A public service announcement.

Good day silencenauts (yes, that term again) I've got something new to report, something new I've done


... I peed in the sink.

That's right, I said it, and I did it.

I peed in the fucking sink, and guess what- it was the greatest urination of my entire life.

For you female readers- you may disregard, unless you're into crouching on top of your sink on a regular basis. Fellow manfolk- peeing in the sink is 1,000,000 times easier, quicker, and better than peeing in your toilet.

this is how I see it, your sink is usually at waist level with your body, meaning you don't have to let your little fellow hang there like a sloth from a tree.




Now, the cleanup is easier as well.

If you've ever woken up with a full bladder, like Hoover Dam type stuff. You go to the bathroom, and spend two minutes standing there, staring at your junk and the toilet.




What happens with that giant spurge of urine? It bounces on you occasionally. Making your leg covered in urine, and often the floor.

Not with the sink, you point and a steady stream goes right down the drain.





Now unless your sink is set back a good ten inches, you can make peeing in the sink easily.

It's not as gross as you might think either- urine is a sterile substance, and if it still disgusts you, just dump some water in the sink around the edges and stuff, it'll be good as it was before you unleashed your water beast into lake sinkalot.

So fellow males- do me a favor:

PISS IN YOUR SINK

Have A Night.

So, I think it's been a good day, fair to say.

I woke up, did some normal chores, and sat around.
Mike came by, we hit up some Subway, came back to my house, watched an episode of Arrested Development, and he bailed.

Around 6 or so- Fred calls, and asks if I want to go to a show in Champion with him, I'm down (but broke). He picks me up, and he doesn't know where the hell we are going.


We are near an intersection by my house, Fred is turning and a car comes out of nowhere and narrowly misses hitting us, an early premonition.

About five minutes later (while Fred is trying to find route 5) a deer jumps across the road five feet in front of the car.

After a while, we find that we are FAIRLY lost, and don't know where the hell we're headed. Fred is being super-silent, and apparently super-scared. To make matters better- me captain optimistic, I brought CD's along, and I'm just changing CD's, listening and relaxed while he feels lost.

We pull into the ghetto of West Market Street... WRONG CHOICE.
So, we're driving around W. Market Street looking for SOME place to pull into and ask for directions, and we see a drive through.

Fred pulls in and stops the car, no door.
This older Indian fellow signals us over to the window, and with his angry, thick accent gives us directions, we get in the car and get the fuck out of there!

We find our way to the show, hang out with Carly, Kara, and Nolan- and eventually leave and I get home around 12:30.

Now, here I am with some Diet Pepsi, getting some tired going on.

Have a good one - Josh.

Albums Reviews.

So, if you read one of my earlier posts, I talked about albums I'm gonna start checking out, and listening to.

http://theinnovationofsilence.blogspot.com/2008/02/albums-i-plan-to-listen-to-starting.html

I've listened to four albums since then, and I figured I'd lay down my opinion on them.

I figured I'd give a little review over each of them, tell you what I thought.


1. A Love Supreme - John Coltrane
























I've been getting into Jazz lately, and so I figured- check out some John Coltrane, considered one of the greatest saxophonists of all time. I can't say I dug it as much as I dig "Walkin" by Miles Davis, or even "Kind Of Blue", but nonetheless- still a really great jazz record.

5.5/10

2. Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots


























I've heard a lot about this record, but never really listened to it- nor the Flaming Lips for that matter. I thought it was alright, though a lot of it was repetitive chords, and arrangements. I still though it knew how to innovate at moments and go fucking insane into weird synth tones and stuff. There weren't that many tracks that stood out to me, but the one that really did was the first track "Flight Test".

6.0/10

3. Welcome To The Cruel World - Ben Harper
























So this was Ben Harper's first "real" album. He did a demo a year earlier. You can really note that he didn't know what he was doing when you compare it to "Lifeline". I still think it's good, there were only a few standout tracks to me; "Walk Away", "Forever", and "Mommas Got a Girlfriend". The latter being very funny. The other tracks are kind of bland to me, really. Still, It's not a bad album for those three tracks alone.

5.5/10

4. Ágætis Byrjun, – Sigur Ros

























Ah, Sigur Ros- my least favorite Post-Rock band. I don't mean that in a bad way- I mean it because Post-Rock isn't exactly a dominated field. It's a field of very few talented musicians. I'm still listening to the album right now, so I can't say TOO much about it. It's good though, very jazzy on some tracks. My standout track so far is Ny Batteri which means New Battery. It's good though, also... kind of predictable. You won't need another Sigur Ros album to understand how this plays out. Still a good album. If you DO like Sigur Ros, then I recommend these artists:

Do Make Say Think
Explosions In The Sky
Pelican
Fly Pan Am
Godspeed You! Black Emperor

All really good bands.

5.5/10
