This weekend I went to a party at Marty's house. I have been buried in school, so I was looking forward to this shin dig all week. It's been a while since I really let loose, so I knew I was going get good and drunk. I accomplished that goal with a half pint of whisky and a bunch of PBR's. Everything was going well until I started talking to some kid about music. This "connoisseur" of music had no idea what he was getting himself into. Poor bastard. I find out that he is completely unaware that Modest Mouse had any albums before "Good News..." When I hear things like this I get excited and I always insist on immediately introducing them to a time when Modest Mouse wasn't a terrible band. I take on the role of a wise sage teaching the ignorant youth.
After a few minutes of "The Lonesome Crowded West" this kid says the new Modest Mouse material is SOOOO much better than the old stuff. Then he adds to my rage by trying to compare MM to the band Brand New. THEN, says that the new Brand New album is so much better than Modest Mouse, period. According to this kid Brand New have better lyrics than Modest Mouse. When I tell him he is retarded he gets really upset. I refuse to speak another word to this kid about music. I rudely shut him out, to his face. I am then threatened.
"I am so mad right now that I feel like punching you in the face!", is what he says to me.
"Go ahead buddy, I'll happily get punched before I even mention those two bands in the same sentence!", was my reply.
Nate... where were you? If you had been drunk at this party with me, god only knows what would have happened.
To end the story. There was a lot of yelling and cursing, but nobody got in a fight. Really though... for those of you who know of Isaac Brock's tendencies to get in a bar fight. Wouldn't a brawl have been fitting?? Maybe next time.
PS... Same kid informed us all that homosexuality is a choice. He was extremely rude to a couple of my gay friends. In his words, "Gay men just choose to be gay because they are afraid of women!"

Son of a bitch!!! I got hung up that night, and I never made it over there. I had every intention. Son of a bitch!!! I would've fucked that kid up. I think him just saying that he wanted to punch you in the face would've forced me to punch him in the face.
Furthermore, that son of a bitch is clearly not intelligent. Anyone who thinks Brand New is even comparable to Modest Mouse's early stuff wouldn't be smart enough to hold an intelligent conversation on homosexuality. This man has no right to have an opinion on anything, as he thinks "Good News..." is better than "The Lonesome Crowded West."
At the next party, I hope someone introduces me to him as the guy who hates good music. Then, I can sufficiently make him my bitch. Fuck that guy!
