one more day til back to school. gotta read my articles before this afternoon starts. joe’s supposed to call and let me know what’s going on today when he gets out of work.

went out with eric last night. lol we have such exciting lives. we went to target, walmart, drove around a lil bit, then to denny’s for a while, then to the 24 hr walmart which is not actually 24 hours anymore πŸ™ now what are we gonna do?!?!?!? i guess that means 24 Tops is the only thing left….

finished interview last night when i got home. the ending was entirely different from the movie. and the book made alot more sense with the whole death of claudia thing. in the movie i was really confused about what the hell was going on. but the book it’s a bit different, and it makes more sense. so it’s all good.

oh and i don’t like the fact that there are actually movies i want to see now. i want to see panic room, and so i guess me and danielle are gonna go see that when we get back to school sometime. then at the movie yesterday we saw a preview for “murder by number” that is way better than the tv commercial. AND tommy gnosis is in it!!! soooo have to see that now. i don’t like spending money on movies! too expensive!!

yay for digital cable. boo for the fact that everytime i turn on mtv2 it’s hiphop and r&b hour. and we are currently getting all the premium movie channels we’re not supposed to get. i was flipping through the channels last night, and i’m like what the hell channel is this? it was like American West or something…and then i don’t get how it’s like blahblahblahWEST and blahblahblahEAST channel…like um? wtf does that mean….and of course flipping through the channels at 11:30pm isn’t a good idea, cuz then u get porn. i didn’t believe danielle about how bad it was, but yeah…porn. and we dont even get that playboy channel lol. legends of the fall was on and i was gonna stay up and watch it, since i’ve been reading interview, and all i can think about is long hair brad pitt…but i just went to bed. that movie is way long.

so i should get dressed and read my articles for my paper before joe calls after work. that gives me…um…3 hrs to read my articles (yeah that’s gonna happen, i also have to finish Interview before i go back to school, and of course that’s way more important hehe)

 

o.m.g….Death To Smoochy…. so completely insane and SO COMPLETELY GREAT!!! omg it was so hilarious. the commericals do it no justice…and all the scenes from the movie in the commercials come in like the first 20 minutes of the movie. omg Robin Williams is insane, and so goddamn funny…and ed norton… god i love him. the best line of the whole movie is near the end, robin williams. SO FUNNY. i won’t say what it was, cuz i don’t wanna ruin it for carolyn. but this movie is so great. will need to own on dvd. it’s completely nuts. i’d see it again. definitely. oh and carolyn…Smoochy is a nazi lol.

then watched most of forrest gump on cinemax 2 when i got home. i forgot what a great movie that was. omg i’m freezing.

but anyway. i was watching mtv before and there was a news thing on the whole R Kelly sex scandal thing…and ppl are like, he still makes good music, so regardless of what he’s done, i’ll still buy his records etc etc… and i’m sorry, but how is having sex with a 13 year old girl any different then MJ being accused of child molesting… cuz R Kelly having sex with minors IS STILL CHILD MOLESTING. it’s the exact same thing. but of course no one is treating R Kelly like how everyone treated MJ….everyone’s saying “oooh R Kelly…innocent until proven guilty” WHEN THEY HAVE HIM FUCKING HER ON A VIDEO TAPE (cuz that was a brilliant move on his part)….but MJ… he’s guilty forever more, even tho there is so much evidence that the whole thing was a scam. forget. not talking about this. it just pisses me off.

eric will be home tonight, so prolly end up doing something later. i need to do my homework. not gonna get done, cuz spending most of the day tomorrow at joe’s watching the sabres game and hanging out, and going midnight bowling. i guess i’ll do it sunday hehe.

yay for people giving me gifts. first off, david is wonderful. he’s giving danielle the extra apolo pics from rolling stone for me. she was like, sara gets RS, and david is like yeah i KNOW but the pics are back to back so she’ll need an extra copy… LOL isn’t that nice? and then he got a Homie for me (which i ended up getting the same one at tops last night). and then adr taped my favourite 90210 episode for me…yay.

