no personal crisis today. just some updating. i've posted two new songs that aren't really that new. we've been working on recording them for the last month or two. i'm listening to the new manson album on myspace. it's good - better than eat me, drink me - but still just doesn't have that manson catch that antichrist, mechanical animals, and holy wood had. that's gonna take some more effort on his part. he can still scream like the old days, for anyone who wondered that after the last album. in short, High End Of Low is certainly more confident than the last one, but i feel some of the subject matter isn't the best he can do. i think he's got it in him still to come back. he just has to find that little nerve to tug on. oh, and he let his eyebrows grow back for the first time in years. he looks much younger with them. like 20 years younger.

i know i have a lot of pending messages and other shit from everyone in my inbox. a few hundred to be precise. i'll reply to them all at some point; i'm a little overwhelmed right now. and i don't mind about a million more from everyone saying "it's okay, just take your time" or "fuck you, you stupid asshole; thanks for ignoring me!" that's fine.

also, to give my regards to the alabama kid.

*ahem*

FUCK YOU.

let's conduct an experiment. i'm going to say:

"Kill in the name of our dead presidents, all you young impressionable children."

let's see if any of the stupid fuckers do it.
