THE CAPTAIN'S LOG

Why I Weep for my Generation..

I know its been a long time since I rapped, but its been time well spent. I took up espanol as a second language, and I bought the Nightmare on Elm Street box set.

As many of you probably don't know, my birthday is next friday, and I've planned a weekend chalk full of mayhem and debauchery. Leave your gramma's at home unless their down with intraveinious fun!

Heading to austin for the weekend of course, kicking it with the friends of last fall... its going to be great to see signs of intelligent life again. God knows Arlington is lacking in that particular area.

I feel like an elitist asshole when I answer the question: "What do you think of the band Yellowcard?" First of all... I refrain from discussing music for this very reason.. but I have no choice but to reply: "Well they were cool a few years ago, back when I went to college... but the video age cheapens what could've been decent music."

Now I'm not one of those "I only listen to underground music." assholes... but it seems the bands I listened to in 2002 are becoming quite the hot topics (no pun really intended, you draw your own conclusions on that gem).

In short, new music is quite quite quite shitty... and I will have no part in it.

Gimme some Led Zepplin, Rush, or Stevie Ray Vaughn, and I'm content. Call me cliche... but I'll call you a douche right back. Aint no thang but a chicken wing on a string, right??

I can't draw the very things that define my generation... and thats sad. I look at people my age as "they" and I want no part of what their on. Its about suntans, or crappy indie bands (if you use anything that makes your voice sound different and electronic, save it hustla... Frampton did that decades ago, and you're unoriginal.) Kids are shallow, and I can't figure out why people can't see it. I don't mean to generalize... but I see what I see.

Even the people who actually read books, read shitty ones like the Da Vinci Code, with an accomplished look on their face when for a moment they think they're almost an intellectual. People... the Da Vinci Code was written on a 7th grade reading level.. its a fact... so you can put those fake glasses aside for the time being... you'll get a headache.

Movies today suck, and I'm afraid I have to say it... Troy is a piece of shit without me even having to see more than a trailer. Van Helsing, well you know how that goes... and Ben Stiller... he's really overrated and completely un-fucking-funny. Will Ferrel, god bless him, is the only savior of comedy in these dark times... and Anchorman is going to show how much of a bore Stiller is. Harry Potter: Prisoner of Azkaban was one of the only redeeming pieces of cinema this summer, and its based on a British import!

I can only stomach a handful of TV shows lately: Aqua Teen Hungerforce, Reno 911, Family Guy. DeGrassi is a fucking great canadian teen soap opera I can't pass up, and if you'll get sucked into it within one episode. And of course we got The Daily Show, a hilarious new show called Crossballs.... alot of Comedy Central is good... with exception of the puppet crank call show... thats stupid. Point made... there is some good television... but you need a dish to get to it... filter out all the Stone Phillips and Dr. Phils.

Goddammit... now I'm really in a tizzy!

I can't identify with the human race anymore... so maybe a change of country is what I need. The US of A can stick it where the sun doesn't shine... 'cause I'm jumpin' this sinking ship... hasta la vista, and you can Mc-suck it.

Thar's a possum on my fence, Brenda!

The Ninja, is signing off...

Sa Da Tay!
