oh this reminds me of home. i never went to enough of these.

if i were not upon the stage..

Why is Clyde Drexler on Dancing With the Stars?

Stacy tagged me to do this. Because I respect and like Stacy, I will do this. I'm glad her tag did not end with a "have ten people do this or you will come down with a fatal disease. or fall in love." [Both are the same in my book]

Each player of this game starts off with ten weird things or habits or little known facts about yourself. People who get tagged must write in a blog of their own ten weird things or habits or little known facts as well as state this rule clearly. At the end you must choose six people to be tagged and list their names. No tagbacks!

1. I like to drive down the middle and pull your defender over and drop a pass to you if you're under the basket.
2. I can also only play G and D major songs on the piano. I'm screwed in other keys.
3. I placed first in a Southern California mathematics competition in 8th grade.
4. I don't like combing my hair; so if you give me a hair cut you have to do a razor cut on top, layer it, and shutter the front. I depend on the textured look. I've always wanted hair like Wally.
5. I will doodle like no other. on everything. including my desk at work.
6. I have peanut butter and honey sandwiches every morning.
7. I like reading books on the nature of sports business and economics.
8. 3 sites i visit everyday: threadless.com, absolutepunk.net, and sports.yahoo.com. and maybe facebook.
9. I don't know how to burp. You can offer me a hundred bucks to do it and I still can't do it.
10. I try to only hold my guitar pick with my thumb and index finger and let the rest of my fingers drop. it looks cooler and more fluid despite how hard it is to control my strum.

I tag...

john ralston sounds like elliot smith

No I never got along with life.
And I never had the stomach for a suicide.
But I’ve got subtle ways to shorten my days.
Do whatever it takes to get me by.

No one said that this was easy.
No one handed you a free pass for the ride.
No said that this was easy.
Keep your chin up maybe things will play out right
In the game of life. - no one said it was easy

nba vegas weekend!

does anyone know where to get dwight howard's slam dunk sticker? that was the best dunk of the night. i'm going get that sticker and stick it to the net.

this was rumored: "Vegas Confidential has learned the 5-foot-7 New York Knicks star was at Western High School's gym Friday practicing a routine in which he leaped over a Playboy Bunny dealer who was seated at a blackjack table." He's like a little baby.


is it me or was there a lot of pent up sexual tension during this weekend's festivities? maybe it's vegas.. maybe everyone hates tim hardaway:

Shaq + Lebron + Dwight Howard Freak Fest

Chuck & Dick:


and shaq kissed mcgrady on the cheek during the game.

oh sigh

being left handed is hard. i can't find a baseball glove i like.

finally

very well put. stop thinking i'm weird.

THE ENDORSEMENT: Bushy Brows
A woman's eyebrows do the work. The eyeballs and lids get all the credit, but for what? They wink, they cry, they squint. Easy. The brows, though, are the under appreciated assistants, the ripe, unruly foils for the eyeballs' moist vacancy. They offer exclamation to a smirk or a glance. They telegraph derision, approval, acceptance, mischief - and they can switch between any of these with the slightest movement.

But only if a woman lets them run free a little. Over pluck and you become expressively impotent. Take Shannen Doherty: She's only ever looked surprised, drugged, or interested in having you killed. Like a sleepy alien. Eyebrows should be slightly - stay with me here - feral. They should fall somewhere on the hairiness spectrum between Jennifer Aniston and Frida Kahlo - very early Frida Kahlo. Basically, JENNFIFER CONNELLY IN EVERYTHING SHE'S EVER DONE.

Eyebrows have gotten bushier lately. Look at the woman across the bar. Look at your wife. I have no idea what it means or whether Marie Clarie has done a story on it, but they're out there, like millions of hungry caterpillars getting fatter. And more emotionally nuanced. And better looking. - Ross McCammon [Esquire March 2007]

Rules of the Game

Do you think she owes you an explanation for everything? Like you deserve it? Cling onto what you can accomplish for your dear life.

Patagonia is having their gigantic sale this week. I was in line for half an hour today to purchase my jacket. Only people in the northwest and people that go hiking know of this place. I could never see Paris Hilton or Nick Lachey wearing this stuff.


happy jaded day!

CONSUME

please don't go "huh?"

it's what tears me apart the most. it makes me want to sell out so bad so it would ease all criticism. it really does make you feel like a nut. i need to go back to LA so i know what it's like to be superficial again.

individualistic bullcrap never sells. it only amuses the artist.


it would be nice to make people laugh like glenn.

i'm so glad i work in business.

schuyler fisk and josh radin are so together.

But you know I would hate anything to happen to her
No I don't want to see her

Do you really think she'll pull through?

"Why gay athletes like John Amaechi must wait until they're out of sports to out themselves. "

It's an interesting video on Yahoo! Sports. This whole week has been full of people coming out of the closet in my life.

phrase of the year

cling on to ____ for your dear life. whether it's joy, faith, truth, or change. in case of some emergencies, let it override your emotions, thoughts, and ambitions. but you always need a copilot if you do that. always. you can never go through this alone and you never should.

if your plane is spinning downwards at a thousand miles an hour, hold your breathe, close your eyes, and focus every ounce on riding it out. don't hit eject yet, "not yet," he says. "we'll get out of this together. there's no giving up when we're together."

Excel is so powerful

i seriously work at a fun house. with a keg on every floor. and white russian wednesdays. at 3pm. i also have coworkers try to knock things off my desk with plastic axes.

go buy a weekend in the city and infinity on high

and here i have a chance to play naive.
or i can blow this out of proportion.
i'm trying to gauge my intentions to see how much i should lie to myself.
should i even lie to myself? should i even be honest with you?
you don't want to hear it.
don't go through this with me again [and again and again]
maybe i'm really realizing how hard it is to let go.

and at the end of the day, no matter how many words goes through my mind:
this pretty packaged present still lies in front of me asking me to open it.

self control is so underrated.

rex grossman

the bears defense must feel so bad for not being able to bail rex out of this one. like they didn't do their job right.

i'm glad that peyton finally has his ring. and that the patriots aren't in the super bowl. america can finally be over both of them. Time for michael vick, chad johnson, or TO to win a ring. the NFL needs more bad asses in the super bowl. and tank johnson doesn't count. unless he carried a gun in his back pocket while playing.

So I was listening to some Ivy tonight and it brought me back memories of being in high school and having no idea what I was doing with my life haha. And it made me think of a girl I liked. They sing in French and I don't understand them. Whenever I listen to any Cartel, Jack's Mannequin, frickin Jay Chou, or "My Humps", it makes me think of different parts of Hong Kong. Whenever I listen to Number One Fan or old old school My Chemical Romance I think of Washington, DC and feeling even more lost with my direction in life.

When I listen to new new My Chemical Romance, the first track has lyrics and melodies really similar to Taking Back Sunday's "There's No I In Team." And when I start thinking of that TBS song, I think about how I recently realized they use lyrics from Brand New's "Seventy Times Seven" track. TBS and Brand New had an emo equivalent tupac/biggie feud. And then I think about John Nolan [from TBS] performing 70x7 with Brand New live. By the time I'm done thinking this through, the MCR song is over and I have to replay it because I totally forgot what I was listening to.

I'm redesigning panic&run and would love to start taking projects again. gimme gimme.

If they only played the commercials on the jumbotron

The irony of the Super Bowl is when you go to it, you miss the Super Bowl. It's a television event. When you go, it's awesome no doubt. But when you return to work the next Monday, you have lost all context around the water cooler. And it's not one of those "oooh, don't tell me what happened -- I taped it." It's over -- you are out of the loop. A cultural milepost slept through...
