All Over The Place

i recently finished reading heavier than heaven ... it's a biography of the late kurt cobain ... for those who don't know he was nirvana's lead singer ... actually he was basically nirvana ...
it was definitely very interesting ... cobain started out very poor ... he grew up in a white trash kind of environment ... he never really had a family after his parents got divorced ... at certain points he was homeless ... he even worked as a janitor for a while ... he lived off his girlfriend for many years ... and he was constantly using drugs and alcohol for most of his life ... as a result he was very messed up ... he had some pretty strange obsessions like feces for example ... but after the success of his band he was living in the same neighborhood as the ceo of starbucks ... however it was not a rags to riches story ... he was still very unhappy ... he got married to courtney love and they had a baby together ... but he was never happy even after the success of his band ... and ultimately in the end heroin was his demise ... as we all know he committed suicide ... if there is a point to this book ... it's don't do drugs ... especially heroin ... just look what it did to kurt cobain ... but anyway i do recommend the book ... it's really good ... you don't have to be a nirvana fan although it would certainly help ...
i'm reading confessions of an economic hitman now ... it's also a non-fiction book and it's written by a former "economic hitman" ... definitely very interesting ... there's even a chapter in there about saudi arabia ...

in other news ... i bought a lot of furniture this month ... i got a sweet bed from ikea ... it's huge ... that was the only thing i got from there because the place is too expensive ... well i also got a nightstand from there but that was cheap ... only like $20 ... i got a tv stand and a bookcase from a different store called saco ... those who live/lived in saudi probably know it ... anyway they're delivering the bed today ... no more sleeping on the floor woohoo ... the rest of the stuff is coming next week ... i got a fridge ... i got speakers for my iPod ... i got a water heater ... i got a bunch of other random junk ... i still need to buy a desk ... and a table ... and possibly a couch although i'm considering getting beanbags instead ... but i ran out of money so i'll buy those next month nshala ... my car should be coming in the next few days so i can't wait for that ...
once my place is all furnished and ready i'll post a little video where i take you on a tour of the place ... so stay tuned for that ...

saw this movie last night called people i know ... it's basically al pacino ... hardly anyone else speaks or appears during the movie ... and it sucked ... it really sucked ... don't watch it ... seriously ... don't ... pacino even has a southern accent in the movie (he's supposed to be from georgia) ...
