An Excerpt From the Original Wicked Ways '01

So I went nostalgia shopping in my basement earlier tonight for old pictures to use in an art project I was intending to start. Instead, I was reeled into reading my old diaries from when I was younger. I entitled my diaries, "The Wicked Ways of Miss Hysteria" volumes 1-3. They date all the way to 1997! After re-reading them, I realized my grammar and spelling were quite horrible when I was 13 and gradually improved throughout the years. This is the very first page of Volume 3 (my later years). I didn't realize how weird I was. Here goes:

July 2001
"As our minds fill with negative images, we are left lying in the darkness of our own heads. Our hearts swim in a glass we call life. It sits next to our bed each night. Because we let this happen, our dreams get smashed against the wall, only to be seen at a mere few feet away. But only time will tell. Soon these negative images after time haunt our dreams, which are placed so abruptly on that wall. They distort true reality, based on your own personal spirituality. The human's television mind, body and soul will soon speak with it's mouth full of shit. You're given what what they sold you, which seems to be your only true grasp on the concept of life. Nobody really wants to be a junkie, we all just fall into the gaps of what the man tricks us into thinking is happiness. We're slaves within the walls of our own personal prison, those walls being slowly built up, soon blinding us to the outside. But in the meantime, we sit back, relax, be happy, consume, lie, cheat, vote, pretend to love, ask for forgiveness and sleep. Then when time ticks for too long, those walls soon become too large to tear down. This is when we bury ourselves deep inside the minds we wish we didn't have, as we cry for help on one hot fucking summer afternoon."

Mashed Potato and Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas

I'm always looking for new vegetarian recipes. Found this one, going to try out this week:







INGREDIENTS

* 1 head broccoli, cut into florets
* 8 ounces whole button mushrooms
* 3 small zucchini, chopped
* 2 cups chopped carrots
* 1/4 cup olive oil
* salt and pepper to taste
* 3 cups water
* 1 cup milk
* 1/4 cup butter
* 1 (7.6 ounce) package instant mashed potato flakes
* 1 (12 ounce) package corn tortillas
* 3 cups enchilada sauce
* 8 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini, and carrots. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Spread vegetables in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Roast vegetables in the preheated oven for 30 to 40 minutes; stir halfway through their cooking time. When finished cooking, remove from the oven, and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Bring water, milk, and butter to a boil in a large pot. Remove the pot from heat, and mix in the mashed potato flakes. Let stand two minutes, then stir the mashed potatoes with a fork until they are smooth. Stir in roasted vegetables.
4. In a dry, nonstick skillet over medium heat, quickly heat each tortilla on both sides to make pliable. Dip the tortillas in enchilada sauce. Put a large spoonful (approximately 1/4 to 1/3 cup) of potato-veggie mixture into the center of each tortilla. Top mixture with about 1 to 2 tablespoons cheese, and roll tortillas. Place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour extra sauce over top, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through.

MTV can suck it.

I very rarely watch the television for numerous reasons not important to this blog. But, as I was cooking food in the kitchen, I decided to turn the TV on. The MTV show, True Life, was on. I actually enjoy watching this show because, at times, it can be quite interesting, informative and it even teaches me not to do things like meth or have a child before the age of 20 (check! got that one in the clear.)
I watched it off and on. The episode was about young people taking care of their family without the help of their parents, (i.e. a 23 year old girl having to support her younger siblings and mother by working full time paying the rent, etc.). It wasn't as interesting as other True Life episodes, so I wondered away from the TV to finish cooking.
When I finally came back into the living room, True Life was over and The Real World had begun to start. Might I add the "Real World" is as much unreal compared to True Life as a rich kid is to poverty. For some reason the "plot" of "The Real World" sucked me in. Two female roommates were quarreling for no reason except to show animosity towards each other. Bleach Blonde Too Much Tanning Bed Roomate pushed Naturally Darker Complected Jewish "The Closest to Minority" Female Roommate down in the hallway. Bleach Blonde yells at Jewish Female and explains how much she hates the Jewish Female Roomate, not giving an actual reason just saying how she "Has never felt so much hate towards another person in the whole WORLD". (a stress on the word, "world") She then starts screaming at the Jewish Roommate, "I have a better life than you, a better religion, a better family, a better race, and you're just jealous because you're fat." (might I add there isn't a single person in the house with an once of fat on them).
So at this point in the show, I was hooked. "That stupid blonde bitch! She just exclaimed to the whole MTV world how racist she is!" I just had to watch what happened next. I was positive the blonde bitch was gonna get her ass ripped by the rest of the house for being such a dumbass.
The roomates all held a house meeting to discuss the situation. To sum it up Blonde Bitch physically assaulted and was racially prejudice to her Jewish Female Roommate. So each of the roommates took their turn discussing what they think should happen with the blonde roomate. NONE of them thought it was fair to kick Blonde Roomate out of the house and NONE of them mentioned how wrong anything about the racial comments Blonde Bitch said about Jewish Roomate was. Jewish Roommate makes the final decision and decides Blonde Bitch needs to get kicked out for pushing her down, Blonde Bitch then has to pack up her things. The two other white-bred female roommates cry and yell about how unfair it is for her to be kicked out and that she did nothing wrong and that Jewish Roommate is just being hateful, malicious and is only getting the Blonde Bitch kicked out because she is jealous of her and knows she cannot be as good as her. They agree with the Blonde Bitch and promise to "get back" at Jewish Roommate after Blonde Bitch is kicked out with the use of itching powder and malicious tactics.
At this point in the show, I'm just furious they put people like these on television, representing young American adults. And to top it all off, the Redneck Male Roomate says in his interview, "I guess we're a dyin breed, all the good roomates are gettin kicked out."
FUCK YOU MTV.

