velvet revolver who?

i blog from distant lands this evening. i have finally run away from my students and will not be working tomorrow.

i just tried to dress up as an elf. didnt work. apparently i was bulging in the usual places (believe it or not).

so anyhow, on sunday i went to the mistletoe jam or whatever the fuck it is called. we got there to see the music, who doug has like an extreme hard-on for. they were pretty good. some kids afterwards asked doug who they were and said that the drum beats were all the same. i seriously feared for the kids life. doug almost exploded. they only played five songs. doug claims the firestorm is soon to come. anyhow, next was jimmy eat world. they played some lame christmas cover. nuf said. next came muse, the band i was most excited to see. i will soon be tatooing their names on my ass. they were that fucking awesome. seriously, if they ever come back to town i will be dragging everyone i know to the show with me. best live band i have seen maybe ever. seriously. they fucking rocked my pants off. then we had a fucking hour and a half break so that we could wait for the velvet ones to get stoned enough to come onto the stage to play their set. i maintain that the break was simply to lull us all into forgetting how fucking rad (thats right, rad) muse was. at any rate, they did finally make it onstage. their set was good. they did their thing. they rocked. however, i am just not the worlds biggest velvet revolver fan. now maybe if they had played like all gnr and stp stuff i would have dug it, but their own shit is kind of boring to me. however, as far as live bands go they were good. they jumped around and slash donned his trademark hat and ripped off a solo for mr. brownstone which was cool, but the highlight of the evening, besides watching doug hit on a 31 year old (successfully i might add, despite his amazing lack of game) was the 45 minutes of all out footstomping head banging rock from muse. that is all i have to say about that.

my picks went rather well this weekend i think. the college ones were a bit rough, but several of those relied too much on wishful thinking. i will pick with the spread next time. my nfl picks were solid. that is all of that.

yes well, i must now go attempt to resurrect my brief career as an elf. im sure you will all hear more about it. ta ta for now.
