The Monkey's Cheese!

Thursday, December 23

I sit here and try remember what it is that I was going to write. I ponder upon the narcissistic nature of all blog posts. I feel like not doing it, then I realize to deny my own narcissism is even worse. Or is it?

It is CHRISTMAS! YaaY!?

This Christmas doesn't really feel like it.
I've been in a daze through all.
There seems to be no real feeling.
The Plaza is full, lots of people are shopping.

Some of the things I have done or that have happenned lately:

* Dimebag Darrel guitarist of Pantera got shot in the head five times at a gig!! He's dead. It's crazy. There was no one on earth more metal than Dimebag. We had 3 days of non stop Pantera videos and music after the event to pay our honours. Pantera were a big part of my life when I was younger. This Love, Cemetary Gates, Walk... We'll miss you Dimebag. Respect.

* Went to Dennis's Cocktail Party. It was great, heaps of mango and strawberry daiquiries. Yum. While I was there I met Ben again, who is one of the sickest people out. He's like a cross between Stewart 'I can only get Cali chicks' Callashaw and Oscar 'Fuck knows Where I am these days' Brazil. (BRAZIL!!!!!!!!). He was so cool. He was a portal, and he could read shit. I think the best thing he said to me was 'If you don't know why you are where you are, or you don't know what the answer is. Forget about it and trust that it will come when it needs to. CHILLAX!'. That line of thought has really helped with a number of things, especially the new band with Budge and Case. Which is going along nicely thank you..

On the way to the party.. Austin crashed his car!! The front got all fucked and we had a gig the next day which we weren't able to play. Sucks to be us.

* Went to Panthers and got supremely drunk. It was nice. I like drinking, I usually feel healthier afterwards. I also love feeling seedy. I danced with Tim Kovacs and chatted with Gatt.

* Went on a shopping spree and bought a $99 digital camera from Go-Lo! (I love this camera cuz it's shit, it endears itself to me. It's like a crappy old kodak $20 camera, but digital. Giving everything that 'Old Skool' flayva. Sweet!)

* Bought some Shock Guns with Jeff. (They're laser guns, but when you get shot you get a shock!) They're proving very popular. Especially with Jeff.

* 'Myspace' Is the new 'in' thing that everyone uses. I see it as the Glenmore Park of the internet. It's cool but cuz all my friends are on it.

* Cleaned the whole house, washed the dishes etc. The house has been clean since. I'm great.

* Wrote some new songs with SSFD. One is called 'Tight Leather Pants' (Sorry Austin) and is Rock. The other one is funkier/heavier and we don't have a name for it but the line is 'I couldn't get away from me'. And of course we have our 'power ballad' on Keith Richards..

So that is all I can come up with. Christmas is coming yet again. *Siigh* It's such a daggy holliday sometimes. I should be thankful. I am! Actually, these last 2 weeks have been so idyllic, I feel like i'm in the wonder years or something. I anyone else realizes how perfect we have it right now.

Merry Christmas to you and a happy new year. Have fun and drive safely!
Hurrah!
