His Ears Were Like Velvet

So I know this might be a little untraditional when it comes to blogging, but I had to make my debut on this website about a pug person who probably rocked harder than anyone else. Ladies and gentleman I am talking about the biggest piece of shit that has ever existed--a.k.a. BIFF. Now you see Biff wasn't just any ordinary worthless pet that you kept around as company. He was much more. Ahh, I remember the days when Biff used to eat rocks outside our house, choke on them, yet keep at it like a champ and go for seconds. Hell, he spent half of his life just trying to figure out how to use his respiratory system, and we're all pretty sure that he should have died way before his time. Yes I know this post sucks and is probably a big waste of time to everyone involved, but to those who knew him (I'm talking about you nut bust and wikes), then you definitely agree with me when I say Biff not only rocked but got er done over and over and over. You let us all down. And I'm sorry we lost your ashes. RIP you POS.

Why is Autism so in right now?

This is kind of an old case but Gary McKinnon must be honor semi-immediately.

Gary McKinnon Google Search

Despite Bruno's weak ass attempt at explaining the circumstances, how about the single largest government computer hack of all time. How about our government starts rocking out, and instead of putting this dude in jail, we sentence him to a life of indentured servitude and he protects our asses from someone doing this with malicious intent. Hard to rock any harder than a UFO obsessed, Asperger genius just trying to find out what bullshit the government is hiding from us. In rocking terms, breaking into NASA and US Navy's confidential documents would be like C. Scott and the AD starting a mosh pit with my rabbi while I was doing my haftarah.

Don't hate, USA

The John Daly Experiment

Since the beginning of time, I have been in love with john daly. Now he has his own television show coming out on the golf channel starting this fall. Gotta love it!

I also found out that he is on twitter. ROCK.

A Few More Things That Rock

I know I mentioned this out loud to a few of you but for the benefit of our readership above the border I will mention it again. For decades Princess Laya has been the object of sexual desire for multiple generations of young males. Devoted girl friends would put their hair into those sexy side buns and try to use the force to please their man. Well, I think it has become official, princess laya's crown has been officially usurped by none other than Hermoine Granger. That's right, Harry Potter's right hand lady has become and will remain the new princess laya. some of you may be say that hermoine is only in high school, and to you i say, well i used to be in high school so there. All I'm saying is that my wife should be prepared to come into the bedroom wearing nothing but a Hogwarts robe prepared to do magic with my wand. Props to J.K. Rowling, now one of the richest people on the plant, for gettin er.

On another unrelated note, there is a movie coming out in August called "It Might Get Loud". It is a story/tribute/documentary about star guitar players Jimmy Page, Jack White, and the u2 dude. This film will absolutely ROCK and will most definitely GET 'ER on a variety of levels. If you have a mac computer go into your Front Row application and watch the preview. If you dont have a mac, get one. no no im just playin, but seriously, get one. i'm sure the preview is also available from imdb or from searchin for it.

F this noise (gettin'er ill wut are we on, 5?)

Alright, I'm about to drop some truth bombs on y'alls asses. 

The Bachlorette:

ARE YOU SERIOUS. Every woman in the United States/Canada need to get a f'en hobby and quit wasting my time with that noise about F'en who she picked, why she picked him, how the other guy was gay, blah blah blah. No one f'en cares. Get a F'en JOB SNYD... whoops. 

Michael Vick

Gettin'er: Terrell Owens. For once, you got it right. I completely agree with you, that Michael Vick served his sentence and does not deserve the suspension set forth by the NFL. Vick, unlike every other athlete who was convicted of crimes, actually went to jail, served time behind bars, and did it the legal way. Sure he probably got a reduced sentence b/c he is The Michael Vick Experience, but still, he actually went to jail, thats more than other athletes can say. Where was the ban on Jamal Lewis after he went to jail for 3 months (And I am Ravens fan!)? T.O. I salute you for speaking up, and trying to get the players association involved, you are surely GETTIN'ER! 

Ill: Roger Goodell. I usually support what you do, but I think unfortunately you missed the ball here sir. Don't worry, I'll have your job one day and make the right decision. 

Mark Buerly

Gettin'er: Real Pitchers. The Chicago Cubs Starting Lineup when healthy. 

Ill: The Chicago White Sox. Actually, baseball in general, is it football season yet?

Dave Ragone (U of L Football)

Gettin'er: Dave Ragone as a quarterback.

