I am all alone. Nico and Brian left to go see the Rock 'N Roll Hall of Fame. Something bad will happen though. Not, "We got mugged" bad, just something like, "Sleeping on a Bus Two nights in a row" bad. They'll forget to get off at Cleveland and end up in Omaha. Its nice there this time of year, I hear.

If you get a chance, go to the Poll Page and vote on the Page Setup you like better, this one or the old one. Vote on the other ones two, fuck ass.

MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY, yes Monday. Monday is the last day to see Brian and Nico at the Java Joint before classes begin. Be there, honkey. They have been playing around 10 the last few weeks, but show up early, seating is strained in the summer time. Miss it and you'll have to wait until Christmas to see them live again.

If you are not going away to school this fall, feel free to keep stopping by the Java Joint to hang out with lonely old Josh.

I would like to announce the newest arrival to my family, InSpectra Gadget, long story, just accept it.

New evidence came out that "Eve came before Adam." Well, good for Adam, he has earned bragging rights. But seriously, read the mind numbingly boring article here. Its really bad and isn't actually scientifically sound, since it ignores the whole "evolution" thing. Either way, I'm all for feminism and women's rights, but arguing over Adam and Eve is never going to get women equal pay. I actually read an article once about how Adam made Eve eat the apple because she just wanted his attention. And that Lott tricked his wife to look back at Gamora and turn to salt. The sad thing is, these articles claimed to have "scientific evidence!"

Ehh, get out of here.

You know what they say, 10,000 Elvis fans can't be wrong. However, 1,000,000 Elvis fans can be lame enough to hold an E-Vigil tonight in the memory of the King. Since Graceland can only hold about 10,000 people for tonights vigil (at midnight, its the 25th anniversary of Elvis's death) so AOL is having a Graceland-Cam so you can see it. Don't get me wrong, vigil if you want to, but if you can't make it, hold another vigil by yourself or with friends. Holding a candle in your unlit den on the computer is no way to salute the King.

So the Rat Pack movie yesterday on HBO, quality filmwork there, see it if you can. Liota looks like Sinatra a bit, but doesn't sound like him though. Montegna does a great Dean Martin though.

Oh I forgot to mention, if you are going to listen to Elvis today or tomorrow to commemerate him, don't listen to that Elvis vs. JXL bullshit, seriously. Its just the people in control of his legacy, who I don't believe are even family, trying to make money off of Elvis again, download the real version of "A Little Less Conversation" if you must.

Don't be a schmuckwad, don't ask, just don't be one.

Somebody comment on the guestbook if you like the new layout, please, if you are still even reading this.

Spread the Gospell.

Well, its been awhile I know. Apparently I updated the site just in time for everybody to stop visiting, isn't that lucky?

Well, if you haven't been here in a week, or didn't notice the new layout to the site, well, it's new, your welcome. You can access everything from the front page, but if you see that for example, Nico's column isn't updated on the main page, click on it to check anyway, because I might not have had time to update the front page, even though he as had time to update his section.

I was led to believe that "Wet Hot American Summer" was going to be the funniest film I have seen in a long time. And don't get me wrong, it was pretty funny, but its nowhere, and I mean nowhere, near as funny as "The State" from MTV, whose stars wrote the film mentioned above. Either way, its kind of funny, rent it if you get the chance, but don't expect, Dougie, Louie, or Lavon and Barry.

Hey asshole, keep checking the site, you are shitting all over Nico and Brian again.

Did you hear about that fucking French fuck journalist who wrote that book that the September 11th attacks were fiction, especially the plane that hit the Pentagon. I know this is kind of old news, but the book hit #1 in France. Which proves my theory, Germans love David Hasselhoff, er I mean all things French (minus the salad dressing and maids outfits) should disappear. Don't get me wrong, I mean quickly and painlessly, but they should "disappear" nonetheless.

Isn't it ironic that the country that designed French Maids Outfits doesn't have one straight guy in the whole country?

I saw this woman bitching on Donahue last night (by the way, not that this needs mentioning, but if you Donahue on TV, CLICK), and she was bitching that the US government allowing a plane to hit the Pentagon almost an hour after one hit the Twin Towers, and that Bush talked for 25 minutes or something like that at the school he was at when this all happened. I'm not sure what she was implying, but two things: 1) I'm pretty damn sure Bush was very safe no matter where the fuck he went, and 2) the Pentagon is some glamorized office building, not the location of all out military secrets, which is something this harpee was screaming about. Its amazing that so many people believe the government can erase somebody's entire existence, but would so stupid to advertise where all the secrets are, morons.

