do who you want to, look what it got you

Any Other Way
Theory of a Deadman
“You’ve tried to open your mouth but only shit would come out
I always wondered where you got it from
You haven’t heard a damn word I’ve said,
you never believed in anything I did
I don’t care what you’re doing,
do what you want to, look what it got you
You can’t help yourself
I know you’ll never change
You say you don’t need anyone
And wouldn’t have it any other way
Just try to open your eyes and try my life on for size
I always wondered who you’re hiding from
You haven’t heard a damn word I’ve said,
you never believed in anything I did
I don’t care who you’re doing,
do who you want to, look what it got you
Well you can’t help yourself
I know you’ll never change
You say you don’t need anyone
And wouldn’t have it any other way
Oh you made a big mistake, and won’t admit it
You say you don’t need anyone
Oh you made a big mistake, so don’t forget it
I know you’ll never change, and wouldn’t have it any other way
You can’t help yourself
I know you’ll never change
You say you don’t need anyone
You say you don’t need anyone
You say you don’t need anyone
You’ve tried to open your mind and leave your last life behind
I always wondered what you’re running from
Oh you made a big mistake, and won’t admit it
You say you don’t need anyone
Oh you made a big mistake, so don’t forget it
I know you’ll never change, and wouldn’t have it any other way
You say you don’t need anyone, anyway
You say you don’t need anyone, and wouldn’t have it any other way
You say you don’t need anyone, anyway
You say you don’t need anyone, and wouldn’t have it any other way”

hard rockin the audioslave
By Eric | September 30, 2002 1:10 am
Well, the weather service thingy was pretty cool, just a bunch of computers and instruments really, but still pretty cool…. Saturday night I picked up Adrienne and we did the drive aimlessly thing for awhile, then met up with Sara and Nate who were working at Hard Rock, about 11 a group of kids from the Niagara Falls HS homecoming dance rolled in, so we had entertainment for a while…. after Sara got off work we went to the bar in the Travellodge down the street. where me and Nate again played bubble hockey, and I got my ass kicked this time around… hehe. Sunday I got up late, then set to work on the Escort…. didnt plan to, but since my battery light was flickering on and off, I figured it might be good to look at. Yeah, turns out the fuseable links that control flow from the alternator to the battery were not in the best state of repair, so me and Dad tackled that…. got that done, and we were still able to watch the 2nd half of the Bills game! Went and picked up Chinese food for dinner, and after watching the end of the Chargers/Pats game, and Prime Time, I headed back for RIT. Got here, sat around a bit, Karl came over… made a quick Wegmans run, and came back to watch the end of the Seahawks slaughter of the Vikings over a couple beers…. quite relaxing! One episode of the Brak show and then Space Ghost, and its now time for bed…. zzzzzzz

5 minutes alone
By Eric | September 28, 2002 4:59 pm
” I see you had your mind all made up
You group of pitiful liars.
Before I woke to face the day,
Your master plan transpired.
-Something told me-
This job had more to meet the eye.
My song is not believed?
My words somewhat deceiving?
Now I’m unwhole.”

Elmwood with the GI folks
By Eric | September 28, 2002 12:05 pm
So friday I got home about 1:30, picked up Sara, and did the usual CD / Thrift store run around here, I found a Sevendust shirt and a Blues Brothers shirt…. ate dinner and messed around with the burner here at home with the parents…. and then went out with Sara, Nate and Adrienne to Mr Goodbar, met up with my old RIT buddy Mike DeDario, who is now going to Grad school at Georgetown, and he was up for the weekend. Since Nate is from Grand Island, he’s friends with Mike and a couple other GI people that Ive met over the years. After good bar we walked down to Heenan’s, and me and Nate put on a Bubble Hockey exhibition hehe.. I havent played that game in a long time, and I had a blast doing it…. We made the requsite Denny’s trip, and got home about 1:30… Had a pretty fun night 🙂
This morning I went with Mom to the bank, Farmer’s Market, Tops and then we hit a couple of the garage sales on our street. There’s some demonstration of the weather station at the airport this afternoon, so I guess we’re going to check that out… sounds kinda interesting 🙂

the last song
By Eric | September 27, 2002 1:29 am
The Last Song
The light that’s in your eyes,
like everyone wants it to be
Well can’t you see that it must be this way
Who knows who’s wrong or right,
just as long as your here tonight
Just like my mother,
always taking my likings away
When nobody’s watching us
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there
I miss the love, I miss the holidays
I miss my best friend, cheap cigars,
stupid kids and movie stars
and just like my father,
always taking my likings away
when nobody’s watching us
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
I missed the last song
I blame myself for just standing there too long
Why does it feel like this world is just not for us
Why does it feel like this world’s all they’ve got for us
Why does it feel like nobody’s watching us
I miss her sweet smell.
I miss it every day
I miss my best friend, cheap cigars,
stupid kids and movie stars
and I missed the last song and I miss you
and this time this one’s for us

