Ellie does not want to party til she pukes

"Party til you Puke" came on the radio while driving home from taekwondo tonight. Triple J, why did you let someone request this rubbish?

I had the following thoughts while listening to it:

Andrew W.K thinks he's the Ramones. Not just Joey or Dee Dee, but ALL of them. The entire song consisted of three chords - two of which followed a natural progression, and one thrown in for fun I suppose. Classic Ramones. Except their guitar didn't sound like an over-distorted mess with too much reverb. Johnny's style was playing an unrelenting wave of chords that, when combined with the drums, gave the song a pleasing rhythm. And despite the fact that he played like that, there was still some subtlety to the whole thing. W.K's song is basically every instrument turned to 11 and never stopping, with very little regard to rhythm. I actually felt a migraine coming on after a while of listening to it.


Also, "party til you puke" was repeated thousands of times. What does that mean? What activities does the word "party" actually involve anyway? Judging from Andrew W.K's, video clips, jumping around with the cast of Jackass. So, jump around until you vomit? I imagine that is possible, if you eat a lot of food then jump around a lot. It would have the same effect as shaking up a Coke bottle. You could at least have the decency to pause partying and visit the lavatory. But no! Andrew W.K is suggesting you party until you puke, suggesting that you are partying and in the midst of your partying, you vomit. How disgusting! It will spray everywhere, and then everyone will be jumping/partying in it too. Yuck!

To sum up, Andrew W.K wishes he was the Ramones and has no regard for health and hygiene. Thankyou.


MEANWHILE, IN REAL LIFE...
Because I don't have anything better to do, and my black belt grading is coming up, I have been doing a gratuitous amount of taekwondo training.

In taekwondo, an important element is the 'ki-hap'. This, in short, means shouting while you execute a move. We do it to intimidate and scare the enemy and release energy. A lot of kids are scared to do it because they're embarrassed. I'm not anymore - our instructors encourage us to be loud, so I'm loud. I'm beginning to out-yell the boys, and even I'm getting a bit scared at how gutteral my scream is becoming.

Today, I found myself coughing a lot. "Oh bollocks," I thought, "I have some dehabilitating throat disease and now I'm going to get sick."

After taekwondo, and now that I've attempted to sing/shriek along to "Love Don't let me Go", I realised that I indeed don't have a disease. Rather, my throat is sore and I sound like a 50 ciggies a day smoker simply because I've been yelling too much.
