Run To The Hills

I had to .....HAD TO buy this album, they released it in 2006, and it is fucking awesome!



its good to know that after all these years, dickinson and the boys still have it!

Yes, they sound just as they did back in the day, which is not a bad thing by any means. Too many bands I think get too caught up in trying to change with the times just to stay viable, when in reality, if you look at bands like AC/DC, you can have a career without changing too much.

Another issue I see in music, is bands' second albums being horrible. Yes, alot of times their first album is probably just way too amazing to top with another release (A La Boston's first Album), but I think most of it is alot of pressure to try and ante up and make the people say yeaaaaaah a second time.

Ah well.

Yes this one is short, whatever.

I Went Down Down Down in a Burning Ring of Fire....

Yesterday was a bit of a driving day, as I traveled in my Beetle most of the day.

During these travels, I got to thinking.....

......Man we are gonna get laughed at.

What do I mean?

Well.....

Think about it. When they put the first decades of the 2000s (2000 to 2010 for the morons) into the history books for future generations, what are going to be the major events they see?

-The first African American President was elected (ok that one is a good one!)
-GM and Chrysler falling the fuck on their faces into Chapter 11..
-A horrid recession
-The bullshit "war" in Iraq
-9/11
-That idiot Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich
-George W. Bush and Dick Cheney

.......and if my memory was in better shape the list would go on. Feel free to add more in the comments!!!

But yea, hopefully the next couple decades or so go better, otherwise my kids/grand kids will be like "Wow grandpa RedEvil, you guys were fucked for awhile huh? Thanks for fucking us big time with the repercussions!" lol

Think about it, alot of this shit going on today our kids and grandkids are going to have to foot the bill for.....

.....Now i'm definitely not leaving my cars to them because they'll have to sell them to pay off our debt to China.

Come to think of it, does anyone else find it humorous that we are in debt to a country that makes knockoffs of all our products??

Till Next Time Folks...

Ok I'm a bit late on this one....

Alright so I know it's been a bit since the abortion known as American Idol has ended, but I feel the need to comment on it.

Why? I am sick of listening to people continue to bitch about the outcome.

GUESS WHAT, YOUR VOTE DOESN'T FUCKING COUNT.

How so?

Well yes, you do vote, and they do tally it up, but really, does it matter who wins? Most of the winners don't actually go on to do anything.....so what's the point?

First off, most of the people who come across that stage....suck. And the ones that do sound good sound like every other pop motherfucker we have on the radio now....so why do we need more?

Let's go over a few contestants here.....

Kelly Clarkson is actually talented. Yes I said it. I would also destroy her in bed, but that has to do more with her "other" oral talents.....

Daughtry? Didn't even win it. Bah. He's only still listened to because he sounds like the result of a drunken night of sex between Nickelback and Creed, and no one will admit to the baby.

Jordin Sparks? Medocre at best. Although I liked her for that song "No Air" with Chris Brown, because after the whole Chris beating up Rhianna thing came out, that shit had new hilarious meaning.

I'm not condoning what he did, but that song just became insanely ironic given the circumstances.

Carrie Underwood. Ok you and I both know that the Before He Cheats song was actually pretty good. Other than that....eh she makes a good sketchers model and that's about it.

Taylor Hicks. Ok all you motherfuckers knew he wouldn't be shit after AI. I mean cmon, there is NOTHING about him that is marketable to anyone other than people who still buy Buicks.

Now some of you are probably going "But RedEvil, if you hate AI so much, how do you know all the names?"....RESEARCH BITCHES.

I figure since everyone is bitching about it still, and I'm going to ramble pointlessly about it, I might as well have my poop in a group.

Also, the last dude to win it hasn't done SHIT since the show, and his album tanked when it came out. KTHXBAI.

Summary?

IT doesn't matter who wins, because 90% will fall back into mediocrity with the rest of us. Except Clay Aiken. But that's because everyone knew he was gay except for him.


See you next time folks....

Torch the Fields, and Pray for Rain

Ah when it rains it pours doesn't it?

I find it rather amusing when people think that they are somewhat better than everyone else because they have a college degree. I mean don't get me wrong, props to them for doing the "right thing" and going through the rigors of college (and the parties of college life), but I fail to see how that can make someone better than someone else.

Example?

I'm a mechanic by trade, and while I dropped out of college whilst pursuing my degree in english, I don't see myself as any less of a user of the english language, and nor do I see myself as great for being a mechanic....

....so it fucking grinds my gears (yes that's a family guy reference) when I diagnose a car's problems, and the owner of the vehicle says, "well my son went to (insert auto school here), and he says that there is no way that can be the problem.

Oh? Then why the fuck isn't he working on it?

And then comes the obvious "well I'm sure when you went to school to fix cars you mast have learned the right way and wrong way to diagnose these things"....

I love the look on their stuck up faces when I calmly say "I studied english in college, and only became a mechanic because I'm too broke to pay someone else to fix my cars".

I dunno, maybe I'm nitpicking here, but if you bring your car to me to be fixed, do you or don't you want me to fix it? Or did you just bring it here so me and your son can compare notes and talk cars?

The best is when they ask me to look at the car, tell me I'm wrong, and then they come back a week later saying their son found that the issue was what I said it was in the first place, and that he doesn't even have the right tools to fix the issue (for things such as rear wheel bearings).

I mean I don't go into ice cream places asking for a sundae, and then tell them they're doing it wrong because my brother (100% serious here) graduated from a culinary college and that's not the way he would make it, now do I?????

Although, the only people I think we need to tell they're doing it wrong are the politicians. But we all knew that ;)

Till next time folks!

ps. I've been at work from 7am and I'll be here until 7pm. I'm so bored that not only am I updating this, but I've been hiding in the back seat of cars that on of the other techs have been working on and jumping out at them when they get in the front seat. Yeah, I'm an ass like that, BUT IT'S SO FUN!!!


LET'S PUT A SMILE ON THAT FACE!!!!

RIP Heath Ledger :(
