peach fuzz buzz

by far the stupidest title I have come up with. I think it arose from this flyer I saw for a band called "the moldy peaches," which is a pretty stupid name. but band names are just more and more stupid all the time. now it's reeeally trendy to have band name starting with "the:" the white stripes, the darkness, the faint, the brave, bla bla bla. it seems to be heralding back to a time in the 60's and 70's when lots of bands had "the" names: the who, the the, the band, the beatles, the eagles, creedence. wait, scratch that, reverse it. not credence.
gavin's brother just changed his band name from "huzzavox," which I kind of liked, to "raw." jesus christ. I am not even going to go into that one.
all it brings to mind is wrestling and bad new rock. of course, is it really worse than the brother's previous band names: romeo blue, sudden attack, swift justice? gag.
okaaaaaaaay, enough ridicule at teh expense of the boyfriend's brother. I actually really like him and enjoy seeing him play. I need to stop being such a snob.
speaking of snobbery, apparently I am a movie snob, a title branded upon my humble little shoulders by more than one person. it's definitely genetic, in that my brothers and I all have a certain selective taste in movies, and smell the bullshit of romantic comedies and hollywood token action and "hipster" movies a mile away. people usually tell me that movies I have no interest in seeing have some kind of redeeming qualities. like they're entertaining. picking scabs and reading about sappy real-hollywood romance is also entertaining, but they are not things that I need to be occupying my time with. take the remake of "the manchurian candidate" with denzel washington. I like denzel, but like tom cruise and tom hanks he is caught playing the same character over and over again, just in different surroundings. denzel often plays some kind of family man, some guy who is part of the system but rises above it to save his children/bring down a government conspiracy while using his cunning and smarts. he's blunt, and sees things for what they "really" are. tom cruise always plays these really attractive guys who have tons of bravado (either from the very beginning, or they had bravado, lost it due to some incident and throughout the movie regain it, pulling in at least one woman in the process who would do anything for a piece of that bravado ass). these guys have attitude and a bit of the "fuck the man, I'll do it my way" mentality. tom hanks always plays smart dudes who are a bit nerdy and not the hot guy on the block, but who inspire those around them and have this endearing santa clause sort of quality that makes them the one person you want to have as a next door neighbor.
apparently that rant (which I have laid upon at least one person in the past) is what makes me a movie snob: I am close-minded towards certain types of movies from the get go because I see something formulaic in them that reeks of boredom and mindless entertainment. hot chick, explosions, cocky guy you love because he is so cocky and doesn't give a fuck, some kind of pulling at heart strings, bad guys overcome. the end.
so while the central aspect of my work in my studies is to increase my sensitivity, my ability to see and perceive, in areas like science, learning, politics, motion and martial arts, and the science of the mind in general, I am going to plunge ahead with my movie snobbery with full steam ahead. fuck it. if anything I will become more opinionated as time goes on...
this rant is tiring and I am at work and shouldn't be ranting like this. damn hormones.
selah, H