Ill: Dave Ragone as a U of L win predictor. He predicted Louisville winning 10 games this year in football. Although I love the enthusiasm, 10 wins would mean we go undefeated at home, and then win 4 of 6 road games AT UK, Utah, WVU, UConn [(do fair catches count?) if you never click on my links, you have to go to that one), Cincy and USF. I do agree that U of L will be better than last year, I truly do, but 10 games is ambitious. I say no worse than 8-4. Kragthorpe shines as new offensive coordinator, Josh Chichester becomes best 6-8 WR ever, and Victor Anderson starts his heisman run as a sophomore. Defensively we will .... do we have a defense? Of course we do, his name is Mozell f'en Axson (my facebook friend.)  

and of course, Illini Football 

Gettin'er: Arrelius Bong, I mean Benn. You are an f'en beast, and I will never forget the day you asked me and the dirty uncle if there was an "erfquake" last night. Juice, you are a man beast as well and you better carry this team back up to the top son. 

Ill: The Ohio State. F that school. 

Gettin'er 2: almost forgot why i started this post in the first place, Nu vs. Illinois at Wrigley Field possibly next year. That would an amazing game that I would love to see. None of this Notre Dame Army beezewax, NU, Illinois, Same State, Rival Schools, Same Conference, Historic Athletic Stadium, make it happen Guenther, your my boy.

hmm too much about sports... 

Randoms:

Gettin'er: Having a job.

Ill: Living at home with the parents. 

Gettin'er: Youtube

Ill: youporn.com 

Kidding both gettin'er

Gettin'er: Mike's Hard Punch Mango, actually really good. Oh and Mike's Harder (9% alcohol, high school girls everywhere are wet'n themselves)

Ill: Smirnoff Ice Tea

Gettin'er: Re-releasing Lebron Getting dunked on.

ill: the fact that I can't dunk.

Gettin'er: Buffalo Denim Jeans from Macy's

Ill: Levi 501's, make my balls hurt.

Gettin'er: D2 football, Quincy University Starting right Tackle Rory 'baby face' Mammano

Ill: His NCAA 10 skills on xbox live, beatin him 7 straight times

Gettin'er: New school and program

ill: graduate school debt

back to sports

Gettin'er: Shaq the big diesel on WWE choke slamming the Big Show. This totally made my night and day as it was playing while I was running in the gym today. They then played this which again made my day:

And for a smile, please watch SHAQTUS!

America's Got Talent:

Gettin'er: The 9 year old guitar player. The Spiritual Harmonizers.

Ill: THE JUDGES FOR VOTING THEM OFF AND worse acts through to the finals. I have lost all respect for this show. People with actual talent get voted off and who are the judges, Sharen osbourne, david hasselhoff, and some british dude. One american, thats it. F this noise!

and last, but not least.

GETTIN'ER: Everything about John Daly. Congrats on the weight loss, now win a tournament for me using only tall boys as tees. 

get'ner. ga ga ga gettin'er done fellas.

THE AD

Shit that makes me laugh: Wedding Mayhem

This is per a fellow blogger andywaits over at andywaits.wordpress.com. Notice his blog roll on the right-hand side. Rocking out.

Now it’s safe to say that my day of walking down the aisle is no where close to today, however, if i were to accept one vagina for the rest of my life, i dont think i would crip walk down the aisle…. especially in church. as much as i look the part, i am unfamiliar with the christian faith and their etiquette/rules in religious buildings, but im pretty sure jesus doesnt like when 2 people walk down the aisle doin the stanky leg.

I want more participation and I want it NOW!!!

Rocking out,

Contributors, readers, rockers, I'm glad to see the contributions have sky rocketed in the past few weeks and the blog seems to be growing slowly but surely. One thing I wanted people to take note of is the necessity of commenting on others' work. Since this blog is trying to access the most rocking power per post, it is imperative that we all give comment and rock acknowledgment to the other contributors. Thank you for your consideration and participation.

Touched by an Angel

As all those of you that arent living under a rock already know, Mark Buerhle recently became a part of baseball history. In the 18th perfect game in major league history, Buerhle became one of the elite few to not only pitch a perfect game, but pitch multiple no-hitters. Bravo. I'm sure you are also aware that Mr. B received a very special congratulatory phone call from a very special Sox fan, a one President Obama. Obama, a self-proclaimed sox fan and legitimate south sider phoned Buerhle and took partial credit for the perfect game by wearing a sox jacket when trowing out the first pitch at last weeks all star game.

