"What did you do as a child that got you into the most trouble with your parents? How did they handle it?"
When I was younger, my mother once gave me her wallet and sent me to the store to buy some incidental things for her. I bought the things she wanted and then, with the leftover change, I bought something for me. When I got home, my folks were so mad. They said that using the change without permission was stealing. After that, there was a lot of talking; mainly them talking and me listening. At some points, it even seemed like they were yelling at me. My mother, in particular, seemed upset, but she looked really worried (the way moms tend to when they think their kids are going seriously astray). I don't know how long I sat there and listened while they talked at me, but it felt like a long time. That was the one and only time I've ever stolen anything.

one of my best mate, mr khairul nizam aka the joker, has arrived in dubai today to take up a new job offer.
welcome to sheikhs land bro, so glad that you are here...good luck and all the best!
i love my country. i've been leaving her for two months now. its kinda sad to see the political, economic and social turmoil in Bolehland has reach boiling point
Nothing playing in the theatres in recent weeks can equal the real life, high-stake political drama now playing before our eyes.
A murdered Mongolian woman who stubbornly refuses to fade away, a new sodomy allegation that has shaken the Opposition and probably dashed their dream of ever capturing the Federal Government, a private investigator who, after months of speculation, finally connected a top politician with the murdered Mongolian but retracted it barely 24-hours later, sent shockwaves across the political establishment as never before.
Hold on to your seats for both sides are promising a rematch anytime now (more)
Haven't gone to my cousin's cottage today obviously. Though my sister and dad did go. Well whatever, I have to fix up ArchLinux (again) and write up some more of an article. Also have a ton of reading to do, and some thinking as well.
I need to work on getting to a point with a story heh.
Last night I found out about the band The Hush Sound and they're playing this Friday at the Mod Club, along with some other band. They aren't bad at all and I'm impressed. Ignore the video for them. They're just filler.
I spent the early part of the Fourth of July over at Ault Park. I went for a run around the trails. It had rained all the night before and was still raining, so the trails were muddy and slippery. I had to walk them in places. It was fun, though. There's something very enjoyable about being alone in the woods in the rain.
Here are some pictures I took while I was there (l-r): imprisoned flowers, muddy trail, muddy legs, muddy shoes, non-muddy snail
Hier GCTMT a comme tous les ans passé une journée aux Eurockéennes de Belfort. Cette année la fête avait quelques chose de spéciale car le festival fêtait ses 20 ans.
Le début de journée commence par un loupé, c'est trop tard pour le concert de l'alsacien T, dommage.
Direction la Loggia pour le concert de The Mondrians, des suisses qui sont dans la mouvance du mouvement rock parisien à l'instar des Naast et autre Second Sex. La prestation est pas mal, on sent qu'ils sont heureux d'être là.
Arno. Jamais vu en live, pas vraiment entendu d'album auparavant, mais grosse curiosité. Arno nous annonce qu'il est dans la merde, il a perdu son guitariste. Le concert commence dans un style assez soutenu, voir plutôt rock, ses grimaces font penser à Joe Cocker. Le plaisir sera de courte duré, deux pannes de courant écourterons le set. Dommage.
Autre curiosité, La Bande Originale. Un concert créé de toute piéce pour les vingt ans du festival. L'affiche est prometteuse, car c'est la réunion d' artistes français qui rendent hommage à l'histoire du rock. Camille et Ann Pierlé reprennent Le Petit train des Rita Mitsouko, Daniel Darc reprends Réquiem pour un con de Gainsbourg transformé en un réquiem pour un Président, Arno chante La fille du Père Noêl, Didier Wampas et Nosfell chantent I was Made to loving you de Kiss, Amadou reprend avec d'autres artiste Higher de Sly and the Family Stone. Suit ensuite les prestation d' Olivia Ruiz, Oxmo Pucino... le tout porté par un backing band de choix avec entre autre Seb Martel, Cyril Atef et Vincent Segal (Bumcello et M), Vincent Taurelle que l'on a déjà vu joué avec Air... Grosse impression et belle surprise.
Ensuite c'est Cat Power sous le chapiteau. Quand on l'a vu une première fois, au tout début de sa carrière seule avec sa guitare devant une cinquantaine de personne, les sensations sont obligatoirement diffèrentes et moins bonnes. Belle prestation mais j'ai du mal a rentrer dedans.
La grosse déception de la soirée va pour Massive Attack. C'est la grosse machine bien huilée. aucun jeu de scène. C'est une musique a écouter mais pas a regarder.
Direction le Chapiteau, pour une seconde rencontre avec les belges de dEUS. Rien à dire, éfficace. Tom Barman est en forme, on entends les titres que lon avait envie d'écouter. Sucession d'anciens titres, Fell Off the Floor, Man, Theme frome Turnpike... avec des tritres du dernier album, The Architect... qui par ailleurs, s'annonce trés bon. Final d'anthologie avec Suds & Soda.
The Gossip est le bouquet final. Prestation à la hauteur des attentes. Beth Ditto est en grande forme, fringée comme à son habitude, c'est-à-dire pas à son avantage. Les tubes disco-punk s'enchainent les uns aprés les autres, deux bains de foules pour l'Iggy Pop féminin et un un rappel avec Standing on the way of Control scandé en slip et soutien gorge.
Long live R'n'R.
Here’s an extremely silly story! Back in the day, me whenever someone would bring up the character of DC Comics Superman’s villain THE PARASITE, me and my friends would always break into that very “Dear Prudence-ey” Nick Drake song “Parasite”, off of his illustrious final album PINK MOON.
It would always crack us up because the lyrics really seemed to fit The Parasite’s character so well, lines like “And take a look and you may see me on the ground, for I am the parasite of the town” totally matched the shleppy super-villain who refused human contact’s attitude. In time, I grew to associate the character and the song as one and the same!
Years Later…
When time came around for choosing those little album art icons that appear in your ipod when you are playing songs, we jokingly looked for a picture of the comic Parasite to put in as the song art. My friend wanted to use that Alex Ross picture of the Parasite where Magog and his cohorts are beating him up and scaring him (from the legendary KINGDOM COME series) , but I insisted it would be a LOT funnier if we got the John Buscema art from the Superman / Spider-Man Treasury Edition book that came out when we were in Intermediate School. To me, it was Buscema’s depiction that really gave the Parasite that “Sad Sack” personality, getting beat up by Spider-Man, Superman AND his partner, Doc Doom all in the same issue!
So we went online looking for that cover, and what do you know, we hit PAYDIRT! A lovely gent over at JackBauer’s awesome Blog had scanned the ENTIRE Treasury edition Book! Poring over the pages really took us back, and we decided it would be a riot to attach random Parasite images to each line in the Nick Drake song, and paste it together in photoshop like a manic Mother Goose Nursery Rhyme!
Well, We hastily photoshopped out the word bubbles and pasted the silly thing up, and personally, I think the end result is HILARIOUS! The random images only vaguely match the images of the words, which seems to actually make it funnier to us! Really, It was just the humor of seeing the villain joined together with the song at last!
Every time I read this meld of Nick Drake and DC Comics, I get a laugh, especially that one passage where the song sings “Who’s to care if they lose?” along with an image of Superman punching the holy hell out of the Parasite, right through the roof! Ahahaha!
OK OK, I know this probably won’t be funny to too many of you out there, save for people with warped senses of humor like me and my friends, but, heck, I thought I’d share anyway! Click on the Superman comic to read along with the song!
