Too Particular?

When something is funny to me it means that I find it both interesting and curious. When I say something is funny it doesn’t necessarily make me laugh. I guess I should stop saying that I think things are funny when I’m actually saying they are otherwise something else entirely. I choose not to be that descriptive when I talk though. Words that I use often have several meanings and in my mind fitting in the simple words into a more complex structure is much more important to me than actually using the specific word for the case. That is how I am interacting with language when I use it anyway. I want my sentence to be a joke, the correct direct answer or response, and include several layers of sarcasm. Many you won't get until hours later. So I tend to hate people who are particularly descriptive. Using insane words that nobody else even knows unless they are a world literature major. Those people aka the grammar mafioso don't interact with language. They treat it like a rock. But it's more than a rock. Well it’s not that I hate them; I just want to not only understand what you’re saying, but I want to know how you feel about what you're saying. But I don't want you to tell me, not directly anyway. And if you won't allow for the rules to be bent I doubt you'll get to interact with the language too much. Why does language have to be exact for you? Why can’t things be left unsaid, or under described? You can’t describe everything, you know that right? So stop trying.

Language is a very funny topic. So you know I mean that it’s very curious right? Just checking. For instance: take something that you think that you know and try to describe it to a child. Go to wikipedia and type in the word love. You can read all 8 pages if you’d like to, but I’d rather you spend the time reading my blog, so I’ll just pick out a choice phrase that I found funny. (Checking again)

Love is lust attraction and attachment. That’s it. Plain and simple. Or is it really? I don’t have an official explanation of what I think Love is, but I doubt I would have used the words lust, attraction, or attachment. Wikipedia goes on…

“lust, attraction, and attachment. Lust exposes people to others, romantic attraction encourages people to focus their energy on mating, and attachment involves tolerating the spouse long enough to rear a child into infancy.”

If I had to explain what love was I could use words to do it. But they just wouldn’t be enough. They wouldn’t even come close to hitting the mark. If I had to explain what love was I would grab the person in my arms, and never let them go.

Language is alive. It is not dead. It is also an experience. Those are the only rules. And sometimes when I'm telling someone where I was yesterday, I say me and Tim, and sometimes I say Tim and I. It's really a judgment call, and grammatically
speaking, grammar does not bear any weight on intelligence.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I can show you something I made last month when I saw the FloBots video for the song called “Handle Bars.” I took a porno featuring Jenna Jameson, Tera Patrick, and Brianna Banks called Pretty Bitches. I made it look like a cartoon. In the small player, it’s a bit hard to see. But there I go again using language to describe something that you’d have to see for yourself to really understand.

It has come to my attention

It has come to my attention that there are two types of people in this world. Guys that will ask before they fuck you, and guys that just fuck you. I say the term guys, because it grabs your attention. But girls you're in here too. So when I use the word guys, I mean to say guys and girls, but I'm not going to be saying that. And I know some women take offense to that. Calling them dude and whatnot. But c'mon dude....

Let's talk about the topic:

Guys and girls (there I did it one time) that want to fuck you. All guys, girls, children, and the old want to fuck you. Because it is in our nature to fuck. And so we all set out to do just that. Fuck can mean so many things. And I'm not talking about physical fucking. I'm talking about fucking the old way. The way it was meant to be done, with your mouth. It is because of this very reason that all guys, children, and the old want to fuck. They want to fuck you, before you fuck them. Those fuckers.

But you yourself just by being part of that very same species, will by mere chance be thrust into a situation where you get to do all of the fucking onto another. And they must lay there and be sub-serviant to your wanton wit and devious desires.

"Not me Jason. I'm not a fucker."

"Yea you are"

So you're a fucker. Nice to meet you, I'm one too. You're just like the rest of mother earth. You only have one choice in the matter really. How you fuck. That's all you have to decide.

Some people take pleasure in getting permission to fuck other people. Hearing them say "yes fuck away."

Some people don't care for that mess. And those people do it without your knowledge. Always fucking you behind closed doors. You're asleep, you don't even know that you're getting fucked, but there they are those fuckers, always fucking you.

Some of us get so good at both styles of fucking, that's all we do. We fuck all day. Everyone and everything we know.

I love the whole lot of us. Well except for retards and midgets.

The Best Band Ever

Every month I Jason Reed find a new band and proclaim it to be the best band ever. And this month's band is no different. They're a new group out of Seattle, WA called Fleet Foxes.

What a refreshing sound out of this ensemble.



I cannot stop listening to the new best band ever. They're a cross between The Shins(which isn't a wonder because they're on the same label), The Beachboys, and Bob Dylan. I know that combination doesn't sound like it would make any sense, but it really does.

In the past I have made several earth shattering predictions about the next big thing. And these guys are it. The proof as always is in the pudding. Click the link and enjoy the breath of fresh air.





Oh yeah and if you didn't know, or didn't bother to find out. Weezer put out their self titled Red Album on June 3rd. It's the best thing they've put out in a decade. You need to give it a listen. Well worth the twelve or thirteen dollars.

Weight of the world

Found this on the recorder the other day. This was the first take. The finished product got far away from this. I think the original feeling is in this one. Or am I wrong?




I promise a reel blog reel soon.

Recorded in Austin Texas August 2005

This is Dustin Ingram, you may know him as Statutory D. He let me rap with him on this track too. Can you believe it?

Check it out. It's one of my favorites.