The King Khan and BBQ Show

If you just happened to be wondering what I'll be doing on Monday night, November 26, 2007. I'll be at the Jackpot Saloon in Lawrence, KS attending the King Khan and BBQ Show show. I cannot begun to explain how excited I am about this event, I believe I am more excited about this than I was about Jay Reatard and as excited, but on a different level of excitement, as I was for Devendra Banhart. Please feel free to join me in the excitement at anytime during the show.

I love you my darlings, please enjoy this video for Waddlin' Around:

Don't Throw Eggs

So throwing raw eggs in the bathtub where your male roommate is bathing does not end in the words, "Stop thowin' eggs at my pee pee!" The real words that will come out of his mouth are, "What the fuck!? I've had two hours of sleep and all I wanted to do was go home and relax and you assholes throw eggs in my bathtub!?" (This being said while male roommate is standing in the hallway butt-naked, pee pee and all.)

Urg...I guess real people don't act like the ones on TV. I'm going to blame my actions on the media. The media made me throw those eggs in the bathtub.

Random Awesome Youtube Videos

Fantomas "Rosemary's Baby"

Box of Fun

I just found out that the cardboard box was nominated in the National Toy Hall of Fame as a child's favorite toy. Are you fucking kidding? Who nominated a cardboard box as being fun, a cat? Sounds to me like some little boy or girl's parents are trying to convince them that the box they gave them last year for Christmas is actually a really fun toy. "See Billy, it was nominated in the National Toy Hall of Fame, play with it, its fun."


Either that or kids really do like cardboard boxes nowadays. But then again, kids ARE fucking idiots.

Toking with Lawrence Welk

Ha ha...So I know I'm posting numerous Youtube videos, but I can't help it. Sometimes the crap you find on there is so funny.

Okay so...you remember Dick Dale (from Dick Dale and Deltones)? You know, the oh-so-hip guitarist most well know by people our age for "Misirlou" featured on the Pulp Fiction movie soundtrack. Here's a clip if you're still clueless:



And here is Dick Dale on the Lawrence Welk's show singing "One Toke Over the Line" with some shitty folk chick, after what I guest he assumed was his way of either "selling out" or showing everyone how depressed and washed up he was at the moment. And check out Lawrence Welk's toking cough! Ha! Ha!

Anarchy in the UK? Yeah, didn't think so.

So a friend, Daniel, has informed me that the Sex Pistol's first and only album, "Nevermind the Bollocks" was released November 10, 1977 (30 years ago from yesterday). Please compare these two videos below, one being from 1977 and the second filmed yesterday. They went from young rebellious assholes preforming in dirty punk rock bars, singing about anarchy in the UK to---old, Prada wearing assholes, with expensive haircuts, who perform on late night talk shows singing about anarchy in the UK.
Point is, even though the Sex Pistols have changed ever so slightly, they still blow ass. I also wanted to point out that even after 30 years of being played on commercial radio, having their CDs and t-shirts sold at local Hot Topic and Target department stores and hearing poser punk rock fucks repeat their lyrics at high volumes, that their stupid one hit never actually changed the government in the UK. It goes to show that even if you yell and act like a bitchy whiny brat anarchist kid, you still don't get your way, you'll just end up on Jay Leno wiggling your old wrinkly ass at an audience made up of mostly upper-middle class privileged white Americans. Didn't you learn anything from your parents?


then...


now...

RIP: Hank Thompson

(Hank Thompson died of lung cancer today.)

Who really cares? I do.

I am going to miss Fursaxa and The Valerie Project on November 8th in Chicago. This upsets me very much. If you live in Chicago, you should go because you need acid folk.

BUT HOWEVER...Witchcraft will be playing at the Replay November 20th. Badass.

Yeast Makes Bread Rise, Therefore the World Will Explode

I believe the world is a big biological trick, humans are set up to perpetuate the species. Why do we want to move forward, why does technology move forward? What the world's thirst for innovation all about? Why is the world getting bigger, why do people keep repopulating the world? If the world were a living organism, than the highly populated areas would be infected growths. reproduction is our species purpose, much like how yeast makes bread rise. But, through my research finding old classmates from high school, I've concluded that only the ignorant breed (meaning ALL of them have bred). IS this suppose to be mean the world is going down the shitter!??

Cigarette

I smoke at least a pack of cigarettes a day. I know this habit does not aid to my health, but I smoke for the sake of smoking anyway. Our household has agreed on a "no smoking" rule inside the house, so my smoking is always done on the porch.
Today was an unusually windy day, this made the temperature seem almost overbearing. Currently, its three minutes until midnight and I just smoked my last cigarette, almost all of them being outside in the cold wind. But for some reason my last cigarette was an especially delightful one.
