what's the first band you fell in love with? and i mean truly and deeply head over heels in love with. the answer for me is Green Day. in 4th grade, my mom bought the album nimrod because she liked the song time of your life. lets see, 4th grade, 1999? yes. anyway, she really liked that song and my cd collection at the time consisted of the backstreet boy's millenium and a couple of the now cds. maybe now 7? so i was like, can i listen to it? i remember very cleary she goes, "yeah, time of your life is good the rest is garbage". so for however long it was i stayed away from the "garbage". but curiousity killed the cat, and i took in the whole album. holy shit. you want to talk about life changing. blew my fucking mind. from then on green day became religion. i scooped up as much as i could. i remember seeing the video for minority on mtv and thinking it was the coolest fucking thing in the world. and it was. i remember blasting international superhits in my room, but being careful to turn down the volume real quickly when he said, "a free for all, fuck em all", and then continuing on. i was like 10 or 11. i was flirting with obsesity and kind of a loser. but whatever, i had my green day. 6th grade would come, i would find a band called blink 182, and the rest is history. green day and blink 182 for years were my top two favorite bands. choosing between them was like how parents say they can't choose between their kids. it wasn't until much later that another band would consume me the way those two did, say anything, but fast forward to 2004. freshman year of high school. american idiot came out. and no, i'm not going to go on a little rant about how blah blah i liked green day before anyone did blah blah. cause first of all, that's so not true. and also that's just so fucking pretentious i hate when people do that. and yes, i used the word pretentious. did i look up how to spell it? no i did not. i'm going to assume that i got it right, and if i did, then fuckign alright. anyway, american idiot is a great album. an amazing album. top 5 desert island records that i'd take with me, american idiot is probably on that list. jesus of suburbia is an insane song. levels beyond anything out there. then of course came september 1st, 2005. my first concert. what a fucking concert. billie joe had 60,000 people under his finger, it was almost a religious experience for me. fucking awesome. so why the history of my love for green day? may 15th. new album. it's been 4 years since the last green day record. its time to get my fix. do yourself a favor and get pumped.

what happens when you get really broke? like really fucking broke? you join the porn industry. i saw a listing on craigslist. i was tempted. really temped. am i gonna do it? i doubt it. but still, i seriously thought about it. i really don't have any shame. i saw someone clicked on an ad! thank you! 16 cents in my pocket. by the way, i figured out that my little counter thing, is right. we're hitting about 1000 hits daily. cue we are the champions. i totally thought the only people reading this were chris, billy, jay, and sometimes gelston. i remember frawley commented once on something, and i got really excited. is anyone out there? how about this, lets play a little game. if you read this, i want you to comment. and a lot of websites they get hundreds of comments on each thing. and thats fine. mine haven't been quite utilized. maybe i never advertised them or something. who cares, not important. so how about this, i'll give you a sentence to say. it'll go...Hi, my name is (insert name here...your name...insert your name), and I think Andrew Southard is the baddest motherfucker alive. cause not only will i be like oh hey this person reads it! but i'll also be like hey they think i'm the baddest motherfucker alive! so i'll just be pumped as shit. or, i was right, and only chris, billy, jay, and not even gelston look at this. chris has this whole conspiracy theory that the ip addresses get fucked up in college or something, so maybe thats it. either way, do you feel lucky? well do you, punk? go ahead, make my day.

so a couple little changes to the site. nothing exciting. yes, those are advertisements to your right. yes, i have sold out. and yes, i still am the fucking man. so hey, if theres something that interests you, click it. if not, don't. they'll probably be gone in a week anyway as i'll find out they're a waste of my time. but maybe not. also, just for my interest, there is a little counter on the bottom. wow. certain days i reach a 1000 hits? i dunno if that's good or bad, but it sure does sound good. and in february there was this huge spike? were they that interesting in february? hm well the whole blink thing was going on. am i a possible source to some people for blink news?? honored and thrilled. yes i repeat, honored and thrilled. or that thing could just not work and it's all bullshit. either way, honored and thrilled. check out the season finale of eastbound and down. the first episode was really funny, the middle episodes not so much, but this one was pretty fucking funny. its online, watchtvsitcoms.com. but thats megavideo so i just ovguide.com it and see what i can find. later.

