All Sooked Out

Man, this blogging thing is hard. I am so hard-up for a reason to blog that I can't even think of something to whinge about. Maybe this is what the doctor ordered. A little bit of public sooking and I am cleared of all things that piss me off.

Like Alanis Morisette with her "Jagged Little Pill" CD. Now that was one angry bitch. And then, after that album shot to number 1 and, like, about 9 out of the 12 songs were hits, she's suddenly a millionaire. And now she's happy. The next thing she writes is a song called "Thank you". Yeah I'd be thankful too if all you people actually paid me heaps of money to write about the things that shit me up the wall.

Look at Guns 'N' Roses. Every song they write sounds like they're really pissed off. What have they got to be pissed off about? "Damn I ran out of black nail polish...that just really gets my goat". I can imagine Axl saying "gets my goat". Be surprised if he remembers the words. I remember watching one of their live videos on the Japan leg of the "Use Your Illusion Tour". He had a tele-prompter with the words to his songs...and it was "Sweet Child O' Mine" of all songs. My 3 year old boy nearly knows the words to that one and the guy who wrote it needs a reminder!?

Anyways I guess now that I'm done whinging I can start to write about happy things...ummm nope. Too much like Home And Away. Every person that comes into that show starts out a bad guy, then by the end of their first season they're good and everyone likes them. About once every three months I find myself watching an episode and saying something along the lines of..."Hang on...the last time I saw this show she was trying to kill that guy, and now they're plotting a bake sale together?!? Cor Blimey!!! And even the simplest bake sale requires this massive organisational structure. The whole town (being the half dozen cast characters required for tonights episode) gathers at the diner to have Colleen delegate duties, which none of them actually carry out anyways. Yet, the very next day they have a bake sale on. And the only people who attend it are the ones who were at the meeting the night before. Why didn't they just bake a cake and take it to the meeting? Better still, buy one fresh from the diner.
