“Racing butterfly is so horrible. Right after that first wall I start thinking, ‘Why? Why do I do this to myself? Dumb, dumb, dumb.’”

“Right after I dive in I start thinking that.”

Zwan, made up of Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins), Matt Sweeny (Chavez, Skunk, and some other bands), David Pajo (Slint, Papa M, and some other bands), Paz Lenchantin (most notably A Perfect Circle, but he also played in some other bands), and Jimmy Chamberlin (Smashing Pumpkins), was formed in 2001. They broke up in 2003. It was short-lived, but they made some really great music. The only album they produced was “Mary Star of the Sea” and it sounded like a happy, early version of the Smashing Pumpkins.

Good news, my friends. I will not have to tell you anymore about how Zwan sounds like. You can listen for yourself.

If you haven’t heard yet, Mel Gibson has been arrested for DUI.

Gibson has had a previous DUI arrest in 1984, but went to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings in the early 1990s to deal with his problem.

I kind of doubt that he was anonymous at the Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. In fact, I bet AA saw a spike of “alcoholics” attending the meetings during that time.

This is Nick (and Gwen). Nick was a normal lifeguard who did his job well. He even taught swimming lessons.

One day, Nick decided that working at this pool was the crappiest job ever.

The only thing fun about working at the pool was jumping off the top of the slide.

But even that much fun didn’t make up for the all the drama and stress that working at the pool brought. He wanted to shoot himself every day because it was so horrible to work at the pool.

So instead of shooting himself, he quit.

The end.