now if i could only get carolyn’s trent tape…it’s only been 3 weeks now. i guess they’re not sorting mail over break so it might be sitting in the mail room.

so last night was interesting. randomly invited kurt up to meet at denny’s. he came up with his friend joe (too many joe’s out there), and i met them there with danielle and adr. it was cool. sat there for like 3 hours taking, and had food of course. good times.

of course the night i actually stay out, and don’t get home til 1:30 i gotta get up early to buy tea party tickets. so i did that. not sure what tix i got… i got 3 for me danielle and adr, that were like orchestra section 1 row h…and then i got 6 for joe (different joe, joe from tonawanda) and his friends that were like orchestra section 2 row c or something…so hopefully they are good tix, so joe won’t murder me.

tonight is sabres game at some bar with joe and jon, and adrienne and danielle if she decides to go. and tomorrow totally going to see Smoochy. making adr go with me haha. she said it looks stupid and i’m like it looks great!

and i started my new medicine, and i’m not sure if it was supposed to work right away, but my head didn’t hurt at all yesterday til we were at denny’s at like midnight, when it probably had worn off….so we’ll see how it goes today. i’m not dead so that’s good πŸ™‚

 

i’m sorry. i apologize in advance for this post.

trennnntttt!!!! omg i watched the “becoming” still video just now for the first time in a while, downloading it to see if i can convert it…oomggg….Β that’s me right now. huge smile on my face. it’s involuntary. i just sat here watching and then realized i was grinning. and i realized when exactly that it was i smiled…this one part during the song, and just..was so great. it’s the lips. lol.

and also wanted to say before, reading Interview with the vampire makes me really want to start writing my long dead jayde/evan/raine story again. people who read it said i wrote alot like Anne Rice, which i TOTALLY do not see AT all…the only thing similar between my story and Anne Rice is that both mentioned vampires and part of mine was in new orleans. yeah, that’s SO similar. anyway..yeah so i’ve been thinking about it alot the past few days, and we’ll see…maybe i’ll get inspired. i might start it over again, cut out the whole evan part that wasn’t supposed to be in it to begin with but sorta happened..

 

haha found one of my really old IRC logs from 1997… so funny. i don’t remember this stuff at all. like i’m talking about seeing Ed Wood. I’ve never seen Ed Wood…maybe i saw 5 min or something on tv haha..(my nick was MissTink or Glimmer)

that was fun.

 

just got back from the bar with people. me danielle and adr went with joe to a bar on sheridan to watch the sabres game. jon showed up for awhile, and then rick showed up during 3rd period. drank a bit, had a good time regardless of the sabres sucking. cuz yeah, we sucked. bad. danielle was drunk so she wanted to dance. went out in the parking lot turned my car radio on so she could dance, as i discussed tomorrow with joe. he’s gonna go with me and adr to see Smoochy. and now it’s 11pm and i’m home πŸ™‚ hahaha. totally getting drunk saturday night at bowling. i drank today with my meds and i was fine, so yeah. totally. i already told joe i wasn’t driving anywhere, someones gotta come pick my ass up. lol.

i think i’m gonna go play with our digital cable now. i smell like a bar, blah.

since when do elementary schools have dances? we never had dances…we had skating parties at rainbow rink…we had a sock hop that no one went to in 5th grade. but now they have dances? was driving by my first elementary school, and there was a messages on the front board about the Valentine’s Day Dance….(yes it IS march lol)….do elementary school kids even want to go to a dance? they don’t like the opposite sex. i mean come on, even in middle school boys and girls segregated most of the night…i can’t imagine an elementary school dance. then of course u probably get the few slutty kids who are like, freak dancing, at 10 years old…all the girls look like britney spears, and they’re all shaking their ass…omg…this is a horror movie. must stop thinking about it.

