I was very nearly run over by an old woman in a cadillac on the way home. Remember in Ferris Bueller when the Dad can't pass the old lady?? This way the exact same woman. Honestly, she did not see me, or the other 3-5 people crossing the street (while the 'Walk' sign was on) at all. If I had not run and jumped out of the way, I could be dead ( Read more... )

Tonight, I discovered some disturbing news. The Dismemberment Plan is no more. I'm at a loss here really, this is completely out of the blue. They didn't even hate each other or anything. As of this second, I have met one other person who likes the Plan, and I didn't even meet him -- I just saw his D Plan t-shirt one day on the concourse. I ( Read more... )

Late last night, the stress free zone returned into my world. Thank goodness, I have been a moody asshole lately. You might be wondering, "Why did you lose the stress free zone in the first place?" And that would be a good question. You see, I got stressed out over Chrissie break trying to record and write songs. Thus the stress free zone ( Read more... )

As you may know from before, I have been experiencing a Beatles renaissance. Yesterday, I found out something very very disturbing. A friend of mine burned Sgt. Pepper for me, and I was very excited, at least until I heard THAT song. You know the one I mean -- the one on the Magnavox commercials. The problem is, the Beatles' version is really ( Read more... )

Boy oh boy, it's super bowl weekend and i'm quite excited. For the first time in a few years, the game should hold my interest. Not that either of the teams is a favorite of mine, it's just that the matchup is so compelling. Should be good ( Read more... )

Back in Vietnam, as well as in other wars, the soldiers were subjected to psychological warfare. You know, someone plays with their mind to break them down and thus obtain information. It has now come to my attention that a similar form of psychological warfare is going on in my own life ( Read more... )

i like to mess with people. it's not that i really have anything at all against most of them, i just like to have some fun at their expense. case in point, i am willing to risk a speeding ticket just to scare the crap out of John Q. Motorist or lay on my horn for a solid 2 minutes in a residential neighborhood. am i the only one that does this ( Read more... )

Earlier today, I saw this guy on the street that looked exactly like a friend of mine. This friend of mine looks exactly like Ben Stiller. So in essence, I saw someone who looked exactly like Ben Stiller on the street today. Yeah, I'm bored.

I love buying used CD's. Maybe it's the whole thrill of the hunt -- combing through scores of crappy albums to find a diamond in the rough. I mean really, who sells an album like Synchronicity??? Honestly, who does that?

Christmas break went entirely too fast. But now that school is back, it's not so bad. That could have something to do with the fact that my schedule is akin to a certain Mickey Mouse. Just when I thought nothing could go wrong with the semester, Thursday morning rolled around. I anxiously awaited my Music Theory class at 9:30 ( Read more... )
