If you want love, you’re going to have to love somebody. If you want respect, you’re going to have to respect somebody.If you want recognition, you’re going to have to recognize.

If there’s one thing that never ceases to amaze me about the Olympics, it’s that every athlete I’ve seen compete has some sort of amazing story, some type of tremendous ( Read more... )

After having relinquished our tickets for Garden State…Peter, Erasmo, and myself thought the only credible substitute was AVP. What follows are my thoughts on the film, and it’s wonderfully fresh take on adversarial values, environmental protection, and choking the chicken for all it’s worth.

*Spoiler Alert!*

I was telling Peter about Panda Express a few days ago, and my fantasy of being trapped inside overnight. With that in mind, I’d like to say this quiz is fucked up. IT’S ALL LIES AND BULLSHIT! NO ONE TAKE IT! This is just another case of life imitating art, and the horrible effects it has on post-McCarthy era youth…

Now, this test was taken with the assumption in mind that I would be drinking, smoking, and using recreational pharmaceuticals on a regular basis for the next few months. Obviously, that’s not going to happen, but nothing bad ever came from wishful thinking. So, yea…

Sorry if my lasts two posts sucked. No more philosophical/personal meanderings of the written kind.

Condolences go out to all the folks who will be returning to that Turkish prison known as high school, or in some cases, those who will be venturing to hell for the very first time. It’s not so bad when you trip out on codeine with an empty stomach ( Read more... )

My story has been told a million times, by a thousand different authors, in a hundred different languages…but maybe never quite like this.

As you’ve probably concluded from the title of this post, I finally saw American Beauty. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and rarely do I ever feel completely satisfied with anything, or anyone. If you choose to look behind the curtain, maybe you’ll find something useful. If not, then there’s always tomorrow, hopefully…

I’m really digging my hair now. I mean, it’s everything I’ve never known I’ve ever wanted.

I LOVE cooking! I’m not the greatest, but I’m not afraid to try new things in the realm of home cuisine. Sexual tensions were flaring this afternoon when I was trying to bake a cake to Bjork’s “Enjoy.” Thankfully, no one in the kitchen was perceptive enough ( Read more... )

The only question I didn’t understand was “Do you like to ‘live large?’ I had no idea what the fuck that meant. Maybe that’s the straw that broke the donkeys back and placed me in Level 7. Oh wait, it was probably all those nights of kinky premarital sex and treasonous LJ posts. I’ll be sure to clear that up in the next life, or maybe just put it ( Read more... )

I’m assembling a “genius” list and a “fuck you” list. Here is what I’ve got so far…

Fuck you!: Name droppers, P.F. Chang, The little red headed girl with freckles from Wendy’s, Trevor Brown, and Jerry Bruckheimer.

Genius!: Vincent Gallo, The Beatles, Pee Wee Herman, Radiohead, Ken Andrews, Kermit the Frog, and the guy who invented the spork.