 

since i’ve been home, ive put on mtv 4 times, and every time has been the exact same video. some black girl. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME! and what a great song it is… “oops there goes my shirt over my head… oops there goes my skirt dropping to my feet…” WTF IS THAT?!

that reminds me. i went in to a store in the mall, and there was this song playing…dunno what it was but.. it was the theme song from The Price Is Right… i’m like OMFG I CAN’T BELIEVE SOMEONE MADE A SONG AROUND THE PRICE AS RIGHT SONG!!!!!!

 

went to the neurologist today. they had room for me, woke me up at 9:30. so went there. then had to get blood work done. did that. and he gave me medicine..it’s heart medicine. apparently works on heads…but i still think he’s dumb, cuz i still think i have an aneurism, and one day i’m going to die because he didn’t give me a brain scan.

so since i was down on elmwood, i was gonna go to frisbees. yeah they were closed. or at least it appeared that way. there was a shady looking character standing outside, and all the lights were off inside. so i just kept driving. then went to the mall. tried on 3 things at hot topic. the dickies dress, another dress that was just like it except it wasn’t dickies brand and it had big giant saftey pins on it, and this other skirt that had these clip things on it. dunno how to explain that one. well the skirt was really rad, except id need a large and they didn’t have one. oooh and they had the first skirt i wanted, that i tried on in rochester, and they had it in the right color…but not in my size. but anyway…the 2 dresses were really cute. but yeah. they are really short. and i’m so not used to wearing short things. so i didn’t buy it. gonna think about it still….tried on a dress just like those 2, but different material, at express. it was longer than the hot topic ones, so maybe i’ll buy that one. but arg… everything is super short. so anything i buy is gonna be weird. and my mom’s all like, you’re going to look like a slut… and i’m like, um, yeah that’s sorta the point.

so now i guess i’m gonna go find something to do, read or something. cuz it’s super cold down here.

well i’m shocked. i got email from the sleep lab. they want me to give them names of references to contact because they were impressed by my experience…and i still gotta email the head director guy…must do that tomorrow. yes.

 

must see death to smoochy…. so love ed norton. but for some reason, in clips from the movie, i still cant see him as anyone other than “jack” in fightclub. really wanna go rent american history x now tho.

heather sent me some pics from yesterday. the one i look horrible in, it’s me and ty sitting on a bench in eaton center. this girl was about to walk right into the picture (u can see her coat in it) so i was cringing and so i look all dumb.

but now, got my haircut, look horrible. πŸ˜›

 

we’re getting digital cable! or at least my dad has to call adelphia because he wants to get digital cable, but needs to find out about splitting it to the other tvs in the house.. or something. but when he said it i was like OOH! he’s like WOAH WHAT i’m like MTV2 AND VH1 CLASSIC! hahah

 

snl rerun….waynes world…best and worst of summer 91 hahahah…omg so funny.

so yesterday was the big toronto excursion to meet ty for the first time. i thought it was gonna be really weird meeting him, but it wasn’t. lol it was alot less weird cuz heather was there and i already know her. so it was like, i knew him forever. so it was cool. we took the Go train to toronto, and went to skydome. had lunch at hard rock cafe cuz ty had never been to one before. then went to the CN tower. the whole glass floor etc. i thought the entire observation thing was the glass floor, but it’s really just like 1/8th of it is glass LOL. but it’s cool, very weird. so we did the CN tower thing, and the skypod thing. it was cool. took some pics that will turn out bad i’m sure lol. the outdoor part of the observation level is all fenced/wired off so you can’t jump off it, but that means you can’t send postcards flying off of it either :(…so no chucky p moment for me. so after cn tower we were going to go to the eaton center. well since none of us knew where we were going, we got off the subway at bloor…then walked all the way back down yonge (4 subway stops or something) to the eaton center LOL. yeah we’re retards. feet hurt so bad. so we went around eaton center for a bit, then back to the Go train to oakville. got dinner at the golden griddle or something, and we were THE only people there. it was bizzare haha. so headed back home after that. i don’t know what my problem is, but i cannot drive slow in canada. i was going 85/90 the entire time.

