So it's been over a year since I last posted on here. I may post some in the future, but for right now I think I post more often and just as sporadically at my music blog I created last fall

Ron Paul

2008-03-02T05:37:07Z

Some of you will get a kick out of this. A lot are the same as Chuck Norris jokes, but still funny.

1. Ron Paul doesn't go the gym. He stays fit by exercising his civil rights.

2. Ron Paul delivers babies without his hands. He simply reads them the Bill of Rights and they crawl out in anticipation of freedom.

3.Jesus wears a wrist band that says "What Would Ron Paul Do?"

4. Ron Paul doesn't pee. He liberates urine.

5. Ron Paul gets high on freedom.

8. When Chuck Norris gets scared, he goes to Ron Paul.

9. I just saved a bunch of money by switching to Ron Paul.

10. Ron Paul has no alarm clock, but instead wakes every morning to the call of freedom.

11. Ron Paul doesn't cut taxes. He kills them with his bare hands.

12. Ron Paul's tears can shrink government spending. Too bad he never cries.

13. Ron Paul doesn't write books. The words assemble out of fear.

14. Waldo cannot hide from Ron Paul.

15. Ron Paul let the dogs out. They were being held unconstitutionally.

16. Ron Paul can believe its not butter.

17. When fascism goes to sleep at night, it checks under the bed for Ron Paul.

18. Gold is backed by Ron Paul.

19. A Klondike bar would do anything for a Ron Paul.

20. The sun will go blind if it stares at Ron Paul.

21. Ron Paul is so in favor of the First Amendment, he runs attack ads against himself.

22. Ron Paul is Darth Vader's father.

23. If Ron Paul had lived in Sparta, the movie would have been called "1″

Hairbanger's Ball

Hairbanger's Ball is at the Bluebird this Saturday night for anyone wishing to prime their livers for homecoming.

1. I heart football. Sept/Oct are the glory months for sports. End of baseball season and start of NFL/college football.
2. It's nice to see Jason David still really sucks while wearing another uniform.

I'm scared

2007-01-25T15:33:13Z

I promise to make a more substantial post at some point later, but I am doing research for a box I need to build right now. While doing a parts search I was led to a datasheet stored on Herniter's Rose-Hulman webpage. Out of principle I think I should not use this part now.

Drunk dials

2006-12-15T03:45:55Z

I miss drunk dials. Being old and knowing only old people generally prevents drunk dials during the week, but when they happen they are hilarious. In that spirit, Saturday night I vow to drunk dial while at Hairbanger's Ball.

Big update

2006-08-12T18:26:46Z

I have been very busy lately and neglecting lj completely as well as not being able to talk to my friends much, so I'll try and hit all the big changes in this entry.

I've been at my new job for six months so far and it is going great. I actually have stuff to do and a clear leadership. It's a complete 180 from my first job. At the end of July I got promoted to Production/Technical Lead on our project, which means I manage the finances and scheduling and all that good stuff. It keeps me very busy, but I enjoy doing it. I'm getting ready to fly out to San Diego tomorrow until Wednesday to do some testing. I love work travel, cause it doesn't cost a dime to visit San Diego for 3 days!

I got a dog at the end of June. Chocolate Lab who weighs about 85 pounds. His list of favorite things to do includes play fetch, chew everything he can find, and whine when you don't pay attention to him at all times. His dislikes include thunderstorms and the dark brown sphere pieces of his dog food.

Finally the biggest thing. I just signed an offer for a house. I close on Sept 8 and I'll probably move in 1st of October. Melodie will move in when her lease expires in May. I got a great deal on a good 2067 sq ft starter home on .345 acres. It's very nice for the price I got. I'm excited. I didn't dislike living at Brad's, but it's not layed out the way I like and buying a house makes all sorts of sense. The goal was to get something I can afford myself so when Melodie moves in any income she provides is bonus to do more cool stuff.

All right, that's all the major stuff for now. Maybe I'll update again in another 3 months.