But let's take a look at this a bit closer. Obama strategically picked this all-star game to throw out the first pitch at, a game where one and only one white sox player was present. Who? A one Mr. Mark Buerhle. The Pres also chose to wear a symbolic white sox jacket when throwing out the all important first pitch from the rubber in the middle of the infield. Third, after throwing out this pitch and walking towards the american league dugout, senior presidente stopped to touch Buerhle's shoulder and pass on a bit of wisdom and a helping hand.

Now, this begs the question, was Obama's call after the perfect game truly congratulatory, or was it written in the cards all along; did Obama know what he was doing when he used his "magic touch"? Was the phone call afterwards in fact to lift the superpowers which he had bestowed upon Buerhle at the all-star game? Will Obama follow this miraculous act by walking to the state of Michigan, on Lake Michigan, to touch the shoulders of the Ford Auto plant and solve the company's devastating economic troubles with a simple touch? His actions are reminiscent of another historical figure whose name need not be mentioned (Jesus) and his position of power is similar to that of past preachers and profits. What will be Obama's next miraculous act and who will be the lucky bastard to receive his touch? Only time will tell.

Perfection: A League of His Own

Rocking out,

A world series ring and a no-hitter weren't enough for the resume of Chicago White Sox pitcher Mark Buehrle. July 23rd, 2009 was a thursday afternoon when the White Sox and Rays got it underway at U.S Cellular Field. Buehrle was taking the mound after getting shelled in his last outing and was looking to get back to the roots of his all-star first half. Little did we know that he would end the game with little over 30 minutes of pitching time throughout a perfect game in arguably the greatest White Sox performance in its 100+ year history. The fans cheered as Dwayne Wise, White Sox center-fielder, made and unthinkable catch to rob Gabe Kapler of home run and safe the game momentarily; the remaining outs were routine and the rest as they say is history. Congrats to Mark, I am a very proud White Sox fan today and his recent 4 year $56 million signing, which seemed absurd a little under a year ago, now warms my heart and keeps me calm about the future.

South Side Pride! . . . . Hombrewhive!

This is all about getting er done.

Shit that makes me laugh: Kevin Spacey

I like twitter. Fuck you if you don't. Kevin Spacey, who is among the most talented actors on the planet, was on Letterman talking about it. That shit made me laugh.

David Kreiter is the clout list

Shit that makes me laugh: Tasers

I studied Industrial/Organizational Psychology back in my Undergraduate days [stereotypical sound that rich people make]. When I figure out what that exactly means I'll be sure to let you know. I do know that a lot of my professors used to talk about employee productivity and reward structure. Very rarely was good old fashion punishing talked about in academia. I'm not talking about the AD on swamps or RBF on Europe. I'm talking, you fucked up, now you pay. Now a days, paper trails and pay docks are the norm for nonproductive workers. In a perfect state of rocking out and gettting er done, I move for all punishment structures to work more like this.

Three employees being tazed by their companies newest product. Thats only 1/4 my favorite part. The rest of the company bursts into applause as electricity runs through their shitty coworkers bodies, that represents about 5/8 my enjoyment. The last 1/8 is the last girl is still squirming on the ground as her coworkers applaud and as the video cuts out. If we saw her get up this would have picked up a lot of steam. God Bless America. God Bless x3 no reload taser. Riots will be 2/3 less fun.

DIRTY PROJECTORS

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

New Flaming Lips. Holy Shit. New Flaming Lips.

Well the follow up album to the always awesome Flaming Lips album at War With Mystics is set for release. I will keep this short two new tracks have leaked. They can be found here. I will let you decide. Look for a full review when the entire album is released. Rock on.

Lyrical, Lyrics and Lyricism

I've always been one for the lyrics in a song. I think, as probably most do, that songs can either be made, or broken with the words that are chosen to reflect the musical accompaniment. But the real question I would ask great lyricists would be, which came first, "rocking out?" or "gettin'er done?" After they hopefully answer correctly, I would then have to ask them, which came first, "the song?" (being the musical composition) or "lyrics?" It has to be a very difficult task to combine the two really, because the words itself create a song, and then you have to choose the tone and melody to accompany it. To me, the songs that truly rock, and get er done, somehow manage to truly sync the two in perfect harmony. Now it is completely unfair to lyricists ever to in anyway form some sort of top 10 of lyrics, or try and riddle it down to a specific number because lyrics are unique in that they speak to individuals. They are a phenomenon that I've noticed and been conscious of for a very long time. I call all other co-authors, especially one original rocker DJ (b/c you probably need something to do with your free time?) to fill us in on lyrics that truly speak to you. The following list of lyrics I've comprised are a mere needle in a haystack. I couldn't even begin to truly list every single lyric that truly calls to me, these are the ones that come to mind at this particular moment: (Preface: for me, every single josh ritter song would be listed here, but the blog is not long enough for that. If your into good acoustic, folkish/western vibed songs with good vocals and good lyrics I suggest Josh Ritter, try and youtube him, definitely some good chill music, and he's amazing in concert...) Onward:

