and you havent eaten lunch yet?

ever go upstairs for a weekly meeting and theres a film crew shooting a new Deniro flick and it looks like Bobby D is going to be using your old office back when you had an office?

ever get chewed out by the sexiest girl who dumps you tells you your selfish tells you she never wants to see you again tells you you kissed bad tells you you held hands bad tells you that youre the opposite of compatible and then a month later in the middle of the night informs you that she just noticed that you “defriend”ed her on facebook and wants to know why youd do something that mean?

ever go back and forth on something in your mind like 100 times in a day “yes i will go to SXSW, no i wont go to SXSW, yes i will, no i wont, they need me here, they need me there, its too expensive, its pricelss, the bands, the contacts, the booze, the food, the opportunites, the insight, the travel, the late nights, the early morns, the expense, the waste, the couch you could buy, the bed you could buy”

ever try to be good at 3pm and head down to the cafeteria for a chicken salad and theres no chicken and you have to eat a completely vegetarian salad. dont these people know youre lightskinned but very much a black man in Black History Month, thus chicken is not an option its a necessity?

ever go to bed at 4:20am and you have no idea why it took you so long to get there?

ever wonder how hard howard stern is laughing now that he knows that his old radio station in LA has gone from #1 when he was on in the mornings to forced to change their format to music because the hole he left was so grande that Adam Corolla, Tom Lyekis, or Frosty Heidi and Frank couldnt fill it?

ever wonder how you can get a gig blogging about Vegas for the LA Times and your current assignment is being “embedded” inside the worlds most popular whore house?

ever wonder when they will make a battery that could get recharged by the sun?

ever wonder how long it would take the USA’s first black attorney general to call the land of the free “a nation of cowards” in regards to race relations?

ever wonder how much i heart you?

the weirdest things have happened ever since i took this weird picture

most of the weird things have to do with current and former nba cheerleaders, but what else is new.

so instead of even thinking about half that stuff, most of which, to me, at least, revolves around trust; im going to go through wednesdays music choices for sxsw on march 18th, the kickoff of the avalanche of rock.

because in the end, rock will always be there for you.

and of course, the world famous buttblog.

Pong – 1am – Room 710

its always a good idea to pick a few bands that are scheduled for the same time cuz you never know where you’ll end up or how packed it might be,

like you might totally think that you’ll be able to see the Grates at 11 but lets say everyone finally gets it about them and they fill up the Radio Room? gotta jet over to see st vincent at that crazy church. but if thats packed buffalo billiards probably will be fine. but youd better bail early if you wanna see juliette lewis’s new band and new sound over at emos. but after 20 minutes you better grab a cab because across town at antones is the best female guitarist in town, carolyn wonderand. but if shes playing again you might not sweat it, stay on red river and check out priestess instead.

anyways, best laid plans…
