late night thinking
August 31, 2003
well its not 3:14 am EST and here i am on amanda’s laptop unable to sleep. Tonight we watched Daredevil and Bowling for Columbine that we got from Blockbuster last night. Daredevil was ok, i wouldnt call award winning at all. It was just nice to switch off your brain and watch the film. As for Bowling, i thought it was pretty good. I am not sure how much of it is true but it did open my eyes to a few things. Is our country really that fucked up compared to the rest of the world? One of things he talked about was the amount of gun related deaths between a few different countries (Canada, UK, Germany, etc) and in all the US smoked the hell out of everyone as far as deaths per year. Like i said i will need to look up the numbers myself to make sure they are somewhat accurate, but still thats messed up. There is a few more points he made that i want to comment on, maybe in the afternoon when i am more awake.
In other news..
I recently picked up the newest Marilyn Manson CD “The Golden Age of Grotesque”. I know what your are probably thinking…hey thats not the stuff you normally listen to! Thats right it isnt, i used to listen to that kinda stuff a few years ago. Last CD i have from him was Anti-Christ Superstar, at the time i wasnt to thrilled with Mechanical Animals and Holywood so i skipped them. So far i am really enjoying the CD, i did notice that that Tim Skold (KMFDM, Pigface) helped produce it, which imho give it a bitch of a KMFDMish sound.
School starts up this week after Labor day. I got classes on Thursday and Friday from 9-3. Ugh this is going to suck have two long days back to back. But i am looking forward to the classes. One is Digital Logic 2, which is an A+ class and the other is Telecom 2 which is the first half of the Cisco stuff. Plus i cant wait to see the guys from class we usually have alot of fun. Though i am wondering if Eric the annoying shit is going to make an appreance this semester. Last spring he had to drop out of one class and was failing the others pretty bad. I guess thats what happens when you surf the net during class and dont pay attention.
I was supposed to go to Corsten later tonight (its Sunday now), but due to my shitty ass Nissan i had to cancel my plans. I have made it a commitment to save up as much money as possible and get a new car around this summer. My first choice is a Subaru Legacy sedan, if i cant afford that then the back up is a Civic Si. I am going to have to buckle down on a late of extra spending, draw up a budget and beg for money for Christmas and my birthday heh.
Ok i am going to try and hit the sack now, i think amanda is feeling rather lonely in bed. I’ll try and update again at some point tomorrow to write some more thoughts on Bowling.
