this is quite possibly the funniest thing ever. who here really needs proof that the onion rocks ass? well if you do, here it is.

another day winds to a close, and i'm still trying to figure out what to do with myself. i guess i can talk about shit until i'm blue in the face, but it'll never do me any good.

i'm just happy that i'll be going to bloomington to see the casket lottery again next weekend. i really miss those guys.

have a good night, little ones…

nice to see that matt finally updated a little bit over there. he's slow, but he'll warm up to this gig sooner or later.

on matt: we only push him and goad him because we know he will refuse. it's fun to watch matt completely ignore our efforts. at least he knows we genuinely care.

i hadn't visited kempa.com in a while, so it's nice to know adam is still plugging away over there. despite his purchase of a portable mp3 player…now he probably spends 16 hours out of the day on napster. oh well.

if you like live indie-rock, and you've exhausted the transmission3000 archives, check out indie-pop live. he's got some awesome shows, and he's a damn cool kid in general.

i have to go pretend like i'm working…

another day comes to a close. there's not enough going on in my life right now to warrant a weblog. oh well.

one thing I have realized in the past month or so is that if I'm going to be in a band, I probably need to learn how to play guitar.

something else I discovered recently–I'd heard it mentioned before, but this article claims to be quoting from "official" reports by organizations like the American Cancer Society–anyway, I learned that beer really is good for you.

brian may be right. perhaps I am a chickenshit. but when you're at a show to listen to one of your favorite bands, romance suddenly gets knocked down the priority list… at least for me. I go to shows to see my favorite artists play my favorite music, to enjoy hearing it live and louder than my dinky stereo at home will go.
then there's the whole thing where ALL my friends were goading me into talking to this girl. their pushing never works, and yet they always do it.
finally, this girl may have looked good enough for me to want to grab her and do the standing wheelbarrow right there in the middle of the show, but she's one of those girls who looks good, knows it, and then tries to prove it. basically, she was acting like she was some hot shit, and that kind of attitude just turns me right off. I don't mind a girl having a little attitude, hell I encourage it, but when she thinks she's just the greatest thing going, she's not.
so, maybe I'm a chicken shit for not walking up to her, bumping the morons she was talking to out of the way, and at least saying hi. maybe so, but I feel justified since she pretty much just annoyed the hell out of me through 90% of the show once my friends shut up and stopped bugging me so I could actually watch her and see if she was worth the trouble. (oh, and the 10% of the show where she wasn't annoying was when she was actually just standing there listening to the music, and not trying to act like a badass)

damn, kinda went off there.

g'night.

a certain kerroo likes to talk smack. she obviously isn't up on her fincher. cut the speculation.

this hurts. sebastian and i are close to tears. if anyone wants to buy those for us and split them down the middle…we'll be your friends. really. forever.

and my fucking name is not slim.

the most beautiful thing… enjoy it. transmission3000 is linked, so they can't be half bad…

on the subject of the kerroo spat: she emailed me back and she is now and forevermore in my good graces. otherwise she'd beat me up. let's all say it together…"we love kerry."

they're re-releasing wonder boys this october. it's a great movie and everyone should go see michael douglass in his best movie since the game.

what part of "if it ain't laser paper, we won't do it" don't some people understand?

as always, check out signal drench. if you ever wanted to know how to do an indie webzine right, there's your answer.

the reverend suitably rocked my world last night. jess will probably yell at me and say "you don't even like rockabilly." but i'd have to say it…i thoroughly enjoyed the show.

matt is a chicken shit. why. we theorized that she might be a "dancer."

more later.

well, brian over there's taken off like a lemur, so I guess I better get crackin.

got me a new j o b today, I'll be workin at Kinko's third shift. I fucking hate third shift, but my broke ass needs money. being unemployed for a month and a half–though relaxing and enjoyable in a "hey I don't have to do shit" kind of way–really sucked. it's nice to be occasionally able to eat.

ok. so brian and I and a few friends went to see The Reverend tonight, and as always, they fuckin rocked. if you've not heard the Heat, get your ass to your nearest record store and buy "Holy Roller" (a best of collection, and a very good introduction to the band).

damn, it's almost 5:30 in the a.m., time to smoke my last cigarette of the day and hit the sack.

wasting company time is grand. i really don't know what i'd do if i actually had to work for my money…

anyway, i'm out to see the rev. horton heat after work. that should be fun. i've never caught his live show, but i'm sure it'll be interesting.

kerroo never wrote me back…i guess my subject line wasn't flashy enough. oh well…i have bigger fish to fry.

more later tonight…

welcome to my first real post on bipolar.

i'm brian, and i'll be playing the part of the left brain around here. i do a website called transmission3000, as well as being a founding member of x:13 design. matt (right brain) and i decided to do this as a little addendum to the x:13 site to give people a glimpse at what makes us tick.

beware. it's ugly.

i'll mainly be posting little indie-rock tidbits i find while wasting company time at my day job, as well as random rantings about being stuck in the computer service industry (labeled: hell).

so have a look around, and maybe we'll say something exceptionally witty someday that you can then steal and never admit that you saw it first on some hole-in-the-wall weblog.

and then again…maybe not.
