one day.

weekend in the city

i'll be headed to powells in a second to look at some more logo design books. if i went to art school, i would take a course on perspectives. i'm never right with my angles, shadows, and proportion of objects on my canvas. i try drawing people walking their dogs outside, and the dogs end up looking like dinosaurs.

why does mic like camby and finley so much?

live free or die hard comes out this wednesday. justin long is in it too. i hope there's a part in the film where john mclane and justin's character have to introduce themselves and justin says "hi, i'm a mac."

le pigeon in the mornirnrrngggggg. i remember having a crush on a girl in high school who liked me back.. but i kept smuthering her and asking her all these questions and then one day told me she lost interest in me. i commend her for her patience. girls hold all the control. and you're screwed if your relationship turns into a fight for the upper-hand.

rachael ray seems upset that she just got referred to a fast food restaurant on her '$40 a day' show.

california all next weeek. the bay, LA, eat some hay.

little thoughts

the older i get, the less my shoe laces get untied themselves. i wonder what it's like to think "man, i couldn't beat the 18 year old version of myself in ball." that will be a day of complete shock. i always think i can work on my vertical.

i had a chair massage today. and she made the knots come out even more. i don't know if this was done on purpose. she recommended yoga to balance all the weight lifting. if i was a massage therapist, i could tell everyone that they had a problem with themselves - and that i had the cure for it. "come see me every week."

i think reps, magazines, and tv stations need to start rating ad agencies. like ebay. and then post all the results publicly. imagine if we had to cater to them.. afterall, they are the gatekeepers to their audience.

light bulbs

the bulbs that came with my apt are so much brighter than the ones i bought. i have no idea why. i'm googling the different kinds of light bulbs out there and am upset that i didn't do this research earlier. i want to tan in my living room.

anyone else in portland notice that it was 945pm last night and there was still light outside? like enough light to play ball. i wouldn't know when to stop.

tori amos is no M I L F.

i'm proud of uc irvine's baseball team for being in the college baseball world series. i texted my bro that it must be the boba and lee's sandwiches.

over and ride

after watching once, i've been trying to write a sap song (not for kahkah, mic). but i can't because in the end i know that i'll just break up with her and it's extremely pointless. i've pretty much lost all hope. nobody wants to listen to songs about miscommunication and petty fights. hopeless romanTICKS. scratch and scratch until you go numb. there's no cure for them. they're too used to getting bitten.

I'm looking for one of these in the PDX:
Giclée, from the French term meaning "spray of ink", is a high-resolution, high-quality reproduction individually printed on a special large format printer. These beautiful digital reproductions are virtually unparalleled in quality and range of color, and are at the leading edge of fine art printmaking.

who wants a high res print of my face? jk.

infected wound from a rusty ring

ucr cancalled their graduation today because of bomb threats. who would spoil a graduation? who didn't get their degree? must have been one of those bio med kids.

if there was an instance in the past five years that changed my life, it would probably be meeting her on the elevator going to work in DC that summer morning in 2004. i think she was running late. i was in my suit and carrying my longboard. she had so much life in her. of course i fell for her, and learned that girls who are passionate about life are crazy. and all that came out of it (the people i met, the emotions i faced, the catch ups from whenever we were both in california) has pretty much led me to where i am now. i still never meant to throw that poker chip at you.

world series of pop culture starts in a month. in twenty years i will be amazing. i can't wait for this decade to be over, i'm so good with 00's music. i feel so young saying that.

falllling slowly

imagine if someone replaced streetlights with blue, purple, and grey bulbs or reversed the order of the red, yellow, and green. worst stunt art ever.

i wish i could mount my guitar stand to the wall next to my coat hanger. if everything was mounted to the wall, it would be more fun.. your couch, tv, dining table... you can flood your floors and pretend to live on a boat. kind of.

Thus all modern propaganda profits from the structure of the mass, but exploits the individual's need for self affirmation.

i bet everyone can name three brands that describe who they are. it could probably speak more than any three words. try it next time at an interview. "hello, i'm a mac." i wonder if they had brands in the ancient days.. like if people who used a certain hammer were perceived a different way. i bet they had event promotions and out of home billboards back then.

i'm a music genius now

i watched "once" today.. it was so brilliant and entertaining. i wish i had more time with my guitar. barry zito style. i even have an A's cap (or Giants cap, whatever).

I like VOD music videos. bowling for soup is the only pop band i know where everyone is overweight.

this ilike music challenge game has consumed me. i'm starting to listen to more massive attack, the veronicas, and bob dylan. i'm sure the contestants for jeopardy read newsweek and wikipedia for fun

i've got the gift of one liners, you have the curse of curse.

To Unspoken: I don't know you | but I want you | all the more for that | words fall through me | and always fool me | and I can't react.

then i was reminded me of this song:
...and all our sins come back to haunt us in the end
to hang around and tap us on the shoulder
and smile
silent
it's all implied
"you'll die trying to live this down. you might as well forget it."

i'm just going to bask in this

if this was a sport, i would need to work on my bob dylan skills. haha, i have my pop punk and emo genres covered.

i may actually get seven hours tonight

A.B.C. always pick C.

I've decided that the best way to win in Settlers is to play the board and get on as many numbers as you can.. like roulette. and development cards are so deceiving.

where does all the time go

i should be asleep right now but i'm catching up on my lounging and doing nothing.. i think i have two more hours worth and then i can go back to being productive.

sing me spanish techno. after looking for chords/tabs for jose gonzalez, i feel like i should retune my guitar to find some new chords. nobody writes in EADGBE anymore.

Kick the wall smash the lights, ricochets burning up
Firecracker
Firecracker
I will not complain at all
I will never be tricked by you.
No No No
I will never be tricked by you.

panic&run. it's okay to be scared. we'll never get it all. panic&____. how do you react? panic&laugh. panic&hide. panic&cry. panic&persevere.