Sorry DJ, I know you hate Corgan...

"Well crucify the insincere tonight, 

Well make things right, well feel it all tonight

Well find a way to offer up the night tonight, 

The indescribable moments of your life tonight

The impossible is possible tonight, 

Believe in me as I believe in you, tonight"

-Smashing Pumpkins, Song: Tonight, Tonight - 

Album: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

"In the midnight hour she cried- "more, more, more", 

With a rebel yell she cried- "more, more, more"

In the midnight hour babe- "more, more, more", 

With a rebel yell she cried "more, more, more"

More, more, more."

Rebel Yell, Billy Idol - Album: Rebel Yell (Blaze Your Own Trail...)

"And I spent half of my life, In the customer service line, 

Flaws in the design, A sign of the times
And that little voice, In the back of your mind, 

Just wants you to know, Just hopes that you know
Robots need love too, They want to be loved by you."

Dan Mangan - Robots - Album: Robotics

"If what's loosed on earth will be loosed up on high , 

It's a Hell of a Heaven we must go to when we die 
Where even Laurel begs Hardy for vengeance please , 

The fat man is crying on his hands and his knees 
Back in the peacetime he caught roses on the stage , 

Now he twists indecision takes bourbon for rage."

Josh Ritter - Thin Blue Flame - Album: The Animal Years

"I wonder which brother is better, 

Which one our parents love the most
I sure did get in lots of trouble, 

They seemed to let the other go
A tear fell from my father’s eyes, 

I wondered what my dad would say
He said I love you, And I’m proud of you both, 

in so many different ways"

The Avett Brothers - Murder in the City - Second Gleam 

"People say that your dreams 

are the only things that save ya.
Come on baby in our dreams, 

we can live on misbehavior."

Arcade Fire. Rebellion. Album - Funeral

"Wake me up lower the fever, 

Walking in a straight line
Set me on fire in the evening, 

Everything will be fine
Waking up strong in the morning, 

Walking in a straight line
Lately I'm a desperate believer, 

But walking in a straight line."

Silverchair - Straight Lines - Young Modern

"Oh comely, I will be with you 

when you lose your breath,

Chasing the only meaningful memory 

you thought you had left.
With some pretty, bright and bubbly terrible scene, 

That was doing her thing on your chest.

....

Goldaline, my dear, We will fold and 

freeze together Far away from here.

There is sun and spring and green forever.
But now we move to feel for ourselves 

inside some stranger's stomach.
Place your body here, Let your skin 

begin to blend itself with mine."

Neutral Milk Hotel - Oh Comely - The Aeroplane Over the Sea

"Its a long way to Heaven, its closer to heaven, 

thats still a long ways from where we are,

and if evil exists, its a pair of train 

tracks and the devil is a railroad car."

Harrisburg- Josh Ritter - Live at Vicar Street

"I love a course that you can hit the driver 80% of the time"

grip it and rip it JD, you are a legend.

ga ga ga Gettin'er

another episdoe of gettin 'er done vs ill

As the last non-contributing reader left, it is now time to create a completely original and new style of blog: one where all the readers are also co-contributing authors. As I'm sure the rest of you know since traveling some of the European continent with another gettin 'er author, I have been literally doing nothing, sitting at home watching reality television and surfing the interwebs. So today as my first entry to the blog of blogs I would like to continue the tradition of Gettin 'er vs ill.