omg this is one of the best snl’s ever. the gay beer commercial HAHAHAHA schmitts gay hahaha.

ok so joe called me when i was driving home to see where i was, to know if i was gonna go to his house to watch Fear. so him and nick waited for me to get there to watch it. yes that’s right A NEW SEASON OF MTVs FEAR!!!!! omg it was so great. at first we were like, these ppl are wimps..the first guy didn’t want to do his dare, which was push down this big cross inside the church to allow the whatever spirit to come in…it was in mexico. so it’s some big aztec legend thing about this spirit of nature that haunted this silver mine, and all this stuff….so we were like god, these ppl are so stupid. but then the 2nd dare they had to go to the hospital across the river, and there was all kinds of creepy shit going on. like the people were FREAKING out. so 2 girls quit, then 2 guys went and did it and the 1 guy quit…sent out a new guy to join the one still out there and while they were out there, the power went out in the safe house. so the navigator girl was alone in the dark in the safe house with all these banging noises around her, the 2 guys were out by the hospital all alone. finally the power went back on and they managed to finish the dare. but they were so freaked out. then when they were supposed to go to bed it got super cold, and the walls were like, glowing or something…it was freaky ass shit. all 6 people ended up quitting… the first time ever on the show. so next week they send a new team into the mine to do it…MUST WATCH!! sunday night TV is back hehehe

went to my neighbors funeral today. they didn’t talk about the superiority of christianity so it was ok. normal funeral except they had a girl minister.

 

TOTALLY FORGOT TO MENTION…heather, ty and I walked onto a movie set yesterday LOL… they were filiming some movie in union station. we happened to walk by as they were about to film the scene. didn’t see any actors that we knew…i think it was just some filler scene. it had some people walking up the stairs, and 1 woman walking up the stairs carrying a suitcase…and then a guy coming down the stairs…blah. but we couldn’t see what the movie was called… new york something… or something new york…yeah. haha it was rad.

 

 

 

and oh yeah. went to barnes and noble today to waste my gift certificates. bought interview with a vampire (book) and deadeye dick by kurt vonnegut… use my GCs and they gave me the difference back (a whole 4$) but that was good cuz now i don’t have to worry about that anymore.

and i told my mom i wanted to go to galleria to buy the dress at hot topic. i told her i could show her a picture online. so i go find it. yeah hottopic.com changed the picture, so now the dress looks all slutty. so she’s all like ehhh i dunnooo…if it’s really short dont buy it cuz ur tall and then u’ll just look like a slut (well that was kinda the point of me buying a short dress :P) but whatever. gonna try it on and if it’s cute it’s being purchased.

 

went to dinner with my parents and their friend don tonight. cost 200$…it was a thank you to don for him mentioning the job my dad got to him back in january. and of course, we have hot waiters and restaurant staff when I LOOK LIKE SHIT! my hair is so damn long. arg.

anyway. i think don thinks i’m gay now. thanks to my mom. he was talking about an article in the paper about the gay bathhouse in buffalo, and my mom says to me “oh you should know about that” and i’m like ?!?!?! why the hell would i know about a gay bathhouse?…and she’s like, well you have gay friends. i’m like yeah but i haven’t talked to them in years. so whatever. i think she realized what she said and tried to cover herself but whatever.

but don was good for something, besides thinking i’m gay. he let us in on a little secret.. ok not a secret. but he mentioned this bar near the arena downtown, that he goes to after sabres games, and sabres players often go there. and it’s NOT pearl street… it’s called Cobblestones. It’s apparently a real dive, made to look like prohibition era speak easy or something. it’s like, behind the arena on the cobblestone street. he said last time Tim Conolly was there, and he made a face (cuz Tim is underage)…so i mentioned going to pearl street and seeing underage sabres drinking there…oh i probably shouldn’t put this on a public blog, since i could get the bar in trouble. oh well.

