Dear Absent Valentine,

You didn’t show up this year. You didn’t show up last year either. Fuck, now that I think about it, I’ve never even seen you before. But that’s not important. What’s important is that I really like you a lot. If you were hear today I’d treat you to a Swanson’s TV dinner, and a movie I got off netflix. Do you like the Back to ( Read more... )

Holy fucking shit. Before anyone starts thinking that I’ve become a neo-progressive (I’m all for exploiting the illusion of the American Dream!) , and want to change the world through programs monitored by sleazy bureaucrats, let me turn your ( Read more... )

Is there anyone out there who wants to go to the Kings of Convenience concert @ The Paradise Rock Club. I’m really, really, REALLY excited about attending this show. It’d be awesome to know that someone else out there is as eager as I am. Anyone?…it’s only $12.

So, I went to the JAMnesty event at the GSU yesterday. My buddy Joe’s band (Wasted ( Read more... )

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

I’d like to apologize to all my LJ friends. Today, I looked at my facebook page before I logged into ( Read more... )

(Cue Blur “Tender” and The Dismemberment Plan “Life of Possibilities”…this is a LONG post)

As you can tell, this is my first entry from BU, in Warren Tower C. I don’t know why, but I’m starting to regret coming here. What was I thinking? A new kid in a giant dormitory, with no friends. That’s me. I hate it, because in my mind I’m so used to having ( Read more... )

Maybe this whole thing was a few months late, but for me it’s right on time: http://www.livejournal.com/users/koolaidhangover/71801.html

Here I stand, again -- ready. Completely. I am no longer in search of...I already found it. Now it’s time to learn how to use it. And I suppose one day, I’ll begin another journey for something else entirely. But ( Read more... )

I’ve spent the past two days held up in my room playing Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. In between 5 hour play blocks, I ate @ Panda Express (twice!), discovered a new use for Pringle’s cans, helped an elderly woman call her daughter using 1-800-Collect (the daughter left her at the mall, in Foley's!), got a bunch of free cookies from Great ( Read more... )

DAMMIT! I tried my best NOT to post until the day before I leave for Boston, but I couldn’t help myself. After realizing that my “New Year” doesn’t technically start until January 13th, I just couldn’t resist. I’ll probably be celebrating it in a dorm room, with a bottle of cheap vodka, all alone…and now that I think about it, that’ll probably be ( Read more... )

So here I stand -- ready. Well, almost. I’m surrounded by gifts from people - of people, of materials to help me along my way, and with so many amazing memories.

I think my last two posts summarize everything I can articulate for the time being. Truth be told, I’m not in much of a mood to update either, although I still enjoy attempting to bring ( Read more... )

The Official Countdown to Boston begins today: T-Minus 30 days and countin’…

I’m taking this show national! What exactly does that mean? I have no fucking clue, but that’s the awesome part about this. Call me a hopeless romantic, but there is something absolutely beautiful about arriving in a new place in the dead of Winter, then watching it bloom ( Read more... )
