long time no talky...

Hey!

I moved into a new apartment in Louisville yesterday. It is badder 'n ass, lots of space. I think I'm going to build a little recording studio in one of the big walk-in closets.

But yeah, I'm still alive and doing tings. Good talk!

tings and tings...

2008-02-08T19:02:53Z

I haven't posted on here since November? Well shit damn.

A brief catch-up:

I work Monday-Friday and don't get to go out too much during the week. I drink a lot, but I quit smoking cigarettes a month or so ago. Thanks to the office job and the non-smoking, I put on about 20 lbs. But I give no fucks, I'm back in the gym every day, getting ready for the tennis season. I'm planning to play a tournament in the spring and see how that goes. Don't worry, I have no dreams of being a tennis star, I just like to play against people.

My band is going to start recording next week, so I'll finally get something online for people to listen to. I've been secretly working on my own weird music at home when I get free time, so hopefully I'll have some of that up soon as well.

My coworkers are all baptists and I want to stab them repeatedly for the good of society.

So, things are good. That's about it.

HOLY SHIT DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT ACE OF BASE IS REUNITING?

WELL GODDAMN, WHERE THE FUCK DOES THE TICKET LINE START? I'LL TAKE TWO! BOTH FOR ME! BECAUSE THAT'S JUST HOW EXTRA-GREAT THEY ARE!!

okay, back to work now.

(edit- I apologize for this retarded post, but I was bored at work. And also, my new user icon is the shit)

How the fuck are you doing? I'm talking to you, people who I never see anymore because I quit being a bum.

REPORT!

2007-10-08T13:46:07Z

the people I work with are having a discussion about how humans have nothing to do with, and are not the cause of, global warming.

hmm.

2007-09-18T17:13:03Z

While I was outside at work taking a smoke break, I noticed three sweaty Mexican men across the parking lot unloading big heavy refrigerator equipment from the back of a pickup truck. They were wearing blue mechanical outfits (the gas station kind, not the big robotic exo-skeleton kind), and listening to the blaring truck radio.

"It's not unusual to be loved by anyone..."

It's moments like these that make putting clothes on every morning worth the bother.

oh, in other news, this is the kind of stuff I spend my day typing up at my job, in case you were curious-

Most of the things I do aren't related to blood storage. If only.

2007-09-10T23:54:28Z

I started my new job today. It is pretty freakin' awesome, far as having jobs goes. Nobody is over your shoulder counting the amount of minutes you spend working, and everyone seems to be genuinely nice. They all get along. It's weird.

I spent the first couple hours wandering around and shooting rubber bands at my friend Shawn's desk area (it has little models of Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower, "the shooting gallery")waiting for the boss to find a desk for me. I was getting paid for this.

Anyways, I really like it, and I like making lots of money. It's just really strange changing my whole life around, you know. I have a thing for drinking lots of whiskey and staying up until 4 a.m. every day. Now I'm in bed around 11 and up by 6:30 a.m.

But soon I'll have a new place in Louisville and you can all come party with me.

Well, not all of you. Just the cool ones. No guys.

let me work...

2007-08-23T01:27:50Z

So, the notoriously unemployed Brad Nugget has a job interview tomorrow.

It's for a computer job, working for a business that sells restaurant equipment online. My friend Shawn told me they were looking for people. The only thing is, it's the kind of job that requires a lot of knowledge on HTML, CSS, Excel, etc.

I have a lot of experience with HTML, but...I haven't messed around with that stuff in years. Dreamweaver makes it too damned easy. So I'm currently reading a bunch of HTML tutorials and trying to get ready for my interview in 12 hours. Also, I have band practice tonight.

Sleep is for the weak. If I get this job, I will buy drinks for those whom have bought me drinks. Karma.

SO.

I'm not sure if any of you guys have seen/heard this yet, but it is the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Well, it's the most amazing thing I've seen in the past two days, for SURE.

His name is Tay Zonday, and he is my hero. And with a voice like that, you can only assume that he has 27 testicles AT LEAST. Click the lj-cut, sit back, and enjoy, bitches.

A homeless man at the library just offered me $1 million so my band could record an album.

I told him I'd think about it. I figure I should talk to the band before I sign anything.

Are there any other normal guys out there (like me?) who have weird, clingy, male followers?

I'm just curious if I am in this boat alone.

Please, feel free to share your stories of "OMG why won't this guy stop calling me at 3:30 in the morning to ask what I'm doing?! We barely know each other!! OMG again."

2007-05-03T01:57:48Z

Christian guy sitting next to me at the coffee shop just slammed a bible on top of a roach, turned to me, and blankly stated, "I hate those things."

It was pretty creepy. I only mention the Christian aspect because he always carries a stack of biblical texts around with him.

uhm. In other news, Quimby got a practice space for the band, and it will be open to us on June 1st. So get ready, bitches. We're going to be bigger (and hairier) than KISS.

