Name Looked up on Urban Dictionary

Tyson

1) The best Goddamn boxer the world has ever seen, with his explosive power sending opponents to the canvas.

I was a boxer, but I was never THAT good. haha

2)Sexyest and nicest manwhore you will ever meet

ok. cant argue with that one.

3)"Tai-sun" meaning well endowed male

all of my friends who took chinese in high school used to call me that. I had no idea thats what they meant

4)Text slang for taking your shirt off now.

please do. :)

5)to metaphorically fuck. especially in the ass

I dont know if i like where this is going urbandictionary

6)inserting a fist in both a girls pink and stink

come on! really?

Started out strong... thanks urban dictionary  :)

The first time I had the balls to talk to a girl (ninth grade), i was rejected to the song "one head light" by the wallflowers. haha. every time it comes on, i feel bad.  funny.

:)

1) Smooth Criminal/Michael Jackson

what can i say.  as much as I love to hate on the recently deceased king of pop, i still think his old music is solid.  when i was a kid i was his biggest fan. luckily i was never invited to neverland ranch

2)Farewell Ride/Beck

Not a huge Beck fan, but this ones a real mood setter.  and the mood is somber with a little bit of adventurous. i just love it. I've already told my brother that it is to be played at my funeral when the day comes. no "Tears in Heaven" for me

3) No Rain/Blind Melon

this song just makes me happy.  they had other songs, other good songs, but none are as memorable.  i still remember the first time i saw the video.  priceless.

4)Subterranean Homesick Blues/Bob Dylan

Love his writing, but i almost always think his songs are improved by someone else singing them.  this is the exception. no one else can pull it off.  its a jumbled mess and a sign of the times all in one

5)Across 110th street/Bobby Womack

I'll admit i'd never heard of womack until i saw jackie brown years ago, but this song renewed my love of black music that isnt rap.  funk, soul, motown. you name it. its just a really hopeless song.  makes me feel.

6)Chemicals between us/Bush

I've heard a lot of complaints about Bush from friends, and I see thier points, but its just a really solid song that evokes my early teenage angst.  takes me back.

7)Graduation Day/Chris Isaak

All of his songs are sad.  and i love them all. a love that most of my friends dont understand. this is the best.  try it. youll see

8)Pass it on/The Coral

"just find a feelin', Pass it on". its simple and it makes me smile. overall not a great band but this one gets me

9)Something about us/Daft punk

I love that they steal old funk bass lines.  and they do it well. this song is my favorite. just a damn sexy tune

10)Little Sister/Queens of the stone age

I think this might have been the first queens song i heard, and its still up there in my favorites. gets me pumped up. the music more than the lyrics

11)The last time/Gnarls Barkley. 

Stupid name, but they know what theyre doin.  another sexy song. is that weird to say about a song sung by another man? haha. i dont care.

12)Mishto!/Gogol Bordello

Most of the Music in "Everything is Illuminated" was just instrumental versions of theyre songs. the younger russian guy in the movie is the front man.  check it out. its weird in a good way. ive seen them in concert twice, and while ive heard better concerts, theirs was by far the most fun.  if you hear it, youll get it

13)Violet/Hole.

Yeah yeah. i hate courtney love too. but in her prime she had a couple decent songs. and this is one of them

14)Throwin shapes/Minus the bear

the best band your not listening to. theyre from the seattle area and ive been a fan from the day i first saw them.  this song reminds me of a certain someone and puts a smile on my face

15)Brother/Murder by death

Their albums play like a good book. this song is my favorite of theirs.  the whole album is like a musical version of "the road"

16)Elderly woman/Pearl Jam

I did a performance piece involving this song about my grandmother. every time i hear it it brings me close to tears. her and i didnt get along when she was around and the performance art i did helped me get over all of the time we spent hating each other.  so its her song now.

17)Where is my mind?/the Pixies

My first introduction to real alternative music. when it was still sort of an alternative.  its one of those songs where i go "hey, is this about me?"

18)Georgia on my mind/Ray Charles

Nuff said

19)Lady, your roof brings me down/Scott Weiland

It's a weird one. if you havent heard it, give it a listen.  i always listen to this when im in a weird mood. cant really explain it, which is why i think its good. makes me think of the circus

20)Give me one reason/Tracy chapman

Ugly woman, amazing musician. laugh all you want. i love it

21)Electric relaxation/Tribe called quest

the name says it all. one of the most relaxing songs i know

22)If you want me to stay/Sly and the family stone

one of my favorite songs from the 70s.  and a band that i think despite their notoriety remains underrated

23)Hunger strike/Temple of the dog

a bunch of great musicians from different bands. usually it doesnt work, this time it did. still one of those songs that takes me to my youth

ok. ill stop here. there are like twenty more on the playlist, but i wont subject you to reading about them.

So a few weeks ago I had a cocktail party.  I've been watching Mad Men, and I live in a college town, so i thought it would be nice to have a party where everyone didnt wear t shirts and play beer pong while listening to hardcore music. 

I made a rule, if you dont dress up, you dont get in. everyone complained, but the exclusivity of the event made it so over the night, at least 60 people showed up. 

I played lounge music from the 50s and 60s, (another rule was no music made after 1965), and like i suspected, the lack of loud music and the dress code kept people calm.  for the first half of the night, it was drinks, intelligent conversation, and hors d'ouvres (i think thats the right spelling).

the girls wore cocktail dresses, the guys suits and ties, (if they showed up without a tie they had to choose one from my collection. i have around fifty. cause im weird).

all of this made for a nice party. and then someone put on hiphop around 12 am. and everyone started dancing. at this point, id had the party i wanted, so i allowed it. big mistake. the whole attitude of the party changed.

one guy, who ill call hunter. because thats his name. and he sucks, got really drunk and pulled his usual shenanigans. he likes to get beligerant and harass my friend who he dated at one point but who cant stand him.  he followed her around. shed hide behind me, id tell him to leave, and as soon as i turned around hed be back in the door.  in between all of this he was grabbing and trying to kiss every girl at the party. 

after i told him to leave a third time, he came back in the back door, and cornered my friend, and started touching her. it was obvious that it was very unwanted, so i picked him up by the back of his shirt and his belt loop, and roadhoused him out the front door.  i said i was sorry but he gave me no choice. cause as much as he deserved it, i hate hurting people. its why i dont box anymore. 

he came back yet again.  that was the last straw. i told him "two ways this can go, you go outside, or we go outside. whats it going to be?".  im not known for saying cool or intimidating things, but i thought that was a good one.  and it worked. ive seen him since and he appologized. i told him i still dont want to see his face at my house again.

after all of this i thought the excitement was over. but no.  my friend pointed out noise coming from my bedroom.  i went down, and it was locked. i yelled "open the fucking door". because frankly i dont want people fucking in my bed. can you blame me? i banged on the door for a few minutes. they came out. i told him to get the fuck out of my house and called him a disrespectful prick.  he said "fair enough". and left. was that the end...afraid not.

the guy who thought it would be awesome to fuck on my bed is a close friend of my roommate.  i told him the guy wasnt allowed at the house anymore, and he argued with me.  i told him i wasnt having this argument while he was drunk (i only had one drink all night), I started to walk away, and he grabbed me by my shirt with both hands. i said "ive had a long night. think about what youre doing. you dont want to touch me right now." or something like that, and probably a lot less intimidating. he let go. i walked away. and slept on the couch.

the next day i flipped my mattress and washed my bedding. gross.

parts of it sucked, but that first two hours of people acting like adults at a party was totally worth it.  im getting too old for the college town.