Weekend Plans

2006-04-29T13:44:42Z

This weekend I will be in Indy. I have a dentist's appointment in greenwood friday morning so there is no way I can be sucked into working this Friday. So my plans are:
Thursday night: Drive to Indy. Attend dinner at Beer Sellar if anyone is going out there.
Friday: Dentist appointment. Other random Friday day activities.
Friday night: Dinner then some bar action downtown.
Saturday: Geni & Tracy's cookout/party.
Anyone in the Indy area who I haven't seen in a while (which is pretty much everyone right now) give me a call at some point this weekend.

In addition, Greg Maddux is an absolute stud. I don't know how the Cubs are winning without Lee, but they are so that's cool. Now if they'd only show more games on tv.

Monthly update

2006-04-15T21:12:21Z

It seems I've become very bad at updating this thing. I guess that's what happens when you spend 9 hours a day doing real work as opposed to 8 hours sitting around reading LJ all day. Not that I'm complaining. It feels great to actually have my mind stimulated again and feel like I'm doing something useful. I enjoy being around my co-workers and they are actually social and fun to just talk to as well. The decision to change jobs was 100% percent correct.

When I was growing up I used to enjoy winter. This year I was sick of it by January. This past week has been nice. Hopefully we have some spring this year and don't go straight into summer. My goal is to play golf at least once a week, even if only 9 holes. I shot a 54 on nine holes at Cascades last week, so I'm off to a relatively good start for the year.

Last night we watched Chronicles of Narnia (great movie). Tonight as soon as Mel gets off work, we're heading down to my parents/aunts house for Easter weekend activities. I need some bid euchre action.

And I'm done for now

Update

2006-03-14T23:42:40Z

I'm not dead. In fact, very alive. It's amazing how much less time you have to post when you don't spend 8 hours a day sitting on your ass doing nothing. New job is going great, and I'm getting back into my workaholic mode and gotten rid of most of my bad working habits already since I have a real job with cool people again. More intense update at a later time. I'll probably see most of you in Terre Haute this weekend.

Job stuff

2006-01-10T17:07:35Z

To paraphrase a phone conversation I just had
[11 am. Phone rings]
Jed: Hello
Nathan: Hey we have a job opening up. Kelly will get you an offer next week or so then you can put in your two weeks. I'll probably be your boss.
Jed: Awesome!

So it looks like I'll be a government employee in a month. I'm not really too concerned about pay. I know the general benefits package I'll get and, I figure even if pay is at the low end, 50k is plenty for me right now. I'd rather be happy at work.

Country music rant

2006-01-05T19:25:07Z

"Country music sucks" -spoken by countless people I've heard.

Obviously I disagree with this statement, but if my only knowledge of country music came from listening to Nashville music I would probably agree. Popular country music for the most part isn't actually country music. It's pop music with a steel guitar thrown in. Artists are made to produce money and catchy hooks, actual music quality and craftsmanship be damned.

I don't want trite love songs sung by voices with no soul in them. To paraphrase David Allan Coe, it ain't a real country song unless you mention mamas...or trucks...or trains...or prison....or getting drunk. To update it a bit any references to cowboys, gospel or other artists or songs is also acceptable.

There's a reason I hate emo music. I really don't want to hear some depressing song about how your daddy didn't love you enough when were growing up. Music is supposed to be fun, not make me want to kill myself.

In that mode, in a country song I don't want to hear about how someone you loved died (unless you killed them) or how somebody you don't really even seem to know has cancer. If you are going to write a depressing song, at least make sure the singer sounds rugged or fits the song (i.e. Monday Morning Church, anything by Cash).

Country & Western music is Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, etc. When I think of those names I think of country music. Even most "country-haters" like the real country music. On the other hand, when I think of Keith Urban's music or new Rascal Flatts it makes me want to throw up in my mouth. How is this classified as country at all?

Real country music still exists, only it's found in "Texas Country" which never gets played on the radio. These songs are real, not just a way to make a quick dollar. Pick up some Cross Canadian Ragweed, Shooter Jennings, Reckless Kelly, or Drive By Truckers and you'll see what real country music is about.

