curbdrop out of grace

i'm listening to the last mohicans soundtrack now. we played a bunch of these songs back in my highschool orchestra, before i found satan.

and we were pretty good. i sucked, but as a whole, we were pretty good.

i played the viola. here's the quick run-down of why.

in 4th grade when we were testing instruments to see what we wanted to play, i wanted to play the trombone, but the instructor was like, no you're too small and your arms aren't long enough. so get a new set of dreams.

and so i wanted to play the drums, but my parents were against that because of the cost and the noise (years later, they would buy my brother a $2000 drum set and buy me nothing).

and so then my mom suggested i play the violin, because she and all her asian friends have some conspiracy to own the monopoly on asian violinists. look out, they've cornered the market!

but my mom had even wilder dreams. "phil," she said, "you need to play the viola. because when you're applying to colleges for scholorships, there'll be a lot less people competing with you to play the viola because it's less popular. you'll have a better chance."

first off, why do you think the viola is not as popular? it's because the parts we play suck. second, thanks for having confidence in me to not be as good as other asians. damn fuckers.

oh and that reminds me of this recent time when i bought my mom the definite collection of louis armstrong, for x-mas (i am a hypocrite, see below postings). and so we were listening to it one nite that i actually spent with the family (i dedicate about 3 such nites a year, i know i'm generous), and so my families just sitting around playing board games. and my brother, who's super into music, says, "what is this crap?"

what is this crap? it's louis man. now i'm not saying he's my favorite musician, but pay some respect. you don't have to dig him to dig him, you know?

and i'm also thinking, if one has young ones around in the house and tries to give up cussing, does one also give up cussing when typing in friendly emails and the like? i would imagine one could give up verbal cussing and still hold on to written cussing until the little bastard learns to read.

"daddy, what does 'f u c k' mean?"
"well sugar booger, it means a number of things, like penitration, of any sort. or it could mean an expression of anger, on a grand level."

i like this song a lot. (dl) the kiss, by trevor jones. i always meant to put this song on a cd for missy. i wonder if she minds that i just wrote that. oh well!

oh and google has changed all their algorithms again. what does this mean? this means their natural search results are "better". try it. type in "cunt rag". i bet it brings up a picture of you. it might still only be on the second page though.
