The Holtonian

A Pot of Coffee, Springing Forward, and Losing touch with Reality

Well I'm out of the pool for church and my office. I did win one of the ones at work, but it wasn't for money. I'm kind of bummed b/c I wanted some moolah.

In other news on SNL tonight the killers, sucked. It was a repeat and I'd never seen them perform before but man they have zero stage presence. It's hard for a front man to be a front man unless they can be cool/zany/or just hip or have a guitar or spoons. When I think of a great front man I actually think of Beck and Bono also Jim Morrison was dang good. Beck is just awesome when he dances or just gets into his songs. Bono, well he's sort of a wanker but one that is so cool that he pulls it off and is just larger than life. Cold Play guy too can really get into the piano where you're like, "if this song wasn't so easy to play on the piano I'd think he was beet-oven or something..." But yeah the killer lead singer has a psuedo homo thing going, no offense intended for those who have a full-blown homo thing going. But I mean he was like the lead singer of the Simple Minds, who I think actually was gay...or at least British... they can be easily confused, but anyway Killer dude was like the Simple Mind guy but just lame. Hm... probably just offended a whole mess of people there... whoops. So much for running for district judge... oh wait I think I have to go Law school for that.

SO where was I? Oh yeah, killers, pretty bad. They're music is a good tempo and if you just had a guy fronting who could dance or be really weird like Jim Morrison or even the Simple Mind guy, and then it would work. But Killer singer just sort of sits there not sure of what to do with himself. That and they dress like a bunch of hipster wanna bees. They looked like they were trying to be too cool for school a little bit too much. I mean the wrinkled suit and tie under the shirt... it was just so forced. Then on his second set he wore a pink leather coat, which leads me to think he's not British (as he's from Vegas apparently)... so that only leaves one other option... he bats for the other team. He's a lefty if you know what I mean... no offense to those that are left handed or ambidextrous, I'm merely trying to say he's gay without saying it.... whoops said it. Not that there's anything wrong with it...unless you read the Bible, then you may have a problem. Then again you could argue that that was merely a cultural thing and the Bible can be changed to meet today's standards... but you'd be dead wrong and pretty stupid... but you can do that... I mean its America we have the right to be stupid and ignore truth. Where am I going with this?

I went to put my apple sticker on my car today... it came with my free Rosiah Ipod Shuffle To The Max but my car was gone... left it at work... hope its still there... hope it still works... otherwise I don't know what I'll put my apple sticker on.

That New Budweiser Select tastes like the crappiest thing this side of the hemisphere. It seriously tasted like someone dropped an Alka-Seltzer in my beer. My buddy A-ron bought a 12 packer last night and he had one and was done b/c it was that bad. I being a guest didn't want to turn down free beer and choked three down but regretted every bit of it that night and the next day. Somehow I got sick and the chick filet I had today didn't seem to make anything better... I thought that maybe the Chicken would counter act the acid in my stomach and make me feel better but it just made me queasy. We went to Lowes today to buy stuff for the yard. We're trying to make it look nice in an effort to make it look like we actually take care of the outside of our house. I spread some weed n feed and we bought some holly bushes and flowers and such to plant here and there and everywhere. Mr. Lowe got a good chunk of my change, though it's all ok (not all good, just all ok) because the wife's nannying will help pay for home repairs and such.

Then we had some friends come up to watch the horrible game... stupid Michigans. But UNC vs. Illinois will be a better match up and a great game and a great team will win either way. Though I'd rather have 35 bucks. I've had about a pot of coffee tonight and I'm losing an hour... super!