Now to finally get to what inspired this post I listened to Big & Rich's new album in full today. Pure and complete crap! It's amazing how on one album a new group can show promise and make me look forward to the next album, only to totally turn country pop and make horrible music a year later. While really only known for Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy, their first album contained many true country songs about cowboys, outlaws, God and lots of other stuff that sounds like good country. The new album sounds like everything else crappy on the radio now. I don't think I've been this disappointed in a new album since...umm...last year when Kenny decided to turn totally crappy. At least there were some warning signs there as most of his early career stuff was crappy. Big & Rich just turned overnight.

When I first thought of this, it struck me as odd that perhaps one of country's biggest names and one of the first pioneers (well of modern times anyway) to successfully cross over with country music into the pop stream is one of my favorite artists. Garth definitely made country cool to listen to again and led into this new country. It seemed odd to me I still love most of Garth's stuff, but dislike a majority of the pop country stuff that floods the airwaves now.

After analyzing it though it makes sense. It takes a greater talent to cross into a new territory than to follow into that same place. The first artists to do something new have the talent to do it, and then once it becomes mainstream all the knock-offs with lesser talent come. I like The Sex Pistols and the Ramones, but don't like a whole lot of punk. I loved Nirvana and the music in Pearl Jam (Eddie Vedder's voice=blah), but I hate most of the grunge stuff that is on the radio now. It's not Nirvana, Pearl Jam and to a slightly lesser degree Neil Young's fault they created a new grunge sound and newer lesser talented bands copied them.

I guess everything goes in cycles. Hopefully someday good music will actually be the stuff that's popular as well. Maybe another Johnny Cash, Beatles, Zeppelin, Nirvana, etc. will come around and give music a kick in the butt, but until then I get my rants:)

New Year's Eve

2005-12-19T23:01:08Z

I feel the need to get very sloshed on New Year's and be around friends. However, I really don't like bars too much on new year's. How does a game/cards night involving booze somewhere sound to anybody who doesn't have new year's plans already?

Weekend update (As much for keeping me sane and organized as for my readers)

Thursday & Friday
Dependant on weather
The plan right now is to take tomorrow off work, so I can go to Indy tonight and also clean my apartment, do some xmas shopping, etc. tomorrow. Heavy snow later may prevent this if I don't feel like driving in it. If I stay here tonight I'll probably work a half day tomorrow.

Friday night
A friend has a leftover keg from a party last weekend. We must drink it. Danielle issued a challenge last night that we couldn't finish it all. Must...prove...her...wrong.
Then at 10 off to Hairbanger's Ball. Anybody is welcome to partake in drinking and umm..80's music-ing and crash at my place if need be. Austin, Zeb, Ryan and Darin are at least coming for sure right now.

Saturday
Wake up (possibly in the pm hours), drive home for mom's birthday dinner at The Patio. Eat good food and play cards all night.

Sunday
Go to church, watch Colts game with dad, then drive back to Bloomington to prepare for the last full work week of the year (thank god)

Wow there are so many of my favorites I couldn't even get to.

I'm bored...Music rant time

2005-11-17T20:27:54Z

Alright time to piss people off. New music sucks. I said it. I'm tired of listening to B97 in the weight room. I really want to get into better shape, but since my mp3 player is not functioning properly right now, I feel like stabbing myself in the eardrums with ice picks after about 5 minutes of being there listening to solid crap. What ever happened to real music played by real musicians, and meaningful song lyrics by people who could actually lend feeling to the song? The acoustic guitar and harmonica are practically gone in popular music, replaced by computer beats and other random noise.

My only conclusion I can come to is people are stupid. I can understand if some people like to dance and like a few rap songs because of that. Personally I hate it, but then again I don't like to dance. I like to wear my cowboy hat, drink beer and listen to dumb country songs because that's what I do, but I realize they aren't the best songs in the world, just good to drink to. So if someone likes that music to dance to, but still appreciates good stuff then no complaints from me (as long as I don't have to hear it), but some people actually like only bad music. This baffles me. Not to mention the actual musicianship and vocals (which can't be done very well over the net without audio) here are some examples of just what is wrong with lyrics. I understand many rappers and pop singers want to get laid, which is admirable, but at least write some good lyrics or at very least make sexual play on words like they did in the 80's.

