Right now I feel as though I can't shake a feeling of nervousness...I just don't know what I am nervous about.
School has been going really well. I got an A on my last government test. I was really nervous about this test so I decided I would study really really well and BAM I GOTTA A!
My music appreciation class is a pain in my asshole. I thought that it would be so simple. I thought some prof was gonna walk in and play something by Brahms and say "Do you appreciate this?" I would then nod and say " yeah, it's alright." She would at least give me a B for that statement. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS CLASS IS ABOUT AT ALLLLLLL! I have had to learn the history of classical music and how it came about, I have had to learn to identify composers just by "knowing their style." I got a packet of papers and quizzes back recently from that class and received nothing lower than a B on that group of stuff.
My logic class....this is a whole different story. MY PROF IS A FUCKING MORON!!!!!!!! I was having a hard time with logic and when I went to the professor for help he stated " I won't do your homework for you." when i said "oh ummmm well I just need you to explain how to do it. Then I will do it on my own." he said " Your looking at this wrong." I was telling another student in the class about what he said and she completely taught me how to do this formula in 5 mins I got a 100% on the test. The day before Thanksgiving this professor came in with like 10 pizzas and said "have at it" then he took out his guitar and began to play "The night they drove old dixie down" by the band which was cool but....i would have much rather learned how to do the FUCKING formula.
I watched the President's speech last night and I am torn on how I feel about it. I don't agree with war. I think issues can be solved in other ways. Although if the people you have an issue with want to start a war...what can you do. I mean if someone is going to attack you do you have to fight back or just take it? I don't in anyway support the war in Iraq. I do however somewhat understand what is happening in Afghanistan. This doesn't mean that I agree with it. The President stated last night that 30,000 more troops would be needed to complete the war in Afghanistan. I guess I can side with that if it means an end to the war. I don't know if it really does though. I am very uneven about the whole topic.

I would like you to know that I am going to no longer do business with you due to the fact that you think it is okay to fool you customers and steal money from them. then when I spoke to a representative of your company and told him that my account was never in a negative balance he stated " Mr. McGillen you are looking at it wrong." well I will be looking at it from another fucking bank now!

[23 Nov 2009|03:06pm] |
My Logic class is an absolute bust! FIRST i have a prof who is fucking strange. He is old as hell and says really strange stuff. He is for sure starting a cover band with some girl in class, they talk about it all the damn time! He came in last week and stated " Things in the office have become quite stressful i need a break. This class will now be a workshop" a workshop? What the hell is that. I didn't pay for a work shop! holy shit! SECOND I have been in this class every class and I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK LOGIC IS!!!!! BUSTED!

weezer (raditude) |
] |
It is no secret that I am a HUGE Weezer fan. I have really enjoyed a lot of the unpopular weezer albums. I know Weezer won't ever make a blue album again or a pinkerton. I came to the realization when the green album came out. Today weezer has released their 7th studio album. I am listening to in now so I am going to review it!!
The seventh Weezer album "Raditude" came out day and starts out very strong with track 1 (If your wondering if I want you to) I want you to. This tunes is a great track 1 single. Track 2 "i am your daddy" is not a bad track, It didn't excite me the way that the first track did. Track 3 "the girl got hot" starts out and sounds very similar to gone fishin. This track is a very lame story of how a girl...well, got hot. Track 4 "can't stop partying" could be a great daft punk tune. This track has auto tuning and has a rap part by lil Wayne on it and he says fuck. I don't know if weezer has ever said fuck on an album. track 5 "put me back together" This is a decent weezer tune. Classic rivers lyrics. Maybe the 2nd best track on the disc. Track 6 "tripping down the freeway" is the most "classic Weezer" sound on the album. Track 7 "love is the answer" begins with sitar and Indian Drum beats.....them some girl named Amrita sen sings the chorus using auto tuning(i hated this track.) Track 8 "let it all hang out" Good weezer tune. I really like this song, it has really goo guitar work. Track 9 "In the mall" This isn't a bad tune either, this track comes to us from drummer/guitar Patrick Wilson I have nothing against this song. Track 10 " I don't want to let you go" Okay Rivers we all know your a dad now! The final track of Raditude "turn me around" is a solid tune. I like the production work on this song it is kinda raw.
This record gets a solid C

