Tonight is Flogging Molly. If you don't know who Flogging Molly is, you're a fucking moron. Seriously, your life is shit without Flogging Molly. Okay, here's how I will try to explain the unexplainable goodness of Flogging Molly. Think IRISH plus PUNK ROCK plus LIQUOR plus DANCING plus REALLY GOOD MUSIC and then think that that wonderful picture you have just created is shit compared to Flogging Molly. Get ready to get drunk and dance on the devil's dance floor, my friends.
I got drunk the other night and wrote my profile, which some of you have seen, and fewer of you have commented on. I believe I'm smart when I am drunk --it's that whole optomistic feeling that comes along with being drunk, so I wrote that profile, and then I read it, and realized that I'm pretty stupid, and not all that smart, and I use commas too much. But here it is, continued and updated. Thank God for alcohol. Oh and update: I was going to read a book earlier, but then Kate came over with liquor.. so close. If the following seems stupid, get drunk, and read it again...
"I wish I could write down the things I thought. The things I REALLY thought. The thoughts and emotions that are undeniably beyond words, too deep and too real for any simple word. I'd assume that's where the simile was first used. It was understood that feelings were unable to be written down directly, but maybe they'd be clearer through comparison. Similes, in my opinion, still don't do the trick. They are still created wholly by words. We have handicapped ourselves, making our only opportunity to spread our emotions through words we have made up that ironically will never be right. Everything is so clear, so true, and so pure in thought, but always so fake and gray when written down and expressed. I find myself writing down my feelings and then screaming "No, that's not what I meant, not at all what I meant... not at all." I wish I could write down the things I thought. The things I REALLY thought. That way I'd have something to write down."
*since I can't, I will continue to write bullshit for all of your enjoyment, as well as mine.*
