___________________________________________
Over the years when ever I feel like being obnoxious, drop in Circle Jerks Group Sex. Every song has that teenage obnoxious feel to it, everything I lived with back in the day. Like the song Deny Everything, seems like something I would tell myself back in the day to get out of something stupid. Yeah back in the day I could be hella obnoxious for the stupidest things.

The obnoxious feeling in that song, carries over for me in to Wasted… because every time I’d wake up from a crazy night or when a girlfriend would get mad at me for drinking. I’d just fade away into my head to play that song over and over again (Maybe because its only like 43 seconds long)… that always made me laugh, no one should ever try to change anyone, it’s just a waste of time and energy.

And as things have been going on lately Live Fast Die Young, seems appropriate. Not that I’m suicidal or anything like that, just that people in general are pretty stupid if you ask me. So when it comes to the line “I don't wanna live, to be thirty-four, I don't wanna die, in a nuclear war” it seems very appropriate given the madness of life lately.

With this little gem I would like to say to everyone to PASS IT ON and to listen to the Pinata Hour