Music:
Gettin 'er: Chicago is absolutely dominating the hip-hop music scene right now. With artists like kanye, common, lupe, rhymefest and more coming out of the Chi, the midwest of asserting it's dominance over the east and west coasts. And I would like to add another name to the growing Chi town's finest list: Naledge, a.k.a Jabari Evans. Naledge is one half of the Kidz in the Hall and should defintiely be on everybody's radar. Both Kidz's albums I've heard are fantastic and the raw combination of heartfealt lyrics and smart beats and production value make for a terriffic sound. Naledge's lyrics are intelligent and relevant without ever crossing into corny. If you are one of my Simplify friends I strongly suggesst taking the time to listen. Here are some links for ya;
http://www.kidzinthehall.com/
http://www.myspace.com/kidzinthehall
Also, Naledge has created a solo mixtape titled Chicago Picasso. I've had a hard time finding it but if you come across it let me know.

Ill: The east and west coast. Pick it up. We are rocking out and gettin er done all over your face.

Golf, continued:
Gettin 'er:I would like to reiterate what one of the original founders has mentioned. Tom Watson deserves all of our praise and applause for the effort he put forth this past weekend at the Open Championship. As a man approaching 60, it is remarkably impressive to walk that course 4 times, let alone play it under par. As a man of 22 years, in what experts have called the age of our athletic peak, I imagine that if I tried to play that kind of golf I would total Mr. Watson's weekend score in one round of 18 holes. Not to take away anything from Stewart Cink's performance, which was also teriffic, but a shout out and large contrats to Mr. W, truly rocking out and gettin er done done done. (also, way to go John Daly, I would chill with you on or off the course any day)

Ill: Once again Tiger Woods has made the ill section of the post. While not making the cut is embarassing and disturbing, it is also acceptable and you are still the richest golfer on the planet and have a smokin hot model wife so relax for a second and listen here. You have no right to throw tantrums on the course and throw your clubs and smash them into the ground. Those practices are reserved for one Happy Gilmore. Tiger, your antics remind me of a nine year old playing for the first time. Take some of those pain killers I'm sure you still have lying around and chill out. Buy a couple new cars or something, but dont embarass yourself on the golf course in the game that made you a national super hero.

And if anybody still hasnt seen the 9-year-old play guitar on America's Got Talent, take the time to scroll down. He Gets Er Done more than all three judges combined. That is all

Shit that makes me laugh: The Real Pacman

Rockin' Out, probably not gettin' er done

g.e.t.t.i.n.e.r. v.s. i.l.l. III (tres)

Time to jump into it again boys and girls for my weekly installment of Gettin'er vs. Ill (3rd edition). This is our time to look at who is truly gettin'er done and who truly is just being completely illegitimate. Let us embark on the journey...

Golf

Gettin'er: Stewart Cink but more importantly Tom f'en Watson. Although you didn't win the Open Championship, you put on a show for the history books and nearly held the Claret Jug up for 60 yr olds everywhere. I was shocked at how amazingly well you played (minus the 72nd hole and playoff) and was cheering for you the whole time. That makes Greg Norman, and Tom Watson now 2 years in a row trying to win one for the old fellas at the Open. Who will it be next year? My Prediction: F the old guys, John Daly by 3 strokes. 

Ill: Wow this is my second Ill post for my boy Tiger Woods. You are now 3 for 3 on winning the tournament before a major and then completely choking it and completely missing the cup at the Open Championship. I don't know how you did it, but sir, you are a magician at playing terrible in opening rounds at majors in 2009. I probably won't even put you in the gettin'er category if you win the PGA, ok I might. 

Gettin'er or Ill I ask? You be the judge and decide for yourself. Didn't know Michael Jordan could get up that high. 

Basketball 

Gettin'er: Yao Ming or is it Ming Yao. You utterly showed your dominance of ALL of China when you grew to 8 feet tall, oh, I mean when you bought your previous China Basketball team! Talk about completely gettin'er done CHINA style. Not only did you emasculate all of China with your genes, you then shoved it in their face by purchasing the economically challenged Shanghai Sharks. China has economic problems too? Dang, this is a recession. 

Ill: LeBron. What a sorry excuse for man. News Recap: at a summer Nike Basketball camp, Jordan Crawford of Xavier University dunked on LeBron James. Yes you read correctly, straight posterized 'the king.' WE ARE ALL WITNESS? Apparently not because after he got posterized by Crawford, LeBron stopped the scrimmage, talked to the camp director for a moment and returned to play. The camp director than went around and confiscated all the video tapes from the people recording the game claiming that it was illegal to video tape after camp hours. Are you serious? Who cares if a college kid posterizes you? You are still going to make millions, let the kid blow up on YouTube and be an ambassador of the game. 

