Today would have beenKurt Cobains birthday.

Pissed off about everything

Im such a nihilistic jerk half the time.

Im so fucking sarcastic at times and then at other times Im still vulnerable and so sincere.

Im just as pissed off about the things that made me pissed off a few years ago.

Theyre more just stories from TV or books or movies or friends.

But definitely the emotion and feeling is from me.

A request for fans

At this point I have a request for our fans.

Dont come to our shows and dont buy our records.

The way that they just wrote about their dicks and having sex.

And then punk rock was exposed and then it all came together.

It just fit together like a puzzle.

It expressed the way I felt socially and politically.

It was the anger that I felt.

Just watch a beer commercial and youll see what I mean.

And I just always felt that they werent treated with respect, especially because women are just totally oppressed.

I mean, the words bitch and cunt were totally common.

Thats the bottom line.

All I can do is scream into a microphone instead.

I would never do rap music.

Theres just no sense in it.

The people who do rap music do it just fine.

Im usually offended by people like Vanilla Ice and stuff like that.

The white man ripped off the black man long enough.

Thats the one thing that I know is not going to turn out bad.

I thought that might be the solution to my problem.

Happiness

I just hope I dont become so blissful I become boring.

I think Ill always be neurotic enough to do something weird.