Note: I actually listened to these songs on Rhapsody to make sure they were bad so I had some merit for criticizing them. I found a few songs that were actually decent enough (not good, but decent) to not be included in this study.

Example #1 Run It by Chris Brown (currently #2 on the charts)
I got friends, and you got friends
They hop out, and you hop in
I look fly, and they jockin
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop
The way you drop, drop makes me wanna pop

Is he dropping a deuce? Does this excite him? I have no idea what's going on so let's review a better set of lyrics

Across The Universe (J. Lennon)
Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Ah full of similes and imagery. It's almost poetic. The only way it could be better is if he mentioned how the images were "jockin'"

Example #2 My Humps - Black Eyed Peas (currently #3 on the Top 40)

What you gonna do with all that junk?
All that junk inside your trunk?
I’m a get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
My hump, my hump, my hump, my hump, my hump,
My hump, my hump, my hump, my lovely little lumps. (Check it out)

I know when I am trying to pick up a woman, I tell her how I'm going to get her drunk, talk about her fat ass, and hump her. That's very romantic.

Let's see how Mr. Neil Young writes

Like A Hurricane

You are like a hurricane
There’s calm in your eye.
And I’m gettin’ blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I’m getting blown away.

Hmmm..again similes and imagery. The double meaning of the word eye. Great lyrics.

Alright one more

Example #3 Holla back girl by Gwen Stefani

A few times I've been around that track
So it's not just goin' to happen like that
'Cause I ain't no holla back girl
I ain't no holla back girl

ooh, this my shit , this my shit

Wow, people actually like this music. No, seriously. Are we supposed to be attracted to Gwen Stefani's feces? Again I'm confused.

Love and a .45 (Chris Knight)

Parole number fourteen two
Stands on the corner like she used to do
She's been away awhile so she's a little afraid
And the judge said he didn't want to see her again
But she's got no money she's got no rent
The money she had is already spent
Cause a couple of weeks ago she learned her lesson
Went and brought herself a little Smith and Wesson

Love and a 45
Are all you need to get thru the night
One'll kill you one'll keep you alive
Love and a 45

Wow a song that tells a story. And a chorus where it gives the two subject matters the opposite connotation of their usual associations. Bravo Mr. Knight. That his shit! That his shit!

Hmmm...I rather like making sarcastic comments about bad songs. Perhaps I shall do it more often. I hope it amuses my readers as much as it does me:)

Yay Homecoming

2005-09-26T20:11:32Z

Yes it's only Monday, but I'm already hyped up for homecoming. This is going to be a slow four day week. Anyway if anyone cares I think this is my schedule for the weekend
Thursday: Quarter Beers at Sonaks', minimal sleep in hotel room
Friday: Wake up at 7:30 continue drinking to avoid hangover while golfing. Shuttle to next golf destination, then to Sonka's for more drinking, followed by country bar/beer bar. Pass out in nearest conveninient location (i.e. hotel room, couch, pool table, middle of basement floor)
Saturday: Picnic at house, possibly poker at house, banquet, more Sonka's and beer bar. Sleep.
Sunday: First Wok then go home and commence dying once my body realizes it's not in college anymore.

Donnie Darko

2005-09-21T19:04:54Z

I love time travel movies. I own the Back To The Future Trilogy as well as bootleg DVD's of all episodes of Quantum Leap. I've been hearing for a long time from friends that Donnie Darko is really good, so last night I finally caved in and went over to Brad's and watched it.
Verdict: I really liked it. It was a good mindfuck movie, and it was just abstract enough that the whole infinity loop and time travel stuff didn't seem to be the main point, so the scientific side of me wasn't bothered by it. I think it will definitely be added to the DVD collection the next time I donate money to Best Buy.
