a few thoughts on this whole "fff" thing

so as i pulled in tonight from my long winter break excursion with my family, the parade welcomed me coming down wilson pike, leading all the way to my front door. it was quite a spectacle.... ok that really didn't happen but it kinda would have made the 15 hour drive back from long island a little less shitty. so i would just like to make a few notes about my trip, otherwise known as some forced family fun, hence the fff in the title of this post (tiedye should know all about this). so here are a few things that i have come up from my few days in the big apple, NYC:

1)so many Chinese people- ok so this really had not occur ed to me until this most recent trip to new york city. there are so many fucking chinese people. now i really dont have many things against them as an ethnicity. they might be rude sometimes, smell bad, or even rip me off at the local dry cleaner (you know who you are, bitch), but they do make excellent food. ok but besides those points, i noticed that there are just so many of them in the city. with them able to have as many babies as possible without restrictions like in the mother country, they will soon be able to take over the city. they kicked the jews out of the lower eastside, and they own many other shitty shops. this one lady even came into a pizzeria in little italy and tried to sell me copies of DVDs while i was at the table. crazy.

2)there is no need for a tripod in the middle of fucking new york city- ok so i am walking around new york city, trying to not look like a complete dbag, aka a tourist, and i see these fucks taking out tripods in the middle of times square to take a picture. first off, this is completely unnecessary due to the fact that as humans, we have two arms, which can hold a camera to take the photo. i really dont understand why people decide to take up half of the sidewalk to place the tripod out. and plus i bet it is a pain in the ass to carry it around the city all day. what losers.

so those are my main two thoughts that disturbed me a bit just while walking around the city. and for the record straight im not racist, referring to the first point, but there are soooo many asians its crazy. sorry.

other than that, the city was alot of fun. it was extremely clean and for the first time in a while i actually did not see any homeless people. so that was a positive not having to jump over puddles of their piss.

on another note: here is a new band called the gaslight anthem, and their song the 59 sound. and i like it. check it out



for now,

much love soccerball

i dig this

just listen.

one of my favorite christmas songs (hopefully this one works)

i like dis

so i know this song is on the study playlist but i really do like it and i felt that i have to reiterate that. so here is the song, again, for the second, time, yes. four holy photos by hockey.

i like the harmonica in the song, its quality. but its rare that you would find that in a more modern band that kinda does techy pop stuff. very interesting.

"The song of four holy photos
They never look into their own eyes
Its the second closest you'll get"
