Independent Male of 18.

So tomorrow, Zak & I start broadcasting the radio show he & I are doing together --Bounce.

HOWEVER, he went home with mono, and so now I'm stuck with doing the entire 2 hour segment by myself. Holy titties, I'm nervous. I barely remember the controls, and I know I'll fuck something up. The thing is, having nothing playing or no one saying anything (dead air) is the worst thing to have. Pressure on my head.

So now, I'm working on the playlist (shit shit motherfuck diarrhea doughnut vag), and it's coming along verrrrryyyyy slowly. I have to get ready for a party for tonight and now this is on top of it. I know, I'm bitching over easily-manged things, but the fact that I'm entering the college radio scene myself is a bit unnerving.

Here's the playlist thus far:
1) Seventeen Years - Ratatat
2) Fell in Love with a Girl - The White Stripes
3) Hit the Wall - Broken Social Scene presents Brendan Canning
4) An Eluardian Instance - of Montreal

Petty, Easily, Totally Asinine

PETA is crazy. See here:

PETA: Spearfish school should be called Sea Kitten

SPEARFISH, S.D. – The activist animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked school officials to change the name of Spearfish High School to "Sea Kitten High School." The new name would "reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake," the organization said in a letter to Steve Morford, Spearfish High School principal.

PETA said the letter is part of a new Sea Kitten campaign aimed at children.

If children were taught to refer to fish as "sea kittens," reflecting that fish, like cats and dogs, are "individuals" that "do have friendships," fewer fish might be killed for food or sport, said Pulin Modi, a PETA spokesman.

"We want people to realize that more fish are killed each year than all animals combined," he said. "They don't have the sympathy of more popular animals like cats and dogs."

Morford said he did not want to share his feelings about PETA. "Obviously, it's nothing we're taking seriously," he said.

I'm sorry, but I can't actually believe how ridiculous PETA is acting with this request. This is so pointless, and come on, sea kittens? Well, if they can invent pointless things like that, then I can make up a bullshit claim saying that I am actually Christina Aguilera & Bono...at the same time. Suck on that, PETA.

Stroll

You know the saying
To walk a mile in someone’s shoes?
Well I did that
And strolled around in a stranger’s pair of Nikes
Worn out soles and tattered laces
These shoes have walked more than a mile
Drowned in dirt and who knows what

Who knows why
This rubber and fabric combination seems to
Stick together for so long?
Bits and pieces are flapping around in the free air
Yet they stay together
To get us from A to B

It’s too bad
That we get too bored of what’s on our feet
And dispose of shoes before their time
Gnarled fabric and dirty laces
Hide the versatility
Of walking a mile in a random pair of shoes.