so tomorrow i’m off to burlington/toronto to hang with heather and meet ty finally. hopefully i won’t ge tlost trying to find the hotel. since NO ONE EVER GIVES ME RIGHT DRIVING DIRECTIONS! arg. lol

well…i’m home. it’s freezing down here. so i’m gonna make this short
1. most likely not going to get the job. everything went really well i thought…but the director went onto tell me that what he’s looking for is a “pro”…someone who’s apparently does research for a living (which i can’t imagine considering it’s barely a living wage)…someone who is a pro…someone who’s going to stick around for 5-10 years doing this work…he’s tired of the turnover rate of every 2 years getting new undergrad kids…or something. and he said there are 2 pros who are first in line for the job, and they look real good….so the big question is… why did they advertise to undergrad schools recruiting for the tech spots? he said if i really want to work there, to keep following up and bugging him… there are always part time spots, and volunteers depending on the grants that go through etc. but hello?! i need to find a job that is going to pay me. so i dunno what i’m going to do. i’m supposed to email him and tell him why i’m great. so…i’ll do that, and keep bugging him and see what happens. time for plan b… anyone wanna tell me what plan b is?
oh, and the sleep lab… TOTALLY NOT WHAT I EXPECTED… i was thinking control room, 1 way mirror or a glass window… hospital type bed they get hooked up to. NOT! it’s called a “sleep suite”…and it’s nicer than my house. there’s a kitchen, glass topped eating table, leather furniture, tv, vcr, 2 bedrooms with queen beds, nice fluffy pillows, 300ct sheets (yes they pointed this out to me, cuz i almost know what that means)….yeah. it’s super.
blah, i want that job. i guess the bright side is i won’t have to be working nights wherever i end up finding a job.
2. i wish, just once, someone would give me correct driving directions. it’s a really good thing that my class got out at 2 instead of 2:30… left at quarter after, headed up to rochester. followed his exact directions…had me turn right off the East Henrietta exit….WRONG…i ended up in Rush… which is like a 15 min BACKTRACK…so had to turn around. ended up being 5 or so minutes late. and besides that, i could have gone on to the west henrietta exit, instead of the east, and been like RIGHT THERE! but whatever…
3. my dad reads my blog regularly. that’s not happy lol.
4. oooh myyyy goddd…. new rolling stone magazine with Shakira on the cover… FOUR PAGE PHOTO SPREAD OF APOLO!!!!! and i’m talking SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!!!! omg. totally scanning these….must turn on other comp to scan. sooooooo cute. of course back to back photos blah.

 

ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

the ONE day that my housemates dont have to get up early in the morning, which means the ONE DAY they won’t wake me up, what time was i awake at?? 6 FUCKING 30!!!!!! and why was i up at 6fucking30? because of the lovely mr snow plow man scraping the pavement unbelivably horrendously loud. and then mr snow plow man decided to stop and let it run in front of our house. then go again after a few mintues. so i laid there… at 6:30 when i don’t to get up for another 2 hrs. no problem i’ll just go back to sleep, i go back to sleep more or less every day when housemates wake me up… did i get back to sleep OF FUCKING COURSE NOT!!!!!! so i spend 2 hours laying in bed thinking about how the weather must be really shitty, and the roads are gonna be horrible for when i have to drive to the hospital for my interview, and how i should probably call the guy when i leave if it’s real bad to let him know i’ll be late etc.

so i hear danielle’s alarm go off at 7:30 and i haven’t fallen back asleep. then one of the wonderful geneseo brush snow plows goes by a few times.. so i’m thinking wow, more snow plows, it must really be shitty.

