Pressure...

Understanding “pressure” as we conventionally refer to it is flawed. Too often, pressure is the lack of options. If the phrase were “Do or Die Or Get Ice Cream” it would change the intrinsic motivation of the situation. Perhaps then, we need to change the possible outcomes of any situation to include a third option and move away from the binary finality we embrace as creatures of fact. Creatively...

Autotune: You’re Fucking Bullshit. And IR...

First, this isn’t some scathing rant like you’d read on some audiophiles website. I’m just not that person. I actually wrote an article on “How to AutoTune Your Music For Free” to see if even a hack like me could benefit from Autotuning. The reality of the situation is that I am, in a way, disabled. I don’t have the ability to appreciate music like other people I know. I’m not...

Genetic Destiny...

I was dancing with an absolutely gorgeous girl last night. She wasn’t my girl, I was just keeping an eye on her, but she was the kind of girl that makes everyone else look at you and think “What is this jerk’s secret?”. While I was doing so, I noticed that she was sweating. Not like she was on trial for murder or anything, but just enough to be shiny. I looked at my hand where I was holding it...

What do I do with my time?...

I’ve taken up a new hobby: Holding my breath. Yes, that’s right. I sit there like an idiot in class holding my breath. Eventually, unable to hold it in anymore, I exhale like I just took the biggest bong hit ever. Usually, I’ll try to count the seconds I am able to hold it, however sometimes I do it just to do it. I have a theory that counting makes you aware you’re not breathing and psyches you...

Anyone else?...

Is anyone else ridiculously attracted to the girl from the new Death Cab For Cutie video? I’d marriage her ass. I have such random weaknesses. And here is the video where she treks around the world all hot like:

How To Paint Your Own Shoes...

I bought a pair of shoes last summer that I consider to be trusted allies. They’re my favorites, and oing with the theme of “Favorites” this week, I decided to try and replace them with the same, or a similar pair of shoes. Apparently, in one year, a lot has changed in the illustrious world of Men’s shoe fashion. Not that I have ever been very fashionable. Here are my main criteria when shopping...

World AIDS Day 2007 (My Birthday)...

Maybe it’s because every year I give this post the same title, but it seems that my birthdays seem to be getting closer and closer together. Like I’m living on Venus where time moves really quickly. However, I notice that my birthdays are getting better and better each year. This year, I made reservations at my favorite dive bar, Iguana Macks. How can you go wrong attending any establishment with “Mack”...

Something Beautiful…...

I just got done writing an explication and then reading it aloud. I found a sentence I think is just delicious: “These actions give solace to the chef unsure of her guests fondness for dishes from the Shetland Isle. ” Say it aloud a few times.

T-Minus 21...

I’m turning 21 in … just a little bit more than 24 hours. Its ridiculous. I’m not 21. I’ve never even had a chance to really use my fake ID. Its gotten me a couple of drinks a couple of places, but I always feel like a spy using a fake passport. Still makes me nervous. Somehow, there is nothing romantic about using one’s own ID. Nothing romantic about being able to go wherever I want.  Even...

Glorious Return To Blogging...

It’s been a while. Like… 11 Months 22 days. I can’t really say why I stopped writing… Maybe it was working full time? Maybe it was both sleeping full time and working full time. I don’t know. I’ve felt compelled to start writing again. I felt like when I was keeping my blog, exciting, interesting things were happening to me. Since I’ve stopped writing, I can’t think of anything...
