"This Is the End" - Straylight Run

Hello All,

I’ve been all MAL’d out lately...still at work right now. For all you non advertising folks, MAL is Media Arts Lab and they handle all the Apple stuff and they work harder than the Jamaican family in In Living Color. (that’s right Spellcheck, you fucking bitch always calling me out for messing up and misspelling and typoing). I hate it, I just said “in” twice and didn’t get shit.

Crap, I’m starting to lose you guys. Ok, well, first of all, I’m real thankful for having Roy as a friend, he hooked me up with a free ticket to see Straylight Run perform at Hotel Café last Thursday. I had to pay for parking and that wasn’t worth my hourly rate..so the show was still whatever. I’m still whatever with the band. But I did manage to smile when I heard today’s song.

I’ll tell you about Straylight Run. The guy....has to go. The girl, she’s insanely pretty so she gets to stay here and rock my world (yes, I’ve been referring to Rock of Love a lot lately, I just really want to wear leather pants (in public) and drink some Bret Brew (sometimes, in public)). Something about girls baring their shoulders just..just makes me want to bear their shoulders. I’m emery boarding my claws right now. For real, no joke.

Well, I’ll tell you what’s missing with them. They looked BORED on stage. Ok, so here’s the deal, just because it’s acoustic and gut wrenching, it really just is frosting on the cake. I mean, you can get a pile of dog poop and make it look like a wedding cake, but I’ll tell you....something’s stinky about it. Wow, two puns in two paragraphs. I think I want to change my name to Ostrich. And if you think they’re that dope because they’re that emotional and what not, but compare them to Iron and Wine. Cake anyone?

Oh yeah, here’s a pic of the Cat Power concert. Angela called me out, saying that I didn’t enjoy the show as much and that I was let down. I was, she’s my favorite artist, after all. I was just hoping to hear some classics. If anyone’s interested in a Cat Power compilation, let me know and I’ll post it onto my blog (I can resend the link if no one has it) and you guys can download it and fall in love with her madness and be an emotional wreck like me.

I was telling Zac earlier this evening, that my list is very self exploitive. I can’t help it. I feel these feelings when I hear music. I think these thoughts when I hear something powerful and often times it leaves me feeling empty and I get scared that all these thoughts will just go to waste if I don’t convey them. So therefore, I put myself out there all the time, my soul walks on that emotional limb and my heart exploits itself. It wears pasties on its valves and 6 inch heels on its ventricles and shakes its booty for you all to marvel at.

But I’m telling you. It’s got big plans, this heart of mine. It’s just trying to pay tuition, that’s all.

THIS IS THE END

I'm gonna hide out all night,
Close my curtain, and dim my light.
I'm gonna lay here alone,
Close my eyes, and wish for home.

The last time that I saw you,
This is the end of, this is the end of
The last time that I saw you,
This is the end of, this is the end.

Your face is surrounding me,
It's the only face I wanna see.
For now, we're safe on the ground,
We've got these words, these songs, these sounds.

The last time that I saw you,
This is the end of, this is the end of.
The last time that I saw you,
This is the end of, this is the end.

Ooh, ooh...

Last time that I saw you,
This is the end of, this is the end of.
Last time that I saw you (I'm gonna hide out all night)
This is the end of, this is the end of (Close my curtains, dim my lights.)
Last time that I saw you, (I'm gonna lay here alone)
This is the end of, this is the end (Close my eyes, and wish for home)

Ooh, ooh...
