Waging War

So, I'm reading Lullaby by Chuck Palahniuk because it's a great fucking book. I mean, all of his books are great, but this one is really great. Actually, it's his fourth best book out of seven, but right now it's really resonating with me. Just to be a nerd and give a quick summary of the book, it's about a reporter who notices that a lullaby is killing people. It's actually a culling song found in a poetry book. He realizes it's potential to wipe out the entire population, so he goes on a mission to find all of the books that contain it and destroy them. Things don't go so well for him and the book explains what happens. It's really good, but my point is...

I've been listening to Blaze by Lagwagon a lot. And I mean a lot. It's either that or Sleepasaurus. But, mostly, it's Blaze. Anyhow, one day I started reading that book and I realized that a lot of the words in the book are very, very similiar to the lyrics of the song. After a few more pages, I noticed it was word for word. I mean, it was obviously the basis for the song. Then I realized how huge of a nerd I was.

I was happy that the guys in Lagwagon, people I don't know and will never meet, are fans of Chuck Palahniuk. I was happy. Do you understand what I'm saying? I was happy that people I like are fans of someone else I like. How fucking gay is that?

Answer: A Lot!

But, then I realized that I do that quite a bit. If I hear that an actor or a comedian or whoever is a fan of someone that I'm a fan of, or they have a certain political view or whatnot that I have, then I get happy. I don't like the person anymore than I did, but I just feel happy that they agree with me. I'm not one of those people that bases their opinion on what others think. If Kevin Smith says he hates the president, I don't change my opinion and start hating the president or anything, but since I hate the president to begin with, I become happy that someone I am a fan of agrees with me. Know what I mean? I feel that maybe, just maybe, I might meet him and since we like the same things then he'll befriend me and we'll get to hang out and talk about movies and shit. It's not going to happen and I know that, but deep down, my stupid daydreaming part wants it to be true. How gay am I?

Answer: Oodles.

So, I found out that Lagwagon has a new album on the way and I'm pretty stoked. If it's half as good as the newest one, then I'll be pretty disappointed, but it will still be better than anything My Chemical Romance has ever put out. Fuck those guys. But, seriously, if it's half as good as Blaze it will still be a pretty kick as album. So, I'm looking forward to that. And...

Kids in the Hall: Season Three is finally coming out. I have a boner already. All I have to do is pay the nice man on the internet sixty dollars and he will mail it to me. I'm going to do it because I'm lame and the Kids in the Hall got my thru my awkward teenage years, which sadly, are years I'm still going thru apparently. Wait, I was was less awkward when I was fifteen. I hate my life.

Well, I'm going because I'm tired and frankly, fuck you guys. Maybe tomorrow I'll talk about how my nickname should be Third Wheel. Won't that be fun?

Answer: No
