All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you

Posted by Miss Jaime at Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Rush Limbaugh is a pill-popping degenerate asshole. I realize referring to Limbaugh as such is akin to saying water is wet, but saying that Michael J. Fox was faking it in his campaign ad for Senate candidate Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)? That's low -- even pompous, hypocritical douchebag like Limbaugh. I would ask how he looks at himself in the mirror every morning without convulsing with disgust, but I'm sure the copious amount of OxyContin he gobbles down numbs whatever meagre shred of humanity he has in him (if he has any at all).

Enough. I'm not wasting breath on a waste of breath like Limbaugh any longer.










Cobain looks like he's going to break in this picture. Like he's made of a thousand hairline fractures that threaten to shatter at any moment. It's beautiful and heartbreaking.

Certain aborigines believe that having your photograph taken will steal your soul. I don't necessarily agree with that, but I do believe that a camera, in the hands of guys like David LaChappelle, Herb Ritts and Mark Seliger, captures a part of your soul.

I wish I could write the same way Ritts and LaChapplle and Seliger take pictures [or took pictures in the case of the late Ritts]. I want my words to be as potent and vivid as their pictures. I want to capture life, but in a river of ink as opposed to on film.

In other news:

It is currently 65°F in Orlando. I love the fact that it's warm enough to wear shorts, but cool enough to warrant wearing a sweater. I love wearing flip-flops no matter how cold it gets and I love having all the windows opening, drinking Mexican hot chocolate and eating Hobo Meals for dinner.

Jack's Mannequin on Friday! I'm excited. I love Andrew McMahon and it's been forever since I saw a live show. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is dealing with a bunch of "rawking" 18-year-olds. I'm with Greg Behrendt on this one -- I'm all about the adult rock show.

♫ Download:

Dark Blue
Into The Airwaves
Holiday From Real

You know what? Just buy Everything In Transit. It's a great album and if you like Something Corporate, Jamison-Parker, Augustana or just well-written piano-centric music, you'll dig it.

If you don't dig the music, dig the cause and check out the Dear Jack Foundation and Project Flip Flop.

In more music related news, I love Nonpoint's cover of In The Air Tonight. Phil Collins has never sounded so cool. If you haven't heard it, you can check out the track on their MySpace or you can pick up a copy of the Miami Vice soundtrack [which also features Moby, India.Aire, Goldfrapp and Mogwai].

Thanks to Jake for the heads-up and on that note, I'm off to enjoy the rest of my night.
