"Get on the Snake" 2003-05-31 - 2:15 a.m.

older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj

talked to my therapist today

we talked about me and women

and how the two of us intermingle

apparently women like clean guys

and I fall utterly short in that category

I don't know

I'd either be half-assing the 'clean' thing by wearing dirty clothes or half-assing the 'grunge' thing by showering but dressing grunge

and I don't like to half-ass things

and it's just another argument for why I should cut my hair

I can't have my hair long and shower on a regular basis

it just gets too damn big

I don't want to cut my hair

I like long hair;

but my hair looks like shit long

I look like fucking "That Girl"

and no matter what I try it still fucking curls

I was hoping as it got longer it would get heavier and fall straight down

but instead the ends still curl up; they're just further down from the top of my head

I don't know

it's a really tough, shallow issue

but before I get too far, I wanted to put in a tribute to Dan "Scanzilla" Scannington(or whatever the hell his real last name is);

who was shot to death by Mr. T earlier today only moments after getting his diary working again

you can see the whole thing at scanzilla.diaryland.com

heh heh

but seriously;

after my therapist appointment I hung out with Robyn(for a short time) and Stephanie

nothing really noteworthy happened

although it's arguable that us hanging out in the first place is noteworthy

but yeah, that was fun

but Stephanie wouldn't sell me her guitar,

so now I have to save up for another damn month before I can afford the guitar, a strap, and a case

which sucks

even if I got a job tomorrow it would be probably as long until I got my paycheck as it would just saving up now

so I can't really look to that area for help

and it basically means I can't spend any damn money for a month

and I need some new sketchbooks; I need cigarettes; and I want some t-shirts and albums

damnit

[by the way, this isn't to try and guilt-trip Stephanie in any way. I just realized that it might kind of look that way, but it's not, I assure you.]

I tried to think of anyone who might owe me money that I could call in their debts

but nobody does,

in fact if I bring it up I'm more than likely going to remind someone that I owe them money

so if anyone wants to give me money for no reason; it would make me happy

I don't really have any talents I could provide in exchange

sexual favors would be inadequate and emotionally scarring

but I could kill somebody

if you need somebody dead; I'll do it dirt-cheap

like the AC*lightning bolt*DC song

but yeah, here's a boring quiz I lifted from Robyn's livejournal, just because I want to

you've been given a robot that can be trained to perform one standardized task perfectly, as often as necessary. what do you train it to do?

feed fattening treats to disgustingly thin actresses and supermodels

you are seriously ill. there are two vaccines that will save your life, but both have side effects: one will permanently eliminate your sense of taste, and the other will permanently eliminate all feeling in your genitals. which vaccine would you choose?

I refuse to answer this question based solely on its sheer banality

somehow you've gotten into a fight with someone twice your size. where do you aim the first punch?

the throat. But honestly, I wouldn't punch first. I'd kick them in the stomach and/or groin, then when they bend over in pain; I'd grab their head and DDT them. And if they weren't knocked out I'd stomp on their face until they were.

the "fast-forward" and "skip" buttons on all your stereo equipment are broken, and you can't afford to repair them right now. for the time being, you can only listen to albums from beginning to end, without skipping any songs. what albums in your collection are still listenable?

pretty much all of 'em. I enjoy listening to everything my favorite artists have to offer.

if given the perfect opportunity to be unjust, would a just person succumb to it?

not if they're truly Just.

you've been asked to write the encyclopedia britannica entry on yourself. what does it say?

Brett Stickroth, n. - See: Loser

you've somehow been given the chance to spend the day with a character (not an actor) from any film or television program. who do you choose?

crap, what the hell was Matt Dillon's character's name in 'Singles'?

...or maybe Dante from 'Clerks'

if you could instantly learn to play one instrument that you don't currently play, what would it be?

drums

the people of the town where you were born want to name a building after you. they've asked you to choose the sort of building that best matches your personality. what kind of building do you choose?

a record store

what month of the year do you least anticipate? why?

July. It's hotter than fuck wherever you live; but here in Tucson vegetation and small animals just start lighting on fire in the middle of the day.

what animal would you most like to house in your back yard, if you could?

I heard of these birds called "Carmen Bee Eaters", and as their name suggests; they eat bees. And I always wanted to get a flock of them and clip their wings so they couldn't fly away, and then keep them in my yard so they could eat all the damn bees and I wouldn't have to worry about them.

when you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?

famous

if you could buy any rare collection in the world, which collection would you choose? [this doesn't have to be a famous collection...but it can be].

Brody's comic book collection from 'Mallrats'

what's the best advice you've ever received? who gave it to you?

"Honesty is the best policy." and I forget where I first heard it.

you've been invited to perform as the middle act in a three-act bill. you get to choose the other two artists. who opens for you, and who follows you?

The Porno Pandas[the band I was in in CA] open for us; and J. Mascis + The Fog headline.

you've been placed in the witness protection program, and must change your name. you're able to pick your new name. what do you call yourself?

first names: Layne, Jerry, Joey, or Hercules.

last names: Cantrell, Abel, Ramone, Only, Rockafeller, Mallory, Graves, Belmont, Cornell, or Black.

what lesson should the world learn from the failure of all those dotcom businesses?

honestly I don't see a lesson there. I have no idea how people were making money off that and how it stopped being so in the first place; so I guess I don't really understand it.

what steps should airlines take to help avoid a repeat of the september 11th tragedy?

I don't think it's the airlines responsibility. I think America should just strive to become a better country.

what is the greatest invention of the last ten years?

mp3s. That was in the last ten years, right?

thanks to a breakthrough in technology, you can have a perfect memory-recording of one event in your life. everything is included -- taste, smell, sound, vision and feeling; it basically means that you can relive the event over and over again. what event would you want to relive?

ah crap, that's a tough one, but not for the reasons you'd think.

I'd say either: When I visited New Jersey for the last time a couple years back, and the backyard wrestling that was done there. Just the matches, not anything else.

Or else that afternoon when Alane agreed to gain weight for me.

or, to be less crass/perverted; that Nightfall I went to with Alane. That was really a good night. On second thought, I pick that one.

what toy from your childhood would you most like to track down now?

I actually have all the toys from my childhood in boxes either in my closet or the sheds out back. I'm a packrat, and so is my mom so she lets me get away with it.

assuming that money, legality, etc. is no object, what is your intoxicant of choice?

What's my drug of choice?

Well what have you got?

heh heh; but seriously: probably just hard liquor. I can't see myself doing anything other than that. And honestly I can only see myself drinking if I was really depressed. Although by that standard maybe Heroin; but I'm not sure, I've been thinking about that lately and planning to talk about it in here, but I haven't really gotten around to it.

which is more dangerous in the wrong hands -- guns or knowledge?

really it depends on 'what kind of wrong hands?'; but generally I'd say Knowledge.

Sweet Dreams
