Well…. I watched Clerks 2 the other day (via tpb since I missed it at the cinema) it was laugh out loud funny at points (esp the trolls), but it was what most people would think of as vulgar and disgusting.

I also got an email today once again informing me that I’m not good enough to operate a cash register. Now, I might never of operated one before but it can’t be that complicated can it? I’m sure something in my useless arts degree has a comparable skill level…. oh well, I have picked up another class to teach for the rest of the semester (Tues 2-4) and when semester is over I should be able to get myself some of that sweet welfare goodness.

Well…. I noticed today that my dragons jersey looked more loose fitting than I remember it being. So I jumped on the local scales, and it seems that I’ve lost 10kgs since I last weighed myself (which was probably this time last year).

This is good, since being fitter opens up a few extra job options.

lost in a sea of combat boots,
flush the bouncers with wasted youth
when did punk rock become so safe,
when did the scene become a joke
the kids who used to live for beer and speed
now want their fries and coke
cursing and flipping birds are not allowed,
in fact let’s keep noise levels down

Must separate the church and skate

why don’t we put pads on the kids,
helmets, head gear and mouth pieces
Then we could pad the floor and walls,
put cameras inside bathroom stalls
We make sure only nice bands play,
make every show a matinee
Teach kids to be all they can be,
and we could sing my country tis of thee
sweet land of liberty

when did punk rock become so safe
i know it wasnt Duane or Fletcher,
who put up the barricades
Like a stake in the heart,
somehow we got driven apart

i want conflict i want dissent,
i want the scene to represent
our hatred of authority,
our fight against complacency
stop singing songs about girls and love,
you killed the owl you freed the dove
confrontation and politics
replaced with harmonies and sticks
when did punk rock become so tame,
these f**king bands all sound the same
We want our fights we want our thugs,
we want our burns we want our drugs
where is the violent apathy,
these f**king records are rated G

When did punk rock become so safe

Now that I’ve got your attention, I obviously meant that Virgin Music didn’t call me back. Which of course is interesting, because the job basically entails work that a well trained monkey or robot could perform. Which is like a lot of jobs I’ve applied for and have failed to obtain. It almost makes me want to pull a “wally” and get some stupid IT job and not actually do any work at all, and just walk around with a coffee mug in my hands.

Its that or just remove my uni degree from my resume…. to see if that is the problem.

Got a new helmet today, which involved trying on everything that wasn’t superexpensive or plastic, and then getting the shiny one that fit nice.

Looked at a whole bunch of bikes as well…. Definately found a couple of potential “next bike”s

Got a job interview tomorrow with Virgin Music…. could be good.

Thats the “damage bill” on the bike. Yay, 1/4 the cost price in repairs. Luckily the insurance company should make it all but go away.
