Haircut, Flat, Valentine Hype

If you like techno, dance music and you like video games, check out http://remix.overclocked.org/. Lots of remixed game music on there, all very good. So what’s my story today? Well, I went to get my hair cut. My step-mom’s going to school for cosmetology and she does a mighty fine job. Check out my new do on the cam. She even cooked some supper for me, its rare I get a nice cooked meal anymore. And to top off all the excitement of this food and my new haircut, I just had to have a tragedy happen. Going down the road and I must have hit a damn hole or something in the road and instantly had a flat tire, or maybe it just decided to blow on its own. I was trapped. I pulled over beside some old barn and called the roadside assistance. Paying all this money for this new Sebring, I’m gonna use it if I got it. So I did and the lady was asking where I was at, and I told her I didn’t know, I was driving and it just happened. I gave her an approximate of where I was, and they took all my info and all that jazz and had their so smart computer call me back and tell me how long it would be before someone would get there. 35 minutes. So I waited and waited. And I thought you know, if I really wanted to I could have done it myself in 35 minutes. But it was so cold, I had my work clothes on and my new shoes and gonna get a haircut and eat some food and all that jazz and I was gonna use my newfound help from this car deal. So the guy arrived and did his thing and that was that.

Its getting close to Valentines Day, and each day of my miserable life that I check the Yahoo Personals it kindly reminds me how many more days it is to Valentines Day. Like the race is on or something. And as I continue with my pathetic little soul searching adventure to personals.theonion.com and www.dreammates.com and www.kiss.com and www.friendfinder.com and so on and so forth it’s like you have to have a partner for Valentines Day. Not because you are gonna be lonely, or whatever other reason there could be to remind you of how much of a failure you are, but because if you don’t have a date for Valentines, you won’t be buying any cards, going out to eat, sending flowers. It’s all a corporate sponsorship now. As long as you have a partner on Valentines, you must buy something. And its evolved so much into other things like buy her a new car, buy him a new truck, buy her a nice stereo system.. I’ve gotten so many emails of a special on this for Valentines and you can win this for Valentines. Blow it. Reminds me of a show I watched recently on PBS about how the American culture is changing because of media and corporations. Basically it all comes down to those who hate the mainstream stuff delve into their own little worlds. Get interested in strange bands, only watch certain TV shows, listen to certain music because that makes them different. And being a part of that group that listens to so and so band is a feeling of togetherness with all the others who listen to said band. Your own little family of people who don’t want to have a family. All these kids who will no longer listen to parents and situational TV shows and teachers and things because they are mainstream. Turns out, in the end to get a message across to a kid, it must be corporate sponsored. Saving the planet is not cool, but MTV saving the planet is cool and if I could pick up some trash while listening to puff daddy rap or do whatever it is he calls whatever it is that he does then that’s all right.
