the library is like a bunch of hawks circling for a rabbit. Unfortunately I have to find some crazy way to connect to the internet. And currently all I've been able to do is futz around and frustrate myself. I will be extatic when this day is over, I'm near hair-ripping levels of pissed-offedness. About now, me and youtube are having an epic battle to get the blog I made weeks ago up. This is a battle that has raged for about 2 weeks now and it looks like I might not fail this time. But I'm fairly certain I'll be punished for that tidbit of optimism.
Onto the next topic. Old people forcing me to listen to their terrible terrible 80's music. I CANNOT STAND hair bands and yet every year without fail some old fuck tries to put out a compilation album but half their band died of a heroine overdose over 20 years ago. And all the old people are like "WOW this is almost as good as the old band!" and heres me cowering in a corner, Covering my ears and trying to keep from going insane. Also at work they keep on Preston and Steve who play nothing but Nickleback and Breaking Benjamin, who have acheived what no bands before them have. They have managed to make every single one of their songs sound exactly alike (also included in this number is the Fray...who suck alota balls). Nickleback makes me fucking cringe. Photograph is one of the most terrible boring and mediocre songs I've ever heard and that includes anything from Jewish Hanson (Jonas Brothers). And why do you fuckers keep playing fucking "Rock Star". It's the stupidest song EVER! And what the fucks with rap these days? Its always just some assholes saying "Yo Uh" 50 times occasionally Lil John/wayne/bowwow/kev will come on and yell "Yeah!" and "Okay". This fucker is rich because he says 2 fucking phrases. Remeber when rap was good....it was technically before my birth but yes I do. I remember a long time, you had to have skill to be a rapper....now you just need to wear something shiny.
It seems the only thing worth listening to is the indie scene which up until now was the place where weird chicks who played the cello and such would go. Now its the place where the people with talent go because the big companies wont hire them. I hate the music industry.
Ok enough ranting today

[01 Oct 2008|09:04pm] |
Ok Kids,
I've decided since I'm now fully immersed in the gaming industry to give you people a weekly heads up on the kind of crap that Is no prevading what was once a pure and just market.
OK numero uno, Hannah Montana.... ..they turned this crazy concept into a game! Oh wow a whole fucking album based off of a subpar kids show, how can it get better...OH WOW! a GAME based on a subpar kids show. Back in my day we called bitches who don wigs and pretend they're different people scitzo, but thats just us. Can someone tell me what that hell can you possibly do in the Hannah Montana Game? Walk around and make mediocre music with a repedative sound, with themes about going to school and being popular? I know what your thinking "Josh, its a kids game chill." NO fuck you, kids games back in my day rocked they were those jump start things that kicked ass, and you learned things while playing them. Also we had pokemon which I still play to this day because Its awsome. If the youth of this nation wasn't doomed before this came out it is now. I mean they were gonna be dumb anyway because our education system and number of competent parents is on a steady decline. But now they have nothing but fucking Jewish Hanson (The Jonas Brothers) and this phycho.
Next on the agenda
 Really...REALLY!! Can't you lazy motherfuckers just...I dont know COOK! do you need a fucking Wii game to yell at you and tell you you suck. Why would anyone want to subject themselves to this? Is Nintendo really this much of a whore that anyone with a 2 bit game concept that comes up to them they bend over and say "Stick it in"? Come on people.
Ok thats enough of losing my faith in the human race for one day
Adieu
Josh

So,
Every last piece of my body hurts or is tired beyond physical measuring. I had work last night and if you even slightly peruse my blog you know that that is never a happy occasion. My first fun portion of the night was a drunk coming in with a six pack and a bag of Wendy's for his grand kids. Aww isn't that sweet. While I was busy dodging his beer laden breath, I was treated to a wonderful tale about how he, a 60+ year/old man, broke his hand punching a guy in the face because this man said that all people who went to Archbishop Ryan High School suck.......I am a nineteen year old boy and I wouldn't do such a stupid thing. But this 60+ year old man did it on the way to get food for his fucking grandchildren. Not only that but its 10 o'clock at night. Why are you just feeding them now? With all of my cunning I ushered this drunkard out the store as quickly as possible. Then barely a half an hour later a "woman" comes through my line. She possesses all of 6 of her possible 33 teeth. She stands there and asks me the price of everything she touches. Then she begins to make noises. I believe she's being funny until I look at her and notice she's completely serious. Then she doent have enough money so she makes me take something off, so I have to wait for the manager to come with the key. Unfortunately, the manager is outside smoking and it was after 10:30 so the other person there with me had left. So, I'm left with this crazy drugged-out whistling looney for about twenty minutes, the majority of which I spent panic strickenly calling anyone and everyone on the loud speaker. Finally my relief comes and fixes it for me. The moment she leaves, I say "fuck this" and jet.
While working at Acme, I have seen that which should be kept way below the sewers. Creatures the primordial ooze seems to have just spit out. I have braved terrors the likes of which Hercules himself has never faced...This is why I'm quitting.
When you work at "Corporate Game Store R Us" you begin to appreciate the English language more than ever. This is due to the overwhelming abuse you hear it take while working there. this is how a conversation on the phone usually goes.
Me: Thank you for calling XXXX XXXX Where we buy and sell used games. This is Josh speaking how can I help you?
Person: YO YO YO WERD BRUVA. Y'all got dem wiggity wiggity fits.
Me: I'm Sorry?
Person: DEM WII FITS, DAWG CHALL GOT DEM.
Me:......UH No
************************************************** You Also grow to miss common sense**************
Old Person: Pardon me, young person, Do you have them Wii's
Me: Yeah, New or used
OP: New please Young'n
(I run back grab the heavy heavy box and come back out)
Op: No I wanted to know where the games are THE GAMES! GODDAMN YOUNG PEOPLE DONT LISTEN! BACK IN MY DAY......
So yeah, I miss the days when people said word and I understood them. Those were some good times. I begin to wonder if they will ever return.
Well I have Schooling to do

Oh Friday was fun! We hung out at the Shoe (I lost the amazing Emma Goldman patch in the drunken ribaldry, though), then played Goldilocks and the three bars: the first had too many old people, the second bar had too many straight skinny people (so I tried to get us kicked out by screaming the word FAGGOTS a lot and jumping into pictures, but I got dragged out first) and the third was just right, or at least we were too drunk to keep trying. We drank many PBRs for they are cheap and make me want to high five people and yell a lot.*
Somewhere in there we had some crying, some liquor, I took my shirt off, someone put acid in our vegan cheesesteaks, it was pretty fantastic. Then Marissa and I stayed up all night plotting world domination and hatin' on the patriarchy and the hedgemony and the other big words. I really want to organize some activist stuff, but that's a different entry altogether.
Dread update: They look AWESOME. A lot of the loose hairs are turning into mini-dreads and now they're all getting married! I added a bead from a bracelet that really meant a lot to me in high school, and I made a really bangin' spray that's been tightening them up really well.
Pictures? Well, yeah but no one has given them to me yet.