Test? hah. If you wanna call it that. 🙂 Got back in about 45 minutes, watched TV, I got my Virgos CD’s in the mail today! yay! Both the Collapse EP and the full CD “The Path of Least Resistance”… I havent gotten through the whole thing yet, but so far its really good 🙂 Dan came over for a little bit and chilled with us also, and I just got off the phone with Dad… they bought a burner and in the process of making some audio Cd’s, Dad was getting a few more coasters than he thought he should be, so we discussed that… now it’s time to start some HW…
…but lest I forget, SOULFLY – WATER STREET – OCTOBER 10 – $20…. I’ve already got my ticket!!! Downthesun and Northside Kings are opening…
current mood: doing just fine
song: Virgos – Good Times
shirt: Tea Party / Transmission Tour

a slave to the tracklisting
By Eric | September 24, 2002 12:33 am
Jason posted this as a comment to the previous post, but I’ll give him (and it) top billing here instead… as reported by Epic Records themselves, new Audioslave news is as follows:
AUDIOSLAVE FANS —
The announcement you’ve been waiting for:
AUDIOSLAVE is band
featuring TIM COMMERFORD, CHRIS CORNELL, TOM MORELLO & BRAD WILK.
The band will release AUDIOSLAVE on NOVEMBER 19 containing
14 tracks — including the first single “Cochise.” THE FULL AUDIOSLAVE TRACKLISTING IS AS FOLLOWS:
1 Cochise
2 Show Me How To Live
3 Gasoline
4 What You Are
5 Like A Stone
6 Set It Off
7 Shadow Of The Sun
8 I Am The Highway
9 Exploder
10 Hypnotize
11 Bring Em Back Alive
12 Light My Way
13 Getaway Car
14 The Last Remaining Light
The way I figured it, of the 13 demo tracks that are floating around, some of the names arent changed, some can be inferred from the lyrics, and about 4 or 5 I have no idea on whatsoever…. and we’re getting a completely new song as well!! The way I see it, November 19th can’t come fast enough!

By Eric | September 23, 2002 1:44 pm
Eric: “That’s why at that point I have my windows down, blaring Pantera or Deftones or something, and yell out the window “$@#% YOU!”… so I look all badass….”
Joe: “Dude, how can you look badass in an Escort hatchback with a thousand stickers on it??”

“Like Steve McQueen
All I need’s a fast machine
I¹m gonna make it all right
Like Steve McQueen
Underneath your radar screen
You¹ll never catch me tonight…”
Just saw the Sheryl Crow video for “Steve McQueen”… what a cool video! Short of re-creating the entire “Bullit” chase scene, and then a motorcycle chase and a couple 70’s race cars…. plus Sheryl Crow is hot… hehe. But still, the car chase through SanFran was awesome…. oh yeah, the song is pretty decent too! hehe.
Damn, Bullit was a cool movie…. Thanks Dad for forcing me to sit down and watch it 🙂

a real canadian
By Eric | September 23, 2002 12:03 am
I headed out with Kelley for a little bit, I finally got to the new Tim Horton’s on Jefferson, and after being helped by a dumbass kid, Kelley got a real live Canadian cashier! hehe. When you buy a franchise, you get real authentic employees too! 🙂 hahaha. We then traveled to Genny Park, hung out a little bit, and I was able to retrieve my car. 🙂 Sat down and watched the Bills lose, made a Target run, and then me and Adam hit the Bug Jar for some underground metal… Jucifer… well, interesting, just a girl with a guitar and a drummer, and High on Fire was a 3 piece… pretty cool stuff. The review will be forthcoming 🙂 The Bug Jar is a hella small place though, its like watching a band play in your apartment, the place is really that tiny. (Makes Evening Star look huge!)
Not a whole lot else going on, it was a pretty low key day round these parts…. I’ll be giving Karl a lift to the Collision shop tomorrow morning…
