White Line Fever a auto biography by and about Lemmy from Motorhead.
Quick review: This is what happens when you give a speed/coke freak a pen and then sit him down and convince him that his life was interesting enough he should write about it.
Only for true Motorhead fans or ex-groupies looking for ways to get in touch with the potential father to thier bastard child.

Long Review: Fuck we are talking about Lemmy from Motorhead. When I think about a rock star.... I don't think Lemmy but that is just me. Lemmys book is at times entertaining if you ever dreamed of being a rock star.
The only thing that is unusual about this book and Lemmy for that matter is his tenacity. Most people out grow parting their brains out night after night. Hell even I did. But every chapter in the book recronicles lessons shoulda been learned......... the first time around 20 times over.
But he just keeps trudgin along. He wins some he looses some, fires some band mates re-hires old ones only to fire them again. Gets sick goes on tour and fires a record labels, managers and or stage hands.
There are few books like this (that get published).
I found his ability to explain how he bought a refrigerator for the mother of one of his kids cause she didn't have one..... right after he met up with her again WHILE BUYING COKE, disturbing. Then doesn't ever mention that kid again a little sad... I wonder how he feels about it. Or how he saw his other son while in CA for one day then the kid (technically not a kid anymore) bugged out and just left his dad to chase a skirt. Like father like son.
Whatever.......... Lemmy is Lemmy his book is like most of his lyrics in coherent babble mixed with just a touch of truth and pain. He makes a couple of decent points here and there but mostly it is went here fucked a chick did some drugs and played AND WE ROCKED!!!
If you enjoy talking to interesting people on crack........... read this....... if not don't.

Ya so Hannami is a big deal here . The cherry blosumes come out and people go to the park and get drunk. No Really. I Japan there is a oneness with nature thing, but there is so little real nature here. So what to do? Well how about cram into a park, a small one.
The Japanese way is to cram together in small places, trains, buses, and parks the tighter the better. I wont even get into my morrning comute which is way chill compared to most.
Here are some pictures of the chaos. Knotice the Drunken Japanese every where pretty flowers and pizza delivery men.
check it out.
OK so I lost the Hannami pictures while exchanging my old phone for a new one and then back to the old one. Oh well here is a picture of what it looks like minus the crowds beer and pizzamen.
Houston we have a problem!

Ya so anouther I read the news today problem.
I work in a building in Shibuya, at a large internet service provider.
Downstiars about 4 floors sits these guys Google yesterday acording to Slashdot Digg and Desktop Linux they are getting into the hosting game. No digg on them like most other things they do ..... they will probably do it very well. But that for me is not so good, not good at all. I am new at my company ( I am sure I wont get fired right away ) but man it just makes my stomac hurt thinking about going back to fixing desktops. FUCK I HOPE NOT.
