You know how sometimes there will be someone who dies young and people say: “what a waste, that person was a real talent.” You know, like River Phoenix or Buddy Holly or that four year old who could already juggle*? Well, I think a lot of people put the dude from Sublime in that category. OMG they were so good! The guy was super this or awesome that etc. etc. blah blah. I say fuck those people. Well, maybe not the four year juggler, but all the people who OD. I mean, how come we are supposed to feel all bad for them cause they could sing or act? You ever cry for a heroin addict psychology professor? Well, I have, but that was because I killed him. But you are missing the point.
These people had a chance to be very successful and killed themselves BY ACCIDENT. At least Kurt Cobain did it on purpose. And Keith Richards is STILL ALIVE. So the fact that this guy did drugs wrong is double stupid cause he had enough money to pay someone to help him to them right! Plus, there are a million poor suckers who died young and nobody called it a waste of talent. Stupid people and their love of famous people. Yeah, that means you! It is a good song, though. Poor guy. What a waste. Fuck! I just did it!

*I don’t know any dead four year old jugglers. That was a lie. I’m sorry.
Sublime – What I Got
Early in the mornin’
Risin’ to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I’ll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find a reason
Reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money’s all gone
I got a dalmatian
I can still get high
I can play the guitar like a mother fuckin’ riot
Well life is *too short* so love the one you got
Cause you might get run over or you might get – shot
Never start no static, I just get it off my chest
Never had to battle with no bullet proof vest
Take a small example, take a tip from me
Take all of your money, give it up to charity
Love’s what I got, is within my reach, and
The sublime style still straight from Long Beach
It all comes back to you, you bound to get what you deserve
Try and test that, you’re bound to get served
Love’s what I got, don’t start a riot
You’ll feel it when the dance gets hot
Lovin’ is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, now remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, I got, I got, I got
I don’t cry when my dog runs away
I don’t get angry at the bills I have to pay
I don’t get angry when my mom smokes pot
Hits the bottle then goes back to the rock
Fuckin, fightin’, it’s all the same
Livin’ with Louie dog’s the only way to stay sane
Give the lovin’, let the lovin’ come back to me
Cause lovin’ is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, And remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, I said remember that
Lovin’ is what I got, I got, I got I got
When them people come here, and they ask you who done this, you tell ’em “Mickey and Mallory Knox did it. Say it!”
I knew a four year old who could juggle… I don’t think he’s dead though. He’s probably not four anymore either.
If he died at four, he would forever be four! So maybe he is still four. I hope not, though, cuz dead babies is sadder than dead druggie rock stars.
this sure is one of the best actors the united states has to offer.
cool movie, dumb band.
