Primordial Chaos

Oh hell, I was looking for a song to put here and for a title, but might as well put the one I talk about later on in the post.



I finished up 3 new songs in the past couple of days. Thinker Dreamer, the idea of which I stole from myself and the previous post where I said I liked that pic of me because it shows that side of me. When A Good Thing Goes Bad, which sounds like a break up song lyrically, but it's actually about my experience at UNM. The 3rd one is Joyride, which is a love song about my car and it's a really goofy fun song and very upbeat.

So while looking to see if/when/where the Brand New Heavies were going to tour to because I'm feeling in the mood for a concert, I found out Simon, the cute guitarist, played guitar on Jamiroquai's first album Emergency On Planet Earth. That's like a BILLION awesome points right there.

There's this Oasis song that I KNEW I'd heard somewhere else before, but couldn't place WHERE. Well, I was watching the movie Snatch, which I've seen a couple of times already, on my Droid with some friends and in the final fight scene they play the song. What's the song? Fuckin' In The Bushes. It's apparently based on a comment a cop made about the Isle of Wight festival in the 70s the quote used in the song is "Kids running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes". My friends and I start these stupid memes between ourselves all the time. For those of you who don't know quite what I mean when I say meme, think about those silly cat pictures where people put goofy quotes on them. Or the Kanye West "Imma let you finish" one where they have him interrupting random people and they change the quote to make it relevant to the picture. If you still don't get it, google it, lol.

Anyways, we start these stupid memes, and it started by us listening to the song over and over because we were laughing our asses off at the "kids running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes" part. I'm not sure why it caught on, but we were texting that to each other over and over. Well, I added some to it, and sent a message "hey, watch out on your way to class...there might be kids running around naked fuckin' in the bushes!". This somehow opened the floodgates of our creativity. There was nothing that was safe from us saying it was running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes. NOTHING. Cars, professors, final exams, president of the university, the football team, dead cats, the homeless drunks who terrorize campus, the crazy old gay guy who walks around campus in tiny shorts preaching about drinking his own pee and how we should all drink our own pee and eating 10 pounds of carrots regularly will prevent you from getting HIV, Barack Obama, Osama bin Laden, Kim Jong-il, Nelson Mandela, Jesus Christ, the "supposed" Virgin Mary, every boy band we could think of, members of congress, exes and even each other. I had one of my friends jump out from behind a bush while I was leaving class and yell "I'm running around naked, fuckin' in the bushes!". I put my Droid on mute because I was getting so freaking many of these and I was getting tired of hearing my phone go "Droid" "Droid" "Droid" over and over constantly, lol. I finally sent out a message saying I'd had quite enough fuckin' in the bushes for one day, maybe tomorrow we can go back to fuckin' in the bushes. It was REALLY funny though, my sides hurt cause I've been laughing all day. Even got a French professor in on it, so it was going on in French too which was even more hilarious.

It was a much needed goofy ass activity to burn some stress since finals are NEXT WEEK. Everyone is all stressed out and cranky and tired...it was good to just be fucking stupid for a while instead of all intense and focused. Us crazy college kids. :P

Going back to Oklahoma for the weekend, kinda excited but also kinda nervous. I grew up there, I have a lot of memories there...and apparently lots of people I went to school with are still there. Which freaks me out, because my only knowledge of these people are as kids. Now they're all 27/28 (I was usually the youngest in all my classes) a lot are married, a lot have kids....that's a major dissonance with what I know of them. How do you make small talk with someone you know but you don't know?

My cat Metro is VERY exotic looking, he is long and sleek with very light/pale turquoise/green eyes and he's black head to toe. I was curious as to his background so had a genetic test done, and apparently he's about 40% siamese. How 40% happened, I dunno, but he is beautiful. My pet name for him is "handsome" and he purrs when I say it. Us mixed breeds are usually beautiful. ;)

Speaking of Metro, when I got home today, I found one of his conquests, a dead mouse, on the tiles. So I took a picture and picture messaged it to some people. My message with the photo was "OH MY GOD, STUART LITTLE! NOOOO!!!!" One of my friends just got the message and replied back to me:

"What would this world be without you, Aeris?"

Far less dementedly entertaining, for sure.
