it's been a month since i've done a post

Indeed time has not been on my side lately, which is odd given my current professional duties. Anways, yesterday was my friend Jeff's birthday. A group of five of us gathered to celebrate with him at once of Chicago's secret masterpiece's, The Paramount Room. I don't know whats up with that tribal logo surrounding the glass of beer but they do have fantastic beer and food. We had interesting discussions, my friend Karl gave Jeff an interesting book that I must now track down. The book is "Wreckers of Civilization" and it's basically the insane story of psycho jazz legends Throbbing Gristle.
These guys also spoke quite a bit about Nurse With Wound who I was unaware of and really don't have the time to explain, but it's worth checking out.
After Jeff made his exit to go watch the Chicago White Sox dominate the Chicago Cubs to make the sweep official, we headed over to another bar for one more beer. There we tried to figure out if we are old or if new music really just sucks. We all agreed that if we are in fact victims of a generation gap that we could accept that. However we also could not find a musical or other artistic movement today that was worth praising.
I then went to work and continued reading Naked Lunch and then I felt filthy and vile but hey, is't that why you read William S. Burroughs in the first place?
Anyways... I woke up this morning, checked wherethehellismatt.com and found his latest video and it made me happy for some odd reason. I'm not sure if I like Matt or hate him because I am jealous of what he gets to do.
For all the people that really think people that live in other parts of the world are so much different than us Americans, I think this is quite possibly the best and most simple example they are indeed very similar to us. If you're not in a better mood after watching this I will pay you $100 dollars (just kidding, I'm not giving you shit!)
Check it out and enjoy your day!

Against Me! summed it up with this song. If you don't know Against Me! then you should go buy their music at your local record store (if you can find one) or obtain it on the interweb. Anyways... if you are curious of the lyrics you can find them here!