2007-04-10T23:38:05Z

Some people are putting together a benefit show for Mike Welch, and it's taking place at the Brick House this Sunday. I'm not sure who is playing, but it's definitely a good cause. Come give support and moneys!

I'm apparently playing an acoustic set. Up until a few minutes ago, I thought Jody and I were going to be playing together. But...no! So be warned, most of what I play will be songs that I've written between now and Sunday, but I'll try my best not to jack it up too bad. I mean...I will rock for you.

i'll repost when I find out what time the show starts.

fuck don imus...

2007-04-10T01:50:13Z

So in case you haven't heard (or don't care), that elderly bastard of a radio show host Don Imus recently got into some trouble for making extremely fucked up, racist comments about the female players in the NCAA Women's Championship Game. Which brings us to-

Chris Rudy: can i get a "fuck don imus" over here?
Me: Fuck him.
Me: I've always hated that guy.
Me: And even more so now.
Chris Rudy: i was like, 9.9 out of ten pissed until i read his apology
Chris Rudy: then it was 12.7
Me: I haven't read it.
Me: Don't really care too, because it would probably piss me off more.
Chris Rudy: hes all "i'm really a good dude, i have a ton of black friends and i have a ranch for autistic kids!"
Me: HE KEEPS AUTISTIC KIDS PRISONER ON A RANCH?!?
Me: WTF.
Me: Does he sell them?
Me: I bet they're black autistic kids.
Me: for real.
Chris Rudy: i just shot warm beer out my nose
Me: haha
Me: I win.
Chris Rudy: you need to live journal that
Chris Rudy: nut correct my typos
Chris Rudy: but

i win!

Me: Body: "ID LUV TO CHAT WITH U ON YAHOO, MY SN IS NODERBOY..... "
Jody: haha
Jody: DO IT
Me: email address is CUDDLE_SLUT@g****.com
Me: I am going to fuck with this person so hard.
Me: Not literally, though. yet.

In other news, cats love me. It's kind of mutual.

2007-04-03T00:15:20Z

Our show was pretty rockin', in case you missed it. We had the "haven't played a show in a lonnnng time" nervousness going on, but I think we did a pretty good job for our first show.

There will be MANY more to come, bitches. Also, if anyone has any pictures of us from the show, send them my way. I'm pretty sure there are no real pictures of me playing music in existence.

Anyways, we're gonna be recording some new stuff soon, I'll let ya'll know about that later.

also...if Ohio St. wins tonight, I'll be making some cash. So root for Ohio St. for me, even though they're gonna lose HARD.

2007-03-29T01:01:49Z

Sitting outside of some shitty open mic last night, there was this 20 year-old kid with a "Jesus Was Jewish" t-shirt on who sat down and started talking to me and Jody.

He found out we were in a band and started talking about crappy indie rock bands and explained to us how the Beatles got together.

It was cute. but i guess you kind of had to be there. that is all.

p.s. show on friday, you know.

tongues...

2007-03-26T23:35:22Z

Talking to Chris about my show with Jody on Friday-

Me: We're still gonna rock, though. We're so unpracticed, but I think we know the songs well enough to rock.
Me: You're gonna be there, right?
Chris Rudy: date again?
Me: Friday!
Me: It starts at 6. So we'll probably play at like...7 or something.
Chris Rudy: yes, KEEP REMINDING ME
Me: I am!
Me: Hey Chris.
Chris Rudy: wha?
Me: Show Friday. Free pancakes, free love, free rock.
Chris Rudy: WHOA
Me: BYOP.
Chris Rudy: !
Chris Rudy: IDHAP
Me: YCGS!
Chris Rudy: OIWBPFE
Me: JBSMFP!
Chris Rudy: GDIDHAP!!!!!
Me: wow, this is pretty impressive.
Chris Rudy: we rule
Me: Yes. I feel the urge to post this on my Livejournal to see if anyone else understands. Perhaps I will.
Chris Rudy: you totally should
Chris Rudy: RLY

We pretty much rule.

also, Jody and I have changed our band name to "Covered in Bees." I feel bad for offending some christian girl and a couple baristas.

The pregnant women sitting outside the coffee shop chuggin' coffee and chain-smoking is starting to make me question the future of humanity.

2007-03-21T00:49:09Z

So, it has been announced that the Police are going to be playing in Louisville (Churchill Downs) in the near future.

I've always been a fan of the band, and when they announced the new tour I immediately checked the dates to see if they were coming near this area. They were not, and I was sad.

But here's the thing. Tickets start at $50 and go as high as $325.

Maaan, the only band I would pay that much to see is the Beatles. And only if those one guys weren't dead. I hate it when rich people charge you so much to come clap for them.

shows with musicians playing songs...

2007-03-19T01:31:14Z

Jody and I are playing a show in a couple weeks. You should be there, assuming you like music and art.