Well, thats all for today, its been awhile, so I'd figure I'd make up for it in length.

Saw "Signs" the other day, it was good, see it, it was good, you'll have fun, it was good, and actually pretty funny. Part of the ending is kind of predictable, but the other part of the end is rather clever I thought. Don't expect a huge surprise ending like in Shamalanmanan's first major film, "Sixth Sense," but nonetheless "Signs" is a winner.

Also, laser pointers weren't that cool when I was in high school, 5 years ago. Needless to say, they have only become even more lame. "Hey look, I put a red dot on the guys head, ha ha ha." Fucking pathetic, seriously.

I would have to agree with Nico that Sophia Loren is not hot, I know I already agreed with him, but I'm doing it again.
Happy Birthday Nico, you are officially almost 21.

Ocean's 11 was pretty good, I would have to imagine the original was better just because those guys are so much cooler than the new cast.

Merril Lynch sucks, don't use their services.

Go away.

So its Augest, yeah I forgot to mention this the other day. Either way, we are in the second fake month of the year. Yeah I said it. If you don't already know, July and August did not start off as months, it was two different Ceasars who were so arragant that an empire wasn't enough, so they invented months. Also the reason why July and August are the only two consecutive months with 31 days (not counting January and December).

I just got Windows XP, I rock.
because of, and not in spite of the size of his nose. Basically, this I belive is either french or Latin for...60% of women are power whores. Face it, if the nose thing were true, every action hero would be jewish, and you don't see Nathan Horowitz blowing anything up, or necking with Gywneth Paltrow in some shitty chick flick.

Java Joint tonight, be there and bring a friend. Bring canned goods for the needy too, just be sure to drop it off some place that collects it before going into the Java Joint.

Brian has an inferiority complex which causes him to read too much poetry and value the opinions of music critics so much where he feels his view on music is always correct, and that will make up for something else, or I'm just talking nonsense, one of the two.

To put it simply, Sex Pistols were never that good and Ani Difranco has some really shitty songs, despite what Brian says.

Note, I said Ani has some shitty songs, she has some good stuff too, or so Brian tells me, over and over and over and over and over again.

Tom Waits loves Spongebob Squarepants, yes he does. So does Hank Willaims, or at least he would if, um, the situation was more fitting.

Well, I'm going, chores, I have a few, but then again, too few to mention.

Yup, archives.

Just saw "Requiem for a Dream." Do me a favor, if you see a movie and you think its real good, please don't spend a day telling me its so great. Because even if the movie is real good, which this one was, its becomes almost impossible for the film to live up to the expectations. Either way, if you haven't seen this film, see it, its OK.

I'm hearing people didn't like "Goldmemeber" that much because it uses a lot of the same jokes, then the same people say they liked "Spy Who Shagged Me Better." Sure Goldmember used some old jokes, but part 2 was almost completely used jokes except for Mini Me and Fat Bastard. I think the newest installment was a lot more original than the second.

If anybody see's "Signs" by M. Night Shamalamabamalamadingdong let me know how it is, "Sixth Sense" and "Unbreakable" were both pretty good.

If you haven't heard, some wierd whale cult beached themselves to be with the supreme ruler of the whalepack. Some were pushed into the ocean, and rebeached themselves, kind of like that South Park episode where the cows join the cult because of the huge Cow Clock in town.

A few days ago, a woman was asked to leave a public pool because she was breast feeding...inside the pool, yes...in the water. To protest today, a number of mothers staged a "Nurse-In," or in plain words, all breast feed babies right on the edge of the same public pool, saying they shouldn't be "discriminated" against. Look here you silly prego bitches (I know they aren't pregnant, but it flows good), I'm all for breast feeding, and when it can't be don't in private and its urgent for some reason, then I suppose its ok to do it in public. But please, this woman wasn't just breast feeding in public, she was swimming! Its inappropriate, dangerous since you know there is always some sort of horseplay in public pools, and outright inconsiderate to everybody else. This particular pool complex actually had a location for women to go to to breast feed their babies in private on premises. And don't get me started on the "discrimination" issue.

I knew pregnant women and "that time" women are generally loony, but I guess you can add breast feeding mothers.

If you see a woman breast feeding in public, and its not truly necessary for to do be doing that, slap her, well...slap here after she puts the baby down.

Get out of here.
