ZK

And no I do not think that you could like me anyway, cos you are inferior to me.

Archers of Loaf. Took me a year to buy this live album, but upon first inspection I was a madman for waiting. Sooooo goood. Ickey Mettle was my first love affair with independent music. I rode my bike a mile through the bright sunshine to buy that, and with my own money no less.

Today, my teacher***1*** was explaining topics NOT to do for a "how-to" speech, and he was telling me about this Sophomore who last year did a speech on safe-sex, which the teacher OK'd cos he thought he was going to talk about condoms/abstinance and the like. Well....the kid ended up doing a speech on alternatives to "regular sex"***2***, which included a nice little section about "fisting". I kid you not. The whole class sort of shook in horror rather than laughed while the kid displayed said manner of "love". Yikes. Other than that, the future of America is looking about the same as it did the last time I was in high school: the kids with little to no social kids get picked on/ignored***3***, the football players get all the girls regardless of their abilities to form complete sentences***4***, and overall everybody is good they just don't wanna be there too much. Even the smart kids fall asleep in class sometimes. Even I...nevermind.

Next five: "Chumming the oceans (liVe)" by archers of loaf; "sylvia plath" by ryan adams; "polymer" by bluetip; "should've been in love" by wilco; and "not showering for four days makes you a goddamn dirty hippy" by zkandtheloislayne.

in the stereo: Archers of Loaf "Seconds before the accident"

**1***at the high school
***2***think hot dogs and donuts...you get the idea.
***3***this one kid is definitely not a "cool" kid, according to his peers, and I guess he's got a girlfriend now, and they were razzing him about it and one of the girls actually said, to his face, "oh, isn't that the fat girl?" with little to no meanness in her voice, implying that she didn't realize how callous she was being by saying such a thing. Yikes.
***4***know that my big bro and quite a few of my friends were both football players and complete sentence users, I am talking about those football players. The ones that threw spaghetti on the ceiling of the cafeteria.
