Icarus's blog: "Somantics"

that people hate tomatos.
Seriously, the ones we're exposed to are canned, or ...
blechk

I swear 90% of the tomatos I've had in my life tasted more like ... wet nothing.

Its a damn shame really, and apparently this area suffered a mater famine, so
you guessed it, prepackaged, mass shipped, color treated, barely mature (barely legal) tomatos in my salad.

*sigh*

I've had ketchup that tasted more like tomato.

Man what I'd give for a big, bumpy, knobby, purple heriloom, bursting with seeds and actual flavor.

Sure they look like a tumor.

But that doesn't matter after you cut them.

Also, I woke up today thinking about band tattoos.

My beloved readers, I still think they're an awful idea.
And I may have mocked you for this already.

Here's why.

Snoop Dogg is a voice actor on children's movies.
Abba sucks.
And Steve Tyler is going to be a judge on American Idol.

That is the antithesis of rock
and music.

Sure, you never know when your beloved music gods are going to sell out.
I mean
Trent has done some shitty shit in his shit days.
Avenged Seven Fold went from metal to ... power ballads.
And Eminem... who I always thought was a twat
is trying to come back as the hardest mother fucker to ever fuck a mother
after
getting back together with his ex
and going to rehab

for sleeping pills.
Pussiest puss to ever puss-out.

Actually this is my point exactly
You never know when your beloved rock god is going to sell out.

Remember Lars shutting down free music for ... nearly a decade?

When Ozzy was more recognizeable as a TV personality than ... Grampa ROCK!?

When Trent quit the skag?

When Kid Rock became Kid Country?

When the Oakridge boys...
wait...
the Oakridge boys
Foreigner
and Hall and Oats

STILL rock.

When KISS did the love ballads like every other glittered out west coast mascara wearing faggot?

God that's a hateful word.

But note (just as southpark did) my generation has started to use that word for ... basically anyone trying too hard that we hate. Gay people are kinda brave and kinda cool to me >>

Sometimes,
bands or band members
sell out.

Big time.

I could probably see myself with an Urge Tattoo (though their "final album" blew monkey dick and Steve was no longer on Crystal Meth, and there was no more horn section)
Or 2 Skinnee J's
The bands too obscure to buy their own hype
I can see it,
but no one will EVER get your indy underground tattoo
you're counting on that fact
and you're a twat for trying to be indy.

You don't try to be indy
you just... are when you fucking wake up in the afternoon.

I think what I'd rather have
which is the vague, undercousin of the rock tattoo

contact their album's cover artist
ask him if he's willing to do a commission of a HUGE shoulder/back spanning CRAZY design
and plaster that to your body.

... Hell I'd let Carl Critchlow do it.

Or Mark Zug... who I have a signed print and card from

Wait...

I'm still not ever getting a tattoo.