College Football

Gettin'er: The BCS Championship. Everyone knows I am big into sports, and headed for my Masters in Sports Administration, so it might surprise you that I am actually in favor of the BCS Championship. I like the bcs championship because it goes outside the polls of the press and coaches, and takes into account all the different computer rating systems and compiles ratings for all the teams. If you want to be #1 in the BCS, go out and play real teams. This may be harder for the smaller teams b/c the bigger teams aren't willing to play good mid-conference teams, but lets be serious. Utah could not have beaten Florida last year. Everyone was mad because Utah went undefeated and didn't get a chance at a Championship but lets look at it, who did they beat? They didn't play anybody that would put them #1 in the country. They barely beat MICHIGAN week one, cruised their way through a weak Mountain West Schedule playing the toughest teams at home (TCU and BYU). There will always be a mid-conference team that goes undefeated, cries cause they don't get in the national championship but lets be honest. The BCS gives you a chance to at least win a BCS Bowl Game, and not play in the National Championship to get embarrassed. If a playoff system is adopted, it should only be 4 teams, and the BCS should choose the 4 teams involved. BCS gets er done, I'm sorry. (Also: Extending Zook's contract. Maybe we can make him head recruiter and get a real fball coach)

Ill: Notre Dame vs. Army in Yankee Stadium. Sure, playing in Yankee Stadium is really cool, bringing college football back to the golden years of football when the Military Schools dominated, but Notre Dame vs. Army? Sure, this is really cool because those are 2 very historical schools in football, but in the inaugural game in Yankee stadium at least put a real football game in there. Army has been struggling the past few years, and Notre Dame is far from what they used to be. This will be a mediocre show of football talent, where their could have been a much bigger battle in there like Troy vs. Temple. (Also: Louisville's apparent starting defense)

Anyways, thats all I have in short time, headed off to a brewery work party, sure thats going to be a blast. Someone please feel free to install gettin'er ill 4 at anytime.

Let's try this again

Alright, pimp of the century right here, 9 yr old boy, gonna get mad swamps one day...

Shit that makes me laugh: Batting Stance Guy

Make sure you check out both AL and NL lineups. NL will be the second one on the related videos. Funny shit and spot on.

Funny for many reasons. This man has his own website and somehow makes a living doing impressions of batting stances. He does understand that it is ridiculous but still continues to mock major leaguers for major coin. He's most certainly Gettin' Er Done, not quite rocking.

This author however...

Up and In: Get off my plate!

HHHHerockin,

Pedro Martinez, everyone's favorite pitcher of all time, just signed with the World Series Champs. This is awesome for so many different reasons. Aside from 'Dro owning three of the single greatest seasons ('97, '99, '00) in the history of the modern pitcher, this crazy punto will do whatever the fuck he wants, whenever the fuck he wants. Quite frankly, if there is a poster child for "Gettin' Er Done is all I know how to do" which is a close cousin to "Rockin' Out is Gettin' Er done", my vote goes to 'Dro.

Exhibit A

At this point, the only person that thought Don Zimmer was relevant in baseball was Joe Torre. What is a bench coach doing going after the best pitcher of our generation without a mullet. Did you see how Zimmer rolled. Most humans fall. That old bastard was looking for pins and there was no split.

Exhibit B

Pedro will go down as the only player in Major League Baseball to have one a championship for the Montreal Expos. tVBA might appreciate that. (was going to link to my favorite tVBA Expos hat pic, just look at every picture from Freshman year to middle of Junior year and end of Senior year, hilarity will ensue). Who wins a World Series, and then says he did it for another team? I'll tell you who does, Mofuckin 'Dro does.

There are so many more. Post your favorite 'Dro moments cause I'm going to play basketball.

Working towards achieving a more perfect state of Gettin' er done.

Jack White Does it Again

When I first heard of Jack White's new project, The Dead Weather, I was somewhat intrigued and little skeptical. I love Jack Whites other bands, The White Stripes and the Raconteurs. I didn't know how I felt about having Jack White on drums, not on guitar or vocals. The other thing I questioned was the fact that the lead singer is a chick. Not to say that there is anything wrong with chick lead singers, but we all know that chicks can't always rock as hard as guys. Well a great man once said, "Don't ask fucking questions!" And thats what I should have done from the beginning. I should have never questioned the legitimacy of any project that Jack White is involved in. He shares vocals with a the former lead singer of the kills, Allison Mosshart. Mosshart has a great rock n roll voice and really seems to be gettin er done on this album. I should have know that Jack White would not be spending time around her if she did not at least rock out. Guitar backing comes from Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita and bass is played by Raconteur's bassist Jack Lawrence. I highly recommend checking out Horehound by The Dead Weather. Any Jack White fan will not be disappointed. I was a little discouraged by the singles released online before the album, so get the whole album before you make any judgement. This album rocks harder than most that have come out this year. You can check out some videos of The Dead Weather here.