so i look out the window. AND THERE IS NO FUCKING SNOW!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN SEE BARE PAVEMENT… YOU CAN SEE GRASS!!!!!! there isn’t even an inch of snow… there isn’t even half a fucking inch of snow!!!!!!!! THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO NEED FOR ANYONE TO BE PLOWING ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE IS NO SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a bit of salt may have been a good idea… BUT EVEN IF THE FIRST PLOW SALTED, THE BRUSH PLOW HAS NOW BRUSHED ALL THE SALT AWAY!

i’m going to kill someone.

gah dream come true!!! after seeing queen of the damned i had mentioned to danielle that it would be cool if when they release it on DVD if they put Lestat’s music videos on it…since obviously they actually made music videos cuz they show them in the movie… and turns out they’re on the net!!! omg so great!!!!!!! the way that stuart/lestat acts in them, and things he does with the microphone, he looks like Trevor from EC…when i finally manage to download them all (is taking forever) gonna make pics of the trevor-esque parts. and stuart has short hair in the videos, they were recorded before the movie, before they decided how long lestat’s hair should be, so it makes him REALLY look like trevor. and gah they are just so good! yay. aaaaaaand they’re the jon davis versions of the songs, since they’re from the movie…super!!….AND i realized whatever version of quicktime i have, it let’s me go frame by frame using the arrow buttons, which i ADORE, cuz i can never pause it right…lol.

*is predicting a new delirious design…poor trent*

 

another music theory….

“the rise of rap rock” by sara

there is a very good reason why rap-rock became so huge a few years ago with the rise of limp bizkit and all the knockoffs. part is due to MTV of course…but MTV was only responding to the people watching the channel.
the big reason is that my generation…born in the late 70s/early 80s really responded to the music. why? because this generation came of age in the early 90s…when the big types of music were gangsta rap out of california and grunge out of seattle. we grew up with dr dre and snoop doggy dogg on one hand, and nirvana and pearl jam on the other…
so the rap rock bands…they were just combining the best of both worlds… the rap and the guitars, and created this new genre of music which this generation couldn’t not like, considering what they liked and were brought up on in the early 90s.

voila.

if i die. it’s because i had an aneurysm…my head feels REALLY funny suddenly.. it feels like half my brain (left hemisphere) swelled up. but only along one line. from behind my eyebrow, straight to the back of my head, but curved up a bit as it went back. and my ear hurts. i really need a ct scan or mri or something. must call dr.

 

 

i’m dying again. i guess i only die on mon/wed/fri….sudden bad head pains in middle of poli sci…great. proff made a comment about my shirt (duran duran)… i handed in my quiz (first person done…again…comeon now there are 4 MC questions..how hard is that?) and he laffs and says “i cant believe you have a duran duran shirt”… and then he said something else i completely did not understand. he talks kinda funny sometimes, the way he emphasizes words… so no idea what he said haha oh well.

i swear, if we have a work day in comp art, i’m leaving. i am not sitting there for 2 hrs staring at a comp screen doing nothing. i can do that here :)…no but really. my head hurts too bad to sit there not doing anything if we’re just going to work on our illustrator project. which i finished last class…cuz i need to study for my clinical exam…i didn’t really study last night… i read my notes abunch of times, and read the 3 chapters again. but that’s not really studying. so need to go over some shit. maybe half of comp art will be a lesson and the rest of the time work time, cuz then i’ll leave after the lesson.

i’m dying. chest pains. head pains. i feel like i’m 80.

 

i’ve decided i really like the new korn cd. parts i don’t like. but most of it i do…it’s really different. hard to explain why. they kept saying that it was harder than self titled, etc…which i disagree. it’s harder than issues i think, but…it’s just DIFFERENT… and the melodies on it are really good…i can’t get past how nice the melodies are in some of the songs. it’s weird.

yep “make it go away” definitely best song on this cd.

went to mcds cuz i had a craving for french fries. and now i want donuts. i was gonna go to dunkin but donuts at this time of night are usually stale. and i need to put gas in my car. i could get home on the amt of gas i have, but now that i have to go to rochester first, then to home, will definitely run out of gas. but it’s so expensive. it’s fucking 1.38 all of a sudden. so here’s hoping it’s cheaper in rochester.