I like twitter. I use it very often, if you also like twitter please follow me
www.twitter.com/drevincore
I am sure people would comment if anyone read livejournal anymore saying "twitter is fucking lame" i thought the same thing now i am into it biggggg tiimmmme.
I don't write in here enough, i do like going back and reading my old livejournal entries. I like reading what a pole I used to be...and I guess I still am.
I often wonder what will be next, what will top twitter. It seems to me now that myspace is pretty much dead. Facebook is going really strong; it is a matter of time before that dies as well. I also seem to go back to livejournal always. it is pretty consistant.

See this picture? YOU PUT A BANDAGE ON A CUT!!!!!!!
I know I know there is world hunger and I think it is terrible, but you can't do shit by painting a picture of the earth with a bandage on it. That image does nothing. If it does anything at all it makes people thing the world is "getting better." or just has "boo boo" is that even how you spell that? I don't really have any idea why I am writing this or went through the time to post the picture.
alright, here is what set me off. I was walking into a doctors office today, and I had to ride the elevator. My only hope all day was that I wouldn't die and that I could ride that elevator alone both ways up and down. I would have even been happy to allow an old couple to ride up alone with each other just to get in that elevator myself. To my luck and surprise I walked into an empty elevator with no one on it. I let out a huge sigh of relief!! Just as I hit my floor button and leaned up against the wall and realized life couldn't be any better, A female with a fucking stroller and kid ran up and said HOLD IT PLEASE! I quickly pushed the door open button and let them on MY elevator. I know for a fact that I would be an asshole if I hit the close door button (don't think for a second it didn't cross my mind), I know for a fact that I couldn't do that. The whole moral of the story is I will never get what I want. EVER!!!! Is it such a big fucking deal to just want to ride the fucking elevator alone? This is one of the many reasons the world will never be healed.
I took the stairs when I left.
Love, Kaykes

Well here i am, the late night Dj at WORK. I play black sabbath and i answer the phones and stuff. I have big news which is my reason for making this post. I am dating a girl who really has her shit figured out. I have been going to school the same amount of time she has, shy 1 year. she has a degree in psychology(BA), mortuary science(BA), and is thinking of going to grad school to be a grief counselor. I have been going to MCC for so long, it is time to get my shit together. When i got out of high school my plans were to get my pre studies done at MCC and go to mortuary school, but i cocked off and got drunk instead of going to class ETC. Then i decided that I don't think i want to be a mortician anymore. so i started taking random classes for no reason and would eventually end up with an associates. Well i realized just recently that I have been in school forever (8 years) and i still dont have an associates or anything. Well live journal readers if there are any, i have declared a major. I am going to Oakland University to obtain a BA in Human Resource Development; for those who don't know what that is I will be Toby from "The Office." It seems like a good field for me to get into. people are looking for HR reps and directors hardcore right now. Starting salary is almost $85,000.00 a year. I have no plans of getting a boat, i just want to get done with school. If ya support it support it! If ya don't let me know. PEACE LOVE DOPE!

Like my older brother Tubbs stated in his blog don't much care for reality television. I will admit that I do enjoy a good episode or two of " I am a celebrity get me out of here" i like this because when i went to to look up who the celebrities are on this program and Googles response was "ask yahoo". Yahoo"s response was "fuck if i Know" I still enjoy the television show from time to time. I must also state although I doubt anyone even reads my livejournal anymore, looking back on past entries I don't blame you. back to the Jon and Kate thing. I must state that I have never seen an episode of Jon and Kate plus 8 but I know what is going on. I have been lucky enough to have thumbed through a people magazine here and there at different places. I know for sure one thing Jon and Kate are getting and that is ratings. I think my issue and what is on the mind of everyone else is their children. These kids are looking for years of fuckupering. There are the two twins okay; and there lives are doing well then Jon plants his seed in Kate and things go nuts she spawns 6 children at once! So now there lives are completely fucked and will never be the same. I predict that the six children have to feel somewhat responsible. The twins will one day say something like " EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL YOU SIX FUCKS CAME ALONG" I wouldn't blame them for saying that i can't it is true. That is not to say that it is their fault, it isn't. Things were different before the six kids were born though. Now a question I need answered Did Jon cheat on his wife? and, Are they getting a divorce? I will find out this information soon enough I am sure just by walking into my local CVS I am sure people magazine will have the answer to my questions placed very conveniently on the front cover.