Check out a crazy music video for The Dead Weather: Treat Me Like Your Mother.

The Dead Weather - Treat Me Like Your Mother

Rock On.

Welcome big Z

An ode, an homage, and tribute, to our new fellow mate, contributer, and sexucator: WhoZohnFirst. I remember the first time we met, you smiled, I laughed, and the rest was history. Your enchanting ways and turtle'esk sideburns and swagger make me happy in the pants. Regardless of my sexual fantasies that include you, a paperclip, and ball of yarn, I want to remind everyone of the accomplishment that team ZoHan accomplished days before commencement. Donk Fest 09 was a hard faught battle. Brawn versus Brains. Looks versus Personality. Sense of Humor versus Drunkedness. And lets be real, you had them all that night and took one for the team, or yourself, I am not quite sure what happened to get yourself into that predicament but I salute you. You captured Donk Fest 09 with flying colors, way in front of the rest, and you rocked out the entire time. You not only rocked, but you f'en got er done in so many different levels, and I will never forget that. Can't wait to rage with you and all the fellas in Chi-Town. 

picture note: surprised we never had one picture together, maybe we did and it never got up, but this magical one was done in paint.

anyways, ROCKING OUT IS GETTIN'ER EFF'N DONE

ga ga ga GETTIN'ER

Shit that makes me laugh

HhhhaaRockin' Out,

Good news and bad news. After doing all but begging for a spot on this her' fine cultivation and decimation (that's not a typo) of fine ideas into the written word, I have been graciously awarded an opportunity to litter your brain with the shit that makes me laugh. The bad now. When I received this once in a lifetime opportunity, the noncontributing readership of this blog went from 2 to "Fishbain sometimes reads it". Here's the short. My interests are so incredibly limited and my knowledge of those interests is so incredibly vague, its laughable to think that anyone would be interested in reading what I have to say. That is how I knew that WhoZohnFirst and ROIGD was matrimony of the best kind. I like to think of myself as the trophy blogger in this marriage; the one with the best username, but once you get down to it, there is really nothing of substance and ROIGD just will slowly realize that marrying a bimbo to impress his friends was shallow and has really created more harm then good. ROIGD also didn't consider that leasing a car he couldn't afford to drive around his blogger that's just a name won't create happiness either. The sum of these parts will undoubtedly lead to feelingless sex, the kind that Kuhl enjoys with girls, and then none at all, the kind that this author knows, ahhh, a guy that clearly isn't him...told him about, or something. And so, for your first installment of Shit That Makes Me Laugh, I give you, my blogger-blog relationship. Now, one might ask why there is a picture of screaming SAWKS fans on this blog.

Its because I hate you. Hopefully I will get better at this as time goes.

Constantly working towards achieving a more perfect state of getttin' 'er done.

Last Canadian Post

Alright, here is my official last post about Canada, because this blog has been filled with way too much jizz-jazz canadian ruckus and we need to focus on f'en rocking (my fault world). But, I needed to address 2 final things about Canada:

1. Canadian Lingo help if you are ever in Canada - 

a. Eh? ... Basically turns every phrase into a question (this weather sucks eh?)

b. chirping - talking shit, running your mouth (what's that foo chirping about?)

c. beak - face, nose, facial features (look at your beak, it has spaghetti on it)

d. Brutal - pretty standard here, just they use it a lot (ah that job was brutal, eh?)

e. wicked - can be a good or bad thing in canada, kinda of used leniently (a man, it was just wicked)

f. Fuck all - nothing (ah, she's over their doing fuck all eh?)

g. choked - like complaining, pissed off (what is he getting all choked about?)

h. Canuck - Canadian

thats all I got. try not to use these, I have caught myself saying eh? and brutal a lot, so hopefully that stops soon. 