 

the thing i love about clinical psych is that i can take common sense guesses and still get the questions right. i was taking the exam thinking, god i don’t know any of this. one question i left blank and went back to answer. ended up just picking the answer that seemed like it made the most sense… and voila it was correct…lol. and i also love that i can completely bullshit on the identifies and get full credit. like the last exam i got 30/30 pts on that part, and totally bullshitted at least 2 of them. one of my answers was only 3 sentences long and i got full credit. lol…so i got 3 MC wrong this time, and i’m assuming i’ll get full credit again on the 2nd part…so yay for me. i could see getting a 4 on the last question, cuz i didn’t say much about “g” factor. oh well.

i put in INXS’s “X” in my stereo last night. i haven’t listened to it in a long long time. i forgot how freaking great it is. so then i was thinking….ppl have compared u2 to inxs on alot of things…and so i came up with my INXS vs U2 theory.
– they were both very popular at the same time. they were both vying for “best band in the world” status in the mid/late 80s.
– they both started around the same time, late 70s.
– they both had their “best” album, critically acclaimed as masterpieces, around the same time… U2’s “joshua tree” and INXS’s “Kick”
– they both had their “2nd best” album around the same time… U2’s “achtung baby” and INXS’s “X”…both follow ups to the “best” album.
– i like both the “2nd best” albums far more than what is considered to be both their best albums.
– they both had live albums and videos around the same time….although U2’s “rattle and hum” was before “Achtung” and INXS’s “live baby live” was after “X”…same general time frame.
– both had a drop in popularity around the same time, arguably when trying to follow up their 2 big successes. “zooropa” wasn’t as widely liked as “achtung” just as “welcome to wherever you are” wasn’t as widely liked as “X” (but i could be wrong about “welcome”…because i can’t remember if that followed “X” or if “full moon dirty hearts” did..but either way, ppl hated “full moon”)
– both attempted a “comeback” of sorts around the same time…mid/late 90s with U2’s “pop” and INXS’s “elegantly wasted” with both not creating as much of a stir as intended.
– bono and michael hutchence both danced really bad white boy dances πŸ™‚
– bono and michael both had really bad mullets
– bono and michael both have children with really long bizarre names hahah
– both had band members with alcohol problems that made the members miss important events in the bands’ careers (adam missed a u2 gig in australia…and i believe it was tim, who missed the “never tear us apart” video shoot in prague…but it might have been some other INXS member)
– both sang about political themes in the beginnings of their careers, but dropped off a bit as they got more popular.
– both of the “best” albums had songs regarding guns and sky’s….U2’s “bullet the blue sky” and INXS’s “guns in the sky”

i think that is all…i might have had others that i thought of last night, but i don’t remember anymore. but yeah…the main thing that strikes me is that I think both band’s follow up albums to their big hits are far better than the hit. it is hard to deny the genius of the first 4 songs on “joshua tree”….they truely are brilliant masterpieces. but to me, the rest of the album leaves alot to be desired. every song on “achtung baby” is brilliant. “love is blindness” is the best u2 song ever. and it’s on “achtung”. “Kick” had super songs…”never tear us apart”, “new sensation”, “need you tonight”…they are really really great songs. But one of the best INXS songs, “The stairs” is on “X”…along with “by my side” and “disappear” etc….As a whole “Achtung baby” and “X” make far more sense, are put together far better, and just in general have more appeal to them than “joshua tree” and “kick”… they sound more modern (especially X compared to Kick), are arguably more experimental (especially “Achtung” compared to “joshua tree”)…and are just better. πŸ™‚

and that’s all i have to say about that.
