Just got home from a weekend of messenger related happenings. This weekend was the Westside Invite, which is basically the second (I think) biggest messenger race in the country (I could be wrong about that).

Saturday was the coffeecat, a race that started at downtown stumptown and had 5 more stops along the way. At each stop you had to drink ( Read more... )

If you know me, and you've read the title to this post, then you know what has happened.

I may or may not have asked someone of the opposite sex on a date of sorts. she said yes. jesus christ that was the hardest few minutes of my life.

andrew i'm sorry for the bail. somethings had to be done. just this really. but i appologize.

With the rainy season comes an army of umbrellas. If you are of ( Read more... )

Sparked by someone’s blog, which is ironic(I’ll get to why later) I’ve gone on that proverbial, “I’m done with myspace” thing. Its become such a social crutch that it has basically become this hegemonic socialization agent for those in the 14-35 age range. It allows people the opportunity to construct themselves in what they feel is their most ( Read more... )

Ahh, well so much has happened since my last journal entry.  The epic deconstruction of my close network of friends, new living and working arrangements, a vacation amidst my other vacations, and other stuff have helped the summer bleed into fall.

So, I'm in Salt Lake City. This place is as fucking insane as you can imagine. Perhaps its my fault for not traveling far from the coast but, life out here is bizarre.

So, its fairly late for me, so this will be brief. The stay in Tucson has been pretty rad. Kris’ friends are all awesome people, and are easy to get along with.  This probably has something to do with them being about 7 years older than I am.  Even though I’ve been spending the night at his mother’s house, I have not, as of yet, actually seen his ( Read more... )

Ah, so, I’m leaving in about 2 hours. My destinations include: Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah, and some random states. Yikes. 5 weeks ( Read more... )

I apologize, in advance, for the overzealous use of parenthetical remarks. but fuck you, i like them ( Read more... )

I guess I just let yesterday slip by without realizing it, but it was my 1 year anniversary of being vegan. By my approximation, I feel that being vegan can be correlated to my relatively newfound success in school. Without such a harsh ideology to model my life around, I was just “half-assing” it.  Just being vegetarian for so long ( Read more... )
