I was informed this morning that the Pixies have once again joined forces to battle against the forces of unoriginal, corporate rock. To my dismay, though, I was three weeks late in getting tickets for their show in the cities. Dang. I am really bent out of shape about missing this show. Hopefully if the tour goes well they will swing back in to town.
I just woke up to the song Land of Confusion by Genesis pounding in my head. Thank god for iTunes. The single will have to hold me over until I can get to Best Buy for the entire Invisible Touch album (circa ‘86). I have my uncle Mark to thank for my Genesis/Phil Collins appreciation.
Today is my 26th birthday. It’s a bittersweet birthday for a few reasons. I never planned by life beyond 25. When I was 16 I never thought past 25. I figured one of two things would happen (and don’t freak out Mom and Dad, I was 16): 1. I wouldn’t make it past 25 so there was nothing to worry about or 2. I would figure it out by the time I was 26 and know exactly what to do. Well, guess what? I didn’t figure it out and I’m still here. So I’m stuck not quite knowing what to do for my 26th birthday. When I was 16 being 25 seemed so old. I figured I wouldn’t have to worry about anything beyond it. Hmm. Nice thoughts for my birthday, eh?
Bah, this Land of Confusion copy sucks from iTunes. I’ll have to go get the album itself.
Life has finally left me at a loss for words. I have no comment.
I was a little vocal about my displeasure about the movie The Passion of the Christ and Mel Gibson’s seemingly endless ego about making it. But my curiosity got the better of me and I found myself in line Sunday to see it.
After viewing The Passion I can honestly say that all my comments about Gibson’s righteousness and pretentiousness were dead on. I’m not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination but it seemed very arrogant of Gibson to make such a movie in such a way. I think I’m mostly concerned that Gibson felt he could make the fifth gospel, which is what the movie is portrayed as. And also that people will begin to believe that the truth is a Hollywood media frenzy, and not the bible.
Not that I care much, I just don’t like gullible people.
BTW, don’t forget to pick up any of the offically licensed merchandise. Chances are it will bring you closer to God.