I am back. It has been a very long time since my last post. I am returning to LJ because of a man by the name of Paul Sewick. I find myself very excited to read Paul's journal. His writings make me laugh, they also make me think about things, for this Paul I thank you.
I will not be discussing the past here, but what is happening in my life now.
Today was a dreaded Saturday, Which means it is a saturday on the weekend in which I work. I have a schedule which alternates weekends so 12 days on 2 off. I don't like my job, It isn't that I don't like what I do or the position I have, but it is the fact that i have to leave my bed in the morning. It also isn't that I like to sleep in or anything. I am awake long before i have to go to work, I just really hate leaving my bed. I think I would like to have a job where i could work from bed. I really like what I do i think i would be just as unhappy if I had the best job ever like playing with little baby pandas or something. That job would suck because I would have to leave the bed.
Beside having to leave the bed today has been okay. I ate at my favorite deli for lunch, that was rad.
I have a racquetball game today I am pretty stoked about that.
I am working tonight selling merch for a band called lightning love. You should come see them, they are wonderful.
LIGHTNING LOVE: THE BELMONT 9PM
HAMTRAMCK
you should come
K, bye

Stooges Guitarist Ron Ashton Passes Away
Guitarist Ron Ashton has passed away from an apparent heart attack at his home. He was 60 years old.
Born in Michigan in 1948, Ron and his brother Scott, had been interested in the rock and roll rhythms of the motor city. The two youngsters decided to start a band called the Prime Movers, which would later become the infamous and legendary Stooges. Although many press clippings deify their frontman Iggy Pop, Ashton’s guitar playing was equally important. His frantic, aggressive and groove laden approach to the instrument was the background of the band’s trademark sound. On top of playing a mean guitar, Ashton shares writing credit on some of the Stooges finest work: “1969″, “Down on the Street”, “TV Eye”, “Dirt” and many others.
Ashton also played a key role as meditator in a lot of Stooge related affairs. Since he wasn’t addicted to heroin, he very often had to clean up the messes of his fellow band mates including dragging them home, driving them around and making sure they had enough to eat. He also played a key role in attempting to keep the band active upon their move out to California.
In 1971, the line up of the band changed seeing Ashton being joined on guitar by James Williamson. This highly electric era of the band sadly didn’t last long as the Stooges would break up soon after. When the group reformed months later (after attempts by David Bowie to replace them with British musicians), Ron was moved over to the bass. Although seemingly a demotion, Ashton’s bass playing was a major reason behind the success of their third album, the classic Raw Power. After the release of the album The Stooges broke up yet again.
Ron continued to play in several bands most of which were based out of Detroit: The New Order (with ex-Stooges Scott Thurston, Jimmy Recca and ex-MC5 skinsman Dennis Thompson) Destroy All Monsters (with several Detroit punkers include the MC5’s Michael Davis), New Race (a short-lived super-group including members of The Stooges and Radio Birdman) and many others.
He also tried his hand at acting and appeared in a couple of films including cult favorite Velvet Goldmine In the movie, Ashton appears as part of a band with Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Mark Arm and many others.
When The Stooges suddenly reformed in 2000, Ron Ashton and every original member (aside from Dave Alexander who died in 1975) rejoined. The bass slot was taken up by a rabid fan and old friend Mike Watt. The band played several intense live shows, showing the world that the “mad men from Detroit” hadn’t lost a step in thirty years. On the strength of these shows The Stooges recorded their first album in a long long time, The Weirdness. The record was released to mostly postive reviews and put the band back where they belonged - in front of their rabid, screaming fans.
As of 2009, The Stooges have been nominated induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Whether they get it or not, The Stooges place is already cemented in the history of music Ron Ashton, which every Stooge will tell you, was a huge part of that success. His attitude, playing, tenciousness, and drive help make the band what they are today- legends. So I tip my hat to Ron and send my condolescenses to his family.
