Crush With Eyeliner - or The One I Love (billboard)

Allo,

Chris Real here.

All I wanna do in life is rock, drink, fuck, wake up and talk about it for a couple hours with buddies/strangers who are willing to listen, and do it over again.

Sometimes my hair is black, sometimes it's blond... sometimes there's other assorted random colours in there as well.

There, now Blender Magazine can do a 14 page article on me without ever having to talk to me.
I won't be on the cover though... 'cuz I'm a dude.

Anyways...

I really hate Facebook... that has nothing to do with anything but I have to express that sentiment in any public forum that lets me.

For more on the above statement I have written an article and submitted it at
http://www.ihatefacebook.com/showthread.php?t=6

Erg, k, ANYWAYS...

I spend my entire life, literally every waking second, wondering what's more fucked up, the world or myself.

Lots of times while I'm thinking like this I have a guitar in my hands, and some of the results are nestled in that pretty pinkish-purple player over there----> erg, sorry, UP there ^^^^^

Writing songs is cheaper than therapy.

Everyone from doctors to relatives to friends tell me I should be on medication, but I'm not risking gov't mandated drugs taking away my creativity.

"That which nourishes me will also destroy me."

Angelina Jolie has that written on her... I think... it's in Latin. Speaking of messed up people.

This year I am in the process of making a rock record. A great record. That's not some grand statement about how I'm going to be famous and conquer the world... ALL real rock records are great... besides, most of the great rock records released in the past 5 years no one has heard... the Crystal Pistols and Todd Kerns and Robin Blacks of the world... Everyone's too busy downloading the latest brutal Fall Out Boy song to care. Things like that make me think it IS the world, and not myself.

Why I'm writing this is beyond me... how do you explain rock n' roll to someone who has never been there?

The songs are the most important ingredient I suppose, and some of them are on here... but I can't explain lasagna by saying 'noodles'.

I guess if rock n' roll could be explained it wouldn't be the cool, beautiful, vital thing it is.

On that note, I'm gonna stop trying to explain myself.

Much love.

Your friend,

Chris Real