But the final thing I want to say about Canada, is they play REAL lacrosse. I have been playing field lacrosse my whole life, but nothing is like box lacrosse. Anything goes in box lacrosse. Fist fights, cross checks, pretty much everything outside of hitting a guy blatantly in the back when he isn't close to the ball. I have been playing Minor league lax up here in Vancouver the past month and a half, and have loved every second. Initially I tried out and made the Burnaby team who are second in the western conference, and then got traded to North Shore who was a middle of the road team, but I got tons of P.T. and loved getting in the thick of things. In case your wondering, the guy might have got the shot off (saved by our goalie) but he definitely ended up on his ass. Anyways, farewell Canada, hope things turn out well for you. 

My next post will be about my favorite lyrics, anybody have some favorite ones they want to share? ROCK y'all. 

Ga. Ga. Ga. GEEETTTIIINNNN'''''''ERRR!!!!

Editor's Request: A day in the life of a Canadian Brewman.

6:45- Alarm goes off as I embark on another day of boredom, manual labor, and impressive intelligence of those who one would call my "co-workers." 

7:00- After making a lunch usually comprised of a turkey sandwich, goldfish and fruit, I drive 20-25 minutes to Annacis Island, an island that basically is comprised of a sewage plant, other warehouses, and my brewery/warehouse: Turning Point Brewery. Just now finding a website for the beer, I am almost embarrassed I work for them. Don't get me wrong, the beer is actually pretty good, but this website was designed by a 4th grader. 

7:30- Work begins at the white board, where every individual is given their set of work instructions for the day including: 

Pick: You pick orders (beer or wine) that come in and put them on a pallet/skid. 

Rework: Hmm, easily the worst possible job ever. Basically you take a bottle of a product, and move it from one box, to another. Example: Take a Mike's Hard bottle from Cranberry and Lemonade and some other mike's and combine them in a new box, forming a Variety Pack!

Restock: basically restock the shelfs with new product. Our picking and restock involves products from:

Mission Hill Winery

Okanagan Cider (bottles and 2 liters)

Sonora Ranch Winery

Mike's Hard Lemonade

Painted Turtle Winery

White Horse Canyon Wines

obviously the beer, and more...

Cleanup: Pretty obvious on this one.

Container: So, our warehouse gets containers filled with wine from places all over the world and they come to us in 20, 40, or 53 feet long. Now these containers can either be on skids/pallets, slip sheets, or just thrown in there however they can fit them, therefore needed to be "handbalmed" from the floor of the truck onto a skid. This takes about 3-4 hours for a 40 footer, and 2 people unload a full container both taking out of the truck anywhere from 500-1,000 cases of wine weighing anywhere from 35-60 pounds. Talk about a bitch.

7:30 today- Cleanup and Rework. Great, loving life. Knew I was going to be bored as hell so I actually offered to do my 3rd container of the week just to pass the time. 

9:00 -   Container shows up. 1,600 cases. Lovely. The paperwork for the truck is all messed up, making my job a lot work. 

9:30- First break, or "coffee" as they like to call it. On break is where I get my real dosage of Canada reading two newspapers: The Metro which had a cover story today of a professional pin baller from Vancouver and 24 hours which had a cover story about some guy who got machete'd in the woods. These papers are poorly written, have no important information, and usually has about 2-3 pages worth of useless celebrity information. 

10- In the container, I start talking with one of my coworkers, Karl or Karla as we like to call him b/c he is worthless. However, he's a good conversationist and the best part of Canada is everyone wants to talk about greenery. Today we talked about greenery, the white pony, 3somes (not sure how that started) and somehow we even talked about the one, the only, Carly Churchey.

11:30- Lunch. Gotta love lunch. Lunch is probably the best part of the day, because I get a 30 minute break and get to talk with the locals. It is here I have been asked mind troubling questions like, "Do you have Subway in the States?," "Have you ever heard of Led Zeppelin," and my all-time favorite, "Do they have Sesame Street in the States?" Today I talked with a guy who honestly thought Canadian football was better than American Football, more importantly that the CFL was better than the NFL ... because the athletes were smaller, quicker and in better shape!!! I don't even want to start on how furious this makes me, so let's continue...

12-3:30 Do mindless work, usually try and look busy although all I am doing is driving around on my short fork lift, picking up and moving skids maybe a foot or two to make it appear as if I have something to do. 

3:30-4 count down the seconds until I can finally leave. 

4 o'clock: run out the front door. 

I wish I could say that there was more time for Rocking and Gettin'er done, but really work is comprised of trying to get through the day, rock out in my head, and count down the seconds until the day is over. 

ga ga ga GETTIN'ER