i've got a couple goals for the weekend. first off doing my paper on radiohead's album in rainbows. very, very good album, and i really like the class i have to write it for so i want to do good. the thing with radiohead is that it's music without boundaries. they totally aren't held down by any genre or style, whether it be electronic, alternative, none of that. not that there is anything wrong with that but still it's refreshing to get this completely abstract but yet awesome music. as you can see i'm already mentally prepping for this paper. i'm also starting to think of some renovations for lifeinsideandrewshead.com. maybe a new banner? maybe some other cool stuff? would it be lame to join twitter? mark hoppus and kevin smith have one. we'll see. oh and my bracket, i've got binghamton going all the way. do i know shit about college basketball? no i do not. but who cares, i've got the bearcats. look for the upset against duke tonight.

i saw watchmen. it definitely had its good moments. there were parts that i was really fucking into and i was like wow this is a great movie. opening credits were awesome. thats not a knock at the film either, really great opening credits. bunch of great other scenes. i felt like in the end the story just didn't really work for a film. definite valiant effort and a step up for zack snyder's career. i thought the nite owl was the most fascinating character. the comic was written during the 80s way before nolan's batman, and this character was like an ode to an earlier version of batman. like almost the corny guy that he used to be but a different look at him. very interesting. will it go down as the best comic movie of all time? of course not. but not bad.

jets, get working now. jay cutler wants to be traded. you give up your first round pick if you have to. cutler has the potential to be the best quarterback in the league and right now i'd say is definitely in the top 5. top 5 qbs? peyton manning, donovan mcnabb, tom brady, jay cutler, and ben roethlisberger. notice eli manning is not on that list. but yeah, he's what, still 25 years old? are you serious? if the jets get him now, that's it. we're automatic favorites in not only the afc east but i'll say the afc. fuck it, the fucking nfl we're super bowl favorites. GET JAY CUTLER. NOW.

well, i ended up giving up on that essay at around 2, but then woke up early and beasted it this morning. and early i mean like 11 considering my class was at 215. well we go from an intense essay on a streetcar named desire to having to storyboard tonight, which is a fun thing to do. important though, very important. i'm looking to shoot my little 3-8 minute masterpiece early in april. that'll give me like a solid month to edit. i'm pretty much gonna end up living in the computer lab at hte film department. that's one thing that's exciting about this whole process, like when i did the jacob burns thing in pleasantville i could only edit twice a week, here i'm gonna have as much time as i need for a month. can be a good, can be a bad. only time will tell. also, good job to the young islanders tonight in a hard fought game. even though they lost i was very impressed with them.

it looks like watchmen comes out this friday. i can say i'm genuinely excited to see this movie, i mean it looks fucking awesome. i haven't read the graphic novel which at first really bothered me but then i figured hey, maybe the story might be more dynamic if i've never experienced it before. so all in all, i'm pumped to go to the movies this friday. imax maybe? why not, as long as it's not the fucking WHITE PLAINS SHITHOLE THEATER. oh boy just thinking about it makes me so fucking angry. don't make me tell my superman story. i'm sure i've said it billions upon billions of times, but you know what? they fucked up. THEY fucked up. and they continue to fuck up and overprice me. so fuck them, on the pros and cons of the great town of white plains new york, the movie theater is number one on my top 5 things that suck about white plains.

top 5 things that suck about white plains.

5. the people who work at italian pavilion. would it kill them to smile, ever? listen, i love the food at ip. love it. arguably the best pizza in white plains, but that unhappy group of pizza making drones seriously need to lighten up. why are they never happy? and when the dude from classico joined the team, the unpleasantness was just overwhemling.

4. the white plains police department. i know i sound really cool saying that, but seriously. all they do is drive around fucking around with people. like hey i have all the respect in the world for the people who protect us, but stop busting our balls. it's annoying.

3. ralph field. love/hate relationship. pretty much had to be on the list, but ralph field will always have a special place in my heart.

2. the dealers. i absolutely love my brooklyn guy. we go there, chill, smoke, hang out, it's not the goose chase that trying to get shit in wp is.

and finally

1. the white plains movie theater, as explained above

point of story? yes 5 things suck about white plains, but the haf galons run that shit.

dag i really went almost a week without writing a new liah. not good. well, it's currently snowing up a shitstorm. or shitting up a snowstorm? i'm sure either way that makes no sense, but either way i'm not going to class tomorrow. with 8-12 inches of snow the last thing i want to do is wait an hour for a subway to be an hour late to class only to find out that i'm the only one there. so not happening. it's march though, doesn't that mean it's supposed to be warmer? i guess not. in like a lion out like a lamb that's the expression i believe. and somehow i keep writing with like my subjects and predicates all fucked up. grammar! it's important people. except capital letters. fuck capital letters.
