ITunes Randoblog

Ok, I’ve been busy as shit the past couple weeks. Normally, I have a pretty slow Monday, really busy Tuesday thru Thursday and a WIDE open Friday. Hence the reason I normally post blogs on Friday or the following Monday. Since the New Year, I’ve been busy 8 days a week. It fucking sucks. Sure it may mean I’m getting busier at work which equals money and for those of you who don’t know, I heart money. But the fact is, I like utilizing the creative juices I’ve got flowin inside me, every now and then. Well I think that well has run dry, for now. I have become uninspired and can not think of anything relevant to write about. No that doesn’t mean you can stop reading now, you got yourself into this and now you will have to ride it out.

So about 6 months ago, I read a very helpful blog written by a friend of mine…well kind of a friend…ok so I don’t really like him that much but either way, I got the idea from him. The blog basically laid out a way to get the creativity rollin again. It’s called the ITunes Randoblog. I don’t much feel like typing out the rules for you, so if you are interested in the rules…find them here. Alright, I’ll wait for you to go read them

Ok let’s get this monkey started. So I don’t have ITunes on my computer, I have Windows Media Player. My company won’t allow me to download any unnecessary programs, and despite my best efforts, my corporate office didn’t buy my argument that I need ITunes to function as a mortgage broker. Jackasses. So yeah I may be breaking a rule, but Mike can bite it if he thinks I care. WMP will suffice. I’m a little disappointed to be starting right now. My current song is Riders on the Storm by The Doors, probably my favorite song by them. Ok now on to the dice…that’s going to be a problem. I don’t keep gambling devices around my office, often. There has to be a program on line that could simulate two random numbers between 1 and 6. YAY, I found one. Ok let’s set this up: 6 sides, 2 dice. Off we go. Ok, this thing is retarded, I rolled a 13. How the hell do you roll a 13 with 2 six sided dice? Anyway, lets try it again, wonderful, a number that actually lies between 2 and 12. I rolled an 11. Now we’re cookin’ with fire.

Song: Friends by Bone Thugs~N~Harmony

Hmm...well that’s crappy. I’ve already written a blog on Bone Thugs~N~Harmony. Fuck man, this whole game sucks. Ok ok ok I’ll try to make the best of this. No I won’t, I’m not writing another blog on them. Lets try again.

Ok, outstanding the dice roller worked on the first try this time – I rolled a 5.

Song: Somnombulance by Strung Out

Yay, my favorite song by Strung Out. I just recently, and by recently I mean 6 months ago, started listening to punk. Punk never really made any sense to me. I grew up listening to classic rock and moved on to rap around 6th grade or so. Punk was always just awful yelling to me. More often than not when I heard punk I would just hear retarded lyrics screamed. Still at face value the lyrics are a bit off for some punk songs. Take this song for example; it’s all about how this guy can’t go to sleep. Neat. A group with a name Strung Out would make a song about not being able to sleep, rather apropos. But the song is outstanding. I recommend you get the album, Suburban Teenage Wasteland and listen to it. A lot. Ok I’m done with the whole walking billboard for Strung Out schpeal.

Speaking of which, I haven’t been sleeping well lately. Not certain why. It could have something to do with all the supermodels in my house constantly waking me up to have sex with them, but I’m not sure. Seems like everyday I wake up feeling worse and worse about my decision to open my eyes. Damn my alarm clock. Damn my job. Damn my logic to put it on the other end of the room so I have to actually get up to turn it off. Let me tell you it’s a lot of fun trying to get to work while you are still blurry eyed, makes for a fun filled car ride. Hmm…this doesn’t have anything to do with music…ok back I go. Ohh ,and no, I’m not going to even pretend to segue back into music.

You might be thinking, “if you thought it was just yelling, why did you get into it?” Well basically 90% of my friends listen to it. We used to get in arguments over music all the time. Let me tell you its very hard to defend to a genre that is, in recent times, lead by idiots like Nelly and Lil’ Jon. For every great rapper there are at least ten other rappers doing their best to make rap as Ludacris (do you like how I did that, I’m so funny) as possible.

How do these people become famous? Let me rephrase that, because plenty of people become famous for their stupidity. Take Jessica Simpson, Kevin Federline, Paris Hilton etc. for example. How do these people become musical stars? Who sits behind a desk and listens to a guy incorrectly say “there, here or any other word that ends with -ere.” in every song he writes and says, “that’s gonna redefine music!” When did yelling “Yeah” and “Ok” behind a synthesized beat become musical genius? Most importantly WHY do people keep buying their music?

Also, rappers need to start coming up with better names. A very good indicator of lack of creativity from a rapper is shown if they put ‘Big’ or ‘Lil’ in front of their name. I mean come on…who do you think you are foolin’ making your stage name lil jon, lil bow wow, lil kim, lil scrappy, lil romeo, lil flip…I can go on for days. Ok we get it, you are not large. Why do they even want to associate themselves with being so little, isn’t rap all about how big you are. Ohh don’t think you are getting off easy Mr. I put big infront of my name. You are no better, Big Pun, Big Mike, Big Stan, Big L…and so on. You aren’t small; you need to hit the gym a few more times, got it. Would you all please just take the adjectives out of your name? Come up with a creative name or something? Eminem…creative. His name is Marshall Mathers…put the m and m together and spell it phonetically and BAM! great stage name.

So In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the song Somnombulace is long since over. I’ve probably listened to 3 songs since that ended, I cheated. Cheating or not, the magic of the ITunes Randoblog (ITR) worked again. I’m not certain how the ITR got me to go from Strung Out promotion to my sleeping habits to an in depth analysis of the hip hop community, but it did. God Bless you ITunes Randoblog.
